BAD WEATHER
SLOWS PLANES
Poor Connections On Air.
Mail Lines Result From
Widespread Storms

Adverse weather conditions have
~interefered to some extent With the
air mail schedules In and out O.
Brownsville since Inauguration OF
the air mail on March 9.
The south-bound plane Wednes-
day morning encountered a dense
fog bank below Brownsville and re-
turned to the port. leaving a Few
hours later. The plane from Mex
leo City, due TO arrive at I'D
Tuesday, was three hours late, the
north-bound plane being held here
for connections. Storms and bad
weather in the north, which de-
Iayed the Chicago plane into Fort
Worth, resulted in the mail from
San Antonio arriving here Tuesday
at z p. m. instead Of 2:05.
Mail plane pilots state that this
is the worst season Of the year, and
that reports of the ~postoffice de-
partment show more delays in both
plane and train mail occur in
March than in any other month.
Valley postmasterS and others
have requested a change in the bus
mail schedule between Brownsville
and Mission in order to give the
entire Valley better connections
with the air mail out of Browns
vile. The present schedule brings
the bus mail into Brownsville at
100, five minutes after the north
bound plane has lett the airport.
An effort will be made to bring the
bus into Brownsville not later
than noon, which will assure con-
nections with the northbound air
mail.
Residents On the branch line
using the air mail are required to
post their letters in time to catch
the night train which leaves Mis-
sion at 7:2O. The pouch is held
at Harlingen and brought TO
Brownsville the following morning.
Even this arrangement, it Is point-
ed out, gives the air mail en- adj
vantage in time saved on mail 60
ing north from Houston.
Interest in the air mail is de-
veloping rapidly, Postmaster @.
| Wilbur bennett stated Wednesday,
| and each day the volume Of air
mail from Brownsville and coming
in from the Valley Is increasing.

MEXICO MAIL
IS CONTINUED
Matamoros-Mazatlan Line
Expected To Be Re-
opened Soon

The Matamoros- Mexico City air.
mail line continues to operate on
schedule, with the exception of the
MatamoroS-M azatlan mail that is
temporarily cut off on account of
the revolution" said Assistant Post
master Mariana Reyes of the
Matamoros postoffice.
1.-The people of Matamoros are
using the airmail more and more
every day since the service was in
augurated. At first only a few
kilos of mail were sent out from
Magamoros but now bags of four
80, eighteen and twenty kilos are
~ uncommon" Reyes stated.
The alrmail service to Monterrey,
the northern industrial center of
Mexico. is the fastest on the sched-
uie. The mail leaves the Browns
vile airport at 10 a. m. daily, ar
irving in Monterrey at 1890. The
mail plane leaves Monterrey the
same day at / o'clock and arrives
In Brownsville at $3.50.
i think the airmail service be-
tween Matamoros and Mazatlan
VIII be re-opened in a few days."
ST.. Reyes continued.
The Mexican airmail stamps are
OF three sizes. There is a twenty
five centavos stamp that is used on
letters weighing 20 grams or less
in addition to the regular ten CEN
tavos stamp. The twenty-five
centavos stamps picture a Mexican
eagle flying v mountain peaks.
They are a light brown color and
have a pink edge.
The thirty-five centavos stamps
are the same as the twenty-five
centavoS variety except in color.
They are a light sombre green and
have a blue border. Only one of

About 700 years ago the settlers on the
northern bank Of the MoSkva River in Russia
decided they needed protection against the
various enemies who made occasional raids near
their city, and so they erected high wall about
one and one-hah miles in length. surrounding
their town completely. The wall was pierced
by five gates and Is high towers were built
along it at frequent intervals.
The entire population lived within these walls
and during the next few hundred years many

so much greater than that within that the old
Kremlin is now merely triangular island of

Com0nchoS Campfire Stories
Something About Cats

When man spread over the earth he began
to kill the grass -eating animals, too, for he also
is a meat-cater and much more able to kill
anything than any animal is. When he began
to do this the death rate among the wild
things began to catch up with the birth rate
and presently it passed the birth rate, so that
the number OF grass-eating animals began to
diminish
The Cat tribe kept right on killing, too so
that it was not long before man had to do
something to the cats in order to keep them
from killing meat. The rivalry had upset things,
and the cats had increased so fast as to en-
danger whole species of grass-eaters. Big cats
killed big game and little cats killed small
game until they both began to be scarce. Then
man studied the situation carefully and decided
that the world was no longer in need of the
killer tribes, which were the cats He went
Systematically to work to kill of the cats be-
cause he knew that if they were allowed to
keep on killing the grass-eating animals he HIM
self would soon be in want of food
The cats serve no useful purpose so that II
man and they can't both live on meat, the cats
must be killed. And that is what is coming to
pass In few years more the cats of all
KINDS, big and little, wild and tame will be
killed so the grass-eaters can live to furnish
meat for man.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-08-18

