A crowd of New Dealers debated
among themselves the other night the
question of whether man had a
better chance of getting ahead in the
New Deal with the backing of Mrs.
Roosevelt or Postmaster General Far
ley. The double chairman-general

1t seems that the remual of in
terest lately in the 1886 elections
has caused tOideT inside respect for
Mr.. FdrleyS duties. This is espe-
ctdlly true among the great ideal
lists toho, heretofore, MOULD not soil

a politician.
There are reports that Farley re-
Gently won big inside victory for his
viewpoint in discussion at the White
House. The rumor Is that son James
Roosevelt or some other budding
young political leader was poaching
on Farley's appointive preserves, or, at
least, that Mr.. Farley's friends thought
so. Farley is supposed to have taken
the matter up to the top.
Whether the rumor is true or not,
the result is the same. The double
chairman-general is now on top of
the Washington heap.
Confidential reports indicate that
Britain's naval forces in the Mediter-
ranean now outnumber Mussolini two
to one. They are so strategically
situated that they could brush his
navy of the waves in three weeks.
The geographical boot that Is Italy
could be laced tight enough to make
Mussolini's nation scream for food.
But the French also have q fleet in
the Mediterranean. The question is
what they would do.
The consumers guide. issued by the
A. A. A. to give helpful price advice,

ers' guide believes that consumption
Is the end and purpose of production. f"

Captain Ayers

The Valley climate and other IA
cilities are ideal for establishment
Of army posts. Capt. Ben VAN Of
the 18th Cavalry told members Of
the Brownsville Lions club at their
meeting here Tuesday noon.
Weather Is an important factor
in determining costs Of giving Of
ficers and men military training
the captain said. and he expressed
opinion that the conditions here
are among the best to be found In
the United States.
Rarely ever. he said, Is the
equitable Valley climate too hot or
too cold for military training pur-
poses. In the north. the army
spends large sums for heating OF
army posts while the fuel consump-
ton here Is practically nothing. "A
