My firm has been unable to get
any steamship company to talk about
doing business with only rs feet Of
water. IL we should get is feet Of
water at Point Isabel, ! don't believe
that 10 would reduce our freight
rates. II we put the locks and dams
ut Boca Chica, they could be easily
removed should II ever be deemed
necessary to dig down TO 80 feet. I
am sure that so much dirt thrown
up on the banks would hold the water
rs there are irrigation canals nearly
that height and but a few feet across
Mt the top. The engineers expect the
levees to hold on the floodway which
are 20 or Is feet high in places and
only a few feet across. The water
necessary TO fill the space above sea
level could be pumpd from the near
est point Of the river or from the
gulf.
AS far as docks and wharves are
concerned, we certainly do not need
but one warehouse to start with and
two docks, as forwarding concerns
would be glad to build all that were
required.

meetings that there is a rivers and

they sleep badly they play football badly. II they are
overturned or overstrsined their regimen is altered
They are gone over, in short, until the trouble is To-
Gated and their sleep meters show an even and regular
line on the chart.
Under circumstances OF this sort it can no longer
be said that a football team is but an isolated and
small group Of extremists in exercise seeking notoriety
for themselves or fame for the school and coach at no
permanent profit to ~anybody's physique. They become
laboratory material as truly as the frogs that the 10
ologists cut up or the cadavers that the medicos dissect
in the anatomy room. While they are learning football
the psychologists are learning psychology. And II psy-
chology proves its graphs with the pigskin, that Is
proof that isn't going to be overlooked. Not often does
science have so visible an opportunity to vindicate
itself.

Favors Building Port
AT Boca Chica Beach

To The Herald:
SO many ideas have been advanced
about a port at Point Isabel, | would
like 10 add mine.
| was in favor Of deep water at
Point Isabel, if ali of the people Of
the Valley had been willing 10 help,
but since such a large part are
against II, | am IN favor Of putting
the port at Boca Chica and have
thirty feet OF water instead or six
teen at Point Isabel. 1t will not cost
Us any more to have the thirty feet
at Boca Chica than the sixteen feet
nj Point Isabel, as we could use the
$685. 900 that we would have 70 pay
the government and the $l00, 600 esti-
mated in payment for the land at
Point Isabel for the government re-
quircments, to build the jetties. Jet
ties at Boca Chica can be built for
less money than at Point Isabel, as il
costs so much TO carry the rock
across the bay. We could dix a chan
mel 200 feet wide at the top and 100
feet nj the bottom. 16 feet deep for
approximately $4,000 per mile.
There would be in the neighborhood
Of thirteen miles from Boca Chica 70
the end Of the pavement, making a
total OF s65O,0O0.
The dirt that would be taken out
OF the channel could be placed on
each side and il would average 80 feet
wide and 16 feet high. The locks and
dams would not cost more than $780,
600. We would have 30 feet Of water
which would allow large ships TO
come in, thereby reducing our freight
rates.
If we build AZ Boca Chica, IL would
belong to us and we would charge a
small fee. thereby helping to pay for
the channel. While. If we built at
Point Isabel every body would have
as much right 70 the port as we. MS
the requirement states: 1T must be
free TO every body" We should ask
the government TO help US at Boca
Chica instead Of Point Isabel, but if
il should refuse. | would be willing
TO 70 ahead anyway. We should get
the right-of-way 1900 feet from the
pavement to Boca Chica and we could

New York Letter

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Frances
Goodrich, actress, third wife Of Hen
drick Van Loon, historian. is very
much in the public eye. Not only be-
cause her husband, who has pro-
nounced modern views on marriage,
is reported back with the second wife
in Holland and, therefore, Miss Good
rich is in the divorce news, but be-
cause she's the co-author Of two
plays to be produced. Furthermore,
she's acting in a Broadway play.
Which gives editors three reasons
for using a good looking woman's
picture.
Did you EVER 20 to a de luxe movie
in New York? The picture is the
least important thing land is, un-
fortunately. First. one stares at the
theater, with its 100000 Of deco
rations and real paintings. Then, one
tries TO pierce the dull glow to see
where the ceiling is. It's ten stories
up.
About that time the organ with
one Of the three regular ~organists
at il rises from the basement, and
the lights glow into different colors.
In a brief period, the organ sinks
and a 75-piece symphony orchestra,
with one of its three conductors,
rises from the basement majestically
and gives US "Pagliacci' and one
wonders whether he has gotten into
the Metropolitan Opera House by
mistake.
As if to correct such an impress

plays a snatch of jazz, and then-lo

The keen observer who travels through our country
cannot fail to be impressed by the restless energy or
our people. We work hard and we play hard.
We have harnessed the forces OF nature u drive
the machinery we have invented to produce and dis
tribute and consume the things we need and the things
we want We move about rapidly in fair weather ana

Therefore, i is not strange that some students Of the
subject regard the present aspect Of banking. as prac-
ticed n this country, as dynamic. Such a view is en-
trely IN harmony with the spirit Of the age.
Fifty years ago three kinds Of banking we're prae-
tieed in the United States, each one devised for a spe-
cifc purpose, and each one combining its operations 70
work for which it was created.
First, there was the bank OF circulation and di..
count otherwise known as the commercial bank. used
as an adjunct by producers and merchants to create
and distribute their commodities among the people.
Second, there was the savings bank, which afford
Cd the people an opportunity to save something out 81
their earnings and income. and thus become CAPITALISTS
Third there was the investment bank, which sun
phed capital Of new enterprises and distributed IN
come-producing investments TO those who. had b.cou.
capitalists through the saving habit.
Zach one Of these three kinds of banks dealt il .
particular kind Of credit, and very rarely one invaded
\ i'eiu 2 the o'her. There seemed to be a clear con-
eeptlon OF the function of each one Of the five nr;u,-,
divisions Of credit. ~
To-Day as the result Of our great prosperity and
the increasing complexity Of our economic and soc;a,
hie' the three foregoing classes Of banking b.vo ho.-
