Answers to Questions

E. r. C.-Who are the Zapotecs of
Mexico and what about them?
The Zapotecs are the Indians of
Southern Mexico, occupying the great
er part of the state of Oajaca and ex
tending into Guerro. Before the Span
ish Conquest they formed a powerful
nation and in culture and in war-like
prowess were not inferior to the Az
tees, whom they successfully resisted
in several invasions. Their political
system seems to have been a tribal
federation. The constructed buildings
of stone and mortar; subsisted mainly
by agriculture: had a complicated my
thology and offered human sacrifices
TO their idols. Their system of num-
| Grafton, calendar and many of their
rites and customs resemble those of
the Nehuatl tribes; but their language
was distinct. In war they use cotton
armor. Militia and other similar ruins
! in their territory were regarded by
| them as the tombs of their ancestors
The Zapotecs were conquered by the
| Spaniards in 1922 to 1926 After tran
silent revolts in 1881 and 1850 they
submitted to missionary influence and
they are now a peaceful people, la
borious part Of the Mexican popula-
ton. They are frequently placed in
positions of trust in the government
and attain much success in the work
The celebrated President Juarez was a
pure blooded Zapotec. They are esti-

PEAK Of DEMAND

Company Official Says Let
Up Will Not Come Until
1t Is Universal.

The peak OF the demand for autD-
mobiles is still in the distant future.
There are 100000 automobiles in &C
tual service today, but, in the opinion
of economists, the saturation point
will not be reached until there are
90, 600. 900 motor ears in daily service,
carrying people and products back
and forth, providing the convenience
and comfort and quick transportation
which the American people demand.
There can be no iet-up in the de-
Inand for automobiles until the motor
car has become practically universal"
is the opinion of Walter G.. Davis. Sec
retary and sales manager Of the Davis
Motor Car Company. THE American
people will have 1t no other way. In
the past two decades the automobile
has beceme too vitality part of our
everyday life, and Its sphere of serv-
ice is constantly widening.
Net Incomes More.
"In the past seventeen years the net
income of the American people has
risen from 1.500, 100000 to more than
$4,000. 100000 q year! Who can say
how largely the motor car has con-
tributed to this vast increase in our
national earning power?
THE motor car has replaced mill
lions of horse-drawn vehicles. And
it has repla ced them with transporta-
ton of a vastly superior sort. The
motor car has given us new stand

business. new opportunities for self
development, for recreation and for
the creation of wealth.

GETTING INTO A PROFITABLE
a# ~ aa CAME

An Alaskan gold mining company
is engaged in remodeling its plant Tor

pulp for paper. Profits in gold pro-
duction are too meagre.
On ore the possible profit is less
than a dollar the ton. Profits in pa
per have risen to as high as $50 a ton,
Takes pretty smart gold mine TO peat
that!
Times change. The paper industry
was developed to supply the printing
and publishing industry. Along with
it grew the modest wrapping paper
industry, an admitted necessity. wrap
ping paper was largely made from
waste and reuse materials, straw, etc.
The use of paper in other lines mas IN
creased until now it is said there are
1900 distinct articles manufactured
in this country from paper. OF this
great output three-fourths of the raw
material must come from the same
source as that of the newspapers. Box
and carton manufacturers use three
times the material required for the
newspapers.
Some genius a few years ago dis
covered that there was enough Indian
left in the majority of us to pay three
prices for our food, drugs, etc., if they
were packed in gaudy, expensive look
ing packages. "-.
So the paper situation has come to
be controlled by this big demand,
which cares little about the price.
While the newspapers struggle for
their very lives, under present pric-
es. the consumer continues to buy
wasteful packages, and growl about
the high cost of living.
Cheap paper built this well known
republic nothing else could have
done it. It is dangerous to tamper
with the only raw material possible
for the printing and publishing inter-
ests. -.
And when we are both numbering
the press and paying needlessly high
prices for the foolish decoration, it
would seem that the fool-killer is over
due.
