TO MEXICO CITY BY HIGHWAY
It is when one considers the actual
figures of the distance to Mexico City
from various points in the United States
that one becomes thoroughly convinced of
the advantages offered to tourists of com-
ing into Mexico via Houston and Browns-
ville—when the Kenedy county road link
and the Matanioros to Victoria highway
are completed.
All of us are “for” those two roads
perhaps too few of us realize the sound
reasons for our espousal of their construc-
tion.
( onsider the distance to Mexico City by
road via San Antonio and Laredo as com-
pared to the distance to Mexico City via
Houston and Brownsville.
From Houston to Mexico City by way
of Brownsville-Matamoros is 981 miles.
From Houston to Mexico City by way of
Laredo is 1128 miles a saving for the
Valley route of 147 miles to which may
be added 50 more miles of saving when
the Kenedy county road is opened.
From Albany New York via Houston-
Brownsville-Matamoros-Victoria is 2845
miles. Via San Antonio-Laredo the dis-
tance is 2933 miles a saving for the local
route of 88 miles to which again we may
add 50 miles provisional on the Kenedy
county road construction.
From Baltimore earning our way the
distance is 2569 miles. Going the San
Antonio-Laredo route will cost the tourist
just exactly 131 miles with that same 50
miles to be added to the saving for the
Kenedy county road.
Or from Cincinnati to Mexico City by
way of Houston-Brownsville-Matamoros-
Victoria the tourist will travel 2134 miles
as opposed to 2223 miles the long way
round with that 50 mile Kenedy county
saving still to he added.
Coming by way of Houston and Browns-
ville saves the party from St. Louis a cold
104 miles with that 50 mile saving not
counted in: while the party from Memphis
saves 89 miles still not counting the 50 mile
Kenedy saving.
And from Indianapolis the tourist saves
98 miles coming through Houston to
Brownsville to Victoria.
And then consider the man from Chica-
go going to Mexico City. If he comes by-
way of Houston and Brownsville he tra-
vels 1786 miles to Mexico City. If he goes
through San Antonio-Laredo he travels
2218 miles or 432 miles additional with
the 50 mile Kenedy saving again not con-
sidered.
The figures which have been used are
from T. L. Evans manager of the Domestic
and Foreign Trade* Departments of the
Houston Chamber of Commerce and are
authentic.
No one in the Valley or out of the Val-
ley can consider these proportionate dis-
tances and not realize the attraction these
two roads jointly offer to the tourist par-
ties originating east of a north and south
line passing through Houston.
There is sound common sense in back of
the efforts to speed the construction of the
Kenedy County road link and the Mata-
moros-Victoria road.
More Difficulty Met
In Repair of Hip
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal of the American Medical Association
and of Bygela the Health Magasiae
An injury to the hip joint is one of the most seri-
ous you can suffer. Although it is a ball and socket
Joint like that of the shoulder it does not move as
easily because the socket is deeper and the struc-
tures moving In the joint are larger.
Therefore an injured hip Joint is more difficult to
correct than *n injured shoulder Joint.
* After the torn or damaged tissues have been heal-
ed. the doctor or physiotherapist tries to restore mo-
tion by reproducing the movements common to the
Joint in time of health. They involve rotating the
leg inward and outward drawing the leg upward and
extending it.
These motons are earned out slowly and steadily
but never to the point where they are seriously re-
sisted by the patient.
The following exercises are recommended:
1. Lie face down leg supported off the bed. knee
straight try to draw the knee toward the bed with
the help of gravity <no resistance being used by the
operator).
2. Lie on your back operator lifts the leg (the
knee straight) and you force it down
3. Lie on side to be exercised a piece of powdered
cardboard under the leg. the operator holds the other
leg. Now bring the knee to the chest.
4. Same as exercise 3. except that you bring the
leg back.
5. Lying on your back leg on a piece of powdered
cardboard move the leg directly sidewise without
lifting the foot keeping knee straight and foot up.
6. Lie on your back same as in exercise 5. except
that you bring the leg in.
7. Lie on the good side operator holds the aifect.
ed leg up. knee strtight now bring 1t down to the
other leg.
8. Sit with knees bent leg* hanging raise the leg
to the side away from the other leg keeping knees
together.
9. Sit with legs hanging raise the leg across in
front of the other leg to the knee.
10. Lie on your back heels on powdered cardboard
knees at right angles straighten the knees and re*
turn to first position.
11. Lie on your back knee* straight raise both legs
to an angle of 90 degrees and move them forward
and back alternating.
12. Lie on your back. knee*> straight raise both
legs to an angle of 45 degrees then 90 degrees back
to 45 degrees and to position.
13 Sit. body erect knees straight reach forward
and touch the toes.
14 Stand grasp a chair for support; swing leg
loosely from the hip
One of the best exercises for the hip joint is
bicycling
There s no way for us to keep out or European
questions if we got into th* World Court —Senator
William E Borah.
From a purely com me trial viewpoint the recogni-
tion of Russia has proved s delusion —U. S Senator
W W Barbour of New Jersey.
Our colleges need to educate not only leaders but
also intelligent and critical followers —Dean Tristram
W. Metcalf ol Long Island University.
To be ad'.enturous in the interest of peace rather
appeals I think to women —Mrs. Franklin D. Rooee- (

