in the United States army.
General Charles p. Summerall,
successor TO Pershing in army cir
cles, inspected Fort Brown. Cen
eral Summerall made a flying visit
of an official nature. but just the
same we were mighty glad TO have
had him. OF course we would have
liked TO have had time to feast him
a bit and then show him the VAL
lay"
Showing the Valley is quite a set
program for entertainment, but,
folks, it certainly has its effect. We
= show them the Valley. then II they
want a little of il, we hunt around
and find IL for them. Il is getting
to where they are q lot more sur
prised at their reactions than we
are.
vETILL Rogers failed to show up as
WI per schedule. Otherwise we
~ would have had two celebrities
here at the same time. VIII declares
that al ne knows IS what he reads
in the pagers. We might even be
able TO show Will something else,
when he decides to.come.
DIR Arthur Conan Doyle has pass
n ed on. During the latter part
OF the life Of the creator of
Sherlock Holmes the great writer
turned much OF his attention to
spiritualism. He was a devoted fol-
lower OF that faith. Now that he
has crossed into the beyond. those
OF that faith Will be awaiting mes
sages from MIN.
Sherlock Holmes has probably
fired the imagination OF more
youngsters in America than any
other one writer. Physically he has
cometintO life. lived as other men.
and then died as other men. But
behind he has left a monument that
will keep his pen name on the lips
OF youth as long as men collect and
treasure books.
TONG years ago. the engineer OF
this column remembers being
stood up in a corner and made
to repeat the following.
Mans vapor. full Of o
cuts Ills caper and down he
goes
Which causes some OF lis some
times to remark: What will IL mat
ter a thousand years from now
1t only matters in the "caper' you
cut-but that caper lives through
eternity. And since the radio has
started picking stuff ont Of the air
we are beginning 10 think that this
means forever in nor ways than

Nuctioa.
ANIMATED Annie opines that If
~ life be but a sleep and a forget
ting. how you sleep has much
to do with how you feel when you
wake up, again.
TROM what we can gather Browns
Vile must now get ready 10 sell
itself on a business basis. In
Quiries are beginning 10 be made
concerning the city. But when bus
mess men mean 10 do business they
want substantial facts. not blah,
blah. II. II. Stowe. who recently
came 10 town TO make a survey for
the w. c. Grant company. came into
The Herald office and wanted o
facts than YOU could shake a stick
at. Said he had not been able 10
obtain them. For instance he want
ed to know how the town IS divided
with reference to people and their
earnings: how much business pres
ent stores are doing: how many
radios there are; and questions too
many 10 list. II IS the plan OF the
engineer to get from him his ques-
tionaire and see if it can be filled,
and II not see if the statistics can
not be gathered.
TROM all reports brought 10 this
office. the fishing is fine at Port
Isabel. That is It will officially
be Port Isabel after August /.
