TIE FISH AND OYSTER
La W.

Some citizens residing on the
coast are reported as having
petitioned the legislature to
repeal the Mitchell fish and
oyster law, claiming that it
brings no revenue 10 the state
and only makes a salsry for a
fish and oyster commissioner.
There has scarcely been suf-
fieient time since the enactment
of The law to test it thoroughly,
and this. if no other consider
alton, shonld cause the legisla
ture to refuse these petition i.
The trainers of the law did not
expect that it would produce
much revenue at first, its pri-
mary object being the protec-
ton of the fish and oyster in
dnstries on the Texas coast.
which were fast being destroy
ed If properly enforced, the
Mitchell law must accomplish
this, and furthermore it must
build mp thcse industries to
their former importance. Laws
of the same tenor in other coast
states have resulted most sue
cessfully. Besides. umber Of
citizens have staked oyster
claims under he new law, and
it is but just that these should
have the protection promised

law must prove a blessing to
The Texas coast, building up its
fish and oyster industries to a
magnitude which will equal the
other important industrial in

able folks a new playtfing
with which to anause thensel
yes. 1t is in literal obedience
to the Biblical injunction re
garding a lamp unto the feet,
for that is exactly where the
new light is to be worn. 1t
consists of a tiny lantern with
sides of very stout glass,
mounted upon a stirrup which
straddles the foot of the user,
a tongue resting on the toe of
the foot, and acting as a part
of the support.
This queer idea has taken
strong hold upon the minds
of the smart set, and as a re
suit has sprung into instant
favor. 1t is particularly valua
bic to persons who are given
to walking about in places
where roads and sidewalks are
not well kept, for in such cases
there are always holes of va
rious dimensions and in I'm
expected places. in which the
pedestrian is sure to trip up if
he is not exceedingly careful.
There are several means of
furnishing light for this curious
lamp. Electricity and oil are
the most common. The form
er is likely to be the most pc
pular method, from the fact
that there is no danger of
grease leaking out upon the
shoe. A tiny storage battery
has been constructed to be
used in furnishing the light.
1t is ordinarily carried in the
pocket and a flexible wire,
insulated and covered with
skin, passes from the
battery and through the pocket
down to the lamp upon the
foot. In this way a bright
light is secured, the little bat
terry furnishing sufficient cleo
tricity for a walk of half a
dozen hours.
It's also a great convenience.
in horseback riding at night,

the lamp of the battery. An
equestrian parade has been
planned, to be given before
long at one of the winter re
sorts near New York, in which
every participant will have a!
lamp attached to each foot.
The projectors of this parade
believe that an effect will be
produced such as has never
been witnessed before.
1t is very odd sight to see a
lantern club tramping about
the country roads on a dark
with a lamp on the
foot of each member. They
look like company of giant

THE WHARF AT
VERA CRUZ.
For Four Hundred Years this
City Founded by Cortez,
has Been Mexico's
Principal Seaport

Modern Mexico presents this
month a fine view of the wharf
at Vera Cruz. For nearly 4oo
years this city has been the
principal seaport Of Mexico.
Ships drop anehos just below
the island of San Juan de Ulua
and the landing is made by
lighter and small boats.
Juan de Griialva, who was
sent out by Velasquez, govern
or of Cuba, in 1913. landed on
the island of San Juan de Ulua.
The result of his trading was
SO good and his report Of the
country SO promising'that We
lasquez at once began fitting
out another expedition for the
conquest of the newly discover
ed land. The command OF this
expedition was given to Her
nando Cortez, then 81 years
old. Before the preparation of
the force was complete, Velas-
quez determined to remove
Cortez from his command. and
this factEbeing discovered by
Cortez, he sailed hurriedly and
secretly in the night from San
tiago de Cuba, November IS,
1913. He spent several months
rehttlng his fleet at different
Cuban ports, and finally sailed
for Mexico. On April 81,
1919, Good Friday, he landed
at Vera Cruz. And because
his landing was made on that
day and because the accounts
were good CT gold in that land,
he gave to the town that he
then founded the name of the
Villa RIGA de la Santa Vera
Cruz-"The Rich City of the
Holy True Cross. There was
no harbor for the safe riding
of vessels, and after the con-
queror had established himself
IN the interior he sent an ex-
peditior down the coast and
found the harbor of Coatza-
coalcos, the present terminus
of the Tehuantepec route on
the Gulf. But this did not af-
feet the importance of Vera
Cruz 1t was SO much nearer
the richer districts of the inter
Tor that it remained the sea-
port of Mexico.
Vera Cruz is reached from
the interior by the Mexican
and Interoceanic railways. 1t
