Speaki a ng of Sports


 With the request of Manager John Tutko to have the Sokol team in the playoff series for the city championship, practically all of the managers of the teams in the city are willing to get in.
 meeting of all those interested will be held in the office of the Herald Tuesday night immediately after the Industrial league game at Walnut Hill park or at o'clock. The managers can then discuss the prospects for the playoff series be- tween themselves.
 It goes without saying that it will be necessary to start right away in the eliminations because there are so many teams entered that it will take week of Sundays to even get down to the real championship caliber among the teams.
 At any rate, all the managers are asked to meet at the Herald office about o'clock Tuesday night to discuss the proposition. Some agree ment as to the method of play can then be reached.
 There has been so much criticism in past seasons about a certain few teams taking it upon themselves to play for the championship that it %A t@ ho nr1S thing to do to get all of the teams in the playoff and then a real city champion will emerge from the scramble.
 As we figure it, there are eight teams which have signifled their in- tentions of entering the playoff. These include kensington, Corbin Red Sox, Falcons, Holy Gross, Bur ritts, Senecas, Sokols and Tabs.
 A schedule of games can certainly be arranged whereby all of these teams can meet in a round robin series of home and home with the two last survivors playing a series of the best three out of five to de- eide the ultimate champion.
 There are 15 Sundays from now to the end of September and the playoff series ought to be easily played off by that time.
 The Seneca City league team will practice tonight at o'clock at Will low Brook park. All members of the team are asked to be on hand. The Holy Cross A. c. will hold an important meeting tonight at 5 o'clock in the basement of the Holy Cross church on Pennington ave- nue.
 Jim Lynch's Gasco baseball team will play the Hartford Gascos in the first game of home and home series at Walnut Hill park next Monday night.
 There will be plenty of rivalry In this game and the locals are by far the favorites.
 Bransneld, former Industrial league star and member of Landers team some years ago, was a spec tator at the games at Walnut Hill last night.

HOLDING CONTEST AT PARADISE PARK
Youthful Architects and DeSign-
 CTS Vie With Each Other

Youthful architects and designers vied with each other in a molding contest held at the Paradise park playground today under the direc- tion of Miss Hazel Sullivan. Ideas were original and varied in design. Beautiful home, picturesque land scapes and seacraft were most com mon. John Sellman and Julian Car raZza, teammates, were awarded the price for their reproduction of a club house and a golf course. Those intereSted in a municipal golf course might consult these juvenile artists when planning such a project,

Concreting Canals

Authorization Of bonds in the amount Of Sl,6Oo,e00
BY the voters Of the La Feria irrigation district marks
another step toward ultimate elimination, through con-
creting, Of wastage Of Rio Grande waters and dam
age 70 lands.
The Ia Feria district Is the third Of the major
established districts Of the Valley TO take this step,
the Pharr-san Juan-Alamo and Edinburg systems hav-
ing financed concreting by voting Of bond issues last
fall.
Among the smaller districts, the West Brownsville
system has been brought under concrete. the McAllen
system has concerted part Of its canals, and all OF
the new districts have provided for concretigg In their
bond issues. The willacy county district, which viii
be the largest in the world, also has financed eoneret-
ing Of It's entire distribution system.
Fxperience has proved the value Of concrete sys-
TENS, not only in preventing waste Of irrigation water
and damage 20 lands, but also in reducing irrigation
costs. In many respects the intangible value Of con-
crete irrigation systems Is very similar to that OF
highways. They return dividends in the form Of
greater efficiency, improved service ard lower opera
ton costs. California districts have established that
the direct returns in the form Of reduced operation
costs and high Development Of lands are more than
sufficient to carry the interest and sinking fund 70
retire the bonds. In other words, concrete canals, like
well constructed highways, pay for themselves
The rapid development Of the Valley has brought
cts water problems. problems which in periods OF low
flow often are serious. Conservation Is OF primary
Importance. But conservation does not apply merely
20 construction Of impounding dams to regulate the
river flow. Il also applies to distribution Of water
20 the land. Within a few years wastage Of Rio Grande
waters will not &c tolerated. and Il is obvious that the
Valley districts must make provisions to eliminate
that waste.
II Is true that in recent years the duty Of irriSa-
zion water has been increased very materially IN the
Valley. due "a improvement of systems and education
az water users. But with the moreintensive develop
rsent OF the older areas and with hundreds Of thou
sands Of acre in the new districts coming under de-
veiopmen.. II Is apparent that there must be further
Improvement in the duty of water. Several Valley
districts are now putting 70 beneficial use less than
rs per cent Of the water diverted from the river; the
eil-eoncrete systems are expected 10 prov so TO 30 per
cent efficient. In other words. the concrete system
will divert less than 50 per cent As much As the dirt
system 70 water the same acreage.
Irrigation leaders are predicting that within five
wears practically all irrigation water will be distrieut-
cd 10 Valley lands through concrete systems When
this Is attained the water losses will he reduced 70 the
minimum. damage TO lands from seerage viii cease and
land owners will be provided with irrigation facilities
which will permit intensive development upon a scale
without a parallel in the world.

