EXPECTCROWD
TO SEE PLANES
Municipal Airport Pre-
pared For Usual
Sunday Rush

Provided more rain does not fall
Brownsville's municipal AIRPORT Is
expected to be one Of the busiest
places in she Valley again Sunday.
Last Sunday it was estimated
that from 1000 to 5000 persons Wis
tied the field during the day ard
that number Is expected to be dupli-
Gated this week.
The field was rendered unusually
muddy by the slight rain which fell
Thursday night and Fridsy. but the
wind had dried the runwsys TO a
considerable extent by Saturday
night. and IL was believed they
would be hard enough BY Sunday to
permit planes t. take off.
One plane made a fliEh. from the
field Saturday. IL was the Stinson-
Detroiter Junior and was piloted on
the flight by Randolph Page, chief
testing pilot OF the Stinson factory.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pedro Chapa and r.
3. Creager made the flight with
him.
The condition Of the runways fol-
lowing the rain was caused that d
topping or fire gravel had been
placed on them since the last rain
and this topping never had been wet
or rolled. les Mauldin, airport man
ager, said that as soon as the gravel
had dried sufficiently to permit. IL
would be rolled and that future
rains would not interfere with fly
ing.
IL the runwsys are in condition n
- planned to make some night
flights Sunday and many people will
have their first opportunity "a see
all Of the field lights in operation.
The border lights have been in use
only about a week and they add
much to the appearance of TIE port
at night.

STABILIZING
SHIPPERS SAY
Reduction Of Ship
Inents Aid In De-
plotting Accumulated
Stocks on Market

With only q cars OF cabbage
isaded Friday and less than 10
ears loaded Saturday, early stabili-
zation of the cabbage market was
predicted Saturday night BY Lower
Rio Grande Valley shippers, who re-
ceived reports during the day that
the accumulated stocks in the heavy
consuming markets were beginning
TO move.
| Prospects for a 20-a-ton cabbage
. market appeared brighter Saturday
night than at any time in the last
ten days. shippers reported, and
they expressed confidence that II
the growers continue to cooperate
and refrain from cutting, the $50
goal can be attained and held.
The growers are extending al
most 100 per cent cooperation vas
the tenor Of responses TO telephone
inquiries 10 the Valley shippers Sat
urdzy afternoon. AT all major
shipping points the report was the
same. Practically no cabbage was
being cut Friday or Saturday, the
confiniug cutting opera
tons TO fields that could not hold
over.
Hold for $50 Per Ton
Practically all established ship
pers were advising the growers 70
hold for the $50 price, and in this
they received the cooperation Of
bankers and other business inter-
ssts. Many Of the largest producers
OF cabbage announced Saturday they
would not cut a head until the mar
ket is stabilized. and that they
would hold for 500 or better.
Weather conditions in the north
srn and eastern markets were inn
proving Saturday, and kilograms
from receivers were more optimis-
tic than at any time In the past two
weeks. A heavy demand from the
retail trade is expected the first
of the week, and this will be re-
Elected in a steady advance to
growers. However. growers are
being urged not 70 place cabbage
en- the market until il is evident
that the accumulated stocks have
been depleted sufficiently 70 no
longer control the price.
Stored Stocks Not a Factor
Reports from New York and
Wisconsin were very encouraging,
and indicated that the stored cab
hsge eould no longer be a factor in
tho deal Last season at this date

storage. or practically as much ~

REALITY LICENSE
LAW MAY SPREAD
Legislation Is Expected to Be
introduced in Many
More States.

Legislation to provide for real estate
license laws such as are already in
force in % States is expected to be
introduced at the converting Legisla-
lures of number of additional States,
notably Kansas, Iowa, Rhode Island,
Maryland. Connecticut and Indiana,
according to the National Association
of Real Estate Boards.
North Carolina, where a license law
applying only to eight counties was
passed in 1927, now has plan before
the converting State Legislature to ex-
tend the law over the entire State.
In a number of States where license
laws are already in effect it is proposed
to amend the existing laws with view
to their better administration. The
Utah State Realty Association is urging
the State Legislature now in session to
amend the existing license law, pro-
posing that the administration be vested
in committee of three experienced
real estate men, rather than in the
State Securities Commission, now
charged with administering the law
The Colorado Association of Real Estate
Boards is asking the State Legislature,
now converting. to amend the State real
estate license law by applying the funds
arising from the measure toward the
administration of the law itself.
Amendments are under discussion in
California and Oregon.
The Mississippi State Real Estate
Association recently went on record
as being in favor of a real estate license
law. and is now making plans to bring
a proposal for one before the State
Legislature at an early session.
Bonding companies in the States of
California and Louisiana have lowered
the bond required of licensed real estate
brokers in those States. The rate has
been reduced twice in California and
once in Louisiana,
