Pick EN- for Others;
Not for Himself
(Bv United Press)

Los Angeles-Martha A. Padley does
not understand the principles of adver-
Using, nor how unpleasant misdirected
publicity carr be.
Benjamin w. Padley, Martha's hus-
band, thinks SO at least. Benjamin
runs matrimonial agency.
Martha is suing him for divorce. Not
only that, but she is telling the world
the things Benjamin doesn't know
about matrimony.
It's all being threshed out in Judge
J Perry Woods divorce court, setting
not new to either Benjamin. or Martha.
They were divorced once before. That
was Immediately after the police had
locked up Benjamin's love brokerage
office on complaint of neighboring ten
ants, and incarcerated its proprietor
and several of his too-affectionate eli
ents for a time.
The Padleys, however, remarked, and
once more marriage-to-order shingle
was hung out on Benjamin's doorstep
All would have been well, probably,
if Mrs. Padley had not overheard her
spouse make an untimely, not to say
tactless, remark to the effect that while
he could pick 'em for other people all
right, he'd certainly made a poor choice
in the matrimonial grab bag himself.

Canada is Mad
With Oil Strike
Gold Strike Fever is Discarded for the
Oozing Oil Fields of Canada
One Vein Forty Feet Wide.
iBv Associated Pressl

The Pas, MANIFOLD fever has temp
orarily displaced excitement here in
cident to the rush to the oil fields, and
prospectors are leaving daily for scene
of reported rich mineral strikes.
Reports of ore bodies rich, in gold
content having been uncovered come
from several sections, but the richest
is reported at Elbow Lake in the
Athapapuskow Lake mineral area and
east of the famous Gordon Dyke, dis
covered last summer. Elbow Lake is
about 200 miles northeast of The Pas.
Mining men who have visited the
spot have returned here with an ac-
count of vein sixty feet wire wherein
free gold is freely seen. Until it is
stripped, they declare, however, it is
possible only to approximate the
value and tonnage.
Other prospectors who visited the
region following the report of the
strike declare that mineral body forty
feet wide and traced for three hundred
fifty feet in length has been uncovered,
throughout which free gold is heavily
deposited. One prospector had two
pounds of ore, of which the gold con-
tent was estimated at not less than
two per cent, These samples are con-
sidered the richest ever brought here.
Another strike, the exact location of
which is vague, also has thrown Peace
River into the throes of gold fever
The cause of the excitement was the
recent arrival of party who inves-
tigated claim which furnished~an Old
Indian trapper, about seventy miles
northeast of here, with number OF
small nuggets.

President ObregOn of Mexico Shows
Democratic Spirit by Dining

Mexico City-President Oregon has
shown on numerous occasions lately
that there is nothing of the aloofness

"a, He frequently dimes in public with
his wife and at one cafe where there is

sorting friend in promenade although
he does not dance.
At a recent wrestling match he
aroused much applause when he quiet
ly slipped into box and was not at
all backward in picking his man to win.
He still refuses to use Chapultepec
castle, the beautiful presidential home,
for a residence, preferring to live in
modest cottage nearby. The castle,
however, is frequently used for small
parties and the circle of Obregon
friends is we'll entertained.
The president disdains pomp and
show and even the few state receptions
he has held have been modest. Always
good horseman, General Obregon
may be seen almost any Sunday morn
ing on the bride path and on days of
fiesta he frequently joins the automo-
bile parade through Chapultepec Park.
At no time does he carry a body
guard, not even on a recent national
holiday when rumors of revolution
were rife. On that day he passed thru
thousands of spectators in an open
carriage.

New Amendment to
Govern Smallpox

New amendments to the state law
governing smallpox control, enacted by
the legislature, are now in effect and
have been received by DR.. G. Windes-
helm of the local board of health.
One makes provision for vaccination
OF school children during an outbreak
of smallpox, the expense to be borne
by the governing unit. Parents may,
however, employ physicians of their
choice for such vaccinations, and pay
the expense incurred. The state board
Of health is empowered to determine
the method to be employd in vaccinat-
ing, designate the persons to do the
work. and determine the maximum fee
to be charged.
The same act extends to the state
board the same authority vested in
local boards of health to prohibit the
attendance of children at school when
smallpox is present in the district,
and reduce the time of such non-at-
tendance from 25 days to IA days, for
all pupils and teachers not recently
vaccinated or successfully vaccinated,
The order for such non attendance at
school may be renewed for another
Ia days if the epidemic continues.
Upon the appearance of the first
case of smallpox in school district
it is now mandatory, whereas it form
erly was largely optional, for the local
or state health authorities to apply
the measures prescribed. Furthermore,
the period of exclusion of unvaccinated
children from school shall begin with
the appearance of the first case of
the disease

