Rainfall Excess
Since January 1
Over Six Inches
The accumulated excess of rain-
fall since January 1 is 6.15 inches
according to the report of the
Brownsville weather bureau issued
December 1. Rainfall for the month
of November was 4.88 inches and
the normal for the month is 1.98.
The heaviest rainfall occurred on
the 9th when 3.11 inches was reg-
istered.
Temperature for the month wr.s
normal 67.2 degrees the average
for November. The maximum was
85 on the 1st and the minimum 48
on the 20th. The greatest daily
range was 23 degrees on the 28tn
when a “norther" dropped the tem-
perature from 77 to 54. The aver-
age maximum was 74.5 and the
average minimum 59 9.
November was a clondy month.
Precipitation was recorded on 7
days. Nine days were rlnudv. 14
partly cloudy and orly 7 clear.
The excess rainfall more than
compensates for the deficiency in
1927. Water is still standing in all
low spots throughout the lower
part of the Valley and farmers re-
port an abundance of season in the
grourd sufficient to carry the fall
crops to maturity without additional
irrigation.
Tense Drama In
Capitol Picture
‘Foreign Legion’
The most spectacular and power-
ful drama in many months is play-
ing at tho Capitol Theater. It is
“The Foreign Legion” ro-starring
Norman Kerry and Lewis Store sup-
ported by the beautiful Mary Nolan
and June Marlowe.
This is without a doubt one of the
finest pictures of the year and
should rate high when the selection
of the year’s greatest pictures is
made.
It is sheer drama of romance and
revolt relieved with comedy master-
fully placed at just the right spots.
It cannot hurt your enjoyment by
being told that the story revolves
around the powerful situation of a
son and his father opposed to each
other neither knowing who the oth-
er is.
The action takes place in the col-
orful locale of Algiers and is fea-
tured by sensational photographic
benuty. On the dramatic side high-
lights are the troops and the mutiny
in the desert led by Kerry unknow-
inly against his father the com-
manding officer. They also are pit-
ted for the smiles of Mary Nolan
blonde and dangerous. Another
powerful sequence is where the
father is presiding judge at his son’s
trial.
Stone and Kerry give powerful
characterizations. Mary Nolan is
equally strong in her role and pho-
tographs beautifully She brings a
new type to the screen—the blonde
whose kiss is disaster.
The comedy is largely supplied hv
Walter Terry who does well while
the romantic interest is furnished
with sympathy hy .Tune Marlowe.

symnsthetie role.

‘Man Who Laughs’
Victor Hugo Tale
To Play at Rivoli
A blending of the terrible with
the sublime of the monstrous with
the magnificent—that is ju a small
part of the story of the achievement
of the Universal picturization of
Victor Hugo’s classic “The Man Who
Laughs.” to be presented at the Riv-
oli. San Renito Tuesday and Wed-
nesday. fsrl I.aemmle has certainly
adopted the great French writer
for this is the third of Hugo’s mas-
terpieces that Universal has filmed.
And it climbs the pinnacle of stu-
pendous perfection.
It is the story of England in the
Eighteenth century when England
wa« overrun with Comrrachico* —
gvp«ies—who bought sold and dis-
figured children.
They rapture Gw'-rplaine. heir to
a peerage and so distort hi« face
that he appears ever laughing his
smile gruesome and leering. He
becomes the most famous of clowns
and falls in love with a blind "irl.
Pea. whom he has befriended since
childhood. Machinations of the
court bring him to his rightful heri-
tage. and Queen Arne commands him
to marry the Puchess Josiarna who
has usurped his heritage.
He defies the queen and goes
through terrible adventures to he
re-united with the hlind girl who
knows his features are distorted
but sees him with the eyes of love.

