Mexican Congress Passes
Law on Petroleum
tAssociated Press correspomdence.)

(ASS0cidted Press C0rreSp0ndence.)
MEXICO CITY, July 15-Although
the Mexican congress was called in
to extraordinary session on May 1
for the purpose of passing, among
others, a petroleum law that would
carry out the provisions of Article .27
of the new constitution, which ma
tionalizes oil lands, up to the present
time the question has not been
brought up for discussion in either
the senate or the chamber of depu-
ties.
Ell Democratic states that the two
petroleum commissions appointed by
the lower house are considering the
objection raised by the foreign oil in
-~terests that Article 27 is in direct OPP
position to Article IA of the consti-
tuition, which prohibits retroactive
legislation.
Unofficial reports are to the effect
that President Carranza has washed
his hands of the matter and has put
1t up tt congress to n q solution.
If this theory is based on fact, &C
cording to a high officer Of an Amer
lean oil corporation here, the pro-
longed delay of congress in taking up
the oil question would indicate that
its leaders are, having a difficult time
to reconcile the provisions OF the
constitution.

QUAINT OLD FINNISH TOWN
Everything In Borga Seems to Go
Back to About the Earliest
Period of History.

The first glimpse of Borga from the
water is a cluster Of old wooden build
ings carelessly assembled along the
skyline. You gather that the town Is
red, owing to the bulky, crimson-paint-
ed packhouses in the foreground, but
upon climbing up the steep, cobble-
stoned street to the town, you change
your mind, and decide that 1t is going
to be yellow. For all the funny, old
fashioned houses are painted that
color. A little farther on. however, 1t
comes upon you suddenly that Borga
possesses a color scheme-that all the
red and yellow Is just a background
for the splendid, solemn grayness of
Its ancient cathedral, which complete
ly dominates the town from the depths
Of a walled courtyard of the type that
was popular in the early fifteenth GEN.
fury.
Borga began about thirteen hundred
and something, and must have reached
Its height about the seventeenth CEN
fury, for 1t contains very little of a
later date than that. The cathedral
contains nothing more modern than an
organ, for example. Its white and
gold pulpit was carved in the sixteenth
century, and Its wall sconces and Won
derful crystal chandeliers are CEN
turtles old. Other Finnish towns have
replaced their marvellous chandeliers
with less beautiful but more practical
fixtures of the current century, but
Borga proudly upholds the past. The
Borga cathedral still measures time by
means of a quaint old h%ourglass filed
with sand.
1t was in this cathedral that the en-
peror of Russia, Alexander |, received
the oaths of allegiance of the newly
conquered Firms, q few days after he
! had signed the constitution which gave
them their freedom. The house In
which the constitution was signed-a
modest, little, frame structure with
| old-fashioned, blue-painted blinds-is
also pointed out with reverence to the
traveller, and If you are duly sympa-
thetic, the Borgans will then lead you
up to the site of an old fortress re-
ported to date back 10 an obscure
period, even before the cathedral,
when the Films were heathens. 1t
must be admitted that this site Is any
thing but impressive now There are
some peculiar bitches, which, one Is
assured, are meats, and several barb
wire fences which are supposed to in
close the ancient and venerable en-
~battlements. Nevertheless, the place
must have atmosphere, if you can only
end it, for 1t was here that Walter
| Runeberg, the great Finnish poet, used
TO find the inspiration for so many of
his splendid songs.

u. S. Movies for Mexico

(Associdted Press Correspondence
MEXICO CITY, July 18.-American
moving films are increasing in popu-
larity here. Until eighteen months
ago European pictures were favored
by the public which had acquired a
taste for French and Italian produc-
tons. OF late, however. American
manufacturers have put their pro-
ducts to the fore in the republic and
their films are to be found in vir-
tually all picture houses, in many OF
them d~isplacing altogether the
European films.
Evidence that the United States
manufacturers intend to expand their
field, here Is the fact that within the
past few weeks three of the leading
companies established offices in Next

branches in Vera Cruz. G~uadalajara

THANKS THE TELEGRAPH

We want to express our gratifi-
cation and appreciation at the gra-
cious compliment paid us by the
Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraph. In re-
printing part of an address deliver
ed by Harry b. Haverstick at a meet
ing of the Lancaster Florists Club,
and published in The Exchange of
March 1. 1t says:
ANY compliment regarding floral
decoration from the New York Flor
lists Exchange, the leading medium
of the florist industry in the United
States, is a compliment indeed. A
writer in this magazine, who has
recently been in Harrisburg with
his eyes open, makes a pleasant
reference to the famous window
boxes of 1.-THE Telegraph Building in
the following extract, and also de-
scribes the beautiful lawns and
shrubbery at Hershey"
Incidentally, the fact that the
Telegraph came across this refer
ence to it's good taste and commend
able activity along lines of commun-
ity Identification is an illustration of
the fact that the reading of trade
iournals-of which The Exchange
likes to consider itself worthy rep
resentative-is not always restricted
to members of a trade or business
with narrowly circumscribed inter
ests. The significance of this should
not be overlooked by prospective
contributors or by potential adver-
tisers either,

PROSPECT

To taste
Wild wine of mountain-sp spring,
fresh, living, strong,
Running and rushing like tri-
umph song,
Round hearts new braced:
To smell
A growing cowslip, some glad
morn of Spring,
And breathe the breath of every
fragrant thing
From every bell:
To touch
A sliding wavelet, supple, smooth
and thin,-
Just ere the pois'd and perfect
crests begin
To bend too much:
To hear
Amid May twilight, by the MUIR
muring sea,
Some blackbird warbling from a
budded tree,
Tender and clear:
To see
Down young rose-petals how the
deepening light
Glides gradually, till, somewhere
out of sight,
What light must be! -.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

LEADING magazine recently
Y published a photograph of
4 y the l04 years old son of for
mer President of the United states,
sitting on the veranda of the little
Florida houseboat he calls home.
1t was interesting because of the
mans unusual age, and because Oh
the fact that a Presidents son could
live so long among us, known only
to his immediate neighbors.
On another page of the same issue
was an even more entertaining PIC
ture-that of former bad boy Oh
a New England manufacturing town,
who through the softening pro-
cesses of a boys club had been IN
structed in the ways of thrift ana
who, although still below voting age
has built up for himself profitable
and growing business in plant de-
yelopment. If he keeps on as ne
has begun, he will be independent
before he is thirty.
What a country of contrasts and
opportunities. Here we nave
young man starting out in the world
supported by ample means and with
the prestige of famous father
ending his days obscurely, never
having been able to so focus public
attention on himself as to win that
distinction which such a promising
beginning might have made so easy
and, on the other hand, a lad of for
eign birth. born in poverty, reared IN
the back streets, striking out for
himself and making his mark before
having attained his majority.
Truly there is not much in a name,
save what it's possessor makes of it.
There is no aristocracy in America,
EXCEPT that of brains and energy.
The millionaire of to-day may be
the pauper of tomorrow, and 1T is
lust as true that the pauper of to-
day may be the independently
wealthy man of tomorrow. What's
in a name? Better ask, what's in
n man?
