C-Mr. Ziegfeld. you are the AIl-American in
dorser, are you not?
Aft I am not I have been wasting a lot Of Ink
Q-Is there any nationally known product which
you have not Endorsed?
A-Nothing that comes TO mind at the moment.
I've Endorsed about everything in the country except
George Whites Scandals, the income tax, and the
electric chair.
o-Isnt it quite q strain to testify for SO many
things?
A-wel. it is hard on a beginner. but one gets used
to it. A few years ago when I first began indorsing
products I couldn't turn out more than one or two
testimonials a day. Now I can shake out a hatful on
five minutes notice. It's a system.
Q-I see you have Endorsed the Blue Rajah cigar
cite.
A-That's one OF EN-. YES. I am proud to say that
I consider the Blue Rajoh cigarette makes shaving
easier. softens the beard and leaves the skin feeling
clear. cool and comfortable. I rub just a little on
each cheek and
Q-Youre thinking of woofetts shaving cream
A-Maybe you're right.
0-By the way. what was IL you said In indorsing
Woofett's shaving cream?
Al said it removes tartar. strengthens the gums
keeps away mouth germs and kills halitosis. I know
of no other preparation that $3.50.
Q-Youre mixed up again, Mr.. ziegfeld.
A-Wer. you'll have to pardon it; I'm a very busy
man.
OIL saw an advertisement last night in which
you also Endorsed Speevick balloon tires, did 1 not?
A-Ah, yes, indeed. I am delighted to state that
for aiding indigestion and helping the tired business
man fight off the ailments Of middle age the Spec
wick balloon tire is without an equal. I always carry
a little box Of them in my grip when I am away on
the road.
Q-And 1 observe, also, an Endorsement under your
photograph and signature Of whatziss henna for
identifying the hair.
Add I indorse that?
Q-Don't you know you did?
Al never could be sure without looking up the
check.
Q-Getting down to business, I am here to see If
/ can get you to say a word for the b. & x. electric
ice box.
A-For how much?
Q-Would 5000 interest you?
A-Not ordinarily, but this is a dull day. You may
say to the American people that I believe the B. & K.
electric superior to any car I have ever driven. 1t con-
tains no nicotine, gives hair that luxurious look,
doesn't discolor the teeth and will give three times
the mileage Of any other complexion cream. I heat
my home with a B. & X. and have never been sick in
my life.

Deep Water Harbor Next

The northern terminal Of Pan-American Always,
Inc, is permanently located at the Brownsville mu-
nicipal airport.
viii take over the airfield July J.,
and Immediately begin building operations which are
to amount to 100000 and not more than 100000 in
three years.
This permanently puts Brownsville on the air maps
of the world as the location Of one Of the most i'm
portant international aerial gateways. George L. Rihl,
vice president Of Pan-American, expresses the belief
more passengers will travel this way than will go
through the Miami, Fla, gateway to Central and
South America.
Then this is an accomplished fact.
Brownsville next must make real her dreams Of
becoming the site OF a deep water port.
With two Of the most important rail lines Of the
United States serving the section, with three air mail
and passenger lines operating and a fourth to be es-
tablished soon, with concrete highways connecting
with upstate points. only one modern method of
transportation is denied to the V~alley-thet is ship
ping.
The railroads provided an outlet for the thousands
Of tons Of produce grown on Valley farms and made
possible the development which has attracted the at
tention Of the entire nation. They made this far
southern province easily accessible.
The highways and automobile travel brought in
the tourists in increasing numbers and spread the
fame Of the climate and opportunities for outdoor
recreation.
The plane established quick communication be-
tween the Valley and the outside world, eliminating
expensive delays in business transaction. and placing
the entire area closer to the center OF activities.
II is left for water transportation to supply COM
munication with European and other foreign coun-
tries and to reduce freight costs TO a point which will
insure continued prosperity to Valley agriculture.
The Brownsville project offers the most feasible
plan for securing this needed reduction in freight
rates and for establishing connection with foreign
'ands.
Lets build the port next.

Colquitt and Dive.

