Reading in Editor and Publisher the
other day that practically every newspaper
IN the United States registered an adver-
Using gain during the month Of October,
set us to thinking.
As every merchant knows, newspaper
advertising is one of the surest signs of the
business times we have, and if advertising
Is picking up, business is picking up and
If busines is picking up, incomes are pick
ing up.
AS we say, it set us to thinking, and we
began to inquire around among Browns
vile and Valley merchants to see if Browns
vile and the Valley was keeping pace with
the rest of the country.
Sure enough, we were and we are.
Brownsville Heard advertising revenues
showed a decided increase over October,
1888, and local merchants tells us that
their business for October, 1884, is well in
advance Of their business for October
1888.
Many Of us have hesitated to admit that
fact, fearing that any slight increases our
respective businesses might have enjoyed
are seasonal, are casued by abnormal local
conditions, i'm other words-are freak in
creases.
But not so.
Business in the Valley, as in the country
over, showed a definite increase for Oc-
tober this year over October of last year,
and the increase is continuing into Novem-
Der.
1t may be said with definiteness that we
are over the business hump, we nave made
the grade.
And the Valley, of course, looks forward
to an even greater business increase than
may be expected by the rest of the country.
With our winter crops coming on, our
port work. our PWA projects, our RFC re-
funding loans, we may Justly expect to
better the ratio of increase shown by the
United States at large.
1t is time for all of us to lose our fear, to
get bold, to step out, to get our share of
the business that is here.

/ have mentioned frequently In this column the
unusual forms OF painful conditions which develop
In certain kinds Of Jobs.
Probably you know about writer's cramp. but are
you aware that there are similar conditions occurring
among teIegraphers. hammerers. and twisters7
Writer'S cramp seems to occrre more often In peo-
pie who are inclined to be nervous and anxious than
In those who are more stoid and robust. However,
overwork SEEM TO play a definite part In its ap-
pearances.
Fourteen OF $4,000 employees In the Postoffice De-
partment in Great Britain had 10 be transferred to
other kinds Of work because they developed writer's
cramp. That, Of course. means that transfer to
another kind Of work is usually the best cure for this
condition.
Sometimes q cure may be obtained BY changing TO
a different position OF sitting when writing. learning
to use a typewriter. or writing with the left hand In
stead of the right.
The cause Of writer's cramp Is believed to be the
development Of some sort Of overstimulation Of the
part of the brain and the nervous system concerned
IN tMe writing technic. The symptoms OF writers
cramp are. OF course, q spasrn and weakness Of the
hand used in writing.
Teleeraphers cramp is something Of the same kind
but occurs to men who punch the telegraph key and
afficts the hand and arm that are concerned in the
work.
The twisters cramp occurs to people in the weaving
industry who spend most Of their time twisting tor
weaving purposes.
IN each instance. OF course, a change in occupation
and a removal Of the particular stress which brought
on the disturbance win relieve the condition.
OF a different character is the effect Of pneumatic
tools on the tissues involved In holding the pneumatic
hammer. TWO factors apparently are involved. One
is the pressure of the tool and the vibration In th'
fingers. especially the left hand. The fingers In Thu
hand are likely TO 20 dead or numb
The other effect is the condition Of cold produced
BY the escape Of compressed air on the hands.
other investigators feel that the tnrm Of tAe tool
the way in which IL Is held, its weight, and the noise
associated with the work may be involved In pro-
ducing the serious changes in the blood vessels which
are later reflected in the tissues Of the hand.
Liability 10 this condition increases as time goe'
on and the only hope for relief is removal from this
type OF work to some other work In which the hand
are not constantly subjected TO the vibration and thu
cold.

to maturity, and fed them never q single
blade of grass.
Instead, the sheep were given a weird
mixture of casein-the solid part Of milk
-celIulose from chemical mills, starch,
vitamin concentrates. and salts containing
essential minerals.
The sheep liked it. They got fat on 1t.
They became, indeed, very healthy and
robust. Sheep that fed on the g~reenest
and lushest grass ever grown would not
have looked better.
And the whole business, somehow,
leaves one with a rather dizzy sense of
admiration. That h~erbivorous animals
can thrive on a mixture of by-products
from chemical factories is about as
startling a reversal of nature as one can
easily imagine.

