"TUE OLD HOMESTEAD"

Across the stage of our nation, in
these days when play and story bor-
der very closely upon the vicious,
there floats now and then beauti-
full interlude when the honey things
of life, the fireside. the family. are
shown In all their quaint simplicity.
Foremost in this class is Denman
Thompson's THE Old Homestead
which will be shown for three days
beginning today on the stage at the
Strand theater with other acts and
feature photoplays.
1t is pleasant to contemplate the
coming of this old friend of ours.
Our granddaddies thrilled to it in
the days of their youth. Our faith
ers enjoyed it in theirs. And we. of
the present. have never failed to re-
spond to the same emotions as those
who have gone before lis.
Denman Thompson, author and
chief character. placed the play be-
fore the public in Boston, April 5,
1856. Since then it has crept into the
hearts of countless Americans.
No drama has lived unless it was
clean and wholesome. THE Old
Homestead" with forty years of
Americas praise and love behind it,
comes back in the same old way,

No Excess Equipment
In making preparations for the
hop to the Azores, De Pinedo jetti-
soned his radio and other excess
equipment, devoting all available
surplus weight power to fuel, spare
parts and other things generally re-
garded as necessary to the necessity

De pinedo is the second trans
Atlantic flyer to pass out from New
foundland to the north Atlantic in
less than a week. Captain Charles
A. Lindbergh, successful new York
Paris nonstop aviator. sailed over
st. Johns Friday before heading for
the coast of Ireland.
This little place itself however,
is no stranger TO long distance avia-
ton since it was from here that the
Z. s. naval seaplane NC-4 made the
first dash across the Atlantic in his
tory.
That was in May. 1919. Like the
De Pinedo fight. that attempt car
ried the United States naval officers
first to Azores and then to Portu-
gal.
aLte reports received from the
Azores last night indicated that the
heavy gale which earlier had forced
DePinedo to postpone the flight had
died down and favorable weather
now prevailed. The sea was also
reported quieter but as a matter of
added precaution a boat will be held
in readiness by authorities at Flores

On December 2 the Valley port COMMITTEES. consist
Ing Of representative residents Of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley who have taken q leading part in the
Valleys effort to secure deep water AZ Point Isabel.
will appear before the Board Of Army Engineers in
Washington with the request that the government IN

channel Is due 70 no fault Of the Valley interests.
Another object Of the COMMITTEES is to endeayor to

TO visit the Valley before taking definite action o.
The Valleys proposal that a s0-foot harbor be con-
atructed AZ Point Isabel. arguments and figures, no

Al tonnage producing area Ia the world.
The Valley will await the decision OF the board
with considerable interest. Valley people realize that
the future development Of this section depends to a
great extent upon the action Of that board; and
throughout the entire Valley there Is a sincere hope
that the effort TO secure federal aid In the ~construc-

Relative to the completion or the inner channel to

the governments demands were submitted several
years ego, Valley people, with great sacrifices, raised

that the government was unable to complete the har-
Dor at that time; but the Valley is not responsible.
Throughout the Valley the l6-foOt channel is re-
gnrded merely ~ the initial step in the construction OF
a 30-foot harbor. IL Is true the 16-foot harbor will
prove very valuable; but a so-foot harbor is essential
