srExIco's ADMINISTRATIONS.

Just g year ago today President Obre- sun took up the reins of government in Mexico. SO that it is quite natural that there should be disposition to expa- tate upon the accomplishments which have been made in the republic to the south during the past twelve months.
 No attempt Is made by the friends of Che administration to claim that Mexico under Obregon has recovered entirely from the effects of it's long period of internal strife. that it has put into ef- feet all the desirable reforms. that t has reacted in every respect as was hoped for 70 the Obregon influences or that all that was desired during the first year Of the present administration has been accomplished
 Thoso who have been in Mexico and those who have watched it from the out ids are bound to admit that progress In the much desired direction has been made. Conditions there were bad enough before the long years of revolu- ton. But they were made much worse as the result of the strife and the en- couragement which was given to law lessness thereby. Attention is, how ever. directed by the reports sent out from Mexico City to the improvement which has been made in the railroad sys- tenn, Go the expansion of the nationa' sdueation system. to the reduction in the federal army and to the improve nent in the financial situation in the country. all of which are important and vsrs much needed. but the efforts to- ward reconstruction only empha size the fact that is bound to take more than one or two yes-B to do for Mexico what is required.

RAID1NG THE PATENT OFFICE.

It has been the experience of business houses and industries that when it be- came impossible to pay such salaries as would retain the services of some If their most valued employees it has been necessary to part with them to others who could afford to pay more, or per haps to see them take some political or government job
 There have also been instances where valued public officials have been drawn away from such duties into private bus mess because of larger remuneration and more certain employment Big cor porations arc constantly looking for the best and they draw upon those needed and who can qualify, wherever they may be found.
 Just at the present time the govern ment patent office Is laboring under diff ficuties because more than half of the examiners have resigned within ess than three years because the salary was not such that they could afford to turn down other offers Men who have had experience fin patent work are much sought by various large concerns and the maximum salary of the patent examiner | IS s-fNU. anu NfEn IL sS CONSlOtFeu INdt i they are required to have educations ! that will permit them to pass examina- i tions in higher mathematics. intricate | drawings of machinery. civil, electrical l and mechanical engineering chemical | formulas, German and French. 1t can | be appreciated that the holding power | of the examiners salary is not what t

READ YOUR CHARACTER

FIiahty Writing

Handwriting in which the loops ex- tend upward or downward from one line to another, often crossing through another word, is not at all uncommon. The chances are that anybody who searches his correspondence file will find some of it.
 It denotes a trait of character which also is not a bit uncommon. It denotes what most people thing the gigGle de- notes. but which the giggle does not at a1i.- It denotes ''flighty' nature.
 Writers of such hands nearly always are lacking in pOise. That is an ob vious characteristic upon which you can easily check up with moments thought or ordinary observation.
 You'll make a mistake if you de- pend Upon them too implicitly, for they have that habit so irritating to the rest of us, of changing their minds upon a moments notice.

THE DAILY ACCIDENT LIST.

New York's chapter of highway ac- cldents on Monday cannot fail to cause q due amount of reflection upon the part of those who are likely to become in- volved in similar circumstances. It was not solely because they occurred in the metropolis that they command more attention than elsewhere, but because of the growing need of exercising care and pedestrians in the use of streets and highways under any. and all con- ditiors
 Four were killed and ten were in- jured in auto accidents in and near New York on Monday. It was rainy day which in itself called for a greater de- gree of care visibility being decrea sed and pavements being treacherous, while people carrying umbrellas were handi- capped as If they had binders.
 A sedan crashed into the rear of | truck that was standing in the street overturned and caused the death of one and injuries to others,
 4 woman was killed when a machine struck q gatepost at Q railroad crossing and others were injured. The driver tl3u Dttn TeDealSuly AShSu lO uIlNe SIOW CT by the woman killed but gave no heed.
 Another woman carried an umbrella so that she did not see an approaching auto and was knocked down and almost instantly killed.
 4 truck driver got out to fix his tall light when another truck crashed into him, Dinning his against his own truck and causing his death.
 An cd man was lit by skidding car and received injuries from which he will probably die.
 Manslaughter and reckless driving were charged against two of the driv- CTS, but it Is to be realized that in all of the cases there appears to have been the probability that had there been more attention given to the known hazards of the highway. to safety rather than to speed. to the protection of self and the prevention of accidents there would have been no such list of fatalities. Those who drive autos and those who cross streets must realize that they have responsibilities to others as we'll as to themselves.