Former Gov. Oscar b. Colquitt wired a protest to
Gov. Dan Moody IN which he asked the Texas COVER
nor to veto the Margie Neal resolution. IN his mes
sage he said that democrats Of a st. Louis district
nominated for a seat In congress James McLemore, a
negro. They did-for a purpose.
Cong. Dyer IS a republican. He was a republican
nominee standing for reelection. He is the author
OF the federal anti-lynching bill. He has been push
ing the bill for years. He is one Of the bitterest OF
the Northern congressman toward the South and has
been bleeding inwardly and outwardly for years over
the wrongs" Of the Southern negro at the hands OF
white people Of the South.
His district Is the black belt district Of st. Louis.
McLemore was named to make the race against DYER.
Dyer won. He had the backing Of the republican
machine. the federal administration. the state ad-
ministration. He won as the spokesman Of the black
belt district OF Missouri.
Mediator Colquitt IS a former newspaperman. A
newspaperman should state the facts.

She held tight to Kent's arm,
and he was looking down at her,
laughing. From the corner Of her
eyes Dovie saw Bark and Vivian,
and put her arm around him. She

they were well past, Dovie turned

"Oh, look, honey There goes

Kent frowned and looked after

She has to get something out OF

How quickly she forgave him for

shook her head.

Health and Right Living
By ROYAL 8. COPELAND, NJ ID.
Former Commissioner OF Health

We are in the season when little
babies must have the closest Of at
tention. Hot weather Is bad enough
for all us huskies. but IL Is terrible
indeed for the frail infant.
Let me say to the dear mother:
You must take the best OF care
OF yourself. You must have good
health, poise and get rest enough
TO restore your strength and vigor.
Each day Is one OF trial. and hard
indeed ever II you are perfectly
well.
II you get too little sleep and
lose your appetite. the baby is in
fluenced almost at once. The child
becomes restless and irritable. 1t
won't be long before the poor little
thing loses its normal eagerness for
food. Then comes diarrhoea and
vomiting.
1t Is to be hoped your child can
continue breast feeding all through
the hot season. II there is enough
for that purpose, II Is a lucky baby
indeed.
There X no real substitute for
mothers milk. The scientists are
making progress in arranging arti-
fetal feelings. but in many things
1t Is impossible 10 improve on Ma
ture. In the matter OF baby feed
ing, certainly. nothing Is equal to
breast feeding. provided the mother
Is perfectly normal.
1t is extremely difficult 10 keep
cows milk in proper condition dur
ing the hot days and nights Of
summer. Unless the milk Is kept
at very low temperature. below so
degrees. the germs or bacteria al
ways present, are SUI to multiply.
In contrast to this Is the pure
and uncontaminated mothers milk.
There is little danger Of infections
from that fluid.
OF course, poisons and illness can
be carried to the infant II the
neither is out Of health. But II the
mother Is normal the milk carries
substances and agents that guard
against disease and cause the baby
to grow rapidly into strong body
and vigorous health.
Babies who are properly fed,
whether on breast milk or cows
milk. have such vigor that they re-
sist disease. Such babies will en-
dure the heat Of summer. no mat
ter where the temperature goes.
Keep in touch with your family
doctor. II baby does not thrive as
you think It should. talk with him.
IN all probability your fears are
g~roundless. But I don't want the
mother to have any fears. They
are bad for her and for the baby.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUAINIER

WASHINGTON, June 2S-The theatrical stock
company that was such a favorite Of Mrs. Calvin
Coolidge when she was mistress Of the White House,
has succumbed to the doldrums.
Fer five seasons, the National Players have fur
nished Washington the only stage performances dur
ing the summer months. People Of all stations flock
ed to the theater on E street. The company boosted
Of being one az the most successful in the United
States.
But after July I the doors OF the National will be
darkened. Not until autumn will it reopen. Then
1t will not be stock. but revues and plays booked from
New York.
The management blames strife with stage hands
and musicians for closing.
Mrs. Coolidge was one Of the most enthusiastic
patrons Of the National during stock. Every week she
was in town. she attended the Wednesday matinee.

She had three reserved seats in the seventh row
Of the orchestra. A box was offered her by the man
ager. Steve Cochran, but 1t was declined. She pre-
ferred to sit with the hundreds Of other women.
Cochran says that the Wednesday matinee at the
National was the most colorful performance Of the
week. The theater always was crowded to its capaci-
ty on account OF Mrs. Coolidge's presence. Women
would await the then first lady's arrival outside the
theater. Her appearance was the signal for much ap-
plause.
The company would hold a little reception at the
conclusion Of the Wednesday matinee in honor Of
Mrs. Coolidge. She never failed to remain until it was
over. The actors and actresses would make short
speeches. Mrs. Coolidge applauded them enthusiast
ically.
Nor was Mrs. Coolidge the only person high in the
official life Of Washington to attend the National
during the stock season.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson came regularly every Thurs
day night and occupied a seat in the orchestra.
