Annual Need Of Highways

The state highway commission has let il be known
that IL the program Of highway development is to
be speeded UP to meet the general demand, "the an
nual income Of the state highway department from
state sources ought under no circumstances to be less
than s30,OO0O00"
In addition to this the highway commissioners said
the people of this commonwealth have an investment
Of not less than 81! 900 in motor vehicles and
Shat these are Of value to their owners in proportion
TO the condition OF the highways or roads over which
they are operated.
These commissioners OF highways take the posi-
ton that material reduction in the motor vehicle
license fees will seriously cripple the work Of the de-
partment and that so per cent cut would be ruin
Gus"
They advanced the argument, that the people are
tration fees. but are seeking good roads and properly
manned highways. There is another side Of the pic
kure. according to the lawmakers. They say that the
owners Of motor vehicles are demanding a sweeping
reduction.
They say that the highway department has ex-
pended Ss6oOo00o in two years and five months and
instead Of a fund shortage they have approximately
tl5.OO0.000 in the treasury stronghold subject to
check.
II is said the figures were prepared. by request of
course. BY State Treas. Gregory Hatcher. Texas is
an empire state. In area it is as large as New Eng
land and New York and a slice Of Pennsylvania
thrown in for good measure.
1t takes a lot OF money to build highways for the
people Of an empire commonwealth almost as large
as Germany.

It is doubtful II anyone today can vision the I'M
portance of an international airport to the future de-
velopment Of the Valley.
Air mail volume handled by lines operating in
the United States during May surpassed all former
records. weighing 5s7. All pounds, according to report
of the United States ~postoffice department.
Lines operating out of the Valley made a con-
siderable contribution to this volume, according TO
the report of Postmaster G. w. bennett which shows
that 3ss7 pounds of mail we're handled through his
office during the month.
An official OF the department Of commerce, which
Is in charge of aviation in the United States, at a
conference in Houston recently forecast that within
five years all first-class mail will be carried N air
planes.
These figures indicate that prediction will be
realized.
During May planes carrying mail in the United
States flew an average Of S6,S34 miles daily and car
ried an average Of 1880 pounds per day.
The poundage surpassed even that carried last
December, when Christmas mail raised the total 10
$4,000 pounds. The May total surpassed the figure
Tor April by 1879 pounds.
Delay in the transmission Of mail between the
United States and Central and South American
points always has been the chief stumbling block 70
development Of business with these countries.
Line now operating bring New York City and Mex
eco City in as close communication as New York City
and St. Louis were before the days Of air mail. Even
more important savings in time soon are to be made
between Eastern United States points and Central
and South American countries.
Practically all this business eventually will flow
through the Brownsville airport.
AS important as aerial commSUication is between
cities Of the United States. even more important will
be the service between cities Of the North and South
American continents.
It is no far-fetched dream to vision the day when
hundreds Of planes monthly will leave the airport
here for points to the south and return from the
same points.
Then thousands Of passengers will be going
through here to and returning from points as far
south as the Panama Canal and beyond.
Emergency express shipments Will be handled to
all South America
The international airport will be a beehive Of in
dustry and the air will be filled with planes flying
north, south, east and west.

The Once Over

BY II. Z. PHILLIPS

delivered to a girls college after the manner Of
Prof. Rogers recent "snob" talk to the boys at Mas
sachusetts TECH.
Ladies Of the graduating class: You are about 70
leave these c~loisters and 60 out into the cold world.
Your paths will be varied. Many Of you will become
wives and mothers. Some Of you will become secreta-
ries Of state, advertising writers, lady stock brokers,
interior decorators and assistant attorney generals IN
charge Of prohibition enforcement. Others will be-
come channel swimmers members OF sister acts in
vaudeville. trapeze performers and chow-dog fancers.
Practically all Of you win become terrible bridge play
ers. At such a time as this a little serious advice from
old cookoo is not cut of order.
BE crazy about yourself. Remember, where you
are personally concerned the best IS none too good.
Be vain! Be priggishl Be impossible! You will
find it Just as easy to marry the boSss son as his Of
flee boy. Easier, If all I hear is true.
office boys never stay awake long enough for
you to interest them in the proposition. Even should
you hold an office boys attention a little and send
him for the marriage license he would either forget
it entirely. or be gone a week or two and return with
a pot Of glue or a pair of shears or something else by
mistake. The chances are he would never come back.
Office boys are like that. But bosses sons retain
better. They will get the idea quicker. BY all means
get yourself a bosss son.
Dress. speak and act like a lady. Get your hair
done three times a week. Never buy a frock without
an extra pair of brevities. Never wear the same
pearls at night that you wore all day at the office.
Keep your white shoes whitened.
Belong to the best clubs, seek the company of
women who amount to something, women who have
made good. like Mrs. Gam, Maureen circuit and
Helen Wills. Believe that you are in every way big
ger and better than the working girls. Remember
that it is up to you to take the rule away from the
night club hostesses. the George White chorus girls,
the Western Womens Professional Baseball Nine, and
the Lady Cyclists Club.
Never 60 motoring with strangers below you So
cially. Do not neck with persons whose financial
future is not we'll established. Avoid parking in the
cheaper priced cars. 1t is just as easy to win him in
a Mercedes as in a Chevrolet.
do not allow yourself to be rescued at fires BY
firemen you have never met. Wait for the man worth
while.
With these few words, I close, thanking you for
your kind attention and assuring you that If elected
I will solve the farm problem and give a living wage
to ALL"

Dovie had spent two hours get

appeal Of girlish innocence.
There was a little old wolfe dress
with a bow matching the blue in
