Deploring fppant and jeering attitude

Attorney General Sargent in an address
here tonight before the Pennsylvania Bar
Association declared that private will

With changing economic conditions
that bring comforts and 1uxuries with
shorter hours and freedom from exertion
and WEAKNESS, the tendency he said is to
forget the serious side of the relationship
of the individual to society, and to turn
liberty under law into indulgence regard

Past Stage of Being Funny

Decision to call the commission

At this meeting Major Heusley
dropped many valuable suggestions

port here that would be large enough
to provide for all future needs Of the
biggest transportation facility Of al
modern times.
"You fellows here IN Brownsville
are in a perfect position to make the

clared.

bergh's coming this way, has clearly
demonstrated the governments belief
that through Brownsville is the

"Such a field ID would be adequate

the purchase OF at least go acres of
land and would require an outlay of
approximately $4,000 Immediately
exclusive Of the cost Of TINS land"
the officer stated.
An airport in the future will occupy
the same commercial place in the
general scheme OF things rs the
union depot now occupies, and there
is no reason why one should not

! X. B. Creager, who arrived We'd
nesday night from Washington,
stated that both the War Depart
ment and the Department Of Com
merce evinced great interest in the
proposed municipal airport at
Brownsville. He also commented up
on the rapid development Of airports
in the North and East and recon-
mended there be no delay in taking
action to secure a municipal airport
for Brownsville.
The members Of the city commits
sion and airport committee were
unanimous in expressing their APP
prevail of the project and voiced the
opinion Of Mr.. Creager that there
should be no delay.
Brownsville is the logical place
for a great international airport"
Major Hensey told the city commits
sion and airport committee. Browns
Vile has distinct advantages over
any other border city. Ii is closer
10 the dense q cas- Of population
in the East, but the main point Is
the fact that il is almost at sea-level,
assuring that planes using this route
can carry maximum loads"
Major Hensley estimated that a
plane over the Laredo-Monterrey
route could carry approximately
only SO per CEN Of the pay load
il could handle over the Brownsville
Tanpico route. due to the fact that
the latter route would be practical
~ a sea level.
The army man also pointed out
that the airport must be municipal
ly owned and controlled and that its
use must be restricted to licensed
pilots and planes which are air
worthy. Considerable revenue
would be derived from the sale Of
gasoline and other supplies and the
use Of hanger space. Many or rne
airports are now paying good divi-
dends on the investment. he stated
The facilities required NJ the air.

explainable phenomenon However,
the federal government has financed
the work. and the geological survey
Is now engaged in determining wheee
and how the water escapes.
Engineers state that the first large
disappearance is ten or twelve milths
below Eagle Pass and the next about
fifteen miles above Laredo. They
have not investigated as to where the
water 20 or what geological fault or
condition In responsible for the es-
cape Of such volume. IL has been
definitely aseertained that the loss is
80 second feet or 100000 acre feet
per year.
Seek Saving Method
A geological study Of the section
would indicate that the strata all tilt
into Mexico, the district engineer OF
the geological survey stated. This
probably diverts the water in that
direction and possibly il feeds
springs in the southern republic.
Il could 20 into deep channels and
eventually reach salt water, he said,
The inclination of the strata into
Mexico negatives the theory ad-
vanced by some that the large supply
OF water in shallow wells in the win
ter garden district below San Antonio
comes from the Rio Grande, the en-
gineer declared.
Results Of the investigation and
surveys TO be made will form the ba-
sis for plans TO save the water and
enable Valley irrigationists to water
10000 additional acres. Once the
points Of escape are located the sur
veys will indicate what ar be done
70 prevent the heavy annual loss.
One Of the principal features in
connection with this heavy seepage il
the fact that If storage dams are
erected at any point below the point
Of escape the loss would be aug
mented by the increased pressure,
and under such conditions the sup
ply of irrigation water for the lower
reaches Of the stream would be seri-
dusty curtailed.

This was revealed when the Kansas

an anonymous telephone message
from s.. Louis that the children Of

The Sc. Louis informant first ask

they were none, ne said: "Well I'll

He is scared 10 DEATH"
After refusing to reveal his iden-

DR.. Mantz then admitted r~eceiv-
ing the call and told Of his concern
for his three children. He said the

recognized his voice. DR.. Mantz said
he did not.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 22, P1-
The cotton market opened steady,
probably in sympathy with higher
Liverpool cables. Gains Of one to
nine points were registered in the
early trading with January selling
at 1910; March 1923 and May 1927.
This advance attracted renewed
pre-holiday liquidation and January
dropped to 1898; March 1912 and
May 1916, 7 to IL points down from
the highs.
When the liquidation had run its
course the market rallied and re-
covered six points of the loss.
The market fluctuated narrowly
during the morning and there was
long intervals between trades. Prize
es rallied to 1925 for March and
1880 for May, - to Ii points above
the lows, on more favorable cotton
goods and mill news.
When this demand was supplied
prices sagged again owing to lack
Of support and at noon the market
was l~istless DR. near the lows.
