. ' The Willacy District
Settlement of the controversy which has raged the
pest six weeks between the associated water districts
of Cemtron and Hidalgo counties and the Willacy
county district without recourse to court action nos
appears assured. The districts have filed their pro-
tests to granting of a permit for diversion of water
from the Bio Grande; the Willacy district has replied
with the assurance that none but flood waters will be
diverted and. as the matter now rests it appears that
the districts have assured protection of water rights
bo far as possible under existing laws.
Further assurance is expected to be obtained from
the final plans of the Willacy district which must be
submitted to the hoard of water engineers for ap-
proval. Arrangement of the intake will determine
whether the district can divert any of the normal flow
and in the event it ie so designed that only flood
waters will be diverted it is probable that no serious
objection will be raised. Directors of the Willacy dis-
trict have given assurance that the intake would he
designed with a view of diverting flood waters only
in such quantities as would be required to maintain
sufficient in storsge reservoirs to assure supplies for
the 129500 acres the system Is designed to serve.
The Willacy district has presented a complex prob-
lem. There is no objection on the pert of the asso-
ciated districts to diversion of flood waters. Those
residents of the Valley who would not welcome de-
velopment of the rich acres of Willacy end eastern
Hidlago counties under irrigation are net numerou*.
They realise that those fertile lend* ere destined to
prove an important factor in future wealth production
of the lower border country.
There ie only one factor involved in the controversy
—protection of other Valley lands to Rio Grande wa-
ters. If the engineering plans of the Willacy district
provide for diversion of flood waters only the major
cause of that controversy will automatically be elimi-
nated when the plans are approved. The Valley dis-
tricts in filing their objections to granting a permit
have established a basis upon which to predicate fu-
ture litigation in the event there should be an infringe-
ment of water right* which seem* to he a* far as th-
districts can go without becoming involved in a mass
of litigation with the probability that many years
would elapse before a definite determination could be
reached.
Having safeguarded their individual end collective
Interests so far as possible and having received the
assurance of the Willacy district that it will carry out
in good faith its resolution to divert none but waste
waters the Valley districts should extend their co-op-
eration in solving the problems of the new district.
The Valley is bound by mutual interests. Develop-
ment of Willacy county under irrigation will add im-
mensely to wealth production and it is to the inter-
est of the entire Vail' if the diversion of that .wrier
is permitted to co-operate in making it bring to th
section as large returns as possible.
The New and the Old
Back in the day* following the Civil war when out-
laws infested central and western Texas clashes be-
tween the bandit hand* were not infrequent. Hut
even in the hey-day of Texas gunmen and handits. his-
tory does not record such a massacre as was perpe-
trated Thursday by the modernised handits of Chicago.
In the days “when the border was young." «nd the
six-gun was the supreme law. many sanguina-v ha*-
tlee were fought; hut the most depraved hand’ts of
those days did not cany their feuds so far as to in-
dulge In cold-blooded massacres.
The law-abiding citiiens of Chicago are net ro.i-n-
Ing over the deaths of seven gangster* who doubtless
were as depraved as their slayers; hut the wholevule
massacre has brought home to them the fact that
the city has developed a class of criminals which for
heartlessness and savagery rival the Apaches of the
old frontier. So long as these criminals direct their
activities toward extermination of their own kind. no
great harm Is done but the massacre is an index
to the wantonnes. and savagery of the criminal de-
veloped under modern conditions in the great centers
of population.
Chicago has become accustomed to gang wars to
murders of individuals hold-ups and hijacker battles
but the complaisance of Chicago cituen*. who have
become callous to ordinary crime* was shattered >y
tho wholesale massacre the direct result it is be-
lieved. of a bootleggere* war. It should serve to
...bn Chle.fo «o • rnlintl.. «
.bo-aid create . demnd lh.t tbe 1.. be .nforeed and
. the gangsters eliminated.
One of the moat amaainf facta and which is in
Itself an indictment of Chicago law enforcement was
the ready identification of the slain men by the po-
lice One was pronounced “a notorious gang loader
and another deacribed as his lieutenant. A third was
identified as “a notorious bootlegger and three wer-
classified as “hoodlums." Apparently these men had
the run of the city. They were known gangsters men
who preyed upon society but the Chicago police ap-
parently. made no effort to round them up or to sup-
press their activities.

AN ECHO PROM THE PAST
(New York Herald-Tribune).
