some one apparently dead is re-

ing of his heart and his breathing
by injection directly into the heart
of some effective drug.
The preparation usually used is
an extract of the supraenal gland
called epinephrine or adrenalin.
In a recent review of medical
opinion on this subject, DR.. A. S.
Hyman points out that this tech
mic is hailed on one hand as a
miracle of science, and on the other
as a useless and dangerous opera
ton. Hence he has summed up
what has been accomplished by this
method in recent years.

We're All Anarchists

TIME trouble is that nations, our
a own included, shrink at the
idea of making the necessary sur
render Of sovereignty, and that's
nothing but the age-old love of in
dependence expressed on a grander
scale.
Men did not yield family govern
ment for tribal rule without a strug-
gle nor tribal rule for the organiza-
ton of states.
We're all anarchists at heart.
The only difference is that some
of us have been trained to see the
advantage Of living under orderly
governments.
The success Of the peace move
ment depends on convincing a
majority of civilized people that
there would be even greater ad-
vantage in an orderly world
But let's not begin by deceiving
ourselves as to what that means.
There is not an orderly govern
ment without it's instrumentalities
of force, or without its right to use
them when obedience can not be
had in any other way; not court
without its bailiffs, nor a magistrate
without some kind Of peace officer
to back him up.
Why imagine, then, that we can
hope for an orderly world without
similar agencies, instrumentaHties,
and all they imply?

sve than at any other time since the armstice wa.
signed?
How else explain his claim that the London treaty
has disposed Of of the major fricons among the
great naval powers-that is competition in naval con-
sruction-and it has made sensible advance in the
reduction Of warships"?
Has he forgotten that, instead of naval reduction
that treaty has permitted and encouraged his navy
department to plan an increase costing upward Of
s1OOOOOOOOO and that the treaty has no real enec-
tiveness until France and Italy reach an agreement
which is not yet in prospect?
How else explain his contradictory references to
making the kellogg pact binding treaty instead of
merely gesture? II do not say that some such
further step may not come about some day" He
must know that this vital advance is blocked by the
Washington government, and never can come about
unless Washington acts
He must know that there can be no effective inter-
national peace machinery-through the Leagues or
the Kellogg pact, or anything else-so long as the
United States insists his policy of keeping free
from any advance commitment"
The least expected of the President in his Armis-
tice day address was pledge Of prompt American
adherence to the world cour-a pledge repeatedly
made and unfulfied by him and by his party during
three administrations.
Hoover praised the world court as usual but forgot
to mention that we are not yet member. Is it
possible that the President has forgotten that he per-
sonaly has kept the world court protocol locked il
his desk for nearly year, instead of sending it to
the senate, where it belongs and where over
whelming majority is impatient to ratify it?
We trust that before his message to congress the
President can find no time to consider these mpera-
tive issues of foreign policy. We hope that he yet
will lead toward actual international armament re-
duction, prompt American adherence to the world
court and efectuaI extension of the Kellogg pact

A M a zl11g Discoveries are
Made IN the Study Of Vdri-
able Stars.
GONE of the most remarkable
y and amazing discoveries about
the universe have been made in the
last decade through the study OF
variable stars.
1t is interesting. therefore, to re-
alize that the first great land
mark in the progress of knowledge
of the stars was the discovery OF
the existence of variable stars.
The discovery was made by David
FabriciuS, Dutch astronomer, IN
1896. He noted stax of medium
brightness in the constellation Of
Cetus, or the Whale, which grew
dim and faded from sight.
Because of the strange behavior
OF this star, he named it Mira,
which means 1.-THE wonderful
We now know that Mira is va
riable star, that is, star whose
brightness varies. At its maximum
brightness it appears as a third
magnitude star. (The brightest
stars in the sky are known IS the
first magnitude stars, while those
Just visible to the naked eye are
known as the sixth magnitude
stars)
At its minimum brightness Mira
is a ninth magnitude star, and con-
Sequently only visible with a tele-
scope,
It takes Mira approximately 24O
days to fade from its maximum to
its minimum brightness. Its re
covery, however. is more rapid and
it returns to maximum brightness
in only ninety days.

Must Have Authority

DEOPLE have not been able to es-
l. tablish peace anywhere yet, no
matter on how small scale, with
out first instituting some kind of
an orderly system, and then giving
that system sufficient force to pro-
tect and preserve itself.
Whether it's a case of maintain
ing order through tribal law or a
vigilance committee, people always
have found it necessary to clothe
the effort with a certain degree of
power.
Civilization Will have to do the

