PROHIBITION GAINS
GROUND IN MEXICO
In Face of Strong Opposition Issue
Looms Large For Drink Sup
preston.

Mexico City, Mex, Oct. 10 (By
Mall Mexico is going thru a per-
iod similar to the Raines law days
/ in New York. Drinking places are
supposed to be closed on all holt
days and from Saturday noon until
Monday morning, but all sorts of
devices are resorted to in the effort
to evade the law.
Prohibitionists, who are gaining
strength here, keep a watchful eye
upon the cantinas, restaurants and
hotels, and are quick to expose the
frauds practiced to fill the till and
cheer the thirsty.
Some of the newspapers, seeing
this growing sentiment in favor of
closing drinking places, have taken
up the issue and are devoting much
space to the evils of drink and the
lawless characters of some of the
city's resorts.
Can BE Had.
On Sunday it is still possible to
buy liquor in certain places which
are on good terms with the police.
No exposure has yet been made of
the manner in which these places
get rpolice protection" but it is
whispered that there is graft" along
lines exposed in New York and else
where during the blue-law days which
preceded prohibition.
In some places, IL you ask for tea
and wink at the waitert you ge
brandy. If you ask for ginger ale,"
also with a wink and a knowing
smile, you get ahighball, served in
china cup.
The prohibition agitation has ex-
tended to Tampico and elsewhere.
At Tampico, drink has caused much
inconvenience to the oil companies.
1t is not common for large numbers
of men to stay away from work on
Monday to recover from the effects
of dissipation on Sundays with the
proceeds of the money received on
Saturdays.

A list of growers of pure sorghum
seed has been Issued this year by the
Kansas State Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Manhattan, supple
menting similar lists which have been
published in the past on wheat, corn,
and other principal cereal crops. The
list is made from field inspection and
enables farmers to tell the exact
grade of sorghum or percentage of
mixture with other varieties which
is to be obtained from any grower.
This service has been of grea. advan-
tage 10 the farmers of the State.

Is Hinderance To Work.

There is also much drinking dur
ing the week, and the Mexican la
borer filled with mescal is worthless
and often troublesome.
But the trouble due to drink is not
confined to the Mexican workmen.
Foreign mechanics, including Amer
leans, who have been brought to Mex
leo at high salaries because of their
skill or expert knowledge of certain
crafts, lose much time because of
drink. Some fan complete victims
to the fascinating native drink, te-
qula. TIKI has a potency, and en-
alavi~g power like that OF absinthe,
and the victims consume bottles Of
the fiery liquor in an amazingly short
time. Sometimes they remain drunk
for two or three weeks. doing no
work and holding up operations be-
cause their skill is needed 20 direct
forces OK less able workmen. Some
tines hey drag along thru sodden
days drinking from hidden bottles
Of liquor and seeming to attend to
their work but doing little Of value.
"The "open saloons" Of Mexico
have brought a multitude Of amer
team drinkers to Mexico Many Of
these men could earn better wages
I'm the United States. Even at Tam
pico, where the highest wages are
paid because of the need of skillful
workmen by the oil companies. the
earnings of good mechanics are not
better than in the United States, and
the climate is extremely unhealth-
full.
Dry Ranks Grow.
While the ranks of the prohibit
tionists in Mexico are growing there
is formidable opposition to the new
"dry" measure enforced here Keep
ers of drinking places everywhere are
opposed to the order forcing them
to close on the days on which they
formerly did their most profitable
business.
There is a substantial element al
lied with the "wets." Clubs do not
want to close their bars on the days
when their members have time to
gather for friendly intercourse hotels
and restaurants do not wish to be
compelled to refuse their patrons
liquors on the days when their din
ing rooms are most frequented, and
the patrons themselves object to be-
ing deprived of alcoholic beverages
on holidays. And the patrons OF
the hotels and restaurants who en-
l joy a bottle of wine with their Sun
day dinner include some men of great
influence.

