America reborn It is reassuring to learn that the United States Postoce Department has reversed It. Jim" Farley wouldn't let us down. And so it has come to pass that large baby turtles may now be sent through the mails Heretofore the only turtles that your avorte mailman would deliver to you were small baby turtles. But fashions will change and the truth will out If the eager reader must know here are the rules "They must be packed in moss and placed in large parafn- box If than three turtles are shipped in one box, 1t must be strong box." American liberty is not lost In spots is increasing
 We can't say that we will want to mail baby turtle, but 1t gives us pleasant glow of satisfaction to know that we could mail one if we wanted to.

A Step at a Time

Necessity, We have been told. is the mother OF in
vention. and it may be that the experiences Of the
past few years coupled with the none too bright
prospects for the future. will prove the stimuli need
I'd to bring the citrus industry out Of the doldrums
and place Valley owners Of citrus orchards on the
road to profits and a fair return from their invest
ments.
1t cannot be just 9 coincidence that several Of the
leading citrus growers of the Valley have seen fit to
express their views in person and by letter to The
Brownsville Herald during the past weeks, and that
The Herald is receiving letters from absentee land
owners expressing their conviction that something
must be done about the citrus industry Of the Valley
and done in a hurry.
Such a revival of interest is most encouraging. but
rs We said above, it is undoubtedly born Of despair
over the present situation OF the industry. which
is far from encouraging.
One thing is noted. that most of those who are
devoting time and thought to the subject have most
excellent ideas and convictions. but most of these
ideas and convictions are far too ambitious for
adoption by an industry that has very little avail
able cash to spend on promotion.
AS we see it, the citrus problem Of the Valley very
readily resolves itself into three divisions. We list
them in what appears to us to be their logical Sc
quence.
l. Control Of the bulk OF the tonnage under one
organization or combination of organizations. elimin-
ating 80 per cent OF the $50 firms and individuals
who shipped citrus from the Valley during the past
season.
2. Creation of q proper sales organization. or-by
taking advantage OF existing sales organization. the
securing Of proper distribution and representation.
This division appears to us to be most conclusively
dependent upon the accomplishment OF the first. for
without control Of the tonnage. no one organization
can afford the expense Of the kind Of sales organiza-
ton that ia boasted by California, for example.
g.. A proper advertising campaign. And this is
certainly a corollary on the two previous divisions.
although perhaps more flexible in that by the crea-
ton Of a master brand cooperative advertising might
be started at once. And certainly advertising can
begin in a small way and extend its activities as
sales warrant. Most of the advertising campaigns
proposed 50 far have been in general. entirely too
ambitious and have not taken into consideration
propositions one and two. the control Of the tonnage
and existing distribution.
A child learns to creep before walking and totters
along from chair to chair before attempting to run.
So with the citrus industry Of the Valley. We are
at present so far from the observance Of the first
principles of business sense in the conduct OF the
industry that we must get back to fundamentals and
work our way out Of the slough of disrupted market
ing conditions before We attempt to emulate those
who have long since passed through the initial
stages.

An Irish doctor. who was also a wit. said that
there are two kinds Of deafness-one due to wax in
the ear. which could be cured by Swinging. and the
other moi due 10 wax and not durable.
He said this about 100 years ago and 1t would be
nice TO be able to say that medicine has learned so
much about hardness Of hearing since then that
practically all such cases could now be benefited or
controlled. Unfortunately, the advancement has not
been so tremendous.
There may still be some hardness OF hearing due
TO wax In the ear passage, but more people nowadays
know enough about hygiene to provide the necessary
cleanliness. There are still, however, a great num-
Der Of cases OF hardness Of hearing due TO measles,
scarlet fever, meningitis. and mumpS. the common
cold and influenza.
There are still a lot Of people who have become
hard Of hearing due to infected tonsils and adenoids
which we're not removed during childhood. There are
still a considerable number of cases resulting from
the marrying Of near relations or cousins, with hard
ness Of hearing in the family.
Increased bathing and swimming has somewhat
multiplied the number OF cases due to infections
arising from that source. There are also some cases
of special susceptibility to drugs, like quinine and the
salicylates.
Now. a good many Of these causes are comfortable.
The right kind Of early attention to acute infectious
diseases and complications developing during these
diseases WOuAu cut greatly the nunOtI u ucdlncSo
arising from such sources.
Unhealthy tonsils and adenoids ought TO be re-
moved as soon as their condition Is determined. II
is possible to control sanitary conditions in bathing
pools and on beaches, and to teach people right
hygiene Of nose and throat.
That would still leave a considerable percentage Of
people with the condition called otosclerosis, a form
of hardness of hearing Of unknown origin and of
progressive character. Many Of these people. how
ever. may be benefited by use Of proper hearing de-
vices.
From the psychological point OF view, 1t will never
be possible to wipe out hereditary deafness until
there are laws preventing people who are hereditary
deaf from marrying. Incidentally, this affliction al
ready Is 50 thoroughly ingrained in some communi-
ties that 1t might be necessary to prevent relatives
also from marrying.
There is some evidence to show that persons with
this hereditary type Of deafness cannot only pass
1t on to their own children, but also to their chill
dren's children. OF course. there is some tendency
for persons who are hard Of hearing to marry others
who are also hard Of hearing because the bond Of
their mutual Affections tends to bring them together.
Certainly 1t would be impossible to pass legisla-
ton which might prevent perfectly healthy people
from marrying because there was the possibility of
the birth Of a child with an ~affiction. Hence the
only hope in these circumstances Is suitable educa-
ton.

would like to see her get the job.
But 80 far there has been no intima-
ton that she stands in the line Of
succession Mrs. Roosevelt will
probably make the final decision.
Row Herbert Lehman's decis-
ion not to run for reelection as New
York governor next year places an
embarrassing problem on the White
House doorstep.
It means a terrific Tammany
fight to win the nomination for one
Of its ~favorites. State patronage Is
much more lucrative than the fed
eral Jobs Jim Farley ctn distribute.
Although Tammany Boss Dooling Is
friendly TO the Roosevelt administra-
ton his district leaders are definite
ly hostile.
Mr.. Roosevelt cannot afford a
knock -down-drag-out battle in the
Empire State next year. He may
need its AZ electoral votes. and a
Rubernatorial row OF mad and ma
Tor proportions would be ugly. Mr.
Farley would like to run himself. but
he must tackle the more important
Job Of rejecting Mr.. Roosevelt - un-
less the president releases him.
Bonus Whispers that Jack
Garner may be shelved as FDR's
running-mate next year echo down
congressional corridors. They gain
in volume because Of the report that
he suggested passage Of the bonus
over a presidential veto as a wise
move. Although admittedly a smart
SUCTION 1t placed the President in
an embarrassing position. The
, 1935-05-24

s -ltegy Of personal reading Of the
bonus veto resulted.
Sidetracking Mr.. Garner would
not be easy and 1t Is doubtful II the
idea appeals to the president.
Jack has been the most active and
helpful No. 2 man in years. His
political shrewdness has dissolved
many a jam on Capitol Hill. He
knows congressional psychology
from long service on the house side.
and he has prevented enthusiastic
New Dealers from leading the pres
i1ent astray many a time.
Eventually Mr.. Gamers plan will
undoubtedly prevail. Despite the
anti bonus demonstration by all
hands the veterans will probably get
their money - or its equivalent -
before this session ends.
