New York, Oct. 22 LP)--A crowd of nearly 10000 contributors to the Palestine relief fund found that charity and sheer pleasure can he combined when it is an all star box ing card that draws upon their pocllotbooks.

 The charitable fight faithful d. most filled the Garden and brought a gate of $10l,000 for the relief fund.

SEEK TO Curb
BANK CUTTING
OF RIO CRANDE
P~erplexing Problem
May Be Solved By
Structure Recently
Completed

CURLING of the Rio Grande, which
for centuries has been cutting new
channels through the alluvial soil
Of the delta country, has, since the
advent OF irrigation development,
been one Of the outstanding prob
lens for Valley engineers.
In centuries past the Rio Grande
has wandered all over the delta
country, the flood waters cutting
numerous channels, evidence OF
which can still be found in old re-
SacaS, eSterOS and arroyoS on both
sides Of the international stream.
The tremendous floods which
swept down the watercourSe in pre-
historic days, depositing the count
less millions of cubic yards of silt
which low -0rm the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, swept aside all OBJ
Structions and formed a compare
lively straight channel. These flood
decreased through the ages, and in
the recent geological periods
formed winding channels. ever
changing as the stream erOded the
soft alluvial banks.
During the early pioneer days on
the lower border little attention was
paid to the vagarieS of the stream,
its changes and its WanderingS. The
earliest geographerS mentioned the
fact that the lower reaches were
extremely tortuos,' and the logs Of
the steamboat captains during the
days Of river navigation showed that
the distance from the Brownsville
wharveS to the mouth of the river
varied from 90 to 10 miles, though
the distance by air line is approx
mately "a miles.
Channel Changes Constantly
Constant changing of the chan
mel, due to erosion Of banks, was
the primary cause of the wide dis
crepancies in the logs of the river
captains. During the flood periods,
when bank cutting is most pronoun-
ced, the distance to the mouth OF
the stream, following the channel,
would often increase or decrease as
much as 20 miles in a few days.
From Mission to Brownsville
practically the same condition OBJ
tains as from this city to the mouth
of the river. There is hardly a
flood that does not form one or
more "bancoS' either on the Amer
lean or Mexican side, a "banco" de-
signaling that area formerly in a
river bend which has been trans
ferred to the opposite of the stream
by the river cutting through the top
of the bend. Fortunately for both
American and Mexican land owners
the tendency of the stream is to
work southwark, and in the twen-
ty years the international boundary
commission has been in existence,
approximately 80 per cent of the
"bancoS' have been formed on the
American side.
Presents Serious Problem
With the advent Of irrigation and
rapid development of the agricul-
tural resources Of the Lower Rio
| Grande Valley, the problem Of eli
minating this tendency Of the
| stream to form new channels, be-
came one of the most perplexing
Valley engineers were called upon
to solve.

WILL DISCUSS
RIVER TREATY
American Section Internal
tional Commission To
Meet In April

A meeting of the American sec
ton Of the international water COM
mission, composed of Elwood Meade,
head of the U. S. reclamation SER
vice; General Lansing H. Beach,
former chief Of army engineers; and
w. E. Anderson, Valley engineer Of
San Benito, will be held at Wash
ington early in April for the pur-
pose Of assembling all data collect
ed on the Rio Grande, Colorado and
Tia Juana rivers in connection with
the proposed negotiation of a treaty
with Mexico on the distribution of
the waters Of the international
streams.
A second meeting is expected to
be held on the border the latter
part of April or early in March with
the full commission present in
which the American and Mexican
members will discuss drafts for a
tentative treaty. 1t is understood
that when this work is completed
each section will present to its re-
Spective state department the result
of their findings, conclusion and a
tentative draft of a proposed treaty
between the two nations governing
distribution Of the waters Of the
Rio Grande, Colorado and Tia
Juana.
No definite date or place for the
two sections has been announced,
further than it probably will be at
some point on the border. DR..
Meade is understood to be in COM
munication with the head of the
Mexican section, and definite ar
rangements for the final work of
the commission are expected to be
made at the Washington meeting.
Practically all surveys Of the three
streams have been completed and
a study made by both the American
and Mexican members relative to
the water problems of the various
sections. Both the American and
Mexican governments have evil
denced a desire to arrive at an early
agreement in order to set at rest
all controversies concerning inter
national waters. and it is believed
that with the work Of the interna-
tional commission completed there
will be no delay in negotiating and
ratifying a treaty.
Valley irrigation leaders express
themselves as greatly gratified over
the rapidity with which the water
commission is bringing the matter
to a head. and express confidence
that the treaty that will be nego-
tiated will assure a fair distribution
of the waters of the international
streams. They assert it will be the
basis upon which future develop
ment of the Rio Grande Valley will
be established through conservation
Of the waters of the Rio Grande.

