modern MeXico's first emperor, Augustine de
Iturbide. This man was the commander of the
viceroy's forces; but he was ambitious, and so
he joined the revolutionists, helping them to
throw off the yoke of Spain. For this he was
crowned emperor of Mexico on July rs, 1922.
His reign short, for he soon became I'M
popular, and on March 20, 1928 he abdicated
and sailed for Europe.
Mexico is a land of churches; and over the
ruins of one of the greatest pagan temples of
the New World stands magnificent place OF
worship of the Christian religion. There, where
the great Aztec temple that was destroyed by
Cortez once stood, is now the beautiful Ca
thedral Of Mexico. The cost of its construction
was about 100000.
The front is surmounted by two beautiful
towers, about two hundred feet high, from
which excellent view of the city, with its
picturesque domes and great buildings, may
be had; while the Valley of Mexico, famed
the world over for it's beauty, stretches out
like a great panorama The famous Lake

The cathedral is never closed. Night and

open, and every one, from the poorest beggar
in the land to the richest man, is welcome.
There, within the walls of this beautiful pal
ace of religion, they all gather. rich and poor,
aristocrat and peon, to receive the bishops
blessing.
On the east side of the Plaza Mayor is the
National palace, which was started in 1892.
This is the seat Of the national government,
and within its walls the laws which govern the
people of Mexico are made. 1t is on the
grounds where once stood the palace of Axaya-
catl, emperor of the Aztecs.
Just beyond the palace. on the Gale de Mo-
media, is the National museum. This place is
a wonderful treasure house of Aztec resvs, and

The National Association for the

Cross in handling the sale of Red
Cross seals. A new national office has
been opened in Washington, and an
initial order has been placed for 3d.

that double that number will be sold.
The charge to local agents for the
seals will be 1871 per cent. of the gross
proceeds, the national agent furnish
ing the seals and advertising material,
and taking back all unsold seals at the
end of the season. Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock has approved Of the de-
sign of the seal. Owing to the fact
that many people last year used Red
Cross seals for postage, the post office
department has given orders that let
tiers or packages bearing seals on the
face will not be carried through the
mails.

Cement T ak No. 7

Newspapers print near
ly every day the story Of
some fire disaster involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and
sometimes the loss of human
lives. The annual fire losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of property was wiped out by fire in
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent FIRE and fire
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in fling, non freprOof
building contraction. Experience has proved
that freproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries freproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come to the front as the most
important agent in building against fire. The
use of cement in building is becoming more
and more common, due to its freproofnesS,
durability and economy. When building any
thing from the back porch steps to an Office
building, concrete construction may be safely
adopted. The use of UniVeryaI Portland
Cement in the concrete will insure cement of the
best quality possible to manufacture. UHfUvr-
sal is handled everywhere by the best dealers.

History says that about 1926 a band of Aztecs
was travelling through the Valley of Mexico
For nearly six hundred years these people had
been wanderers on the face of the earth and
during all those centuries they had been
searching for the promised land-a place to
build new home Their priests had taught
them that when they saw royal eagle with a
snake in its talons alight upon prickly pear
cactus, that would be a sign that there was the
place for them to build city And as they
were wandering through this valley they be-
held a royal eagle, perched upon a cactus,
holding serpent. This is the origin of the
Mexican national emblem of today. Accord
lngly they stopped, Tor they nrmly believed
that their long journey was ended. On an
island in Lake Texcoco they built city which
they called Tenochtitlan and this is where the
City of Mexico now stands.
Considering the centuries that they had been
homeless, the reign OF the AZtecs over this fair
land was short, for in 1919 Cortez landed in
Mexico Then began one of the most remark
able campaigns in all history. The great con-
querer commenced his famous march to the
Aztec capital lighting battle after battle. and
defeating hordes of savages On November
s, 1919, Cortez entered Tenochtitlan with his
pttle army and was welcomed by MonteZuma
II. The Spaniards collected a great amount OF
gold and other valuables which they were COM
PEELED to leave, for on July 1. 1920. they were
driven from the city. However, In August
1921, they returned, besieged the place, and on
the 18th they were again victorious; and the
reign Of the Aztecs came to an end forever.
But the great treasures that had been left be-
hind by the conquerors had disappeared.