DISARMAMENT
OF NAVIES IS
Many Suggestions For
Accord Awaken New
Interest in U. S. and
Great Britain
By MELVIN E. COLEMAN
Cable Editor The Associated Preas
Naval disarmament supposedly a
slumbering subject awoke from what
was only a doze last week and prob-
I ably will get continuing attention
from Anglo-American international
thought in the near future. Back of
this was an idea which has been
gaining grounds in the big English-
speaking nations a fecPng that face-
to-face consultation will accomplish
results more surely and with tar
greater speed than traditional nego-
tiations through diplomatic channels.
Herbert Hoover voiced this in his
initial addresses to Central Ameri-
can peoples when he emphasized that
contact was one of the principal ob-
jects of his journey “abovital! by
! the men elected to responsibility in
their governments.”
Parley Is Urged
A few days before that Stanley
Baldwin prime minister of Great
Britain had said that much of the
misunderstanding regarding the
British and American viewpoints on
navies might have been avoided had
the statesmen of the two countries
been able to talk things over instead
of relying upon communications
across 3.000 miles of ocean.
Then Lord Lee of Fnreham. whose
activities have ranged from being
British military observer in the
Spanish-AmericRn war through an
experience as newspaper correspon-
dent in the Klondike rush and up to
first lord -of the admiralty took up
the refrain. He was discussing the
death of the Frarco-British naval
accord when he remarked that so far
as the United States and Great Brit-
ain were concerned an understand-
ing could be reached best if the
whole problem were submitted to the
joint judgment of men like Hoover
and Baldwin or Hughes and Balfour.
Britten’s Idea Liked
On the heels of this came a cable
message to Baldwin from Fred A.
Britten chairman of thp navnl af-
fairs committee of the house of rep-
resentatives. He suggested that a
select committee from the Briti. h
parliament meet the Britten com-
mittee in Canada next March. Th.s
idea gained instant sympathy in
many British quarters. Some of
those pointed out that Mr. Britten
hnd shattered precedents in inter-
national communications but at the
same time declared the proposal was
too valuable to be thwarted by tech-
nicality.
Mr. Britten answered by saying his
method was in accord with inter-par-
liamentary usage and he hinted that
he had addressed Mr. Baldwin as a
member of the house of commons
rather than as prime minister.
Something of what might happen
at such a confer* nee was shown by
Viscount Cecil of Chelwood. He said
in a public address that he favored
“mathematical equality between the
navies of Britain and the United
States both in tons nnd guns.”
Jail Houses 82
U. S. Prisoners
Eighty-two federal prisoners were
lodged in the Cameron county jail
Monday morning according to the
report of the jailor the largest
number in recent months. Of this
number 41* were brought to Browns-
ville Sunday night by deputy U. S.
marshals from other counties in the
Brownsville district.
The majority of prisoners are
charged with liquor law violations
or smuggling and hearing of the
cases is expected to occupy the at-
tention of federal court at least
two weeks.

Film ‘Napoleon’
Faithful to Life
Of French Leader
A revolutionary picture with a
; revolutionary cast!
Such is ‘'Napoleon" the historical
j filming of the French revolution.
I and of Bonaparte’s life beginning
. when he was a schoolboy at Brienne
an dending with the stirring and
dramatic scer.es of the French revo-
lution which is now- showing at the
Queen theater.
“Napoleon” was directed by Abel
Gance youngest and foremost of
Frenc directors. He is also the
author of the continuity. The pic-
ture was produced by the General
Society of Films and is distributed
by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Many of the settings were design-
ed by Edward Scholl an American
portrait rainter who has devoted
much study to the pictorial values
of the screen. In America his tal-
ents have been used by such di-
rectors as D. W. Griffith and the
late Thomas Ince. Scholl worked for
| months on the scenes depicting the
Siege of Toulon.
“Napoleon” follows history in a
faithful and detailed manner. Al-
though the cast >s an immense one.
I one of the largest ever assembled
extreme pains were takn to find nr-
! tists closly resemhling the famous
personages they were to represent.
Albrt Dieudorne. who plays the
title role is said to closely resem-
ble “Bonaparte” as he looked at the
I ^iege of Toulon. Alexandre Kou-
1 hitzky the Russian singer who plays
the role of “Danton” is said to he
with hi strong face ard solid build
the very incarnation of the fiery
“Danton." Other exceptional tast-
ing was in the characterizations of
“Robespierre.” plavcd by Edmond
\ an Daele and “Marat” played by
Antonin Artaud.
“Josephine.” the first em; ress of
the French is made fascinating and
compelling by Gina Manes. Director
Gance himself plays a part.

SEE BIG CROP
AT RIO HONDO
Expect Shipments to
Show Increase of
50 Per Cent
RIO HONDO Dec. 3.—Prediction
that late fall and spring vegetable
tonnage from the Rio Hondo saption
will be increased 50 to 5 per cent
this season ia made by growers and
shippers who state that individual
farmers are planting larger acre-
ages and that considerable new land
especially in the northern part of the
Browne tract is coming under de-
velopment.
The December potato movement
from this point will be heavy but
spring shipments will probably not
come up to the mark of last year.
Most of the Browne tract is con-
sidered ideal potato soil and many
of the growers who formerly pro-
duced only spring potato crops will
make a try for the winter markets.
One feature of the plantings is the
diversification of crops. The old
staples—tomatoes potatoes beans
and cabbagee—will form the major
part of the tonnage but the ship-
ments of egg plants beets carrots
spinach okra peas lettuce green
corn peppers and other crops will
be the heaviest on record. The-mix-
ed car movement is expected to ex-
ceed straight cars throughout the
season.
Conditions have never been better
for a record crop growers state. The
heavy rains of October and early No-
vember supplied ample moisture to
mature most of the late fall crops
and the soil is in excellent condition
for planting spring crops.
This scetion will be in on the early
cabbage deal in a week or ten days
several largo acreages being nearly
ready for shipment. Some green
com is now moving and shipments
of fall tomatoes will be the heaviest
on record.

TWO ARRESTS
MADE AT FAIR
Deputy Sheriff Com-
ments on Excellent
Order Kept
With over 100000 attending the
Valley fair during the five days it
was open only two arrests were
made both for minor offences was
the report of Deputy Sheriff T. J
Simms who was in constant attend-
ance while the fair was in progress.