RAINS AID TO
VALLEYC0TTON
Prospects of Crop Bright,
Ginners Association
Official Ayers

SAN BENITO, March 23.-The
recent rains over most of the Rio
Grande Valley have materially en-
HANGED the prospects for the 1929
cotton crop, according to Sam Bolts,
executive member of the Rio
Grande Valley Ginners Association.
Mr.. Bolts pointed out that the
rains have done a great deal toward
getting the ground in a receptive
condition for planting and stated
that farmers are going ahead with
their plans for this years cotton
crop although in many cases the
planting will be late.
He said that conditions existing
in the cotton trade point to a good
price for the 1929 crop. The gov
eminent ginning report proved dis
appointing to the trade and this,
combined with heavy mill takings,
light c%arry-over and a strong for
eign demand, is tending to drive the
market up at the present time
and good prices should continue
throughout the 1929 season.
w. B. Francis. vice president of
the ASSOCIATION, pointed out that the
cotton crop has always been the big
crop Of the Rio Grande Valley. He
stated that for the vast ten years
the cotton crop has brought more
money than the next two crops
combined. He also said that the ex-
ceptional grade and stable of the
cotton raised in the Valley has al
WAYS demanded a premium with
cotton firms and that for this rea-
son cotton will continue as the basic
croD.
Mr.. Bolts said that while no ac-
curate figures on cotton acreage are
vet available, every indication points
to the fact that it will not be
heavy enough to offset the extreme
ly light carry-over and should the
heavy FOREIGN demand continue
along with the heavy domestic mill
takings. cotton should prove a valu-
able commodity this year.
The association has been actively
ENGAGED in a campaign to better
cotton conditions in the Valley

ATTACE1E HERE
PRAISES CITY
Sr. Bejarano, New York Ed
ucator Tells of Work
Done In Mexico

ST.. Jose Miguel B%ejarano, for
many years educational attache OF
the Mexican government and organ
izer Of the Mexican Chamber Of
| Commerce, was in Brownsville Fri
day, en- route to Mexico City, where
he will visit for the next 10 days.
Bejarano recently was made COM
mercial attache and will open OF
fices in both Washington and New
York. He said, however, that he
will keep up his educational work,
and will continue to travel over the
United States, lecturing before uni
VerSity bodies.
IN The new attache has lived in New
York for the past Is years where
he is well and favorably known. Last
year through his efforts. the Mexl-
can-German chamber Of commerce
was established.
Schools Increase
In speaking of the educational
work accomplished in Mexico dur
ing the Gales regime, Bejarano
quoted a few figures which reveal
dlIIdAlIlS pAOSiCoo - ILLS ANAN' -
+, follows:
The percentage of illiteracy in
Mexico dropped from 50 per cent
in 1920 to g. per cent in 1928.
Rural schools increased from $50
to more than 5000 during the five
year period. In this connection, the
educator said it was the idea of
President Gil to have as many
teachers as soldiers. There are now
1000 teachers in the country. The
school population is 1,750,000, more
than 10 per cent Of the total popu-
lation.
The University of Mexico City,
oldest school on the American con-
tinent, established in 1851, has an
enrolment Of 10000 students, As
per cent of whom are women.
Praise for Airport
Each year this old university Of
ferS a summer course which attracts
some 400 teachers from the United
, States. Last year, Texas led all
states in the number Of representa-
tives there.
Bajarano praised the enterprising
citizens of Brownsville who con-
ceived and erected the international
airport. Il know it will make
Brownsville the real Gateway
City to Mexico, because the most
direct route is through here. be-
cause you have airport facilities
matched by no other border city,
and because mail and passenger
lines already have been established
here.
Il know that is true because the
whole world is turning to aviation.
1 am a old enthusiast myself, GnL
although I don't have a license for
flying now, 1 had my first expert
ence at it in 1911. I am flying
to Mexico City tomorrow with the
Mexican Aviation company mail
plane.
Visits Valley
The revolution-no, let us call
it a rebellion, unjuStified highway
robbery and plundering. 1t cannot
succeed. The United States has
proved its friendship for Mexico
during the present political situa-
ton and Mexico is grateful.
Il might say wen that my ap-
pOintment was due to President
Oils program of fostering this clos
er commercial relationship between
the United States and Mexico"
BeJarano is accompanied by ST.
M. H. Rodriguez, Mexico district
manager of the Wick Chemical
company of New York.
While in Brownsville Bejaranc
and Rodriguez were shown over the
city and Valley by ST.. Lopez Mon
tero, the Mexican consul here.
