I'm OUR
VALLEY

POINT ISABEL, which has been
receiving its fresh water supply from
cisterns and from Brownsville, is
soon to receive its water supply from
n pipeline Of its own.
The Port Isabel Townsite & De-
velopment Company is preparing to
run a water line to the Rio Grande.
about nine miles from Point Isabel.
II will draw water from the river
to the townsite.
Then it will be placed in reser-
voirs, built on the highest part of
the town.
After which Point Isabel will revel
in fresh water as well as in salt.
And all Of which is merely part
of the general activity that is going
on these days at the coast town.

Z, A CARD FROM Mrs. Emil Blanck.
Tho is spending the summer up at
Fee old home in Billings, Okla:
" Having lots of rain and hail
7sorms in this section Of Oklahoma
f"e carried two watermelons on the
eanningboard of our car. to Okla
-oma. given to us by a neighbor in
Jardin. They did more advertis-
-ig for the Valley than all the lit
rature we could have hauled"
: II is easy to conceive that a couple
" watermelons on the runningboard
{ car travelling through North
Texas and Oklahoma at this time of
the year will arouse great deal Of
curiosity as to their origin.
Up there they get their water
melons late in August and in Sep
tember.
Here is suggestion for the VAL
ley commercial secretaries. although
the season may be too far advanced
this year:
Have every auto tourist that leaves
the Valley put couple OF melons
on his car. The farther he goes, the
getter the advertising.
"JUST TO KEEP the records
straight" says George Toolan. Har-
lingen, in note to The Herald:
'News item from Mercedes the other
day in The Herald commenting on
their insurance key rate credit stated
their rate was now 10 cents. the
lowest of any Valley city with the
exception of Brownsville and Mis-
sion.' Doubtless an oversight. Failed
to include Harlingen. with key
rate of a. cents. Further improve
ments under way will further re-
duce this to 80 cents. but right now it
is 43 cents. aud that's worth shout
ing little about"
There is. Of course. an absolute
minimum in the key rate, but
Brownsville enjoys key rate credit
of % cents in recognition Of its good
fire record. And with three new fire
stations soon to go up. there will
likely be a slight further reduction.
Reasonable insurance rates, reason
able taxes, looms largely in the To-
eating Of new enterprises.
Keep 'em all down.

The usual springtime supply Of

Also. drouthy conditions out in

May II P(-An exam ination of more than 5000 flights of historic importance made since October 19, 1901. when the French aviator, Alberto Santos Dumont, piloted dirigible from St. Cloudy to and around the Eitfel Tower and back, shows that Nungesser and Coli have had to face the worst at mospheric conditions recorded in the annals of acronautic history. the trans Atlantic flight committee of the Aerial League of America re- ported today.
 Even the Arctic has been more friendly to the airmen who ventured the forbidding frozen wastes than the Atlantic has been to Nungesser and Coli on this occasion" the com mittee's report stated.

New Haven Court Seeks Facts on
 Accused Youth

New Haven, May II R}-The hand of the court today stretched out to find Howard L. Phillips, 26, of Philadelphia who in February was arrested on four charges of theft and given permission to go 10 New York city for mental treatment. to ascertain his present mode of life.
 The Phillips case was called up before Judge F. r. Farley today on question of final disposition. The court said it had letters from New York to the effect that Phillips was enjoying night life" in that city and was behaving in a manner that left little time for him to undergo treatment for mental trouble.
 Phillips was regarded as one of ment of drama at Yale university. He was arrested on charges of theft from college dormitories. In court a plea was made for him to the effect that "overstudy' had affected him mentally. It was because of the plea that Judge Farley continued the case eight times on representa- tions that Phillips was under treat ment.
 To counsel today Judge Farley said that Phillips, he had been in formed. was frequently seen with chorus women." He ordered a re- port on Phillips activities since February 16 and set May S1 as the date for the report which will be made by the assistant prosecutor.

French All Mourning

Paris, May Il Rl-The mystery surrounding the fate of Captains Nungesser and Coil in their trans Atlantic flight and of Captain Saint Roman and his flight companion. Commander Mouneyres, is binding all Frenchmen in a common bond of anxiety. As for Nungesser and Coli the anxiety Is tempered by a strong hope that news of their safety will be forthcoming, but the general opinion here today was that there was little justification for op- timism in the case of Saint Roman and Mouneyres, of whom nothing has been heard since they left the coast of West Africa last Thursday in an attempt to fly across the Southern Atlantic to Brazil.
 Bitterness Subsidies
 While resentment against the false news of the arrival in Amer ica of Nungesser and Coli still lin- gered today, the bitterness toward the United States which appeared to be attributable to reports that the United States weather bureau with held forecasts, was gradually sub siding In view of despatches describ- ing the whole hearted unstinted comprehensive efforts by the Amer ican authorities in seeking the miss ing fliers. Moreover, the French weather bureau has publicly de- elared the American weather re- porta were sent by wireless: if they failed to arrive for two days, it was due to atmospheric disturbances. not to any omission by the United States weather bureau.
 Reasons for Hope
 When they left Sunday morning they had compressed food. sufficient for quite long time if husbanded. They also had a small stove and apparatus to distill sea water. Coli put in & set of fishing lines to be used in case of emergency.
 Experts emphasize. however. that they cannot control the machine. but must drift wherever wind and waves take them. The plane. being small object and low in the water, would be difficult to see in the day. time. Its equipment included a stock of flares and red rockets with which to make the fliers' presence more easily known to passing ships at night.
 Hope Not Abandoned The French are trying to keep up their courage, but many published declarations that hope has not been abandoned are tinged with sadness indicating the fliers are really mourned as lost.
 There was momentary flare of hope this morning when a report of undetermined origin spread rapidly to the effect that Nungesser and Coli had been found in Canada. This was quickly discredited by cables from New York.
 France Is showing an anxiety
New Britain herald., 1927-05-11

probably never exceeded in p>aco times. "Ansuish" is the word used most frequently by public men. the newspapers and the people in con- versation.
 The bitterness of the man in the street which in some cases took the form of anti-American sentiment, subsided over night. The newspa- pers today. notably the Paris Midi. adopt more gracious tone toward the United States. recognising Americas aid in searching for the aviators and her universal sympathy.
 Perhaps it is time to examine our conscience" says the Midi. We have not always been very fair to the sporting achievements of our neighbors. We have not always given them the prominence their importance justified"
 If in a few days" 1t concludes, "Bertaud and Chamberlain land in the Seine, Paris welcome must be worthy of that which New York PAS PbA GU A0k VoL dNAdtOAo. A1lu IT. God forbid - the American pilots are lost on the treacherous sea. then French destroyers must 5e ready im- mediately to rush forth in desperate search"
 While no one will admit that hope is lost. there are many pessimistic opinions. Experts agree that the White Bird might fare badly if forced down early. before the tre- mendous load was lightened by the consumption Of gasoline. It is con- sidered that the plane would have channel or off Ireland. The experts say it would be impossible in that case to empty the tanks quickly enough with the small pump to make them buoyant. If, however, the plane was forced down halfway across the Atlantic the consumption of fuel would have partly emptied the tanks and kept the machine ahoat
 Pierre Levasseur. builder of the White Bird. says he advised the avi- ators to jump with their parachutes if the plane was likely to descend nose-flrst, as it might burst into flames.
 The greatest hope is that some of the early reports of the sighting of the plane off Newfoundland may have been correct and that 1t is still floating on the Atlantic, awaiting rescue, or that 1t has como down at some remote spot along the coast