NEW. YORK. Nov. al met a

them years ago. The man now

She looked &C the face OF her

Syndicates
In Mexico there are syndicates of
employers as well as a General
Confederation OF Labor. The nation
is highly collectivized. The govern
ment could be either fascistic or
communistic. Instead, perhaps due
to Gales, the government follows
a middle courSe-except In one re-
spect. the church. There. the course
Is against the once-powerful church.
But that Is a matter for the Next
cans.
Labor. OF course. Is not entirely
satisfied. The Confederation OF La
Dor recently adopted resolutions
calling for the establishment OF a
six-hour working day with eight
hours pay.
That interests American compan-
les with investments In Mexico.
Editor Reyes tells how Mexico
now protects It's natural resources
against exploitation-and expresses
the belief that Mexicans are be-
ginning 20 profit now from those
resources, so long denied TO them.

PUBLIC TO BE CONSIDERED

Now recognized as tremendous boon to organized baseball, the all- star game, it is delightful to note, is being clutched firmly to the bosoms of the magnates after be- ing created, not by their own but by newspaper enterprise.
 This is quite all right, of course, since it is the property of the magnates, but it is also well for them to consider that public inter est is not to be lightly tossed aside by arbitrary methods or an atti- tude of excluding the fans from participation. By proper methods, combining professional judgment with an expression of public senti- ment, the game can be made an annual institution of rare sporting value.
 It supplies one of the real thrills of any game-the actual perform ance of teams which usually can be put together only on paper.

By JOHN sELBY

NEW YORK, June Swallowing a ghostly canoe trail across north ern Minnesota from Duluth west ward, Neil H. Swanson finally dis covered the story of the "Liberator of The Indian Nations" And then he wrote a novel based on the story, which he calls "The Phantom Emperor"
 The fantastic James Dickson ap- peared in Washington, D. O., in the winter of 1835-36, says MT. Swanson, wearing a uniform of his own design and calling himself a general. He claimed to have served in the Texas revolutionary army, and to be recruiting men for it.
 But in the spring of 1836," says MT. Swanson, "he showed up in Montreal telling a different yarn. He said he intended to raise an army of his own to drive the Mex jeans out of their colonies in New Mexico and California, unite the Indian tribes in great confedera- ton, and set himself up as mon arch of a new nation centered in California

 SI1ANTS - A ALAN GOULD
A ALAN GOULD

The all-star major league ball game, launched as feature of Chicago's Century of Progress last year with an American League triumph, will be played in New Work this July under circum- stances considerably changed from those marking the 1883 enterprise.
 The original idea for the game sprang from the Chicago Tribune, which sponsored widespread popularity contest to decide the makeup of the rival teams. It was grand stuff, from the fan5' viewpoint, and the voting aroused nationwide interest, but the rival baseball leaders found themselves somewhat handicapped, owing to facts which naturally could not have been taken into consideration by public ballot
 For instance, from the National league standpoint, the pitchers nominated by popular vote did not happen to be well prepared for the all-star battle. Carl Hubbell, the Giants ace, had to go Is in- nings to beat the Cardinals only a few days before the big game. Hal Schumacher also was pretty well worn down by heavy duty in the pennant struggle. Bill Halla- han, Cardinal southpaw, did not prove to be worth all the votes cast for him and Lon Warneke, the star young right-hander of the Cubs, didn't get into the battle until it was too late.
 In short, the National league felt it was the victim of good inten- tions, in trying to carry through the original plan, and intends to hand-pick it's best players this season, regardless of outside in- fluences, in the hope of squaring accounts. Although the American league did not need to offer any alibis or find any cause for critic ism, do not doubt it's leaders also will take personal charge of the 1884 team selection, in the natural desire to get the best re- suits.
