The body of Myron T. Herrick,
American ambassador to France,
babe goodbye to French soil today,
and aboard the Tourville, finest of
French cruisers, started the long
trip back to America.
Commandant j. M. C.. Atrial,
captain of the Tourville, accepted
his charge with moving military
terseness:
I'm the name Of my country I
salute the body of a friend Of
France. He is now in my charge
and will reach America safely"
The reception Of the body aboard
the cruiser was brief but impress

ried it to the Tourville's deck
from that of the gunboat Dolmen.
The Tourville's band changed
from Chopin'S Funeral March to

six husky French sailors lifted
the coffin shoulder high and bore

SlDElaGHTS
COMING TO CAPITOL

THE Broadway Melody" Metro
goldwyn-Mayer's first all-talking,
all-singing, all-dancing picture,
which will open at the Capitol
theater Saturday, is interesting
because its makers are reported to
consider it the best possible adj
vance messenger for their other
all dialogue films.
Those whose ears are close to the
tickings Of the hidden machinery
Of motion pictures have heard re-
ports about this particular film
for some time. First there were
the usual conferences. Would a
stage play OF musical comedy be
translated to the screen? Then
there was word that Edmund
Goulding had written an original
story with Tin Pan Alley" and
the stage, both behind the foot
lights and behind the scenes, for d
setting, and that Harry Beaumont,
who did Our Dancing Daughters, y
would endeavor to get motion sig
nificant to the eye and sound not
entirely unpleasing to the ear, out
of a cast headed by Charles King,
Anita Page and Bessie Love.
Apparently on the theory that
too many crooks can not spoil a
meal, when each is engaged upon
his special dish, James Gleason,
author of "Tc Zot GO0O ond sITh-
Shannons Of Broadway" and Nor
man Houston, were given the JOB
Of writing smart dialogue; and Ar
thur Freed wrote the lyrics and
Nacio Herb Brown wrote the music
for the songs, which include
Broadway Melody" You Were
Meant for Me-" and Love Boat"
A sprinkling of Technicolor was
adde, and a musical comedy chorus
was called upon freely. Then the
word sent out was that the COM
pany was more than ordinarily
pleased with its first all-talking
film. That their satisfaction was
well founded has been proven by
the overwhelming reception and
enthusiastic reviews given the pic
ture on its premiere at the Aston
Theater in New York City and It's
opening night at Sid Grauman's
theater IN Hollywood. Wherever
the picture has been shown it has
been accorded unlimited praise
pronounced the greatest talking
film ever made.

SEEK WALTON
LEAGUE HERE
Resacas More Valuable Than
Citrus Groves, Asserts
State President

"Resacas of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley if properly developed will
earn a larger cash return than all
the citrus orchards Of the section"
G. A. Wheatley, president of the
Texas division, IZaak Walton league
of America, told those who attended
a meeting here last night called to
organize a local chapter.
Ed A. MonSeeS was named chair
man of a membership soliciting
committee and another meeting was
called for next Thursday night at
the same place.
Members of the committee are
John Coffee, Charles Burton, Bob
Wells, Joe Putegnat, Hart Batsell,
G. Emmett Dodd, and w. L. Pen
dergraft.
More than $4,000, 900 automobile
tourists crossed the borders OF their
home state in 1928 and a like num-
Der toured within their own state,
according to figures compiled by the
census bureau" Mr.. Wheatley said.
These automobile tourists spent
more money than the combined val
ue of all agricultural products OF
the United States for the year.
IF Illinois, Iowa or any OF the
states in the midwest had your re-
sacas they would make a national
park of them and attract millions
of tourists to them annually.
ut would require comparatively
little work to make of them the
beauty spots they deserve to be.
Dredge them, plant trees along their
shores, seine out the undesirable
fish and stock them with fish native
to this country. Nh.
"Then in no time at all they would
be earning a larger annual return
than all of your citrus orchards"
Mr.. Wheatley, who serves the
Izaak Walton league without salary
and paws his own travelling expenses,
told of the fight made in the last
Texas legislature to pass the Hol-
brook bill closing bays on the coast
to seineing. This bill alone within
a few years will SO portect the fish
ing in the gulf as to add a valuable
attraction to tourists, he declared.
1.-THE Izaak Walton league pro-
notes any move which will conserve
any phase of outdoor life" said
Mr.. WheatIey. "Reinforestation IS
practiced in sections where needed.
Streams are freed Of pollution. Laws
are secured to change open seasons
on game where they are needed,
and many other such activities are
included in the program.
An effort will be made to COM
plete the Brownsville chapter OF
the organization in time for Mr..
Wheatley to carry the applications
to the national convention in Chi
cago in the middle or April.

spection of North Flood
way Levees

County Engineer w. O.. Washing
ton, accompanied by County Judge
o. c. Dancy left Friday morning to
make final inspection on the north
floodway, the dredging crews having
completed construction OF the leveeS

Colorado, the Rancho Viejo channel
and the Rio Grande leveeS.
The south levee Of the north
floodWay extends to a point in
Willacy county approximately seven
miles east Of Paso Real, and the
north levee approximately five miles
east Of that point. This will dis
charge the waters onto the King
pasture at a point less than eight
feet above sea level.
The flood control project was fl
nanced by remission Of part Of the
state taxes which provided the
basis for a bond issue in the amount
Of $1,500,000. Work was started in
1926, nearly three years having been
required to complete construction.
The north floodway is designed to
carry $4,000 second feet, the Arroyo
70, second feet and the Rancho
Viejo floodway. 5000 second feet.
Heavy levees have been constructed
the entire distance along the Rio
Grande from a point three miles
below FL Jardin district to the Hi

meet with the Hidalgo county river
levee system.
