THE VALLEY FIRST AGAIN
Not the least among the many “firsts'*
which may justly be claimed by this sec-
tion we must note that we are first in
Texas to receive PWA loan money in any
substantial amounts.
To the best of our knowledge the three
PWA checks which have come into the
Valley recently are the first PWA checks
of anything more than inconsequential
amounts to bo received in the state.
First the city of Brownsville’s $45000
loan came through.
Then came the check for $40000 to the
city of Weslaco.
And lastly came the most recent check
one for nearly S;t 10.000 payable to the
Brownsville Navigation district.
Two things stand out in connection with i
the receipt of these checks.
First we would say is the concrete evi-
dence that the Public Works Administra-
tion is on the job putting out the money
to meritorious projects which have met the
approval of the administration and of the
president.
Second that those in charge of Valley j
projects have been on the job have met
the technical requirements of the Public
Works people in every respect and have
met them more quickly than have those in
charge of other projects for which the
money is not yet available.
The Valley has good reason to be proud
that our projects first stood the rigid in-
spection and scrutiny to which all PWA !
loan projects are subjected.
In the case of the Brownsville port loan
for example investigator after investi- I
gator delved into the records of the dis- j
trict from every conceivable angle and the |
same is true of the city of Weslaco and j
city of Brow nsville loans. That the proj- j
ects stood the close investigation given j
them speaks worlds for their merit.
And the Valley may well be proud that
those in charge of these projects were
business men able to meet the demands of
the PWA and to so order the affairs of
their projects that the PWA requirements
>vere met.
NEW CONQUESTS IN AIR
Ever since Lindbergh flew to Paris
Americans have been expecting regular
commercial transoceanic flights to be es-
tablished. The seeming ease with which
Lindbergh made his trip blinded us to the
difficulties of the feat; not until other fly-
ers had sacrificed their lives did we realize I

how far away such commercial service
really was.
Now however it appears that trans-
oceanic flights on a regular schedule are
fairly near to realization. Officials of
^an-American Airways say that it is only
“a matter of months” before they begin
operations across the Pacific with a fleet
of giant planes of the Clipper type.
And Dr. Hugo Eekener sails for Amer-
ica to discuss anew his plans for begin-
ning regular dirigible service between the
United States and Europe.
That both oceans will eventually be
spanned by commercial air lines seems cer-
tain; and it begins to look as if the dream
will be realized in the comparatively near
future.
Tuberculosis Fought
By Collapsing Lung
By DR. MORRIS FIM1BLIN
Editor Journal of the American Medical Association
and of Hygria. (he Health Magazine
Nature fortunately ha: provided us with much
more lung tissue than we need for breathing pur-
poses. and as a result a new method has been de-
veloped for the cure of such respiratory conditions
as tuberculosis.
The process involves the entire collapse of the
lung in the chest cavity. Its technical term is **ar- :
tificial pneumothorax."
Pneumothorax was coined in 1803 to describe the
presence of air in the chest cavity outside the lung
Through use of the X-ray many such conditions 1
have been discovered.
Around 1822 a Scotch doctor found that he could
cause a lung to collapse by putting air into the chest
cavity outside the lung. It was not. however until
1892 that a physician actually introduced air Into
the chest cavity to rest a diseased lung.
An Italian doctor named For Ian ini first tried this
procedure. Then the eminent surgeon. John B
Murphy in Chicago tried the method in 1898 and
published his results. Various gases were used for the -
purpose but it was finally iound that filtered air was •
the most practical and satisfactory.
* * * l
While the method is relatively simple naturally
some dangers are a seriated with it. One of these a
dangers is that the needle used to inject the air may 1
get into the blood vessel and produce what is known
as a gas embolus. i
Such an embolus getting into one of the blood ves- i
sels might r**ach the bram or the heart and produce
a most serious condition. However it is possible to
guard against this complication. In fact such an
accident has been found to occur only five times in *
20 000 cases. t
The chief value of this method is. of course to rest .
a lung that is diseased by collapsing It and keeping
it from breathing over a certain period of time. Be- *
cause we have much more lung tissue than we need
the collapsing of a lung or a part of a lung is not like- \
ly to have a serious result on our breathing i
• • • i
There are however certain types of cases In which -
it would be more serious than in others—namely
cast's of severe heart disease and of asthma. j
It has long been known that strict reat in bed l» <
one of the most Important form* of treatment for <
those who have tuberculosis. The collapsing of the
lung is superior to rest in bed. because it rests the
lung completely.
When you realize that the average person breathes t
about 25000 times a day you can pet an idea of how (
much rest the afflicted lung actually gets when it ]
stops breathing. 1
The good results that have been secured in this ‘
type of treatnient depend largely on the intelligence
with which the method is used.
Today the method is tried not only in adults but I
in children and In very aged people. It serves to a i
considerable extent to stop the spread of tuber- f
culosis because It closes up cavities and prevents the *
organisms from getting into the sputum.

