1t is high time that the Valley in particular and
south Texas in general became tourist conscious.
For years the chambers of commerce and newspapers
and land developers of this section have been boosting and
preaching our land as a potential tourist center, and dur
ing the past few years we have seen the promise of full
fillment of those prophecies.
Tourists are coming to the Valley and to south Texas
in ever-increasing numbers. The past summer and winter
saw high marks established, and all indications point to
the breaking of those records during the present fall and
winter months.
And yet, the Valley as a whole does not seem to re-
allze that the tourist trade is here and is rapidly becom-
ing one of our greatest business assets.
We pick up the paper and read that so many visitors
registered at the chamber of commerce during the month
we note passing automobiles bearing licenses from prac-
tically every state in the Union, and somehow or other we
fail to realize that there are visitors in our midst.
The average citizen, which means all of us. is not
struck with the fact that strangers are in our midst. and
we all of us fail in those little courtesies which cost so
little in effort to give and which mean so much in creating
goodwill towards our section.
That good old western custom of greeting every
passer-by on the streets should be revived in the Valley.
You know, yourself, how at home it makes you feel to be
greeted with a cheerful "Howdyi" as you walk down
main street. Just imagine how at home it would make
the visitor from a thousand miles away feel to be greeted
by every one he met in the course of the day.
First impressions will stay with one, and every visitor
who comes to the Valley this winter is a potential resident
of the Valley. Make him feel at home, and the chances
of his becoming a permanent resident are increased many
times over.
We would like to see uniform visitors courtesy cards
used by every Valley ommuni cards to be attached to
every automobile bearing an out-ofthe-Valley license
just as soon as it is parked on any of our Valley streets.
Calling attention to our hundreds of miles of paved
advise caution in driving, notify of traffic regulations, but
above all should carry a most cordial greeting to the Low
er Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
We cannot help but believe that a most favorable re-
action to the Valley and to Valley folk would result from
our visitors finding these cards of greeting attached to
the steering wheels of their autos.

Vitamin A Is also called the fat

In the fat OF egg yolk and finally
In the fat Of cod liver oil. It Is, OF

such leafy vegetables as spinach,
water cress. lettuce, celery leaves
and the tops Of turnips. beets and
radishes. This vitamin Is also
abundant in liver, kidneys and
sweetbreads. but is not .1und to
any extent In lean meats or In the
body fats OF animals, such as tailow

Numerous attempts have been
made TO isolate vitamin A In pure

Walking the Channel

Karl Naumestnik. an Austrian schoolmaster. aston
ished the world the other day when he walked across the
English channel as .nonchalantly As most people walk
across the street. He was wearing water skis, shaped
like canoes. For eight hours he trod on the waves, with
all the assurance that Peter had in his first few steps on
a Galilean sea.
This invention is interesting because it is in such direct
antithesis to the modern trend. Most inventions tend to do
away with physical exercise. People are riding instead
of walking. But the water skis demand exercise. For
this reason maybe they won't be very popular. A canoe is
so much more comfortable.