Bl LESLIE EICHEL
(Central Press Staff Writer)
NEW YORK. Feb. 5.—It is not
industrial labor which is likely to
cause the Roosevelt administration
unrest during 1935. but the fanners.
Purchasing power of the farmers
again is declining. Crops may be
good but there is less livestock—
and there are higher prices on man-
ufactured goods and higher taxes.
Taxes are pyramided when they en-
ter into the cost of manufactured
article*
Farmers* purchasing power in
1934 was estimated down 27.2 from
1929—but it was up 23 6 per cent from
the 1932 low.
• • •
Dictatorial Powers
There is considerable discussion in
all circles now of the new dictatorial
powers granted to the president in
the work relief bill Jammed through
the house of representatives.
Republicans are gaining adherents
in the^r cry that congress is dele-
gating too much of its own power
to the president. Chiefly there is
objection that the president can
draw up official executive act*
which thus become the law of the
land violation of which is punish-
able by fine or imprisonment or
both.
Opponents argue that this is only
a step short of powers assumed by
such dictators as Stalin. Mussolini
Hitler.
Persons close to the Roosevelt
administration say a concentration
of relief power in the executive is
necessary to achieve any results.
But supporters of a democratic
form of government ask whether
such powers once delegated ever
are annulled or returned following
the emergency.
A Dictator's W ay
We hear—how authentically we do
not know-how one dictator puts hii
enemies out of the way
Stalin ii> reputed to have *ent to
a ‘living death * Gregon Zinoviev
and Leo Kamenev who dared to op-
pose the Soviet dictator.
The two once eminent Bolshevik
leaders were taken handcuffed to a
freight train with neither heat nor
other comforts for a long ride to
their place of exile—Solovetskl Is-
land. in the White Sea. within the
Arctic Circle Eight days and eight
nights these men had to travel due
north in the midst of winter to
Archangel. Thence for six davs in
horse-drawn sleighs they proceeded
to their enforced destination.
When the Soviets delegated great
power to Lenin they probably little
realized that a Stalin would succeed I
him—and order life or death for 160
million persons.
• • •
Electrification
There is a rumor that there may-
be more railroad electrifications-1
with government money.
The Pennsylvania railroad may
electrify what probably is the heavi-
est tonnage railroad division in
America—between Altoona. Pa. and
Pittsburgh over the Alleghennv
mountains.
Saving in hauling cost would1
be high—probably 100 millions. That
how-ever. is no more than the Penn-
sylvania^ electrification costs be-
tween New York and Washington.
• • •
Judgeship Plums
In the mass of legislation passing
through congress bills for new
Judgeships are likely to pass
Congressmen always arc eager to
create these lucrative posts.
Creating a federal Judgeship sad-
dles considerable of a burden on the
public. The lawyer who gets the Job
gets it for life: but that is not the
worst «unless the appointee be a
very incompetent or unwise mam.
The worst is the routine that goes
with each federal Judicial office. No
one ever has estimated the cost of
this retinue. It may be surprising.
Approximately 1-200th of s cent’s
worth of electricity is held by the
average thundercloud

