7. NJ. LAWSON, American member
of the Observation-Disclosures water
commission has asked sl5O,OOO
TO be used in making a preliminary
survey OF the river in this section.
This is the result Of q recent Wis
4. to the Valley by Mr.. Lawson and
consultations with those interested
in the handling and disposal Of the
waters Of the Rio Grande.
As the Valley grows and develop
r.ent increases on the Mexican sloe
distribution and control OF q Rlo
Grande supply will become n OF
tie major projects OF the valley.
While there Is no water shortage
at present. the future will develop
the proposition Of how TO handle
tie known ample supply for all time
into a matter TO be given serious
consideration.
l. Much of the water used IN the
VALLEY originates in Mexico and both
Nnations are equally involved.
OEVERAL solutions have been set
y forth. one Of the latest being
that of impounding the waters
in the upper reaches Of the river.
This is looking ahead for some
wears. but some day IL may bob up
as a project second only TO hat OF
tie Elephant Butte Dam.
DATES on canned goods 10 de-
n velop the Valley industry have
~ recently been gaining the atten-
ton Of the public. The Kiwanis
club a few DAYS ago sought TO start
a move locally with reference TO
this. The chamber Of commerce
had already been working on It for a
number OF years. and for the past
week a hearing has been in prog
ress before the United States inter-
state commerce commission.
J r. Blanton OF the chamber OF
commerce says there is little chance
for a protest or a petition until tnat
hearing is over. What the Valley
contends is that It could ship twice
the canned products for general
CONSUMPTION if given & cheaper
rate This in turn would double the
output of the Valley factories.
WHILE the attention of other VAL
w lev sportsmen are chiefly on
ducks. geese. turkey and deer, f.
A Monsees Of Brownsville gets his
pole and line and slips down TO the
gulf and brings home the bacon IN
the form of fish.
MI. Monsees caught a red fish
Aighing about % pounds on a very
- es,.all pole and line. He believes It
NJthe largest of its kind ever caught
the Valley on a small pole. II
took him about an hour TO land the
catch. and while this was two days
age. he says his arm Is still sore. II
is on the ice at Lamberth's, for any
doubling Thomases 10 see.
An advertisement recently appear
~ ed in The Brownsville Herald
comparing the odor Of roses with
that Of boiling cabbage and giving
that Of the boiling cabbage quite a
bit the worst Of the deal.
This seemed TO peeve Harry Sex
ton. formerly OF The Herald, and
rev in Washington with John Gar
ner Harry claims boiling cabbage
smells good and intimates that adj
verse references should not be made
u it from a patriotic standpoint SO
far as the Valley is concerned.
Boiled cabbage and ham hook is
sood. Harry. SO is baked duck. But
10 save u We DO not see where We
can admit they smell good when
cooking. But that is a personal
matter Of taste, or smell.
vIYH1CH causes US TO remark that
science claims that taste and
smell are s closely allied that
the two can not be separated. 1t is
said that when tasting one is really
doing o smelling than tasting.
To prove this the old test Of the ap-
ple and onion Is made. The subject
is blindfolded and bis nose stopped
up-tight. "A bite Of apple is given
and a bite Of onion is given without
the knowledge Of the subject. and
ne is asked what is in his mouth. II
is said the subject Is likely to haz-
ard guesses OF anything ranging
from cocoanut to garlic.
IF the cold weather predicted for
tonight keeps YOU INDOORS. or we
have another prolonged rainy
ell. those wishing to try further
experiments Of this kind might try
that Of locating objects in a room
blindfolded.
Directions: Leave the room and
let those inside decide upon some
object which can be reached. Re-
turn, have yourself b%lindfolded. Then
ask for the arm Of some other per-
soil. Have that person look con-
stantly at the object keeping 1t ever
IN mind, while you grasp the wrist
OF the extended arm.
BY holding the arm lightly be-
