 Archeologists advance the theory that the sixteen-foot covering of earth over these pyramids was the work of the Aztecs who desired to hide their institutions of religion from invaders.
 An amusing incident of the trip which typifiel the regard the Mexican now holds for the American occurred at Cuernavec, where Charles McArthur became envious of a hat worn by a Mexican general. McArthur indicated to the general that he would like to be directed to a place where he could
 make similar purchase. At this point
 Royal Lescher entered the scene. He brought with him two hats of Mexican manufacture, but both smaller than that worn by the officer Of the army of the southern republic McArthur refused the proffer of one of the hats which Lescher carried. The Mexican general had been an interested specta- | tor, not quite understanding what was desired. In explaining the kind of hat wanted McArthur pointed to the off cial head covering. The generals eyes lighted He understood. The Ameri- can liked his hat. He removed it and with the courtliest of bows presented 1t to McArthur. Tn turn he gravely re- ceived one of the smaller type from

ANDREW KIMBALL ID
 RETURN THIS MONTH

Andrew Kimball, commissioner of agriculture and horticulture, is ex- pected to return to the state Dec. 9, after attending a series of conventions throughout the East, where he has been making consistent efforts to place Arizona in the foreground
 MT. Kimban first attended the Farm ers' National congress at Columbus, Ohio, where he was recognized as a leader on the floor and active as a member of the resolutions committee and on the executive board. He was particularly active in securing the passage of the resolution pledging CO., operation and recommending that all farm organizations cooperate with the American Farm Bureau federation in all its legislative and economic efforts to better American agriculture. The congress requested that the federation l issue a call for an immediate confer ence of all farm organizations to con summate such cooperation. The prin- ciple of the Smith Fletcher flood con | trol and river regulation bin was alsC | indorsed.
 Trim Ohio MT. Kimball went to Chi cago, where he attended the meeting O commissioners of agriculture and hor- ticulture of the United States, deliver | ing an interesting paper on ''Cottor | Industry of the Southwest" Early thi'

and several hundred availed themselves of an opportunity to send free mess ages "back home"
 Among those at the station to greet the great delegation was Robert Turn bull, formerly of Phoenix, who is now official photographer for the Mexican government.
 Wherever they were met the Amert- cans were treated with the greatest Of Cordiality and consideration. The bet ter class of Mexicans could speak Eng llsh very well. according to MT. Adams, who said that on several occasions when confused in his directions he had heen offered the assistance of passing natives who would go several blocks out of their way to show him the place he would be seeking.
 Because of the many reports cir culated in this country regarding the attitude of the Mexican toward the American we naturally expected that among the common people we would meet with at least some trace of hos tility. 1t was therefore an agreeable surprise to find pleasant greetings for us wherever we turned. There was not q single trace of prejudice"
 Bad Conditions Among Poor
 Although Mexico seems to be reviv- ing and silver and gold coins are free ly circulated in some of the larger cities, the poor are in very bad circum- stances, according to Adams, who told of seeing many of them sleeping on the sidewalks of Mexico City. President Obregon is very simple in his tastes and habits. He has estab- lished a very modest official residence in preference to the palace fitted with it's priceless tapestries and furniture Tn attending a bull fight, especially staged for the visitors and marked by an attendance of about 10000 people Obregon sought a place in the grand stand instead of occupying the presi- dents box.
 Like the telegraph and telephone and railway service, the bull fight was free to the Americans. Nor were the guest: charged admittance at the theaters ol | for their lodgings. Banquets were daily events throughout the officia visit

LAME DUCKS TO HOLD OVER Z DAYS IN 1921

The 1921 calendar is handing state officials and all state employees salary for two days after the first of the year.
 The first Monday of January, which according to the constitution is the day officials take office. falls on Jan. Is. Until they have qualified, the old officers draw their salaries. New Years day Is on Saturday, and with Sunday following the present state house family will remain intact until Monday morning. when those who were elected at the general election in No vember will be sworn fin.
 Several years ago the question was put up to Attorney General Jones by the state auditor as to the exact time the salary of state officials began and ended. Mir. Jones said yesterday that there was no doubt in his mind article V. section 1, of the constitution clearly setting forth that state officers shall hold office "the first Monday in Janu- ary next after election"

ADJUSTMENTS
Columbia


 Sdward Connolly, who plays the heroines father in Dangerous to Men," the new Viola Dana picture which plays at Mauk's Columbia thea ter today and tonight. is a veteran of the legitimate stage, where he long played important character roles. He is also remembered for his artistic performance of "Marse Covington," George Ade's vaudeville play. which he did later in pictures.
 At the same time that he was work ing in Dangerous to Men" he was cast as Nat Berry in the screen pro- duction of Shore Acres" in which Alice Lake is featured. It was possi- ble for Mir Connolly to play both parts in pictures which were being screened at the same time as he died in an early episode of Dangerous to Men" and did not appear in the early scenes in Shore Acres"
 In Dangerous to Men" he appears as an eccentric old naturalist whose mind has become slightly deranged through an over intense career as an explorer. He meets death when on scientific expedition to Afghanistan.

 Tonight the last joy night of the week at the American. will be the scene of another big dance fest, and the last opportunity of the week to spend an evening of joyous dance at the bright place.

BUSY LEGISLATIVE
 SESSION EXPECTED

Requests for material and data from the members of the legislature indicate a busy session, according to Con Gro min, state law librarian, who as usual will draft a number of bills that will come before the legislature.
 Mir. Cronin stated that judging from the letters he has received the session will last long and a large amount of business win be transacted.
 With a Democratic majority of one in the lower house and a Republican majority of one in the senate, MT. Cro- min is not anticipating anything but a harmonious session. He does not be- lieve that legislation of the political character will feature the session. be- lieving that with wanted and needed school legislation. road legislation and revision of the election code the leg islature should be a unit, he says. MT. Cronin will, as announced, pre- pare a library bill. The first library measure prepared by MT. Cronin was 1 in 1917, when he asked for an appro- priation of $100,00O for library needs. The bill passed the house and the sen ate committee on appropriations in cluded 1t fin the general appropriation bill. with the result that the appropria- i ton was increased and the wing built to the capitol Mir Cronin advocates
 a separate building to house the n- brary and the supreme court, a system 1 that is being followed throughout the country.
 1 In his long service with the state during which time he has drafted in
 numerable bills, MT. Cronin never has
 had a bill declared unconstitutional.

 But yell is not all that the 1900 Americans who swarmed Into the do- main of our southern neighbors brought back with them. judging from the wealth of experience and knowl- edge of Mexican affairs gathered by Mir. Adams.
 rNye all brought back with us the impression that Mexico is tired of lighting and ready to get down to con structive and progressive work" he declared. He said that at the present the country seemed very quiet and peaceful. However. Mexico City ap- pcared to be the only place where there were indications of an awakening to the opportunities under the new ad ninistration. Great tracts of excellent agricultural lands were barren and nc cattle or sheep were seen on vast ex- panses of fine grazing lands.
 But the scene in the vicinity of Mex leo City is very different, according to Mir. Adams. Lands are being cult- vated and there is renewed industrial activity. Many large buildings are be- ing erected in the capital city. includ- ing a new theater which will cost when completed, about eighteen mil lion pesos or nine million American cellars.