Hall Foundations
Must Be Heavier
Soft Soil Makes Heavy FOunda-
tons Necessary to Support
Building and Make
1t Safe

The Mayor and Council met in regu-
lar session on Tuesday night. Mayor
Hunt presided with Councilmen Walk
er, Keen, Fahy, Pyne, Clerk Hunt, So
licitor Leap and Road Supervisor Sail
or, in attendance.
The most important matter consid-
cred. during the meeting was founda-
ton walls for the new Borough Hall.
When excavations were commenced
it was discovered that the soil was of
such a nature that the ordinary walls
for such a structure would not be safe,
being of a nlucky, springy consistency
for a considerable depth. If founda-
tons originally decided upon, two feet
wide and one foot thick were used, the
building would undoubtedly settle and
the walls crack, rendering it unsafe.
1t was finally decided after going over
the matter carefully, to, increase such
footings to three feet in width, one
foot SIX inches thick, reinforced with
iron throughout, this, change to apply
to all outside walls. This will entail
an additional cost of about $3.50.
Several ordinances that have been
under consideration for some time
were taken up and passed final read
ing.
In a communication from R. F.
Willis & Bro, attention was called to
the bad condition of Oak Street. Re-
pairs are badly needed and the longer
the work is neglected the more it will
cost to put the roadway in condition
for the heavy traffic to which the
street is subjected. An obstruction in
the road at Penn and Pitman Streets
in the shape of a large stone was re-
ferred to. 1t was a M to traffic
and should be removed. Both matters
were referred to the street committee.
Solicitor Leap was instructed to pre-
pare an ordinance which will prevent
~discharging water from cellars into
the street.
The States bill of $1100 for audit
Ing the Borough's financial condition
still remains unpaid for the reason
that it is considered a heavy burden
for a municipality of the size of Penns
Grove to assume.
A letter was read from MI. Walter
Darby, Auditor of the State Depart
ment of Municipal Accounts, in which
he stated that they could not see their
way clear to accept the Borough's
compromise offer of $500 for the work.
He suggested that the Borough
officials test the validity of the law.
AS the budget for this year or'r
provides for $500 for this item no f.
action was, taken.
Solicitor Leap was of the opin
that when the matter is taken
again with the department at Tren
and conditions clearly explained,
$500 offer will very likely be accept
Borough Clerk Huns was instruct
to write the Board of Freeholders as
ing them to make necessary repa
to Main Street.

The Aurora BOrealis

Great shafts of light stretched
across the sky above Penns Grove ON
Monday night. The effect was much
the same as tho a huge searchlight
were scanning the heavens.
At n time during the display, the
streamers seemed to radiate o a
point at the zenith, looking much like
a woman's hair. AT other times =
seemed as if some unseen Zeppelln'was
throwing a great s%earchlight athwart
the heavens.
All during the time of the phenome-
non, patches Of the sky assumed a
milky aspect, while between the bands
of light, CULTS of darkness yawned, the
more intense by contrast. The display
was at its greatest brilliancy for an
hour before midnight.

Manila Bars Coastwise Law
Philippines Fear Statute Will
Affect Foreign Trade

Through the Philippine Press Bureau
at Washington strong objection is
made by the Filipinos to the extension
of the coastwise laws of the United
States to the Philippines, which will
preclude anything but American ships
plying between this country and Philip
pine ports. The merchant marine
laws provide that on February ], 1929
the President of the United States
shall declare the extension of the
"onatwisc '.aws to the philippine Isl
Gnds if, after full investigation. he
shall find that an adequate shipping
service has been established and that
reasonable rates exist.
In the objections it is contend c,y
thst the extension Of the coastwise
laws is unnecessary because, for rea.
sons of nhtonal gratitude, the Filpinoe'
preference would always be for Amcri-
can bottoms, circumstances being
equal; that the extension Of the law
would be Injurious to Philippine trade
ana commerce, as it's immediate effect
would be to isolate Manila from other
steamship lines; that the law was
passed against the will and over the
protest of tho Philippine government,
ana constltutes "jab against Philip
pine autonomy" and that the extension
OF the law mny react against American
trade itself. in that exports and imports
TO ana from Europe. may increase to
the detriment Of American products.
The bureau concludes that the Philip.
pine clause Of tho merchant marine
law ahould ba repealed
