Nurses Plan to
 Settle Problem
Memorial Question Coming
 Up at Convention.

Louisville. Ky, May c5 P,-The question of disposing of the 1000 collected by American nurses for . memorial to Jane A. Delano, war- time head of the American Red Cross nursing service. will be settled at the biennial convention of the American Nurses associs- tion here June 4 to 9.
 The fund was established as . memorial to the 291 American nurses who gave their lives during the World War. as we'll as to Mise Delano.
 Four major propositions have been made by different groups of nurses, as being suitable methods of using the memorial fund. One, sponsored by Miss Mabel T. Board- man, secretary of the Red Cross, plans for the construction of Jane Delano room in the new Red Cross building known as the Me morial to the Women of the World War;" now being erected.
 Miss Boardman's plan specified using sSo,000 for building the room and the remainder of the fund for furnishing it. Some members of the Jane A. Delano committee ob- jected on the grounds that the room would be buried in small portion of what was a greater memorial.
 Other proposals recommended use of the fund for building a monu. ment in the national park in Wash- ington for needy nurses or scholar. ships, or for an endowment, tho interest to be used for meeting foreign nursing appeals for tinan- cials assistance.

Remem- ber that when he came back into her life after you had gone ont of il. he was surrounded with roman tic halo-the great artist missing for fifteen ye4s-years which Gnsane over the perfidy Of the woman he had loved and married after 1il- lians departure for France, he had spent in his sisters secluded noun tain home. He appealed to all that was romantic and material in Lil- lian, and his love for her was a beautiful, overpowerine passion un- tiI it con1icted with his set, archaic ideas Of q womans place in the world. He was a Turk at heart. Iiliian's professional career, her in dependence, her social life would have ceased at her marriage.

WEATHER CHANGES
 AFFECT HEALTH
Bear Distinct Relation to Yari.
 0uS Diseases
MY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

Editor Journal of the American
 geia, the Health Magazine.
 Almost everyone is familiar with people who art human barometers By the aches and pains in their joints they can tell whether or not change in the weather is coming
 For many years the relationships of changes in the weather to dis ease have attracted the. attention of medical and other scientists. In a recent essay Sir Leonard Rogers, noted for his investigation of trop- ical disease, points out that the in- fluence of climate on the incidence of disease has not even yet attract ed the attention that it deserves.
 He has spent much of his time in India where for many years the gov ernment has kept adequate records of rain fall, humidity and tempera- ture.
 Pneumonia Rate
 He traces a definite relationship between pneumonia and climate. finding a definitely lower rate of pneumonia in the warmer areas with infrequent changes in tempera- ture. His explanation is simple.
 The poor Indian lives in a one room hut and goes out in the cold early morning to wash in the open; he allows his cotton loin cloth to dry on him. The dry ness of the atmosphere leads to rapid evaporation with great cool ing, all of the conditions being thus most favorable to producing chills.
 Most people carry with them constantly the germs of colds, of pneumonia and of influenza In their throats. The development of these diseases is favored by the lowering of the patients resist ance by chills.
 Sir Leonard Rogers points out that much the same thing happens in the dry climate of Egypt where persons driving out in the heat of the day to see the pyramids and other objects of interest are liable to get chi1ls when return ing after sunset, at the time of the rapid fall in the temperature. Under such circumstances pneu- monia is common.
 Cholera Fatalities
 In India cholera carries off an average of 315.0o0 persons a year, after an illness lasting only a few hours. Sir Leonard Rogers points out that the conditions are much more favorable in some areas for extensive cholera cpl denies than in others.
 He feels that he can forecast cholera epidemics according to previous deficient rain fall. favor able absolute humidity, and the oc- currence of large pilgrimages involv- ing the passage of huge crowds through the areas in which cholera is constantly present.
 The religious pilgrimages Of India serve to spread disease as do all large gatherings. The menace arises from the fact that the pill grims pass through areas where se- we're infectious disease is common. pick up the infection and spread it the entire country.

