IN OUR
VALLEY
By HALL

TOMORROW morning the county
commissioners will open bids for
the Boca Chica contract and
several other smaller road repair
Jobs in the county.
Some work is already being done
on the Boca Chica road at the beach
end. but the Importance OF a hard
surfaced road to that beach cannot
be over-emphasiZed in Brownsville.
Beaches, alone, have proved great
drawing cards and pieces OF big
business for many cities, and why
not this one for Brownsville and
the Valley. The beach. itself. COM
pares favorably with any other, the
breakers are fine to play in. and
they are Of the same salt water that
supplies the frolic element for so
many other famous resorts.
But we need TO be able 70 go there
and diSport ourselves without hay
ing to keep a weather eye peeled on
the clouds TO keep from getting
stranded in case Of rain-and then
we need somebody to furnish more
things to play with when we get
there. Padre Island Is equally as
good. and gives the thrill OF a
boat ride.
DOT A LETTER today from James
In B. Borland. visiting newspaper
man to the Valley. who writes
a column for the News-Herald OF
Franklin, Penn. MI. BOrland said
lots OF nice things about the Herald
and incidentally handed the engi-
neer Of this column a few bouquets
too personal for a modest young man
like ourselves to bare to the public
eye. We are very timid and retir-
ing you know. Mr.. Borland enclos-
ed a copy OF one Of his own columns,
which gives an account Of birds 10
be found in the Rio Grande Valley.
which will surprise all, except close
students Of bird life.
nut what we are getting down
n to through this personal stuff,
is to publicly wonder why Valley
readers need outside newspapers. We
have noticed that the best outside
papers coming HLO tic sd1tSy AAoS
give more to read in volume. but
~.the news found in them IS from
II eight to twelve hours old.
This goes in behalf Of the Valley
newspapers as a whole. We checked
one big newspaper into the Valley
this morning, and it carried exact
" six news reports in big type on
the front page that The Herald car
ried yesterday afternoon. The VAL
ley newspapers are home institu-
tions. They carry the news. The
Valley editors say, take your choice
and take one so long as you take
mine" But the Valley should sup
port its own.
BECAUSE Of his flying proclivi-
N ties Governor Kohler Of Wiscon-
sin is known as the Flying
Governor" His flights Of magma
ton about the Valley also lend col
or to the title.
rRAWLED over to the typewriter
today to pound out a few words.
I'VE look up at the calendar and
what fine spring days these are. and
how soon it will be the first Of the
month and all Of us get paid.

Feel like drawing up one OF these
'"ro whom ii may concern" letters,
and writing everybody a recommen-
dalton to come 70 the Valley TO live.
AND THEN We glance up at the
IN calendar. II Gems one Of the
ironieS OF this life that every
time a Teller gets to feeling too good
about something along comes a fly
and drops on the niger in the
woodpile, or something.

Instont death to germs Of disease


Think of tia poisonous mouth wash abso-
lutely harmless, pleasant to taste, healing
to tissue; yet sCid pOsoer to destroy germs BY the
millions.
Such is Listerine, for fifty years the outstanding
antiseptic and germicide for oral hygiene.
Every type of dangerous germs swiftly sue
cumbs to it. Among them are the Streptococcus
Hemolyticus, the organism associated with sore
throat, Micrococcus Catarrhals (catarrh) found
frequently with colds, and the Pnemococcus
(pneumonia).
Enemy of nfectiOB
Even Staphylococcus Aureus (pus) and Bacillus
Typhosus (typhoid), germs specified for test pur-
poses because of their resistance to germicides,
yield to it. Listerine kills them in counts ranging
to 200,0O0,000 in Is seconds Easiest killing time
science has accurately recorded).
Now you can understand why full strength
Lsterine is so successful in guarding against
colds, sore throat, and other infections. Why
also, it combats these diseases once they have
gained foothold.

cents a gallon, including a three
cent tax, the basic price per gal
lon in Delaware being three cents
higher than in Maryland. In New
Jersey the price of gasoline to con-
sumers is nearly always at least
three cents lower than in Della
ware. New Jersey has a gasoline
tax of two cents a gallon. In
Pennsylvania, with 8. four cent tax
the price of gasoline is generally
a cent or two lower than in Del
aware, representing at least two
cents a gallon lower basic price
than in Delaware. Made more de-
termined by the failure of the oil
companies to reduce their prices in
Delaware, Governor Buck has de-
cided to proceed against the COM
panies in the State courts. The
action he has requested Attorney
General Satterthwaite to initiate
is to be under the old common law.
The revised code provides that any
violation of the common law is
punishable in Delaware, and the
State generally is given wide lati-
tude in prosecuting charges of con-
spiracy. The charge of conspir-
acy to stife competition by means
of maintaining a fixed price has
not been resorted to in the Della
ware State courts for many years,
it is said There is a Federal law
that can be invoked in such cases,
it is stated, such cases coming be
fore the United States courts. The
action Governor Buck is to request
Attorney General Satterthwaite
to take is to come before the State
courts.

PROPOSED REGULATION of public
L utilities would drag them into the same
financial straits that are embarrassing the
railroads.
The railroads are burdened with such
restrictions that even when operating at
the peak of their efficiency, an efficiency
$50 greater than in 1922, they have never
been able to earn the S549o return on the
valuation allowed. During the first
months of 1880. their net income was
only 800.
European electric power utilities have
Jagged under government regulation. In
the United States, where freedom has been
allowed private initiative, nearly half of
the worlds power is produced. Per capita
consumption in the United States is 813
kilowar hours annually; Germany, $50;
Great Britain, $50; France, $50; Italy, 239
Household electricity in this country costs
2oH9o less than in 1914 despite rise in
the cost of living of 1919.
To continue its progress in serving the
public the American utility industry must
be left with free hand. Much of the growth
achieved is due TO group management of
operating companies. This has made pos
sible engineering projects, interconnec-
ton, extension of service, and financing
on a scale not possible otherwise.
The welfare of community is better
served by keeping business and industry in
operation, by having more and larger pay
rolls, and by providing continued employ

MACDONALD FACES
STRENGTH TESTS
Conservatives to Attack Him
on Employment and
Indian Issues.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 26.-The government
of Premier j. Ramsay Macdonald faces
two tests Of strength this week on mo-
tons Of Conservative members of the
House OF Commons to reduce the
salaries of two Ministers. Defeat on
either would be accepted as a vote of
no-confidence.
The first of these motions, to lower
the stipend of Wedgwood Benn, secre-
tary Of state for India, was up TODAY
with discussion of the India ONCE
budget. The second, based on the feel
ing that the government has not sue
ceeded In dealing with unemployment.
will be met Wednesday with a vote on
a motion to cut the salary of the lord
privy seal, j. H. Thomas, who is also
minister of unemployment.
Prevailing opinion is that the govern
ment will survive its ordeal, particularly
since the Parliamentary Labor party
last week, acting in consequence Of
resignation Of Sir Oswald Mosley from
the cabinet, voted overwhelmingly its
faith IN Mr.. Macdonald and in disclaimer
OF the Labor wing tactics.
The Conservatives today are anxious
for fuller information on the situation
In India and are particularly concerned
with alleged disorders there which have
been inspired by bolshevik propaganda.
The left wing also Is denouncing the
government for alleged imperialism In
its indian policy and adherence to old
time methods in handling the trouble
