though there are portions of the build

date, and may possibly have formed
part of the original building erected in
1929. Beneath the wing which forms
the southern extremity of the building

gloomy looking cells that are to be
seen anywhere. They are approached
from an area by going down steps and

many more years. Senor Limontour Is
comparatively a young man and has
for long time been closely associated
with the Diaz government. He is also
a thorough believer in the so-called
Diaz policy, which is that of affording
every protection and encouragement to
foreign investors in Mexico. The
strength and permanency of President
Diaz's government is largely due to the
fact that he has always had the sup
port Of the foreign interests, which are
enormous, and the same support will,
doubtless, be given Senior Limonour
while he occupies the position of chief
power. Senior Limontour is also ex-
tremely popular with the people Of
Mexico. A short time ago he visited
all principal cities of the republic and
was everywhere received with great de-
monstrations of pleasure. When he
took the place of minister of finance he
sacrificed large private interests and
has ever since devoted himself to keep
ing the financial and banking interests
of the country on sound and conser-
vative basis.

The advantages that fall to the lot
of man whose surname occurs early
In an alphabetical list are well known.
As a candidate for Office upon an Aus
tralian ballot, for example. man
named Abbot has a far better chance
than the most eminent Zweigler. But
the benefit that comes from the pos
session of a short name has not here
tofore been generally recognized. Not
long ago the promotion of one of the
auditors of the Treasury department
at Washington created a vacancy to
which, upon formal recommendation
to that effect, the candidate having
the shortest name, being also a COM
petent man, was appointed. His chief
duty is to affix his signature to ac-
counts, and as he needs TO make but
six letters in signing, he can do twice
as much in a day as a man whose
name contains twelve letters.
