Rhapsody in Blue!

She wished for masculine admira- ton. but she was homely and got none of it. She realized that she must attract some mans attention.
 With this end in view she stood waiting for a man to come up and speak to her. She was ready to give up in despair when her heart was suddenly made glad by the sound of heavy masculine footsteps behind her. She waited eagerly for him to speak.

OUR CHANGING CLIMATE

Amateur weather observers who used to claim belief that the climate is changing. it is being done by nature in such imperceptible de- grees that nobody could notice it, they were told. Being unable to stand foursquare in an argument with science they took their places at the foot Of the class
 Now it is discovered by those who spend some-pf their spare time in reading instead of cruising around in automobiles that even scientists are beginning to tell startled folks that the climate is altering. No less an authority than Charles F. Marvin. chief of the L. 8. weather bureau in Washington. is among those who point out that changes have taken place.
 Spring weather. particularly dur Ing the last five or six years" he says has been cooler. And there are charts. graphs. reports and maps to prove it. Furthermore. winters have been generally milder and have been later in their arrival. How long this may keep up is problematical. There is no actual way of telling, unless one wishes to resort to guesswork. And that is not done in government circles"
 Another scientific bon mot is more cheerless This is one to the effect that in 10000 years there will be another ice age on the American continent. Putting two and two to- gether," one might come to the con- clusion that the slight changes in climate already noted by the wealth CT bureau may be an indication that this ice age is already en route.
 Walter Prichard Eaton. writing in the Boston Herald, reminded his readers that at no time is the ice age fearfully distant. He held that only slight drop in temperature in the temperate zones would complete ly alter living conditions. A drop of two degrees in the mean temperature in southern California would elim- inate the orange crop. already but. tressed by thousands of smudse pots; a drop of two degrees in the mean temperature of Massachusett! would annihilate the peach crop O Massachusetts. Lasting any consid erable length of time, such a drop il the mean temperature. if it spread tt the north of New England also would bring back the ice cap.
 How easy this change takes plac' is indicated by the following fact b. Mir. Eaton:

AS TO CHEMISTS

AS TO CHEMISTS |. By Roland Baillie The chemist is a person
 Who speaks in weighty terms He puts the Cossack curse on Bacteria and germs. In mystic laboratories,
 With tubes. retorts, and sinks, He wins undying glories By making stunning stinks. Some newly figured datum
 He used to disclose The secrets of the atom,
 The ways of cellulose. He can make soup from syrup, Perfume from mutton fat; His jobs to sit and stir up
 Synthetic this nd that. When he. in finest frenzy,
 Makes something sour and green He calls it Parabenzy- disulphoethylene. Of chemistry my knowledge
 h but a hollow shell: l took the course at college.

SOMETHING WORTH TELLlNC'

SOMETHING WORTH TELLING!
 By Harry Leary
 He was pleased with her beauty and her gracefulness, and he exert ed himself to please her.
 He was versatile of mind and tongue, and he talked to her of the symbolism Of 1bsen and the oymbal- ism of Paul Whiteman; of the maj esty of Milton and of the mush of Edgar Guest: of the sagacity of Shakespeare and of the droolings of The Strange Interlude"; of the mu- sic of Schumann and of the things which bear the name of Irving Der lin: of Raphaers grandiosities in the Vatican and of the futurists' curi- osities in the present: of Rodins' marble rega1ities and of the cuteness of the Kewpies: of dramatists. such as Shaw and Gal5Worthy. and of the Americans. such as Thomas and Anne Nichols; of the patriotism of Lincoln and of the cohanism of men who doff their hats at the national colors on barber poles; of Nature and of the people who say, ''Ain't Nature wonderful" And he bored her. She showed no interest whatever. Contrarily. she displayed a desire for a change.
 And finally She yawncd And she didn't try to hide it. Then he realized that she cared for neither one nor the other of the many extremes he had brought forth for her.
 He was bewildered. She smiled. exhibiting white. but sharp teeth
 And now" she said, frankly. cruelty. you must tell me something ! teresting-somethins really worth telling and re-telling." ' And what shall it be-" he asked, still anxious 10 please her. Som ething you promised on your honor not to tell." she answered.

Matamoros Church
Taken Over Monday
By Father Garcia

Following the settlement Of the
Mexican church question in recent
conferences between Catholic Off
Gals and President Emilio Portes
Gil, the MatamoroS parish will be
taken over at II a. m. Monday by
Father Antonio Garcia y Garcia.
The first mass probably will be
held Tuesday.
Father Garcia y Garcia had
charge of the Matamoros parish
before the split between the church
and state. Since that time he has
been connected with the church OF
Our Lady Guadalupe in Victoria
Heights, Brownsville.
Bishop Amora of the Diocese of
Tamaulipas is expected in Mata-
moros within the next few days and
old members of the parish are pre-
pairing to give him a public recep-
ton on his arrival.
Father Montoya, who was con-
nected with the Matamoros parish
and who has been in the Browns
vile Catholic system since, has
been assigned to a parish in south
ern Tamaulipas.

