HEALTHY STUDY OF OUR
NATION'S YESTERDAY'S
If the literary signposts are worth anything we
aeem to be moving in the direction of a sane and help-
ful reappraisal of our national past.
For a number of year* our novelists hardly seemed
to know that we had a past. When they did know it
they seemed to look on it as a dreary and confining
period from which by grace of the passage of time
we had luckily managed to make an escape. In the
1920 s especially the big idea of the novel was to pre-
sent a slice of life." and the life that was thus sliced
had to be contemporary.
• • •
But thn.Lis are different now. The two most fabu-
lous fiction success's of recent years have befn “An-
thony Adverse ' ami * Gone With the Wind." which go
back to themes our novelists had been ignoring almost
unanimous!'■ Sandwiched in between these fantastic
best-sellers have been less soectacular books dealing
with the pa..t—novels of the Civil War of the Revolu-
tion. t<l the clr iter ship era. of the winning of the
west of the reconstruction jienod and of heaven alone
knows what else.
Now the |»int is that very few of these books have
been written uncritically. Most of them have sought
to show either that some fabled and glamorous era
was renllv less romantic than distance makes it seem
or that in the process of coming of age we have some-
how put aside wav. of living that were of genuine
value They have called our attention to our past
both in order to point out its faults and to remind us
that change is not necessarily change for the better
• • •
It us a good thing that this has happened; for the
simple truth of the matter is that as a nation we have
grown up a little too rapidly. Social developments
that took centuries in other lands have occupied de-
cades in America. Our history has been telescoped.
Wc are like a man who stepped from childhood to
manhood in a month.
All of this has made for a good deal of confusion
We need a breathing sin'll so that we can examine !
this past of ours dispassionately and see Just how we
became what we are today. The adjustments that
should have been made along the wav were not made
because there was not time; we need to make some of
them now and we can t do it unless we study our his-
tory and sec just what happened and how it happened.
This doesn't mean that every novelist must Imme-
diate! v get out his reference books and fall to on a
historical romance We need light on the present as
well as on the past But it does piean that this fic-
tional preoccupation with bygone days is a healthy
thin?. The more we know about our own yesterdays
the better shall we be able to prepare for our tomor-
rows
KEEPING THE IRON HORSE
The steam locomotive is still the backbone of rail-
road transportation In this country and will continue
to be so for many years to come. So says W M. Win-
terrowd of Chicago vice president of the Franklin
Railway Supply Co. in an address before the ronven-
I-—-—
tion of the mechanical division of the Association of
American Railroads in Atlantic City.
• In its field” says Mr. Winterrowd ‘the steam
locomotive remains the simplest most reliable me-
chanically most flexible unit involving lower initial
and maintenance costs than any other form of rail-
road motive power that has been suggested.”
Most of us have only an academic interest in loco-
motives; yet there will be a few probably who will not
be glad to hear this bit of news. For a vast amount
of sentiment attaches to the Iron Horse. Its sturdy
puff-puffing. Its steaming hissing air of infinite power
—all of these would be hard to replace. Railroads
Just wouldn't be railroads without steam engines.
KEEPING THE PEACE
War spirit never has played favorites in mixing the
bitter and the sweet. A recent dispatch told that
Oreat Britain France. Germany and Italy had agreed
to resume the four-power naval patrol of Spanish
waters with provision for defense but not reprisals if
their war vessels were attacked.
On the same day came news from Innsbruck
Austria that that city has become a key point for ship-
ments of ammunition from Germany to Italy osten-
sibly for use in the insurgent campaign in Spam.
Then there was news that France and Germany
had initiated a plan for student exchange to promote
better feeling. But at the same time both sides of the
Rhineland were dotted with troop movements and
it is no wild guess that new time tables” of war were
in the making by which those same students might be
called to face each other in another death struggle
before long.

