been reading compliment and criticism

and a string or two of a net that the

One of the sirens Is so twined about bis

pressed against her floating ribs. and

SEEKS NEW PROCEDURE
Use of "Amparo" Restricted in Bill Which Mexican Government VIII Present to Congress.

Mexico City, Oct, s1.-Use of the "amparo" as legal recourse in Mex leo Is to be restricted in bill which the government intends to present to congress. Abuse of the measure ts the reason. President Obregon re- gently declared that in many instances persons arrested have already pro- vided themselves with an "amparo' which secures their immediate re- lease without bail"
 The "amparo" is one of the most generally used and at the same time the most complex procedures to be found in Mexican courts. It isa sort of injunction and writ of habea, corpus combined, and Is employed either to restrain a court from act ing or to secure the release of a pris- oner from custody Attorneys here admit that an exact definition of the word is impossible. and point to tho fact that books have been written about it, with it's specific meaning and origin still obscure.

 MT. oiin expressed the belief that if the people of a city knew more about their community they would work all the harder to make 1t . bet ter place to live. in. He said many people do not appreciate what the schools are for, what the municipal buildings stand for or what the city \ has to offer them.
 MT. Olin said that the only way to get local people interested in this city was to sell New Britain to New Britain people" He later explained how he would % about doing this sort of work.

 After the book was published, MT. Olin said that he would see that every that the project was properly exploit ed In the newspapers and that the book was utilized to build up the community.
 The speaker also asserted that he would ask the mAnufacturers to give the Chamber of Commerce the names of any new employees who might be taken in by concern and in turn have the Chamber of Commerce give the names to every merchant in the city 70 that they could send a repre- tentative to call on the new resident and explain to him the benefits to be u"IiFeu uS SHoPpih8 III tHls city.
