BRITISH LIQUOR TRADE WANTS RESPECTABILITY
 FOR PUBLIC HOUSES

LONDON, Aug. 21 Correspondence of Associated Press) Better public houses, an improved tone for saloons, is the newly-announced policy of the British liquor trade.
 Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, a member of parliament, who was re- gently elected to the directorate of one of the leading brewing companies of the kingdom, said that representa- tives of all sections of the trade had drawn up a bill embodying such principles as promotion of sobriety, restriction of drunkenness, reduction of the number of licenses where they are excessive, and enlargement of premises so as to provide greater opportunities for social amenities.

LAPS MAKING SURYEYSFOR
 MEXICAN OIL

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 23 (by maiD The department of industry and commerce denies emphatically that Japanese interests have acquired any petroleum holdings in Mexico, but says parties of Japanese geologists have visited the republic recently on a tour of exploration and have located oil deposits on the Pacific coast.
 The departmental denial came as the result of stories emanating from the United States that Japanese cap italists were negotiating for the trans fer of large petroleum holdings in the Tampico district.
 Fl Monitor recently interviewed a Japanese, R. E. Douari, who was sent to be a member of the oriental ex- ploration party. He asserted that the Pacific coast had been thoroughly covered in the search for oil and that large deposits of the latter had been found. He also asserted that Japan needs Mexican oil for commercial pur poses and will attempt to acquire that product, but it has no intention of buying leases, developed or unde- veloped, on the Atlantic coast.

FIERCE HATRED RULES
 TWO MEXICAN TOWNS

PRESIDIO, Texas, Sept. 23 (by As sOciated Press) Bitter as the fued between Athens and Sparta is that which has existed for years between Couchillo Parade and COyame, two Chihuahua towns that figured in the news recently during the latest puni- tive expedition into Mexico.
 The quarrel between the two com muties arose many years ago over the question of boundaries. At first there was bloodshed; now there is merely smouldering hatred, which is kept alive largely because Chuchillo Parade favors Villa and Coyame is strongly federal in it's sympathies.
 "Chuchillo Parade is a city of widows and orphans" said Cesme Bengoechea, Mexican consul at Pre- sidio, commenting upon the strong ill feeling that prevails between the two places. "So many men have been slain in battle that there are few males of fighting age left.
 ''The present official name of the town is 'Twenty-ffth of March, in commemoration of a battle fought there between the Mexicans and the French on that date in the year 1862. The name of the town was changed by the Mexican government because 'Chuchillo Parado'-'upright knife had an unpleasant ring to it. The natives of the place, however, con- tinue to use the descriptive name, which originates from the peculiar sharpness of the mountain ridges in the region"
