THE IBC WORK
We have had occasion to comment
from time to time on the probability
of the resumption of work by the In-
ternational Boundary commission on
the floodway system of the Valley.
Now there is added, under the West
bill, the construction of dams for the
conservation of flood waters and the
division of waters of the river as be-
tween the tWo ap^Tfttments.
The whole matter is m the ultimate
hands of Ccrdall Hull, t secretary of
state, but more’particularly with Jo-
sephus Daniels, U. S. ambassador to
Mexico, who is charged with the ex-
ecution of a treaty under which these
enterprises can be started. Mr. Dan-
iels stated, on the occasion of his vis-
it to McAllen, that a treaty undoubt-
edly would be consummated this fall.
We will hope he is right for until
this treaty is actually signed, it is dif-
ficult to see how any of this werk can
proceed. It is true that much of it is
on the American side of the river and
wholly within tmr territory. But the
whole work seems to be bound up in
one legislative action and probably
nothing will be done until the inter-
national aspect i$ cleared up.

tal stage would set its perjhanent val- people art curiously dumb about discovering

Sympathy Not Deserved
You are not looking for sympathy, I hope,
for you certainly don t deserve any, and I think
you know it.
I can not believe that your husband went
off without having first expressed his disappro-
val of yonr ill-advised friendship. He very iixe-
ly told you what to expect, and dike a vain,
foolish woman you went right on with your
silly flirtation. I am afraid you will have to
pay the fiddler—as many a woman has before
you.
Your foolishness has placed your husband m
| a very bad light. Men are always scornful of
women who run around with men much young-
er than they. I admit it isn't a logical posi-
tion for them to take, since youth always at-
tracts them, still, they do take it and so I sup-
pose we do have to Lake it and like it.

INSIDE OUT
By Dod O’Malley
NEW YORK, Aug. 1*7—fiv.r
pride is beginning ito swell uj» all
over town these flays, and the
concrete reasons ake a whole" list
of improvement projects to make
this the City Beautiful. For exam-
ple, rt here's the cjl.v Hall par£.
which is going to be rouged, pow-
dered and face-liftjed before long.
The Brook); n Bridge elevated
ramp, an u;.ly evet-sore for years,
is already i n the way to demoli-
tion, and th:- old Federal Building
at the south end will he razed
within a few months. Art officials
will re-lands«ppe the park in col-
onial design, with Jaw ns, trees and
such flowering embellishments. . .
Then there’s the new East River
Drive, which will start from the
Battery and spin along the water-
front right up to lL'f.th Street and
new Tri-Borough Bridge This, for
the most part, is now one of the
dreariest sections of Manhattan,
what with its garages, slaughter
houses and old tenements. Work on
the new highway has just begun
and the plans call for parks and
shaded walks which will make the
route another item for municipal
puffing. . . And, as a cultural note,
there’s the r ew outdoor library irf
Bryant Park, just in hack of the
42nd Street hranclji. Tables with
gay-colored umbrellas have been
stacked wit'-* hookg and maga-
zines for park bench-sitters wh >
may become bored watching the
pigeons or listening to the clatter
of 42nd Street traffic. . . If this
kind of thing keeps up, the day
will soon come wh^n New Yorkers
will actually say •[hello" to their
neighbors.

country’s “greatest asset,” its child-
ycur husband for being angry. No matter wne-
ther you have respected the letter of the law
or not. You can not blame your husband lor
i being angrj. No man should tolerate his wife’s
| laying hirself open to common gossip.
To Be Expected
You might have known that some girl in your
community, regarding you as an enemy, would
circulate some sort of story about you. You
were poaching on her territory, what do you
expect?
Give your indignant husband time to recov-
er his senses and to know whether it is his
pride and dignity that are outraged, or wheth-
er he is hurt more deeply.. If he really cares _
for you he probably believes your story and | ' ,,rk *ast wlnjter
will overlook your indiscretions. If he does
you must not gloat inwardly or assume that
you can repeat your offense. Nearly all fair-
mined folks are willing to forgive a mistake—
once. That may be done without undermining
one’s self-respect, but one can’t go on forgiv-
ing without serious consequences.
If you are really contrite over your actions,
and honestly hope for forgiveness, your best
plan is to let your actions from now on speak
for you.
Your husband should make allowances for
the source of thus gossip. He should have sense
enough to understand the malicious underlying
motive. So should your friends. The damage
to your character may not be as great as to
your vanity. You possibly needed to be jolted
into some sort of sensible conception of your
position.
Why should you be contemplating divorce?
r think I know—because you fear your hus-
band will, and want to beat him to it. Isn’t
that it?

