Auto Trailer Trend
There is an eternal open season for prophecy in
the United States. If the government builds a dam
earnest men rush to the magazines and write glowing
predictions of universal flood control power pro-
duction and soil conservation; if an inventor brings
out a new farm machine other men Immediately fore-
see a revolution in American agriculture and talk of
five ten. or fifteen million farmhands who will have
to queue up on some city breadline.
This being so it is not surprising that the auto-
mobile trailer should have set our prophets to work In
a fine frenzy of excitement.
Just because motorists have begun to discover
that It can be a lot of fun to tow a tourist cabin along
when they go vacationing we are being told that
within twenty years half the population will be living
permanently in trailers that American labor will ac-
quire a new fluidity of movement which will make
regional depressions unknown and that cities will go
broke for lack of enough residences to tax.
In other word* we have run up against some-
thing new and our prophets are having a field
day trying to tell us how it will turn out.
• • •
Certain it is that this trailer proposition does have
some marvelous potentialities. A house that he can
carry around with him as a snail carries the shell on
its back Is a new thing for man to acquire.
Take that fact add to it the fact that these mobile
houses are rapidly becoming cheaper more comfort-
able and more numerous and stir in the third fact
that the American with a trailer has a whole con-
tinent full of good roads beckoning to him and you
have an utterly unpredictable mixture.
What will come out of it all is something for the
phophets to play with; at the moment all that can
be said Is that the trailer is at least in the good old
American tradition. It is the sort of thing that Ameri-
cans would Invent. The only surprising thing is that
they didn’t invent It earlier.
• • •
The American has never been a man to stay put.
Prom the very earliest days he was always ready to
move on and try his luck beyond the next hill. He
refused to put down roots and anchor himself to the
soil.
If Marne didn't suit him he would try Ohio; if he
didn’t like Ohio he would go on to Missouri; from
Missouri he was perfectly willing to try the Dakotas
or Oregon or Texas or California or any other place
In the republic.
The trailer fits this tradition perfectly an Ideal
device for an eternally restless people. To a machine-
made age that was beginning to settle Into fixed
strata. It restores the fluidity of an earlier era
What It eventually may do to us may be something
for the seventh son of a seventh son to figure out; It
is. at any rate a 100 per cent American development.
A Tax Optimist
C. B Cramer general manager of Hidalgo County
Water Improvement District No. 2 is one official con-
nected with taxing bodies in the Valley who sees
reasons for optimism In the tax situation.

profit ha* not been reflected yet in tax payments
because of the need of the fanner for new equip-
ment and the payment of pressing bills including
repayment of federal loans.
But says Mr. Cramer with prospects as they are
for another good season of good prices for farm
commodities we may expect to see tax payments
materially increased within the coming twelve
months.

ers of.the Pharr San Juan and Alamo communities.

ing for he undoubtedly reflect* the sentiment of
his constituents.
Cull Price Minimum Set
McAllen unit of the South Texas Citrus Grow-
ers League Is to be complimented on having In-
augurated a movement to hold the price of cull
citrus fruits sold to canneries at a minimum of
ten dollars a ton.
With eighteen canneries now in operation in the
Valley and more In prospect the chances are that
a very considerable portion of our citrus crop will
be marketed In cans and It becomes increasingly
important to the entire citrus Industry that a reason-
able price be paid growers or the benefit of thes*
concerns to the growers will be largely dissipated.
Some profit may be realised from a price of ten
dollars and yet that minimum is low enough to allow
the canneries to profit.
Retain the Sewing Room
Brownsville's W. P. A. sewing room gives employ-
ment to seventy-eight local women who receive an
aggregate monthly payroll of $2300.
The only local contribution to this enterprise is
the furnishing of suitable quarters and of the neces-
sary utilities which has been done In the past through
contributions from the city and county running less
than $50 per month.
There should be no thought of either city or county
discontinuing this small monthly outlay.