ANNIVERSARY.
CAPTURE OF MONTREAL
November IL

ON Nov. 10, ITS, the Americans
~ dealt the British a. surprising
blow shortly before the end of the
Revolutionary war, when Richard
Montgomery, with 1000 men, de-
scended from Lake Champlain to
capture Montreal.
Congress sent an expedition into
Canada after it had heard that
King George had hired 10000 Ger
man troops to fight against the col
onists. The primary reason for the
expedition was to prevent Sir Guy
Carleton, governor Of Canada, from
invading New York.
Another line Of American inva-
sion was intrusted to Benedict
Arnold, who, with 1900 men, made
a wonderful march through the
dense wilderness Of Maine to reach
Quebec.
Here he joined forces with Mont
gomery and they both made des-
perate assault upon Quebec. They
forced their way into the town, but
Montgomery was killed and Arnold
disabled, and the assault finally
was repulsed.
one historian wrote Of this ez-
petition:
mo expedition during the Ameri-
can revolution had less elements Of
permanent value than those which
were undertaken against Canada
during the year 1775.
Great results we're anticipated,
bat none was realized. The obstacles
we're too substantial, and failure
was inevitable"

RESORTS
TOURIST LURE
Bull Rings, Casino Offer
Unusual Entertainment
For Valley Visitors

Additional attractions TO tourists
to come to the Lower Rio Grande
Valley are planned In the way OF
bull rings and resorts on the Mexi-
can side of the river in the near
future.
There Is now a bull ring at Rey-
nosa. across the Rio Grande from
McAllen and bull fights are held
there at frequent intervals.
The Matamoros bull ring burned
down several years ago and has not
been replaced. However, a big steel
ring Is to be constructed in this
Mexican city. across the river from
Brownsville. in the near future.
The bull r.ng Is planned in con-
junction with a resort which viii
include horse-racirg. a quarter mil
lion dollar resort hotel and a casino
and cabaret.
The bull ring will be built en-
Tn ely OF concrete and steel and will
have a seating capacity OF 10000
being one of the largest rings in
Mexico. Tie best bull fighters 81
the republic will come here TO ap-
pear in bull fights.
Detailed plans for the project are
being worked out now and II is ex-
pected to be carried out in the near
future. Concessions have been Sc
cured from the state government OF
Tamaulipas, the concessions speci-
.ying that a hospital be constructed
by the owners as part compensa-
ton in the project.

Polo Spreads Into
Business Circles

Polo. which for so many years
has been confined to the army
posts OF the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, has spread 10 civilian pop
ulation. and has also taken on an
international aspect, furnishing
tourists TO the Valley with a large
amount Of entertainment during
winter months. when 1t is most
popular.
The mid-winter polo tournament
at Fort Brown was not held last
year, but indications are that the
tournament will be hed this year
with a large number OF entries
from the outside, as well as local
competition.
Harrington polo players, most OF
them former army men, who play
cd while in the service, have or
ganized a club, and have shown UP
good in competition with the Fort
Brown team after months Of pract-
ice. The Harlingen players have
held their own recently In bouts
with other teams, principally mil
itary.
Polo spread across the Rio Gran
dc several years ago with the re-
suit that the army officers at the
Matamoros garrison have taken It
up. and frequently meet the Amer
lean army teams.
The garrison at Reylose also has
taken up polo.
This gives the section five polo
teams. including Rio Grande City.
Fort Brown, and the Harrington
civilian team.
The Valley Mid Winter polo
tournament in past years has at
tracted civilian and army teams
from other parts OF the state, and
IS expected this year to bring a
much larger number OF entries.

VALLEY WATERS
GAIN In FISH
Stocked Resacas Proving
Great Move For Rod
And Reel Addicts

The Lower Rio Grande Valley
has secured valuable aid from the
State Game, Fish and Oyster de-
rartment in making available to
sportsmen of the Valley and visiting
fishermen some first class fresh
water fishing.
In the past there was little fresh
water fishing In the Valley except
casper and catfish.
Now many OF the resacas OF the
section have been stocked with such
sport fish as bass. trout and crappie.
The Valley promises to become a
yeritable paradise for sport fisher
rlen, with its many salt water fish
ing assets. as q result OF the locating
in this section of a fish hatchery
By the state department.
The state spent approximately
$4,000 In installing this hatchery,
which Is located at Olmito, the site
for 1t having been donated by AL r.
Parker. a Valley land man. The
hatchery is located In the bed OF
a resaca in Olmito and water Is
run I'm from the Los Fresnos canal
system. nearby.
Here the fish to supply the reSacas
Of the Valley are produced, the vari-
ties being bass. croppie and perch.
Recently the main S which
goes through San Benito. was
stocked with young bass and fisher
nlen in that section will be able to
snag them out Of the resaca in a
short time.
Fish have been placed in many
other resacas Of the Valley.
This section with its hundreds OF
resacas and small lakes will furnish
abundant fishing for sportsmen
when these water bodies are stocked
In many OF them, where the water
is pumped into the lakes. as Lake
Tepeguaje in Olmito. the CARS are
kept out by screens. which aids the
bass in stocking lakes.
The fish hatchery in a few years
will have the Valleys available
lakes practically stocked with fish
and will keep them supplied.

After years OF diligent work the
efforts OF Valley people TOWARD
more highways connecting this sec
ton with the north appear to be
certain OF a satisfactory reward.
This comes with the financing
OF the Hug-the-C Coast highway
from Brownsville to Orancc.
Additional highway advances have
been made in other sections. max

ley to San Antonio and Houston
