An Air Defense Base AT
Port Isabel

With the passage Of the mammoth air defense bill
by the last session Of congress. Veterans Of Foreign
Wars post at Brownsville. Inauguration Of the proposal
to establish such a base at Port Isabel, continue their
activity for their favored project.
Although the bill was not what the Valley inter-
ests desired, stin proponents Of the Port Isabel loca-
ton see prospects Of putting the Valley project
through, and have been assured the continued CO.
operation OF Senator Morris Sheppard. chairman OF
the Senate Military Affairs committee.
In their brief for Port Isabel, the National Defense
committee Of the local post very appropriately points
out that while the eastern seaboard Is taken care OF,
come what may. the s~trategical border points are left
out in the cold, and further points out the ease with
which many Of the vital military and naval posses
sions Of the United States may be reached from a
base located here in the Valley.
The Veterans Of Foreign Wars and those associated
with them In this project have done a worthy piece
OF work in calling the attention Of military and
naval authorities to the advantages offered by the
Valley location. Their efforts deserve success, and
whether or not they win the fight for the military
air base, they have at least given the gentlemen Of
the military something over which to ponder.

Nation Is Using Only
Half Enough Milk
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

Editor, Journal Of the American Medical Association,
and Of Hygeia, the Health Magazine
Milk has been called from time to time the most
nearly perfect food and has received a good many
other encomiums as to its quality In the diet.
It has been said that every child should have at
least a quart Of milk each day, this including, Of
course. the milk taken in soups, in cereals and des-
serts as well as that drunk from a glass.
Figures for the United States as a whole show that
we actually are getting about 19l quarts Of milk a
person q year, which means about one-half the milk
scheduled for O healthful diet.
In 1888, according to the Department Of Agricul-
ture, the amount used was 154 quarts a person a year.
In 1894 investigators made a study Of the con-
sumption Of milk In Philadelphia. They found that
the highest weekly average to the person was in
Jewish families. using ass quarts of milk. followed by
the native white and the Irish with ass quarts, and
the North European groups with 234.
Negroes we're found to use only l57 quarts Of milk
a week, and families from the Mediterranean district
lsl quarts. These same groups also showed the low
est average In use Of canned milk and butter, but II
is known that families from the South European areas
use a great deal Of olive oil.
Studies were made Of the extent to which milk
enters the diet in relationship to the family income.
Fresh milk Is used. OF course. largely by those Of fairly
good incomes.
Persons using condensed or evaporated milk used
II in 81 per cent Of cases because OF its relatively
cheap price: In 30 per cent because Of its convenience:
and in 10 per cent Of cases because the user liked
that kind Of milk.
From the point Of view Of nutritional value, the
evaporated milk is Of course equal to the fresh.
When people we're asked why they consumed milk,
Is per cent OF the reasons had to do with its health
value, S per cent with doctors orders. rs per cent be-
cause they liked milk.
When people who did not take much milk were
asked why. 40 per cent expressed q dislike, 80 per
cent said it cost too much. and 8 per cent thought It
was too fattening. These figures show the extent to
which the educational campaign has been effective.
OF more interest, however. from the point Of view
Of public health. is the fact that 30 to 90 per cent Of
children between the ages Of / and 10 drink milk
regularly. From 8 to 10 years Of age there was a de-
cline. and from 9 to II years on a really extensive
decline.
The schools and school lunch have come to be an
important factor in the movement for drinking more
milk as a significant part Of the human diet.
Today milk is a safe substance, controlled by pub
lie health rules, but not yet is it taken TO the extent
that it should be and not yet do growing children
receive as much milk as they should have for the
future benefit Of the development Of the race.
