Wise Investments

Recent opening Of the new golf course Of the
Brownsville Country Club again calls to attention the
numerous courses which dot this section OF the coun-
try.
Time was. and not 50 long ago. when the opening
OF a golf course was looked upon with sneers by the
bulk Of cur population as being another faddist at
tempt OF the idle rich 10 amuse themselves. Our gen
eral public was unable TO take their golf seriously.
Today we find men and women OF all financial
classes getting needed exercise and mental relaxation
on the golf course.
The minister Of the gospel plays a round with the
druggist. The newspaper man and the banker meet
for once on equal terms.
Our golf courses are proving to be the great level
es Of the nation. and public interest in golf is be-
coming akin 10 the interest displayed IN football and
baseball. Ardent fans are Developing among those who
never have and perhaps never viii play the game.
In the Valley We have courses at Edlnburg. Nc
Allen, Weslaco. Mercedes. Harrington and Brownsville
A considerable sum of money has been invested In
these courses. and wisely invested.
Opportunity for pleasure. wholesome and relaxing,
provided to residents or the Valley BY these courses
Is not the least OF the advantages they have brought
Secondly. and just as important though not more
important. is the absolute cash value to a tourist
section which the possession OF attractive courses
provides.
1t would appear that very few. If any. winter visit
ors leave home without their golf clubs.
Playing golf In the winter gives the tourist visitor
IN the South the same kind Of kick that a sleighride
would give the Southerner visiting in the North during
the winter months.
Our Northern visitors just must have their golf. and
they must have It TO the extent that they will not
knowingly spend their winters in a section where
their hobby may not have fun sway.
AS important as good hotels. as climate. as any Of
our other attractions as a resort center are. our golf
courses rank along with the first.
AS time goes on we win see more OF that sort Of
thing. We will have public tennis courts. handball
courts and the like in our Valley cities.
The golf courses have led the way. the others will
follow. and all will be wise investments from several
standpoints.

Liverpool cables reported local and

NEW YORK

NEW YORK-The novelty az Soc
iety women engaging In business,
which started such a flutter and
chatter a couple OF years ago. has
completely worn off. It's almost as
commonplace In New York today as
women smoking cigarets or letting
their bobbed hair grow back.
I'm the interim, however. those
society girls who have cared to take
jobs have established a business
like system as efficient as any en-
ployment bureau for those in i'm
mediate need OF employment. But
don't think for a moment that. in
these times. there are not plenty
Of debS and sub-debs who can use
the money they make-if and when
they get employment.
To be sure, many OF them laugh
and gurgle and recite, in their best
finishing school accent, something
about this being great fun-but,
scores Of them are hard pressed and
need the money. The Junior League
has, for some time now, maintained
an employment bureau and It's a
buster place than you might ina
CINE. Most OF the places secured are
specialized: certain types or model
ing. certain branches Of salesman
ship and buying and comparative
shopping.
III Is interesting. incidentally, that
most OF the society folk who tackled
business were more than passing
successful.
One Of the outstanding instances
has been that of Grand Duchess
Marie of Russia. once a leading fig
ure In the cars court who came
10 America with the definite neces-
sity OF making good. Her autobiog-
raphy has not only been among the
best sellers but is a fascinating hui
man document likely to attract read
ers for years TO come. Meanwhile,
she has achieved success with one