Dean Taylor and His
Brilliant Work

A life OF service in a noble field Of endeavor, per-
haps the highest field Of usefulness, deserves recogni-
ton at all times. Students and ex-students of the
college of engineering Of the University Of Texas hon.
ored Dean T. U. Taylor at their annual banquet Sat
urday night.
IL was an suspicious occasion. More than unusual
Importance was attached because IL afforded oppor-
tunity. for the presentation Of a bronze bust Of Dean
Taylor to the university by the students, the ex-stu-
dents and faculty Of the college Of engineering.
Dean Taylor had completed 10 years of service to
the university and the presentation of the bust marked
the elimination Of a movement originated among the
students and heartily supported by the ex-students
and faculty and the college Of engineering to take
proper cognizance Of his long and faithful period Of
service.
Forty years Of servicel Pause for a moment and
think OF the material Dean Taylor has accumulated IN
this period, his experiences and his efforts in mould
ing the minds and developing the brains Of hundreds
who are known in the world Of endeavor as representa-
tives Of one OF the greatest professions.
Dean Taylor began with the university when II
was a baby. Properly speaking, he has been one Of
its mudsills and one Of its chief props. His life has
been given to the cause Of education and Texas owes
a vast debt to the dean and men Of his ealibre.
Men who have been developed and trained in his
department are found everywhere. There are Texas
engineers who have ridden to the highest peak OF
success.
It goes without saying that the dean Of the college
az engineering is widely known in the ranks OF the
profession as well as beyond the pale OF the profess
sion and among his most intense and enthusiastic ad-
mirers are found in the ranks Of those who came from
the college OF the university OF which he has been the
vuiIdinr hand as we'll as the directing head for many
years.

The standards Of American boys and girls do not
originate mysteriously or by accident, and are not ere
ated by original thinking. Experience and observation
each young people what are the actual standards of
their elders, and they initiate men and women they
most admire. II they see cynicism accepted by lead
ers in public and private life, no preaching will con-
vince them that honesty is the best policy. Our youth
is a mirror in which the older generation sees itself
truly reflected.
In the recent political campaign there were many
conflicting issues. But the American public had one
dominant concern-integrity in public affairs. Each
party was compelled to nominate it's hest man. The
strength of each candidate was public confidence in
his integrity, and the weakness Of each was his prcx-
unity 10 sinister influences.
The people sought a leader who could be implicitly
trusted. Political organizations fought for votes, but
seem 20 have changed very few. To an unusual degree,
votes for both candidates were votes Of confidence in
personal qualities and abilities.
Now that the campaign is over. many professional
politicians are seeking rewards for their party services.
Many o. these men never have been and are not now
personal admirers OF the successful candidate. They
took him on compulsion, and worked for him in order
to maintain their political positions.
The friends OF Herbert Hoover are not those poll
ticians who opposed him as long as they dared, and
then rode with him to victory. His friends are the
and who compelled his acceptance BY the party organ
ization.
One large fact stands out clearly. The nomina-
ton and election Of Herbert Hoover were due, not
chiefly to the astuteness Of professional politicians In
winning him votes, but to the confidence Of the Amer
lean public in his integrity and capacity. Mr.. Hoover
owes his loyalty to the American people, and not 70
political organizations.
