Direct Mexico
 City Road Soon

San Francisco, Jan. 23.-Direct passenger and freight connections by rail between Mexico City and San Francisco will soon be estab- lished. This is the announcement made here by R. M. Campos, person. al representative of the Director of the Mexican Railroad administration.
 Campos. arriving here with staff of several assistants. plans to open passenger and freight offices now, and later to construct terminals for both those branches of the railway service. It is stated the Mexican railways will compete for business along the Pacific coast. San Fran cisco will be the northernmost ter minal, Los Angeles and San Diego couthern terminals. There are now no through trains. and goods have to be unloaded and reloaded at the border. In the case of perishable foods this method had been found particularly inefficient and evpens- i've.
 The Mexican railways are now building new rolling stock. includ ing refrigerator cars for the fruit trade. Campos says. He adds that the Mexican national railways will give attention to tourist business, and that Pullman and tourist sleep CTS will be run direct to the City of Mexico from San Francisco, Los An geles and San Diego.
 One of the details which Campas ;s to arrange is an exchange of cars and system of through hauls. to he adjusted with the United States Railway Administration.

Stole His Pants
 at Unlucky Time

Garden City, L. l.. Jan. 23.-There lis wealthy resident of this village who would give little for it's entire police force, and all because his dress trousers were stolen at most Iinopportune time. This gentleman, Ia business man of New York, was invited to. one of the country houses of the society colony to dinner party and dance. His trousers had been sent to the tailor's and, as they had not been returned, he sent his daughter in his limousine to fetch thehm.
 The daughter carried out her fathers orders and went for the
 needed apparel. As soon as she had received the trousers she placed them in the car, then drove to a candy store near the station house and went inside to bay some can dy. While she was so engaged some inconsiderate person stole the trou- sers. A frantic call was issued for the police to find the garment, but their efforts were unavailing.
 A sure way to start unqualified condemnation of the local force among the commuters on the local train in the morning is to praise the Garden City police department for it's alertness.

International Body fOrPrOtectiOn of
 Consumer Urged

Washington, Jan. 23.- Creation of an international trade commission to deal with those who seek world monoply and are in q position to ln- iure not only the consumers in thelr own country, but those in foreign nations as well, was recommended by Houston Thompson, of the federal trade commission, in an address to- day before the second pan-Americ"n financial conference. Complaints should come through national trade commissions, MT Thompson said, and each cause tried before representatives of the inter national body not belonging to the nation whose citizens were involved in the litigation.
 "The definition of what was an unfair trade practice before this commission could be found in the trade practices already condemned i by the laws of many nations, both ancient and modern" MT. Thompson said, "the ruling of the respective trade commissions, the trade prac- tice submittal lists such as our com mission has already received from some of our industries, the pro- nouncements of political economists and above all, in the common sense of those before whom the case was presented after investigation and hearing.
 "In the universal publicity of the findings of such q body would He the corrective.
 "l have been asked who would pc lice the committing of the offenses The answer is the same as in our do mestic business-the competitor. ls there not every reason to believe that under th: inspiration of tho respective national trade commission: the industries in each nation woul< write thei rown trade practice sub initial list of unfair practices jus as they are doing in this country "
 A national trade mark, established by congress, as means of increas Ting national pride and controlling tho quality of goods exported from tho United States, also was urged by MT |, Thompson. Failure on the part ol an exporter to deliver goods of th' same grade and quality as samples would be sufficient cause for refus ing permission to use the trade mark

Madrid Without
 Newspapers for | Several Weeks

Alad1id, Jan. 23.-In almost any other of. the worlds cities it would be considered a calamity to be with out newspapers. Madrid has just passed thru such nexperience in a period of political crisis and during a lockout in Barcelona, the chief industrial city of Spain.
 Absence of the newspapers passed almost unnoticed because the people of Madrid are not newspaper reading public. Compared with oth- CT western cities of Europe the cir culation of the newspapers here is very small. Many a small town newspaper proprietor in America would consider himself very badly treated if his circulation books did not make better showing than those of the metropolitan dailies of Madrid.
 The A. B. C., a well-printed paper with good local and foreign service and well-printed pictures, has a cir culation in the whole Spain of about 100, ,OOO copies and the pictures &C., count for its comparatively large circulation. Other newspapers we'll known abroad by name as they are frequently quoted on foreign and domestic affairs are satisfied with circulations of from 30,000 to co., 900.
 The advertising columns, too, make poor showing compared with newspapers of other large cities. An income of $6,000 a month is consider ed good. The papers are sold at either five or ten centimos, but the government gives the papers bo- nus of another centimos for each pa- per sold, owing to the increased cost of production.
 The shutting down of the newspa- pers was due to a strike of the newspaper workers. Editors who received 500 pesetas a month asked for an increase of 20 to 30 per cent. Reporters drawing 50 to 15O pesetas demanded a minimum of 800 pesetas. Competitors asked for a 20 to 30 per cent increase in their average wage of seven pesetas a day. The result of the strike was that two newspapers disappeared and two new ones, the Libertad and the Hoy, were born.
