u OF the American Mexican water
commission has asked sl50.OO0
to be used in making a preliminary
survey Of the river in this section.
This is the result of a recent Wis
IL to the Valley by Mr.. Lawson and
consultations with those interested
in the handling and disposal Of the
waters of the Rio Grande-
AS the Valley grows ard develop
n,ent increases on the Mexican side
distribution and control of the Rio
Grande supply will become n OF
tie major projects OF the Valley.
While there is no water shortage
at present. the future will develop
the proposition OF how TO handle
tie known ample supply for all time
into a matter to be given serious
consideration.
Much Of the water used in the
valley originates in Mexico and both
altions are equally Involved.
sNNEVERAL solutions have been set
~. forth, one Of the latest being
that Of i~mpounding the waters
in the upper reaches Of the river.
This is looking ahead for some
wears. but some day it may bob up
as a project second only 10 hat OF
the Elephant Butte.
DATES on canned goods TO de-
velop the Valley industry have
- recently been gaining the atten-
ton of the public. The Kiwanis
club a few DAYS ago sought TO start
a move locally with reference 10
this. The chamber Of commerce
had already been working on it for a
number Of years. and for the past
week a hearing has been in prog
ress before the United States inter-
state commerce commission.
j f. Blanton OF the chamber OF
commerce says there is little chance
for a protest or a petition until that
hearing Is over. What the Valley
contends is that II could ship twice
the canned products for general
consumption II given a cheaper
rate This in turn would double the
output of the Valley factories.

A. Monsees Of Brownsville gets his
role and line and slips down 70 the
cuff and brings home the bacon in
the form Of fish.
Mr.. Monsees caught a red fish
Weighing about Is pounds on a very
Stall pole and line. He believes 1t
le largest Of It's kind ever caught
a he Valley on a small pole. II
cl him about an hour to land the

ago. he says his arm Is still sore. It

An advertisement recently appear
" ed in The Brownsville Herald
comparing the odor Of roses With
that of boiling cabbage and giving
that Of the boiling cabbage quite a
bit the worst Of the deal.
This seemed 70 peeve Harry Sex
ton. formerly OF The Herald, and
rev in Washington with john Gar
ner Harry claims boiling cabbage
smells good and intimates that adj
verse references should not be made
u IL from a patriotic standpoint so
far as the Valley is concerned.
Boiled cabbage and ham hook IS
good. Harry. 80 is baked duck. But
10 save US We do not see where we
a admit they smell good when
cooking But that is a personal
matter Of taste. or smell.
vITHICH causes Us to remark that
wv science claims that taste and
smell are so closely allied that
the two can not be separated. 1t is
said that when tasting one is really
doing more smelling than tasting.
To prove this the old test of the ap-
PIE and onion is made. The subject
is blindfolded and bis nose stopped
up-tight. A bite OF apple Is given
and a bite Of onion Is given without
tie knowledge Of the subject. and
he is asked what is in his mouth. It
IS said the subject is likely 10 haz-
ard guesses OF anything ranging
from cocoanut TO garlic.
IF the cold weather predicted for
tonight keeps you indoors. or We
have another prolonged rainy
srell. those wishing TO try further
apartments Of this kind might try
OF locating objects In a room
Adfolded.
Directions: Leave the room and
let those inside decide upon some
object which can be reached. Re-
turn, have yourself blindfolded. Then
ask for the arm Of some other per-
son. Have that person look con-
stantly at the object keeping il ever
In mind. while you grasp the wrist
Of the extended arm.
By holding the arm lightly be-
tween the fingers. that person will
unconsciously pull you toward the
object. and though blindfolded YOU
can walk to it and place his hand
on IL.
