INLUCKH IN LOVE.
By Alice Judson Pealc

People who are unlucky in love are those who were unfortunate as not to learn how to love wisely and well before they were six years old, The quality of the child's love for his parents is echoed, reflected and refracted in all the intimate relation ships of his adult life.
 Only the child whose love for his parents has not held too many ele- ments of possessiveness, antagonism and dependence is likely later on to develop a satisfactory relationship

LINES CANALS
Brownsville System One of
First in Valley To Be
Placed Under Concrete

With five miles or main canal
lined with concrete and over five
miles Of concrete pipe placed in the
distribution system. the West
Brownsville irrigation district, serv-
ing the lands to the west and north
Of the city. ranks among the first
in the Valley to complete q prac-
tically all-concrete system.
The district. one of the smallest III
the Valley, erves approximately l.
zoo acres, practically all of which is
planted OF will be planted TO citrus
fruit. The holdings or the individ-
ual land owners are small. includ-
ing suburban homes OF many
Brownsville business men. The dis
trict also includes the Los Ebanos
farm tracts adjoining the city on
the north. all Of which arc being
developed as citrus fruit orchards
with homesites. the entire tract
watered through the pipe distribu-
ton systems.
The only part Of the canals not
placed under concrete are those sec
tons in which there was practically
no seepase. Tests Of the system
since completion Of the concerto
work indicate little water loss, and
practically all water diverted from
the river is applied to beneficial use.
Large paintings Of citrus fruit
were made III the district last VIM
ter and the acreage l. expected to
be materially increased this year.
Practically the entire area is resaca
land, admirably adapted for citrus
fruit culture.

pleted by the Valley Developments,
Inc. ON part Of the old Dishmaa

Admission Of the acreage into the

started Immediately. A complete

irrigation water to each 10-acre
block. Paintings we're started In
the early fall and development COM

This is one of the largest solid
blocks Of citrus fruit In northern

Sources Of Power

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-tR)-Termi-
nal railroading and switching may
be reyolutionized by a new type 90
ton locomotive being tested here by
the Illinois Central railroad.
The new locomotive, SmokeleSs
and noiseleSs. can be operated from
any one of three sources of power
overhead wires, gas engines, and
storage batteries.
Operating under trolley wires the
locomotive can haul from 40 to SO
cars. tests have shown. Using pow
or generated by its own storage bat
teries it can be used for switching
ears on tracks that do not carry
electricic current.
The locomotive is mounted on two
trucks. each provided with two cleo
trio motors. Two engines use gaso-
line ut the start. but when warmed
up burn oil similar to that used in
heating residences. The engines can
be used for traction purposes or TO
charge the batteries. The batteries
also can be charged from a genera
tor which operates when the loco
motive works under q trolley.
Changing from one source to an
other is merely a matter Of pushing
a button.
