AND HOW do you like the new-
type face that is now being used
by The Herald?
t This is the Mergenthaler Linotype
company's latest development in a
^jrpe face for newspaper?.. It is
•Jtown as Ionic.
It has been in use now for more
jthan a year by hundreds of news-
papers over the United States.
It has been declared by opto-
metrists to be easier on the eye
than any other news type face ever |
developed in the history of the ;
Industry.
The change involved a consider-
able expenditure but it is one tm-
^provement that The Herald deem-
ed necessary.
» Incidentally The Herald recently
has Installed a Ludlow typesetting
machine for the benefit of its ad- !
vertlsers.
The Ludlow also involving a con- I
slderable expenditure gives every
.Herald advertisement new type.
\fter being used one time it goes ■
'F'fc to the melting pot.
i m assures clean unbroken let-
ters for every display advertise-

BROWNSVILLE is planning a
big day for Saturday. March 9.
It Is the day on which the first
international air mail will be car- |
ried between Brov.nsville-Mata- t
moros and Mexico City.
Airplanes will leave each term-
inal on that day.
Newsreel photographers will be
here on that day to photograph j
details of the event.
And will remain over until the
next day. March 10. when Captain j
Ira Eaker will start his dawn-to-
dusk flight from Brownsville to
Panama.
Airplane manufacturers expect j
»o have airplanes here for the
event for exhibit purposes.
And visitors w ill tee one of the |
fanciest little airport* to be found
anywhere in the United States.

FRESH FISH by airplane seems j
to be receiving more attention. |
Since the Tex-Mex Fisheries of
Brownsville pioneered in the field j
In transporting fish from Mexican
fishing grounds to Brownsville j
thence to other markets.
News dispatches from Galveston j
announce plans for organization of
'a company to transport fish by
»airplane from Galveston to Ok.la- I
homa City and Tulsa. 1
Interior cities have a yen for salt
water fish. And the fresher the
better.

EVERY NOW and so often some- ]
one breaks out with a new idea in |
the matter of making a living
Up at McAllen theres a ht.le
fellow named Benny Fox. He hails
from Chicago.
His method of making a living Is
to climb up on a flag pole over
some high building.
And to sit there for a hundred
hours or more straight
He induces advertisers to hook
up-* his stunt with their advertis-
ing And presumably receives a
percentage tor the additional at-
g. la entitled to alt he ran get
for the effort.
Certainly few of us will be .n-
eiined to compete with him.

A NEW ICE CREAM manufac-
turing plant to announced for
Browpsvillc .
Byjfcl Lovett who comes here
from San Antonio.
It means a $30000 investment in
building and equipment. And the
employment of ten or more persons
at the start. . . .. ..
But that to only a part of It It
also means an additional market
for the milk and cream produced
on nearby farms. ^
And opens a new opportunity for
farmers in the Brownsville arm. if
“hey will but take advantage of it.
: Every farmer should have at
least two cows and four six. eight
or ten. if possible.
Cows and their products mean
additional revenue for the farm
And the year around at that.
Possibly the promotion of dairy-
ing around Brownsville would be a
worthy activity for the chamber of
commerce.

UP AROUND the Canadian line
due north from Brownsville cold

while somewhat below normal are
a standing invitation to the folks
of "the Canadian border country to

der. _ ...

HUGE MERGER
EASTERN RAIL
LINES ASKED
Van Sweringen Inter-
ests File Application
To Acquire Ten
Trunk Lines
WASHINGTON. Feb 20.—<>P>—
Two attempts to bring about huge
scale railroad consolidations in east-
ern trunk line teritory have been
initiated before the interstate com-
merce commission. The first was
that of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad which yesterday asked the
commision to approve steps it may-
take to expand its present system by
the acquisition of a half a score of
other trunk lines. The second came
today and was made by the Van
Sweringen interests.
Even the vast site of the previous
railroad amalgamations projected
by the Cleveland group was exceed-
ed in today's proposals which
named for complete or partial con-
centration not only the several im-
portant rail systems commonly iden-
tified as Van Sweringen property
but also a half score other lines
some now owned by hostile and op-
posing railroad organisations.
Specifically the commission was
asked- to find that the public inter-
est would allow the “grouping or
unification” of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad a main Van Swerin-
een stem with the Erie nickel ntate.
Pere Marquette and Hocking Valiev
svstems all now Van Sweringen
owned; whtle jn addition should be
added the Wheeling and Lake Erie.

Statement of Inform-
ant Implicates
Policeman
CHICAGO. Feh. 20—The
enforcement agencies of the United
States government. Cook county
and the city of Chicago expressed
a united belief today that last
Thursday’s mass murder of gang-
sters was approaching solution.
A secret imformant gave signifi-
cant information to federal in-
vestigators last night. It lent cor-
roborative color to the theory first
expressed by a federal official
that Chicago police officers mav
have had a part in the sevenfold
slaying.
“Morgan's gang ‘the seven who
were killed were members of the
George Morgan crowd) stole S12 000
worh of a policeman's liquor.” said
the informant “and that's what
the shooting’s all about.”
He went into detail
"The policeman who owned the
liquor lias a partner and a sweet-
heart The girl runs a beauty shop
and the partner runs a roadhouse
northwest of Chicago. The offi-
cer has a half interest in the road-
house.
"Find the policeman who fits
this picture and you’ve got some-
thing”
It mas explained that the in-
formant had overheard a conversa-
tion between the poh-'eman and the
girl through a partitino of the
beauty shop.