Bandita. once practically indigenous to the Wild
Weat have become familiar—much too farailiar-in
the Ea»t. Bank robberies of the style conducted by
the Jamee hoy* are quite common in thi* metropolis
•• well a* all other important towns east of the Mis-
sissippi river. But until Wednesday morning when
g lonebandit held up the occupant* of a day coach on a
westbound train of the New York Central train rob-
beries have been rare and there has been a g-ncral
belief that this highly haxardous profession was not
t followed hereabout.
As a matter of fact the exploit of a single ven-
turesome train robber s«s not at all like the train
hold-«P* of the old weatern day* when locomotives
ware hatted and detached and masked handits went
1-op. one end ed the Uein to the other cllocting
'* " *
money and jewelry. The man who enacted the role of
bandit in this cate was apparently intoxicated and ob-
viously an amateur. He had embarked as a passenger
and when the train was about to make a station
•top near Herkimer he drew a pistol and marched
down the aisle of a coach collecting less than flbd
in money and a few watches from the passengers he
had startled from their naps. Then he made a bung-
ling jump off the front platform after a shot had been
fired at him by a baggageman who occupied a seat in
the roach.
It was an inferior train robbery from the point of
view of the senshationalist. It would ruin the repu-
tation of a motion picture director to stage such a
scene. Yet the thrill that it gave the passengers must
have been quite as great as If the author of it had
been an old-fashioned bad man who employed all the
picturesque arts of his craft.

TK® World Mid AS!
By Charlei P. Driscoll
WHAT’S YOUR REMEDY?
Crime has increased vastly in the United States
since the W’orld war. Of course violent crime always
increases after every war everywhere. You can’t take
the young manhood of a nation and drill it to shoot
and club and disembowel other young men without
paying a penalty in increase of violent crime. A cer-
tain per cent of the well-drilled young men will come
back home and kill and mutilate private enemies in-
stead of saving these attentions for the public ene-
mies whom one is duly authorized to kill.
So a part of this increase in violent crime is easy
to understand.
But the thing that is not quite so easy to compre-
hend is why there is more crime in the United States
of America than in other civilized countries.
• • • •
H. Addington Bruce writing in the February Cen-
tury. points out that four times as many criminals
are now in prison in New York state as in the whole
of England. Also that ten times as many automobiles
are stolen in Cleveland as in London which is about
ten times the size of Cleveland.
There are several ways of looking at these figures.
One reason why we might be expected to have more
persons in prison than England for instance is that
we imprison people for acts that are not offenses
against the law at all in England. It is not against
the law in England to sell and manufacture liquor
while in some of the American states one may go to
prison for life under certain circumstances for pos
sessing even the smallest imaginable quantity of
of liquor.
Then too while London is much larger than Cleve-
land Clevelanders probably own more cars than Lon-
doners.
• • * •
But even such considerations and allowances do
not explain all of the difference.
I remember comparing the homicide figures of Lon-
don with those of a Kansas town more than 90 per
cent American born of American born parents where
I once lived. Although the Kansas town was less than
a hundred thousand in population its annual murder
toll was twice that of London for several years.
In that particular case I knew that unbeautiful
local politics which offered sanctuaty to certain kinds
of criminals was responsible for more of the crimes of
violence. How much does crooked political manipula-
tion of American city governments have to do with
the crime situation in this country? It would be in-
teresting to have an intelligent study of this question.
And what are we going to do about it?

IMPORTANCE OF TRADE WITH FRANCE
EMPHASISED
By ALFRED P. DENNIS
Vice Chairmen of the Tariff Commission.
(Alfred Pearce Dennis was born in Worcester
county Md.. Jar. 10. 1809. He was graduated from
Princeton university where he was instructor of
history for a year. Frofessor of history at Wes-
leyan the following year he served in that ca-
pacity at Smith college the following nine years.
In 1907 he resigned on account of poor health and
enraged in business. From 1918 to 1921 he was
commercial attache at the American embassy in
Rome and later in London. He was appointed as-
sistant to Secretary of Commerce Hoover in 1924
and the following year was named vice chairman
of the U. S. tariff commission. He is the author
of several historical economical and political
articles).