WASHINGTON
By Gw|« Dumo
Export*—Friends of George Peek
batted around the New Deal and fi-
nally coming to roost as Special
Trade Adviser to the president are
beginning to think his day in court
is near at hand.
Peek u> the advocate of ••Yankee
trading" in driving commercial
agreements with foreign nations. If
he ever gets a chance he will do it
through the Export-Import Banks
•he is authorized to start function-
ing.
But up to now the former Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administrator has
run afoul of Secretary of State Hull’s
ideas of only negotiating reciprocal
trade treaties containing the “most-
:avored nation" clause which gives
tariff equality to ail.
• • •
Senate rejection of the World
Court was the first ray of light to be
seen by those advocating the Peek
system. They argue it showed the
temper of this country to be suffi-
ciently nationalistic to permit some
advantageous bargaining for trade.
Also there is a growing belief in
Washington that President Roosevelt
has gone loyally down the line for his
chief cabinet officer. Secretary Hull
without obtaining many material
results thus far. Of the fifteen rec-
iprocity agreements on the fire the
only clear-out progress to date has
been made with Brazil.
All of which makes the Peek Ad-
herents hopeful we are due for a per-
iod of hard-money give-and-take
bargaining.
• • I
Cotton—The saddest blow to fall
on Peek’s brow recently was the up-
setting of his tentative agreement to
sell 800.000 bales of cotton to Ger-
many. Anti-Hitler influences play-
ed skilfully on the state department's
emotions to undermine it.
Briefly. Peek's office had arranged
to sell those 800.000 bales to Ger-
many for $50000000 of which $12-
500.000 was to be paid down. As Herr
Hitler does not allow any of his
money to go out of the country cred-
it was to have been established in
reichsmarks m Germany fer the
benefit of American importers. The
beauty of Peeks bargain was that
the reichsmark is now quoted at
about 32 cents whereas under the
agreement we would have had them
at the rate of 23 cents. Germany
needo cotton badly.
American chemical interests are
given official credit for blocking the
trade. It was dinned into oliiciai
Washington's ear that German
chemicals would be imported in ex-
change for the cotton at the expense
ol our industry. Those who should
know however say that Germany
would have had to stipulate what
commodities would be shipped here
in return lor the cotton before the
bargain was sealed.
• • •
Trouble—Secretary of Labor Fran-
cis Perkins has warned President
Roosevelt to be prepared for trouble
in the textile industry in the not-
far-distant future.
Large numbers of workers still
have been unreturned to work since
the last strike. Further the head-
long efforts of the American Fed-
eration of Labor to unionize the in-
dustry completely are reported to
have the mill owners in a fighting
mood.
A survey of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics developed four interesting
factors: (1) that the cotton textile
industry is still one of the lowest
paid in the country*; <2> that the
average hourly w ages since the code
have gone up higher regardless than
3ny of the other 85 Industries re-
porting; <3> thai most of the em-
ployers have met the basic minimum
wage but have not maintained the
differentials between the various
grades of skilled labor and. »4> that
southern labor is distinctly restless
with complaints the mill owners are
not complying with Section 7A and
are violating the code stretch-out
provision*
• • •
Play-Off — The third finding of
the Labor Statistics Bureau may
Rive the textile industrialists cause
for a faint cheer
Reports from the bosses have bc*n
that the upper grades of textile la-
bor axe getting a bit sore. Many of
them believe the advance of the un-
skilled worker to a liv.ng minimum
wage has been at their expense.
When and as a strike becomes im-
minent close observers expect the
employers to play the skilled work-
ers against the unskilled. Francis
Gorman dynamic spokesman for the
Textile Workers Union will bet you
it won t work

Loans — Hon Jesse Jones* Recon-
struction Finance Corporation con-
tinues to make grand financial
statements to the White House. In
the period between Jan 5 and Jan.
18 it reported authorisations of
$15000000. disbursements of $23-
000000 and repayments of $38000-
000.
But this report reached the Pres-
ident's desk with a footnote from
Donald Richberg's National Emer-
gency Council which said that crit-
icism still persists that business
loans arc hard to get because of the
nature of the security requirements.
The criticisms apparently came
from six midwestern states.
• • •
Obstacle — "You'll see another
blow at the integrity of the states.’*
said a Senator discussing the East-
man railroad plan "I confess X
don’t see how airplane commerce
can be regulated without wiping out
state powers — and yet Congress has
no power to control transportation
within a state unless it affects In-
terstate commerce.
“Bus and truck business within a
state is not interstate commerce—
and yet that business competes with
railroads and complicates federal
rail relief problems.
"Lover court decisions clearly
CELLMATES
foreshadow a Supreme Court decis-
ion that will hold Congress strictly
within interstate control functions.
' This is the obstacle as I see It
which stands in the way of the East-
man plan.”

