Judge Dancy's letter 70 the COM
missioners follows.
With $4,000 more bonding capa-
city out OF the 100000 authorized
but not issued, we are coming to the
end of u road program and. I am
sorry to say, we are coming TO the
end with some of the most impOr-
tant reads OF Cameron county not
paved. / would say that one Of these
Is the NEST important road Of all,
and that Is the Military road.
Every one Of our pumping plants
that supplies the IS water districts
in the county Is on the Military road
and we need the road paved in order
that the levcss can be maintained
efficiently and the pumping plants
protected. This road when complet-
Cd also will relieve quite a little of
the congestion on state highway No,

Has County Wide Attributes
While as a feeder road Ii has local
bearings. this road also has county
wide attributes. and I would say
that. considering the Importance OF
protecting the pumping plants and
the leveeS. a fair ana equitable adj
justment would be 70 pave this road
approximately so per cent county
wide and so per cent by the Browns
vile and San Benito precincts on an
equitable basis 10 be worked out by
said Brownsville and San Benito
precincts.
This road should be improved at
the earliest possible moment. The
most vulnerable spots in u entire
levee system are between the
Rancho Viejo Floodway and La Pa
Iona. and that is also the poorest
part Of the road system. Another
especially vulnerable spot Is from
Los Indios some two miles west; in
fact, we can safely gay that the
most vulnerable spots on the entire
levee system. so far as the river Us
concerned. are those gaps on the
Military road not paved.

Is from Barreda TO Point Isabel. All
this is paved but about II miles. ]

How Il Can be Done

AMOM ~ Nah III #UAAE
We can't build paved roads to
every mans door. but I feel that
II is our duty to the fellow out
away from the pavement TO 20 the
full legal limit in giving him
roads. and we could use this $780,
COO as a revolving fund and use ii
in gradings and structures TO give
the fellow away from the pavement
access to the pavement. and really
use Ii as a basis for giving this
county the most up TO date dirt
road system in the state.
Nov. you will want to know
how we will do this without raising
tax rates. Ever since I have been
in office. and in fact ever since
1918. the full Is cent tax has been
levied and I think should be levied
as long as there is any outstanding
5 1-2 per cent bonds. We have
heretofore levied this tax rate and.
regardless Of whether or not We is
sue these warrants. I shall advo-
cate the levy Of the full Is cent
tax. and the reason we can now
issue approximately $4,000 Is be-
cause of increased valuations and
because Of our having paid off a
considerable amount Of the bonds
heretofore issued under the Is cent
constitutional and statutory pro-
vision.
BY handling the matter as out
lined. no Cameron couny road war
ran would get out on the open mar
ket TO be peddled about TO ad-

THE TRUTH
 ABOUT CANDY
To Be Moderate Is Not to
 Gorge or to Undereat

A noted food authority states that attacks on candy lack a back ground of scientific insight. He re- minds us that in addition to sugar, the best candies and confections of the present day contain also many other foods. He enumerates nuts, milk, cream, butter, gelatine, choco- late, and fruits, as being used along with sugar in delicious, modern candies, and he says that good candy as dessert may become a whole some part of meal. Who, he asks, would deprive the world of one of its most delicious desserts?
 Science and common sense are restoring sanity to the nation to- day. Don't gorge. Don't undereat. Prepare a great variety of all healthful foods. Flavor these so that they will be delightful to the taste. Those are some of the pres ent-day precepts that will guide us ato a better diet.
 If dash of sugar will encourage your family to eat cereals, fresh, canned and stewed fruits, and milk in the form of milk drinks and milk desserts, then - in the name of health-use a dash of sugar. Try a dash of sugar when cooking vege- tables in a small amount of water, and you will be surprised at how much fresher, more colorful and more delicious the vegetables are. A little sugar sprinkled here and there throughout the meal will en- courage children and adults to eat the varied diet that is so necessary to health. Most foods are more de- licious and nourishing with sugar. Good food promotes good health. The Sugar Institute,

the southern, war torn country. After the last trip, the Milwaukee was ordered from the east coast to the west, traveling through the Pan- ana canal.
 Guns Keep Chinese Factions on
 On July 9, 1928, the ship left San Francisco bound for the Orient. Stopping at Manila in the Philip pine Islands, the ship proceeded to China. There the country was torn between warning factions of Chinese and the Milwaukee was engaged in patrolling the coast for the protec- ton of American interests endanger- ed by the warning of the different factions.
 While there, the local sailor saw rlenty of slirmishes between units of both Chinese armies and many times the guns of his ship were trained on land as a warning against encroachment on American possess *ions. The ship was never required, however, to take action against the Chinese because of the fact that the lowering mouths of the cannon were sufficient to stop and depredations started.
 Huck, who has been elevated to the rating of coXswain aboard the Milwaukee, described the conditions in China as being beyond belief. He stated that the only place that ap- peared to have sanitation or other rules to prevent the spread of dis ease, was Shanghai. In the other ports and inland places which he and his mates visited either in the line of duty or on pleasure trips, he stated, the people. are only slightly

SENATE MAY MEET
 WITHOUT A QUORUM
GentleInan's Agreement Reached
 to Enact No Business

Washington, Aug. Is R - An out a quorum present is in prospect for the first meeting after the sum- ineE recess on Monday.
 Hidden away in vacation retreats from coast to coast, the scattered membership of the senate apparent ly is going to accept the gentlemen's agreement reached by the party leaders to take up no business until September. Many of the senators already have sent word to their sec retaries that they will not return before September.
 The tariff bill, the order of bus mess, will not be ready on Monday. In their anxiety to get an early start m consideration of the house tariff measure, administration leaders in the senate limited the summer re- cess to that date, but the weather and the worries inherent in the tariff have upset their plan.
 The constitution stpulates thas neither branch of congress may quit for longer thar three days without the consent of the other. Last June when the summer recess was taken the senate asked for a vacation until August 19. The house agreed and took one until Septmber 23, so, the senate must meet on August l9 and every three days thereafter. The house will not be in session to ex- tend the senate holiday.
 The weary members of the senate finance committee who have been meeting long hours daily throughout the summer believe they will have the house tariff measure revised to their liking by early Septembr, but certainly not by next Monday. So apparently it is going to be i'm material whether a quorum is pres ent. Senator Watson of Indiana, will move for recess soon after the senate reconvenes. A motion to ad- Journ takes precedence and in view of the agreement, no attempt to take up other business is expected.
