enforcement of the national prohi-

with the rapidly increasing illicit

Government officials admit that
they have reached the peak of en-

statement of DR.. James Doran.

will take S300,00O,0OO and a system
of United States courts covering the
land to enforce the VolStead act.
Breakdown Confessed
"Doran really is confesslng a COM

ment," Gebhart said.
Dorans suggestions of a treaty
with Canada to dam the flow of
liquor from that country and tighter
state enforcement with large appro-
priations of money from the forty

Gebhart as subterfuges to get the
states to bear the cost of making
the country dry.
IF the states are asked to CO.
operate in prohibition enforcement,
they have a right to say what form
of liquor control shall be left in
their hands" Gebhart said.

Immigrant Boy MendS SOIeS to Get

Greek Youth Paying Way
Through University at
His Last.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 27-From
member of soles to a member of
bodies was the dream of pen
niless immigrant boy years ago.
And the dream is coming true to-
day, for Nicholas Pads is building
business and professional career
at the same time, and making one
pay for the other.
A second-year student at the Bos-
ton university medical school, he
also supports himself and a family
of four by working long hours in
his little shoe repair shop.
Born in Asia Minor
Born in a Greek city in Asia
Minor, Nicholas arrived in this
country at the age of IA, with
nothing but ambition, all his money
having been used up to pay his
steerage passage. Life never had
treated him kindly.
MY father" he explained, lost
his business when I was a child,
and we we're expelled from Asia
Minor by the Turks. We strug-
gled back toward the homeland,
getting no further than Mytalene,
ancient Lesbos, famous as the home
of Sappho. Here got work in an
apothecary shop owned by the only
doctor of the island. He fired my
ambition to follow in his profession,
and America seemed to me the
place where my ambitions could be
realized.
Borrowed to Reach u. S.
TN 1915 left my refugee home,
borrowed the money to come to
America, ard made my way to Lynn,
Mass, where I worked for half
year in a shoe factory for 81 a
week. Not used to long hours and
heavy machines, 1 became i'll and
landed in hospital, where 1 spent
what little had accumulated get
ting back my health"
Penniless and homesick, the boy
wandered into Boston, too proud to
beg, too weak to work, and too dis
couraged to care whether he lived
or died. Finally he found a job
washing dishes in a hotel. This
provided food, and he regained his
health.
-Four years after his arrival here
he had saved some money, and
borrowed enough more to bring his
people to America This made him
the guardian of father and mother
and two young sisterS-and again
he was without funds.
Earns His Education
81 had lots of nerve, at least"
Pads laughed, "for in the face of
a huge debt already owed, I Dor
roWed 81 500 more, at high rate
of interest, and set myself up in
shoe repair shop. In three years I
paid all my debts and was able to
send my sisters to school and my
self to Boston university.
my former creditors declared me
a born business man and offered to
loan me more money for chain

cause my ambition to be a doctor
was too strong to make me regard
the shoe business as anything more
than a means to an end
II wanted to restore human be-
ings, not shoes. And when I get
through medical school I shall say
good-by to my old benefactor, the
work bench, though I shall never
cease to be grateful to it."

HOURLY REPORT

AIRMAN'S NEED
Special Service Is Found

By Science Service
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Hourly re-
ports of weather along the Always
are one of the needs of civil aero
nautics. In this way the pilots may
be informed Immediately of any
changes in weather conditions, Will
lis R. Gregg of the United States
= weather bureau, told members of
the American Meteorological society
here this morning.
Established Always now cover
some $4,000 miles, with about half
this distance lighted for night fly
ing. Special weather service has
been organized on all these anyways.
This service includes upper air re-
ports from about fifty stations, at
which pilot balloons are used in
measuring upper winds, and reports
of surface weather conditions from
about $50 stations, located at critical
points on the anyways themselves.
In general the reports are timed
to fit the flight schedules, although
there now are in operation two ex-
perimental ServiceS-San. Francisco
to Los Angeles and New York to
Cleveland-in which reports are
furnished at frequent, regular in
tervals, both day and night Thus
all flying on those anyways is served,
whether on regular schedule OF not.
Extensive Service Given
1.-THE reports contain information
concerning those weather elements
that are of most concern to pilots,
particularly visibility, ceiling CheIght

These reports are supplemented by
short-range forecasts for the next

AS for future prospects, the plans
that are being worked out for adop-
ton as rapidly as facilities permit
include the following main features:
Extension of the ice-daily pro-
gram of countrywide reports to
four-times-a-day program, thus
making available general forecasts
and bulletins at intervals of six
hours, as at present.
"a supplementary system of
three-hourly reports from small
areas, secondary nets along the
several airwayS. Receipt Of these
by trained meteorologists at airport
stations will make possible the safe
guarding of flierS from disturbances
that develop some distance off the
airways and approach them from
one side or the other.
Informed On Changes
Hourly reports from numerous
points on the anyways themselves.
These will keep the meteorologiStS
and others constantly informed as
TO changes that may be occurring
along the line of fight.
"a prompt and dependable system
of communications is the backbone
of the service. At present the
teletype, or typewriter printer, is
being considered favorably for the
hourly reports. Probably the teIe-
graph and telephone will answer for
the less frequent reports. Radio
must be included for communica-
tics between ground and plane and
will supplement the others when
they are out of commission

Gives Injunction

filed by Jesse bennett, A. d. Dick
inson and Nellie Esperson Stewart,
the latter being the owner of a large
acreage between FL Jardin and the
coast.
The injunction does not in any way
interfere with contracts awarded un-
der the 100000 Of bonds already
sold and will not affect the awarding
Of contracts in the other three COM
missioner precincts Of the county.
The application for an iniuntion
states TO the effect that the Boca
Chica highway was included in the
first group designated for improve
ment, and that only seven miles OF
the highway has been paved. The ap-
plicants take the view that the funds
used for paving the Paredes Line
road should have been devoted to the
Boca Chica road under the terms Of
the resolution. The applicants point
out that the resolution adopted by
the commissioners court on January
"a. 1927. contained the following:
"Group l-(a) From the city limits
Of Brownsville on Palm Boulevard
and Fourteenth streets, respectively,
to Boca Chica along the general line
Of FL Jardin Boulevard and the loca-
tion for said Brownsville Boca Chica
road as heretofore made by the
county engineer. (b) From Browns
vile to Point Isabel by shorest
practicable connection from Browns
Vile, Boca Chica road, when COM
pleted."
Contract for the paving OF FL Jar
din Boulevard, which is part of the
Boca Chica road, was awarded in
June, and the paving opened in No
vember. Contract for dirt work and
structures on the remaining is miles
Of the Boca Chica highway was
awarded in September, and the work
ID approximately 80 per cent COM
pleted. according to reports Of the
engineer.
Paving on the Boca Chica road
could not start under 10 months at
the earliest, County Engineer W. o.
Washington stated Saturday morning,
While no official action has been
taken by the commissioners court, il
has been indicated that the border
highway from Brownsville to the
cast line Of the San Benito precinct
distance of 9 miles, would be the
next designated for paving. However,

permanent, contract on the border
highway must await definite action
