Mexican Senator Is Visitor Here,
 Announces Student Exchange Plan

chairman of the Mexican committee.
 It is the desire of the Mexican government that so far as possible teachers be selected for the Mexican scholarships, with the thought that they are better able to grasp the Ideals of the Mexican people as ex- pressed in their literature, language, personal conduct and general cus- toms. and that havng assimilated this intimate knowledge of the Mexi- can people the American teacher will return to this country in bet ter position than anyone else to give an accurate portrayal of the Mexican government, its country and it's people.
 The scholarships in the United States will be limited to agriculture, engineerings and medicine, as 1t is the thought of the Mexican republic that these professions should be es- pecially stressed in the new program of national advancement
 Senator Villalobos presented his plan to Governor Campbell. who gave it a strong endorsement and warm assurances that he would do every thing within his power to make 1t a success in this state, and to this end would personally take up the matter with the president of the state uni- versity and the two normal schools.
 Senator Villalobos goes from here to California for a conference with Governor Stephens on the same sub ject, and later to Utah, Nevada and Colorado on like missions.
 Incidentally the senator took ad- vantage of his visit here to investf- gate the Roosevelt dam project and also the proposed Colorado River Basin project in which Governor Campbell is the leading spirit as president of the League of the South west He is deeply interested in irri- gation and reclamation, as this con- stitutes one of the problems now be- fore the Mexican government, the solution of which will bring under intensive cultivation vast areas of arid lands Incidentally. as the Colo rado river during it's journey to the Gulf of California passes through Mexican territory. the rights of that country in the stream will at no distant day become question for in ternational settlement.

CAREFUL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ID BE
 FEATURE OF CAMPS

Emphasis will be placed by the war department on the physical examina- tion of candidates for the citizens military training camps to be con- ducted this summer throughout the country. These examinations win be made as thorough as possible, in order to determine the ability of the can didate to undergo the training. and to discover slight physical defects which may be corrected by proper measures in the camps. and a contin- uance if necessary by the candidates after the camps are closed.
 Studies of the draft statistics made in the office of the surgeon general show that every year nearly 100000 youths attain their majority with physical defects which, if permitted to go uncorrected. will impair their efficiency and usefulness in later life. To the casual observer. however. the vast majority of these youths appear to be physically normal. Examina- tions at the summer training camps will disclose physical defects in the youth, who will be informed as to what measure should be taken for the correction.
 Medical officers at the training camps who discover a youth with poorly developed chest. weak back Idiicn arcneS, or Iaulty Hfdnnef or walking. will immediately advise cor rective measures Major General Merritt W. Ireland. surgeon general of the army. believes that the fol- lowing benefits wil laccrue in the ex- animation and training in these camps:
 Improvement in general physical development as a result of teaching and actually demonstrating the im-
 
 hours. good food, regular exercise and proper posture.
 Detection and cure. or at least correction, of many obscure and la tent pathological conditions which would prove a decided handicap to the youth in his daily life.
 sInstruction in sanitation and per sonal hygiene acquired by both pre- cept and practice in camp. and It's eventual influence upon the home and community life of the individual.

LITTLE CHANGE IN
 GENERAL SITUATION
 $. F. BANK REPORTS

Leo Weaver, secretary of the Build ers' Exchange, has received the fol- lowing report from the American Ma tionaI bank of San Francesca:
 While no definite trend for better or worse has appeared in the busi- ness situation during the past month. certain events have transpired which give encouragement for the future. First in importance was the defeat of the British miners attempt to na- tionalize the coal industry of that country by means of a strike. Close ly following this event was the de- cision of the United States Railway Labor board abrogating the national agreements which were made dnring the closing weeks of the federal ad- ministration. thus giving recognition to the fact that railroad workers are no longer the employees of national railroad system, but hold their jobs under the many separate. companies which provide their pay. This de- cision is believed to have paved the way for substantial reductions of op- erating expenses.
 Tn other respects the month has been marked by little changes in the general situation Price declines ~OhAS4AthN, 0al Mittt aOatiii6 Hiul46l tunn. The credit situation shows more signs of improvement, dlIe in part to liquidation of loans and in part to importations of gold. Exports have declined sharply and there is an in crease in the number of unemployed. owing in part to the closing down Of many large copper interests.
 The production of gold in the Unit ed States has fallen to a low fig ure. yet the metal appears to be com ing in from all parts of the world Since the beginning of the year the net imports of gold amount to $780, 900. 100000 and the movement con- tinues. The upward course of ex- change rates is no doubt due to these gold shipments.
 Greater availability and efficiency of labor may be one of the causes for an increase of building operations re- ported in March. Reports to Brad streets from 155 leading cities show the total estimated building for which permits were issued in March as az gregating SIS, 436,947, as compared with SS0,2 .S57 for the same cities in February, and $145,923,7 ,799 for the months of March in 1920. Comment ing on the building situation, con struction expert writes:
 Labor at this time is greatly in- creasing its efficiency and output, so that it may be said that labor is 20 per cent more efficient today than it was nine months ago. This, of course. is due to the law of sup ply and demand and there are many men available for every job offered at this time.'
 Materials entering into the large buildings with the exception of lum- Der, have not quite reached the low est level to which they will ultimate ly go, but how soon this will be ac- complished we are not able to fore tell. There have been reductions in plumbing goods. in electrical goods and in some sheet iron and copper. but aside from that the basic mate rials such as rock. sand. gravel. brick and steel have not been greatly re- duced.n
 The bank adds that the agricultural outlook is good, farmers have had rains and the stock ranges are good. Business is coming in in satisfactory volume also.