government's credit is being impaired by recovery 1

NEW YORK. Nov. 7.—The inde-

j will surprise many persons. The re-

At the very beginning oi the ses-

of the game.

matter in that light. They term suen
tactics as corruption.
The progressives are hearing
plenty of stones of intimidation rf

enforced contribution to campaign
funds and of disenfranchisement.
California has received the publi-
city but California is not the only

Similar stories concerning labor

most unbelievable story emanating

been committed to an insane isylum

Taxes
An intense fight will develop in
congress over taxes.
Busu ess men are urging that

The admlustration probably will
not push lor much higher taxes ex-
cept on Inheritances.
But congress undoubtedly will be
for higher taxes m the upperl
brackets.

SIDNEY GRIFF emerged from the
row of telephone booth* and
waited Impatiently until Meeker
came from an adjoining booth.
“Have you found out anything?'
he atkcd.
Meeker nodded hia face grimly
purposeful.
“Racine.* he said “the detective
has located the Malone woman—
that la. we think it's the Malone
woman although ahe'a nut going
under that name rl-’ht at present
Shea located at 922 Fast Kim street
and is going uuder the name of

found out about her earlier in the
day and kept hi* Information under
cover because he went to the Pal-
ace hotel and waited there for la
minutes. At the end of that time
a woman Jolnt?d him. From the
description 1 gather that it’s Mrs
Frank B. Cathay. Together they
went to cal! on Blanche Stanway.
They're still there.’'
Sidney Griff frowned medita-
tively.
"Wo’ll go there first" he said.
"Detectives who aie working lor
mo have located Mary Briggs the
bit* h hiker. Naturally she’s Ira
portant. but she’s not as important
as the Malone woman."
“Just who.” asked Bleaker “do
you figure this Malone woman is?’
“That" Griff told him “is some-
thing that remains to be deter
mined So fur. I am working in
this case on a theory and only on
a theory."
“But you think it’s going to check
out?"
“It is checking out." Grtff said.
"What’s the theory?"
"In every case." Griff told him
“there’s some key flew—something
that dominates ail of the other
clews—something that points di
redly to the motive for the ertno
and the manner of its esecutloo. a*
well as Identity of its perpetrator
The key clew in this case was tht
counterfeit crook"
“The counterfeit crook?" Bleeke.
asked. “Who do you mean?"
“The man who posed as the pick
pocket who bad Cathay’s wallet
driving licenses and credentials.
“Why do you say he couldn’t have
tieen a crook?" Meeker asked.

him- "I do not say the man

a counterfeit crook.
"He gave a very fair Imitation
of Cathay a ■Ignature at the police
station He gave a fairly accurate
imitation of Cathay’s signature
when he registered at the hotel."
“He might have t*een a forger.’ j
Meeker pointed out
“Those things." Griff said “take
1 practice But mark you here is the
most significant thing of all. He i
| cashes a check at the hotel where
i he is registered under the name of i
Frank II Cathay and that check
passed through the bunk at Hirer

hotel to keep an appointment with

"However wi re wasting valuable

“But look here." Meeker de
manded. “you don t have any doubt
I that Kenneth Boone and the girl

“As to that Griff said “we are
going to make some interesting and
1 think some rather startling di<*
covaries. Come lit** tee if we can t
get to I3J Fa3t Kim street before

They rode for a minute or two
in silence and then Griff said sadly
“It will be one of my greatest re

J is one thing which we shall profe