Bee — Scouts from up Massachu-
setts way say Governor James
Francis Curley has a delayed presi-
dential bee buzzing in his bonnet.
As the report comes in. Curley
figures to step into Marcus Cool
ldgea Senate seat m 1936 and then
be very much available to the Dem-
ocratic Party m 1940.
The erstwhile Boston mayor has

than A1 Smith is something up to

Notes — The 60.000-word report of
the Howell Aviation Comm.ssion
presents an admirable picture of
modern air science here and abroad
. . . Demand for revival of emer-
gency rent control laws in the Dis-
trict of Columbia is made in Con-
gress . . . Foreign envoys who pre-
dicted passage of the World Court
resolution are now explaining mys-
teries of American politics to their

Jury is expected to indict several
Texans for PWA frauds . . . Secre-
tary Ickes seeks an Undersecretary

BRIAN went on. not waiting for j
an answer. “We'll skate up the

the Fulton Bridge. It’s smooth all
the way. they say. And solid—" J
When there was no answer he
turned. “See here." he said
“you re not going to ray you won t

act again when we re just getting
acquainted?"
Gale said. “No—*
“You'd better not." Brian said 1
heartily. “What time shall wc
make it?"
Tue campfire was only a bed of
smokirg embers now. Brian turned
his heel on a half-burned bit of >
drift wood and looked up. Gale
bad moved farther Into the shad-
ows.
She said. "I shouldn’t come—
“Why not?*’
“Because 1 shouldn’t” she told
him.
“Doesn’t sound like a good rea j
son to me. Do you mean yon don t
want to?"
“I didn’t say that”
“Well look here you and I went
to school together didn’t we? j
We're practically old friends. I’ll
bet we know a lot of the same peo-
ple-"
"Yes." she agreed. ”1 suppose we
do. But we re not In school now. !
I—I can’t stay and talk abont it
any longer. I’aa got to go—”
"Not until you tell ma when I’na
going to aee you again. What am
l to do? You won’t talk to me at
the mill. You won't let me walk
home with you. Can I come to

“No." she said quickly. "Ob. no.

"The same time as tonight”
"I’ll ha wailing” he assured bar '
Gala stepped out on the lea. She |
said. “It’s only a little way to the
boat house I'd rather you didn't
come with me."
“You're sure you'll be all rightr
“Of course 1 will! Good night.”
“Good night—"
She skated rapidly but It
couldn’t nave been the exercise that
made her cheeks glow so warmly
and set her pulse to pounding. It
couldn't have been the exercise
that put the star-shine in the gray
eyes.
T^HE lamp In the living room was

front walk. She let herself In the
house und her father looked op
from the book he was reading.
"Have a good time?" he asked.
“Yea The Ice waa like glasa"
“Many skating?"
' Quite a few."
She went into the kitchen to dry ;

When she came back she asked.
‘Phil hasn’t come in yet?”
“No."
Gale returned to the kitchen. A
few m.*jutes later she was back .
“I think I'll go to bed." she said
"Is there anything you want?"
Her father shook his head. “Gc
on and get your sleep." he said
"I’ll read a little longer. Maybe
Phil will come—“
Gale turned into the little box-
like bedroom. She slipped out of
her clothing and pulled a gown
over her bead. Then she stood
before the square old-fashioned
mirror and brushed her hair. Fifty
strokes on either side. Presently
she put out tbe light and crept be-
tween the covers.
But it was a long time before
sleep came. Over and over Gale
told herself. “There can’t be any j
harm in it—Just going skating. I '
won’t do It again of course. Bat
just this once! He isn’t a bit like
people think. He isn’t a snob and
be doesn’t put on aira. He’s been

the things I want to sec. and he’s
fun to talk to. It’s silly to make

They were perfectly good argn
menu but they couldn't quite si-
lence tbe clear small voice that ob-
jected. “You shouldn’t have done
it; you know you shouldn’t bare

Gale was out ot bed lu an instant
rummaging for her slippers. She
caught up an old flannel dressing
robe and threw It around her.
"What's happened?" she demand-
ed. “Is It—"
“I don't know exactly." Phil told
her. “He hasn't erer been like
this before. He says he can't get

Gale wasn’t listening. She flew
down the hall to the front bed-
room. “Father" she said “what

The big man. lying in the bed
gasped hoarsely. “I—cant—

Gale was down on her knees be-

wheezing sound came. “Can't—get

peated. “Here—" He put his band
