WORKLAUDED

WESLAC0, Feb. 11.-Development
Of Boy Scout activities in the Lover
Rio Grande Valley was commended
by James j. Fitch, Of Dallas, region
al director, in an address at a meet
inc Of Valley Scout executives here.
The director especially commended
Camp Perry on the Arroyo Colorado,
erected for the Boy Scouts Of the
Valley. and expressed approval of
the spirit of cooperation evidenced
by the various Valley communities
in connection with establishment
and development Of Boy Scout troops.
The address by Mr.. Fitch follow
ed a general discussion by Valley
executives on Boy Scout activities
in the Valley.
1.-THE consciousness Of citizenship
responsibilities and character among
boys is built only through their con-
tact with the men Of the commun-
ity. whose lives they read in the
citizenship and character Of those
Responsibilities OF the council
are two-fold; first IL must maintain
Scouting on such n basis that boys
will want to become members. and
crate and maintain conditions where
by the big men Of the community
will be challenged to give leadership
TO the boys Of the community. The
poorest excuse that men offer for
failing to do their duty is that they
haven't time. Men always find time
20 do the things in which they are
interested. Witness the crowded
condition of our golf links.
Modern conditions are such that
communities can no longer be i'm
terested only in their own prob
lens, but must take cognizance Of
the problem Of their neighbors. The
boy problem of Brownsville for in
stance. can be TRANSPORTED to Mis-
sion in two hours time. Therefore

To Establish Reg

Fort Worth

Regular passenger and express
service between Fort Worth and
Brownsville will be established in a
few weeks by the Texas Air Trans
port Co., Of Fort Worth, was the
assertion OF Jerry Marshall, general
manager OF the TAT flying service
and flying school, subsidiaries OF
the company, who was in Browns
Vile Sunday.
Stating that Brownsville has the
most efficient and conveniently ar
ranged airport in the South, Mar
shall added that he was in the city
TO make a survey with the objective
of establishing the southern term
inal of the company's lines here.
Orders have been placed by the
company for 25 Travelair 6-plaee
machines, he stated, the first deliy-
cry being made Friday of last week,
These machines will be utilized on
the conpany's lines extending in all
directions from Fort Worth.
Il can state without reservation
that the Brownsville airport il the

ner in which II is developing an in
ternational port. I predict that
within a year or two this will be-
come one Of the most important
ports in the United States, the gate.

Marshall has been IN charge Of the
TAT flying school Mt Fort Worth
several months. and will remain at
the head of that subsidiary of the
Texas Air Transport Co. He made
the trip to Brownsville Saturday aft

flying. plotting a Curtiss Robin
m%onoplane. This il a three-place
plane, Marshall making several ex-
hibition flights Sunday with PAS
sengers.
1.-The Brownsville airport has been
a revelation to me-" Marshall said,
II came to the border expecting to
find n typical small town airport, but
found a port which / am convinced
surpasses any in the South, both in
area and general efficiency Of the
arrangement. Brownsville is build
ing for the future; the city is max
ing a bid for the big time bus ness.
and has the geographical location
and airport that will bring it. ] un-
derstand the city will have approx
mately 100000 invested when pres
emit plans are completed, and
Brownsville will have a port tina;
will be worth millions.
Another point is that under mu-
nicipal ownership il will be possible
10 make this the southern terminal
for all air lines. and due TO the fact
Brownsville offers exceptional ia
c~ilities they will not be slow to take
advantage Of them.
another point | wish 70 com
mend il the city's selection Of ar
airport manager. Les Mauldin j. ar
experienced pilot, an able executive
and knows what an airport should
have TO make il efficient and az
tractive. I consider the city Of
Brownsville very fortunate in having
secured his services.

PRINCE hints
WIFE'S ENTRY

Turkish Nobleman Is
D~isillusioned, Dis
guested With Amer
lean Spouse

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-(R-
An interview, given here by Prince
Suad Chakir, grandson Of the late
sultan Of Turkey. threatened today
to cause an inquiry into the prced-
ure by which his estranged wife,
the former Sidi Writ Spreckles, re-
gained her United States citizenship
last week.
Prince Chakir who declared he
had been "disillusioned, hurt and
disguised" said he had come to "a
parting of the ways with his
American born consort, and that he
would return to Turkey and obtain
a divorce. Dispatches from Turkey
several months ago said divorce pro-
ceedings had been instituted by the
prince and it had been understood
here a decree mad been issued.
The Turkish nobleman, who said
he was here on business and that he
would not see his wife, limited that
her repatriation had not been legal
because she had entered this country
on a visitors permit. He said he be-
lieved it was necessary for an alien
visitor to enter under the immigra-
tion quota 10 obtain citizenship.
Mrs. Spreckels automatically relin-
pushed her American citizenship
when she married the prince in
Paris.
"For two years and a half said
the prince, my family has been
trampled into the dust by the suit
brought against Madame Chakir by
Princess Chiyekiar (former wife OF
