son who was its first dictator now seems to think

Mexico Acts For Flood Control

Recently announced determination of the Mexican
government to do something for the protection Of
the southern side Of the Rio Grande when the stream
Is in flood should spur action on flood control plans
announced by the American International Boun-
Diary commission. embodied in the West bill now be-
fore congress.
The Mexican government announced a series Of
plans, feasible in every respect. which will not only
afford protection to the Mexican side Of the river
in case Of overflow. but which will eventually afford
irrigation facilities to a vast acreage. Included in the
plans is a dam across the San Juan river, perennial
producer Of floods in the lower Rio Grande.
As we understand present plans. the water o. the
Ban Juan would be taken from that river from be-
hind the proposed dam, cutting a large part Of the
flow Of that stream from the Rio Grande.
The San Juan flows entirely in Mexican territory.
and no one can question the right Of the Mexican
government to do as II pleases with its waters. On
the other hand. much OF the irrigation supply of the
American side Of the Rio Grande originates in this
same San Juan. which joins the Rio Grande Just
above Rio Grande City.
1t Is not exaggerating TO say that with the San
Juan waters held back for the purpose Of irrigation
on the Mexican side. there may be times when the
irrigation supply for the Lower Valley Of Texas will
be seriously curtailed. and even cut off altogether.
The remedy lies. Of course. in the construction OF
the dams proposed by the West bill which will i'm
pound the waters OF the Rio Grande above Rio
Iduue Olyt y OLly ~ lHe purpose OF llOOQ On
troll. but for the purpose Of providing an ever sure
source Of supply for irrigation waters for the lower
reaches Of the river.
The situation is obvious. has been obvious for a
good many years. Americans who have studied the
control and conservation problem of the Lower Rio
Grande have pointed out for years that Mexico will
be well within its rights should that government ever
decide TO dam the San Juan. and that by damming
the San Juan the flow OF the Rio Grande should be
seriously cut down in the Valley section.
It now appears that the Mexican government is
determined not only to afford protection for the ter
ritory between Reynosa and MatamotoS and for the
city Of Matamoros. but is equally determined to de-
velop the rich agricultural lands Of northern Tamau-
lipas. With both Of these aims the American side Of
the Valley can have nothing but hearty sympathy.
However. realizing that our own supply of irriga-
ton water may be seriously threatened, II behooves
us to exert every ounce OF pressure upon congress for
the passage Of the West bill, that our own agricul-
tural existence may not be threatened.

In July. 1885. some so years ago. the famous French
chemist, Louis Pasteur. gave the first Pasteur treat
ment to a human being.
Today. as a result Of the Investigations which We
made. the disease called hydrophobia. or rabies, is I'M
der control. and the number Of deaths and cases OF
serious disease. which used to be its inevitable toll.
has diminished; in some countries they even have
disappeared.
For instance. rabies or hydrophobia, seldom II ever
method and because there is a quarantine on dogs
and other animals brought into that country.
The manner in which Pasteur made his famous dis
covery was relatively simple. AS the result Of his OBJ
servations. he determined that the virus which causes
death in hydrophobia attacks the nervous system.
He took the brain Of a dog that had died OF hydro
phobia and inoculated the material under the skin
Of other animals. These animals then developed the
disease. Pasteur. therefore. felt sure that the brain
contained the poison.
He then tried to work out some way in which this
poison or virus could be weakened. He found that
this could be brought about by drying it in a tube
and keeping it in that condition for some time.
This material was injected into dogs. and 1t was
found that it would keep the dogs from getting hydro
phobia when they we're bitten by mad dogs.
Pasteur's first experiments we're completed in May.
1884. but his work was confirmed by other scientists
over a period Of several months before he announced
It's completion and before the method became firmly
established.
One day. about so years ago. a shepherd boy named
Jean Baptiste Dupille saw a mad dog attack a group
of six children. He rushed to their aid, and in the
struggle. was severely bitten. Pasteur gave the boy
his unique treatment, and the y~oungster lived.
Today a monument stands outside the Pasteur In
stitute in Paris. erected to the memory Of the boy who
saved the lives Of the six children and who was first
to prove the efficacy Of the Pasteur treatment.
There are few patients to whom monuments have
been erected in the history Of medicine. and the
monument to Jean Dupile is probably the first Of its
kind.

Whatever else may be said about the post-supreme

the future as any period through which We have
