THE GLAMOUR and romance OF
Gar turns to grim suffering and
utter disappointment when seen at
best hand.
This lesson has been learned by
>.uree Texas boys. according 10
associated Press dispatches from
On1 a the trio, back on United
t;ates soil after narrowing exper-
,nces. related a story Of how an
yer talkative companion had
.aused him to be held captive by
Mexican rebels, nearly starved, al
most mobbed, and finally reprleved
from death sentence.
\ His two companions still were
held captive by federal forces IN
.Juarez. but had been promised re-
lease and safe conduct to their
homeland.
They entered the rebel army
"j,,st for fun" But their fun turn
ed to grim reality.
AS any veteran Of the World war
would have been glad to tell them
IL would do, If they had cared to
ask.
DETERMINED to remove once
or all the menace Of rabies from
Cameron county, city and county
authorities are moving slow in their
campaign to exterminate mad
dogs" and potential mad dogs.
The ordinance on the subject In
force at San Antonio, said to be
the most effective in the state, Is
to be studied.
Then all towns in the county are
to be encouraged to adopt like rules.
Copies Of the ordinance have
been reuested of San Antonio by
the county health unit and by
Mayor A. B. Cole Of Brownsville.
These copies are expected today or
Saturday.
The feature Of the San Antonio
ordinance is said to be that all dogs
in the city are required to be vacci-
mated against rabies before they
ean secure city license.
Dogs on which the city license
fee has not been paid are captured
and killed.
A model ordinance, including the
effective features of the San An
tonic law, will be drafted and all
towns in the county will be urged
to adopt it.
The county will cooperate in its
enforcement, according to County
Judge 0. G. Dancy.
There is need for haste. but it
also is necessary that the program
adopted be effective
Cautious haste iS heinp made
