 Mexico City, Mex, Nov. 9.-Labor complications, combined with activ- ities against the government of Car ranz1sta cOnSpirators are causing in- creasing uneasiness. It is feared that one of two serious situations may be presented The first is T general strike with a multitude of idle men and the danger of bolsh vism. of which Mexico already has had taste formidable Carranzista uprising, started under a ''sr1oke screen" of labor trouble.
 Carranzistas have been busy with their misunderstanding for some time. They have had agents not only along the border but in the cities of the in- terior, the consolidating policy of Presi- dent Adolfo de la Huerta having the heart of the country for the spreading of propaganda and for the maturing of plots.
 Where the large sums of money from is "a matter of great interest here. German liquor dealers and others, who were pleased by the un- friendly attitude of the late President and feared prohibition under the pres ent government, are said to have given literally to the Carranzista fund. There is even a hint that some
 
 ranzista coffers by British interests which were disposed to favor any means of retarding American enter prise in Mexico.
 Now that Carrapzista plotting may set Mexico afire with the flames of bolshevism some are wondering whether the packers of the Carran- zista movement will continue their contributions.
 Setback for Government. The de la Huerta government is ] doing all it can to restore industrial 1 harmony, but has met with a serious | setback. The owners of the coal l mines in Coahuila, where the miners are on strike, have refused to accept the mediation of the government and | have expressed determination to fight | the strikers until hunger forces the men to return to work. | This attitude was taken by the mine | owners because they were convinc ed that the government favored the striking miners
 Supporters of the government, ex. blaming this apparent leaning of the de la Huerta administra ton to labor said: Tn the present state of affairs

tsLAT-WING' IS LATEST AIRPLANE INVENTION

 London Nov. 9.-Greater loads and higher speeds than are now attained arc claimed as the special features of the new aeroplane wing introduced by the Handley Page Company.
 A demonstra tion of the new wing was recently given at the works of the aeroplane manufactory. The new wing was fitted to a de Haviland ma chine. and it certainly indicated what it could do in rapid climbing and in slow landings.
 The wing is composed of number of slats overlapping each other. giv- ing it much the appearance of Ven etian blind. The wing is thus con- verted into what might be designated as a number of wings.
 In order that the speed of the ma chine, when in full flight, shall not an attached contrivance to close the Elats and thus make them into one rolid plate. The company's explana- = ticn of the new wing is as follows:
 Much Greater Lift.
 The special feature of the new wing is that it has a very much greater lift for every square foot of it's surface compared with an ordi- nary wing. The construction consists in having slots right through the plane, connecting the lower and upper surfaces. and to the uninitiated it would appear that these slots, allow ing the air to escape from the under to the upper surface of the wing, took away all the lift.
 Strange as it may seem. the re- verse is exactly the case. The slots in the wing virtually convert the sin gle wing into a number of wings and - increase the lifting power of the wins two or three times as much as in the wing of ordinary construction.
 'Supposing. for instance. that a ma chine today lifts a total weight of a ton and half and has wing area of 400 square feet. With this new wing IL will be possible to lift the same weight with a wing area of only 200 to 300 square feet Therefore, wings can be built more stoutly without increas- Ing weight and so the all-metal wing sialiy."

There is too much laxity in buy.
ing methods. Still people complain
Of high priees-~hen, in reality,
careless spending is instrumental in
keeping up costs. Not enough at

of merchandise.
For example: 4 housewife goes IN
to a grocery store. She orders . can
of this-a pound of that-h peck or
a package of something else. She
looks UPON high prices as aScondi-
ton over which she has little or no
control.
All. too often she cntertains the
perverted notion that a ~price-tag IS a
badge Of quaiity-that high priced
goods are naturally the most mer-
itorious. She has lost the true per-
spectivc Of worth in the tumble OF
high costs and Judges by what she
gives more than by What she gets:
It is a grievous erfor-and a pre-
dominating cause Of high prices. Ev-

7 production. In many localities there
has been a chronic shortage Of labor
for several years. Overtime work has
been general. The entire agricultural
work of the country has been carried
on short handed and farmers ~have
been going without all-year-round
help. which most OF. them 3sorely need.
""High Wages have brought a great

for EperyH Housewife

This doesn't imply that all goods
cold al a moderate price possess de-
sirable merit. Poor merchandise at
any price always proves expensive.
Quality alone is the only test Of
value-and should be the buying
guide of every housewife.
High-priced commodities that are
moi worth the prices at which they
arc quoted are sold because there is
a demand for them. The grocer must
handle them because his trade insists
on having them. The grocer is not
toSblame. He hesitates to offer buy
ing suggestions to customers be-

vice as an outright insult 70 their

The conscientious grocer-and the
huge majority,of groeers aresof that

his customers-wiliing and able to
give them intelligent and helpful adj
vice along the lines Of economical
buying. But the customer must dis
play a willingness to be advised.

CROPSEY CRITICTSES
HYLAN ADMINISTRATION
But Disnisses Suit of Bergen
Beach Land Co. Against City.

Justice Cropsey OF the Supreme Court
in Brooklyn dismissed yesterday a suit
begun by the Bergen Beach Land Com
pany against the city in connection with
the jamaica Bay Improvement, but criti-
cised the Hylan administration for de-
laying the work.
III is unfortunate that il seems neces-
sary TO render this decision. said JUS
tice Cropsey THE development of
Jamaica Bay has been delayed all too
long ana the need of Il is but little
short OF Imperative.
."rhe growth OF the city the extern
sion OF its commerce and the prosperity
OF its citizens are all involved and de-
pend in very material degree upon It.
But II is held up by the action of the
city administration in undoins what has
been done by its predecessor (the
Mitchell administration.
The Bergen Beach Land Company
sued to prevent the city from following
plans for the Jamaica Bay Improvement
which would take the company's land
off the five hundred foot ship canal. An
agreement had been made by the com
pany with the Sinking Fund Commits
sioners during the Mitchell administra-
ton whereby the company was to erect
four thousand foot bulkhead along the
line of the ship canal through the bay.
When the Sinking Fund Commissioners
/ last May changed the channel and bulk
head lines the company began suit JUS
! tice Cropsey ruled that he could not
compel specific performances of the old
/ contract.
