THIRSTY CITIZENS
UNITED STATES
Who Hope To Find An Aasis In
Mexico May BE Sadly
Disappointed
Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 5-Thirsty
residents of the United States who
hope to find an oasis in Mexico may
be disappointed. A cabinet member
whose influence will be felt in the
drafting Of dry" regulations was re-
Gently quoted in The Excelsior as say
ing that it may be necessary for the
Mexican government to establish .
dry" Zone at least ten kilometers
deep along the entire length of the
United States boundary.
Intimation was also given that the
government is prepared to move i'm
mediately against persons who are re-
ported to be selling liquor to Ameri-
cans, using Mexican territory as their
base of operations.
A question which is said to be Civ
ing officials here much concern is
whether United States brewers and
distillers shall be allowed to transport
their plants, together with their stock
Of goods, to Mexico. No official ac-
ton has been taken on that phase OF
the question.
Prohibition as a nation wide meas.
ure is commencing to attract atten'
ton. General P. Elias Gales, gov
ernor of the state of Sonora, recently
revived several "dry" laws and an
nounced they would be enforced
These regulations provide severe punt
shment for persons convicted of tn
illegal sale of liquor. The Legislature
of the state of Compechs has discus
sed "dry" measures for some tim
but it is improbable drastic actor
will be taken inasmuch as Governo
Joaquin Mucel has asked that instea'
of a "bone dry" law there be enacte'
measures regulating the manufactur
and sale Of intoxicants.

Increased College
Attendance Is Urged

To Teachers and Parents:
The number of educable children in
this state, as shown by the records in
the office of the State Department of
Education, is 791 ,585. The college
registers show less than 5000 students
enrolled in all the colleges Of the
state last year. This 5000 repre-
sents the high school graduates for
the past four years.
When you remember the many ar
guments in favor of a college course
how do you account for the fact that
so few Mississippi boys and girls en-
ter college? If it is due to the course
of study, somebody ought to have the
wisdom to formulate a better one; If
the fault is the character of the teach
ing, either in the public school, the
high school. or the college, somebody
ought to he able to show us how ia
change our method Of teaching; il
the Indifference Of the parents .

enter eollege. somebody ought to b
able to convince them that our chill.

course.
Whatever the cause Of this situa'
ton, I am sure you will agree it must
be removed. We must invoke the ait

enrolment. WILL YOU HELP?
