ELECT BOARDS
ONSATURDAY
Valley To Name Trustees
For School Districts;
Few Changes Seen

Ballots were printed and voting
equipment was placed in the hands
Of election managers over the Val
ley Friday for the school trustee
elections to be held Saturday.
Shake-ups do not seem the order of
the day as many of the old boards
are being returned to office with
out opposition.
This is particularly true Of the q
districts in Cameron county where
no opposition to the county board
Of Lee r. Vance, DR.. j.. "A. Hockaday,
Francis M. Davis, Il. M. VignesS and
A. L. Brooks has cropped out. The
Brownsville independent district
also is returning old members to the
board in Harbert Davenport, Ike A
Dudley. j. S. Graham and O.. v.
Lawrence. The Brownsville election
will be held at the Old Grammar
school building on Ninth street be-
tween Adams and Madison.
Candidates names are placed on
the ballot IN THESE elections through
petitions signed by at least five
qualified voters in his district.
In addition to the trustee election,
Brownsville voters will pass on a
$4,000 bond issue TO be used for
remodeling Of the old grammar
school and construction of a new
siX-rOom ward school in Alta Vista.
This will take car of the growth of
the city for some time to come. it
is believed. The scholastic census
just COMPLETED here shows an in
crease 312 pupils over the previous
year. The 1929-2O census shows
4733 children Of school age as
against 4421 on the rolls for 1928
1929.
On addition to the regular in
crease next year, siX-years-olds will
be taken in the census under a new
state law. F. Z. Starck. secretary of
the district, points to these fac
tors in connection with the bonds
for the additional school room. He
also assures that values and rates
for 1929 would not be changed BY
the bond issue ss new valuations
would take care Of the bonds.

MANY CHANGES IN
 WOMAN'S JEWELRY
Days of Fancy PMerees of Gold
 and Silver Over

Paris. Feb. 9 (UP)-The French theory that a woman's Jewelry defi- nitely establishes her position in elegant and fashionable society has not been overlooked in the many transformations that have taken place in arts and crafts since the war. Jewelry itself had been mod ernized. Moreover. the flashing facets of cut jewels formed by prisms in all their angular and slanting reflections. synchronize perfectly with the trends of mod ern art.
 For a while at least, the days of fancy filigreed gold and silver and gem-encrusted jewelry are over Madame now must wear big clear stones set in cold platinum. rec tangles. cubes. triangles. in ame- thyst, emerald. aquamarine. rubies and diamonds. There are many points and acute angles in the new jewelry. There are flat surfaces that scintillate lights in the manner of a cubist painting.

nD(A ENDS BOUT
 IN FOURTH ROUND
Al Silea ind Bud hyla Will
 Problhy R Renltched

New York, Feb. 9 N-An unin- tentional foul blow. struck by Bud Taylor, has contrived to throw the current featherweight elimination tournament into . muddle.
 The foul, coming in the midst of a rally, ended 1aylor's ten round battle with Young Al Singer. of New Works East Side. in the fourth round at Madison Square Garde:l last night. The blow dropped Singer to the canvas in agony and the ref cree could do nothing but stop the fight and award the decision to Sing CT.
 In view of the unsatisfactory end ing of 8 promising slugging match there is possibility that the men will be re-matched. The bout had been planned as means of develop ing an opponent for Tony Canzonerl with the ultimate survivor to get a "shot' at the 126-pound crown now worn by Andre Routis of France.
 The fight was all even when Tay- lor's left hook, his best weapon. dropped into foul territory. Singer, fast and clever boxer. had held his own with Taylor in the first three rounds. The East Sider earn ed the edge in -he nrsr round when he clipped the Indianan on the chin with one terrific right and had him in distress at the bell. Taylor came back in the second round, spattered Singers body with rain of left hooks but took enough punishment in return to make the round all even. Singers defense failed in the face of Taylor's pantherlike rushes in the third round and the middle westerner took the session by a shade. The fourth round was 52 seconds old when the bout was stop ped.
 Singer. scaling 127 1-2. had a pound and a half advantage in the weights.
 A capacity crowd of close to 2o.- 20 saw the battle.

