AS powerful federal armies con-

stronghold at Torreon. the revolu-

Coming CLOSELY on the heels OF
the action on Naco in returning to
government allegiance, a breach
between the authorities took place
in Aqua Preita and it was uncer-

this was offset by reports from

Lone Eagle Orders His
Personal Airpl ane
Made Ready; Will
Leave at 9 A. M.

For the second time with
in a week Colonel Charles
Lindbergh arrived at the
Brownsville municipal air
port from Mexico City.
The lone eagle landed at
the airport today at 2:35 on
the tri-motor passenger-mail
plane Of the Mexican Avi-
alton Co., a subsidiary of the
Pan-American.
A few minutes after his arrival,
Col. Lindbergh denied any know
ledge of the four planes en- route
here to be employed in the service
Of the Mexican federal government
for war on the rebels. He -lso flatly
denied runors that he himself
would fly one of them back. He
added that the information given
him here was the first he had re-
ceived that the four planes were
being taken into Mexico.
The Colonel then issued orders to
have his plane in readiness for a
take-off at a. m. Friday.
Passengers arriving were: j. B
Ferrell, Louis Brulay, F. P. Fest, Al
bert Levy, P. Avanaran, E. Cara
and George RichterS. 1t also was
learned that Lindbergh piloted the
plane all the way from Mexico City
1t had not been announced that
Lindy would arrive this afternoon
but the information had leaked out
sufficiently that a-crowd of approx
mately 1000 was on hand as he
alighted from the plane.
AS usual, there was a great cheer
when the hero c1ambered out Of the
plane.

Misguided Courtesy

Press agents told OF how two women who had per-
nitted two strange "hitch-hiker' men to ride in their
car across a sparsely settled section Of Colorado and
Kansas were found beaten and abandoned in a Kan
sas pasture.
Frailty Of the human mind, rather than conditions
brought by the advent Of the automobile is response
BILE for the opportunities criminals have in such cases
as that described in the Kansas press report. Why
two women would permit strangers TO enter their
automobile On a lonely prairie is a question we pass
along to psychologists.
Thousands Of persons are picked up daily on high
ways, and in most instances no harm results. Yet,
the risk is too great. Crimes committed by persons
who have accepted the courtesy Of motorists are fire.
quent, and some OF them are Of the most atrocious
type.
It was not many years ago that the principal OF
a high school in a southern state was dubbed to death
by three young men to whom he had given a ride in a
sparsely settled district. The ~foot-sore travellers re-
paid the man who had extended the misguided
courtesy by taking his life. True. two Of the young
men paid for their crime with their lives. and the
third was given a life sentence, escaping death be-
cause he turned states evidence.
But that did not end the hazardous habit Of CIV
ing rides to strangers. nor did the punishment OF the
criminals end attacks made upon motorists.
Thousands OF unfortunate persons walk along the
highways every day. many Of them forced to walk
because they haven't the price Of bus or train fare
Most Of these pedestrians are honest, honorable per-
sons. but there is nothing to distinguish them from
the thug. the crook and the dead-beat. .
So. the only safe plan is to ignore those who at
tempt to bum their way along the highways. Mis-
guided courtesy has cost numerous men and women
their lives. II motorists will learn the lesson of re-
fusing rides to all persons to whom they would not
lend bus or train fare. the highways soon will be
cleared OF deadbeats and criminals who depend upon
sympathy for their transportation.

Pecans

Pecan condition reports for August Of the federal
government indicate a crop slightly over so per cent

Texas promises the best Texas yields.

Improved trees show much better fruit than ma