There once was a time, long ago. when cats
were very useful in the world, but times have
charged, and cats today are as out of place
as any animal well could be.
When the world was in a Wild state nature
provided great number of living things and
then to. make sure that this situation would
continue she set the birth rate little higher
than the death rate. This means that no
matter how many of a species die, there will
always be greater number of births than
deaths. This naturally keeps the species slowly
but surely on the increase, so that the time
would come when there would be too many of
that kind Of creatures for the amount of food
they could get and then, If no remedy were
provided they would all Starve
Nature remeded this by providing that some
kinds Of animals should eat grass and that
others should eat the grass-eatsrs And this is
where the cat comes In. Nature made a good
many kinds CT cats among them being the lion,
tiger. leopard, jaguar, panther mountain lion
or puma, lynx bob-cat. tame cats and several
others that were all very much alike In their
habits. cat is cat, whether he is big or
little, stripped or spotted, wild or tame for in
habits they are all alike.
If your tame cat is turned loose in the wilds
he will never miss a meal, for he can kill meat
Just as well as any lion or tiger and he will do
II IN exactly the same way they do.

Winds and Tembers

The windiest place in all the world is sweFt
by steady wind from June to September. Now
how would you like to live in place like that?
Not very well, Of course, and it's no wonder
that people don't live there very long. This
home Of the winds is in the valley of Sestan,
Persia The Persians regard 1t as a bewitched
place to be avoided
The winds of this valley are hot, dry and
irritating. They are so trying to the nerves
that only very stolid untemperamsntal people
can stand them. That Is why most of the
people found there are dull and lfeess. The
endless winds seem to blow all the energy out
of them.
Another place Of famous winds is in tine
barren Antarctic land, where the winds often
blow steadily at hundred miles an hour. Ex-
plOrerS tell us that these winds contain sharp
ice particles which sting and blister the seae.
The winds are so strong that they even eat out
the grain of wood. p
Did you ever notice how much effect winds
have on the temper of people? In places where
there are long periods of steady wind every
one becomes depressed and moody. Yet in
countries where there are high, brisk winds W
find the most vigorous, bold types of people.
Hot, dry winds are irritating. When such
winds are blowing, teachers in school have the
hardest time managing their pupils. During
these winds every one becomes quarrelsome and
all sorts of disagreements are likely to start
Just watch yourself the next time the wind
is blowing and see the strange effect that Q
special kind of wind has on you. e

THINKS ANTARCTIC
 IS HEALTHY PLACE
Elplafa Yld% Selh Pd,l
 Rs8iom x futlr Resort

London. June IL A-If Str Doug- las Mawson has, hts way in the ant arctic. the south pole ont day will te . health resort.
 Sir Douglas, who was on he scientitic sta6 of the 8hackleton ex- petition in 1907 and led the Aus tralaatan antarctic expedition of lsll.4l. has left London to make llnal preparations in Australia for a new exploration of the southernmost continent which he hopes will prove tho practicabtlity of colonizing that ics bound region.
 The government has lent him 6cott's old ship, the Discovery and officially the purpose of the expedi- ton iS to continue the charting of the Antarctic coasttine and to study the life and habits of the whale.
 However. Sir Douglas looks be- yond the immediate objective and regards his task as the first step in tho development of a new land. He h confident that colontsts will fol- low the explorer (as they did in the development of America). and that in 2 few years the polar continent will be dotted with fishing and nln- ing settlements.
 It may be q far cry from such rude settlements to the sort of thing one expects to zee in health resorts. but Sir Douglas sees nothing illostc- al in the thought of health resorts of the future being built there. The atmosphere of the pole. he points cut. is totally devoid Of dust and innocent of any kind of germs (which do much of their travelling on dust particles). The climate. in fact he asserts. is "the healthiest in the world" and the polar world a region of gorgeous beauty.
 Apparently the explorers enthus- tasm for south polar climate and scenery js the contagious sort, for before he left here he received scores of applications for posts with his expedition-several of them from women. His, reply to the feminine aspirants was:
 Not this trip. What we need on this expedition is men who have teen on similar expeditions before. Captain Davis wants sailors; want scientific experts"
 Captain J. K. Davis, Sir Doug- las second in command. will re main here with the Discovery until she is ready to sail in August. Sir Douglas will join the ship at Cape town.