Divorcing Ground

London.-America was described as
"the happy hunting ground of divorce"
and "the home of divorces" by the Rev.
A. V. Magee, vicar of St. Marks church
in London, during discussion of the
divorce question by the London dioce-
san conference just ended. A resolu-
ton was adopted pledging the confer
ence "to adhere to the principle of the
indissolubility of Christian marriage
Mr.. Magee denounced Lord Buckmas-
ter's bill in parliament for divorce re-
form, saying it could adequately be de-
scribed in two titles, Divorce While
You Wait" and Marriage on Trial for
Six Months" An amendment to the
resolution that the conference should
pledge itself to adhere "to the teaching
of Jesus Christ concerning marriage"
was lost.

4 Boston--Threats of q ducking in the
river may be an effective method of
compelling children to learn their
Bible, but it does not meet the APP
prevail of the Massachusetts, Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children. Agents of the society have
recently. induced a western Massauchu-
sets mother to adopt more approved
educational methods.
Investigators sent out in response to
protests from neighbors learned that
it was the woman's custom when any
of the children failed to give strict
attention to Bible study, to place the
offender in a burlap bag, throw it over
her shoulder and march down to the
river bank. Dangling the bag over the
cold water with threats of immersion
usually brought quick acquiescence in
her demand for closer perusal of the
commandments and beatitudes.
The plan apparently had been in OPP

of the older children in the large
family were found to be able to re-
cite long passages of Scripture with
out hesitation.
1t was the application of the potato
bag treatment to the youngest member
of the family four-year old, that
resulted in the system being brought
to the attention of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
No court action would be taken, of
fcials said, SO long as the mother kept
her agreement not to repeat the per
formance.s

Spectators Grab
Fake Movie Money
GullibIe Investors During 1920 Were
Parted from $5O,OOO,OOO in
Movie Stock.

New York-Fake movie stock gobbled
up $5O,0OO,000 from gullible investors
during 1920, says report by the Ma
tional Association of the Motion Pict-
ure industry, which has a vigilance
committee trying to stamp out promo
tiers of wildcat film companies.
Hundreds of such companies, often
organized by men who did not even
know the difference between a cut
back and closeup, not to mention the
the distinction between an ordinary
platonic kiss and the lingering fade
away, were trumpeted by stock sales
men who pointed to great fnaicial
achievements by we'll known film max
ers as an assurance that investors
would soon receive gobs of dividend
checks, the report indicated.
But the investigating committee dis
covered that most of these wildcat
schemes died without leaving foot Of
film to posterity. 1t then started a
campaign of warning to the public.
This, the association claims, has
been successful.
"The danger of this sort of invest
ment has been called to the public's
attention with such force" its state
ment said, chat very few if any new
producing companies have attempted to
sell stock within the past six months"

Mexico to Have
Farming Exhibit
Mexican Government Opens It's First
Permanent Agricultural Exhibit
in United States.
lRv Associated Pressl

Los Angeles-The Mexican govern
ment has opened here it's first perman-
emit agricultural exhibit in the United
States. 1t consists of display of Mex
lean products gathered from all sec
of the republic and fills an en-
.,oor of a downtown office build
ing.
The exhibit was designed to appeal
to the prospective investor in Mexico,
Connected with the display which IS
similar to the exhibits of chamber of
commerce, are officials to furnish in
formation to those contemplating start
ing business with or in Mexico. The
exhibit was put in through Samuel. G..
Vazquez, with the Mexican Department
of Agriculture and Development.
The move is announced as an evil
dence of Mexico's determination to
redeem herself as a great productive
nation and as one of the first steps in
the Obregon administration program
of the United States and to call atten-
tion to Mexico as land Of commercial
opportunities and promise.
"The average American has the
wrong conception of the Mexican peo-
pie" says Mr.. Vazquez, who recently
returned to Los Angeles following a
two years tour through his native land.
"To him the Mexican is the villain
of the motion picture screen, and he
attributes all the defects and vices of
that character to the entire race. The
Mexican thinks that the citizen of the
United States is man with but one
aim in life-chasing the almighty dol
lar.
ct is most unfortunate that the two
countries could not have been more I'M
derstanding neighbors, but this is now
being overcome by the honest desire of
both to unite in closer commercial
bonds.
Mexico is once more on her feet.
Peace has been attained. Today we
are working hard to make up for the
time lost during the ten year revolu-
ton. The people of Mexico are re-
uniting to reconstruct the country.
Opportunity is now given to competent
citizens of our republic, which is at
tracing more capital than any other
nation has ever received.
1.-THE great influx of foreign invest
ors is due to the changing sentiment
toward our country which is becoming
more marked every day."
