REBELS DO NOT
WORRY HUERTA
Is In Better Health Than When He
Took Mexican Presidency

Mexico city, March 2S.-After year
in office General Iiuerta appears i'm
better health than when ne undertook
the presidency. The difficulties ne
has encountered have left no stamp
upon his features. Six months ago
some Of his friends and most of his
enemies predicted early physical coll
lapse and there were some who would
not have been surprised had his intel
lect suffered as the result of the enor-
nous odds.
Take things as they come" seems
Ia have been the lifelong philosophy
of Huerta, tempered always, however,
with the belief that all things come t.
him who waits, especially to him who
waits for and seizes the big opporu-
nifty. Worrying has never been one OF
Huertas failings. Nor is he creature
Of routine. Regularity does not char
acterize his methods. lie does his
work when and where II suits his con
venience and all members of his ohi-
cial family, the public, and his private
family as well have To Yield
A Man Of Many Whims.
Long ago he tired OF the regular cab
met meetings and announced that
conferences with his ministers would
take place whenever ne summoned
them. and there would be no place re-
pardcd as sacred To that ceremony.
And so it has come about that ques-
tions Of the greatest import are as like
N 1t
as in the National Palace and not at
all infrequently he sends word tn his
ministers suddenly that he would like
Ia meet them that very morning in
the woods about Chapultepec castle
10 the famous and ancient park in
which the castle is located ne drives
in his automobile. His ministers, also
arriving in their ears, wonder i'm just
what part the president is going Ia see
them. Their chaufleurs OF aides sight
the presidential car ahead on one of
the many drives ana there begins 4
chase which may com" Ia an end be-
meath one of the great shade trees, or
beside the lake. Ministers and presi-
dent alight. sit ON the benches or walk
along one of the intersecting footpaths
and there talk of affairs which per-
haps are of international importance.
Back of all is the presidents within.
II" may be late. The ministers wait.
He may have altered his mind re-
aarding affairs of state and the min
listers are told To meet him later in the
day or night at his home.
II is not uncommon for the president
To summon his ministers 10 meeting
during the middle OF the night and
cabinet meetings. on what would pass
for cabinet meetings, have taken place

Astronomy His Hobby.
Ilucrta does not indulge in physical
exercise as a means of recreation. lie
derives his recreation in talking as
tronomy with any one who can inter
est him in the subject--and the man
who does must be an eXpert--or in
dining and Visiting with his intimate
friends. The time he retires appears
matter of Indifference as does his
arising in the morning. Usually he IS
up early. The lghtest kind of break
fast, coffee ana rolls, he gets as soon
as he is awake. \ little work, if lie
thinks of anything To do. and then al
most every morning a walk up and
down on the sidewalk in front of his
house i'm the district known as san
Rafael After that more breakfast
and then lot of work He may go To-
the Chaputepec woods or to the M.
tional Palace, but it's just as likely he
will do his mornings work at his
home. summoning To him there all
who may have business with him.
Without much routine, and with exec
utiNe mastery showing all he can onto
ls suhordnates. he ploughs through
the days work until seven or eight
o'clock when he is ready for dinner.
