He Flies Through the AM
Score* of Valley people emulated the daring young
man of song and story Monday afternoon as they
hurtled through the atr at a speed of 200 and more
mile* an hour and likad it. The occasion of the
display of the new Lockheed Electra plane soon to
be standard equipment on the Braniff Airways drew
them to the Brownsville airport.
Thanks to the enterprise of the air-lines which
; make Brownsville a terminal. Valley folk are becom-
- inf more and more air conscious and are really
passing the adolescent stage of air knowledge and
• experience.
Pan-American with its Douglas planes. Bowen with
• its Vultees. and now Braniff with its Lockheed-
Bectras have brought the very latest thing in flying
• right to our doors and all three lines are doing their
• beat to further acquaint Valley people with air travel
• methods and conveniences.
Time was when one plane a day connecting
- Brownsville with the cities to the north and that
l plane only a 2 passenger one at that waa sufficient.
• Mow we have two planes each way a day on the
Brownavllla to Ft. Worth run and a capacity load is
• not uncommon On the Pan-American run into
! Mexico the planes are always occupied many times
to capacity. In fact a certain distinguished gentle-
I man was the other day forced to postpone his de-
“ parture southward a couple of days on account of
1 lack of reservations.
By virtue of our air connections Brownsville is on
•very aviation map of the country and on It In good
large letters. Many people know of the Valley
I through air schedules who would perhaps have
• never heard of this section before Certainly many
people get at least a glimpse of the Lower Rio Grande
' Valley would otherwise never see this section.
Our airlines are consistently advert using Browns-
ville and the Valley as they call attention to their
own business.
Tha Valley will do well to know more about our
airlines the routes they cover the service they give.
Highway Beautification
Texas motorists who see the most profuse wild-
flowers along the highways within their memory will
realize the flowers are not there by accident.
Almost without expense several tons of flower
seeds here have been planted along the highways
during the past winter. The seeds were gathered or
fumtshd by civic groups women s clubs or Boy Scout
and Girl Scout organizations and were sowed on the
rights of way by the regular highway maintenance
crews. They were paying dividends in beauty and
attractiveness according to reports to the highway
department which say that in many sections the
roadways are banked with solid masses of flowers.
So much interest was shown and such co-opera-
tion given the highway officials that about nine tons
of flower seeds were furnished without cost to the
state and all planted without expense further than
the time of regular employes used in the work.
An ever greater program is planned for Centennial
year while at the same time seeds from thia year's
flowers are expected to replenish those areas already
bea utified.
The usual highway right of way us 100 feet wide
and the highway itself from 2f1 to 24 feet wide. It
la the usually-barren drainage slopes along the roads
which are cohered with Towers this year and trans-
formed from ugly ditches to bowers of resplendent
color.
Prohibition Repeal
There mill be a campaign this summer for and
against the adoption of the prohibition repeal
amendment. Leaders have not yet emerged. Oor.
Allred Is on record of favoring submlasitm of the
issue to voters and of adoption of the amendment
when submitted. He may take the stump against
adoption *
U. 8 Senator Morris 8heppard was expected lo
come back to his home state and oppose repeal.
Former Oovemor Pat M. Neff now president cf
Baylor made a historic campaign one year against
pledging Texas votes to Alfred 1. Smith or William
O. McAdoo—“one is too wet. the other too oily.’*—
and conceivably may leave the academic shades to
carry on m*hat he mill term a non-political campaign.
It is expected the repeallsts will have numerous
speakers. Senator Weaver Moor# of Houston by
virtue of being author of the amendment which goes
to the voters logically will head tha campaign
whether he takes the stump or not. In the house.
Representative Emmett Morse and others of the
Houston delegation were active in repeal leadership
Birth of Large Babies
Rare and Dangerous
By DR. MORRIS F1SHBE1N
Editor. Journal of the American Modleal Association
and of Byieia. the Health Magazine
Babies born in quantities and of extraordinary sizes
are always interesting Recently a British doctor col-
lected the records of some extraordinary babies who.
because of their sizes at birth are called prodigious
Infants.
In the first place it should be pointed out that
babies heavier than 10 pounds at birth are very un-
common. In most cases these babies have come
along beyond the date when they were expected. In
many cases because of the overweight and the post-
maturity. the baby dies at the time of birth
In the cases in which large babies were born suc-
cessfully. there is one of a child weighing 20 pounds
well developed and quite healthy; another of a child
weighing 14 pounds and another of a child weighing
16*4 pounds.
• • •
In the last mentioned case the baby weighed 40
pounds when it was 8 months old. in contrast to a
normal weight of 16 to 18 pounds.
In some Instances U has been found that babies
which gain weight very rapidly after btrth do so be-
cause the nulk of the mother contains an abnormally
large amount of fat. In the case of a baby who
weighed 34 pounds when 10 months old. instead of
the normal 19 pounds it was found that the mother's
nulk contained 6 to 7 per cent of fat instead of the
normal 35 per cent.
Another baby who weighed 28 pounds at 7 months
of age instead of the normal 16 pounds was found
to be receiving mother's milk which showed an 8 2
per cent content of milk sugar Instead of the nor-
mal 6 5 per cent.
• • •
In each of these instances when the baby was
weaned tt began to lose weight promptly and fat
babies which become quite slender after weaning
generally do so because of some trtck of nature Tn
a rare ca.>.e the overweight of the baby may be due
to some extraordinary condition tn its glands
In a few instances mothers with diabetes and ab-
normal sugar metabolism nurse babies who become
very fat.
Many cases are reported in which babies weighing
more than 14 pounds at birth die during the birth
process because of overweight. The modem scien-
tific doctor who follows the condition ot the mother
carefully la likely to prevent the carrying of a child
until It develops such extraordinary site
If the Republican party has the courage to turn
to the humanity of Lincoln and away from the
property-minded leadership which ha* dominated It
most of the time for 20 yes re. we can save America.
—William Allen White.
They ought not to try to call themselves the
Democratic party. The Roosevelt administration
should be properly named the St Vitus dance party.
—Huey Long.
It's cheaper to build boys' clubs than jails. If I
were to start again. I would never waste my time In