By BILLY HOGAN

Mt the land the new owner would take
some water and sprinkle il around
ove the land and would pull up some
grass and break some sticks anf
scatter them around over his land.
This would denote that he was now
the owner and could use the land as
he saw fit. Don Jose's record Of
title shows that he went TO his land
with the adjoining owners and the
representatives Of the government, rs
witnesses, and took actual possession
Of the land by throwing water, pull
ing grass, breaking sticks and scat
tering them to the four winds.
Don Jose died in 1909 and left a
will giving the lands which he had
bought to his eleven children but he
did not say what piece Of land each
child should have. This led TO many
quarrels among the children and
their descendants and finally IL was
necessary TO ask a court 10 divide the
hand. Some Of the children, or their
descendants, were living or part Of
the land. In 1881, a hundred years
after Don Jose bought the land, a
court in Cameron county divided the
land among the descendants of Don
jose and the men who had bought
parts of the land. When this division
was made the land was again sur
veyed and IL was found that IL ac-
tually contained five hundred and
thirty two thousand acres or sixty
thousand acres more than Don Jose
had paid for. All this land was di-
vided among the one who could show
that they owned an interest in IL.
Among those who had bought land
from some Of Don Jose's descendants
was a man named Raymond. He was
given as his share sixty eight hun
bred acres lying southeast Of where
~Raymondville is now located. He
lived on this land many years, clear
ing up a small part Of il for farming
and using the rest as pasture for his
cattle. In 1903 the railroad WIS built
through TO Brownsville and the rail-
road company established a station
near his land. As he was the nearest
settler they called the town Raymond
Vile.
This town is now the county seat
OF q new county called Willacy coun-
~. II has grown and developed
greatly in the past few years. Lo-
Gated in what Is called the dry land
farming section Of the Valley, cotton.
corn and onions grow abundantly.
The citrus industry Is fast develop
ing into a source Of revenue in this
part Of the Valley.
The town Of R~aymondville now has
paved streets. handsome school and
church buildings, and pretty court
house.
This land which at one time was
sold for almost nothing is now very
valuable and ~Raymondville a thriving
prosperous city.

The following paper was written
by Billy Hogan Of Pharr, student Of
the Pharr-San Juan school, and was
awarded third prize in the junior
section of the historical contest
conducted this year by the Valley
Federation of Women's Clubs. Ac-
curacy Of information contained in
the paper is not vouehed for by
The Herald.
About one hundred fifty years ago
there was a man living neal Reynosa,
Mexico, who was called Don Jose Ca
vazos. He was a descendant of a
Spanish soldier and as such he had
inherited many large tracts of land
near Reynosa that still belonged 70
the King Of Spain, as Mexico, at that
time, was still under the rule of
Spain. These tracts could be bought
for very small amounts so Don Jose
filed an application with the judge
Of his village asking to be allowed 70
purchase some land he had picked
out in what was called the San Juan
de Carricitos tract. This was n very
large tract of land lying along the
gulf coast northeast of Reynosa. The
Judge ordered the official surveyor
to 20 with Don Jose and measure the
land which he had picked cat. Copies
OF the records from Reynosa have
been recorded in Cameron and Hi
dslgo counties and show that in July,
1870, Don Jose and the party OF sur
yeyors went to the land to be meas
ured and started their survey on the
sixth day Of July, 1890. II took them
about a week to measure around IL
and when they had finished the sur
veyor figured that there was one
hundred and six leagues Of land or
about four hundred seventy one thou
sand five hundred and eighty two
acres. This land was considered only
fit for grazing cattle when IL was
sold TO Don Jose. The deed from the
Spanish government shows that Don
Jose paid fifty-three dollars and J
ty-two cents for this large tract OF
land.
After il had been decided to him the
governor Of the state Of New San
tander. who then ruled this part Of
the country, ordered n of his rep

place him in actual possession OF the
land which he had bought. In olden
times, when so few people could
write, land was sold in different way
from the way in which it is sold to-
day. Now, when a ma sells a piece
Of land, he signs a deed and gives
il 10 the man who is buying the snd
AT the time Don Jose bought this
land very few people could write so
the man who was selling and the man
who was buying would 20 before a
notary and describe the land and
state the price. The notary would
write Just what the two men told him
to write and would describe che land
sold and state what price was paid
for il. This ~notarial deed would then
be recorded the same as deeds are
recorded now and the notary or some
one he appointed would go TO the
land with the two men and place the
new owner in actual possession OF Il.
The way they did this was a very in
teresting procedure. Upon arriving