The Family Doctor
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American Medical Assn
and Hygela the Health Magazine
INJI RIES DEMAND PROMPT DIAGNOSIS TO
DETERMINE IF BONES ARE BROKEN
When a person is injured in a fall the first step
is to find out how serious the injury is so that the
correct treatment may be applied-
It is necessary to know whether bones have been
broken. For this purpose an X-ray picture is the
most certain method of getting definite information
Any bruising or bleeding must be properly treated
and controlled. If the skin has been damaged it must
have cleanliness and protection.
A doctor diagnoses the presence of * broken bone
by the amount of hemorrhage that takes place the
swelling the pain the immovability of the fragments
or loose ends of the broken bone and many otheT
well known symptoms. Then he arranges to get the
parts back into proper relationship with each other
and to keep them in the correct position until heal-
ing occurs
• • •
Before the doctor comes it is wise to place the in-
jured part completely at rest and to hold It still with
a suitable splint. There are of course ready-made
and adjustable splints with which every doctor Is
familiar.
A home-made splint is sometimes made by folding
a large magazine or newspaper many times about the
injured limb and then holding it in place with hand-
kerchiefs tied at various levels.
If however the person who is applying the first
aid measure is not absolutely certain of what to do.
he or she should make the patient rest and keep him
absolutely quiet until the doctor come*.
Whenever a person is struck with sufficient force
the tissues of his body are bruised. The first symptom
of a bruise is pain. This is usually followed by redness
and swelling. Later the blood that has escaped from
the blood vessels into the skin becomes coagulated
and the tissues turn black and blu«^ Gradually the
blood clot Is absorbed. During the process of absorp-
tion the solid blood material changes into fluid. At
the same time the bruised area changes from brown
to yellow and gradually disappears.
• • •
For most ordinary bruises little immediate treat-
ment is necessary. 8mall towels folded to make suit-
able thick pads may be soaked In ice water and
applied directly over the bruises. This will lessen the
pain. An icebag filled with Ice cubes or fairly large
pieces of ice. will supply cold to the bruised areas
for a long time without much attention by those
who are doing the nursing.

Behind the
Scenes in
Washington
By RODNEY DITCHER
The Brownsville Herald Washington
Corresponden*
WASHINGTON. Sept. 18— The
republicans have made up & list of
wealthy men who have contributed
to the Democratic National Com-
mittee under the New Deal with
the Idea of showing that Roosevelt
has HIS “economic royalists"; that
it just isn't true what they say
about all the poor men being on
President Roosevelt’s aids and all
the wealthy men on Governor Lon-
don's side.
The sad truth is that If it Irks
you too much to be on a side where
there are people with mcney you
probably will have to go vote for
Comrade Browder.
Even a couple of partners in the
House of Morgan contributed to
help pay off the New Deal deficit
namely Russell c. Lefflngweli and
S. Parker Gilbert.
Sometimes It seems as If the
Morgan firm always insisted on
keeping a couple ol partners in
the Democratic stable Just in case
of contingencies such as the elec-
tion of a Democratic president al-
though It must be said that if
Messrs. Lefflngweli and Gilbert
have had any pronounced Influence
on the New Deal policies it has all
been very sub rosa.
Walter F Frew chairman of the
Corn Exchange and Trust Company
of New York and Walter Dunning-
ton. trustee of the central Han-
over Bank with his office at No. 1
Wall Street are also mentioned by
republicans as among those who
have contributed 8500 or more to
the Democratic committee
So did that young multimillion- '
3 he. Vincent As tor who used to en-
tertain Mr. Roosevelt on his yacht
before it got to be so near election
time. Also William K. Vanderbilt
of New York and Arthur Curtis
James another railroad man.
It would be a wonder if some of
the shipping magnates consider-
ing all the business they have to 1
do with the government hadn't
kicked in something. Sure enough
you find on the list President P. 1
A. 8 Franklin of the International 1
Mercantile Marine Cletus Keating 1
of North Atlantic Steamship Cor- i
poratlon and Adolph Gernl of the
Grace Lines. But *111 they con-
tribute In 1936?
• • •
“Royalist" Who's Who
Walter P. Chrysler the automo-
bile man. and Percy Straus of
Macy St Co.. Cyrus and Harold Mr-
Cormlck of Chicago are also there.