The World
At a Glance
BY LESLIE E1CHEL
(Central Press Staff Writer)
NEW YORK. April 9— There
are indications that the Roosevelt
■ administration will make another
change of direction in regard to
labor.
Those indications point to a
I course which will place it more
I nearly in line with the American
Federation of Labor.
The A. F. of L. has been shipping
heavy water.
Contrary to advice from a num-
ber of "admirals” in high business
command if the A. F of L. sinks
'that will not be an "enemy” sunk
but an ally.
The administration has been
learning that these last few weeks.
It doesn t take much of a scout-
ing plane aeourlng over the Unit-
ed States to see why the Huey
Longs and the Father Coughlins
and any others who may succeed
them have gathered such a "navy."
And every tat of that "fleet" has
been chiseled off the administra-
tion's own fleet.
1 he Situation
Dropping hyperbole and speaking
straight from the shoulder—the
Roosevelt administration has been
Joeing voters by its zig-zag ‘now-
we're-here now-we're-there" tac-
tics.
It would be splendid to record the
history ol the government ot a
great nation in the measure of civil
justice. But governments are poli-
tical. and their acts of justice are
farced by political exigencies—ex-
cept on rare occasions.
Now that discontent causes voters
to align themselves with forces that
may be damaging to election chan-
ces of the adminltsratlon we may
see once more an attempt to meet
that discontent—but with measures
that go only part way
The Roosevelt administration cer-
tainly will not accede to anything
which does not meet with the pres-
ident's view that the status quo
must be maintained.
• • t
Farm Danger
Drouth prices for farm products
may stave off a collapse of pegged
commodity prices—but not for long.
Disasters in tht end are defla-
tionary. The lack of purchasing
power causes prices collapses.
And the lack of world purchasing
Kwer due to tariff and exchange
rrlers and debt burdens is cer-
tain. to lower the prices of farm
products in spite of drouths plough-
under* and pegged prices.
Thus the Roosevelt administra-
tion faces the double task of pac-
ifying as well as worker And. in
spite of all efforts at friendliness
the administration never has had
financial America behind It. It.
therelore. must have the fanners
and the workers. And the small
merchant rapidly is being forced by
monopolies into either labor or
worker classification.
Here Ues the difficulty. The farm-
e. will demand inflation as a me mi*
of keeping commodity prices up.
The worker already complaining
regarding the cost of living will rise
up over that especially since his
costs already are much higher with-
out corresponding wage increase*.
And financial America will be dead
net against both: financial Amer-
ica will insist on a psjinc down a
balanced budget a reduction of all
costs including farm prices and
wages.
Distribution of earnings according
to productive power may help to
solve the problem. Thm would in-
crease purchasing ability.
That however still would not be
enough. In addition there would
have to be a world understanding
on economic stability and a world
teduction of armament and a world
refunding of debts at a minimum
<k interest*
To b* frank the world is in bank-
ruptcy. And it may pull out to solv-
ency only through the organization
of a co-operative sharing commit-
tee. which will not hesitate to make
write-offs and to parcel out earn-
ings share and share alike.
Such a move however takes re-
sponsibility and stamina There is
no pot of gold at the end of the
rainbow

