TWENTY-POUR HOURS RE-
Imam of 1935 and nothing further
to be concerned about before we all
get back to work except the Rose
Bowl game which is a New Year's
Day event at lx* Angeles.
The holiday season in the Valley
has been a satisfactory one from
every viewpoint.
Businessmen report trade condi-
tions eminently satisfactory for the
pre-holiday season. And tourists
seemingly thousands of them are all
over the Valley.
The fairs expositions a few muni-
cipal elections at least one of them
quite turbulent all out of the way.
The roads are clear for the Val-
leys most active season of the year—
that beginning the first of January
and continuing until the summer
months.

SPEAKING OF FAIRS AND t-A-
positions it is too bad that at least
cne of them is not held in the post-
holiday season say around the first
of February.
That is generally speaking the
height of the tourist season. More
toasts we presumed to be in the
Valley at that time than in any oth-
er period of the year.
And a fair would give many of
them an opportunity to see the Val-
ley “strut its stuff."
Originally the Valley Mid-Winter
Fair was a post-holiday event.
It was established in Brownsville
in 1909. and continued to operate
annually until 1914. It then lapsed
and five years later was resumed
at Harlingen.

D GREGG WOOD. OF THE
widely known Mission Woods has
been appointed supervisor in the
Fifteenth congressional district for

This survey to cover all the coun-

the middle of January and Mr.
Wood hopes to wind it up within
three months.

FROSTS. EVEN FREEZES. HAVE
constantly lurried winter vegetable
growers over in Florida.
So far this season the Valley has
been fortunate enough to escape
damaging weather.
The fall crop already has found
its way to the market at fairly satis-
factory prices.
Now the Valley is heading into its
greatest shipping season of the year.
The plants are growing in respect
to some crops. Other crops are being
planted or are scheduled for early-
planting.
So far shipment! of fruit and vege-
tables are approximately fifty per
cent ahead of last year.
If the ratio continues the Valley
fa headed for the most successful
season In at least five yeara
Shippers returning from tour* of
northern markets report them as
more receptive than in several years.
The prospects are for better prices
right through they report.
There is more money. More money-
means that folks will eat more. Win-
ter vegetables were a luxury over
most of the nation thirty years ago.
They are so no longer.

But It is here. The port st Isabel

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 30. (4*>—Discov-
ery of a human brain center the
first definitely located a bit of
gray matter that specializes on
only one kind of mental work was
described to the American As-
sociation for the Advancement of
Science Monday.
This center is a spot near the top
of the head which works the jaws.
It was found by an electric tele-
graph line of exceedingly fine
wires placed for the first time
directly in living tissues of gray
matter.
It is the first human contact
confirmation that recent medical
and other scientific brain studies
are on the right track in belief
that man's brain is organized like
a department store.
The work was done through a
brain window a place where part
of the skull of a normal healthy
man had been permanently remov-
ed. leaving access to the brain
through a thin covering of scalp.
Dr. Edmund Jacobson cf the
physiology department of the Uni
versity of Chicago developed the
electrical telegraph method of
tapping the mental activities di-
rectly under this window. He has
something like the famous work of
Dr. William Beaumont U. S. A.
who made a window into the stom-
ach of the Indian. Alexis St. Mar-
tin in 1882 and gave the world its
first accurate knowledge of diges-
tion.
The brain window is in the head
cf a man. a dairy farmer. The fine
wires cause no pain and in the
gray matter not even any feeling.
They are placed during experi-
ments which last about two hours
then removed.
The jaw- center which they have
disclosed lies on a line drawn from
the left temple straight up and
about two-thirds of the way from
the temple to the top of the head.
It thus lies on the surface of the
left half of the brain.
From this center when the Jaws
are at rest flows a steady pulsat-
ing electrical current the same

PARDON COURT
LOCKS DOORS
Jersey Board Expected To
Set Date to Hear
Bruno’s Plea
TRENTON. N. J.. Dec 30 W—
The Court of Pardons before which
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's peti-
tion for clemency is pending met
behind locked dcors Monday but was
expected to limit action in the
Hauptmann case to the fixing of a
date to consider his appeal.
Several members of the court said
they met specifically to consider
granting a limited parole to Charles
Weise. state prison inmate to per-
mit hiih to testify in a New York
murder case. The Hauptmann peti-
tion. they said would not be taken
up and counsel has not been noti-
fied.
It was regarded possible that the
court will grant a hearing to Haupt-
mann. whose execution for the slay-
ing of the Lindbergh baby has been
set for the week of January 13. late
this week or early next week.
Both Attorney General David T
Wilentz. chief prosecutor of Haupt-
mann at his Flemington trial near-
ly a year ago. and Egbert Rose-
crans cf defense counsel planned
to be at the state house.
Rosecrans indicated that future
moves should the clemency plea be
denied had not been determined.
He disclosed the defense chose to
present its argument and reputed
new evidence to the pardons court
before asking the state’s law tribun-
als for a new trial because he in-
dicated. the pardons court is not
bound by strict laws of evidence and
could take ”a broader view’’ of the
case.

McALLEN Dec. 30.—Fears ex-
pressed at Donna that poison caus-
ed the death there Christmas morn-
ing of Wayne Mcye 19-year-old high
school student were dispelled here

ham. after conducting an autopsy
examination declared that death was
the result of natural causes.

gation Monday afternoon.

ination Monday afternoon. He said

cide with the chemical tests.

HOUSTON. Dec. 30.—(/Pi—’Texas
Rangers in dinner jackets appar- •
ently had stopped gambling in
Houston night clubs Monday by
the polite if tedious expedient of
“just sitting around.”
They sat around three clubs
until dawn Sunday. They did the

Monday and they received in-

safety to sit again Monday night
and until further notice.
The Rangers heretofore noted
for their big white hats cowboy
boots and man-sized six-shooters
walked quietly into the three clubs
and sat down at tables they
evidently had reserved.
They did not display their guns.
They made no move to search
the clubs or otherwise interfere
with their activities. No gambling
devices were in sight.
A few wore boots under their
black trousers but they did not
roll their cigarettes. Instead they
smoked “store-bought'’ ones as
they whiled away their time con-
versing.
They did not drink nor dance.
But the regular patrons did both

men celebrated for quelling riots

sitting around.
