How Eastman Keeps Fit

Looking at an English-Jewish publi-
cation the other day, we read an inter-
view with Sam eastman, the only Jew
ish professional bicycle rider in Amer
lea. eastman is undoubtedly one of
the best five riders behind motors. and
also one of the most colOrful SiN-day
bicycle riders in America. The inter
viewer describes Sammie rs n slight,
extremely wiry young man of medium
size. This is Sans recipe for keeping
fit for the strenuous game Of bicycle
racing: "The main thing in this game
is TO take care of yourself. My method
Is three good meals n day. and at least
ten hours sleep day-every day Yes,
it's simply proper food and sleep"
eastman intends racing in Europe
this winter. We believe. however, that
his success against European motor
paced riders would he very probematic,
as the French, German and Dutch
riders are far superior 10 the Ameri'
can cyclists.

LABOR PARLEY
IS HARMONIOUS
Slight Argument Arises
Over Property Of Dis
solved Bodies
(By the Associated Press)

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. 10
The only rippies on the hitherto placid
proceedings of the annual convention
OF the American Federation of Labor de-
veloped today over proposed minor
amendments of the constitution.
One of these, proposal by the law
committee, that the federation take
over the property of central state bodies
which might be dissolved, caused an ami
mated debate. Chairman Daniel ]. To
bin of the law committee, explained
that the proposed amendment was
merely for clarifying the statutes.
Matthew Woll, fifth vice president,
while approving the principle, thought
difficulties might be encountered in
cases where labor temples might be
owned by the discontinued bodies. He
offered a substitute resolution, refer
ring the question to the executive COM
mittee. Later, after debate, he with
drew his motion.
George w. Perkins, president Of the
cigar makers union, offered an amend
ment to the law committees recommen-
dation that the federation take charge
of such property "as a trustee" the
property to be returned in the event
the body should be re-organized.
Andrew Furuseth of the seamen's de-
legation opposed the measure, as did
other speakers, but the convention, by
a show of hands, overwhelmingly voted
for the resolution and amendment.

MATTY BURIED
!, LEWISDURC
Hero of Many Diamond
Battles Remembered
By Men in Game
(By the Associated Press)

LEWISBURG, Pa, Oct. 1O-Christy
Mathewson was laid to rest today in this
quiet little college town where he won
his first honors on the baseball dia-
mond. His body was borne to the little
whom he worked and fought his greatest
battles on the ball field. His grave
overlooks the grounds of 'Bucknell uni
versity from which he went forth years
ago to scale the topmost heights of
baseball fame.
Leaders Of the profession which
claimed 'Matty" as one of it's greatest
and most popular heroes, united with
the students of the university and the
men and women of Lewisburg in honor
ing his memory. Those who could not
be there in person, paid their tribute
in messages and flowers.
Christy's body, brought here last
night from Saranac Lake, n Y, where
he died after a five year fight against
tuberculosis, rested in state during the
noon hour today at the home of Mrs.
Mathewson's mother, Mrs. Frank c..
Stoughton.
Memories of Matty's tri1mphs of
years ago were called forth by the
floral tribute. One reminiscent of the
days when umpires announced Mathew
son and Bresnahn as the batteries for
the Giants, bore the name Roger Bres-
rahan. Another came from Judge Lam
dis, baseball's high commissioner. Vir-
tually every major league baseball Club
sent its offerings, as did the umpires Of
National league and league itself.

farther south than it was so years ago.
At one time the channel of the Rio
Grande was the Arrovo Colorado; at
another time the Arroyo 'el Tigre. Both
OF these arroyos show well defined en-
frances to the bay.
Another ground for the statement
that the river is travelling south is
shown in the city of Brownsville, accord
ing to the two.
Right here where we az sitting"
Mr.. Laurents said, was one time the
channel of the river He was sitting
in his office, at the Levee street en-
trance to the board walk.
That's why they call that Levee
street. 1t used to be the bank Of the
river"
Tie Rio Grande at that time, back In
1850, and for "a few years after that
time, ran along Levee street from a
point near the present site of the
Academy Of the Incarnate Word, where
it turned south, and moved from the
city
Mr.. Laurents fished out dusty old
map-one colored by age, ard eaten by
bugs in spots.
This shows how it has changed" he
said. The map showed a series of
channels of the Rio Grande, and showed
the cuts that have been made in past
and recent years. The river cut off the
first banco and left the former channel
as an estero which filled up years ago,
and is now part of the city of Browns
vile.
More Cuts Near Brownsville
In more recent times it cut another
horseshoe bend off, and left the resaca

The Rio Grande is moving south.
The river has no plans to go off and
leave the Valley, or to materially change
it's general course, but it y slowly ad-
ding to the Valley lands by cutting off
bends from the Mexico side.
This startling conclusion was reached
by A. A. Laurents, manager Of the
Brownsville Ferry Co, and Robert
Dalzell, real estate agent, both OF whom
have watched the meanderings of, the
Rio Grande for many years, and have
studied records going back before the
date of their actual observation.
The river will probably come back
gradually, they believe, as it shows a
tendency to remain more or less in the
central part of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, but now the tendency is toward
the south.
This conclusion was based on the ac-
tion of the river during the past two or
three floods In cutting off horseshoe
bends and leaving bancos on the. Amer
ican side. -Four times during the last
high stage of the river, which, Incl
dentally was one of the long high stages
of its history, the Rio Grande changed
its channel, and every time the change
was toward the south, transferring land
to the American side.
And in the spring Of the year during
high stage the river changed its course
once, transferring nearly 100 acres from
the Mexican to the American side near
Brownsville, in what is known as the
Ramireno bend.
Mouth Farther South
To prove the conclusion which they
have reached, Mr.. Dalzell and Mr.. Lau-
rents mention that the mouth of the
Rio Grande is now quarter Of a mile

According to physics rain is caused
by warm air containing moisture
becoming suddenly cooled and the re-
sulting condensation causes the pre-
cipitation of the resulting water to
the earth in rain. Mr.. Leinhard's plan
is to force shafts Of cold air into the
moisture laden air and cause
this condensation or else force the air
which is saturated with water from
the. Gulf of Mexico up to the higher
levels where the GOODNESS of the high
stratas will cause the precipitation.
With the Gulf breezes blowing as
steadily as they do it is believed that
this method of making rain" could
be used in nearly all parts Of Texas
at any time needed.

Such state of affairs would throw
the channel against large canal which

There is no way to account for what it
does. You can buirt- "a levee twenty feet

the levee will crumble beneath it.
