Brownsville Merchants
Prepare For Dad’s Day |
——- I
Seventh annual national Fathers*
Say will mark next Sunday June
16. It being the third Sunday in the
month. This date witnesses the
Usual customary observances In
honor of the fathers heading the
23000 000 families In the U. S A
It also may be the occasion for
new and novel stunts in Dad s
honor although none as yet have
been ennouncsd for Brownsville. .
Father's day’s widespread and
continued observance has created
numerous standardized customs al-
ways the test of permanent pop-
ular it \ in an observance day Moth-
er’s day cannot be cut out of the
calendar and though its sentiment
1* different. Father’s flay proves its
permanence in its own particular
toving and jolly customs perpetu-
ated yearly.
Brownsville merchants have made
more prepartion for the approach-
ing Father’s day than ever before.
Now that it is a well established
day on which fathers are remem-
bered with gifts by their children
merchants have arranged their
stocks accordingly.
One Brownsville store has alrradv
received a hue? number of tie%
which they will feature as cifts for
him. and another says it will have
eerrything he wears prominently
displayed ir order to insure a quick
yet perfect selection for him. who
has done so much for us and sacri-
fiped to such an extent for our wel-
fare
Still another store ownpr said h«
would present a partial list of sug-
gestions for suitable cifts for fath-
er in a window display which will
contain nothing but wearing appar-
el. This same merchant said he
had coached his entire selling or-
ganization in helping the customer
to select his gift. He added that
his salesmen were acquainted with
most Brownsville fathers which
fact would further aid in the selec-
tion of a suitable present few him
who is forgotten on almost every
other day in the year.
It is not known whether Browns-
ville churches will have Fathers
day programs but it is likely that
some tribute will be paid him here.
Thousands of churches throughout
the nation already have taken up
the custom of annual Father's day
sermons.
Orchard Heating Is
Crop Insurance New
Bulletin Declares
'By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. D C . June 13 —
Orchard heating must be regarded
as a form of crop insurance says
Flovd D. Young of the weather bu-
reau who observes that “the ef-
fectiveness of orchard heating when
oroperly compared with insuring a
house avainst damage by fire for
it is reasonably sure that the fruit
crop will be damaged by frost every
few years while insurance on a
I building may be carried for a gen-
eration without fire damage. As a
genera! rule during years when
orchard-heating expenses are heavi-
est. there is a shortage of first grade
fruit which brings better than av-
erage prices.”

Malicious Propaganda
No amount of malicious propaganda
an insult to public intelligence and
pood faith can sway public belief in
this fact: Lucky Strike is £ Hcnd of
choice tobaccos whose toasted flavor
thrills the taste w hose toasting proc-
ess eliminates impurities and as
20679-^fr physicians testify makes
Luckies Ies9 irritating. Toasting
elevates Lucky Strike to a plane of
quality which no other cigarette can
approach. The constant care of ex-
perts assures the quality of Luckies.
Its choice by millions proves its su-
periority and is the truthful answer
to selfish claims.

Hollywood Warfare Predicted
As Equity Extends Its Control
NEW YORK June 13—The mast
interesting warfare Hollywood has
ever viewed looms on the California
horizon as the Actors' Equity asso-
ciation ‘stage players' union*
launches its drive to retain control
of those members who have deserted
stage for more lucrative camera and
microphone.
Until this day the flicker industry
has been notoriously open shop. To
be sure the hirelings of the screen
had their clubs and societies and
their Academies of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences and what nots but ■
these were hardly labor unions. Ac- !
tors’ Equity is—and how!
The controversy was launched
with Equity's ukase that all mem-
bers of Equity playing in sound or
talking pictures must not play in
pictures except those made by an
all-Equity cast unless the members
J had signed contracts prior to June
! 5. When these contracts terminate
the players are made subject to the
all-Equity cast ruling. Equity has
also issued a standard talkie con-
tract for members* use. . 1
The move on the part of Equity
is not. apparently an attempt at
conquest of the ranks of screen
players but an effort to keep Equity
at least to it* present standard and
star Introduction of the talkie into
the sound field has robbed the stage
of a vast number of Equity players
and until June 5. these were lost to
the organisation
Two noted women players chas-
tised by Equity by suspension from
stage work turned their punishment ‘
into profit by immediately becom- j
ing movie stars. Such procedure
would be impossible should Equity
gain its goal of 100 per cent Equity
screen casts
One clause in the Equity contract
which should make a big hit with all
film plavers is one which calls for a
♦8-hour week. With the rush to
put talkies on the market players
have been called upon to work late
hours often into the night.
It is hardly likely that all this will
please picture producers who. here-
tofore. had enjoyed complete control
of the industry. Comment from
I everal offices has indicated the pro-
ducers do not like the idea even a
i little bit. So it looks as though

Meat Ppckin# Plant
In Valley Planned
By Arkansas Group
Plants for a meat parking plant
to be located somewhere In the Val-
ley were announced hero Thursday
bv F B Baker who said he and
his associates who have for many
years been in the same business in
Arkansas had definitely decided to i
locate here.
The plant would manufacture all
sorts of meats and accessories ordi-
narily found in the meat market
and In addition would run two re-
frigerated trucks to the various
wholesale establishments retail
grocery stores and markets and
cafes over the Valley. Thev also
would ship out meats by the car-
load.
Carry Secret Missives
Germany’s Silent Nine
BERLIN June 13.- -T—Germany
has a “silent nine” whose pictures
nobody ever receives and whose
names are never publicly divulged.
They are couriers of the foreign
office who carry the sealed diplo-
matic pouches from the German
capital to foreign lands.
Most of their trips are across Eu-
rope or Asia for they are seldom
used for overseas journeys. Gener-
1 ally the captains of German ocean
liners are employed on such mis-
sions and their first objective on
shore leave is to the German em-
bassy or delegation.
Sometimes too. the foreign office
does not care to take the risk of
reducing special instructions to
writing. In such cases a trusted
attache of the foreign office is
coached to memorize verba! orders
or information. When he arrives
at his destination he Identifies him-
self with a password and the am-1
bassador or minister personally
takes down the instructions as they
are recited to him
In the regular routine however
the “silent nine” are employed to!
convey confidential documents. Ev
ery month the rode division of the
foreign office maps out. their ra-.i-
wav schedules and it knows day by
dav where each man is. whether in
Kovno Moscow’. Angora Tirana.
Rome. Madrid or London
An outsider has little chance to
1 recognize these men for what t hey
are They travel first class as they
are not expected to risk loss of their
baggage by sharing their railway
I compartment* with others. This.
. however is the only luxury in which
they Indulge They stop In good hut
;not extravagant hotels live un-
; ostentatiously and never let their
baggage out of sight.
If a courier deems it essential he
may request Vte foreign government
through whose country he is trav-
eling. to surround him with soeclal
safety measures such as detectives
or police guards This Is a priv iege
however of which the courier ikes
advantage only in rare ins»a. ~ev
because his Identity becomes km wn
to too many. Whether he carries a
pistol not even the Foreign Office
knows.
The hiss is the only sound whi-h
has no echo.
