Remember Belgium!

It seems that there IS going to be a war between
Italy and AbySsinia; and one Of the surest symp-
toms Is the appearance Of the first crop Of atrocity
stories.
A communique issued by the Italian Ministry Of
Propaganda announces that Ethiopian tribesmen
have ben mutilating defenseless children and at
lacking innocent natives along the borders. Eth
opian raiding parties, 1t Is said. have crossed the bor-
ders, carrying people off to slavery and committing
divers shocking atrocities.
It all has a familiar ring, somehow; and the thing
for the American reader to remember Is that such
stories, coming at a time like this, mean absolutely
nothing. The most exhaustive investigations after
the World War showed that the overwhelming ma
jority Of atrocity stories were made up out Of whole
cloth.
Wherever such stories come from-Ethiopia, China,
Manchuria or elSewhere-the sensible reader wiz
take them with a large, double handful Of salt.

McAllen Favors Historical
Museum at Brownsville
Press)

BY every right are proposals made that q Valley
historical museum be established at Brownsville. For
proof OF this statement read Mrs. Florence johnson
SCOTS "old Rough and Ready ON the Rio Grande, ?
recently off the press.
1t was within a few miles Of Brownsville on that
now memorable day OF May 8, 1s46 that General
Zachary cold Rough and Ready'O Taylor's gallant
men repulsed the forces Of the Mexican General Pedro
de Ampudia and won the historic battle Of Palo Alto.
Only a few hours later he engaged the Mexicans again
and won, in a brilliant display Of military strategy,
the battle of the Resaca de la Palma, May 9, 1886,
within a stones throw Of Brownsville.
It was at old Fort Taylor, now Fort Brown, at
Brownsville, that Major Jacob Brown fell MORALLY
wounded May 6. 1876. during q six-day lombard
ment from Matamoros. and died at 2 p. m May 8,
1886. Fort Brown is named for him.
1t was during the Brownsvile-P Point Isabel engage
ments which brought the two above-named battles
that Major Samuel Ringgold. for whom Fort Ring
gold at Rio Grande City Is named. gave UP his life
In line OF duty while leading one flank Of the Amer
lean army into action.
These are only q few reasons which support such
a museum. Relics by the hundred no doubt exist
from that one campaign alone. not to mention scores
Of other incidents in Valley history.
A Valley historical museum at Brownsville would
be right in every sense Of the word.

Titles For Sale

Supreme Court Justice Salvatore A. Gothic o.
New York said no more than the vast majority Of his
fellow citizens we're already thinking when he un-
burdened himself recently Of those scathing COM
ments ON the ways In which rich Americans rush
into marriages with titled Europeans.
Such alliances. said the Judge, ~are fraught with
peril and almost invariably end In disaster"
He made this comment after hearing an annul-
ment case In which 1t was shown that q young
European countess was sent over here TO get her
man" in any way she could. and that q vast deal Of
deception was p~racticed to gain the end. There "a
nothing unusual about this. American title hunters
are mostly suckers-and. In the long run, they
usually get Just what the sucker always gets.

superflOus hairs on your skin. especially where they
show to your discomfort, can be removed BY use
Of electric current. but when you are having this done.
you should see that only a competent operator does
the job.
The idea Of electric removal Of hair from the skin
occurred to doctors many years ago. but it Is only
within the past decade that devices particularly suit
able TO this work have been developed.
Now electricity Is employed for the removal Of
small moles, warts and superflous hair. and for coag-
ulating and destroying dilated blood vessels and sim
liar processes.
In the removal Of superflous hair a current Of suf-
ficient strength is applied to the hair root TO destroy
the lining Of the cells from which the hair grows.
II electrolysis Is properly carried out by this method.
1t is possible to have q smooth and almost invisible
scar and the unwanted hair will completely diSap-
pear.
This method Is far less dangerous than many others
now used. especially including removal OF s~uperflous
hair by the X-ray. The danger In using X-ray for
this purpose Is that serious changes in the skin may
follow its application. because a dosage Of the
ultra short rays sufficient to destroy the hair must
penetrate the skin. which may do considerable harm.
In the hands Of people who are experienced. cleo
trolysiS does not yield any such serious changes. This
method, Of course, /. painstaking and time-consuming.
An operator Of average skin Is able to remove from
30 to so hairs In an average patient at one time.
However, from 10 to 20 per cent Of the hairs that are
removed may return because the cells have not been
completely destroyed.
When the hair is coarse and thick, removal Is much
easier than when 1t Is fine and downy.
In this procedure the person who Is removing the
hair puts the needle point into the hair follicle and
turns on the current. The hair is pulled with a for
eeps Immediately after.
After the treatment. it is customary to wash the
part with alcohol and to apply a mild antiseptic pow
der to prevent secondary infection. 1t is customary in
this method to use the treatment In intervals OF five to
seven days.
Where a few scattered coarse hairs are involved, the
difficulty is not great. But where the entire body is
covered with s~uperflous hair or where large areas are
involved. 1t Is desirable to limit the hair removal to
those areas where its presence seems particularly I'M
slightly.

ticians propose to apply the same
treatment to opponents OF the taxa
ton, Guffey and AAA measures.
Next step Is to create a permanent
Committee Of Investigation for use
whenever needed.
