SAN BENITO. Texas, Sept. IL
Following an interesting discussion
on present and future needs Of the
Valley for irrigation water, mem
bers Of the Valley Chapter Of the
American Association of Engineers,
in session here tonight, took the first
step toward bringing about better
J understanding Of the Valleys posi-
tion in such matters, with a view to
protecting her rights.
This step consisted in the passage
of a motion by W. +. Anderson, local
esgineer. that a committee be APP
pointed to look into the matter OF
water needs and Valley rights, with
particular reference to the possible
results of demand being made for
water on the American side of the
river, above the Valley.
w. G. Anderson, w. O. Washing
ton, county engineer 70 Cameron
county, W. r. Shaw, consulting engi-
!. neer for Hidalgo count flood con-
troll work, and Q. +. Van Berg, presi-
dent Of the engineers, will name the
members Of this committee
Committee TO Collect Data
This committee is to collect al
available data on the irrigation sit
uation, concerning the usage of wa
ter, the needs now and in the future
and the results Of possible demands
in other sections, particularly on the
American side. This information vii
be presented to citizens of the Val
ley in the hopes of organizing a gen
eral Valley-wide committee to take
such steps as are necessary 10 pro
tect the Valleys interests.
The action resulted from an in
teresting discussion by Mr.. Anderson
and others present on the water sit
uation. Mr.. Anderson said that mat
ters are progressing toward an agree
ment with Mexico. and that wha
the Valley must do now is TO pro
tect her rights against other personl
owning lands on the American side
above the Valley. His belief wa!
later more forcefully expressed b,

she's really engaged is all very well.
but the modern boy doesn't want to be

whole cheese or he won't play at all.
And you ask me how you're going TO
keep in with lot of boys when they
all flare up at the mere mention Of
another mans Shame.
You must be running around with
lot of lion tanners. Mari. Honestly,
! il all your friends are of the same
| type--too selfish to let you so with

you-you'd Just better bid them all

Most modern boys don't seem to be

The other day Dick was heard to

anybody elSe--juSt sees me- he re-
marked uneasily. It's got me worried.

Dick wasn't noble and self-sacrific-
ing He just didn't want the rcspon-
Sibility of Wilma S future on his hands.
Didn't want her fearful reproaches.
when she found out he wasn't really
anxious to marry her at all.
And boys are usually that way. They

OF course, every boy likes to think
himself the big number in a girls life.
And she may let him think this in
mild way If she wants to.
There is no need for her to talk
about other men TO him. She needn't
let him know that she secs other boys
quite as much as she does him.
She can play a game of wits with
him, but she mustn't give up every
one else for him.
Don't despair Mari. Keep quiet
about the other men. but don't ever
give in to the unreasonable chap who
gives you all his society but holds ont
on the engagement ring.

Peggy: You did wrong talking about
religion. All tho girls ought to re
member that constantly. Stay off the
subject of his creed or belief of any
sort If you want to start another
hundred years war, the easiest and
simplest way Is to get gay about the
things he believes in most seriously.
To avoid trouble just stay off the re-
ligious subject altogether. The only
time it's necessary to discuss 1t is
when marriage is on the carpet.
If YOU were rude to Bob about his re-
ligion, you've got to cat your words
and crawl ahjcctly for days to come
before he'll forgive and forget.

They were edging up to the curb be.
fore the apartment house so Conrad
had only a moment to answer. How
ever. his reply was confident enough.
Don't worry about that. You can
learn a lot from mother. She can
make a dollar go a long way and, of
course, she'll be only too glad to help"
Jean wondered why the gladness
suddenly left her heart. Did she ac-
tually dislike Mrs. Morgan to the ex-
tent of dreading to accept help from
her? Oh, but she mustn't allow her
self to feel this way! 1t wasn't fair
to Con, and after all she was his
mother. No, she must be a sport and
accept things as they were. It
wouldn't be so bad after the period Of
adjustment was over.
Introducing Conrad to the family
swept the thought Of Mrs. Morgan out
of Jeans mind. Gorgeous to watch
Con shake hands with her father and
to see the look Of approval in Mr..
Ainsley's eyes. And Lawrence! His
usual boyish assertiveness was absent
when he met Con. He seemed actually
Shy.
Mrs. Ainsley put her hands on Cons
shoulders and looked into his eyes for
long moment. Then as though what
she saw there was acceptable to her
she smiled at him with jeans own
radiance in the expression of her face.
When Con stopped to kiss her 1t was
mothers kiss that she gave him, a
sign and seal Of approval. Very diff
ferent from the way Mrs. Morgan had
welcomed her, thought Jean. But
then, of course, she had known that
the family would like him. Her fam
lily wanted her to be happy. That was
the thing that counted with them.

''Conrad-Conrad,' her heart fairly
sang the words. And then he had
Slinlpsed her and was Fastening his
stride. The next moment he had drop
ped the suit case to sweep her into
his arms. Her cheeks were wet when
he finally released her.
"It's been an eternity" he said.
huskily, as he held her away from
him to look down into her face. Il
felt somehow as If the whole thing had
been a. dream and we weren't married
at all"
On the way up to the apartment he
told her the news of the college. They
vvere still talking about the elopement
and the fellows were all joshing Mer-
ton Thorne about losing his girl to

to wear 1t. The jumper we asso-
ciated with sports-and so far we
draw a very sharp line between eve

Now the so-called jumper evening
frocks are for tho most part one

one material with the skirt OF
another. Crepe de chine and satin

often the Jumper portion is of bro
