IN the Government service.
Sportsmen See Conditions.
It may seem curious to some that
sports and wild life and conservation
organizations seem to be taking the
most active part The likely reason
is that they are the persons who see
the results ofv pollution by personal
contact. They wade the streams and
see fish lying dead by hundreds and
thousands. They have waded through
streams SO filthy and so nauscating
that their love Of nature, if nothing
else, impels them to do something
about the situation. People prima-
rily interested in public health have
multitude of health problems to
consider, and may not observe the
same results unless contagion or cer-
tain diseases break out which accu-
rately can be traced to pollution.
Now just what is it that these or
CARNATIONS and individuals propose
to do? II, as have suggested, they
represent a fair cross section Of the
American people, what is their plan?
can answer that in a general way
by stating that after completion Of our
Washington conference the two plans
formulated by our special committee
were sent to all conferees for a vote.
The majority of them favored the plan
of vigorous Federal action. Since then
the Federal plan has met with univer-
sal approval by all conservation or
ganizations who have heard of it, in
cluding the Delaware River Tri-State
Anti-Pollution Conference, the Anti
Pollution Committee of the American
Fisheries Society, the American Game
Conference, the Pennsylvania Fedora
ton of Sportsmen's Clubs, the West
Virginia Affiliated Sportsmen's Asso-
citation, the Kanawha Game and Fish
Association Of West Virginia, the Nor
folk (Va) Chapter of the Izaak Wal
ton League and by the American Game
Conference at its convention in New
York.
Plan Outlined.
Their plan, which 7 have described
as the Federal plan, is based upon the
following propositions:
First. that pure water, next to air,
is the most absolute necessity of life,
Stream pollution abatement is not a
mere luxury to be ranked with what
might be called comfort Improvements,
such as new roads, bridges. public
buildings and the like, but it is so abb
solute a necessity that to temporize
longer with the problem is to court
national disaster.
Second, the very worst stream pollu-
ton is to be found in the great inter-
state waterways and their tributaries.

OLD RIVALR|ES

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. - Football

Intersectional clashes between 1885
giants crowd Columbia Rutgers. Sy-

Yet behind each of them stands
some of the most glorious gridiron
history ever written.
The Oldest and most traditional
meeting is that Of Columbia and
Rutgers, who first played during the
days when there were 20 men on a
side.
That was in 1870 when Columbia.
playing its first game, was defeated
by 6-3 by the bewhiSkered stars who
were ready to die for dear old Rut-
gers" Both those teams played with
out coaches and it wasn't until 1899
that William V. B. Van Dyke became
Rutgers first pilot, and 1898 that
George F. Sanford became the first
Columbia coach.
Rutgers First
Rutgers, along with Princeton. was
the first college in America to play
football when, in 1869, it split two
games with the Orange and Black.
Rutgers won the first game, Ga, and
Princeton came back later in the
year to triumph, 80.

Rutgers eight and four ending in
ties. Their last meeting was in 1902,
when Columbia, won, 43-0.
Saturdays second traditional meet
ing will mark the first time that
Pennsylvania and Yale, two other
nineteenth century rivals, have met
in Philadelphia since 1889. The last
meeting was in 1902, when Columbia
won, 43-0.
The last meeting was year ago,
when Yale won at New Haven, l4-6,
in the first game since 1925. Yale
and Penn have played IA times, with
Penn scoring its only triumph, 1873, !
in 1925.
The Syracuse Cornell game will |
mark the first time the traditional |
game has been played in Syracuse
since 1898.
Relations between these upstate |
rivals were renewed in 1888 and 1884 |
at Ithaca. Syracuse won both times. |
In y meetings, Cornell has rolled |
up sos points to Syracuse's 3-an of |
them scored in the last two years.

Announcement Of Senator Jim Neal to The
Brownsville Herald Austin correspondent that the
Kennedy county road contract win be let at the Sep
TENDER meeting Of the highway commission came as
an agreeable surprise to Valley people Tuesday.
So much has been said. 50 many announcements

ten about that road that when and n It Is ever
built, even its completion win come as an anti
climax.
No one doubts the sincerity OF Senator Neal In his
struggle for the construction OF the road, and every
one hopes that the Texas Highway commission viii

