PORTS CHATS

TODAY the Brownsville high
school Eagles take on the strong
Cardinals az Harrington in what
should prove an interesting ball
game. The Eagles are all popped up
over their l3-inning victory AZ San

dope. II seems as though the
brownsville boys have Just hit their

heavily.

This pitch Is too easily telegraphed.
although It gets by fairly ven in

LA FERIA deserved 10 run Har-
lingen q much closer race than
she has done. Two narrow decisions
over the Cavaliers gave the Cards
the necessary edge to sew up the
upper bracket championship.
LAST season Il looked as though
the Eagles were a large outfit for
a high school. Times have changed
and several opposing players have
asked us II the red suited boys
really were the high school nine
this season. They thought they
were the junior high outfit. Har-
llr-en and La Feria have the big
boys now.
THE smaller boys have not been
able to withstand the lure Of base
ball. Sandlot mines have begun to
spring up ovcr the city. The Browns
vile Cubs. headed by Fernando
Martinez. have been organized and
are looking for games. Boys on the
roster include John Joe Cara.

France has long had monopoly
on this odd sort of jewelry business.
Near Paris there are several estab-
lishments where skilled artisans take
beetles of the ugliest varieties and
turn them into brooches, earrings,
pins, necklaces and many other ar
ticles of adornment.
When the insects arrive at the
jewelry makers workshops they are
sorted by specialists who put the
creatures of each species into sepa-
rate boxes which are then sent to the
mounting studios, where highly sh-lled
workers take the insects apart. Some
families, have for generations. fol-
lowed this peculiar trade.
Delicate instruments are used to
remove the tiny heads from the
bodies, which are thoroughly cleaned
inside and out. ALI internal organs
are taken out and are replaced by a
substance that is solid, which keeps
the beetles in their natural shape.
When the beetle has been dissected
cleaned and treated by a secret pro-
cess that hardens it and preserves its
form and color, it goes to another
room of the workshop where it Is
mounted on a gold and silver brooch
stickpin or pendant.
