POPULAR TIPPLE OF MExICANS IS
 KNOWN AS PULQUE
Made From Maguey Plant Grown for Purpose-For-
 tunes in Industry.

San Luis Potosi, Mexico-If Pres tdent Venutiano Carranza succeeds in his plans for abolishing the sale and drining of pulque, which is a product of the maguey plant, he will bring bankruptcy to many wealthy men who have built up big fortunes in this industry. There are large areas of land in the vicinity of the City of Mexico that are exclusively devoted to maguey plantations
 It is said that in no other country in the world is the maguey plant commercialized for the production of liquor that quickly turns into an in toxicant. In the portions of the States of Mexico, Hidago, Puebla. Morelos and Quedetao its cultivation is most important industry, for there are many States almost wholly given up to it and the extraction from it of the beverage known as pulque A land owner whose estate is propitious for this culture gives it the preference. for, without much labor and expense, and without hav- ing to employ much help, it yields profits which are considerably in ex- cess of the profits arising from the cultivation of cereals.
 In the Federal District a great quantity of pulque is consumed es- pecially by the populace, who spend the greater part of their wages upon 1t, but even in the best of families pulque is served at table, side by side with the choicest wines.
 A few years ago the consumption in the Federal Dictrict assumed such proportions that the authorities found 1t necessary to restrict the hours of it's sale. It had been noticed. in fact, that if, owing to any circumstance the supply of pulque was curtaiIed. there was a noteworthy diminution in crime
 Hence if was argued that any measure tending to reduce the con- sumption of pulque would be at tended with a decrease in crime

, impossible to get at them with ice to preserve their contents.
 Attempts to preserve trainloads of bananas by re-icing were brought to a standstiIl by striking steam line em- ployes who ordered the express em- ployes away from the cars. Train loads of sheep and other livestock were left to perish in the yards. the crews refusing to touch them, and were saved only through the energetic action of the master mechanic of the South Pacific Company.
 Passenger trains have been re- peatedly made up in the Los Angeles stations and after the tickets had been sold and the passengers were pre- pared to go the crews. or some sec tion of them, have abandoned the trains. In some other cases trains were abandoned outside of the city, leaving women and children in the darkness to find their way the best they could to shelter.
 The United tSates mail service has been almost completely interrupted but with the cooperation of the local suburban electric line it is being handled through the four counties of which Los Angeles Is the metrop- olis, and the mail service to the north is being maintained through Los Angeles harbor

 Indignation runs high throughout the city and southern California Ir quarters frequently well informed the suggestion is heard that the brother hoods have seized this opportunity to demonstrate whether they are cfr railroads if the Plumb plan does no pass Congress, and that the brother hood chiefs are at least not seriously discouraging the strike movement. be cause if the United States Railroad Administration should yield and pla cate the strikers, then, the brother hoods would feel they had power enough to obtain by force whatever control they desire.

STRIKE TIES UP
 TRAIN SERVICE

Action of Rilroad Men May Be Move to Show They

Los Angeles. Aug. 26.-Steam rail- roads failed to move trains out of Los Angeles because of the strike of switchmen and brakemen in sym rathy with the strike of trainmen of the Pacific Electric Railway Com pany, an interurban line, despite the orders of the officials of the four big railroad brotherhoods.
 It was estimated mail accumula te d at the stations exceeded twenty-five carloads. Postal authorities were making plans for handling mail by automobile and boat to points outside the strike zone.
 Perishable freight. principally food stuffs, valued at s3OO, 900, was said to be spelling in railway yards, but com mission men said fears of shortas-s; of food and other essentials were groundless.
 Fifty strike breakers on their way to Los Angeles to work in the rail- road yards and man street cars were taken from an overland train at Las Vegas, according to reports received here.
 No Strike Warning.
 The strike of the steam lines was without warning and hundreds of cars of pertshable freight are decaving on side tracks The Pacific Fruit Express Company's representatives report that in nearly every instance trains have been left In the midd1a of yards or at stations where it is either difficult or

FORTY PLANS SUBMITTED
 FOR LEAGUE Ot NATIONS

Paris, Jan. 15.-(By The Associat- ed Press. )-Nearly forty different plans for a League of Nations are now before the American delegates. Each has points of merit, but many contain sections directly at variance with the ideas forming the basis of the other scenes.
 So far as they have expressed them selves, the Americans, after pains taking examination, which is still in progress, find nothing, it is declared, which endangers any American ideals, such as the Monroe doctrine, for in- stance.
 One point upon which the Ameri- cans will insist, it is understood, is that whatever project is adopted, it shall be included in the treaty which officially terminates the world war.

 There is no moral to this story. It is not Armenian propaganda. It's just the funny little tale of the kid who had five dollars to spend, and the birds who had dollar and a half to contribute.
