MEXICO CITY--Apparel oft may

IL the recommendations Of Miguel
C~ovarrubias, secretary of foreign re-
'lations, are adopted by the govern
ment.
Senior Covarrubias proposes that
the ornate. gold-braided uniforms
worn by the nations ENJOYS in other
times be supp1anted by the severely
simple frock coats. which constitute
the full dress of diplomats represent
ing the United States and other
countries.
Besides arguing that Mexico
should fall in line with the customs
of other countries. advocates of Dip
lomatic dress reform point out that
the recommendations of Senior Co
varrubias, IL adopted. would result in
~appreciable economies and would
help convince the world that Mexico
is truly democratic.
In supporting the new movement
for dress simplication, FL Heraldo de
Mexico recalls that during the Car
rama regime a certain Mexican dip
lomat, upon presenting his creden-
tials to a ~fastidious and punctilfous
European court. chose not to wear
the conventional diplomatic uniform
in vogue at that time. but instead
attired himself in a flaming frock
| coat, adorned with a generals
epaulets. and wore a ricolor band
across his shirt front and gilded
| spurs on his boots. This diplomat
had read somewhere that a minister
plenipotentiary held the rank of gen
eral, and lacking a generals uni
form, had adorned his flamboyant
frock coat with what he believed &c
be the proper martial accoutrements

 strom For $500 Side Bet

Last week in this column appeared an item to the effect That wrestling match between Al Lundstrom of North Grosvenor-Dale and Pink Gard ner of Schenectady, might be staged in Putnam. The following letter just received from Gardner shows that the Schenectady boy is willing and ready to back himself to the tune of $500 as side bet. This will add zest to the contest if it can be arranged.
 The letter, dated at Schenectady. is as follows:
 Sporting Editor, Putnam Patriot, Putnam. Conn.,:
 Dear Sir:--I have been informed by friend of mine, who has just wis ited your vicinity, that Al Lund- strom, whom I defeated here just re- gently, is offering excuse upon excuse for his defeat. Such as he was not in the very best of condition and he was tired from the long trip here the day and night previous, and in fact dis crediting me very much. It IS surely too bad that man who is in the ath- letic game for the sport he gets out of it, can't take his defeats as grace fully as he does his victories. While I am very much surprised in Mir. Lundstrom's actions and feel ings, l have no doubt at all but that can beat him again at any time or any place, and I trust he will also be in the best of condition should the oppor- tunity present itself for us to meet in another match
 "I will appreciate, very much, your publishing my attitude in this matter, as perhapa Mir Lundstrom has creat- ed the impression in his vicinity that he was not treated right when here and thinks he really can beat me. enjoy wrestling and the better the man the better I enjoy it. I'll wres- tie Mir. Lundstrom any time in "a winner take all match" and bet him on the side any amount up 10 hse hundred ($5O0.0O) dollarss
 "Thanking you in advance for this kind favor and trusting l may have the pleasure of making your acquain- tance some time. 1 remain.
 "Yours in sport,
