-R-County Attorney Roy Arch
er and Dayton Moses Of Fort Worth,
defense lawyer in the John w.

the lawyer had struck at him.
Neither was injured.
The fight occurred just before
the morning session got underway.
Taken TO Task
Z. A. Berry Of Houston, chief OF
defense counsel, asserted Archer
had made statements derogatory to
Moses and that the latter on re-
turning to the court room after an
absence Of two or three days, took
the county attorney TO task for 1t.
Archer declared Moses came up
to him and began abusing" him
and he did not retaliate until
Moses had repeated his charges.
Crowds Eager
Crowds eager to hear the testi-
mony literally took possession OF

and therefore that I did not want
the gentleman who had been en-
ployed as private prosecutors to any
longer continue in the case. This
decision on my part was reached
without any consultation whatever
with Mr.. Brooks (district attorney,
and since these gentlemen were or
iginally in the case as my repre-

necessary to state publicly any rea-

THE idea of a city museum, dis
cuSsed in this column some few
days ago, seems to have brought
North a responsive reaction. Several
have stopped Us to discuss the mat
ter.
And from what We can gather a
museum is easily available here
which can be made a thing of pride
to citizens Of Brownsville and q Joy
TO visitors.
The proposition, in the rough so
to speak, is TO obtain o suitable and
convenient building for it some
where. II was estimated that about
$4,000 will be needed for such pur-
pose.
Again we say 1t Is a pregnant idea
and there should be some patriotic
citizen here who would thus like to
build q monument TO himself and
make a handsome gift to his own
people.

IN OUR

BY CHARLES HALL.

CEvERAL have asked the engineer
Of this column for more infor-
nation on the announcement
carried by The Brownsville Herald
on the proposed new postoffice.
At this time all we can say
is that while in Washington
the Brownsville delegation, in this
instance led by r. 3. Creager, have
to all appearances killed two birds
with two rocks but at one shot.
Details are lacking, but u Is
enough to know that 1t Is being
looked upon favorably for early Of
fetal action. II is said to be an al
location Of $3.50 900 for that purpose.
Anent this subject q suggestion
has been made, which might give
food for thought. This suggestion is
that the government be offered a
trade Of the present city hall for
the new building site in return for
the present federal building. which
can be used for a city hall. That
might prove happy add around. al
though we must admit we are not
in a position TO further set forth the
idea for consideration.

airplanes and the airship have given o
third dimension to these facilities, and
predicted the time, within the next
few years, when air transportation
systems over land, both here and
abroad. will be linked by regular air

Colonel Lindbergh's talk was broad.

total Of 119 broadcasting stations
were linked. These stations were con.

Banana Fritters are easily made
with self.rIsing flour. Served with a
lemon sauce they make 4 tasty lunch
con dish.
Add two-thirds cupful Of milk and one
cupful of self-rising -four, sifted once
and added slowly.
When the batter is ready, take six
well-ripened bananas, remove the skins
and fiber. and cut in halves length
wise and again crosswise, IL large.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and lemon
juice and dip each piece Of fruit sep.
arately into the batter.
Drop into deep fat hot enough to
brown small cube of bread in one
minute. Cook the fritter until a pale
brown, then drain on unglazed paper
and dust with confectioner's sugar.
Serve with lemon sauce.
This sauce Is made as follows; two
tablespoonfuls Of self-rising -four
blended with two-thirds cupful Of sugar.
Add one cupful boiling water slowly,
stirring well to prevent Jumps from
forming. Add the juice and grated
nnd Of half lemon and cook until the
mixture thickens. Serve hot.
Selt-rising soft whea. -four is used
In these fritters because it is more
economical. With 1t fewer eggs are
necessary (use only one egg for each
cupful Of fiour). Besides 1t Is cheaper
to have a miller combine the -four,
salt and baking powder at the mill
than for each individual homemaker
to do 80 in the kitchen. The miller
gives the user the advantages Of
wholesale carlot prices on these mate
rails. So self-rising flour is more
economical to use In home baking and
furthermore the results are more
certain.
