MISTAKE seen
IN OPERATION
OF AIR MAIL
U. S. Suffers Revenue Loss
by Giving Up Control,
Congressman Says.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Con-
greSS made a serious and costly
mistake in turning operation of the
airmail over to private contractors,
in the opinion of Representative
John G. Speaks Of Ohio.
Speaks said that not only is the
government losing millions of dol
lars in revenue in not operating the
airmail system, but that develop
ment of commercial aviation is not
nearly as rapid or as expensive as
it would be if the government still
held control. He said steps should
be taken again to gain control OF
the lines.
Government control and opera
ton of the airmal was making
splendid progress at the time the
business was turned over to private
operation and real source of reve-
nue. thus taken away from all the
taxpayers, who must continue to dig
down, however, to keep up nonpay-
ing branches of the mail SYSTEM"
Speaks said
So extensive has the use of air
mail become that one pound out of
every sixty handled now is carried
by airplanes. Last week Repre-
sentative Clyde Kelly of Pennsyl-
vania predicted that within a few
years one pound out of every ten
of letter mail would be carried by
airmail and that $60,000,00O would
be expended annually for postage
on this class of mail.

FOUNTAIN OF
YOUTH; POT OF
ONION BROTH
Celery Patch, Not Monkey
Jungle, Urged to Fight
Off Old Age.
BY GEORGE KENT
United Press staff Correspondent

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE path to the
fountain of youth winds through
the onion and celery patch and not
through the monkey jungle.
The legendary fountain is the
bubbling pot of vegetable broth, &C
cording to DR.. Benjamin G. Hauser,
Viennese physician, with a knifelesS
rejuvenation creed.
"Glandular operations" said DR..
Hauser, "are no longer effective at
ter two or three years. The pa
tents then relapse. Their state OF
health is what it was before. and
frequently is worse"
DR.. Hauser explained that by his
method old age could be eliminated,
and life prolonged.
Eat Onions and Celery
"Old age is purely conventional"
said the physician. "We have come
to believe that it is necessary for
men and women to grow old, &C
quire wrinkles, gray hair and tooth
less gums. We have not yet dis
covered how to make life everlast-
ing, but we can make life vigorous
and effervescent until the end. The
way to do it is with food, specifl-
cally food taken according to the
chemical requirements of the indi-
yidual."
The body, according to the phySi-
clan, is made up of seventeen chem
icals, which it receives from the
different food substances it absorbs.
Onions, for example, are rich in
PHOSPHORUS and sulphur. Celery
likewise. Anything with a sharp
flavor has sulphur, such vegetables
as carrots, turnipS, cabbages and
kohl. Milk is rich in calcium,
which is the bone building chemi-
cal.
Few Potatoes for Hoover
individuals fall naturally into
chemical classes" continued Hauser.
Henry Ford for example, is a pure
PHOSPHORUS type, the man with the
high broad forehead, slender and
nervous, with quick and inven-
tive mentality. Lincoln, the raw
boned, slow-moving individual, lei
surely in making decisions, but i'm
movable once they are made, was
the calcium type. Hoover is the
vital type. The source of his energy
is the vital organs, and it is these
he must watch. Not too many po-
tatoeS for Hoover.
"The Ford type should take plenty
of PHOSPHORUS. Onions, celery, etc.,
should form the staples of his diet.
He must keep the directive agents
of his organism supplied with the
chemicals they need"

CARRANzAIS
IN HOMELAND
Body Delivered Over

On Last Trip

LAREDO, Tex, July 21.-(P)-The
body Of Captain Emilio CarranZa,
Mexican ace, was given into the keep
ing of his own people at $3.50 this
morning on the international bridge
here.
The ceremony at the international
bridge marked the end of one of the
most magnificent demonstrations Of
sympathy and grief this country has
ever made for the body of a noted
foreigner.
Captain CarranZa crashed in New
jersey a week ago while returning 10
Mexico after paying this county a
good will visit.
From the time Captain Carranza' ;
body was found by berry pickers until
the climax at the bridge here today
the military forces OF the nation
have extended themselves to honor
him. The long trip by train from
New Jersey was accompanied q large
part of the way by aerial escorts
from various fields along the route.
Many of the planes dropped flowers
on the train. At San Antonio yester-
day the second army division and a
squadron of 100 army planes hon.
ored the cortege.
Both sides OF the river were lined
solidly with spectators today as the
guard of honor which accompanied
the body from Washington, re-
enforced by the eighth engineers
from Fort Mcintosh followed the
gun carriage upon which the body
rested to the center of the interna-
tional bridge. Here, while approxi-
mately seventy army airplanes circled
above the river and dropped flowers,
taps was sounded.
The Mexican troops advanced from
the south end of the bridge and the
soldiers Of the two nations met as
the casket was removed 20 a caisson
brought by the Mexican soldiers. The
two bodies Of troops then marched
together to the railway depot in
Nuevo Laredo on the Mexican side
where the casket was placed on the
coach that will take il 10 Mexico City.

PARNELL RAPS
Dem BOILERS
Claims Anti Smith Ell
ement Ragged End
Of the Klan'

The anti-Smith bolters Of Texas
are merely the ragged end of the ku
klux klan." was the assertion of
State Senator j. d. Parnell Of Wichita
Falls. candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, who made a brief address at
FL Jardin Friday night preceding the
Yates Hardin debate.
Senator Parnell closed his speak
ing tour Of the Valley with addresses
at FL Jardin and Santa Rosa. he
spoke at Mercedes. Mission and Nc
Allen Thursday. and San Benito and
Harlingen Friday, leaving for central
Texas Saturday morning. In all his
Valley addresses he announced his
allegiance TO the democratic platform
and nominees. declaring that when
cannot be loyal TO the party ] will
ask the state committee to scratch
my name from the ballot"
He characterized Thomas B. Love
as A "bolter," and charged that the
anti-prohibition issue was raised
as a camouflage for catholicism.
II am not defending the Catholic
church" he said: 81 am defending
the constitutional right Of every
American to worship God as his con-
science dictates" He added that he
is a Protestant. n deacon in the
church. and a firm believer in pro-
hibition. which he declared would
be ably enforced If Smith rs elected
President.
The speaker charged that >Secre-
tary Mellon, "the man who nominated
Hoover" is interested in Canadian
distilleries; that the basis for the
Mellon fortune was established by
the distilling industry. and that the
Canadian distillers are supporting
Hoover because they know the pro-
hibition law will continue unenforced
under a republican regime"
Senator Parnell declared his plat
form consisted Of two words" Less
Laws" "The country is being legis
lated and regulated 10 the point
where radical reaction Is inevitable
unless we call a halt" he declared.
We have more than enough laws on
the statute books. II is the duty Of
the legislature to repeal those that
are not enforced and enforce those
that can be enforced"
Senator Parnell took an active lead
ership in the senate in connection
with tax remission for the Cameron
and Hidalgo flood control system,
stating that when he now viewed the
Valley and the development that has
been attained. he felt fully justified
in the stand he took when state tax
remission was the principal issue be-
fore the legislature. "It has proved
a splendid business investment for
the state" he declared.
