BROWNSVILLE TEXAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON APRIL H. 1922
.FirstHeat Wave
OF Year Sweeps
Lower Valley
The Valley sweItered yesterday.

The Valley sweItered yesterday.
Particularly did il swelter in and
around San Bcnito where Weather OBJ
server Heath reported that at 4:30 o.
clock Monday afternoon a maximum
temperature for the day Of 107 degrees
had been attained, while at Harrington
only six miles away, Observer Brown
reported that the temperature reached
| l0l degrees, which was recorded at 3 80
o'clock Monday.
Brownsville and immediate territory,
while not suffering under such an in
tense heat wave during the same hours,
perspired under a tcmperature Of 96.5
degrees. the maximum for the day, as
reported by Mrs. A. W. Reed, the local
weather observer.
The heat wave appears to have been
confined largely to thd district from
about Raymondvile south 20 the Rio
Grande and short distance inland from
the coast, perhaps not more than fifty
miles, for while Mercedes, Donna, Nc
Allen and other Hidalgol county points
temperatures reported exceedingly warm
weather, the temperatures did not ap-
pear to reach as high as they did in
Cameron county.
The record attained at San Benito is
unprecedented for that town for the
month Of April. and only on rarest oe-
casions, according TO old timers. is such
q temperature recorded in this section
even in mid. d.summer. The highest tenn
eratures in recent years in this section
IN April were recorded in 1919 when
Raymondville on one Sunday afternoon
experienced l06 degrees. Other towns
in the Valley recorded 100 and over on
the same day.
In Brownsville at noon Monday the
temperature was 905 and il began to 20
up and up until il attained the maximum
OF 96.5. AT San Benito temperature
Of 995 was recorded at / o'clock. after
which the mercury began to climb.

CAN WE HAVE NICKEL CIGARS?-By Frederic J. Haskln

Not only that, but the government is get
ting less revenue from the high tariff on I'M
ported tobaccos of high grade than 1t woulo
receive in income if the tariff were lower.
The lower import duty would, they contend
result in such an increase in importat1ons
that the bulk of the business would more
than offset the lower rate as far as the IN
come to the government would be concerned
Instead of being a protective tariff, as now
proposed the $2.35 duty on Sumatra wrapper
would act as a drawback to the efforts OF the
American tobacco planter, the makers OF
cigars aver. On the theory that a cheap cl-
gar without the Sumatra wrapper would not
sell readily, the makers say that raising
prices would reduce the volume. This, OF
course would hit the TOBACCO pIanCeIs III
rectly.
The tariff bill is not done with yet, and
the question of tho Sumatra wrapper is not
of very much Importance, When the Wnole
scope of the measure is considered. But
there is a lot of agitation, one way and
another, and more will be heard from it be-
fore the traiff bill is sent to President Har-
ding for his signature. The manufacturers
are trying to convince not only congress, DuC
the growers as well, that the best interests
of everyone would be conserved If the tariff
on imported Sumatra were brought down
several pegs.
For Home Grown Product
On the other hand there are those grow
ers who insist that a cigar can be made en-
tirely of American grown tobacco, which will
not only be readily acceptable to the class
of smokers who like the old five-cent class or
cigars, but that the demand will be good,
and. therefore, the American tobacco crop
can be marketed with a good return to the
raiser of domestic tobacco.
Some of the makers Of the cld-t1me five
centers were on the verge of big advertls-
ing campaigns based on getting out cigar
with the foreign wrapper at the old price
of a nickel apiece. These plans have been
held I'D pending the final action Of congress
on the question of duty on Sumatra. These
makers insist they cannot make the cigar
with the old wrapper to sell for five cents II
the proposed duty goes through, and Will
not even make an effort.
Some of the m ..lufacturers arc rather an
noyed that all Of the American growers DO
not see the situation from their point OF
view. One cigar maker here recently had
this to say:
American farmers who raise tobacco Will
be the first to feel the pressure, If the plan
to increase the duty is adopted. Instead OF
applauding the senators who are trying to
lam through the tariff, tobacco growers will
be likely to curse them year hence. With
a S235 tariff as proposed, we will have to
raise the price of domestic cigars or pay less
to the grower for his filler tobacco. IT we
raise prices to the consumer we will lose vol
ume so will the grower.

