British Paper Raps Bryan
For Stand On Evolution

LONDON, June 1.-THE West
minister Gazette in an editorial on the
forthcoming evolution trial in Ten
nessee, today terms the attitude of
William Jennings Bryan of counsel
for the prosecution, as "too absurd
for serious people to consider"
"We tremble to think. it @adds,
"what such a spirit would concern
itself with if it had complete power"
The paper assumes. however. that the
case against the teacher, Mr.. Scopes,
who is being brought to trial for ex-
pounding the evolution theory, is as

Tennessee forbids such teaching.
SIN this case," the Gazette con-
tinues, ''it would seem wise to SWEEP
the law into the limbo of forgotten
useless things for no considerable
body of men and women can afford

FLOOD RUMORS
.AREUNFOUNDED
San Juan Normal; River
Up Four Feet Here;
Levees Break

The San Juan is only half full OF
water, falling. and is bringing down no
more flood water to augment the stage
of the Rio Grande. up here since
O'Clock yesterday, according to a report
Aldamas, Mexico. This report contra
diets rumors that the San Juan is bring
ing down big flood.
Almost unannounced, and entirely un-
welcome, lise has come down the Rio
Grande, the river at the present time
being at 1875 feet at the international
bridge here, or only two feet below the
high mark of the flood last week.
And with the rise came a break in the
river levees north of Brownsville. at
the same point where the water went
through during the LAST lise Of the riv'
err This break is shfrt distance up
stream from the Brownsville light and
power plant, and is letting water back
into the low lands and fields which were
flooded by water from the stream dur
ing the last rise.
Sacks were secured today, and work
of checking water which was running
through the 150-foot gap was started.
The river went up only a few feet at
points up stream, the rise here being
only about four feet. although the
stream was several feet above normal
when the rise started. At Rio Grande
City the river stood at II feet late this
morning, and was dropping. This is far
from being near flood stage there.
The report of the U. S. weather bu-
reau office here, given out by w. J.
Schnurbusch, meteorologist, also shows
that the river is now at IL feet at
Mission, and also falling there, which
indicates that the present high stage
here will not last long, as no flood
waters are coming down to hold it up.

IN OUR
VALLEY

Il VERYWHERE in the Lower Rio
- Grande Valley, both in the irri-
gated and "dry farm" districts, cotton
is looking just splendid.
The growers, the gnners, the busi-
hessmen, all take the greatest delight
in going out along the highways for a
view of the wonderful fields.
Here it is just approaching the bloom
stage, there one sees bolls almost ma
tured in size, in another place they are
just at the opening stage-but at very
infrequent intervals
A few leaf worms have been report
ed. also some boil weevil. Not in dam
gerous numbers, possibly, but Just
enough to cause some concern.
However, it is the rains that Just now
is worrying the grower, the ginner, the
businessman. June is normally fair
ly wet month, but this month it gives
promise of being above normal in the
matter of moisture.

Wrong. From appearances he can't
be over 40. Perhaps less than that.
He's got vitality Plenty of it and

for the Valley and everything that it
stands for-Opportunity, growth, devel-
opment, stabiliation.
Two years ago Jamie became ''sold ;"
on the Valley. Now he's back to stay
He may stray away occasionally for a
lecture or something of the sort, but

there was cracked b IL in the tower

Someone had the job of tapping the
bell whenever there was an alarm.
One tap of the bell meant First

But occasionally there would be some

star, including personality plus, but
shows to best advantage in solo dane