President Roosevelt’s distant kinsman
and political foe, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., was executive chair-
man. Possibly the President had that
also in mind.
Aside from these subtleties of pol-
itics and personalities, however, there
are two things about the “new deal”
child welfare movement which bring
out appallingly the prolonged human
effects of the,depression. Mr. Roose-
velt put the total of “young people”
on family relief rolls at nearly 3,000*-
000 of whom “less than one-half have
reached or gone beyond the eighth
grade” ip school. And in asking the
conference to “start something,” he
-dded:

Bobby sat outside the window with his back
to the street, busily polishing a window-pane.
”1 didn't think I'd live to see the day when
you’d be doing that," an adolescent voice barked
up at him mockingly.
Fourteen-year-old Bobby turned his head
slightly in acknowledgment of the greeting, but
he did not smile nor did he utter a single word
For the moment all feeling in him was di-
rected toward hating this loathsome job or
window cleaning. He enjoys polishing metal,
but scrubbing or washing anything is disagree-
able to him. Call it personal idiosyncrasy. Yet
despite this Bobby cleans windows for his moth-
er once a month and generally does the job
well.
How does his mother get him to do it? It is
easy when you know how. Bobby's mother uses
psychology. Her approach is. “I know you find |
j washing windows disagreeable and for that
j reason I do not like to ask you. But little Irene
is too young: Pat is too wild for the job; he’d
bounce around on the windowsill and probably
fall out. Dad could do it, but I don’t like to
ask him because he works so hard. I could do
it, but there's dinner to fix and the baby to
bathe. You're the logical one for the job, Bob-
by. It’s too bad that you don’t like it. But do
the best you can, and if I get through in time
I will lend you a hand.”
Many parents, unfortunately, assume the at-
titude that the child not only must do some
disagreeable task which has been assigned to
him, but that he must learn to like doing it.
Such a stand is ridiculous. The parent, acting
upon his right to obtain obedience, fails to
consider the child’s viewpoint: How in dislik-
ing a task he will try with all his might to get
out of doing it if. he can.
Bobby’s mother has the right idea. She does
not command him; she appeals to his ability
to help when asking him to do something
which he does not like to do.

scowling.

“I’ll give it to Paylor,” Peggy
said firmly, “and -to no one else.’*
Towland hesitated. “All right,**
he said finally. ‘Come along —
both of you. Mrs. Dane, you stay
here.”
In the corridor—a narrow. dUtg)F I
corridor. badly lighted by one
weak bulb—the burly driver of the
car had been posted as a sentinel. .
At a nod from Towland, he led the
way upstairs to a door at the far
end of the third-floor hall.
Peggy and Terry were uahereB ,,
into a room very similar to the [
one they had left, with the excep-
tion that it contained a bed on .
which lay a man of about forty or
forty-five. His head was encased *
in bandagys, and he was very pale.
On his left cheek was a scar run-
ning down belom the mouth. In
spite of the disfigurement, how-
ever, it was a handsome face.
A look of recognition flashed inid
his' eyes when hp say Terry. It val
gone in a second. Then he turned
listlessly towards Towland.
‘Well.” he said in a weak voiced
“what now?” ,.
“This is the girl.” Towland an-
swered quickly. "Your father gave
her the key to the code. Tell him,
Peggy." j U
‘‘The key is Haifa.” Terry an-

piece of paper in his hand—the
fake message that Towland had
extracted from Terry’s suitcase.
“I’M need a pencil and anothe#

last.
Towland gave them to him!
Then, for almost a quarter of an
hour, the injured man wrote slow-
ly and weakly. 'Finally he sighed*
and handed Towland what he had
written. ■ ? *
Towland glanced at it and
sijiiled.
“(rood stuff!” he .said. “Com^

“Listen." said Terry. “Yot(
promised me I could have a talk
with Mr. Paylor—just to satisfy
my curiosity.”
"AM right.” Towland agreed*
"I'M leave you here. You can’t get

As soon as he was ‘gone, Paylof
spoke quickly.
“We haven’t any time to waste.

Brown? When you said Haifa, I