EUROPEAN TOURS GREATEST YEAR
 FOR VOYAGING

This will be the banner year for voyages to Europe. All travelling records are in a fair way to be broken The present business depres- sion will have no effect on the tourist side of steamship activities It -a.h- CT looks as if many people are going to cross the ocean to get away from dull times Already the demand for accommodations is very heavy, but there are more ships to carry pas sengers this year than were available during the great rush last spring and summer
 Book Early" is the advice given at all the offices of the Cunard tire throughout the country. The com pany has no less than 12 steamers in the North Atlantic service, Five of these are great liners-the "Aqus- tania.' the "Berengaria" (former,y the "Imperator'), the "Maureta nj l, 5 still the fleetest ship on the ocean, and the sister ships. "Caronia" and "Carmania These steamers will te supplemented by a fleet of smaller vessels. including the Albania The new one class steamer, the "Saxoaia. recently re.conditioned, and the Gu nard- Anchor liners "Cameronia, ? which will make her maiden trip in May; the Algeria" popularly known as the marble ship" because of her public rooms being lined with mar ble; the columbia we'll known to voyagers between New York, London derry and Glasgow, and the 'Assyria, , now being prepared to make her first trip under the Anchor line flag. Ill addition tine new Cunarders "Scythia" and ~Tyrrienia" may be completed n time for tie summer rush. If so, they will be immediately placed in con mission
 Accommodations on all the lines ships are being rapidly booked for all the spring and summer sailings, and while good rooms are still avail able it is expected that the books for the various sailings will soon be- gin to close, and the rush season from the middle cf May until the end of July will find many applicants for accommodations eastward doomed to disappointment. This is especially so on the great "Aquitania," and the .Berengaria" formerly the "Imper- ator'') nov the largest British stearl- ship, has great and growing follow ing. and $ expected to sail filled 10 capacity on every trip from the mid lle of May on.

 The "Mauretania," which arrived in New York in April after a six months oSerhauling and re-condi- tioning, is another ocean giant that is always in great demand. She is still the queen of the seas in regard to speed, and it is an open question if a more beautiful ship has ever be sn

W|CKENBURG BRIDGE
 n BE bEGUNAT ONCE

Immediate starting of construction of the wickenburg bridge by the Al lied Contractors, Incorporated, was arranged yesterday by the Arizona highway department.
 The foundations for this work were to be built by the state forces and the superstructure by the Allied Con- tractors. Shortage of funds com pelled the stoppage of this work last fall. It was expected that the work could be re started upon the passage of the bill refunding the $200,000 freight costs, by the Arizona legfs- lature, which, contrary to the action of most of the other western states, did not appropriate funds for secur- ing federal equipment.
 This depleted the available funds in the highway department so this work could not be re- started until the first of July, until arrangements were made with the Allied Contrac- tors to take over this foundation work in addition to the superstruc- ture and carry this construction until additional federal, funds are available.
 The state equipment and material assembled at Wickenburg will be used by the contractors who are ex- pected to ship & crew or meH run Leupp, Arizona, where they recently constructed bridge across the Little Colorado.
 This action of the highway depart ment is possible only because of the approval of the Maricopa county board of supervisors who were very desirous of seeing this bridge com pleted, not only for the benefit of the travelling public, but in order to carry on as much construction work at this time as possible