And finally the Republicans cite j
Mr. A P. Glannlni of San Francis-
co. whose Trans-America Corpora-
tion controls hundreds of banks
many farm and real estate opera-
tions and fire and life Insurance j
companies. Glannlni is supposed
to have been interested in AAA re-
lations with California growers and
is said to be very clone to Qov
Marriner Eccles of the Federal
Board.
Presumably the president would r
not call these men “economic roy-
allsts" — especially If they con-
tribute again this year although
he has refused to say Just who he
meant. If you ask Informally at
Democratic national headquarters
who the “royalists" are they'll
hand you a copy of a pamphlet
called "Who’s Who In the American
Liberty League."
Therein it is pointed out that the
national committee of the league
Is composed almost exclusively of
the directors of huge corporate in-
terests and their attorneys
The league" it is said' “is dom-
inated by a small coterie of men
distinguished only by their wealth
and a consuming hatred for the
program of social Justice sponsored
by the Roosevelt administration....
The financial domination of this
group covers the country like a
spider's web."
• • •
Describe du Pont Activities
So the Democrats then specifi-
cally mention Grayson M.-P. Mur-
phy director of copper steel bank-
ing. rubber aviation insurance and
cigar store corporations; Sowell L
Avery of Montgomery Ward. Chi-
cago Dally News. U. S. Steel. Chi-
cago Great Western railroad and
Public Service of New Jersey; Pres-
ident Colby M Chester of General
Foods; John W. Davis Morgan law-
yer; Irenee du Pont of du Pont de
Nemours and General Motors- J.
Howard Pew of Sun Oil. Sun Ship-
building and Philadelphia National
Bank a big figure in Pennsylvania

The list also includes Chairman

DICKIE his adopted T-year-ald
aan. They drive ap lata the moun-
tains and have a pleale luncheon.
Dickie aad Kay at earn became
close friends.
Kay has been told that Ted
Graham worships the memory of
bis wife who died yearn before.
He fells her frankly that ha will
never marry again.
“Romance Is behlad me* ha
says. "I’ve my Job now.*
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
_ CHAPTER IX
rpED Graham was in port for al-
most a week getting the Mari-
ner ready for its next flight and
Kay saw him every day between
her own trips on the Overland
route.
The young pilots at Ship Har-
bor were all interested in the new
girl. Though she was usually
seen with Ted they liked to dance
and flirt with her. Monte Blaine
was particularly attentive.
But the flying colony knew
Monte was the “hero” type of an
earlier era—dashing adventurous
holder of trans-continental speed
records. Once Monte took a pri-
vate plane and flew to Reno in
less than two hours to have a date
with Kay. She felt enormously
flattered but when Ted Graham
heard about it he called Monte
on the carpet and gave him a lec-
ture.
The day after Monte’s trip to
Reno. Kay had a wire from Cen-
tral headquarters transferring her
to the Oakland airport. Doris Lee
took Kay’s place in Reno and de-
cided it would be convenient to
stay on in the apartment Kay had
rented.
Kay hurried out to Ship Harbor
that afternoon to see the Flying
Mariner take off for Hawaii. Her
taxi was caught in a jam and she
didn’t arrive in time to see Ted.
She ran down to the quay just
as the giant flying boat was taxi-
ing out into open water.
• • • 0
'T'HE sun had set and Kay saw
the ship’s lights blinking red
and green. Then she could see
no more. She wiped the tears
from her eyes and turned to And
Monte Blaine standing beside her
tall and broad and clean watch-
ing the ship disappear.
Monte followed her down the
quay. “Come on sweetheart cheer
up!" he said. “Give us a smile!”
Kay smiled indulgently. Monte
in spite of his broad shoulders
and handsome dark head seemed
so young.
a a a
rpWO day* later Kay found an
apartment near the beach at
Ship Harbor where from her win-
dow she could see the trans-Pa-
ciflc liners moored at the quay.
How she envied the men of the
crew's on those flights! There
seemed to be magic in the nirne*
of the places they visited—Hono-
lulu French Frigate Shoals Mid-
way Guam Manila.
Ted Graham was away from the
home port for the next two weeks.
