Rio Grande Mystery Cross.

One of the most interesting land
marks In ali the southwest is La Cruz,
or the Cross Hill, about four miles
east Of Rio Grande City, Texas, OH the
Brownsville road. A white cross
stands at the peak of white chalk
hill. There is no description of any
kind. Numerous tales are told regard
Ing La Cruz. One is that in the early
days one of the Franciscan monks,
while travelling through this wilder
ness, became lost and climbed to this
spot hoping to find himself, but that he
finally died Of starvation. and his body
later was buried there, and the cross
erected to mark his resting place. An
other tale concerns a flood from the
Rio Grande. AS the waters were rap
idly approaching a man rode through
the country warning those who lived
in the bottoms, and everyone was
saved except this man, and that though
his body was never recovered, this
monument was built in memory of his
heroic death.

corduroy" Comes From the French

A bit of the story Of the French
Huguenots lies concealed in the word
corduroy" The word is evidently de.
rived from the French "corde du roi"
the kings cord. Just how this par
ticular kind of cloth came to he called
the "king's cord" does not appear in
the record. But its French origin is
undoubted. The textile industry was
originally in the hands Of the French
Huguenots-in Europe, that IS to say
for that industry was highly developed
In China and India when Europe was
turning out small supplies for home
consumption. 1t is probably to the
Huguenot pioneers of the industrializa-
ton of textiles that we owe the word
Corduroy" probably coined as a subtle
compliment to reigning king.

Fragrance Of Flowers.


The fragrance Of flowers regulates
their temperature. says a professor Of
chemistry at the University Of Nevada.
at Reno. He bases his belief on recent
experiments with the essential oils of
certain desert plants. These oils APP
parently serve al protection against
the extreme heat Of MONDAY and the
chill Of night.
The vapor of the oils absorbs more
heat than ordinary air, he says. Rose
oil absorbs thirty-six times as much
heat and anisol 352 times as much. BY
surrounding itself with a layer of such
odor-filled air, the rlant reduces the
amount of heat which reaches it in the
daytime and also obtains sort of air
blanket to protect it against the chill
Of night.

BROCK DISP0SES OF
 HOLDINGS

Malcolm Brock, president of The First Bank of Cordova and pres1- dent of the Blum-O O'Neill Company, has disposed of his interest in both of these institutions to the other stockholders and has decided to locate in the States, leaving here on the next southbound trip of the steamer Alameda.
 MT. Brock has been a resident of Cordova for the past thirteen years, being one of our earliest locators, and upon the death of the late Sam uel Blum, five years ago, succeeded him as the head of the two. corpor- ations, which have attained most successful and enviable place in the commercial and financial affairs Of the Territory. He is recognized as one of our most capable and en- terprising business men whose de- parture will be a distinct loss to Cordoya and to this section of AL aska.
 MT. Brock served the city for three terms as member of the city council, and has for years been on the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce. During the war he was chairman of this section of two Liberty Loan Campaigns and was a member of the Council of Ma tional Defense, as well as an ef- fective four minute speaker.
 The present beautiful quarters of the First Bank, the first concrete building in Cordova, were erected under his direction.
 He and his family will locate in California, their old home where he intends to become interested in business They take with them the we'll wishes of a large circle of friends to their new place of abode and will be greatly missed here where they figured so prominently in the business and social life of the community.
 Said MT. Brock, 'I felt that I could not overlook the opportunity to dis pose of all of my holdings to ad- vantage I cannot leave Cofdova, however, without a feeling of sad ness; my greatest regret will be
