through ingenious experiments,
was e1dlessly fertile in invent
ing ways and means for ex'
hibiting new phenomena.
Maxwell could work out the
mathematical theory of Fara-
days perrin en- IS, but he
couldn't think up the expert
ment originally. Faraday could
devise the experiment, but he
could not work automatically
the scientific theory.
The great industry of radio
or wireless transmission owes
its origin to Maxwell, who
never sent out a wireless mes
sage. Faraday actually discov-
cred, by inventive ingenuity,
the true correlation between
motion, magnetism and elec-
tricity.
AS a result of this discovery
alone, said Gen. j. j. Carly,
probably more than ninety bill
lions of invested capital has
come to be actively employed. .
The ideal of a great civiliza-
tion is to free man from the ac-
cidental and sporadic results of.
genius, and to afford every
facility for the true genius to
function at the highest eff
cheney. He or she should be
spared all concern for livelihood,
and supplied with every facility
for employing his genius to the
fullest extent. In the past, an
undue eminence attached to
statesmen and warriors. Their
work was often harmful and
dangerous, destructive rather
than constructive. The ideal Of
the scientific and power age is
the engineer, the inventor
whose work is definitely con-
structiye, useful and beneficent.
It is toward this ideal that
the world is now tending with
rapid strides.

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

I've known plenty of men, and
plenty of women,
And I can't, for the life of me,
discover
Any essential difference between
them.
One hears. of man nature and
woman nature,
But actually there is only human
I nature,
With its identical gobs Of Gus
SedneSS.
Sometimes that human nature
wears plus fours
And sometimes it wears teddy
bears;
But beneath the lingerie
They're all the same.
OF course, men and women
Have learned different tricks,
According to their jobs and en-
vironment,
And. because their tricks we're
different,
They grew to believe that
They themselves were different.
And suspicion arose between
them, and fear,
AS though they we're separate
species of animal.
Then, out of that fear for each
other,
They invented countless schemes
Whereby women thought that
they
Were putting something over on
men,
And men thought that they
Were putting something over on
women.
But actually there is no need
For all these maneuyerings, be-
cause
If we'd stop cutting up and act
natural
We'd very soon discover that
men
And women are all Of a piece
Men claim credit for courage
And women claim credit for
purity,
But, taking 'em by the large,
Women are as brave as men
And men are as pure as women.
And when it comes to cruelty
And lazineSS and lies
And similar shinanniganS,
Neither sex has a thing on the
other.
AS for women being mysterious
piff1e!
We all are mysterious, in a
sense,
But there is no magic about
women
That men do not also possess,
It u trSs that women make

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis e. Bisch-


Boys and girls crave compan-
ionship. So do men and wo.
men.
An instructive urge drives us
to live where others live. to see
them and be near them even If
we do not actually associate with
them.
Therefore, our cities are grow
ing larger and larger while our
country districts are left sparse
ly settled.
Yet there are hundreds of
people who crave companion
ship and in fact, could have it
for the asking, but who remain
miserably lonely for all that.
These are the tinid, seclusive
types that one finds even in the
great centerS of population,
They are driven to where others
congregate, but they lack that
something" to break the ice
and make friends.
Self consciousness is one of
the causes.
The trouble is not rat these
>unfortunates analyze their own
character but rather that they
do not know how to do 1t.
The right kind of self.al1alysiS
never did anyone any harm. In
fact, it is the greatest character
and personality builder in exist
ence.
But the truth is that the
kinds of individuals I am writ
ing about stop short at a certain
place in their study and probing
Of the inner self. They. stop
when the probe hurtSl
This is because, mixed UP with
all inferiority ideas of whatever
variety, there goes q certain
amount Of self-pity.
They say, in effect, yes, it
is true that ! am this and that,
deficient in this and that
Butt" And the but carries
with it excuses aplenty, letting
them down easy.
If we actually would face facts
about ourselves fearlessly and
unflinchingly we would also
take the next step-that is. the
step toward correcting the fault.
But halfway measures will
not do.
Anybody can make friends If
he wants to, for every human
being possesses desirable and
lovable qualities which appeal
to somebody at least.

Famous Scientific Authority

AS never before in the
worlds history, the leading fig
t1res in government, industry
and science are utilizing, for
the worlds progress, the natur-
al instinct of invention, which
seems planted in the human
intelligence by a benef1cent
creator.
It is perhaps the most basic
and extraordinary differenti-
ating trait which sets off the
human race from the animal
kingdom.
Although animals have a
considerable amount Of intelll-
gence. it would seem, and some
animals an extraordinary
amount, they lack one striking
capacity. which has in it the
germ of illimitable possible
ties. No animal has ever been
known to light a fire!
Necessity has been called the
mother of invention. And this
is a true saying, so far as earl.
ier and primitive civilization
are concerned. But it can only
be said to be strictly true Of
them. Countless inventions are
made nowadays, in the course
1of pure investigation, and not
necessarily because the world
needs or demands certain
things.
Governments and technical
organization realize the enor-
nous industrial value Of practi-
cal research. or, as we might
say, mechanical invention. The
scientist makes a machine be
cause he has figured out by
signs and symbols on paper be-
forehand that the desired re-
suit can be achieved.
Clerk Maxwell was this sort
of scientist although he lacked
the higher mechanical faculty
Of invention. On the other
hand, Faraday was essentially
an inventor: he tinkered with
equipment, devised and carried

