Isn't there something new under the
sun, in spite Of the proverb? Any
way, that Is the sort Of school
that has been going on at Evanston.
H.. right In the vacation days OF
summer.
Moreover, this National Secretarial
school is believed to be a project Of
far-reaching importance in the bust
ness and civic life of the country.
John Ihlder, manager Of the civic de-
velopment department Of the Chamber
of Commerce Of the United States,
speaking for himself and for Presi-
dent Joseph H. Defrees. puts the stu
alton like this:
"The American business man today
stands in position Of greater respon-
sibility and greater opportunity than
ever before in our history, for we are
becoming predominantly an urban and
a business nation. His responsibility
cannot be discharged, his opportunity
met by individuals acting separately
they must organize. The character
and purpose Of the business mans Or
ganizations therefore are Of first Inn
portance to the nation. Not only must
they be publlc-spirited and propose to
serve constantly and definitely the
common interests Of their community,
but In order that they may so serve
they must know that good intentions
alone never produce results.
1.-THE effectiveness Of commercial
or trade association depends In large
| measure on the secretary. AS he In
creases In knowledge and understand
ing, not only Of his own business tech
niQue and Of his local field, but of
the general principles that underlie
and affect all business and civic In
terests, he will become increasingly
valuable to his organization and to
American business generally.
1.-The National School for Commercial
Organization Secretaries will give to
these men in a short time what II
would take years for them to learn In
dividually, and will In addition give
them a sense Of their common problems
and responsibilities which can be SO.

senting many communities studying

able leadership"
President r. B. Beach Of the Ma.
tional Association Of Commercial Or
ganization Secretaries sees in the at
tendance of nearly 200 real demand
and real field of service for the train
| ing course. He says:
"It will create a sound, practical
basis for chamber Of commerce service
as a result Of which the cham
bers of commerce of this country may
expect the highest efficiency and com.
potency In business administration
and In the execution of their varied
activities"

are no hearses or flneral process
sicns in Mexico, according to George
Howe, formerly of this city, who is
here on business. He is in the un-
dertaking business now in Mexico
city.
1.-The street car company gets all
the funeral business" says Mr..
Howe. THE coffin is placed on
the platform of a flat car, in Mex
leo, and behind the platform is
coupled the regular street car and
the trailer in which the relatives
and friends ride.
-Four men in uniform called
mosos, carry the ccffin to the grave
where a short service Is held. Ser
vices are very brief, and few people
attend the funeral. Only two men
in Mexico City do embalming, be-
cause the law requires embalmers
to be q graduate of the National
School of Medicine. No fee is set,
but the charge of embalming is
based on what the family is worth,
"The undertakers are really car
penters; they only make and handle
offins. If a cheap coffin is bought,
one mosos carries it through the
street on his head, to the house of
the dead and leaves it at the front
door. The relatives of the dead
dress the body and place it in the
coffin.
"If an expensive coffin is pur-
chased, two or more mosos carry
the coffin, leaving it at the house
where the body is. -
After the body is placed in the
coffin, the street car comes to the
nearest point to the house, and
from there four mosos carry 1t to
the carline."
The only piece Of land in Mexico
owned by the United States gov
ernment is the American cemetery
about ten acres OF land on
the outskirts of Mexico City, Mr..
Howe said. "No American can be
arrested by the Mexican officials
while he is in this cemetery" he
l am here to buy a
hearse, casket and other funeral
and we expect shortly to
be runningsa hearse in competition
with the street car company.

Weather officials held out no
hope for relief tomorrow, the fore
cast being for further heavy rains.
The precipitation at Tacoma from
Saturday morning to noon today
measured five inches. At Belling-
ham three inches of rain fell In
ten hours. and the fall was con-
tinuing.
Warm weather helped the rains
bring down snow water from the
hills. At Stampede, the highest
point on the Northern Pacific line,
the thermometer registered 20 de-
grees today and trainmen said
most of the snow had vanished
from the west side of the Cas-
cades.
Inundation of a large area was
feared as the result Of a jam Of
flotsam behind wreckage of a
Northern Pacific train in the Mil
Ter river, and workmen were busy
trying to remove the wreckage be-
fore the river was damned up
enough to crash through the jam
suddenly and send dangerous
body of water to overflow nearby
farm lands. Two lives were lost
when the train plunged through
the bridge, weakened by the
floods.
In the Grays Harbor region,
flood conditions were said to be
the worst in years. Near Aberdeen
four persons were killed and sew
eral injured in two logging railway
accidents caused by landslides.

