In Mirror.

Independence, Kan.-Feminine use
of a pocket mirror proved the undoing
of "Glen Rose" who for several weeks
masqueraded successfully as a harvest
hand. "Glen" then admitted she was
a girl. She stated that she had been
teaching school In Oklahoma and was
10 years old The prospect of max
ings big money In the harvest fields,
she asserted, prompted her to start
on the escapade. She cut her hair and
WIS attired In overalls. For some
time she worked on a farm along with
male harvest hands.
II noticed she wasn't able to do any
very heavy work and had rather dain-
ty features for a boy" said her en-
ployer after the disclosure had been
made, but never suspected that I

WOULD RESTORE
MEXICAN MINIS
Association of Mine Owners
Claims the Country Needs
"Hard Money"
UNLIMITED SILVER COINAGE
Expert Says II Old Time Mintlng Plan
Is Re-established Mexico Will
Coin SOC, 000, 900 Ounces
of Silver.

Nogales, Ariz.-The chamber of COM
merce has Joined with Charles But
tiers, mining expert of New York and
San Francisco, to promote the forma-
ton In Mexico of an association of
silver producers to rebuild the aban-
doned minis throughout the nation
and thus bring about once more the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Mr.. Buffers states that If the old-time
minting plan is re-established 1t will
mean that Mexico will coin SOC, 5000
ounces of silver.
The mining expert has extensive In
terests In mines In Mexico, Salvador
and Nicaragua, and is known for his
introduction of the cyanide reduction
process into Mexico. He says the
greatest need Of Mexico today Is small
change and "hard money"
Too Much Paper Money.
The revolutions and the world war,
says Mr. Buffers, have stripped Mex
leo bare Of silver coins. In its place.
he says, Is a vast quantity Of paper
money issued by the varying govern
ments as fiat money. He blames the
great flood Of paper money in Mexico
for most Of the suffering In that ma
ton in connection with the various
revolutions.
His plan, backed by the Nogales
chamber of commece, is to have the
old minis rebuilt and placed in opera
ton by the association of silver mine
interests at the cost Of the association.
Then the cost of the renewed mints
would be recovered by the association
from the mint profits over the course
OF years. Upon the paying out of the
capital charge in restoring the mints
they are to be returned to the Next
can federal government as its prop
erty, to be thereafter operated under
supervision Of the federal government.
BENEFITS Are ThreefoId.
This system, according to the silver
mine expert, has threefold BENEFITS !:
First, 1t will at once restore to Mexico
the "hard money" and small change
needed by merchants, banks and bust
ness men and now lacking; second, 1t
will provide permanent primary mar
ket at home for large amounts of sill
yer production; third, it will stabilize
the silver market because the Mexican
home requirements will take up a
great quantity of silver now exported
and sold on a speculation market
through San Francisco for the Orient.
Also this will serve to stimulate silver
production because of the better mar
ket conditions and thus raise the pri-
mary market price for the semipre.
cious metal.
President Bracey Curtis Of. the
chamber Of commerce has named a
committee Of prominent men to take
up the mint proposal with Gen. Alvaro
Obregon on his impending visit to his
home in Nogales, Sonora, this month.
Meanwhile the proposition will be
submitted by the Nogales chamber of
commerce to the civic bodies Of all
other border cities and the officials of
border states.