Business in the Vnited States is based upon the
principle of abbreviation. Vp against the aw'ul brev-
ity of human life we must he at pains not only to get
a job done well hut done quickly. The answer to th*
problem is the belt conveyor and our amaring tech-
nique in mass production. We are pioneers; if we
can't succeed in the old way me are ready to try some-
thing new. American business develops as a crusta-
cean grow* by bursting it* shell and casting it off
Liberation from the hard shell of custom and tradi-
tion—ceaseless adaptation to new conditions—the prin-
ciple of elasticity and haste in American business all
contrast with the fixity and leisureliness which pre-
vail among older peoples of the world.
The French with quite a thousand years more of
rational history behind them have developed a geninj
for the exquisite. It takes time to produce such ex-
quisite thing* as perfect manners and perfect taste
\s men come up from the depths of savagery and rise
t bore the crude struggle for an animal existence tw<
[j 'acuities begin to emerge and develop first Intellect
aal curiosity which i* the beginning of all knowledge
and *econd. tha esthetic instinct which is the begin-
ning of all art. The hig'ly-developed esthetic instinct
of the French finds its expression in the commercial
genius of the country.
Roughly speaking we supply the French with ne-
cessities while they supply u* with luxuries. As oui
country grows in wealth and population ao too. will
our demand for the rare and exquisite thing# of life
errand end with It our need for exquisite fin* French
stuffs. When it comes to swapping commodities the
trade balance appears to lie with us. but our advan-
tage is apparent rather than real.
Trade relations between the two countries can ex-
pand mightily without crowding anyone off the batter.
I doubt if we are competitors with the French in world
markets to the amount of five per cent of their trade.
As international traders we have more to gain from
France prosperous than from France depressed. W«
have a bure commercial stake in the complete resto-
ration of French prosperity. Wc shall prosper by
trading with the French not against them.

. / THE STORY OF
f A GIRL WHO MADE
&JP J MEN LIKE HER
° By ROE FULKERSON "* O 1920 by Central Preaa Aoociation Inc. |
READ THIS FIRST:
Betty Brown danced for fun until
her parents died and then had to
dance for money. She has several
disagreeable experiences with men
who think because a woman dances
in public she is morally lax. Andy
Adair one of her schoolmates se-
cures her a position in a night club
where she is expected to act as host-
ess to lonesome men guests. Here
she discovers that entertainers and
guests alike take it for granted she
is Andy’s woman. She resents this
assumption but finds it dificult to
combat. As a dancer at the night
club she seems to make good and
the proprietor says he will keep her.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
• • •
CHAPTER XXVI
After Betty had danced at the
Iron Door for two weeks she became
quite friendly with all the care-free
but kindly group of girl performers.
The solemn-faced juggler drifted on
and one of the singers had also ex-
hausted her popularity. New people
came to replace them; Betty realized
her position was only temporary.
While she received enough ap-
plause she would be retained but as
soon ns fickle patrons lost interest
in her dancing she would have to
find n new position. In spit of ef-
fort* to forget this weighed on her
mind and depressed per.
Andv was still attentive dropping
in sometimes with another man or
two but often alone. He usually
met her at the close of the last show
to take h»r for a ride before' going
home. Betty slowly but surely
learned the theatrical habit of sleep-
ing late in the morning anf now
went out little except in the late aft-
ernoon.
She had been provident with her
money saving most of it. Girls at
the Iron Door were given a midnight
meal between shows. In her desire
to keep her figure she ate only this
meal and her very late breakfast.
One night just after she danced
Bill Paxton sent a waiter for her.
When she joined him at the table
from which he always watched the
show ard the dining room service
he said: “Guy wants to meet you
Big politician. Yes him to death.”
He led her erross the dance floor
to a fat man sitting alone at one of
the tables. “Jake this is Miss
Brown. Mr. Daubert. Betty.”
“Helo. Kid!” said Daubert with-
out rising. Betty seated herself re-
sentfully.
“Want a drink?” he asked.
“Mr. Paxton doesn't permit us to
drink." Betty gave him the reply
used by all the girls. It excused
them and did not offend the men
who offered.
“You can drink with me. I can
tiftM this place tomorrow if I wan!
to. and Bill Paxton knows it.”
“But I never drink anyway. 1
tried but I don’t like the taste of it."
"Tell that to the much-advertised
Marines!” jeered Daubert. “The only
people who don’t drink are people
who can’t get it.”
“It must be wonderful to be able
to get everything you want!” flat-
te-ed Betty.
“I do. I want you to drink!*
boasted the fst man.
“I wish I didn’t have to refuse
Wouldn’t you like to dance?”-
“No. I don’t dance. I just drink
l guess Bill didn’t tell you who I am
I’m the inside man in eity polities ir
this part of town. When I soap raj
fireers they all have to hop.”
