TRIP ABROAD

OFFICE RUSH
Gales Is Pressed To
Take Treasury
Office

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 29-tP--
Dispatches from Nogales, ArIz., ~
the effect that the tentative cab
met OF President-elect Pascual Or
tiz Rubio Is practically completed
and viii include two former chief
executives, tire regarded here in
best informed circles as entirely
premature.
It Is believed here the President
elect thus far has not gone deeply
into the consideration OF his cab
met and will make no effort even
TO select a tentative slate until his
forthcoming visit Co the United
States IS completed.
DOdging Office Seekers
I'm going abroad shortly after

the precedent OF President Hoover.
especially since he desires 70 escape
the turmoil OF office seekers for a
time 10 enjoy "a thorough rest from
the arduouS task OF six months
campaigning.
AS soon as the electoral machin-
cry has officially pronounced him
president, Ortiz Rubio plans 70
leave with a few friends for Roch-
ester, MINI, where he will enter
the Mayo Brothers clinic for a
thorough rest. Close friends point
out the preSident-elect lis suffering
from no malady but he needs
simple thorough rest.
Later. Az is believed. he will Eo
to New York where he may confer
with former President Gales on hts
return from Europe, after which
he will pay his respects t0 WASH
ington and President Hoover and
return TO Mexico. or 20 to the West
coast, for q short vacation.
Gales Aid Sought
That Gales will accept cabinet
post As regarded as entirely i'm
probable, one high authority giving
it aS his opinion the chances are
a thousand TO one that Gales will
do SO. It appears almost certain
here that General Gales will fol-
low his announced plan ON his re-
W ktAC@AlQ Vi AAAAO viz
reorganization of the railroad sy
which post he has accepted.
That Gales would be- Splendidly
equipped TO handle the business of
the treasury Is unquestioned, and
he has been pressed tO accept this
post, but It Is believed Gales feels
he can better serve his country in
untangling the affairs or the rail-
roads.
IL Is regarded as highly imprc-
bahle that provisional President
Portes Gil will step down into m
cabinet post. Those closest 10 the
present executive believe Tie desires
TO get out Of politics, that he would
accept "a bench I'm the supreme
court, but likely would consider no
other public office.

WITH her many other geographic
wv al advantages, Brownsville en-
- Joys one special advantage,
which as the years go by viii grow
larger and larger.
This IS trade with Mexico. The
first large city contact for Browns
!. vile in Mexico is found in Monter-
rev. Monterrey is a manufacturing
town OF no small dimensions. She
has many things wanted IN the
United States. and vice versa the
United States has many tlsSngs
wanted in Monterrey.
This is being set forth to explain
one little step that the Laredo
Chamber OF Commerce has taken,
which is gaining for her much re-
tail trade from the sister city on the
south.
That body has had sent to It
from the chamber Of commerce OF
Monterrey, or from known business
men, a list Of names Of business
men of Monterrey. These names
have been mailed cards by the La
redo Chamber OF Commerce. which
entitle the holders to cross the
bridge amost at will on business
trims 10 Laredo. The holders are
given unusual courtesies provided
they do not intend and do not go
beyond the forty mile zone. The
idea Is Just passed along here. for
the Monterrey people appreciate the
courtesy, and also the avoidance Of
what sometimes proves rather long
delays In customs examinations. es-
pecially II they just wish to make
q flying trip to the city.

THERE was again only one thing
to mar q holiday, this time the
Thanksgiving holiday. These
were accidents, so many OF which
ended in death.
Last Monday great surprise was
served when press reports did not
list a long number Of violent deaths.
BUT then In the same week came
Thanksgiving and the average in
the number suddenly dying was
brought up TO par.
III any word from this writer can
ever avoid a single accident, he
stands ready TO sound warnings
continually, until his own call comes,
in whatever manner, TO step out
from behind the typewriter into the
final adventure.

day accidents This is gasitis. And
the affliction Is found in the foot.

ing here about three weeks one

THAT the Brownsville Eagles will

Texas towns, how much prettier
those towns would be.

RABIES INCREASES
In STATE, BOARD
OF HEALTH FINDS
lCOnfinued from 6rsr pa0el


which time one has no means of
knowing whether or not infection
has occurred. Sometimes animals, or
house pets other than dogs, are in
fected, so that these too may be
sources of danger.
Rabies is ALWAYS a wound infec-
tion-that is, the poison is taken in
through some break in the skin.
Treatment directed against the de-
velopment of the disease should al
ways be taken if dog is known to
be mad; if the dog is suspected of
being mad, but positive information
is not available; if the dog is un-
known and cannot be traced.
"The records show how wide
spread the disease has recently be-
come. The positive cases examined
in the laboratory of the State De-
partment of Health in 1928 came
from Milton, Bellefonte, Dover, Will
mington, Middletown, Henry Clay,
Marshallton, Port Penn, Edge Moor,
Lincoln, Stanton, and Cooch's
Bridge. There were more cases ex-
amined in the laboratory in 1928
which gave positive results than
were examined in both the years
1926 and 1927. This indicates what a
menace rabies has become in this
State"
