FfrOm BROWNSVILLE by way OF
Tampico, where the richest
oil fields in Mexico are To-
Gated.
The Atlantis coast air mail route
fro mNew Work to Atlanta and New
Orleans is expected 10 be in operation
by March 1 and extension to Browns
vile and Mexico City is hoped for in
connection with the inauguration Of
this route.
Opening Of n new air mail route
between Fort Worth and Houston
next month would form another con-
nection with the proposed Mexican
line.
That route would place the Mexican
service in connection with air ser
vices 10 Chicago through Texas, Okla
home, Kansas and Iowa and form a
connection with the rans-continental
air mail 10 and from the ] cific
coast.
The proposed New Orleans Bro ~ns-
vile route would place Mexico City
400 miles nearer New York than by
use OF the present Fort Worth-Chi-
cago route. A letter leaving New
York at Q p. m. Monday over the At
lanta-New Orleans route could he
placed in Mexico City on Wednesday
afternoon.

expected in time to give their
horses n workout Wednesday af-

The press plane, piloted by Reg

FREAK ROOSTER NOT
POPULAR WITH HENS

Now the rooster has Joined the list
of horned animals. At least one roOSt-
er has, for on an Arkansas alligator
farm In Hot Springs Is a large white
rooster with two horns sticking out
from his head, one ON each side. The
horns, which are of bone and two or
three inches long, give the rooster a
most uncanny appearance.
This freak bird, unlike his brothers,
has practically no spurs to use in his
fights. Nature, after giving him these
horns, apparently decided that spurs
were useless, and they seem to be, for
1t Is said that one look at his horns Is
enough to set the other roosters going
in the opposite direction.
With the pullets it is different
matter. They evidently prefer spurs.
So the horned rooster has his trou-
bles. The ROSTERS won't fight him, and
the pullets ignore him. All he can do
is to crow his sad tale of being differ
