Wednesday was the birthday of
Abraham Lincoln. We may not have
celebrated the anniversary but the
day could not have gone by without
some thoughts of that great man
who rose from the lowly cabin to
the White House. AS has been said
many times each boy has the same
chance. Lincoln was a splendid ex-
ample for all of us to emulate, for
his name is synonymous with hon
esty, quality most respected in all
walks of life.

BUSINESS SURVEY
SHOWS CONFIDENCE
Industrial Cooperation in
Small Things Declared
Worth While.

A suggestion that the "doing of
many industrial concerns of what
might appear to be small things would
reach very large amount in the aggre-
gate" was made yesterday by Julius H.
Barnes, chairman of the National BUSH
ness Survey Conference, in an an
nouncement to conference members, adj
v1stng them of the work done since the
conference of business leaders convened
at the White House in December.
The conference revealed. he reiter-
ated, the essential soundneSs Of basic
notsditions and the conviction of the
ccniarees that if all proceeded nor
E1AklS with execution of their business
Sans there need be no panic, no long
d serious depression"
Much Of Work Begun.
"h6asor industries set the example, -
the announcement continued. Rail-
roads, shipbuilders, the electrical utili-
ties and the great agencies of commu-
nication, telephone and telegraph, an
nounced that their construction pro-
grams for 1880. on even larger scales
than for the year past. would be carried
cut and expedited to the maximum.
Other great branches of industry an
Rounced adherence to or expansion of
their plans. The Federal Government
contributed by arranging to speed up
essential construction, and enlisted SIM
liar effort on the part of States and
municipalities. Much of this work has
already begun.
ct is evident, however, that for
larger works considerable time is re-
quired for preparation Of plans. for
tenders and for financing. This was
recognized at the December confer
ence, and outstanding in its delibera-
hot aS "a o
be taken of the next two or three
months to carry. on repairs, mainte-
nance, cleanup, requirements and bet
terments.
The continuing Importance and
value Of this suggestion, as we'll as the
favorable trends of the present bust
ness situation, were emphasized at
meeting Of the executive committee of
the National Business Survey Confer
ence, held in Washington January %.
The committee requested that the sug
gestion as to repairs, requirements and
betterments be communicated to manu-
facturers generally.
Applicability May Vary.
THE extent Of immediate applicable
ity of the suggestion will naturally vary
somewhat in different situations. There
Is no thought of proposing unwarranted
expenditures. Each responsible man.
ager of industry Is in position in his
own way and by his own prudent judy
ment to make all practicable use of the
suggestion.
1T may be pointed out that the do
ing by many industrial concerns of
what might now appear to be small
things would reach very large amount
in the aggregate. Response to the sug-
gestion put forward by the executive
committee will be further evidence of
the value of voluntary enlistment of
collective common sense for the accom-
plishment Of a common purpose"

STREET CONVERSION
IS PROPOSED IN BILL
Employment Of Unused Thorough
fares as Property, Capper's
Plan.

The District Commissioners would be
given authority under a bill introduced
yesterday afternoon by Senator Capper
to close streets which become useless or
unnecessary by reason Of changes in the
highway plan to provide adequate serv-
ice to neighboring property by other
streets. The title to the streets or por-
items of streets so closed would revert
to the owners of abutting property, re-
serving to the District the necessary
right to lay sewer and water mains
The bill provides that no street which
is now on the highway plan could be
closed until affected property owners
have been granted a public hearing
Where such a street has actually been
opened and used for travel In the past
1t would be necessary to obtain a writ
ten consent of the owners of all the
AUDITING property before It would be
closed. In all other cases, the written
consent Of not less than rs per cent of
the abutting property would have to be
obtained.

tee on distribution Of the waters OF

that the American part OF the
committee will be retained actively

Mr.. Creager. at the last meeting
OF the Brownsville Chamber OF

need OF the retention of this COM
mittee and was delegated to take
up the matter win the proper au-
thorities. 1t is a matter the Valley
has been interested IN since the es-
Enlistment Of the international

sake OF amity between the two ma

some members that this committee

In the Valley 1t is held that with
this fast developing area and pro-
posed development on the Mexican
side OF the river that the commit

concerned.
While there Is no present danger
from flood waters on a shortage
OF water at low river stages, the
greater development promised may
