Millions of dollars will soon have been gathered from the fields of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley in the form off eecy staple. The bulk of the cotton crop
has been harvested = the price has been good and the yield above average. The
Valley may well look forward to ne of the most prosperous years it has ever
experienced. Mr.. H. L. Asmeyer, Cameron County farm agent, has done much
to promote production of cotton, vegetables citrus and the other crops grown on
Valley farms.
But mote only is cotton helping 1.-The Valley farmer Seed beds and trck round are being pre-

bers Of the American Association for
the Advancement Of Scoence, the largest
general scientific organization in the
United States, make q similar trek, CIV
ing up the holidays that to multitudes
are almost sacred, and giving rise to
questions why scientists do such things.
Necessity rather than choice is the
reason. Although science has spread
throughout industry, the teachers in
schools and colleges still remain the
largest fountain head of science in the
United States. They cannot leave their
principal business, which is teaching,
during school months. and they are too
scattered by other necessary occupations
to use Summer vacation time. The
Christmas holidays offer the only other
period of sufficient length.

MORE MONEY SEEN
AS DRY FORCE NEED
Senator Harris to Work for
Larger Appropriations as
Result of Controversy.

Developments in the controversy over
prohibition enforcement at the Capitol
today were:
Senator Sheppard of Texas, co-author
OF the eighteenth amendment, plans to
press consideration of his bill making
purchasers of liquor guilty of law vio-
latton along with the sellers.
Senator Harris of Georgia said that
he was convinced from the statements
issued by Senator Borah, Attorney Gen.
eral Mitchell and Prohibition Commits
sioner Doran that more money must be
appropriated by Congress for prohibi-
ton enforcement.
Senator Harris also insisted that he
would demand action on his resolution
calling for report on prohibition en-
forcement from the Presidents Crime
Commission before the Senate takes UP
the Treasury appropriation bill, carrying
appropriations for prohibition enforce
ment.
1t is understood that Senator Norris
will not be ready 10 go ahead with
Sheppard bill and hearings on it I'M
til after the tariff bill has been dis
posed of by the Senate, probably some
time in February.
With more money appropriated for
prohibition enforcement Senator Harris
said it would be possible to employ
more prohibition agents and get a bet
ter class of them
IT do not mean to reflect on the
present prohibition officers when I say
this" said Senator Harris. But it
is quite clear that we need more men
and the best class of men that We can
have to enforce the prohibition laws"
Senator Harris said that the report
sent to the Senate dealing with the ac-
tivities of the prohibition unit and
going into details of what has been
done since the appropriation was in
creased last year. shows that in some
districts there had been less work done
than before the increased appropriation
was made. This. in the opinion of Sen
ator Harris, clearly indicates that there
is something wrong with prohibition en-
forcement as it is now conducted.
The Georgia Senator said that ne
saw no reason why the Presidents
Crime Commission could not make re-
port on prohibition. He said that delay
in the report was just playing into the
hands of every man who is opposed
to prohibition. The Congress, he said,
when it provided the money for the
Crime Commission, intended particu-
larly to have the money used to investi-
gate and report on prohibition enforce
ment.
Senator Harris and other prohibition
Senators have been disturbed over re-
ports that the Crime Commission is set
Ting down here for the next two to four
years. If there is to be any such pro-
tracted consideration of prohibition en-
forcement by the commission. Senator
Harris and the others wish to know 1t.

DES MONIES. Iowa, December 49,
The age when flaming youth begins to
revolt was identified in a report to the
education section of the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Sci
ence today.
That period is the twelfth grade, the
seniors in high school, The revolt then,
scientifically called deviation" Is def
mite and uniform, whether for city, SUBJ
urban or country youth. But 1t Is also
slight, giving little basis for anathemas
against modern young folk, and there is
a recovery of ideals later on, and
the youngsters, despite their tendency
to crack, appear to have higher rat
Ing than some, though not all, Of their
elders.
Boys OutfIare Girls.
In the period of outbreak the boys
outflare the girls.
The report appears to Ak time when
it may be especially valuable to guard
the development Of youth. The twelfth
grade deviation was found during
study Of the attitudes Of $500 Iowa
school children toward law. 1t was
made this year by DR.. E. G. Lockhart,
professor OF psychology at Drake Uni
verSity.
The youngsters answered 81 questions
about 20 laws more or less familiar to
children and the standard used for
measuring their answers was almost
august, being the replies to the same
questions by SO lawyers of the highest
rank in Iowa. The children ranged
from the fourth grade to the twelfth.
The lawyers scored a percentage Of
1903 and the fourth graders 44.07. The
children'S percentages rose until its
peak was in the eleventh grade with
1929. Then the twelfth grade dropped
to 460S. The higher group, however,
college graduates, rose to 47.58, q point
higher than the grades.
A small town civic club was below
even the twelfth graders, with score
Of 45.73.
1--WE found" said DR.. Lockhart, "that
attitude toward law improves with each
intelligence until high school. At the
highest level of intelligence in high
school we discovered a tendency to fall
below, or perhaps we had better say
deviate, from the attitude held by adults.
This group stubbornly persists IN an
attitude that does not conform to the
adults. 1t is the influence Of this group
in grade IL that pulls down their mean
score. The significance of this finding
may be far reaching and worthy Of ex-
haustive research.
Problem Is Held Individual.
"Sex appears to have no influence Of
consequence on attitude toward law. In
grades IL and IL the girls are shown
to have an attitude slightly nearer that
Of adults than the boys. This difference
Is small but constant.
Social and economic status is of no

