MEXICAN ROAD
WORK PRESUMED
Construction On Projects
Goes Forward After
Rainy Season
By A c ~STARR-HUNT

MONTERREY, Mexico, Nov. a
With the termination of the BRIEF
fall rainy season In northern
Mexico, highway construction has
been actively resumed.
The prolongation Of the Laredo
Monterrey highway, which Is soon
To link Mexico City with the border,
has been opened as a provisional
highway as far south as 80 kilomet-
ers. or about SIS miles, beyond
Wales. state of San Luis Potosi.
The stretch from Laredo to Mon
terrey Is surfaced and In superb
condition, and from Monterrey 70
Llnares in the same state the road
is good in dry weather. PetroliZa-
ton of the link between Monte
rrey and Linares will begin early
in January. /.
Construction Of bridges and
culverts is occupying much Of the
time Of road workers between here
and Wales at present.
Active construction or the pro-
jected coast to coast highway that
will connect Brownsville, Texas,
with Mazatlan on the Pacific
coast, has also been resumed. TO
the west from Monterrey this road
Is in good condition as far west as
Saltillo. East Of Monterrey road
crews are at work near Bravo. not
far from the TamaulipaS border IN
Nueyo Leon. and about half way
between Monterrey and Raynosa.
When work on the Don Martin
irrigation project north OF here IS
completed. probably in a few more
weeks, some Of the 1900 Don
Martin laborers will be used for
highway construction. One crew
will be used to begin construction
of a road from Camaron, Nuevo
Leon. to Eagle Pass. Texas. and
another will start work on a high
way from Camaron to Laredo,
Each OF the two links will be about
100 miles long.
While not only the federal gov
eminent but also state govern
ments. notably in the state Of Nue.
70 Leor, have actively pushed
highway construction in northern
Mexico during the past year. as
never before in history. General
Juan Andrew Almazan. secretary
Of communications and public
works. Is seen here as the guiding
hand back Of the work.
General Almazan recently show

GAME SBOOTLEGGERS" RELY
ON CUNNING DECEPTION

The wild-game "bOotles" season
is at hand, and the Biological Sus-
vey OF the United States Department
of Agriculture finds game-law vio-
lators up to their old tricks. A re-
cent incident serves to show the
tactics employed by hunters and
trappers to sell their birds in viola
tiOn of the migratory bird treaty act.
In a suspiciously heavy 'crate OF
eggs" were found a considerable
number of ducks packed with one
layer of eggs on top. Not only was
the sale of these ducks a violation
of the law, but it appeared that the
ducks had been caught in traps, an
other violation.
With the cooperation of shipping
agencies, the Biological Survey has
effectively reduced the number of
attempts to bootleg" migratory
birds through the mails or by eX-
press. The new Federal possession
limit of 80 ducks and geese is of
much assistance to the game law
enforcement officers. Inspectors are
alert in efforts to detect Illicit sales
of game.

WHAT CAUSES CATARRH?

Somehow or other many people
have the erroneous idea that catarrh
is more or less a chronic head cold.
Such, however, is not the case. A
catarrhal condition results when the
nasal organ has to rid the body of
various impurities and poisons that
have accumulated because some or
gan of elimination is not performing
it stasA. In such case the mucous
membrane of the nose is made to
throw Off the overflow of mucus or
poison. Some common causes of ca
tarrh are constipation, Indigestion,
lack of exercise, and too much cloth
ing. In the case of the clothing the
pores of the skin are not allowed to
function as they should and certain
body poisons are not carried off. Too
much sugar and starchy foods are
also causes of catarrh. The proper
way to treat the trouble is to find the
underlying cause and endeavor to
correct it without paying too much
attention to the nose and mucous
membrane.-The Pathfinder.

CAREFUL DISTRIBUTION
OF WOOD SAVES PAINT

Although the buyer of lumber in
small quantities can seldom contine
his purchases to the kinds of mate
rial that gives best paint service,
nevertheless he can sometimes dis
tribute his lumber to best advantage
among the various parts of his
building, says the Forest Service,
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Some parts are more conspicuous
or more exposed to the weather
than others and the best lumber
may be placed there. Paint wears
out most rapidly where it is expos
ed to direct sunlight and the time
for repainting the entire building is
determined by the part on which the
paint first fails. AS a rule this is
the south side, although local con-
ditions, such as shading by trees
and neighboring buildings, may al
ter conditions.
Light boards whose annual growth
rings consist to a large degree of
light colored, spongy spring wood,
with a small percentage of dark
horny summer wood, generally hold
paint longer than others.

THE WHAT, WHY AND HOW OF
LEAFY GREENS

More than the usual amount Of
thought needs to be given this yeal
to the planning of meals by the
hOmemaker, is the opinion of Miss
Pearl Macdonald, of the Extension
Service of the University of Della
ware.
This is because the drought has
cut short the supply of vegetables
which the homemaker has had to
can and storef or winter use. From
present indications, also, the ship
ped in vegetables will be somewhat
expensive, even if the rural people
could ct into enters where frsh veg
etables may be purchased.
The class of vegetables spoken OF
as leafy green's includes all leaves
of plants used as foOds-lettuce, en-
dive, chard, kale, turnip and beet
tops, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, dam
delion, winter cress, water cress,
celery tops and others.
The leaves of plants have special
value in the diet because of their
richness in vitamins and minerals
needed for good growth (tooth, bone,
nerve, etc., and for aiding the body
to do it's work smoothly and cor
Tectly. Also, the leaves are good
source of supply of roughage.
Our best authorities on food and
nutrition recommend greens in the
diet three or four times week,
since they belong to the group of
protective foods" because they ship
to safeguard the health of both chill
dren and adults.
What can be done this year, asks
Miss Macdonald.
Cabbage has been one of our de-
pendables. But the crop this year is
almost a failure. If you can buy any
shipped in that is not too expensive,
do so. Cabbage keeps we'll and, also,
it can be served raw. We need some
raw fruit and vegetables every day.
If fresh cabbage cannot be had or
is too expensive, buy canned sauer-
kraut. The food value of cabbage is
not lost or changed in the process of
being made into kraut.
There will be times this winter,
no doubt, when shipped i'll spinach
will be cheap. In other years it has
sold, at certain times, as low as ten
cents a pound or three pounds for a
quarter. If you are near enough to
market, take advantage of this price.
Lettuce, when the price permits, will
also help.
Another green which seems to be
abundant and can be used during
the winter and spring is, what is
called, winter or upland cress. 1t is
a wild green and belongs to the mus
tard family and is related to the well
known water cress.
Winter cress, combined with tur-
min top, half ann half or in amy
desired, makes a tasty
dish.
We believe it would be possible for
every family with little plot OF
ground near the house to have bed
of seven top turnip. Being near
the house, it could be watered with
waste water saved from washing
vegetables, ETC., until we have some
rain.

FARM NOTES

Keep fertilizer in a dry place, pre-.
ferably ON a wooden floor above

Hand picking in the winter time

of the destructive bagwOrm, which
during the summer has the curious
habit of crawling about the tree in
its baglike case. Since the insect
overwinters in the egg stage within
the old bag, it is easy to detect the
bags and destroy them.
The safest time of year to burn
brush piles and stumps is in the
late fall, in the winter months, or
in early spring before the ground
litter becomes dry. Even at these
seasons, however, there may be can-

The Bureau of Biological Survey
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-

bird reservations. Five of these are
primarily big-game preserves, one is
a muskrat and beaver preserve, and
birds are protected on ali but one.
Among the most important as bree-

refugees at Big Lake in Arkansas,
Malheur and Upper klamath Lakes