PROTECTION FOR
FIBRE INDUSTRY
URGED, OPPOSED
(By The Associated Press,

Washington, Dec. 12.-Additional
tariff protection for the American
grass and fiber making and flax
growing industries was urged and
opposed today before the senate
finance committee.
III. A. Dammeyer and F. r. Car
lsparthen, OF New York, speaking
for the rug manufacturers, de-
clared that the American market
was being flooded with Japanese
grass and fiber rugs under a low
tariff with the result that the
American industry was being seri-
ously injured. They asked for a
rate of SO cents per square yard on
imported grass and fiber rugs.
Opposing any increase in the
tariff duties on these rugs, was j. M
Macdonald, of New York, repro
septing the Assc ciation->of Import
ers and Distributors Of Japanese
Floor Coverings.
Senator Ladd, of North Dakota,
in urging protection for the flax
growing industry, said this indus
try had not flourished because it
never had received real protec-
ton" Robert Parbcut, of Pater-
son, N j., speaking for manufac-
turers of linen thread, testified that
the reason the industry could not
flourish was that American living
standards were much higher than
those in other flaX-growing coun-
tries.

HORSES COMING BACK

By The Associated Press. J

Chicago, Dec. 12.-The horse Is
coming back in the big cities, ac-
cording to Wirth S. Durham. Of
Wayne, H., president of the Horse
Association Of America.
There has been a tremendous
change in public opinion in favor
of the horse" Mr.. Dunham said.
Chicago is using 1000 more than
last year. Philadelphia shows an
increase OF rs per cent, and in
New York also the horse has made
gains"

cago's department stores, showed

The president Of the horse asso-
citation called attention to needs of
the horse in road building. "In the
east the good roads system is get
ting to improvement of local roads,"
he said, "and roads are being put
in without. reference to the horse.
No provision is made for him on
the side of the hard surface. The
position of the horse in agriculture
as form of power and source of
pleasure demands that some atten-
tion be given him on the roads"
There is great need for pro-
duction of better horses, Mr. Dun
ham noted.

| pleted resources" DR.. Frank f..
Mera, head of the Sunmount sana-
torium here, is president Of the
institution and Robert w. Lynn is
cashier. Its capital is $4,000 and
it's surplus is $4,000.
There is a statutory provision in
New Mexico restricting the state
deposits in any single institution to
75 per cent of it's capital and sur
plus. That would have allowed
about $4S,000 to remain In the
Santa Fe bank. 1t had, however.
about $367000 in state money, the
great bulk Of which came from
the checking account of the state
treasurer.
The checking account OF the
treasurer was about $263,000. His
stationary account was S43,500, in
round numbers. The certificate OF
deposit which he had totaled
$356,500 from the treasurer. The
total deposits in the bank reached
S667, 900.
This fund was safeguarded by a
$4,000 surety bond, a 100000
personal bond from the directors
of the bank, and s2S0,000 in notes
and mortgages, totaling 100000.
OF other state officials the land
office had $1,000 secured by a
$4,000 surety bond. The attorney
general had about $3.50, the secre-
tary of state about $4,000, the au-
ditor slightly less than $4,000, AMI
the attorney general under $500.
The total of state funds was
slightly over $367,000.
There was no demonstration in
Santa Fe today over the closing OF
the bank. A few depositors came
and saw the sign but paid no great
attention TO it. There was no run
on the other Santa Fe banks, since
it is known that both are entirely
solvent.
Governor M. C. Mechem stated
that the state deposits in the bank
have been reduced 40 per cent since
he took office. That would indi-
cate total on January of this
year of 100000. Mr.. Strong. state
treasurer, also indica ted that they
had been reduced. although he did
not specify the amount.
If the deposits exceed the state
law. it is possible that the bond of
Strong may be liable. He
is under bend for $1,S00,000. 1t is
possible that the amount over $4S,-
600 which the treasurer deposited
in the Santa Fe bank may be re-
covered in that manner.