WASHINGTON
By George Durno
Trap—Senatorial critic* of the Na-
tional Recovery Administration have
hit upon a new strategy to kill off
the sorely beset oodtng agency.
They propose simply an extension
of NRA for another year in it* pres-
ent form. This it la argued would
do away with moat of the impending
congressional fight over modification
of the administrative act and ex-
tension for two year*.
On ltd face the idea ia guileless
enough. NRA dies on June 16 and
President Roosevelt wants it con-
tinued. But there is plenty of TNT
concealed under the opposition sug-
gestion.
Many of our national legislators
are out to hamstring completely the
already crippled Blue Eagle. They
nave decided any changes in the
oiiginal act would detest their ef-
lorta.
• • •
Smash—Here* why. Court rulmga
again** constitutionality of NRA
mve become almost chronic of late.
Many more cases are pending. If
there should be any modification of
ihe original National Industrial Re-
covery Act all of the pending cases
would become •moot" — which
means the court* would throw them
out and wait until new' cases had
been submitted on the basis of the
new law.
ir NRA is extended another year
in its present form it* foe* believe
that within those 12 month* the
court* wifi have held the enure
structure to be unconstitutional.
• • •
Hi-Partisan—Certain senator* arc
convinced that the effort* of the
Rooaevelt administration to have a
new law written are designed pri-
marily to delay final court action
until the recovery agency haa be-
come so highly entangled in the na-
tion* industrial structure that no
court would dare invalidate it.
The justice department* with-
drawal from a aupreme court ahow-
dowm on the Belcher lumber case la
cited as proof of the administra-
tion strategy. If a new NRA law la
written that fundamental suit
would have to start from scratch
again.
Senators who Incline to this view
include Bennett Clark tD» of Mis-
souri; William R Borah <R* of
Idaho; William H King *Di of
Utah; Daniel O Hastings' ■ R> of
Delaware and others. Both side* of
the aisle are represented
• • •
Key—NRA foe* hold up the gold
clause decisions as examples of the
tvpe of edicts which might emanate
from the courts If NRA become* a
revitalized part of the New Deal
structure—1. •„ even If it la uncon-
stitutional under a strict reading
of the law nothing can be done
about it.
The fact however that the gov-
ernment. did abandon its contest of
the Belcher lumber case indicates
the New Dealers figured out the idea
of making all pending legislation
meet” first.
So far. the White House ha* been
able to drive badly wanted legisla-
tion through congreas deaptte all op-
poaition. The going has been getting
increasingly tough Pinal outcome of
the NRA scrap will be illuminating
a* to just who* in the saddle.
• • •
Partners—New pressure la about
to be applied to the drive to interest
the public in buying 'baby bond*’
—those experimental securities being
offered by the treasury at figurea
within the reach of any investor.
When these modern-day veraiona
of the War Saving* Stamp first were
offered treasury official* made it
clear thev did NOT have to us# the
proceed* for federal financing pur-
poses This wa* and is true. Uncle
Sam doesn't have to fool around sell-
ing $25 bonda to get hts rent money.
But the first month* sale of baby
bonds—$38000000 worth—waa dis-
appointing Between $50000000 and
$100000000 had been expected.
The real idea behind these bonds
1* to get a lot of hardworking peo-
ple to invest in government securi-
ties The more who do. the more
citisens there will be who are apt
to resent and resist extreme left-
wing monetary proposal* Or *o the
New Dealers figure and they have
arranged for a more high preaaure
selling campaign.

lace's resignation. Pst Harrison har-
bors no affection for Madame Per-

ocrat* have their knives out for

men of the 100 per cent American

functioning is getting louder and

even able to complete his caustic
remark about the president's recent
vacation before he was hissed down
—but observers counted it signifi-
cant that finally a republican had
gotten up the gumption to toss di-
rect brickbats
• • •
Complete—The list of cabinet offi-
cers against whom Capitol Hill holds
grudges failed to include Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau.
Thus far Henry hss been singular-
ly free from open attack.

