: MEXICO'S PRIVATE WAR will
,, not halt Inauguration of the air
r. nail service between Brownsville
: and Mexico City on March 9, &C
:. cording to George Rihl, manager OF
+ the Mexican Aviation company
! now in Mexico City.
Rihrs telegram to the Brownsville
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
allayed apprehenSions that inaugu-
/. ration of the service would be held
mp pending settlement Of the politi-
Z cal dispute which is being arbi-
trated with rifles and machine
guns.
So far as can be ascertained no
trouble has developed east of
Nueyo Leon nor west Of Orizaba,
and the route of the mail planes
will be over territory where all is
serene.
R1HL'S TELEGRAM renewed
activities in connection with the
celebration which will mark the
dedication of the municipal airport,
inauguration of the air mail and
Captain Eaker'S dawn-to-dusk
fight to the canal zone.
Brownsville is making prepara-
tions to entertain huge crowds
both days, and they will be enter
tanned as never before. The air
"circus" will be an event such as
the border country never before
witnessed. with scores Of army and
civilian planes participating.
ONE ADVANTAGE OF the air
'circuS," City Commissioner j. A.
Cobolini points out, is that a ring
side seat is not essential to full
enjoyment Of the show.
The sky is the stage; and the
performance can be watched and
appreciated from any distance
within which the planes are Wis
ible.
Provisions have been made at the
Brownsville airport for parking
space for over 5000 cars. Many of
the cars will park from a quarter
to half a mile from the landing
and take-off areas, but the occu-
<tntS will have the same advan-
nH2as the ring seaters."
at is the decided advantage of
afS air Circus" The women can
ear their hats if they so desire, and
nobody in the back rows will be de-
manding down in front"
ORANGE and grapefruit trees are
In bloom throughout the Valley.
The air in the vicinity of large
groves is heavy with odor, wafed
over the entire area by the Gulf
breezes.
However. in some sections the
cabbage fields are contesting with
citrus groves for the privilege Of
the air.
There is marked contrast be-
tween the odors of a cabbage field
and orange blossoms, especially on
a warm evening when the odor
emanating from the cabbage is
heavy.
GIlQ HAVE
noticed and commented upon this.
The eyes Of the Milwaukee gentle
man will glisten when passing a
cabbage field, while the counten-
ance Of the Bostonese will become
gloomy, these expressions to re-
verse when a blosSoming citrus
grove is reached.
THE VALLEY long has enter
tanned an ambition TO become FAM
Gus as winter resort.
Citizens Of the section generally
are agreed all that is needed is to
inform the world at large about
our salubriouS climate.
The coming air mail celebration
offers a million dollar" opportun-
ity to spread the word throughout
the land.
The idea belongs to V. A. Phil
lips, Point Isabel Development Co.
salesman.
1T IS THIS:
Wear straw hats and light suits
during the days Of the celebration.
Let the women appear in light
summer clothing.
News Reel cameramen, here to
take pictures of the ceremonies will
be compelled to picture the throng.
Appearing on theater screens
throughout the land the pictures
viii tell a forceful story Of our
c.i,nat2.
An Using that could not be
bougffcY
Worth going after.
FREE PARKING SPACE will be
available in abundance for visitors
who motor to the airport celebra-
tion, through the generosity Of G.
w. Burlingame. operator Of the
Gulf Breeze Service Station on the
highway near the municipal field.
The 50-acre tract north Of the
airport had been leased by him.
He planned to sell concessions to a
carnival company. also to charge
for parking space A nice profit
was in sight for him.
CITY COMMISSIONERS heard
about it. Had a talk with Mr..
Burlingame. He agreed to relin-
uuish his claims to the tract. Now
parking space will be free.
The Singer Realty Co., in con-
troll of the tract, hearing OF Bur-
lingame's agreement. released him