It was the time of the Easter holi-
days so Dickie his adopted son
was home from military school.
Dickie liked the grime and dirt of
the hangars and he liked tools.
Since Jerry Searles (with whom
Ted lived) was at the airport all
day Dickie spent most of his time
there too.
Kay met him the first day of his
vacation and he came to her with
shrill cries of joy putting grimy
little fists around her waist. She
didn’t mind. She was on her way
home with the evening meal liter-
ally in her arms.
Dickie w'as hungry. He said
“Pal you wouldn’t invite a guy in
to eat would you? Jerry’s food is
all right but it all comes out of
tin cans.”
Kay laughed. “I’m afraid mine
all comes from the delicatessen
store Dickie but you’re perfectly
welcome!”
“I think Ted likes you” Dickie
confided over the ice cream.
“Once I slipped into his room and
he was drawing little circles and
writing ‘Kay’ in them. That’s
your name isn’t it?”
The doorbell rang and Kay
went to answer. It was as she
had expected Monte Blaine. He
had brought one of the other ap-
prentice pilots with him. Ralph
Bangs was a bright-eyed young-
ster with curly hair and a slight
scar on the left cheek.
Monte demanded “Why didn’t
you invite us to the housewarm-
ing? Which reminds me the house
hasn’t been wanned and you’ve
been living in the colony for a
week. Shame shame!”
“I’m not sleepy” Dickie put In
quickly. “When Ted is iway I
don’t go to bed until 4 o'clock in
the morning. Sometimes 1 don’t
go to bed at all!”
“Dickie!” Kay said gathering
him into her arms. “You’re so
a . .■
sleepy right now you don’t know
what you’re saying."
• • •
CHE walked down the beach with
& the child- A heavy fog was
rolling in from the bay and after
she had turned Dickie over to
Jerry Searles and was on her way
back to the apartment she could
scarcely see more than a few feet
ahead.
Monte and Ralph were talking
and smoking when she returned.
“It’s a bad night out for flyers"
Kay announced.
Each of the men shivered feel-
ing the fog in their bones. “We
called up some friends" Monte
told her. "Thought tonight was <
as good as any for the house-
warming."
The bell rang again and Kay
thought it must be Monte's friends.
Instead it was Doris Lee on the
threshold.
“The night plane was ground-
ed" Doris said. “We couldn’t
leave the airport in this fog so
here I am!"
Ralph Bangs was leaning over
the radio as Doris entered the liv-
ing room. As soon as she saw
him she dropped her bag with a
clatter. “So it’s you!" she ex-
claimed.
The young pilot blushed. “Why
Doris—”
Kay said in surprise “Then you
know each other?”
Doris’ chin lifted firmly. “And
how! The last time I saw that
guy he was flying out of Central
airport. For a while we were
good friends—until 1 began to
hear tales about this handsome
Romeo and did a little investigat-
ing. Do you know what I found
out? He has a girl in every port
from Cheyenne to New York!
After that the air around Central
wasn’t big enough for the pair of
us. One had to leave and the best
man won—so he got out."
This amiable quarrel lasted un-
til the others began to arrive.
They were all members of the fly-
ing colony. Kay was glad they
accepted her as one of them; it
made her feel that she “belonged.”
With this feeling she went to the
windows and looked out at the
thick black fog.
Monte came up beside her.
“Don’t look at the fog!" he said.
“Br-r-r! It used to be a night-
mare but it's not any more on the
trans-Paciflc flight thanks to Ted.
Last week he flew from Honolulu
to the mainland and didn't see the
ocean after he left Diamond Head.
That’s progress in the air!”
(To Be Continaed)
ocratic list of “eeconomic royalists*’
as exists. Also presented Is a tale
of interlocking directorates Involv-
ing du Pont and Morgan officials
and the implication is quite plain
that the “royalest'’ of all are sup-
posed to be the du ponts whose
contributions to various anti-New
Deal groups operating under fancy
names are given.
Most of the gentlemen named by
the Deemocrats doubtless will con-
tribute to the Republican campaign
chest. Democrats wish they could
be sure their own "economic royal-
ists.’’ as named by the Republicans
were equally sure to repeat.
