Bon BILL HEARING

The Editor, Brownsville Herald,
Brownsville, Texas.
Dear Editor.
/ have noted with interest In the
Valley papers the past week the re-
ports or the present shortage o.
farm labor. To-day, I am IL RECEIPT
of a letter from Congressman Gar
1er's office advising that hearings
ON the Johnson and Box bills de-
signed to place immigration from
Mexico upon a quota basis were
started by the House immigration
committee on The 10th but were adj
journed until Monday January goth.
Announcement was made that hear
ings would be continued until the
latter part az January 10 give Op-
portunity Tor an interests 40 be
heard. On that date Hon. Frank
Andrews Of Houston and the Mes
sers Roland Harwell, II. ID. FOrchCr.
I. r. Gillett and Mr.. Fleming or III.
Paso were the only Texans who had
filed notice az intention 10 appear
before the committee and protest
tho enactment Ol tie proposed Le-
gislati0n. IN is OF most vital I'M
portance that the Valley be repre-
sented By a strong delegation AZ
these hearings. Mr.. Garner viii DO
all he can. but he must have local
support. NY understanding is that
these Bills propose to limit Mexican
immigration TO the United States 70
$500 persons per year.
Mr.. Garner saws that II either or
the proposed Bills is tavorably re-
ported out OF committee " will pass
both the House and Senate BY a
large majority.
Apparently the sentiment for the
quota is strong III Washington due
largely TO the propaganda cam
paigns OF the restrictionists backed
by the American Federation OF La
Dor, Agricultural Organizations and
the various Anti-C Catholic Religious
Organizations. The Department of
Labor IS Of course backing the quota
proposal but our information IS that
the Departments Of State and Com
merce are not enthusiastic over Il.
although there IS little likelihood
that either OF the latter Depart
ments will make a statement before
the Committee.
This condition or affairs has been
foreseen for some time BY many OF
US, and the forestalling OF the en-
actment or any legislation similar To
the Box or Johnson bills was one az
the things the immigration Commit
tee, appointed By Mr.. John r. Lo-
max at q meeting il San Benito
several months ago, had hoped TO
10. Could there have been aroused
enough interest in the Valley 10
provide adequate support Tor tho
plan formulated by this committee
and favored by a majority OF the
Valley residents TO whom it was sub
mitted both directly and through
the press, I believe that by this time
We would have had effectively work
ing. an organization which could
and would have been instrumental
IN preventing the favorable report
out OF committee OF either Of these
bills, and at the same time con-
ditions affecting the local labor sit
uaticn could and would have been
improved to where there would not
~ this time be any shortage OF la
Dor IL the Valley.

The Once Over
THE INADEQUATE DASH

Copyright, 1880. by The Associated Newspapers) :.
The more one sees Of the 1880 automobiles the more
one comes to the conclusion that the geegaws on the
dash are inadequate. There should be more Of them
Every year the manufacturer makes the dash a little
more elaborate and intricate. but there IS still much
ground TO cover.
This department respectfully suggests. in the inter
est Of the Complete Dashboard, the following adj
ditions:
Automatic egg-boler.
Razor strop and kit.
barometer.
Aspirin slot.
5-Eiectric iron
6.-Electric toaSter.
7.-Coffee percolator.
8.-Red pepper e~jector.
9.-Orange-squee1er.
I0.-Chloroform spray.
Every motorist has been through the experience OF
becoming hungry on tour and having recourse only to
hot-dog stands or peanut vendors. To be able to press
something on the dash and get a three minute egg,
some dry toast and hot coffee has been the yearning
OF every motorist. What have the car designers done
to meet this demand. Nothing.
Impending weather changes are something which
concern all tourists. yet they may search the dash
from left to right and back again without finding q
barometer. Headaches assail all motorists, particu-
larry through Sunday traffic, yet no designer has put
on the dash a gadget which will release aspirin tab
lets.
On long tours there are times when the wife would
like to press o skirt or something, but has any auto
mobile designed ever made It possible to reach to the
dash and get an electric iron?
And red pepper! How many times in the course OF
any motor trip has the driver longed for a device
that would eject a peck Of red popped into the face
Of the pursuing motor cop? How often has the mar
ried driver yearned to reach for a button that would
envelope the rear-seat driver with the all overpower-
ing essence OF chloroform?
How often has the party wanted orange juice for
a wayside cocktail or something, and yet been pow
erless? Is there a motorist who has never felt that he
would gladly scrap the clock. the ~oil-gauge, the speed
ometer and all the other seventeen gadgets on the
dash for a good bottle opener?
And why has 1t never occurred to any designer 10
place on the dash a compartment containing feroci-
ous false mustaches which a driver, upon being bump
ed in the rear by another tourist. could affix 70 his
upper lip while he leaned out and barked "Whazza-
mattah with your
What's the trouble with the automobile designers
anyhow? Have they no originality?

