MEX DIPLOMATS CEASE WEARING
 OF GOLD BRAID

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 12 (by Associ- ated Press) Apparel oft may pro- claim the man but no longer will it proclaim the Mexican diplomat, if the recommendations of Miguel Covarru- rubias, secretary of foreign relations, are adopted by the government
 Senor Covarrubias proposes that the ornate, gold-braided uniforms worn by the nations envoys in other times be supplanted by the severely simple frock coats, which constitute the full dress of diplomats representing the United States and other countries
 Besides arguing that Mexico should fall in line with the customs of other countries, advocates of diplomatic dress reform point out that the recon medations of Senor Covarrubias, if adopted, would result in appreciable economies and would help convince IuS WOI lu LndG VACA4CO ID u uIy uCLlAO- cratic.
 In supporting the new government for dress simplification Fl Heraldo de Mexico recalls that during the Car ranza regime a certain Mexican dip lomat, upon presenting his credentials to a fastidious and punctilious Euro pean court, chose not to wear the con- ventional uniform in vogue at that time, but instead he attired himself in flaming frock coat, adorned with a generals epaulets, and wore tri- color band across his shirt front and gilded spurs on his boots. This dip lomat had read somewhere that min ister plenipotentiary held the rank of general and lacking a generals uni form in vogue at that time but in stead he attired himself in a flaming frock coat with what he believed to be the proper martial accoutrements.

DR.. Carleton b. McCulloch, Democratic
candidate for Governor, expressed the
opinion In a letter to Fred Sims, chair
man Of the state Board of Tax Commits
sioners, that. under the circumstances,
he has been exceedingly mild in his
criticism of the tax board.
The letter was written in reply to an
inquiry from Mr.. Sims as to whether
DR.. McCulloch was correctly quoted In
statement crit!cising the tax board.
Mr.. Sims letter follows:
1t was reported to me that you made
the following statement at Newcastle,

You remember in the last story that
little Puss Junior was listening to the
music of Pan, the goat-footed shepherd
boy who played such lovely music on his
flute that all the nymphs gathered about
him to dance Well, after the music
stopped one Of the nymphs asked Puss
to come with her and she would show
him huge tree. 1t was so tall that Its
trunk overtopped all the other trees and
It's leaves were as broad as sails.
And while Puss stood there admiring
1t, Giant came by with an AK In his
hand.
"Ah, this tree Will make me some fine
klndling wood" he roared and his voice
was so loud that all the leaves trembled
and the water from the little stream
spattered over the meadow.
And when the little nymrh heard him
she turned pale with fear, for she was
the spirit of the tree, you see. but Puss
didn't know that, and maybe you don't.
SO that's the reason I'm telling it to you.

begged. for I shall die If you do" But
the Giant only laughed and swung his
great ak.

"Man is headed straight for the

1.-THE little toes Of this generation
are so little because the toe is in the
process Of disappearing and will In
time be extinct"
Explaining how the evolution from
feet to hoofs will come about, Mar

"The weight Of the body alone is
forcing the feet of today into the
narrow pointed shoe castings.
1.-THE resule Is feet are losing their
shape: toes are compressed, corns
and callouses follow and the logical
result will be hoofs."