“Are you an alderman?” aske«!
Betty trying to evade the liquoi
issue.
“I make and hreak slderwen.
make and hreak mayors too. 1
never hold office. I tell office holden
where to get off.”
“I kn#w vou must he a big wan.’'
Rettv tried to rarry out Paxton’i
instructions to please this man. al-
though she loathed the nigsrv eyes
oeerine at her from puffed lids the
tier after tier of chins rising from
his collar end the big diamond rings
on his pudgy hairv finrers.
“Who nut vou on h«re?” he a«ked.
“Mr. Paxton hired me if that’s
wh’t vou mean ”
“I know but who got yon you?
job r
“Mr. Adair an old schoolmate of
tn>"e introduced me to Mr. Paxtor."
“I ain’t talking of the college kids.
J want to know who is beind you
i Cone clean!”
“Why. no one is behind me. I
don’t quite understand you. I am
hired because 1 dance. 1 suppose I
will lose my position when the guests
tire of me.”
“Blah! I don’t like ’em when they
talk too much though sister. Keep
Sugar Papa hid if you want to. But
if nothing but your dancing holds
you here you won’t stay long. Bet-
ter hook up with some guy like me!”
“1 hope you like my dancing.”
Betty spoke nervohsly. She had
heard the other girls talk and an-
ticipated some unpleasantness.
“I like your dancing all right hid.
and I like you too. No girl was
ever sorry she was nice to Jake
Daubert. I got a pull in this town
1 tell you!”
“It must be very wonderful. I
have to change my costume before
long. I must go to the dressing room
now.”
"You stay here till I finish talk-
irg! I got something to say to you.
You are not living on the money you
make here. But 1 like you for keep-
ing your mouth shut. Nothing to i
this college boy stuff! How about '
you and me hooking up kid?” His
hand under the table pressed her
knee.
“I must go!” Betty slipped out of
her chair on the side away from him.
“Hey wait a minute!” cried
Daubert but Betty pretended not to
hear. She rushed breathlessly to the
dressing room and sat piling wait-
ing for hir next appearance. She
rubbed her knee vigorously to re-
lieve it of the contamination of his
touch.
She was nervous when she d»d her
next dsnee. She had learned the
dancer’s trick of shading her eye*
with her hand and peering acrosi
the tables saw him still seated there.
If he sent for her again she de-
termined to tell Bill Paxton what he
had proposed and not go back.
As she hurried out of the entrance
after the last show Jake Daubert
grabbed her shoulder. She turned to
avoid a scene as several people were
passing. «
“What’s hurry?” he asked grin-
ning. v „ .
“Ft is late. 1 must go home she
expUined trying to twist her shoul-
Her from his grasp. His hand
slipped down and he took a firm grip
on her wrist instead.
"I’ll take you home.” He pointed
at a car with a chauffeur which was
standing at the curb.
“N« I will walk. I dont want to
ride with you.”
"You are riding with me he an-
nounced pulling her toward the c*r.
Once in the big limousine Betty
knew she would have no chance with
this man. He held her by the left
hxnd. She swung her right with aii
the strength in her. hitting him a
resounding smack in the face.
“i’ou little hell cat!” he exc'aimed
“I’ll tame you fast enough!” He did
not release hi* hold on her but still
puled her toward the car.
"Let me loose or I’ll scream!” cried
Betty excitedly trying to Jerk away
from him. They were close to the
car now. Betty saw a roadster pull-
ing in behind it. She recognised it
and cried: Andy* Andy”
Almost before the *econd call Andy
was at her side. His fist hit Daubert
in the eye. and as his head doubled
back and be staggered. Andy’s other
fist landed in the pit of his stomach.
Dsubert grunted and sat down on
the running board of his own ear.
Andy did not wait for more as
several peonle i!ad gathered. Hus-
tling Betty to his roadster he backed
away from the limousine and drove
off He turned the comer looking
back to se see if the other car was
coming but Daubert evidently had
enough as his cat hid not moved.
“Oh Andy you were wonderful!"
fried Betty patting his arm. Before
he could reply she burst into tears
and buried her face In hie coat sleeve.
“Cry it out. and then tell me about
it" soothed Andy.
After sobbing a few ruinates Betty
explained. When she mentioned
Daubert*s name Andy whistled.
