English Citizens In
Fight To Save Town

BRIDGEWATER, Somersetshire,
England, Dec. 11-tPl-A desperate
fight to save this town lying low on
the plain Of Somerset from mum
dation was waged today by gangs OF
men and women.
Their conflict was not only with
the elements, which have threat
ened increasingly each day. but
with residents Of surrounding VII
lagos, who thought protective bar
riers BY the Bridgewater residents
was preventing the water running
off their own submerged lands and
houses.
The townsfolk professed sympa-
thy with the villagers. who had suf-
fered great losses and misery. But
they refused steadily 10 remove their
sandbag projections. maintaining IL
was necessary to confine the flood
waters to the present area and that
nothing would be gained from allow
ing the town also to be swamped.
There were several attempts by
the villagers to damage the towns
flood defenses.

LYFORD. Dec. 11.-Mrs. Volney
Taylor Of Brownsville. president OF
the Fifth District Texas Federation
OF Women's clubs, with an address
on protective Texas legislation for
women and children. and w. E.
Anderson. member Of the Interna-
tional Boundary commission. speak
ing on the Importance OF the Rio
Grande settlement. closed the 32nd
semi-annual convention OF the VAL
ley Federation held here Tuesday.
Before the afternoon session had
ended, almost 200 women repre-
senting clubs Of the Valley had reg
tstered as delegates, visitors and
officers. The invitation Of Mer-
cedes was accepted for the next
meeting place In May.
Mrs. Taylor discussed numerous
highlightS among Texas legislation
specially applying TO the welfare of
women and children. Laws on
marital unions. the new marriage
license and health certificate pro-
vision. the decree OF the legislature
making desertion Of family a felon
punishable by prison term, and
alienation OF affection law were
anon the legislation mentioned by
the speaker designed primarily to
protect the home interests Of Tex
as families.
Property Laws
The community property law,
right or a wife to own, purchase
and sell property in her own name,
and provisions regulating the sani-
tary conditions and hours under
which women and children may
work were among the other infor-
native points which Mrs. Taylor
brought to the attention Of the wo-
men.
II IS possible for women Of the
Rio Grande Valley to create the
sentiment needed for the purpose OF
bringing to final settlement pend
ing negotiations for division Of wa
tiers or the Rio Grande river. Mr..
Anderson advised club women in his
address. The Importance Of the is
sue to the Valley was emphasized
by the speaker. who set out that the
necessary decision entailed addi-
tional water supply from the river,
and final agreement with Mexico
on the subject.
The Valley seeks only TO protect
It's existing rights, Mr.. Anderson ex-
planned, based on the fact that the
American side Of the river has built
UP its right to additional water
supply.
He stressed also Importance OF
economy in use Of water, stating
that the Valley area Is most econ
omical in its consumption using
only 2 10 acre feet per acre. where
as the Imperial Valley used 4 IL
acre feet. and the Ell PaSo Valley
more than 3 feet.
