He referred specifically to alleged injustices in the United States ,practiced against Mexicans, in which Americans asserted the Mexi- can Government was incapable and unwilling to protect the lives of foreigners.
 Carranza asserted that Mex leo did not ask for admission to the League of Nations, be- cause the League did not estab-. fish the rule of equality for all nations and races.
 The Mexican President reiter- ated that Mexico did not and would not recognize the Monroe :. .Doctrinesa He said the Govern ment was willing to conciliate regarding oil lands now con- troled by foreigners, so far as Legislation relating to them was concerned, but that the nation was not willing to sacrifice it's sovereignty.

TWELVE QUILTS TO
PEOPLE OF BELGIUM
Tuesdays Daily Herald

The ladies of the Spring Hill branch,
A. r. c., have just shipped to the COM
mission for relief of Belgium at New
ark, n. j., twelve quilts.
These quilts represent new ele-
ment in conservation, as they were
made from material that otherwise
would have been useless, and were
made at an expense of less than $40;
worth approximately $1,000.
Six tops were given, one by Miss
Rose Odil, one by Mrs. E. II. Ayres,
Sr., one by Miss Nora Odil and six
by Mrs. Fount Rice, one of them con-
tributed by Mrs. Rice was made by
her when small child and contain
ed 4,095 pieces.
The other six tops were pieced by
the ladies from scraps which are to be
found in every household, two being
made entirely by Mrs. ]. Brice Martin,
one by Mrs. George Campbell and one
by Mrs. Wash RuSsells family. Three
quilts were lined with some scrim cur
tains which had served their purpose,
one was lined with cambria bed
spread of other days, The cotton with
which all were padded was scraps left
from surgical dressings. Nothing has
given more pleasure in the work room
than these cuttings
This work for the Belgian relief was
in charge of Mrs. j. Brice Martin UNI
der whose able leadership the ladies
of Spring Hill have worked most faith
fully. Could anything be more inspir.
ing than to help refurnish these Bel
gian homes?

Iustry Having Ceased Many Would
Like to Perpetuate Its Reform BY
State Law.

There will be a meeting in Nash
vile on next Monday of the produce
dealers of the state for the purpose
of considering a bill to be introduc-
ed in the legislature embodying many
of the provisions controlling the mar
keting of poultry and eggs promul-
gated last year by the United States
Food Administration
The Food Administration having
ceased to function many Of the lead
ing produce men of the state are
anxious that its wise and wholesome
regulations of the industry should be
continued. This can be done only
through the enactment of legislation
by the state. Not all dealers are
agreed that this would be the best
policy, but unquestionably there is a
strong sentiment behind the move.
ment
1t is claimed that as result of the
egg Gambling regulations of the Food
Administration thousands of dollars
were saved to the people of the
state. Tennessee eggs sold all dur
ing the summer at premium because
of the enforcement of this provision.
Practically no rotten eggs came to
market, the farmers gathering the
eggs every day and understanding that
they would be sold on a graded basis,
marketed them when fresh. 1t is fear
ed that with return to old condi-
tons there would be great losses
again entailed.
1t is proposed by the dealers behind
the measure, to require all produce
dealers to be licensed by the state
after the manner in which they were
licensed by the Food Administration
Unless they followed the regulations
outlined their licenses would then be
revoked. There would of necessity
have to be force of inspectors pro-
Yided for the enforcement of the law
as there would be no machinery
available like that which the Food
Administration employed. 1t cost
practically nothing to enforce the
regulations under the Food Admins
tration because of the voluntary or
ganization built up on the patriotism
of the people. This would not be the
case now.
