London Air Is Full or
 Sound Of Wedding Bells
By LADY MARY

London, March 15.-London is beginning to have quite a springlike air about it. and the result is a feeling of cheerful ness that almost manages to hide much of the labor unrest, the coal shortage and the various other national and political troubles that are besetting us at pres ent.
 The air is full of wedding bells, and 1t is said that more marriages occurred in London during the last week of February than have taken place during any other week for long while. By the time you are reading this letter, Princess Pa- tricia's marriage will be matter of more or less ancient history, but as l am writ ing now everybody who is anybody is feverishiy rushing off to Clarence House Ito view the wedding presents and to have fsea with the royal bride.
 '' I am sure it would interest," Americans to see how business-like and practical are the arrangements for this marriage of the Kings first cousin to Commander the Hon. Alexander Ramsay. On arrival at Clarence House each guest is present ed with heavy printed list or wedding presents that cover IS pages Of quarto- size paper The list commences with presents from the roya family. their maiesties' gifts being set down as two canteens of silver These useful and very beautiful gifts include every pos sible kind of dish and utensil, knlves, forks. spoons. etc.. for household use. Queen Alexandra has given here pretty niece two wonderful Indian shawls, that came, I believe, from Queen Victoria s collection, as well as diamond pin and a big silver tea and coffee service, while the Duke of Connaughts present to his daughter is complete set of dozens of beautifully embroidered household and table linens that have been specially made in Ireland. The King of Spain sent over some very fine specimens of old Spanish furniture, while his consorts s contribution is huge fan of exquisite Spanish lace with finely carved sticks inlaid with precious stones. The Elm press Eugenie sent Princess Pat Louis Seize armchair and pair of small chairs of the same period, while King Manuel and Queen Augusta Victoria weighed in with a silver guest bowl and stand. Queen Amelie's gift, two cups and a plated egg stand" does not sound par ticularly regal, but then the King and Queen of Norway were content with send ing gold and enamel coffee spoons to their cousin, while the Duchess of Al

Ventilation.

The mayor of Terre Haute the other day appointed number of the city schOOlma' 'ams to do special police duty, such as 10 seeing to the ventilating of stores. etc., says the Indianapolis News. Miss Margaret Kilroy, high school teacher, being one of those ap- pointed, visited a number of stores. In one the manager became indignant as she explained the necessity of his do ing more ventila tiOn. Why, it's very warm here" she complained, unbutt ton ing her coat and revealing a georgetIe crepe waist.
 "Ventilating doesn't have anything to do with it," protested the man. "Why. 99 per cent of the cases of flu in this country have been caused by the wearing of georgette crepe waists"
 He was actually ready to smile when back came Miss Kilroy's cool re- joinder: "I suppose that explains the great number of cases in the United States army, then"

Oil Resources
Of Mexico Are
Hardly Touched
Famous Fields Capable Of
Producing Nine Times
Present Output.

Mexico City. Sept 1s.-CCorrespond-
ence Of the Associated Press THE
vast petroleum deposits in Mexico
veritable rivers Of gold to their
owners, have within the past few
years attracted the attention of the
world; first because their exhaustless
supplies filled a demand in the COM
merciaI world which was emphasized
during the war, and secondly, because
Of late they have formed one of the
most fruitful sources OF misunder-
standing between the governments Of
Mexico and the United States.
The development Of this industry by
foreign capital has reached the point
where dividends are declared in mil
lions Of dollars and production runs
into millions OF barrels.
Legislation designed by the Mexican
government to divert what il terms
its just share Of profit into the ma
tional treasury has been met by
charges Of eonfiscation on the part Of
the foreign interests whose opposition
has become so vigorous that president
Carranza recently stated in an inter
view that the petroleum companies
were deliberately engendering i'll feel
ing between the United States and
Mexico.
Industry Is Years Old.
Exploitation OF petroleum in Mexico
for commercial purposes is confined
to the past IS years. according to a
statement recently furnished to the
Associated Press by the department Of
commerce and industry.
Exploration OF the oil fields began
about 1900 and has been conducted
since by the Mexican Petroleum COM
pany Of California. the British firm Of
Pearson & Son. the Huasteca Petro-
leum company. the East Oil company.
the OIL company Of Tepetate and
others.
Vessels now available to convey
Mexican oil have approximately 700
600 tons capacity and are worth $50
100000. In addition II is stated that
the value OF pipe lines IS estimated at
so 100000 and storage depots at $50
0OO.o coo. bringing the total OF such in
vestment to $500, 600. 600 The pipe
line system is IS miles long and the
steel tanks for the storage OF oil
have capacity Of 100000 barrels.
Commenting upon these figures the
statement says that "the Mexican oil
industry has not yet equaled the Amer
.can because the lack OF means Of
transportation and Of storing are not
equal TO the production OF the oil
ands-' II is asserted that the poten-
.ial production OF the fields is nine
old greater than that registered at
he present time.