OVERWEIGHT OFTEN AIDS DEVELOPMENT
OF OTHER SERIOUS DISORDERS IN BODY
The person who 1* overweight may not at first
feel very much disturbed because of his condition.
Later however he begins to feel the burden of the
excess fat.
Simply because of his overweight exertion will
cause shortness of breath and he will tire easily.
His feet will feel the stram of carrying the excess
weight and sometimes he will have pains in his
knee joints and hip joints simph because of the
weight factor.
• • •
It is definitely established that a person with
heart disease does not do well If he gains toe much
weight and that a person with a disturbance of the
liver the kidneys or any of the other vital organs
of the body has another hazard In overweight.
Overweight is a distinct hazard to a person with
a tendency to diabetes and a menace to the life of
any one with hardening of the arteries or high
blood pressure.
Some Scotch investigators have emphasized
particularly the fact that long continued over-
weight may be associated with disturbances of
circulation of the blood disturbances of breathing
and disturbances of the ability of the person to
get about.
The association of overweight with gallstones
is well known and there has come to be a proverb
among the medical profession which asserts that
the typical case of gallstones Is a woman who is
fair fat and fortv.
An eminent American authority on diabetes
has pointed out that 70 to 85 per cent of people
w'lth this disease are known to have been over-
weight previous to the onset of the disease.
• • •
In the records of 30 American insurance com-
panies. covering 744 672 poliev holders it was found
that among those who were less than 10 pounds
overweight there was no increase in mortality
rate but that above that figure the mortality rate
rose steadily and alarmingly.
One American insurance company which an-
alyzed the cause of death of 26.000 policy holders
found that heart disease accounted for the deaths
of IS1* per cent of those who were overweight
compared with only 6 per cent of the lean
Other diseases of the circulation caused 7! per
cent of deaths in those who were overweight as
against 3 per cent in the lean.
Nearly twice as many people who aie o\er-
weight die of kidney disease as those who are un-
derweight.

yHE VALLEYS REPRESENTA-
tives in the legislature quickly
disposed of weaknesses in the two
bonding and licensing bills that
lor the vegetable industry and that
for the citrus fruit industry.
Two different bills were enacted
in the regular session of the legis-
lature They required two different
sets of licenses which of course
was unnecessary. They were enact-
ed at different times.
Now one license will be required
in addition to which the salary ol
the chief enforcement official or
the director ha* been moved down
from 8450 a month to 8300.
Two assistant directors will re-
ceive 8200 a month each.
Inspectors will receive 8150 a
month each There will also be
stenographers who will receive
salaries not to exceed those fixed
by the legislature for similar work

\~’TTH THE SIGNING OF THESE
u asureg by Governor Allred
the Valley farmer after many years
of encountering difficulties with
fly-by-mght operators and hot
check artists will presumably be rid
of this nuisance.
It is not the first time that ef-j
forts were made to enact such
measures.
The obstacle had been that other
sections of Texas where vegetables
are grown on a limited scale ob-
jected to the licensing and bonding
In many of those cases there was I
a great deal of trading. The busi- !
ness was not carried on as it is in
the Valley where tremendous vol- |
limes of perishables are grown
and shipped
Under the present measures those !
areas outside of the Valley are
not affected. They may go on as
they please. And so may we here
in the Valley.

QEORGE T. TROUT. PRESI-
dent of the Texas Hemp Cor-
poration Raymondvllle has made
no secret of the fibre plant his
concern produces.
It is hemp. If at a certain stage
in its growth it is capable of pro-;
ducing a narcotic marihuana that
is no eason to que tion Its legal-
ity.
His fibre is used for making a
sort of linen thread. It also is
made into burlap bagging carpets j
rugs cordage and other products.
His hemp plantation is duly in-
corporated under the laws of Texas
He has worked in cooperation with
Texa« A & M College.
Federal officials have mvestigat-
ed the plantation and given it
their approval.
There is no federal law agamst
marihuana There is a law in every
state in the union with one ex-
ception. against its use as a nar-
cotic.
Tins plantation is a necessary
industry . But. of course every pre-
caution should be thrown around
it to see that it does not get into
improper hands for improper il-
legal use.

