Aside from International com-
plexities market analysts found
little to cheer about in domestic

Noted was the survey of Dun It
Bradstreet which said a post-
Easter drop in retail sales caused
the business curve to sag a little
this week.
It was pointed out comparisons
with the same calendar week in
1938 were of no especial significance
because of the changed date of
Easter. For the country as a whole
however retail spending was placed
at 3 to 7 per cent under the same
period last year.
Wholesale activities it was added

San Benitan
Decries Try
For Rainfall
Religious Folk Frown
On Act Declares
Col. Hill
_
BAN BENITO — Colonel O W
Hill. San Benito object* to the
Veliev* "rein maker*.’ holding to
the belief that such activities mock
the laws of nature.
His statement follow*:
“Junkm. or no Junkin. it rained In
Cameron County. The writer feels
however that rainmaking of this sort
is sacreligious. In other wrords. he
believes that this sort of rain mak-
ing being done here as well a* Flor-
ida is monkeying with Ood's busi-
ness He believes in prayer and be-
lieve* that pravers are answered
but from the pictures and newspa-
per account* off the rain makers in
Fonda and at Lake Harlingen it
is not recorded where any prayers
were offered up.
• Just wondered if there are not
hundred* of religious people all
over the Valiev who think a* the
wnter doe* While it might be good
advertising to some is in a way
mockery.
When It Rains. It Rains
“We are doing in this countrv
what has been going on in China
tor past 300 years When it rains.
»f just let it rain.
“The writer knows of instances
where practically all of the people
in a drouth stricken community
have earnestly prayed Tor rain and
It did rain They asked the Su-
preme Being the ruler off all
things to send rain believing that
it would come and that God knew
in His wisdom that it was good for
them to have rain but they did not
sit bv a Lake with a pair of high
top boots with their feet cocked up
on a table on which appeared to be
beverage glasses with a pipe in
their hand and mock the law of
God or the law of nature which is
after all God's law.
* It was no doubt a lot of fun and
no doubt perhaps intended for in-
nocent past time but let the rain
makers be aware of the fact that
while this sort of thing miv popu-
larly an Individual or the commun-
ity in the minds rtT some It is re-
sented by thousands of Christian
people all over the country.
' While the writer is not affiliated j
with any church and does not go
about professing Christianity on the
street comers he does believe that
the Giver of All Things is the real
rain maker.
Tf I were to sit at a lake in
Texas or Florida and pretend to be
a ram maker I would leave and go
home before dark Tor fear of the
boogv man.
"It is common to hear people pre-
dict rain with out any plausible rea-
son for their belief.
“There's a law of nature: Lick
the back of vour hand with your
tongue and then hold your hand up
to the air. If the place on your hand
which is wet appears to get quite
cool rather suddenly it is altogether
likely that it will not rain soon but
if on the other hand the place lick-
ed with the tongue does not Teel
cool real suddenly you may safelv
predict ram Manv men like the
writer who have lived among the
Indians knows this The Indians
knew little or nothing about barom-
eters thermometers or about hu-
midity but they were endowed by
nature 'God* to know these things
“The write was raised among the
Pawnee Indians in Nebraska and
he learned manv things which are
no; written in books God taught
his children the Indians manv
things and they did things which
seemed to some uncanny.
“The next time that God sends
us ram so much needed he is not
going to wait for Junkin or any
other individual to park himself be-
side a lake.
“The writer hopes our good friend
Junkin does not take offense at
these remarks for aTter all thev are
th~ sincere thoughts and mental
reactions of a man who believes
that God not man or woman is the
real rain makers.*’

Union in the marble Pan American
building Without naming the ag-
gressor nations or their dictators
but referring to statements recent-
ly made by Hitler and Mussolini
the chief executive stressed the ties
binding Europe and the Americas
His words as if a reply to
advocates of American isolation
were;
The American family of nations
may also rightfully claim now to
speak to the rest of the world. We
have an interest wider than that
of the mere defense of our sea-
ringeci continent We know now
that (he development of the next
generation will so narrow the
oceans separating us from the old
world that our customs and our
actions are necessarily involved
with hera.
• Bevond question within a scant
few years air fleets will cross the
ocean as easily as today they
rrossed the closed European seas
Economic functioning of the world
becomes increasingly a unit; no
interuption of it anywhere ran
fail in the future to disrupt eco-
nomic life everywhere.
Civilization Threatened
‘The past generation in Pan
American matters was concerned
with constructing the principles
and the mechanisms through which
this hemisphere would work to-
gether. But the next generation
will be concerned with the meth-
ods bv which the new world can
live together with the old.
"The Issue Is really whether our
civilization is to be dragged into
the tragic vortex of unending
militarism punctuated by periodic
wars or whether we shall be able
to maintain the ideal of peace
individuality and civilization as the
fabric of our lives. We have the
right to say that there ahall not
be an organization of world af-
fairs which permits us no choice
but to turn our countries into
barracks unless we are to be vas-
sals of some conquering empire.
"The truest defense of the peace
of our hemisphere must always lie
in the hope that our sister nations
beyond the seas will break the
bonds of the ideas which constrain
them toward perpetual warfare By-
example we can at least show them
the possibility. We. too have a
stake in world affairs.**

CHURCH PLANS
SERMON F1RS1
Usual Table Reversed
By Christian Unit
BROWNSVILLE— The congrega-
tion of the Central Christ tan church
here will be getting their • dessert"*
first. Instead of last. st. rting Sun-
dav with a change in the hour of
morning worship
It Is an old established American
custom that Sundav morning ser-
vices start around 11 a m. follow-
ing Sunday school but the Rev W.
D Me Elroy pastor is reversing the
procedure.
Services at the Centra! Christlan
church will be initiated at 9 45 a.
m starting Sunday and Sunday
school or study classes will Tollose
at 10 40 a m.
The Rev. McElrm explained with
a smile Fririav that the early wor-
ship would not onlj fmd the preach-
er fresher but also the congrega-
tion
Observers were of the opinion
too. that the restlessness apparent
in many congregations prtor to din-
ner time can be offset bv early*
morning worship.
A derided and serious an ■ an*as*
in the change mill he the fart that
with services preceding Sunday#
school one can gain added inspira-
tion for Sunday school or study
slasses.
The nursrrv. beginner and pri-
mary departments will meet at 9 4ft
a m at the church and continue
in study worship and graded work
throughout the entire period until
11 to a m.
Sjieaking of the innovation Tor
the children the Rev McElroy said
that 'Thus mpre adequate time will
be available for Christian training
and it will make It possible for the
entire family to attend church ser-
vices”
The Rev McElrov will initiate an
eight-week series ol sermons Sunday
on the parables In keeping with the
occasion and the adage that * ihe
world changerh. yielding forth to
new. ’ the Rev. McElrov mull speak
on The Ever Changing Conflict.”

While he was there an alarm
sounded Cheatham rushed th«
company to answer it—It was hia
