PAVEHLCHVAY
Commissioners Court
Calls 100000 Bond
Election
fSnecial to The Heraldl

RAYMONDVILLE, Texas, Sept. 16.-
Willacy county today took the first
definite step toward closing up part of
the gap in the paved highway direct
from Brownsville to Kingsville when
the commissioners court yesterday, or
dered a bond election on a 100000
issue for road paving.
Three hundred thousand dollars will
be sufficient to place a hard surface
on the highway through the county, the
court estimated, this road covering a dis
tance Of about 20 miles.
The highway will start at the Cam
eron county line. and will go north,
east of the railway, to Yturria, from
track, on the west side of the railway,
to the Kennedy county line.
Cameron county still has strip of
about eight and half miles of unpaved
road, from the end Of the present paw
ing, on up to the Willacy county line.
Kennedy county has not paved the
highway through that county, which
will remain as the only unpaved strip
on the direct route from Brown sville up
to Kingsvile, if the Willacy county paw
ing project is carried out.
An effort will be made by people of
the county interested in paving to in
sure success Of the bond election, and if
it is passed the bonds will be issued
and tn epaving started at once.
County Judge Oscar c. Dancy, of
Cameron county today expressed him
self as being heartily in favor Of the
proposed project through Willacy coun-
ty.
Cameron county people should pave
the strip which remains unpaved be-
tween the end of the present concrete
road and Willacy county, and / do not
believe there will be any opposition to
this when it is ascertained that Willacy
county is going to pa" a road through
there" Judge Dancy said

This time it is the jewelry trade

if they cannot get real ones they

that pendants with ornate gold set

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. March 1.-THE middle
class, stay-at-home Britons are being
encouraged to go get a fleetine
glimpse of the new world this coming
Summer during their regular annual
holidays. Vacations for the majority
of white -collared workers who in
habit this island consist of 81 days
Heretofore the middle classes have
counted on no further holiday excur-
sions than jaunts to the countries
just across the channel; relatively
few get so far away as Italy.
And now the steamship companies
for a mere $50, less than $3.50, offer
to take them to the tabled city OF
New York, whiz them rapidly for a
few days around the American me-
tropolis, show them few spots in
Canada, and deliver them back home
all within those precious 81 days of
Summer holiday.
AppetiteS Are Whetted.
1t is vision that to many of the
stay-at-homeS seems too good to be
true. Every day. almost. they read
of America in their newspapers and
magazines, and their eyes are gorged
with the splendor and glitter of the
new world each time they go to the
movies. Their appetites are whetted
for this wonderland by the annual
visits of American golfers and tennis
stars and the Homecoming tales of
the endless stream of British authors.

sums to lecture to them, or otherwise
amuse or instruct them.
Idea Takes Hold.
Up to now the middle class folk
who stay at home have never even
seriously thought for a minute of
America. as a possible place for mere
~ a holiday visit, in the sense that
so many Americans seem to regard
Europe. Leisured Britons by the
hundreds have. of course. visited
America purely on pleasure bent and
the trading travellers of England and
Scotland occupy a good many cabins
on every ship bound for New York
But, except for these, most of the
BritonS who set out for America in
the past were either the poor who
crossed the Atlantic to make a new
start and a new home, or else those
of rowing dispositions who wander
everywhere.
This Summer, however, or some
future Summer, it may be that
middle class Europe will romp
around America as middle class
America scatters itself all over
Europe in the warmer seasons. The
steamship companies are trumpeting
their third class college cabins" in
an effort to make it so. Having tried
the college cabins" out on Ameri-
cans, who have eagerly taken up the
idea, the steamship lines are now
trying to induce poor but white-col-
Jared Europeans to get in the habit
OF thinking nothing of a trans
Atlantic trip.
