SENATE OKEHS
BIG FUND BILL
Defense Measure Now
Returns to House
WASHINGTON —UP'— A $1482.-
000000 military appropriations bill
last major dclense measure itend-
ing before Congress. was passed
Thursday by the Senate.
The bill containing funds to
outfit and maintain a peacetime
army of 1.889.441 men now goes
back to the House for action on
Senate Increases which totaled |12-
700.000.
Approving the measure the Sen-
ate allocated $1248000000 in cash
and $150.000 000 in contract author-
ity to the army. It gave the navy
$75.401 000 In direct appropriations
and $8500000 In contract author-
ity.
Approximately 85 per cent of the
army’s appropriation would go
toward feeding clothing equipping
paying and training 1.024.441 na-
tional guardsmen and conscripts to
be called into the service to supple-
ment the army’s 375.000 regulars.
Teher was little dtscusslno of the
big bill.
There was little discussion of the
able however for a preparedness
airport construction program. Dis-
agreement over this measure put a
new stumbling block in the way
of a congressional recess
The $200000.000 war department
civil functions bill when passed
by the house contained an $80-
000000 item for the start of work
on 4.000 new airports. The threat
of trouble over the clvils functions
bill arose after elimination of the
airport construction provisions al-
ready voted by the house
The appropriations committee
cut out this Item when It approv-
ed the measure Tuesday but Sen-
ator Adams (D-Coloi said he would
not be surprised If administration
sentiment developed for its return
to the bill The proposed exoendi-
ture—$30000000 in cash and $50.-
000 000 in contract authority—
would be made under direction of
the Civil Aeronautics authority.
Asserting that the CAA'S pro-
posal to build 4.000 airports was
'outrageous". Adam’s said he
would oppose any effort to over-
ride the committee's action. He
told reporters that the CAA
•"couldn't build more than 10 per
cent of them even If they got this
money."

IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT
Brownsville does not have a
coordinated set-up for the various
philanthropies that exist in this j
city.
Something on the order of the
Community Chest idea or a Com-
munity Chest itself.
Harlingen has a set-up of this
kind and it appears to be work-
ing smoothly and to the satisfac-
tion of those behind the project.
Because there is no plan of this
sort in Brownsville a group of
women who make up the Public
Health Nursing Association are
forced once a year to hold a tag
day.
There will be such a Tag Day
Saturday.
Some twenty or thirty ladies
will be on the streets. They will
ask a small contribution of you
for the benefit of their Milk
Fund.
• • •
THE TAG DAY IS NOT EX-
1 actly the only source of reve-
me for the Milk Fund.
There are several other sources
including the local percentage
from the sale of Christmas Seals
Several hundred children in the
schools and out. depend upon this
Milk Fund of the Public Health
Nursing Association for their daily
supply of milk.
These childien get this milk be-
cause they need it. They get it
because they are undernourished j
They are supplied it because
their parents for one reason or
another cannot afford to get it
for them.
The bodies of these children
cry for milk. The vitamins con- I
tained In the milk help to build
up their physiques.
• • •
VOUR OWN WAY OF LIFE
may be fairly easy You may
have your three meals a &ay. or
more.
You'd he surprised if you knew
how many children there are in
this toiro who fo to school with-
out the build up afforded by such
a simple meal as the average
breakfast is.
These women who have tags to
sell are going to ask you for a
contribution.
A dime will be a day’s supply
of milk for one child
A quarter will go a fairly long
wav* for several children for one
day.
If you are of the mind you
might kick in with a dollar. You
can be assured it will be used to a
good purpose.
• • •
'THESE WOMEN ARE WILLING
to five of their time in this
effort.
The obligation to help these
needy children is no more tha* of
the*e worthy women then it is
yours.
The idea Is to give as much as
you can Every little contribution
added to the other contributions
will be Just that much more.
The Public Health Nursing As-
sociation can use hundreds of
quarts a day. So far it has been
able to pav for only a fraction of
what it really needs for the chil-
dren.
• • •
IN PREVIOUS YEARS THE TAG
Dav results have not been what
they should be.
Some women have been so dis-
appointed in their collections on
Tag Day that they have been dis-
couraged.
A Tap Day in Brownsville should
yield no less than $300 for this
worthy work. *

•For four or five years I suffered
every summer from loss of appe-
tite. and havtng to take harsh pur-
gatives for sluggish bowels which
caused the little food I managed to
eat to turn sour and torture me
with indigestion and gassy bloat-
ing. As a result every afternoon
about five o'clock I would feel ter-
ribly weak and exhausted. This
Ferd P. V«Wk
summer I had a man workmg at my
home who had been taking Re ton-
ga. and on his recommendation I
began taking the medicine myself.
The relief It brought me was more
satisfactory than anything I ever
experienced. My appetite is splen-
did. and my elimination Is relieved.
Eating plenty. I have regained my
strength. I feel better than in years
and life la pleasant again I did
