Some of the newspapers of the MeXi-
ian capital have taken up an agitation
for a reform In the business hourM
Heretofore 1t has been the custom to
close all shops and offices absolutely
between the hours of and 2 30 or 8
o'clock In the afternoon. Some of the
foreign stores have attempted to get
away from this system, but the small
amount Of trade gained by thus doing
away with the ancient "siesta" hour
tnow largely tradition In the capital)
was not enough to pay for the trouble.
The noon rest hour Is a reasonable
one In the tropics. where 1t is always q
period of dullness and unusual heat
but there Is also the other side, In that
the long hour suggests a heavy noon
meal, which in the tropics more than
anywhere else Is unreasonable. hut
the principal opposition to the noon
rest hour Is the consequent lengthenins
Of the working hours Into the evening.
SO that stores and Offices never Gloss
before O'Clock. and often not before
g. This throws the evenings recreation
INTO the night SO that no theater can
begin a performance before S:45 at The
very earliest, and the time Of recrea-
, ton Is heightened Into an "all night
seance."