contract win be let at the next meeting Of the COM

But the Valley win be pardoned q feeling Of

Flood Control Now Assured

When President Roosevelt signed the West bin on
Tuesday, he made possible a basic and fundamental
Forward step in the development of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley. Perhaps more important than all
otner provisions Of the bill is that item which in
seructs the Department Of State to proceed to nego-
tiate a treaty with Mexico providing for an equitable
division Of the waters Of the Rio Grande.
1t has been no secret, neither in the United States
nor In Mexico. that the Valley might very possibly
at some time in the future. be placed in a precarious
position as regards a supply OF water for irrigation
purposes. Much Of the water which flows down the,
Rio Grande in this section originates In Mexico and
comes to us from the San Juan and Salado rivers
Were the flow OF these rivers TO be cut off in Mexico,
as Is entirely feasible and possible in the case OF the
San Juan. our irrigation farmers would be seriously
threatened.
On the other hand. 1t has been established that
by the construction Of a series OF impounding dams
the flood waters Of the river may be held in check
and at the same time conserved for use In times OF
low water.
To heal the one condition and to bring about the
other. O treaty with Mexico has long been realized
as the only possible solution. The preliminary steps
TO this treaty have already been taken and a good
groundwork laid.
Members of the Mexican section Of the International
Boundary commission have made frequent trips to the
Valley, are thoroughly conversant with developments
here. Many times, publicly and privately. they have
expressed themselves and their country as being
willing to act in the spirit OF utmost cooperation.
They have stated their intention Of adopting a fair
attitude toward the Valley and OF doing everything
possible to conserve and make sure the development
already existing and to make possible additional fu-
ture development.
The flood control angle OF the West bill follows the
water conservation proposal Real flood control
will not be possible without the impounding dams
which will make possible water conservation. Tie
already existing flood control works are the initial
step In the scheme which has been approved by the
engineers Of the boundary commission. Constructed
by the counties Of Hidalgo and Cameron, under the
West bin these works are taken over by the federal
government, and the responsibility OF upkeep and
further construction is taken from the counties and
given to the boundary commission.
Passage OF this bill and its signing by the presi-
dent marks a great forward step in securing the
Valleys development, and marks the triumph Of
those who have for years sought to bring about this
Leaders OF the various Valley irrigation districts
have been behind the project made possible by this
law for years, and they have found a ready ally in
CONGRESSMAN west and IN L. Fl. Lawson. United
States Boundary commissioner.
To all who have worked for this bill the Valley
owes q real debt OF gratitude.

As much as has been done about pimples and black
heads, it has been pointed out that a completely salts
factory treatment has not yet been developed.
True, the use OF X-ray has helped In controlling
many cases which previously could not be corrected.
But there still are cases which fail to respond to any
Of the methods now used. One reason Is that we
are not yet certain Just what Is the cause Of acne,
as this skin trouble is called.
The pimpie begins as a blackhead. It is the gen.
eral opinion that the blackhead begins by some sort
Of mechanical blocking Of a tiny duct or hole from
which a secretion ordinarily would come for pur-
poses Of olling the skin and keeping 1t moist.
Sometimes due to external irritation. such as comes
from oil. wax or paraffin. the pimples form promptly
without blackheads AS soon as the blackhead forms.
however, there is needed only a small amount Of ir-
~ritation and infection for the pimple to follow.
Because some people develop pimples and others do
not. various suggestions have been made as to the
cause. Some investigators are convinced that the
glands by their activity make the difference: others
are certain that food Is primarily responsible. and
particularly overindulgence In sugar.
Among recent methods OF treatment for acne are
ultraviolet rays. vitamins and vaccines. A few doc
tors have found the ultraviolet rays useful. but the
majority Of opinion indicates that its usefulness is
very limited.
doses Of vitamin d were helpful in acne, but attempts
to confirm these opinions have failed.
A great many physicians have used vaccines made
from germs associated with acne, but the majority
Of evidence fails to support any real usefulness in
this method In most cases.
The X-ray seems to be a really dependable agent
and is apparently able to secure a good result in as
many as 80 per cent OF cases treated over a period OF
from three to four months. The x-ray. however, is
powerful and should not be used by any except ex-
perienced physicians.
Everyone now recognizes that anemia. constipation
or other intestinal disturbances should be proper
" treated as one Of the first steps In taking care OF
acne. II there are any special sensitivities to va
rious substances. these should be brought under con-
troll.
x-ray does not seem to be a permanent method
Of treatment In those under Is years Of age. For
those between IS and Is. however, the X-ray seems
to be the method Of choice.
