Paul e. Ambrose and Charles L..
WiIkerson last night at the annual
dinner given by Fred Buchholz at
the Occidental Hotel.
And while a high spirit Of good
fellowship prevailed, the assembly,
growing larger by two each year,
paused twice during the evening
to pay tribute to two departed
members, Detective Arthur B. Scriv-
ener and Gus Buchholz, last presi-
dent and honorary Vice-president OF
the organization.

For the past seven years The
Washington Times has asked a
committee composed OF leading citi-
zens and including the heads Of
the two departments to select the
two outstanding heroes of the year
Public recognition has been made
by the award Of two hero medals
The medals were won this year by
Private Ambrose, of the Police De-
partment. and Private Wilkinson,
of the Fire Department. Both men
are comparatively new on their
forces.
The public presentation of medals
was made at the Central High
School last Thursday by Commits
si0ner Proctor L. Dougherty. And
last night as the guests Of Fred
Buchholz the men got together at
dinner and related and recounted
their experiences. Added interest
was given the novel feast by the
entertainment provided by al
Schacht, of the baseball club, and
Mike Schaeffer.
During the evening Frank Neu-
man, one of the first OF the Hero
Club medal winners, presented Fred
Buchholz with an Elks pin, a token
of the esteem in which "the friend
of the police and firemen is held. =
Buchholz responded with a few
words in which he said he hoped
to be able to carry on with the
friendship he had inherited from
his father, the late Gus Buchholz.
At the conclusion of the dinner
Frank Neuman. OF the fire depart
ment, was elected president for the
coming year. Michael ]. Dowd, of
the police department was chosen
secretary and Fred Buchholz was

The World and All
COLOR
By Charles P. DriscoIl

Have you noticed how the world we live in is be-
ing made warm and cheerful with color? It is per-
haps most noticeable in home decorations and in wo-
mems clothes. But the influence OF bright color is ex-
tending everywhere.
Recently 1 have noticed brightly colored kitshen
utensils for sale in the stores. Can openers with bril-
linat blue handles. Flour sifters in six colors. Kitchen
knives and sink cleaners in robins-egg blue, coral
pink and Chinese red. / should think such utensils
would brighten a days work in the kitchen.
In Norfolk, Virginia, a progressive superintendent
Of an electric light and power plant has had the ma
chinery treated TO coats Of brilliant Lacquer. Where
once stood grim rows Of black machines there are
now bright ranks Of varicolored magical instruments.
Mr.. J. B. Hayes, who il the father Of this bit Of mod
ern factory celebration, thinks the men are happier
and more prideful in the midst Of their gay machines
than they were Of yOre.
The women certainly look prettier than they have
ever looked, and l believe the bright-colored clothes
they are wearing have a good deal to do with this de-
sirable condition Of affairs.
Those were sad days. during the great war, when
our postage stamps faded as soon as licked, and we
were an contemplating the possible fate Of a nation
that must wear fade-out clothes until the end Of the
world. Fortunately, through n combination Of cireum-
stances and events too complicated TO describe, we
have not only got back 70 fast colors but we have
more beautiful colors and combinations Of colors now
than ever before.
Even the colors in the cheeks Of the women are
more attractive than heretofore, which is saying much.
Color is used quite intelligently in interior dec
orations Of the modern home. We used to think that
solemn. dark oak or shining mahogany, with mauve
carpets and oatmeal wallpaper and white curtains,
made the only possible scenery for the interior Of a
well furnished home.
Now we find a harmonious carnival of color in
some Of the most t~astefully decorated homes. The
u-~~. lnss-t,- .fr.n - nr+cr4.r rrrv r,mLa - ff,a bn-
ginning for a comfortable interior. These old rug
makers knew colori / hope that we Americans may
rear a few generations of children who will learn in
infancy to appreciate good color combinations, indoors
and outdoors. Then we shall be on the road to artis-
tic living.

Next-"Four Little Refugees"
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1927-12-21

The shipping records OF winter vegetables and
fruit from the Lower Rio Grande Valley are an ex-
cellent index to industrial and economic conditions
prevailing throughout the United States. and serve to
prove very conclusively that the Lower Rio Grande
Valley in common with all other sections az the United
States. Il dependent upon national prosperity.
The Valley j. breaking all former records for
fruit and vegetable shipments during the month Of
December. but a comparatively small amount Of that
production is going into the markest which for years
have been consuming the bulk Of the Valleys pro-
ducts ID this time Of the year. The mine strikes IN the
Pittsburgh section have practically closed that mar
ket. which in former years consumed large quantities
of the Valley fall carrot and beet crop. Only a small
fraction of the volume Of these commodities that was
shipped into the Pittsburgh section last season j. be-
ing shipped this year. The Colorado mine strike has
also seriously affected the market for Valley products
in that section.
However, there is a growing demand for winter
vegetables in other sections, enough TO offset the loss
in the strike regions. But had there been no strike,
and industrial and economic conditions in the mining
sections remained normal, Valley beets, carrots and
several other commodities would probably have
brought a record-breaking price.
in the Pittsburgh section many Of the miners have
been on strike since early spring. They had ample
leisure TO plant and cultivate gardens, and have stored
AWAY immense quantities for winter use. Under or
binary conditions they consume large quantities of the
early fall carrots shipped from the Valley, but this
year they have their own supplies stored in their own
cellars: and furthermore, have no money with which
70 buy additional supplies.
The settlement or the strikes, and the fact that
che stored vegetables will soon begin to dsteriOrate
indicates that the demand for early spring vegetables
in that section will be normal. Had the miners been
regularly employed the demand for the fall shipments
would have been equal to or greater than any pre-
vious season.
Resumption OF operations by the Ford Motor Com
..,v will also strengthen the Valleys market IN De

also augurs that the market for spring vegetables
will be considerably stronger. The late fall, which
kept local vegetables on the market until late Novem-
Der, also seriously affected the Valleys markets.
That a coal strike in Pennsylvania affects the
price Of carrots in the Lower Rio Grande Valley OF
Texas may seem almost incredible, bEt the shipping
records Of the past two months, as compared with the
same two months in previous years, proves il to be q
fact. The law Of supply and demand is largely gov
erned by the purchasing power Of the demand. In the
mining regions. where the demand for carrots is the
heaviest, few Of the consumers have the money to buy,
and consequently the winter vegetable industry in the
Valley feels the effects.