|D0G REMEMBERS
 DAYS OF WARFARE
Shy Of Barbed Wire Fence and
 Souvenir Gas Mask

Ware, Mass. Feb. g R-Behind the bewhiskered, quizzical face of Captain. veteran war dog. Turk memories of ravaged battlefields that ten years of peace have appar- rently left untouched.
 Cap. as his owner. Dennis r. Shea, state game warden. calls him. is a wire-haired griffon and a na- tive of France. No amount of grooming can subdue his shaggy brown coat, and he's spry. too. for an old fellow. Cap Is more than 13 years old.
 He has learned English well. He gravely escorts members of his family to store or church or theater but does not enter. And he re- turns afterwar1 to see them home. All this Cap has learned. but he has never learned to forget the war. even though 10 years is 8 long time in a dogs life. The horror of barbed wire and gas masks Is still upon him.
 Although barped wire is used hereabouts only to confine dairy cattle. Cap refuses to go near a wire fence. No amount of coaxing will induce him to approach one, for he still associates them with leaden hail and sudden death. All the bitter memories of those days when Cap served with the French Red Cross. braving shell-fire, ma chine gun bullets and gas to bring aid to his human comrades seem to be reused at such a time.
 Cap long since has grown a full crop of hair on the bald spot at the Lack of his head where the strap of his gas mask fitted. But he will never forget the associations of these symbols of war.
 When one of MT. Shea's sons brought home gas mask az a relic, 10 years after the war, Cap flew into a sudden rage. He bounced upon the mask and, before anyone could stop him. tore the hated thing to shreds.
 Cap has one weakness and per- haps it's due to one of the few pleasant memories of the wartime years. He is inordinately fond of doughnuts. Intriguing and various are his methods of wheedling this delicacy from members of the household.

COFFEE EAzENDAS | AGL0W WITH COLOR
Brazil Fields Turn Green as
 New Crop Grows

Campinas. State of Sac Paulo. Brazil. Feb. . R1Brazil's countless millions of coffee trees are now bright with the little green berries which will be picked next July. dried. shelled. and converted into teh coffee bean of commerce.
 Coffee plantations in the stats of Sac Paulo which produces moro than half of the Brazilian coffee crop. have something Of the appear ance of Iowa and Illinois cornfields. The trees. four in a group. are planted in rows at intervals of about twelve feet. These rows run on endlessly over gently rolling hills of soil that is redder than the red hills of Georgia.
 Most of the coffee fazendas have an immense acreage. Individual owners have as many as 4.000.000 trees. Where the railways run through rolling prairie country it is not unusual for train to pass for hours through coffee fields. Many of the estates have their own small railways to handle their crop.
 Strangely enough to North Amer ican eyes. Indian corn often is planted between the rows of coffee trees. It affords shade which pre- vents grass from growing among the rows and provides feed for the small, sleek mules that constitute motive power for the fazendaS.
 Most of the large coffee planta- tions keep their trees cut to Q height of about 1. feet, and the four trunks standing together pro- vide compact mass of dark green leaves which give heavy shade to the berries growing along their branches. At this season it is im- possible to see the little green ber- ries at any distance.
 Like apple trees in the United States, coffee trees seem to do best on gently rolling land which drains well. and on hillsides which arc capable of cultivation. Coffee trees seldom appear in bottomlands that are not high above water courses. While coffee is grown near sea level in Brazil, the great estates arc practically all on plateaus nt least 2.000 feet high. where the cooler climate is more favorable 10 development of the crop.
 Santos. the chief port of the state Of Sac Paulo. handles GO per cent of Brazil's coffee crop. The coffee goes first to Sac Paulo, the states capital and railway center. and then is shipped down to sea level at Santos over q cable railway which drops 2,700 feet within a dis tance Of seven miles.
