THAT GRAVITY CANAL which

Here are a few figures given In

1t will be "a miles in length.
starting from the river at 4 point
between La Feria and Harlingen.
1t will be $50 feet wide at the

II will be 80 feet wide at the bot
tom. The Brownsville ship canal
will be 100 feet.
The gravity canal will be IL feet
deep. The Brownsville ship canal
will be two feet deeper.
The gravity canal will be cement
lined TO protect adjoining lands.
The Brownsville ship canal cannot

Considering plans for joint action
which will Drisg some sort of a
solution to the official phases of
handling international mails and
packages, etc.
One suggestion, by Collector YER
duga Of Matamoros, was the estab-
lishment of an international zone.
That would include a circular ter
ritory including both Matamoros and
Brownsville. With customs and i'm
migration officials Of each nation
with adequate powers.
There Is still another suggestion.
This one is that all matters re-
lating TO customs and immigration
and mails be handled by the con-
sulates.
POSSIBLY the Mexican consulate
in Brownsville would be given
staff OF clerks to look after that
nations interests in the local air
port.
And the American consulate in
Matamoros could be given a staff Of
clerks to look after American inter
ests in connection with air mails and
travel on that side Of the river.
IL is not an impossible situation
Of course. But will require time
and thought 20 bring about proper
organization.
Some believe the whole matter
should be handled through diplo-

Copyright. 1929. by Hoyle. Jr,

What are some Of the important
points about auction that the average
PLAYER should remember? Here are
three pointers from three different
plaver5 that are well worth remember
ing.
first: "An important thing for an
auction player to learn and remember
is that he cannot always be at his best.
That sounds fairly obvious, yet some
times Il player goes a long way before
he realizes it. Until he does, he will fret
too much over a session Of bad play or
bad bidding. When he does realize it,
however, he will sit down calmly and
figure out why he made SO many mis-
takes. Having figured it out, he will
come to the conclusion that none of his
mistakes are fatal and that, like as not,
he will have good day on the morrow. ="
Second: The first and most vital
thing that an auction player should
learn is not TO take the card game
home with him. Have your troubles at
the card table and in the post n1ortem
after, if you must, but when you leave
the card table shut the door Oh them.
# you don't they will rob you Of your
sleep, make you an irritable figure
around your home and eventually take
years of your life. That is simple
enough, It seems to me, yet a lot Of
players 1nutf it.
Third: "A young player who learns
thar is sometimes will pay him to play
the boob, has learned something of
great value. This applies both to the
bidding and play. There are certain
rules as 10 when it IS smart to make
this bid or that play, and when it isn't.
soon discovered that opposing players
were prepared to break I'D Or properly
defend certain bids OF plays only when
Nogales international., 1929-11-01
ARTICLE No. II

they were the proper thing to do, SO
began TO bid ana play in such way
that, Theoretically, at times | was all
wrong. Even my partners called me a
boob but that didn't stop me as long
as my apparently illogical bids and
plays upset my opponents and kept
winning for me. "
The foregoing advice can be taken
for what it is worth, but it certainly
should make all players think and by
starting them to think, cannot help
but improve their games.
End Plays
One of the usual statements heard
at a card table is THAT was a pretty
end play" or Partner, you missed a
chance for an end play"
What is an end play, and is there
any way for the average player to
learn how to make one? There are
thirteen tricks in every hand and by
the time the first eight or nine tricks
are won or lost, every player should
either know exactly or have good
idea as to the location of the remaining
cards held by each player. Very fre-
quently such knowledge can be put to
good use and tricks can be Won that
would be impossible if the location OF
the remaining cards were not known
Such plays are the so-called End
Plays" and the best way to master their
principles is by a study of numerous
examples.
Here are four simple cases. Study
them over carefully and decide what
you would do. Your results should
make an interesting comparison with
the analysis that will be given in the
next Article.

New Things Under The Sun

After ALL there is very little, if anything, new I'm
der the sun The old saying bears out at nearly every
angle Apparently many products are the resultS ol
discoveries recently made. But when the light OF or
ignaty is turn on is clear that they are mere re-
finements of the same idea.
The monographs of twenty years ago would not
be given space in the modern home; yet phonographs
Of exceptiOna quality grace many living rooms
similarity of reasoning exists In the case OF the au
tonobe It still rims on Wheels, but so did the OK
cart and buggy Even the loWly bicycle has undergone
changes for the better Chdrens toys and things with
wheels are perhaps the best examples OF mOdlat1On
from the fimsy breakable playthings to the sturdy
well-built juvenile amusement devices OF today Inc
price tells too to extent that the high cost OF toys
for the youngsters becomes companion slogan TO
the high-cOSt OF living.
So there is little or nothing new under the sun,
but there are better things being developed 1t IS the
same with communities. We can not expect to make
over" Nogales at least not In few months or year
It is the same old place and the same old community
But better things already have come about. We
still make the community better community and
Nogales better town. It discovered long ago
that there was possibility of great center of trade
educaton industry and social life in the site that was
Selected and named Nogales We who follow those who
pioneered find ourselves daily wanting the prophesy
to be fulfilled It will be fulfilled insofar we exert
ourselves and eXpend our energies III cooperative
way reach the goal fixed without our advice or con-
sent.
There is nothing new under the sun, but we can
brighten up what is here and needs Frightening, and
make it glitter in the pathway of progre8s we can
encourage higher quality Of citizenship and rd the
community of the menace of civic apathy. We can
make our community cleaner in physical aspect by
following simple rules of Cleanliness We can improve
upon the 'paythings Of the groWn-ups, such as or
ganized activities and thus engender the spirit OF
play into the game Of community building:
To make town appear new is actually remodel
ING it according to the accepted scheme and shapen
it physically morally and civcay into definite con-
dition to accept its promised destiny
-O-O-O-
Maybe the "days Of '49" mean that one day seem
ed like 40.
A friend in need is usually one who has little
money that isn't working
A flexible tariff is something that bends the
country, but may not break it.
Those who wonder why convicts break out Of
penitentiaries never have been in one.
Carrying the love Of publicity too far is getting

It's funny thing: they call themselves "jazz
bands, but they seldom march anywhere except out
the door to light cigaret.