In ancient times in Venice there used to
be an institution called the Lions Mouth
which enabled the gentle Venetians to get
good and even with their enemies with no
danger to their own skins. All that they
had to do was to muffle themselves in a
cloak so as to hide their identity, and then
slip around in the darkness, and thrust into
hole in the wall carved into the effigy
of lions mouth paper in which some
loathed and hated individual was accused
of sedition, or treachery, or profiteering
or bootlegglng, or some other popular
crime.
And, 10. the trick was done, and life be-
came brighter and a happier thing with
ones rival reposing permanently at the
bottom Of a canal, or languishing in a
damp, dark dungeon
I have often felt that it was pity that
we let the idea Of the Lions Mouth go
entirely to waste, for sometimes it Is just
as desirable to be anonymous in love as it
is in hate for those who seek to do good
to others are in just as much danger of
being slain by those they wish to help, as
are the malicious, by those they are seeking
to destroy.
Therefore, it seems to me, that a modern
lied and humanized Lions Mouth might be
turned into an indispensable article of
household furniture, and thus meet long
felt want, for into Its mouth one could slip
surreptitiously the criticism on the faults
and foibles Of ones family and friends, and
call their attention to their little peculiar
tiles and mannerisms, as both prudence and
affection prevent one from doing openly.
Very few of us have the courage to tell
those we love to their faces of their short
comings We cannot bear to wound and
humiliate them, as we must if we remind
them of their weaknesses. Nor can we
endure the thought Of alternating their af-
fections from us, for we'll we know that
there are not many humble minded enough
to kiss the hand that Emites them.
I We may assure them that what we say
is for their own good. They see in it only
malice, and jealousy, and all uncharitable-
ness, and turn from us to those who have
honeyed words of praise on their lips. not
faultfinding.
Yet these very same people who resent
our personally telling them Of their faults
are not so besotted in egotism that they be-
lieve themselves perfect. They not only
realize that they have defects, but are anx-
ions to correct them, and to improve them
selves. They would even be grateful for
the knowledge of what it is that they do
wrong, or what breach of good manners
they commit, what unpleasant habit they
have fallen into, of what sin against good
taste they are guilty, If this knowledge
could be conveyed to them anonymously.

Dr.. John 4. Wueth

rT~ HE death of DR.. John A. Wyeth, of New
/ York City, a Southerner by birth, hi
education having begun at the Uni
versity of Louisville, and bright part
OF his career being hracketed with the service
of the Southern Confederacy, brings to mind
the great ambition of this distinguished
surgeon-the raising of American medicine
and surgery to the highest attainable level
and one that would match the standards OF
Europe at every point.
To this end, DR.. Vyeth, in 1882, when he
still was a young man, being thirty-seven
years old at the time, was instrumental in
the creation of the Polytechnic Medical
School and Hospital, the first postgraduate
medical school in the United States. Had he
done nothing but this, his influence would
have merited high place on the roll of honor
of American medical men.
DR.. Wyeth's biography is bright with ro-
nance and achievement. He was born in
Marshall county, Alabama, a son of Judge
Louis Wyeth. Too "oung at the beginning
of the War Between the States to enlist, the
boy rode with Quirk's company of Morgan
Men," until he could enlist. Then he enlist
ed, served valiantly, = as captured, and was a
prisoner fifteen H months at Camp Morton
Indiana.
After the war Dr. Wyeth went to New York
and continued his study of medicine, complet-
ing his education at Bellevue Medical College,
and beginning to recognize the then lamen-
table fact of American shortcomings in the
higher education of physicians and surgeons
Soon. too, he came in close touch with that
great surgeon, J. Marion Sims, whose daugh-
ter he married; and 1t was not long before
the devoted ambition of the youlg DR.. Wyeth
blossomed in the great Polytechnic school and
hospital.
Devotion to his profession still left this re-
markable man with time and energy for de-
velopment in another field. Always writer
of talent and force, he turned some of his
attention to literary work. and produced such
admirable books as his biography Of General
Forrest. and his autobiographical, with
Saber and Scalpel," which gives us pic
ture of the South before and during the War
Between the States that reveals as do few
other documents many somewhat obscure
phases of the conflict.
A graceful and convincing speaker; Of tall
and commanding physique; and with a
singular dignity and courtesy, he always was
at an advantage in any company; while his
wonderful personality served ever to deepen
the gracious first impressions he made.
With DR.. Wyeth passes one Of America' s
most forceful figures in medical science and
in social life.
