state Shoot Here?

BROWNSVILLE Is in line to OBJ
tain the annual Texas skeet shoot
July 4. The Valley is very much in
the limelight among the gunners
since Donna won the Texas and
National team titles at skeet. That.
coupled with a natural desire or the
gunners to visit the Lower Rio
Grande section has caused agita-
ton for the shoot to be held at
Brownsville. Officers Of the state
governing body have expressed
themselves as in favor or the shoot
being held here.
THE subject was preached at the
national shoot In New Orleans and
the Valleyites found the Texas gun
ners in hearty accord with the
plan. Skeet is reaching more and
more men over the state. There are
clubs at san Antonio, Houston,
Austin, Waco. Dallas, San Angelo,
Abilene and other points. The state
Snoot should bring well over a hun
dred experts gunners here. The
Batsell-Wells sporting goods house
has agreed TO fix the necessary
ranges and indications are that the
shoot will be held.
THE chief obstacle TO be hurdled
IN putting over the event will be
that OF raising money for the prizes.
This is the necessary catnip TO draw
out a large field. About a thousand
dollars would be necessary. A good
ly portion OF that amount would
return 10 Valley merchants from
the visitors.
THE Donna gunners gave the
Valley its only national champion
ship. They were led into action b.
Hurt Batsell Of Brownsville, who
shot as a member OF the team at
New Orleans. The best in the coun-
Try, fsom the Pacific 10 the Atlantic
think OF that when the boys come
around TO see you.

ROME, Jan. 7 U.P'-Ancient Italy
paraded in historic pageant today
for modern princess who will some

brought the mellowed history of Sar-
dina, Lombardy, Venice and 1us-
oany to the streets of the capital
passed in tribute before Princess

marry Crown Prince Humbert tomor-

the provinces, which fought their
way to Il united Italy, were pa cked
into every foot of the hours long

The Belgian princess, who stood
with the Italian royal family on lAe
main balcony of the Quirinal palace,
had been received and congratulated
by Pope Plus N earlier in the day.

Chief Justice
Enters Hospital

WASHINGTON, Jan. Z U.P,. -
Chief Justice William Howard Taft
was feeling much better and ap-
peared in good spirits as he entered
Garfield hospital here today for q
weeks rest before taking longer
vacation from his supreme court
duties at Asheville, n. c.
The 71year-old former president
walked unaided into the hospital
shortly after IL o'clock today.
The chief justice had to give up
his duties ON the supreme court
temporarily because of the strain of
overwork and grief at the death of
his brother, Charles P. Taft, which
caused a recurrence of the bladder
trouble that has bothered him from
time to time.
The decision definitely to take Il
rest was believed to have relieved
much of the strain on the chief JUS
tice, leading to relaxation of his
physical condition which allcviated
his pain.

CITY SWEPT BY
BRISK WIND AND
FRIClD WEATHER

A wind of almost hurrican veloc-
ity swept the streets of the city to-
day and made progress along Main
street either by vehicle or on foot
n matter of much caution. This wind,
blowing down from the mountains to
the west of the valley, sprang up
yesterday afternoon and continued
through most of the night.
Patrons of the Fox Imperial the
atre who stood in line last night
waiting their turn to buy tickets,
shivered and shook with the cold.
Pedestrians out on business, or other
wise, hurried along, dreaming of the
old fireplace blazing with logs and
something warm for the inner man.
By early morning the wind had
spent itself, only to gain new i'm
petus, until by noon it was doing its
worst.
Possessors of ultra.short skirts
found it necessary to use both hands
while out of doors to keep the gar
ments from reaching new and entire
ly questionable heights. The wind
blew debris and dust in large clouds
along the streets, making autmobile
traffic rather difficult at times.
Accompanying this wind was a
tinge of coldness and frostiness that
made all shiver and draw their over
coats closer about their bodies.
Twelve men who had sought shelter
in sundry places from the piercing
blasts over night, were picked up
and lodged in the city Jail.
Oldtimers shook their heads wise
ly and prophesied rain and plenty o.
It in very short time, but although
the skies were partly overcast dur

BIRMINGHAM TO
BE- CHIEF POINT
FOR UNION WORK

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Jan. z. W.P)
The long heralded southern organ
ization drive of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor officially has been
launched.
Active work began today after an
all day conference yesterday between
William Green, president Of the fed
Grafton, and national officials with
representatives of 95 crafts from
seven southern states here.
The conference adjourned after
picking Birmingham, Ala, as head
quarters for the drive. A committee
of three, headed by Paul Smith, gen.
eral organizer of the federation of
labor, will be in charge.
More than 200 delegates from in
dustrial centers of the south met
with President Green and heard him
outline a broad constructive policy
of cooperation for the industrial life
of Dixie in an address lasting near
lv two hours.
He dwelt in detail upon the policy
of unionism and the philosophy mo-
tivating the organization which he
leads. He took the opportunity
speaking in the textile belt of North
Carolina-to review the traditional
opposition of the A. F. of l.. to any
thing that smacks of communism.
In this district of the soutll-at
Marion, Gastonia and Clichfield-
left wing members Of the labor
movement launched what local mill
owners characterized as "radical pro-
paganda". They blame that type of
'unionism" for the numerous bloody
clashes.
There was obvious significance in
the act of sponsors of the meeting
yesterday in ejecting before it con-
vened, four alleged Communists.
Green made indirect reference to the
incident.