Arms Conference Attacks
Problems With An I'M
petus That Scores Ad.
vanCes; Viviani to Sail.
By The Associated Press,

Washington, Dec. IL (by the
Associated Press) The arms con-
ference renewed the attack on Its
problems today with an impetus
that scored advances.
Among the days accomplish
ments was a new treaty agreement
by which the United States and
japan finally settled the Yap con-
troversy on a basis insuring Amer
lean cable and wireless privileges.
In the naval ratio negotiations,
the naval "Big Three" again came
into consultation with growing in
dications that the American 5-5-3
plan would be accepted when an
accompanying agreement could be
reached on Pacific Notifications.
The four power treaty for pre-
serving peace in the Pacific was
put into final official form and
plans were made to have it signed
at II a. m. tomorrow by American,
British, Japanese and French dele
gates.
In the senate. the group oppos-
Ing ratification of the quadruple
agreement fired their first guns.
Senators Borah. republican. Idaho,
and Reed. democrat. Missouri, led
the attack. Several other senators
defended the treaty.
In the Far Eastern discussions
also, progress was made, the nine
participating nations agreeing fin
ally on withdrawal of foreign post
offices from China by January l
1923.
So encouraging was the days
work that the principal delegates
were stimulated in their hope that
the real work of the conference
would end by the close of the year,
Rene Viviani. of France, arranged
to leave next Wednesday, and prac-
tieally all of the British announced
plans to sail on December 81.
Preparations to expedite some Of
the remaining work Of detail were
made today by organization Of a
new naval subcommittee Of fif-
teen.

MASS MEETING

There will be a mass
meeting of the citizens of
Albuquerque held in the
Y. M. c. A. gymnasium at
500 this evening to de-
eide whether the hotel
project shall go forward
to completion or b e
abandoned.
This meeting is very
likely to settle the fate of
Albuquerque during 1922.
Those present probably
will vote either to go for
ward with the project or
TO abandon it. There is
little to be gained by
allowing the matter to
drag.
A vote to 60 forward,
followed by a successful
campaign, will mean that
we enter 1922 with the
liquor of success tingling
in our veins. To abandon
the project will mean a
surrender to our environ
ment, a weakening of our
will to win for Albu-
querque.
Every enterprise Of
1922 will feel the effect
of the decision made to-
night. Every citizen will
feel the elation of success
or the depression of de-
feat.
If your personality is to
leave any impression on
the community in which
you live, you should be
there tonight and vote
your best judgment.
Lounging coats and
slippers are comfortable
things, but they never
build cities. Come tonight.

Washington. Dec. 12.-The SEN
late got its first taste today of the
promised fight on the new four
power Pacific treaty. The pact was
both denounced and defended
Pra ctically all of the new treaty
was read into the record in advance
of formal submission.
The attack came from two "irre-
Econcilables" in the Versailles cove
nant controversy, Senators Borah,
republican, Idaho, and Reed, demo-
crat, Missouri. Mr.. Borah de-
voted his attention to "article two"
of the new treaty, which he COM
covenant. He declared that the
treaty compelled the conference to
make real disarmament" an
|actuality or make the treaty Il
straight out military alliance"
He explained his attitude toward
the treaty would be governed to an
extent by progress of the confer
ence toward real disarmament"
and settlement of Chinese ques-
|tions. The conferences work, he
said, would be "discouraging' If It
adjourned without barring, by the
treaty, use of submarines, poison
ous gases and other barbarous
weapons Of warfare.
Defense Of the pact, conducted
largely by Senator Poindexter, re-
publican, Washington, resulted in
the opening of the question of what
obligations were entailed on the
United states by the new agree
ment.
Senator Poindexter said that ar
ticle two could not be construed as
the equivalent OF article ten.
Senator Reed said Senator Poin-
dexter's statement meant that the
new treaty was worth little as
binding agreement
Mr.. Borah said he regarded the
moral obligations of article two as
compelling the use Of force as
strongly as did article ten OF the
league, and in this he was sup
ported by Senator Robinson. DEM
ocrat, Arkansas.

SENATOR ROBINSON,
DEMOCRAT, OPPOSES
NEW 4-POWER PACT

Washington, Dec. IL (by the
Associated Press.) - The new
four-power Pacific treaty was
criticised in a statement issued
today by Senator Robinson,
democrat of Arkansas, who
said the new pact would take
the United States into the
league of nations through a
+ rear door"
'The treaty substitutes for
the Anglo-Japanese alliance a
league or alliance, between the
United States. France, Japan
and Great Britain" he said.
Japan rejoices in the ar
rangement because of this fact.
First study inclines me to be-
lieve that it affords a means
for relieving the tension be-
tween the United States and
Japan. The treaty will back
us through the rear door into
the outer chamber of the
league of nations-a sorry en-
trance - for under article
eighteen OF the league cove
nant, France, England and
Japan are obligated to file the
document with the secretary of
the league"