To get their stuff across
Exactly as men would do
II other men gave them the

Nine-tenths of our mutual mis-

Isn't founded on any

That we've gotta act different

Suggests Taxi Taxation
AS Means Of Regulation

Editor, Times:
Your editorial on the "Traf-
fic situation" was very fair and
sensible. ....
However, you overlooked that
the present situation is princi-
pally to be blamed on Mr.. Clay.
ton, peoples representative, and
Mr.. Keech, peoples counsel,
both of whom opposed any taxi
regulation (before Congress-
other than the financial re-
SponSibility clause.
To add a thought n favor
of the street car riders: Why
should not taxes as well as
rates. schedules, etc. be the
same between cabs and cars?
Why should car riders be taxed
to pay for the right of way for
car companies and then also be
indirectly taxed to furnish a
right of way for taxi';? In fact,
the whole course Of taxes should
be paralleled.
Everyone wants a living wage.
Then why are taxis not COM
PEELED to pay such, instead Of
depending on the depressed Ia
Dor situation to rent cabs to
men not able to find other
work, thus avoiding employees
insurance? Why shoulc taxis be
permitted to operate on your
system when Clayton ct al. al
ways opposed the car compan-
les having the same privilege?
There has been lots of talk
about unfair competition. and
if there ever was an example
of this the present situation is
it. To be fair, regulations and
taxes should be the same. AS
to financial responsibility, I
doubt If any Of the taxis have
any-a fly-hy-nigEt scheme If
ever there was one.
thank you for your interest
in the car riders general vel
fare. Keep up the campaign;
in later years the public viii
appreciate it and thank you
for it., JOHN DOE.

Hot Weather Is Linked

MORE HIGHWAY
POLICE ASKED.
Tragic Deaths in Valley
Lead to Plea For
State Aid

HARL1NGEN. July 24-The ira
gic death of Edwin Burk Of Harlin-
gen and d. L. Dotson Of San Anto-
Mo in an automobile accident, has
brought to a head efforts to obtain
more state highway patrolmen for
Valley highways.
A campaign Is under way here
among members Of civic organiza-
tons to work out some plan where
by the additional officers can be
sent to the Valley. The drive has
not taken definite form as yet. but
is expected to within the week.
The most active in the agitation
for more patrolmen do not take
the position that the fatal wreck
could have been prevented had
there been more patrolmen on the
job. But they point out that when
nine state-trained motorcycle men
were patrolihg the Valley. highway
traffic conditions we're materially
aided.
On the other hand. they are care
full to point out that they have no
fault to find with county officers.
The chief argument advanced Is
that there are not enough mounted
officers on Valley roads adequately
to handle the traffic problems.
Meanwhile, it has been learned
that the two state officers now
operating down here will wage a re-
lentless campaign against users Of
improper lights on their automo-
biles. In their drive they will have
the whole-hearted co-~-~--tion Of
county ~constables and other officers.
Those who have studied the traf-
fic situation closely. are united in
the belief that faulty lights and mis-
judging Of distance in passing other
autos are responsible for more than
ninety percent of accidents.

SEVENTEEN TO
TAKE COURSE
Nine Club Boys, Listed In
A. & NJ. School, to Leave
Friday Night

Seventeen persons will leave Cam
eron county Friday night. July Is,
for the A. & M. college short course
and OF this group nine are All club
boys and three are men.
The three boys will represent the
county in the state poultry judging
contest are Glenn Miller. Highland;
James Frankhauser. Stuart Place;
Harley Moon, Santa Rosa. Last year
Glenn bought one hundred baby
chicks from which he raised and
sold u fryers averaging three
pounds apiece az a profit OF $3.50
and again this year he has started
with baby chicks. Glenn's scholar
ship to the short course is being
furnished by the San Benito Cham
Der Of Commerce. James Frankhaus-
er has a flock of 125 laying hens and
in six months time he has averaged
$1.27 per hen above feed cost. James
scholarship is being furnished by
the Harlingen Chamber OF Com
merce. In the past years Harley
Moon has always taken cotton as a
demonstration and has been very
successful in that line, but this year
he Is taking poultry as well as cot
ton. His records on poultry also show
that he is making a success with
his farm flock and chicks. His
scholarship is being furnished BY
the farmers Of Cameron county.
j. T. Casey of Los Fresnos, a r.
year-old club member, has made an
outstanding success in raising Irish
potatoes. j. T. raised 286 2-3 BUSH
els from / J-16 acres, or 269.8 BUSH
els per acre The county average for