Find Benefact-ess
A few weeks ago, two California
attorneys, accompanied by George
Hopkins, an uncle, and the only
kinsman who knew the whereabouts
of Mrs. Ward, plodded across corn
and cotton rows Of a 40-acre field
to find the woman and inform her
of her inheritance. They found her,
bareheaded and barefooted, vigor-
ously hoeing the grass from a row
of cotton, her lanky husband SINH
larly engaged a little farther down
the field.
While she gaped in establishment
at the appearance Of the we'll
dressed visitors in the field, the law
yers established her identity through
Hopkins and extracted a very legal
looking document from a bulky
briefcase. Turning hurriedly through
the pages, they found the paragraph

FARM BODY TO
HOLD MEETING
Hoover to Attend First Ses-
sion of Board And Make
Brief Address

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-PH
Except for one member the farm
board will hold it's first meeting
Monday at the White House. Pres
ident Hoover will attend and start
n new agency on its way with a
short address-entruSting to it the
task of leading farming from de-
preston that for years has held it.
Mr.. Hoover considers the board
the most important body ever eS-
tabliShed to assist an American in
duStry. He has given care to selec-
ton of its members, has scanned
long lists of recommended appoin-
tees and consulted the wishes Of
farming organizations representing
every section of the country.
He has, however, found it impos-
sible to make his selections with a
view to the geographical distribu-
ton Of the boards members be-
cause the new farm relief law re-
quires that each of the major
branches of agriculture shall be rep
resented. He draws satisfaction
from the fact that all the appointees
we're born and reared on farms and
that all but one, the representative
of business and finance, have been
actively engaged in farming for
many years.
AS it will meet on Monday, the
board will be composed of AleXan-
der H. Legge. Of Chicago, chairman,
representing general business; James
G.. Stone, of Lexington, KY, vice
chairman, tobacco; Carl Williams.
of Oklahoma City, cotton; G. B
Denman. of Pennington, Mo-, live
stock; Charles L. league. of Los
Angeles, fruit growing; William F.
Schilling, Of Mortified, Mimi.
dairying; Charles S. Wilson, of
Anil, N. Y. miscellaneous agricul-
tural interests Of the northeast,
and Secretary Hyde, who holds
membership by virtue of his posi-
ton as head of the agriculture de-
partment.
Although facing as its most men,
tous task a crisis in the wheat mar
keting situation, the board will be
without a representative of that
phase of farming at the first ses-
sion. The president expects to an
nounce the appointment Of a wheat
spokesman within a few days there
after, however. He has been having
considerable difficulty in the selec-
ton of a grain man, due, it Is said,
to a differenence of opinion among
the farmers organizations, as we'll

appointee be qualified in every way

Passport Rule Still
Uncertain as LaW Is
Varied at Locations

citizens were being warned to Sc
cure courtesy cards not later than
July Is. Many visitors were being
turned back, officials reported.
But at Brownsville about the
same procedure was being followed
with fewer being refused admission.
Some visitors we're being turned
back here.
At Rio RIGA the most novel in
depreciation of the regulations was
reported. There the bridge is kept
closed each day by the Mexican Of
ficials until noon. Opening at noon
it remains open until 3 p. m, when
it is again closed, after all Ameri-
a visitors have been warned to
return home. The bridge is opened
again at 6 p. m. and remains open
until midnight. No passports arc
required, but the regulations will
be put in force on July Is, officials
annouce.
Up at Roma there has been no
change in the regulations but Mexi-
can officials are warning visitors
that passports will be required aft
e. August l..
The only modification secured
during the week, so far as could
be learned here, was at Laredo.
There chamber of commerce Off
Gals we're informed in a telegram
from Mexico City that residents of
Laredo would be required to have
courtesy cards after July IS, but
that the chamber of commerce
would be permitted to issue identi-
fication cards to tourists and this
would be the only requirement to
be met by visitors. A similar ruling
was expected here, but had not ar
rived late Saturday.
The Laredo Chamber of Com
merce announced this arrangement
Is satisfactory and is urging all La
redo citizens to secure courtesy
cards as quickly as possible.

While city and chamber of COM
merca officials along both sides Of
the Rio Grande prepared protests
Of the new Mexican immigration
regulations and prepared to launch
a campaign to secure a modifica-
ton of the rulings, citizens along
the America side were rapidly Sc
curing courtesy cards, according to
reports.
Business had almost come to a
standstill at Matamoros and Rey-
noSa as a result of the rulings and
protests had been sent to officers
in Mexico City during the week by
numerous organizations. Bridges
reported traffic greatly reduced ex-
cept at Roma, where there has
been no change in the restrictions.
Judge A. A. Browne, who is issu-
ing certificates of citizenship to
Brownsville residents with which to
secure courtesy cards, reported
about 1900 persons had secured the
necessary papers Saturday after
noon and a brisk business was re-
ported at Mercedes and McAllen.
Judge Browne urged that all
those who intended to secure the
courtesy cards do SO as rapidly as
possible. He pointed out that the
Mexican officials had declared no
more such permits would be issued
after July Is and that after that
date citizens of Brownsville not
holdig cards would be classed as
tourists and required to obtain a
consular passport for each visit to
Matamoros. There is no charge for
the certificate issued by Judge
Browne, but Mexican officials are
making a charge of peso for
the courtesy card. 1t is necessary
to secure two small passport photo
graphs before the courtesy card
will be issued by the Mexican Off
Gals. Judge Browne is at his Of
flee in the police station from 9 a..
n. to IL m. and from 2 to 5 daily.
Tourists, which includes anyone
living in a town where there is no
port Of entry, will be required to
secure consular passports for each
visit and a charge of one peso will
be made by the consul. Two pesos
will be charged for all permits is
sued after office hours or on holi-
days and Sundays.
The Matamoros Retail Merchants
association sent an official protest
to Mexican immigration chiefs in
Mexico City during the week and
Pedro A. Chapa had been there
during the week interviewing Off
Gals concerning modification of the
regulations. No word had been re-
ceived from him late Saturday.

Meanwhile the lack of uniformity

tons continued.
The most strict enforcement was
reported at Reynosa, where tourists
were being denied admission to

sular passports from the Mexican
