TALKS TO. ARcAN|ANS ABOUT MEXICO

Hon. Luther K. Zabrisl<ie of this city. U. s. consul at Aguascalientes. Mexico, who is spending a few weeks at his home here, gave an interesting talk on Mexico after the supper at the Arcanum club on Friday evening. MT. zabriskie, during the course of his talk, said that during the three years in Mexico he had re- ceived only courteous treatment from the Mexicans and that as far as he was con- cerned he had nothing but good to say of the people. He sadi in part:
 With the possible exception of Russia, the country just south of the Rio Grande comprises within it's territorial limits the greatest variety of attitudes and climates, land configurations and soil products, to- gether with the corresponding variations among the inhabitants of the country and the general conditions under which they live, of any country on earth. The snow mantled peaks of the highest mountains are the "Greenland's Icy Mountains" of Mexico, while "Egypt's Coral Strands'' can be found all along the Pacific coast and the shores cf the Gulf of Mexico.
 The broad central plateau is well-nigh
 devoid of rugged vegetation but is i'm
 mensely rich in almost every mineral product that has ever been found; while the coastal plains present such sights as are only to be witnessed in the tropics.
 Mexico City, which is generally referred to as "The City of Palaces is occasion | ally likened to Paris on account of the magnificence of it's public and private buildings and because of the elegance of it's society leaders. The subject of Mexi-
 co, it's history, it's land and it's peoples affords study that is intensely interest | ing, but after one has seemingly exhaust ed it, upon making fresh survey, he is | inclined to feel that the half has yet to bt 1 told.
 The history of the country is full ot
 romance, adventure and largely legen dary. It was supposed that when tht 1 Spaniards came to Mexico in the 1etf century they skinned the cream of th' country. It is true they took vas 1 wealth from the mines but those sam'
 mines have been worked ever since ant
 are still pouring forth their stores O | wealth, and there are unlimited natura resources yet undeveloped. Agriculture however, is one of the leading occupation
 of the country and Americans have sunl fortunes in it and mining while other have reaped wealth.
 I Travellers from the United States ar poorly impressed with the country whel
Norwich bulletin., 1920-05-29

they enter the country from the north by the Fl Paso route and it is not until within 100 miles of Mexico City that they become impressed with the beauty of the country. But those who go by the way of Vera Cruz have one of the most beau tiful scenic journeys that could be de- sired, mountains, rivers and valleys pre- sent a picturesqueness that can only be eoualled by a trip through the Alps.
 The cactus, which is found in Mexico in practically every known species, is meat and drink to the natives and can be used in the making of cloth and other household necessities. From the cactus comes that milky-looking, iH-smclling beverage. "puluue." I use the word ill., smelling advisedly, for it is said of pulque that, like Limberger cheese, it is all right after you get it by your nose.
 Tequila, the brandy of Mexico, is made from another form of cactus and it has been said that this is so powerful that a mouse after drinking it will go and fight cat.
 Mexico City is claimed to have beer founded in 1925 by the Aztecs and the history is of legendary nature until the j.16th century In this century one of the greatest engineering tasks was started the building of a canal to drain off ht water from the city, and was not com pleted until the present century. Tn' cost of this was about five million dol lars The city is very beautiful, a lont boulevard running from the center t the foot hills, of Chapultepec. This i | bordered by beautiful trees and residenc es and the business section contains an i cient and modern architecture. l Aguacalentes is like most of the othe Mexican cities with houses of one story mostly of adobe construction built aroun squares. Mexico is an agricultural coun | try and some manufacturing is done ..
 For all the good times and pleasan
 experiences there is no place. like nome.
 Mir. Zabriskie was given a rising vot
 of appreciation at the conclusion of nj talk.
 Following the address, President A
 exander Jordan awarded the prizes fo the bowling tournament that recent closed. First prize was given to the a. Roy Robbins team; prize for high thre strings went to Louis Naples; high singl to John Tracy and individual average {
 E. Lewis Youig.