COMPLAINT is SECOND.
Commissioner Wynnes Letter Similar TO
One From s. Dana Hubbard.

Commissioner Wynne'S complaint was
received this afternoon by Federal
Radio Commission, but the commission
followed DR.. Wynne's request that the
matter be kept confidential and refused
to make its text public.
Meanwhile, however, 1t was learned
that the Wynne complaint is the sec
ond of such complaints. On December
6 last lengthy complaint was received
from S. Dana Hubbard, commissioner Of
the Division Of Legal Medicine of New
York, which set forth that two New
York broadcaSting stations we're permit
ting programs to be sent out by their
equipment and presumably from their
studios, making claims of cures which
DR.. Hubbard claims are fraudulent and
constitute fraudulent advertising
Two radio stations are named In one
Of the letters received by the Commits
sion. The flrSt-named station has q
contract with q Boston company, ac-
cording to the correspondence, running
until the middle Of 1890.
DR.. Hubbard said the station has per-
mitted broadcasts from its studios con-
tanning the assertion that the Boston
concerns preparation will cure rheu-
matiSm." DR.. Hubbard, according to
the letter. has been in communication
with the National Better Business Blu
reau and the New York tuberculosis
and Health Association.
In reply to DR.. Hubbards letter of
complaint, the commission answered
with the usual formal letter acknowl-
edging receipt, but pointed out that
under the law the commission has no
authority to censor radio programs.
The commissions letter pointed out,
however, that DR.. Hubbard's letter may
be considered when the regular period
for issuing new license comes up.
Radio broadcasting licenses are renewed
every three months. The commission,
the letter said, will compare programs
and consider the complaint set forth
by DIR. Hubbard.
The letter also said that the other
station advertises over the air on behalf
of a concern which claims, DR.. Hub
bard said, Ito cure asthma in six treat
ments." DR.. Hubbard claimed medical
| fraud in this advertisement also, and
said that If the claims of the corpora
! ton could be proven successfully, 1.-The
| fortune of the concern would be made
and they would have more wealth than
Rockefeller and Ford cut together"
Medicine, DR.. Hubbard added. has
found no specific cure for asthma.

RUSSIAN ACE TO AID SEARCH.

MOSCOW, December 26 (P.-Per-
sonal appeal of Senator Borah of Idaho,
chairman of the Senate foreign rela-
lions committee, and of the United
States Department of the Interior to
the Moscow government for aid in
search for Carl Ben EielSon and Earl
Borland in the icy wastes of Siberia was
answered today.
The Soviet foreign Office announced
that an airplane was dispatched We'd
nesday to search for the two missing
American aviators.
The announcement said also two 9TH

of Soviet Russia since his flight from
Moscow to New York, was selected to

such radio programs are listened to by

these programs pour into us from nests

PARTIAL DRY REPORT

Says Senator.

NEW YORK, December 26.-United
States Senator Robert F. Wagner of
New York last night expressed . hope
no serious consideration would be given
to efforts of some dry Senators to have
the Hoover law enforcement commission
make q preliminary report on prohibi-
ton enforcement.
Senator Wagner's statement also said
he was quite certain the President will
pay no heed to the demand" for re-
moval from the commission of Judge
Paul j. Mccormick because of the jurist's
recent comment in Los Angeles on what
he called Government lawlessneSs" in
connection with prohibition.
Mr.. Wagner said there was "evidence
aplenty that dry agents had searched
homes Of innocent citizens without war
rants, and declared there was nothing
so offensive to the public sense Of what
is right"
Referring to the demand for a pre-
liminary report, he said 1t was "impera-
tive that the commission be given both
the time and the latitude" to make
its report on the basis of complete In
formation and mature elaboration"