“That big fat crook may try to
gang me for this but I don't ear#. I
got in a couple of good punch**.” He
stopped the car on the river road
and cuddled Betty in his arms. She
still sobbed so he put his hand under
he- chin and ki*-ed her.
Betty was so hapoy over her raw
cut that she threw both arms around
his neck and kissed him rapturously.
Andy held her so close that ahe was
breathless but very happy.
“I have kissed you often” said
Andy nushing her sway. “But
that’s the first time you ever kissed
me. Are you falling for me?”
“I like you better than anyone in
the world!” exclaimed Betty kissing
him again.
“That certainly sounds good to
me” cried Andy. “1 s.hail make you
prove that young lady! But I won’t
rush the act. as you theatrical peo-
ple say. Kiss me pretty like that
again!”
Betty kissed him. again and again.
She clung to him both physically and
mentally. She felt very much aions
this night and Andy seemed about
all there was left in the world loi
her.

is CRUISER PROJECT NAVY
RACE GESTURE?
By CHARLES P. STEWART
WASHINGTON Feb. 13.—Unpop-
ular as it may be to say so in this
country—considering the side we
fought on in 1917-18—England is
being talked about in our congress
today in a fashion as like as two'
peas to the way the German reich-
stag talked about her for several
years before the World war.
Until recently in the senate and
later in the house of representa-
tives— •
Our big navy-ites are making the
most of Britain’s record for getting
into trouble with one nation after
another—as each in turn waxes
powerful enough to threaten to over-
shadow her.
• • •
Recall the past admonish the big
navy-ites—
Spain!—England squashed her
away hack in the 1500’s. France
never has been quite the same since
Waterloo. Russia!—only the fact
that Japan accidentally licked her
first saved John Bull the job of go-
ing to the mat with the Muscovite
menace.
Logically Nippon was next on the
list but Germany crowded in ahead
of her.
Maybe the Teutons were quarrel-
some. Still with that record of
England's what wonder they were
jumpy? Their navy was many laps
behind England's. Germany tried to
catch up. England hustled to keep
her advantage. The race was so ex-
pensive that ultimately a war must
have resulted anyway—with or with-
out Sarajevo—as cheaper than such
competition.
• • •
M hat the big navy-ites war.t to
know is—
If the United States is not now in
a position contrasted with Eng-
land’s comparable to Spain’s in the
1500’s to France’s In the Napoleonic
era. to Russia's during the late nine
teenth century to Germany s during
the first decade and a half of the
twentieth where is she?
Only—much much more so.
True the big navy-ites insist that
there is nothing in particular they I
are so anxious to preparu for but Ij
their argument sounds an if they
were decidedly suspicious of the j
British. \sp
The big navy-ites speak of *
“little navy-ites” rather content
uously. The term is not ito inteno?
ed here hut is used simply because ^
it is necessary to have aume name *
to call the anti-big navy-ites by.
The little navy-ites then quite i.
generally admit that there doubt-1
less are certain Britons who would ?
like to see America beaten as flat V
as Germany wan in 1918. a
But they maintain that there is r
this important difference— j*
England felt that she stood at T
least a fair fighting chanco of beat- r jj
ing Germany—of course by drag- r
ping a lot of other countries in to j!
help her. She fully realises that in r
the long run she cannot hope to beat
America. j
• • • T
Say the little navy-ites—
Unquestionably force is Britain's f
traditional reliance provided she “
can keep a predominance of it. .
However we should credit her with f
sufficient sense to change her policy |
when it would bankrupt her to stick
to it—and finally mean suicide.
Why not give her an opportunity
to climb down gracefully?—to dis- j
arm really?—enabling us to do so |
too?—as we want to do. J
Otherwise she certainly will elect ^
to die gloriously—at morns ous ex- 1
pense to her self to us and to ev-
ervbody with her hoots on.
• • •
The problem is—
Is this cruiser bill of ours a L
r.aw-racing gesture? /<T
Heaven knows! it the answer as
far as I can make out. I

A group of American tourists
! were being taken through the Na-
; tional Gallery in London. In one
I alcove was a giant-sixed picture of
1 one of the saints suffering the
agonies of martyrdom. A reverential
hush fell over the group as they
stood before the painting. Then
one of them with a loud checked
suit and a derby hat cocked over
one ear remarked:
“Gee don’t that guy look miser-

. would think his last gasp fcr breath
f was a hiccup and he wouldn't be
- able to excuse himself.”
