THE MEXICAN AS HE IS

Above all the Mexican is generous and
he is very sympathetic. Where an out-of-
the-way village still retains its early In
dian customs and still possesses its ejidos
or commons, you find the people indus
trious, as l have said, but also careful
and thoughtful, ingenious, and of true CO.
operative spirit. What on Vecino has, the
other shares. No man goes hungry, no
man lords it over the others. This trait
of generosity is widespread. I have seen
a poor, tattered soldier, earning sixty cents
a day, out of which sum he had to feed
himself and perhaps wife and children,
give shivering old woman ten centaVos
with which to buy coffee. These are the
r,obler human virtues.
The Mexican, peon or aristocrat, is in
variably courteous and gentle, especially
to strangers and foreigners. Once sitting
in the plaza of small mountain town,
was honored by the leading citizen COM
ing forth to offer his assistance, his house,
was stranger. Passing villagers stopped
and asked me from whence I came, where
/ was going, how long intended to re-
main in town, and always their questions
were accompanied by an offer of friend
ship and assistance, an invitation to
meal, proffer of cigarette, flower, or
an orange-because l was stranger in
their midst.
But people that are starving, people that
are broken by war cannot continue to love
poetry, to love music, to love beauty; they
cannot continue to be generous, courteous,
sympathetic or loyal. Yet somehow the
nobler traits of the Mexican Jose must be
salvaged, redirected and made creative
power for the rescue of himself and his
country. His future is the future of Mex
ico-that richest, most gorgeous, most
charming and colorful lands of, time

in one of his last unonicial acts before relinquishing the presidency, urged alumni and friends of education to support the University of virginias sS.c0O,o0o centennial endowment fund which opened this week.
 MT. Wilson stressed the geographical position of the university, midway be- tween north and south, as admirably adapted for purposes of mediation pV tween the states on either side of the Ms son n-Dixon line.
 Armistead M. Dobie, executive di- dector of the centennial endowment 1und, tooay made public MT. Wilson's letter. 1t is as follows;
 My Dear MT. Dobie; Allow me to express my very deep interest in the efforts to collect the centennial endow- - ment fund Of the University of Vir- gin!a. l should suppose that there vii, be a very general interest in this eff fort. for the service or the University of Virginia, not only to the state but 10 the naticn, Is so well known. There are very few institutions of which it can be said. as it can be said of the University ( f Virginia, that two thirds of it's graduates enter some form of public service, and there are very few so admirably adapted to mediate be- tween north and south by reason of their position and tradition. The Uni versity of Virginia is particularly adapted to play such a part and is in very real sense a national institu . ton.
 Hoping that the efforts to secure this fund will be abundantly success ful, I am, cordially and sincerely yours

POPULARITY

hE7JUST CAN'T help envying Arabella
 Maria Mushy," said girl the othe-
 Oiay-one of the prettiest girls in
 town at that-to group of friends who were engaged in a little sewing bee" effect.
 And why--pray?" asked one of the group? didn't suppose you had cause to envy any body, any thing"
 shes so popular" was the quick re- ply from the pretty girl
 "Well-so are you, said the admiring friend.
 Not like Arabella-not by jug full, '' said the pretty girl. "Arabella Maria was invited to house party week be- fore last, another this week; she's going to New York to visit friend for two weeks and a continual round of parties has been planned for her; and then she's going to Florida to visit other friends, and there isn't a party of the smallest kind that's given that she isn't invited and-and-wen life for her is just one round of pleasure and popularity-sort of vaudeville affair don't you know"
 Popularity is the infinite capacity of
 
 girl-who was a bit older and knew the ropes better than this pretty young girl. Any body can be popular who will listen to the woes and the triais and tribulations of other people and ab- solutely eliminate themselves. Give up their personality-their individuality every thing"
 Shortly after the conversation the pretty girl-We'r call her ''Nan'-chanced to meet one of little Miss Arabella Nara Musings h'ostesses. the one who had entertained her at one of the recent house parties referred to and just for fun (she told me this afternoon) she said Please tell me what it is that makes so; even her girl friends admit that she's the most popular girl in town and that spells lot, for you know when women love each well-usually men look about to see what the motive is-just what is up a sleeve or two"
 "She is the very sweetest and most charming girl in the world" replied the woman of house party fame. II don't think l ever entertained girl who fitted in so beautifully as she does. At least she fitted into my scheme of things so we'll that I never mean to have house. party at our big old country place with out her. The only thing that will keep me from doing so will be her numerous engagements"
 You know sometimes it is pretty hard to get a house party to run smoothly even if it is only for the week end.' she continued. "One uneven note in the en- semble can spoil it all. I usually try to get congenial people first of all, and then make out my programme for the whoie time, before my guests arrive. But

while I was down stairs arranging for a party for the same ones to which 1 had bidden my neighbors a week be- fore?'
 'It's safe to say those two will never be invited to your house again" Nan suggested.
 Never" was the prompt reply. But with Arabella Maria tt is different. If some one were to propose a visit to a haunted house, she would go if it killed her. Even though she had been there a hundred times before. If some one sug- gested game of Five Hundred" in stead of bridge, she'd never shrug her shoulders, and say she didn't care for It., but go on as though she enjoyed it more than anything else in the world.
 "In other words. she has so much tact that when she is at wedding you'll take her for the bride, and when she goes to a funeral you'd think she was tne corpse" Nan observed.
 Exactly" said the woman. And, then, too, she never never fails you, She never says told you so'-that hated term we all look upon with dread--but when things go wrong and everything seems hopeless, she jumps right in and helps you out, and you feel like throwing your arms around ncr neck and kissing her thousa ne times" o

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub stitute for calomel-are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.

 They must be very queer sort. Nan said, rather surprised
 "As little as you may believe it, they do and they are nice, well-bred people or supposed to be" she said. For in stance, at one of my parties recently l invited tow sisters, and do you know be- fore they arrived they had made engage. ments with two young fellows in the neighborhood to, go horseback riding the morning after they got there?

For instance, if YOU accidentally