Hand- Wabble ’Pump
Device to Aid Eaker
Here on Panama Trip
Under a special refueling device]
a 'hand-wobble ’ pump Capt. Ira
C. Eaker on his dawn-to-dusk
flight from Brownsville to the
Panama canal will be enabled toj
fill his 70-gallon gasoline tank in |
from two to three minutes on five
stops scheduled. Information to
this effect was given out Wednes-
day by army officers at Kelly Field
San Antonio.
The start is to be made here
early on the morning of March 10
about 4 o'clock it is said and at
first there was some speculation as
to how the trip could be made In
the specified time in view of the
time ordinarily consumed in refuel-
ing.
Uses High Test Fuel
On each of the five stops it be-
came known he will fill his tanks
with extra high test airplane fuel
consisting of 25 per cent benzol and
75 per cent aviation gasoline. In-
stead of using the ordinary slow
method of pouring the gas in from
tins through a funnel. Captain Eak-
er will have installed on the side
of the cockpit the “hand-wobble"
pump to which will be attached
a 200-foot hose. The latter will be
inserted into drums from which
the gas will be dumped directly into
the tanks at the rate of about 35
gallons per minute.
As the motor of his plane. “The
Pan-Ameican." will be kept run-
ning while refueling it is esti-
mated that hardly more than three
minutes will be consumed a each
landing. Information received here
was to the effect that in addition
to the 70-gallon tank under the mo-
tor. the ship will have a 50-gallon
tank built in he fuselage. The 450-
horsepower motor will consume gas
at the rate of 35 gallons an hour.

Love Bailey Clash On
*Good Democracy’ Recipe
AUSTIN. Feb. 30.—'/TV-Two
war horses in Texas polities
crossed each other s path in the
Texas senate yesterday when
former U. S. Senator Joseph W.
Bailey and State Senator Thomas
B. Love disagreed on what con-
stitutes “good democracy."
Senator Bailey speaking on
invitation of the senate enum-
erated five principles which he
said all good democrats should
endorse and admonished the
senators that if they adhered to
those fundamental* they would
“not lose any real democrats."
“You will lose some counterfeit
democrats but we should rejoice
at their leaving." Senator Bailey
declared.
*
He laid down the rule that
“only democrats should make
democratic nominations and pro-
mulgate democratic doctrines ’*
Rising to a point of personal
privilege. Senator Love charged
that Bailey had indicted the
“majority of the voters of Tex-
as’* and declared Bailey had over-
stepped the bounds of courtesy
extended him by the senate.
“He asserted that there Is no
room in the democratic party for
a zealous prohibitionist." Love
stated. “Every time In recent
years that Bailey has come In
conflict with me end the people
with whose ideals with whom I
am in accord be has been over-
whelmingly defeated.**

Embankment
PEORIA. 111. Feb. 20 —OV-At
least six miners were killed in a
tram wreck today and about 200
others were injured some so seri-
ously they may die.
The accident occurred near Hol-
lis. 111. five miles south of here.
Four cars of an 11-car Peoria Term-
inal railway train carrying 900 min-
ers went over a 25-foot embank-
ment.
One of the cars caught fire from
an overturned stove but the fire was
extinguished. Jim Clark a miner
probably was fatally burned when
he was knocked unconscious and
fell across the stove. He was res-
cued by a fellow worker.
Carried Miners
The train was known as miners
train No. 1 and was bound for the
Crescent coal mines 15 miles south
of here. Engineer F. O. Fisher of
Peoria said he was proceeding be-
tween 12 and 15 miles an hour and
did not know anything was wrong
until he glanced over his shoulder
and saw the cars tumbling over the
embankment.
He cut his engine from the train
and ran to Hollis where help was
summoned doctors ambulances and
nurses coming from Pvona and
from Martinville. Within a few
minutes scores of wives and child-
ren of the miners were on the
scene some of them only half
gi wswf wmiig- tTie ■ mr tyruw ’ttro
weather.
There was much confusion due
to the fact that persons living
nearby rushed to the wreck In auto-
mobiles and took many of the In-
jured to Peoria hospitals so that
relatives were unable to find them.
Officials of the railway attribut-
ed the accident to a broken “fish
plate."
The identified dead included
George Jones. William Brown. Ce-
cil Walker and George Wilkinson.

CHANGE URGED
IN CHECK ACT
Elimination of Time
Clause Sought By
Merchants
(Sneci®! to Th® Herald)
HARLINGEN. Feb. 20—An ap-
peal to the legislature to eliminate
the time clause in the present “bad
check'' law Is to be urged by Retail
Merchants association of the Valley
it was decided on at a meeting of
secretaries of such orders here last
night.
Under the present law when a
"cold" check is given the giver must
be allowed 14 days notice In which
to make it good before he can be
prosecuted. It is this clause which
is sought to be eliminated the sec-
retaries contending that it permits
the man or woman who makes a
practice of giving such bad checks
time in which to leave the state
The secretaries are to elect offi-
cers at the next meeting which is
to be held the third Tuesday in
March at Mercedes.
A nominating committee was ap-
pointed consisting of Mrs. Mary
Moses of the Harlingen association.
Miss J. Bernardlne Price secretary
of the Brownsville body and Miss
Elizabeth Collier secretary of the
Edinburg order.
Miss J. Bernardlne Price who at-
tended the meeting said that local
merchants should urge their legis-
lators to work for an amendment to
the present bad check law so that
the time clause might be done away
with. The present law is inade-
quate. she believes.
Two “cold” checks given Browns-
ville merchants have been collected
by the association she says.