Eat Vegetables
and You II Get
Your Vitan1ins

Cabbage, carrots, lettuce, peas,
peppers, spinach and tomatoes form
the Big Seven" among vegetables
rich in vitamins, and you will plant
them in your spring garden and
serve them on your table above all
others, if you value the advice of
E. r. Lancashire, Ohio State uni
yerSity scientist.
Professor Lancashire, in the cur
rent issue of the Farm Journal, ma
tional agricultural monthly, grades
the twenty-eight most popular
American vegetables according to
their content of vitamins A, 3 and
c. None, of course, contain vitamin
D, which is found in fish and fat
foods But lettuce is particularly
distinguished by a richness of vita
min E.
In the following list, the vitamin
values of the vegetables is indicated
by the Figure l where the vitamin
is found in small amount, by 2
when the amount is moderate and

Take pan of clabbered milk.

on the stove; occasionally stir or lift
gently from the bottom to equalize
heat, and let remain until whey and
curd are we'll separated but curd not

A variation of this recipe, given
by Successful Farming, reads as fol-

main over the water a somewhat
shorter time, so that the consistency
of the curd is somewhat less firm.
Tip into a fine colander, drain a

Wax Makes
Polishing of
Wood Easy

Advent of the So-called modern
istic style IN furniture and interior
decoration is bringing about a new
interest in a wood surface as some
thing beautiful in and Of itself.
Puzzling as the new style may be to
some, nevertheless it possesses Ger
tain aspects of beauty, one OF the
chief of these being the use OF beau
tiful woods, often rare, expensive
and hitherto little used woods such
as thuya, ebony, snakewood and
others.
In the construction of furniture,
plain fat surfaces unadorned by or
namentation or carving, showing
only unusual loneliness of texture.
natural markings and grain are en-
phaSiZed.
This new interest in wood sur
faces is causing housewives to ap-
preciate the beauty Of the more
familiar mahogany, walnut, maple
and cherry furniture which they
have already in their possession.
Keeping it clean, is, of course, the
first essential to its good appear
ance.
Obscures Beauty
The fine film of dust and CRIME
which accumulates on 1t, in spite OF
all care, will in time obscure the
richness of coloring and beauty Of
texture of fine woods.
An occasional washing with luke
warm water and a mild soap fol-
lowed by thorough drying should
be made a regular part OF the
household routine. This should be
followed by an application Of a good
wax, we'll rubbed in and allowed to
dry for twenty minutes or so, after
which the furniture should be
polished with soft wool cloth, or
polishing NIT which is very mex
pensive, and a handy thing to have
for this purpose.
Preferred to Oil
Wax is to be preferred to Oil for
polishing, since it closes the pores
of the wood and creates surface
which tests have proved collects
only one-half as much dust as an
oiled surface.
If you do not care to use soap and
water on your furniture, the CRIME
may be removed with liquid wax
wiped off with clean dry rags. The
same polishing treatment as out
lined above then should be used,
after which furniture will show off
to the best advantage whatever
beauty of texture and grain the
wood of which it is made possesses.
Neglect of furniture;s as we'll as of
personal appearance, is as disastrous
to furniture as it is to individuals.
An occasional cleaning and polish
ing will have the toning up effect on
wood that a facial treatment has
on a beautifully textured skin.

DISH CLOTHS, TOWELS
SHOULD BE WASHED

Washing the dish towels and dish
cloths every time they are used, is
an excellent habit to acquire. 1t
practically is the only way to be
reasonably sure of preventing an
accumulation of germs on dishes,
glassware and Silverware.
OF course, the first step in Sani-
tary dish washing, is to make use
of plenty of hot water and good
soap, then scalding water and clean
towels for drying finish up the job
as nearly perfectly as possible. The
ideal way, is to stack the dishes in
a wire rack and scald them thor
oughly. then they will need no dry
ing. That leaves the glassware and
silerware for the towels. This
method not only saves time, but
saves washing so many towels.

To Kenmore Floor STAINS

To remove stains from light
coiored floors, rub the discolored
wood with a cloth dipped in a
solution of oxalic acid and water.
An adequate solution is four ounces
of acid to a quart of hot water.
After the discoloration has been re-
moved. wash the spot with vinegar.
This will prevent the acid from
continuing its work after the sur
face has been polished. Finish with
one or more applications of wax I'M