A splendid opportunity for Arizona teachers and others to obtain a first hand and practical insight into the language, laws and customs of Mexi- co Is contained in the announce ment issued yesterday by Senor Gu- marc ]fllalobos, who comes here as & special personal representative of President Alvaro Obregon. Free scholarships to the number of 30 will be provided at the higher institutions of learning in Mexico as part of a program of interchange with the educational institutions of the United States according to the announce ment. Details of the plan were laid before Governor Campbell and met with his unqualified approbation.
 Senor Villalobos is a member of the Mexican parliament. representing the state of Jalisco. and is rated as one movement which is now going for ward under the leadership of the newly elected president. He has taken keen interest in educational matters and is firm believer in the doctrine that a better mutual under standing between the United States and Mexico can be brought about more surely and quickly through edu- eational means than through any other medium.
 The inter educational idea, says Eenor VillaIobos, will most certainly bring to each country better un- der standing of the aims and ideals of the other; and with it a mutual growing confidence and respect. This can be obtained only through Amer leans studying Mexico in Mexico, and vice versa
 As it's part of the program the Mexican government, Senor yillalo- bos has announced. has made definite Arrangements for partly financing 50 scholarships These scholarships will lake the form of fellowships, which means that sufficient sum will be Advanced by the Mexican govern ment to cover the expenses of the student This arrangement should not be mistaken for charity. however. as under it the student is expected to repay the money when he is finan- cially able to do so. American col- leges, on the other hand, in sym pathy with the plan. have offered 100 scholarships.
 The details for the interchange of students are being worked out by three committees. The American committee Is headed by Will A. Peairs. vice president of the Cham berlaip Medicine College of Des Moines Iowa, and initiator of the plan: F. ". Teele, manager of the Mexico City Light and Power com Pany.

SPEEDERS AND AUTO
 LAW v|O[ATORS ARE
 HARD HIT IN COURTS

Automobile drivers who violated the motor and speed laws were hard hit during the month of April, ac- cording to records of the two justice courts in Phoenix. The records show that . 3otal of $S35 in fines was im- poseds and collected in April. The n,ajirity of the fines were levied for violations of the speed laws, and the motor laws. A few were levied for other misdemeanors, such as simple assault.
 The records of Justice Sullivan's court show that in April a. total of $700 in fines was imposed, as com pared to a total of $95 in January. $77 in February and $127 in March. Of the $700 in fines imposed by Jus tice Sullivan, about $500 represents fines for reckless driving and driv- ing an automobile while intoxicated
 The records of Justice McKee's court show that $135 in fines was imposed in April, $36 in January, $70 in February and $10o in March. No cases of reckless driving or driving while intoxicated were in Justice McKee's court during the month.
 According to statements by the justices, the reason for the increased amount of fines in Aprfl Is that they have ceased to give suspended fines to violators of the speed and motor laws. as in the past. No more sus- pended fines will be given, they said, with the exception of a few cases where a suspended fine is warrantd.

SAYS STATE CAN'T GIVE GUARANTEE TO
 BANK DEPOS|TORs

Correcting the erroneous impte sion that the state plans to guara1 tee deposits in the Central Bank any other bank, Charles W. Fah field. state superintendent Of bank issued a formal statement yesterda
 In setting forth the fact that H zona has no state bank guaranty la MT Fairfield took occasion to point out the relation of his department to the banks of the state and what 5nris- diction he has in the matter of pro- lection.
 Tn discussing the matter yesterd s1A he said that depositors who delayzx ' signing the agreement under Bhicl3 the bank plans to resume business works hardship on themselves as well as other depositors
 His statement follows:
 At a meeting held at the Shrine temple on April 23. a statement was made by Hon. R. E. Sloan that should the bank reopen with the approval of this department it would in effect amount to state guarantee of deposits. This statement I tried to refute in my remarks immediately following Judge Sloan. but there still appears to be some misapprehension fin connection with the matter.
 Arizona has no state bank guar anty law and the superintendent of banks is of course powerless to as- sume law-making prerogatives- The only guarantee that this department can make is that the bank will not be allowed to reopen unless the plan submitted and worked out meets with the departments absolute approval, also the guarantee to all interested in the bank. whether stockhoider or de- positor, that the department will keep in very close touch with the affairs of the institution through frequent re- ports and examinations and will guarantee that there will be no di- version of the banks assets, and that primarily the rights of the depositor will be protected in every way pos- sib1e."
