BROWNSVILLE and the Valley
i'd today pause to observe San JAG
into Day, the anniversary of the
battle near Houston, which led to
1exas independence from Mexico.
IN the city. schools and banks
are closed and at Edinburg a cele-
pration Is planned, according TO an
announcement made today.
&herica has long been known as
he Jsnelting pot Of nations.
III With Texas founded and built by
men from every state in the Union.
This state might well be called the
Fernelting pot of the nation. That
lis one reason we have such fine
5eople in this state. And in the
Valley they are gathered from the
four corners as probably IN no other
spot IN TIE United States.
FTEXAS Is taking q holiday. but
the business Of the nation rs a
whole is continued. It is today
that the Omnibus bill Of Sill, 100000
is expected TO be introduced. In 1t
Is the Valleys port project.
n This has caused many who other
wise would be resting easily TO await
'today's issue Of the daily papers to
lsee II the project has started on its
way to the president for signature.
Tits passage through both houses Is
generally conceded by those supposed
40 know.
rAPTAIN W. w. Sterling. who has
Just returned from New York
where he was a Judge in a rodeo.
) a great friend OF Irwin S. Cobb,
famous writer.
~ He was with him much while there,
nd he said Cobb kept asking about
-exas. Wanted to know how many
inhabitants It had. When told about
100000, he answered that from
ne noise he has been hearing late
u he thought there were at least
5 600 900 real estate men.
He intimated that he Is planning
! trip TO Texas with Houston his
destination. Captain Sterling says
ne Is going to get him TO come down
and visit the Valley. That will be
move well worth while.
WHAT now seems will be the next
M fad to sweep the country is Gid
ing.
with O glider club planned for
II brownsville, il is said the whole
ration Is threatened with taking up
lkhe snort. One reason for this Is
That the light machines can be ham
skiIed by anyone who can ride q BIZ
rvcle and that they are almost TOOL
\ proof. That is unless some beginner
lakes a notion TO loop the loop, or
fszxnething else foolish.
7be altitude record in a glider is
AssEst 1000 feet. And 1t is thought
.t&hat the stage will soon be reached
when the flier can stay UP indefi-
1iseIv. Germany Is paying much
Invention TO il, and it is said that
@TTncIe sam favors the sport in order
