Aviation, the latest mean OF
transportation, so pregnant with
potentialities, has definitely passed
its period of experimentation based
on trial and error. There is nc
guess work in the strength of ma
terials employed in the construction
Of planes or engines. Calculations
are based on the results Of thous-
ands of experiments checked and
rechecked. All the varying forces
brought to bear during normal and
display flying on any detail are
known. and the factors of safety
set down by the department OF
commerce are ample. Inspection
checking, loading to destruction and
other safeguards for the detection
and elimination Of possible flaws
during manufacture represents the
motto Safety First" carried to ex-
traordinary perfection.
Material failure In the modern
airplane, of such q nature as to
cause disaster is so remote Is to be
UNNECESSARILY below the risks run
in many safe commonplace avoca-
tons In life. The aircraft COM
prised in the equipment Of a large
modern and properly organized air
transport company are par excel
lence reliable craft, while the scru-
pulous care with which they are
maintained, the extravagant rate
at which they are withdrawn from
service. and the talent. skill, and ex-
perience Of the specially trained
pilots and mechanics afford guar
antees incomparahly superior Ia
those in any analogous business.
Craft Is Safe
The public may board an air liner
In absolute confidence so fa= as the
craft Is concerned; but let it be
clearly understood we r consider
ing only the serious business OF
commercial flying as conducted by
the Pan-Americal Anyways and like
companies; the kind Of flying which
alone is justified in the public SER

FAIR OBTAINS
VALLEY BANDS
Four Donate Services For
Mid Winter Valley Show;
Others Expected
Especial to The Herald

HARLINGEN, Aug. 24.-Four
Valley bands already have agreed
to donate their services during one
day at the Valley Winter Fair.
and the band problem is hence prac-
tically settled. John T. Floore,
manager, announced here today.
Floore said the action was taken
because OF the Valley-wide effort
to get the fair more firmly estab-
lished financially and in every 9TH
er respect.
The bands which will play are the
Mission high school band, the Nc
Allen. Weslaco and Harrington mu-
nicipal bands. Several other bands
in the Valley will probably join the
list in a short time, Floore said.
He also said it is likely that the
Missouri Pacific Booster band Of
KingSville will come to the fair and
will play one day, and the Southern
Pacific band slso will probably be
on hand. Tho fair management liz
in communication with these con-
Germs now.
with the band problem settled
we are giving considerable attention
20 securing a number of other spe-
cial attractions for Valley people at
the fair this year, November 81 to

SOFT OR HARD?
y y =
ROWNSVIL ELS

WATER is BOTH

Is Brownsville's city water soft
or hard? Answer yes or no.
Either would be correct. In the
winter 1t Is quite soft, and in the
summer, not nearly 50 amenable
for an easy shave. The answer,
according to City Manager "A. 4.
Munday Is that in the winter,
which is usually the rainy season,
the river water pours into the Rio
Grande from Mexico apd the
Valley along its lower reaches, the
water which flows from the fau-
Get Is almost as soft and hubby
as pure rain water. During dry
spells. when water in the river Is
low, and its flow Is almost entire
ly supplied from the head waters
in Colorado. and the water sheds
of west Texas, Brownsville citizens
are quite likely to find the soap
curdling into a scummy ring on
the bath tub. All of which is due
to a chemical process by which
water filtering through the lime
stone and other minerals of the
rocky section, dissolve these and
carry them along in solution, thus
making the local soap bill Just
about twice as large.

with which they met Is revealed

Mccormack Started II
The youths got started On their
hobby in Austin during a visit by
John McC ormack. They asked to
see the famous singer. McCor-
mack's manager asked If they
wanted the tenor's signature. The
university students had no idea Of
seeking an autograph before but
answered In the affirmative. With
this as a beginning, they now have
built up a large collection.
Most OF the signatures were OBJ
tanned by writing for them. Sew
eral Of those now in their books are
ranked among the impossible" by
other collectors.
Rudyard Kipling has a reputation
Of 'autographing nothing" But
this ambitious pair OF schemers OBJ
tanned his scrawled signature. Vari-
Gus and devious methods are used
in getting the names Of the great
and near great on the dotted line"
Won't Tell How
There Is a story In how they OBJ
tanned Queen Marie'S signature that
they won't reveal. They got Edi-
sons name by appealing to his
wife. Obregon's signature was OBJ
tanned just before he was assassi-
mated.
King Boris name was obtained
through his hobby for ZOOS. The
university boys have been complete
~ baked by King George and
Mussolini, however, they admit.
Hoover's was easily obtained during
the last campaign.
Parsons give UP easier than the
remainder Of the field, the collectors
state. They have the names Of the
