was used. Mrs. David, president,pre-
sided, and discussed the monthly topic
Developing the Ability to Enjoy Our
Art Heritage" Following is the sum
mary of her discussion: The city chill
dren have the advantage in visiting
museums and the opportunity Of see
ing many beautiful objects of art,
from all periods of history, on display
at various places. One of the funda-
mental problems of energetic young
people lies in this difference. Chill
dren living to-day in the rural dis
tricts are going to the cities and towns
TO take up their life work They are
going to live side by side with city
trained children who have had oppor-
tunities to love the beautiful. When
they realize these missed opportuni-
ties, will they accept their fates as
victims Of circumstances and demand
that the next generation be given
chance to profit by its art heritage?
We need not wait to see what action
they will take 1t will be too late.
Try now to improve conditions. Make
the opportunities Of Delaware chill
dren equal to those in the progressive
city schools. The sixth and seventh
grades discussed the lives and pictures
of prominent artists, presenting pic
lures made by the artists as they dis
cussed them. Miss Aker discussed the

misunderstanding of Mexican Gus
toms officials, Frank Turbey, OPP
orator Of the San Benito pumping
plant, and four employees were re-
leased Monday morning when Frank
Robertson, manager of the 1rrlga-
ton district, called on officials.
The men were arrested Sunday
night just across the river from the
San Beniio pump, after they had
gone over to bring back a pontoon
which had floated across. AS they
reached the Mexican side in an out
board motor, the men were sur
rounded by group of armed Gus
toms guards. The boat was placed
on a truck and they were taken to
Matamoros.
Turbey telephoned American
Consul H. H. Leonard Monday
morning, but when Leonard arrived
at the Jail he was informed that
Robertson had explained matters to
the satisfaction of Mexican officials
and the five men had been re-
leased
Some apprehension had been felt
in San Benito, since it was not
known whether the armed group
were officers

Must Be DESTROYED

AUSTIN, July 22.-(P)-Inspectors
Of the state department of agricul-

Port Arthur to check incoEiro'
ocean vessels to determine if any
Florida-grown citrus fruit is aboard
the ships. Orders to destroy all fruit
found were issued.
This action to present the spread

last week that a woman passenger
arriving at Galveston from New

possession several oranges purchased
in Florida, j. M. Del Curto, chief en-

sengers on board the liner Algonquin
had in their possession escaped
destruction at the port.

Reprisal Plan
On MexicoLaw
Unknown Here

Brownsville merchants Monday
denied any knowledge of meeting
being held in Del Rio by United
States business men to plan repri-
sails on Mexico on account Of the
plan which will require all workers
along the border to live in that
country.
Several Spanish language news
papers carried reports of meeting
reported to have been held and the
claim was made that representa-
tives had been present from all
points between Brownsville and FL
PaSO.
The Spanish language newspapers
also said United States business
men would request customs and i'm
migration officials to open all ports
of entry only between the hours Of
II m. and p. This it was ex-
planned in the articles, would pre-
vent persons who reside in Mexico
and work in the United States f1cIn
returning home at night.
A report from Washington that
United States officials would take
no notice of the new Mexican law
was taken to mean that officials
would refuse to comply with the
bridge closing request if it ever was
received,