TTflE SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS
takes note of what is happening
these days here in the Lower Rio
Grande Valiev.
In its first page "Think” column
it says in part:
'•^ort the past year or two the
Lower Rio Grande Valley has been
putting up tourist cottages both
modest and spacious homes hotel
and apartment houses as weli as
parking sheds canneries fruit juice
and other food processing plants at
a rapid rate.
"That region is experiencing a
marked building revival scarcely
matched elsewhere. Even so the
builders have been unable to pro-
vide sufficient new housing to meet
the demands of short-time visitors
winter residents and permanent
homeseekers
"It appears that much more
home construction will be required
to take up the slack of the late
inactive period and to provide for
needs which doubtless will keep on
expanding.
"Tourists — winter vacationists
particularly— have discovered' the
Lower Rio Grande Valley."

I_ _I
By RODNEY DI TCHER
The Brownsville Herald Washington
Correspondent
Wf ASHINGTON.—One result of
the Jefferson Island pow-wow be-
tween the president and democratic
members of congress la likely to be
an explosion of the Corcoran-Cohen
myth.
1.—Thai Roosevelt is a nice easy-
going. well-meaning gent but Is
completely bamboozled and pushed
around by Tom Corcoran and Ben
Cohen who tel! him what he ought
to do and what con urea* ought to
do. And that Tom and Ben are
radicals of a dangerous type.
2—That Corcoran and Cohen
write all the New Deal legislation j
sell it to Roosevelt and then go
high-pressuring around Capitol Hill
to get it passed.
All of which is just as silly as
it sounds. It ought to be fairly plain :
to everyone no matter how thorough 1
is one s dislike of the president and
his policies that he is nobody’s fool j
Corcoran and Cohen take their or- !
dprs from Roosevelt and carry them
out with large measures of ability J
and devotion.
Jackson Make* It Trio
Assistant Attorney General Robert
H. Jackson another relatively young
man. has joined up with the Cor-
coran-Cohen dupt. to make it prac-
tically a trio Jackson is acknow l-1
edged to be the administration's!
star trial lawyer and legal orator
Cohen is known as its most skillful'
legal draftsman Corcoran is a bril-
liant all-around handy man who
keeps the troops pepped up. writes
speeches serves as White House
liaison man with sympathetic mem-
bers of congress does an amazing
number of odd—and frequently im-
portant-jobs for Roosevelt and
probably does as valuable behind-
the-scenes job as anyone in co-
ordinating the efforts of the many
individualists and prlma donnas of j
varying belief. who populate the
upper ranks of the Newt Deal He is
an unofficial presidential secretary
and. like Cohen customarily begins
his working day at. 9 a. m and con-
cludes it around midnight or there-
after.
Roosevelt obviously has gone con-
sistently toward the "left in the last
year but nearly everyone on the in- i
side here attributes this mostly to:
his reactions to vitriolic attacks'
from the extreme right and his be- 1
lief that he knows what a large ma-
jority of the voters really want Cor- '
coran. Cohen and Jackson occupy
their present positions in his en-.
tourage because after a long shake- !
down process they turned out to be 1
the most effective and efficient per- !
sons whom Roosevelt had used in
their respective fields.
• • •
Many Helped Write It
Corcoran and Cohen have had a
very* large hand in certain New Deal
legislation notably the securities
stork market and holding company
legislation. They had nothing to J
do with the drafting of the supreme
court bill or the preparation of
Roosevelt's message to congress ac- I
companying it.
Critics of the new wage-hour bill
call it the Corcoran-Cohen bill be-
cause among those who helped pre-
pare it were Corcoran. Cohen. John
Winant Jackson. Hugo Black the
late Bill Connery. Frances Perkins
Sidney Hillman. John Lewis. BUI
