NR. and Mrs. z. H. Kasey. the for

Valley lady. called on the engineer
Of this column today.
1t was about that affair between
d. c. Earnest and J.. 0. Ward, which
has caused no little stir in Mercedes.
Mrs. Kasey pointed out in the &C
count printed by The Herald words
which she said might mean any
thing" with reference to herself, DR..
Kasey and Mr.. Earnest.
The Herald intended they should
refer only TO the taking OF beer as
being Objectionable, and gladly
points this out with sincere apollo

IN fact, the engineer OF this col

Mrs. Kasey today said the art

do you realize those two words
could mean anything from opium

rITY fathers of Brownsville have
Il, issued a call for an election on
a bond issue of Sl50,OO0 for a
new filtration plant.
Reporters Of The Herald yester-
day Quizzed members of Browns
vile banking circles and found that
a number are not yet ready TO pass
on the present proposition.
In discussing this issue, The Her
aid wishes to call the attention OF
the public that ii Is a question which
should be given careful considera-
ton. Voting day is August 8.
State Engineer Ehlers, on his re-
cent visit 10 Brownsville, while
pointing out that our water IS not
dangerous from a germ-carrying
standpoint, said 1t Is not up TO STAN
dard in every other manner.
The present filtration plant is
too small, all admit. What is TO be
done about it is a matter for more
experienced heads to decide. but Mr..
Ehlers was not very complimentary
and said something had TO be done,
If a high rating is to be obtained.
MARSHALL c. Hoppin OF Wash
l ington. OF the department OF
Az agriculture, who recently inspect
ed the Brownsville airport, had o
nice things TO say about this city
asset, than one can shake a stick at.
He came to the conclusion that
with a little stroke here and anoth-
er there we would rank third in the
United States. That is just about as
high a rating as a city Of ten times
the size Of Brownsville could wish.
Or twenty times, for that matter.
Mr.. Gilmore, capable manager Of
the airport, will in all probability
see to the steps needed 10 gain this
reputation.

EvEN the simplest love story is a problem

ms convictions about divorce and his preach-
mentS against it for the sake of the woman he
comes TO Iowa woman legally separated from
her former husband
sincere, honest and intelligent both the story
makes its inner way through the conflict be-
tween love and the recognized duty imposed
by the ministerial calling. In its outer aspects
the story is Of the pattern of small communities
everywhere. The familiar division of mind
about divorce is manifest here In various nat
ural and interesting contacts calculated to bring
this matter to the front. And acuteIy curious
as the average Is, not long is there much of
doubt as to the state Of the young minister's
mind In respect to the fine young woman. so
clearly disqualified to be his helpmate. So Won
see, the problem is fully stated For its soIu-

ending to romance win set the factors this way

that he wants us to love. So without any
single word or gesture that might repel U.S. or
chill us, he invites and lures through the depth
OF his intimacy with books, through his own
love for them. william Lyon Phelps gives

which, by design, was made handy for the
ready and frequent reference that it offers for
all of US who need guidance through the maze
Of books In which we are likely to be quite lost,

THE FAMILY. BY Francois Mauriac Trans
lated from the French by Lewis Galantiere.
New York: Covici-Friede, publishers.
THE French are thriftily, forward-looking
people. Moreover, they have dissected the
emotion of love out of its Unfolding illusion
of permanency sngleness and other such mis-
leading qualities. These two characteristics
have directly affected their marriage outlook
and arrangements. Utility, not passing emo
ton, Is the foundation upon which marriage
Is arranged to the permanent pecuniary adj
vantage of the parties concerned. So when
Jean Peloueyre, dwarf and hunchback, looked
like desirable husband to the parents of the
pretty and good country girl, Noemi the parents
on both sides settled the matter and Noemi be-
came the wife of Jean. Such the foundation
upon which Francois Mauriac has built the
secret tragedy of two lives. Driven by tho
urgencieS Of love, conscious of his physical
ugltneSs, keen to the young wife's loathfng Of
his approach, Jean Peloueyre's heart becomes
the arena of the wide worlds torments his
daily life a tragedy of woes unspeakable. To
this situation Francois Mauriac stands the
master surgeon, laying bare the tattered nerves,
tracing the psychological and emotional sources
of so much suffering Then, Jean dies. And
the slow and submissive girl realizes, heavily,
that fidelity to this dead man Is to be her
humble glory. No, not pleasant reading. But,
better than that, it gives the thrill of seeing
an artist follow the lead of the subject he has
chosen in an utter disregard of beauty or de-
light, save the beauty and delight Of the very
spirit of truth itself. A terrible story if one
is looking for entertainment diversion. great
adventure If, on the other hand, one Is in
strict fidelity pursuing any one phase of the
great mystery, that of human existence.
