What the Valley Makes

The Valley is pre-eminently an agricultural and
horticultural region. Very naturally, due to our
climatic conditions which permit the growing of
crops during the fall and winter months when the
greater part Of the United States is shivering under
frigid blasts, much stress is placed on those crops and
their semi-tropical nature.
Few people would think Of the Valley as an indus
trial section, and very probably this region viii never
become one Of those sections in which industry
reigns supreme, where workers are packed into tene-
ments by the hundreds, and where a breath Of fresh
afr is a novelty indeed.
But the Valley does have its industries, an ever in
ereastng amount Of them, industries which in variety
and number are a source Of surprise to those who do
not keep In intimate touch with the progress Of this
section.
TO give US all a further insight into what Is going
on In the Valley is, we believe. the animating motive
behind the Home Products Exposition staged annual
" by the Edinburg Community Club. and If such Is
the aim Of the club. its goal would seem to be attained.
Some ~ manufacturers of Valley products have
their wares on display in the exposition now under
way, and no one can view those exhibits without OPEN
ing their eyes in amazement over the manufactures
OF the Valley.
What the Valley makes. makes the Valley, as pay
rolls are increased, as money Is put in circulation in
the Valley rather than in outside points, as Valley
made products go out into the world Of commerce and
bring back money for the Valley.
The Valley viii never claim TO be a primary in
dustrial region, but the Valley can claim right now
to be a potential industrial section Of no mean pos
sibiities.

Life in Arctic Proves
Value of Proteins
BY DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American Medical Association
and Of HygeIa, the Health Magazine

After spending 1li7 years in the Arctic and lv-
ing about nine years Of that time on an exclusive diet
Of meat, the explorer Stefansson was given a COM
plete physical examination. in 1926. He found that
an exclusive meat diet had worked as we'll when he
was inactive as when he was active, and in hot wealth.
or as in cold.
After an exclusive meat diet lasting u months,
two Arctic explorers living in New York we're given
similar study. In their cases also no serious changes
were found. The blood pressure was not disturbed; in
fact. in one man 1t was lowered. The men had no
lessening OF physical or mental vigor.
Recently StefansSon was examined again, after a
lapse of nine years, to find out whether there had
been changes in his body as a result Of the meat diet
on which he had lived so long. He is now IS years
old and has aged very little.
He has been in excellent general health since he
lived on an exclusive meat diet. He has worked rath-
er strenuously. and has led a sedentary life. yet he
does not suffer from any disturbance OF his blood
dentistry or of his digestion. He reports that he
has no headaches. but occasionally some colds.
His blood pressure, although he is IS years old. is
100 systolic and 80 ~diastolic. which is considered the
normal blood pressure for a person aged anywhere
from Fl to As.
A meat diet is essentially a high protein diet.
There has been a tendency for people to be afraid Of
proteins 49, a tendency utterly without sense, since
proteins are the building materials Of tissues. A large
supply Of our proteins is found In animal products and
in dairy products.
The proteins from all meats, including that from
fish and chickens. ducks and other fowl, is about Of
the same type. Chemists do not find any special diff
ferences between the red meat which comes from the
COWS and that which comes from the lamb.
Notwithstanding these facts. people who are dis
- IT,
They will stop beef and continue to take lamb, fish,
and chicken.
The one slight difference that exists between red
meat and white meat is that red meat contains GER
tain extractives not present in white meat. The pc
culiar ideas people have about red meat and white
meat seem to Be purely notions. and nowhere IN the
history OF dietetics Is there to be found any scientific
basis for these notions.
incidentally, animal organs which are largely pro
TEN supply In addition to the protein many Of the
important factors necessary for the blood and the
proper funetioning Of the body.

brought against the youth. and Just recently q final
disposition OF his case was made.
Under n court order, he must pay SO q week to-
ward the support OF the five orphaned children for
five years He must not drive an automobile again,
and under no circumstances may he purchase liquor.
The court put him on probation to make sure that
these orders would be carried out.
Here Is q disposition Of a traffic case which seems
TO be highly sensible. The young motorist Is getting
enough in the way Of punishment, surely, to impress
on motorists generally the need for caution.
Being kept away from liquor and autos. he won't
repeat his offense. Meanwhile. he Is compelled to
render substantial financial aid TO the dependents
Of his victims. The whole might well set a precedent
for similar cases elsewhere.

Faces Unrest at Home
The Italian dictator's attitude to-
ward England has become less bel
ligerent lately. According to certain
grapevine reports out OF Italy. one
reason for that probably is a degree
OF unrest among the Italian people,
news Of which has been carefully
suppressed.
Although a large part OF Italy
Is fanatically excited and in favor
Of the war, there have been dem
o~nStrationS by farmers and work
ers, usually against high taxes and
against low living standards, at
tributed TO heavy war expenses.
At Parma, Spezia, and other rail-
road stations, women are reported
to have thrown themselves in front
Of trains and delayed departure OF
troops.
These reports, If true, are signifi-
cant. Every nation in Europe, as
1t prepares for war, is weighing the
possibilities of domestic revolt -
both in enemy nations and at home.

The anti-Semitism Of the Hitler government is an
ugly thing, even when viewed in its most favorable
light; but it has never appeared meaner than it does
in the recent order sent out BY Paul Joseph Goebbels
minister Of public enlightenment, that the names OF
all Jews killed In the World War must be removed
from the rolls Of honor OF German war dead.
For a combination Of ~pettiness and utter lack of
logic, this would be hard to beat. How can q man
more truly show his love for his country than by
dying for 1t? Does not such an act automatically en-
shrine him among his ~country's heroes?
Logically, It is hard to see how the German govern
ment can strike these Jewish names from its honor
rons-unless. at the same time. It contrives TO find
some way Of giving their lost lives back to them.

Another Rate Concession

Slowly but surely the freight rates obtaining in and
for the Valley are being worked out to the ~satisfac-
ton Of all concerned. and e~ffecting reductions all
along the line and in various ways.
A new mixed carlot rate which goes into effect
this month is the latest to be announced by the
Southern Pacific and the Missouri Pacific, a ruling
which viii place the Valley on q parity with Florida
by allowing each vegetable in a mixed car the mini
mum rate applicable to that commodity. Previously
mixed carlot shipments had taken the minimum OF
the highest rating commodity in the car.
Other general reductions went into effect on Sep
TENDER first. and still other reductions, asked by the
roads, are pending before the Interstate Commerce
commission, these last applying to root crops and
broccoli.
1t has taken time, but the freight rates on Valley
vegetables are being worked out. thanks to a new
spirit Of cooperation evidenced between the roads on
the one hand, and shippers and growers on the other.

wheel, a cigaret dropping from his
lips, his air one Of c~arefree negli-

his hands held the wheel firmly as
the ear hummed along nc an even

Beside him sat n broad-shoul-

OF the front seat. so that he could
talk to the two men IN the rear.
One of them vas small and dapper,
a felt hat pulled low ove his eyes:
as he raised his left hand TO take
a cigaret from his mouth II could

man in front, I'm not going in

There was a brief silence.