rvETECTIVE BUCHANAN turned
" to Mrs Happ and Bald. “Co
Ahead and tell us your story."
Mrs. Happ stared steadily at Mil
ttcenL
Millicent thought “Well here It
some*. She saw me 'hrow the keys
>ut of my window She's going to
make a direct accusation Then
they’ll start making trouble *or
me. and Mr. Happ will probably
Mil about that handkerchief."
Millicent managed to keep her
•yea absolutely unwavering To ber
inrprise. she saw Mrs. Mapp’s eyes
grow laaa bard and lees certain.
“WeTe waiting." Detective
Buchanan reminded her.
“It happens." Mra Happ said
•lowly “that 1 am Robert's mother.
( feel that 1 am entitled to see that
my boy gets a square deal."
“No ona’s trying to give him any-
thing alas except a square deal."
Buchanan said.
*1 happen to know." she said
•lowly “that Robart was in this
house all night last night."
“How do yon know that?"
"I looked in wn him after he had
goes to bed He was sleeping. 1
fixed things so that be couldn't gel
sat without my knowledge."
“What do yon mean?" Jarvis
Happ asked.
“You know what I mean." she
•aid. “Robert has been a little wild.
I've suspected that he has been
carrying on witboat my knowl-
edge."
“Yon mean with . . ."
Jarvis Happ never finished bis
question. His wife Interrupted him
by saying. “It doesn’t make a par
ticla of difference with whom i
mean. Jarvis. The tact remains that
I arranged a little trap ao that
Robert couldn’t have left hie room
last night without my knowiodga
I stretched a very fine silk thread
across the threshold about eight
Inches from the floor. This morning
I made It a point to look at the
thread It was Intact. Robert wa*
•till sleeping. 1 broke the threat)
and removed It”
• • e
I TAPP said slowly. “Why did yon
pick on last night aa the night
to make this tent Cynthia?"
“Because." she said "last night
was tbs night when he wonld have
gona out had your suspicions been
true."
"This Isn't getting ns anywhere."
Buchanan said.
“It’s getting ns this fnr." Mra
Happ insisted vehemently. "It’s
establishing beyond any qusetlon
that Robert was in his room last
night"
"Could he hare got out through
a window?*’ Buchanan aaked.
"No. his room's <m a second
story."
Mi liken t did some rapid think
ing. Last night bad been Vera
Duchene s night out. Apparently
Jarvis Happ thought that Boh
| Caine bad been sneaking out and
I meeting Vera Duchena Hs thought
Bob had been with Vera the night
before. Now Mrs Happ's statement
Jtave the lie to that theory Was
Mrs. Happ’s statement oorrectf
Looking at her. Milllcent decided
that the woman would unhesltat
Ingly lie to save her son from any-
thing dangerous or even unpleas-
ant.
Detective Buchanan however
was convinced Slowly be nodded
and said. ’’Well that leu that
theory out It commences to look
as tbongb some other person might
have been driving Robert's aouv
mobile."
"What do you mean when you say
some other person?" Mra Happ
asked.
“I mean that perhaps Harry Feld
Ing wasn't driving that car after
all. Perhaps some other person was
driving It folding might have
been driving another ear "
Mrs. Happ said "Anything is
possible. I am not Interested In the
solution of the murder except that
naturally I want to see Justice done
Rut I am Interested In protecting
my son from unjust accusations''
Buchanan shrugged his shoulders
said. "Okay ma'am. 1 guess were
gradually working the thing out
now. HI go ask a few more ques-
tions. I want to And out some-
thing about the person who wrote
this note."
"What note?" Mrs. flapp asked.
Buchanan extended the typewrit-
ten note to Mrs. Happ. "That note."
• • •
CHE read It and. watching her
^ face. Mllllcent could detect no
faintest flicker of expression.
"llow frightfully mysterious!"
she exclaimed.
Buchanan nodded grimly.
"And did you drain the pond?"
"Yen"
| "What did you flndr
"The keys"
Mra Happ frowned thoughtfully
staring at the typewritten paper.
"And." Buchanan went on. "that
note was written on this typewriter
—this one right hern"
"How do you know that?" Mra
Happ asked.
“1 know It because I've examined
the typewriting"
He moved toward the door
paused for a minute then turned to
Mra Happ and said. "If you don't
mind. I’d Ilka to have you eome
with me for a moment. I've got
' one or two questions I'd like to
ask you In private."
Mra Happ turned and accom-
panied Buchanan to the doorway.
In the doorway Buchanan halted
aud said to Jarvis Happ. "1 think
It'a only fair to tell you that Ser-
geant Mahoney himself Is going to
lake charge of this ease. It'a de-
veloping some queer angles I’ve
reported to the sergeant over the
telephone and he’s going to take
charge personally"
"Very well." Jarvis Happ said.
Buchanan stood to one side Mra
Happ stepped Into the corridor
Buchanan walked out and pulled
the door shut behind him.
Jarvis Happ. staring at Mllllcent.
said "And don't ever kid yourself
that Sergeant Mahoney Is anyone's
look. He’s n amnnth worker and n
clever chap."
“I’m clad.” MtUtcant mid la »
Id* voice. “I hope they solve Mm
murder.“
“I'm coins to see that they 4a
solve the murder.” Jarvis Ray#
told her.
Slowly Happ opened a drawer ka
hie desk took oat Milllcent’s hand-
kerchief. “I want yoa to try aad
identify that handkerchief tor me*"
he said.
• e •
VflLLICENT. sitting quite atM.
aimoet held her breath.
”Jnst what.” she asked. In a abta.
frightened voire “do you want saa
to do?"
"I want yoa to eeitivafta Vara
Duchene. I want you to tooh
through her hand kerchieft. I want
you to tad if she hae any of similar

"You think this might ha Mftaa
Duebene’s bend kerchief?”
“I don’t know.” ha said "hat ras

Milllcent took the handkerchief. *T
