S. P. OFFERS
PRIZE AWARD
Carrier To Give $50 For
Name of New Train
Serving Valley

What IS a god name for a pas
senger train serving the Lower Rio
Grande Valley?
That's the question asked by John
4. Monroe, assistant traffic manager
OF the Southern Pacific Lines, who
has just announced the schedule of
a new train service between the
Lower Rio Grande Valley and Hous-
ton and San Antonio. And Monroe
makes it interesting for the one who
Will answer the question.
The new passenger train, cutting
more than an hour from the present
schedule on the Southern Pacific
between the Valley and Houston
and San Antonio goes into service
Sunday. While of course serving the
territory between these two cities
and the Lower Rio Grande Valley it
is chiefly a Valley train" and the
Southern Pacific is anxious TO give
1t some name that will link it close
~ with this section Of the state.
Beginning March Is and ending
April Is, a contest will be conducted
In Cameron, Hidalgo, and Willacy
counties to select a name for this
Valley train. Anyone. under the
rules, may submit a name, but it
must represent the Valley. Further
more, 1t must not contain more than
three words, preferably two, omit
ting THE, if used, and must not
refer to any one particular town or
community.
At the close of the contest the
Southmern Pacific will give a prize
OF $50 to the one submitting the
name selected by a d~isinterested
committee. The company, however,
reserves the right to reject any and
all names submitted, and in case
more than n person submits the
name selected the prize will be di-
vided equally. Names should be sent
to John Monroe, assistant traffic
manager, Southern Pacific Lines,
Houston.
The new service is just another
step on the part of the Southern
Pacific to carry out its determined
policy to render the most staisfac-
tory service possible to and from the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, and we
would like to have someone from
that part of the country give the
train a name that will help to not
only advertise the Valley, but draw
increased attention to this section
OF the state" Monroe sttaed.

 T didn't do anything" he in- sisted. but within . few minutes ne had admitted to Sergeant McCue that he had taken sums of money out Of purses. his scheme being to kneel in pews behind those in which women were kneeling and when their attention was centered on their prayers he opened the purses and extracted the money and other val- uables. sometimes leaving the empty purses in the seats and sometimes taking them with him.

SHIPS 0UTGROWING
 NEW Y0RK'S DOCKS
Giant Transoceanc Liners
 Crowd City's Harbor Facilities

New York, Jan. 23 @ - Ocean liners longer than the piers and too big for handling in any drydock available in the harbor are giving New York port interests something to worry about.
 Heretofore the Leviathan, Olym- pic and one or two other giants of the sea alone provided problems to handling their bulk in the crowded harbor, but now, with the two new German lines due in the spring, | British thousand-footer under con- struction and building of other large ships planned, the situation has reached the point where added and greater facilities must be supplied.
 The port of New York Authority several times has appealed to the legislature of New York and New Jersey for construction of a dry dock large enough to accommodate any vessel entering the port and for more docking facilities, especially on the New Jersey shore.
 The Leviathan and other vessels now must be sent to Boston for dry docking. causing an extra expense of more than $32,0O0 yearly and di- verting to that city since 1924 more than $1,000.0Co.. which would have been spent here had facilities been available.
 American shipping interests have expressed willingness to use such fa- cilitics. pointing out that under the federal customs law their vessels must pay 50 per cent duty on repairs made in foreign ports.
 Although foreign ships generally desire to overhaul in their home ports, 1t is believed the work upon occasion would be done here.
 Longer piers have been needed for some time, but difficulty Is encoun- tered in meeting this need because of opposition to narrowing the river waterways on which they are located.
 Several shipping companies have been investigating the possibility of building new port on Long Island.
