AIR KIN OIL

WASHINGTON, July 6.-[P-Air
free and abundant as it is, is being
bought at high prices by motorists
because it is absorbed by gasoline
like a sponge.
The development of accurate
gasoline measuring devices, it was
revealed at the national conference
on weights and measures, is a baf-
fling problem dependent on a full
understanding of the peculiar mix
ing property.
A scientific explanation Of the
rate at which air dissolves in gas
cline and the uniformity with which
it permeates a gasoline supply is
needed, according to I. L. Miller.
commissioner of weights and meas
ures for Indiana.
The problem is acute in direct
pressure system where a large
amount of air Is absorbed by the
gasoline, freed when the pressure
is removed, but measured as gaso-
line by the device when doled out
to the motorist.
Under normal conditions air Is
absorbed by gasoline, but does not
increase the volume appreciably I'M
til pressures are eXerted and re-
leased.

CATALOC

HARLINGEN, July 6.-The cata-
logue Of the Valley Winter fair
will be off the press in less than a
week, and thousands of copies will
be mailed out to farmers and or
chardistS throughout the section.
This announcement was made by
John T. Floore. manager Of the
fair, who declared that the plans
for the 1929 fair are being pushed
rapidly, promising the greatest ex-
position in the history Of the VAL
ley.
The fair this year will open No

cember /.
Advertising copy and editorial
copy for the catalogue has been
prepared during the past few
weeks by Floore and o. u. Jarvis,
formerly with the Harrington Star.
who has been working with Floore
on the fair catalogue.
The book is to be larger than
those OF tie past, due to the in
crease in departments and prem
iums in each department. 1t will
show a well-rounded organization
with extensive classifications in
each department, and with special
attention given to community ex-
hibits.
Several thousand copies of the
catalogue will be sent to persons
outside the Valley who have indi-
Gated they will exhibit in the fair,
and will be present, Floore said.

protests descended on the White
House-almost over night.
Seemingly there was some effort
to determine whether they could
not be counteracted, for the first
announcement was that the How
Shall We Teach the Eighteenth
Amendment" program had been
only temporarily held up.
However, word quickly followed
that the campaign, as outlined by
Miss Suffer, had been definitely
abandoned.
The booklet about which the
storm ragged was locked up-some
versions are that it is to be burned,
to make sure of its utter destruc-
tion-before more than a few cop
les had slipped past the treasury

There was to have been a cam
paign Of posters, too, but that has
not passed the stage where tenta-
tive sketches were under considera-
tion-and is easier to drop.
AS DR.. Doran explains, none Of
the sketches rang the bell"

LAUDS VALLEY
SHOW HOUSES
Local Theaters Secure Re-
leases AS Early AS
Those of East

The fact that the Lower Rio
Grande Valley is anything but pro-
vincial and is far more up-to-date
than other sections Of the South
is demonstrated by the programs
of Valley theaterS, according to
Harry L. Sexton, who recently re-
t-rned from Washington.
1.-THE Valley theaters get the lat
est releases as soon as the larger
theaters of the Eastern cities" he
said. II frequently noted in the
advertising columns Of The Herald
during my stay in Washington that
the Brownsville, San Benito, Har-
lingen and McAllen theaters were
putting on the same releases as the
highest class theaters in the cap
itol city. In fact, the Valley the
aters sometimes secure these re-
leases in advance of the eastern
theaters.
"A feature which showed to
crowded houses in the east was
The Desert Sng,' presented last
week at the Capitol theater in
Brownsville, an all-talking movie. /
saw this at the Palace theater in
Washington, where they were
charging fancy prices, and the pre-
sentation Of the same feature in
the Brownsville theater was even
better than in the highest class
theater in Washington. The Des-
ert Song opened here only a few
days later than in Washington.
Il doubt if the Valley theater-
goers fully appreciate the service
Valley theaters are rendering. The
'talkieS' are almost unknown in the
cities of 10000 to 10000 in the east,
and in fact in no part of that Sec
ton do you find such magnificent
and modernly equipped theaters in
the smaller cities. Of course, the
theaters of the larger cities are
modern and play to large crowds,
but in no respect other than seat
ing capacity do they surpass the
larger theaters of the Valley cities.
Il had always had the opinion
that the eastern theaters secured
their releases several weeks in adj
vance of this section, and was
somewhat surprised to find that
Valley theater-goerS receive the
same service in this respect as
those Of the eastern cities"

premature advertising given to the
scheme by the doctors assistant,
Miss Anna B. Sutherland the
possibility that the White House
will nurse resentment against
Doran'S treasury superiors for not
knowing better what was going on.
The trouble started with the ap-
preparation, at the last session Of
congress, of $4,000 to be used by
the prohibition bureau for dry edu-
cational purposeS-the dry law
makers answer to an announce
ment by the Association Against
the Eighteenth Amendment Of an
educational wet drive.
BY education" the association
had not meant education in the
public schools; and neither, maybe,
did the dry congressman.
The money was turned over to
Commissioner Doran, however,
without any strings on it, and it
evidently was thus that he inter-
preted the congressional injunction
that it was to be spent educa-
~tionally.
The doctor, in turn, referred the
job of preparing the desired educa-
tional material to Miss Suffer,

That the work should have pro-
crossed practically to completion
without the knowledge of Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Sey-
mour Lowman, in general charge
of prohibition, as well as of Gus
toms and coast guard activities, is
surprising, for all accounts agree
that suggestions poured in in bales
from dry volunteers, from adver-
Using agencies and from miscellan-
eous sources the country over.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Lowman ap-
pears to have been oblivious to it
all.

wholly ignorant of the progress Of
events.
Commissioner Doran, Of course,
knew all about them, but may not
have been aware that Miss Suffer
had chosen the recent Atlanta con-
vention of the National Education
association as a desirable occasion
for the initial distribution of her
newly prepared booklet-"How
Shall We Teach the Eighteenth
Amendment?"-and other similar
literature, to the maximum number
of educators at once.
1t so happened that DR.. Doran
was away from Washington at the
time.
Miss Suffer thought it wise to
secure some advance publicity; SO
told the capitals newspaper men of
her plan.
American public opinion is pc
culiar.
Apparently friendly enough to
the $4,000 appropriation, when
congress made it, its response to
Miss Suffers announcement was
immediately hostile. Not exclusive

PRIZE HEN LAYS
INFERTILE EGGS

FLINT, Mich, July 1.-(P-Maid
of Flint. a prize White Leghorn hen
in the flock of the Kilbourn poul-
try farm, has given poultry scientists
a new problem to solve.
She produced 342 eggs in 365
days in the egg-laying contest at
Georgia agricultural college last
year, but few of her eggs will hatch
only II out of 100 this year.
Most Of her eggs have been infer
tile despite the frequent changing
of roosters. No fertile eggs we're
produced from several matings.
DR.. <. @. Kilbourn, her owner,
has enlisted the aid of Michigan
State college specialists in an effort
to determine whether Maid Of Flint
requires a different ration than
other hens on account Of her high
egg production or whether certain
physical conditions are responsible
for the Hinfertility.
