SCHOOL LUNCHES
IN DALLAS BRING
HEAVY RECEIPTS

Dallas, Texas-Annual receipts
from lunch rooms maintained at
more than thirty public schools il
Dallas total from $3.50, 900 TO $780,
600, according to Superintendent J.
F. Kimball. Beginning with the
lunch room service initiated by the
mothers club through community
effort and later taken over by the
board of education, local schools
are now serving lunches daily to
about rs per cent of the pupils in
attendance at an average cost of
from 5 to 10 cents, Mr.. Kimball's S
estimate shows.
In addition to lunch rooms op-
Grated in 81 public schools there
are two rooms maintained by the
mothers club.
In three high schools, each of
which has from 1900 to 1900 pu-
pills, the lunch rooms are in charge
of a chef, who has his staff of cooks
and helpers. These establishments
have no connection with the domes-
tic science departments, Mr.. Kim
ball explained They are handled
entirely by the chef, and the volume
of business is heavy, feeding on an
average of 1900 pupils day al
each high school. The boys and
girls are served at different coun-
ters and after the lunches are eaten
they return the used dishes to the
scrapping tables, All high school
pupils are required to eat their
lun ches in this room regardless OF
whether they buy food there. Many

MEXICAN "WETS"
CONFESS FEAR OF
DRY MOVEMENT

Mexico City.-The "wets" in Mex
leo are frankly alarmed. They say
there is a real possibility that Mex
leo City, at least, may go "dry" be-
fore the end of the year, and that,
if so, the next step would be to
make the entire republic arid of
alcoholic beverages
President Obregon does not say
that he is a prohilsionist, but with
in the last few months he has given
his unqualified support to certain
legal measures which aim to cut
down drinking and eventually to
put intoRcants under the ban.
Saloons, clubs and cantinas have
been put under more rigid restric-
tions and, only few weeks ago. a
presidential decree increased the
federal revenue tax on alcoholic
drinks 100 per cent There are
many rumors that these taxes will
be automatically increased until
they become prohibitive.
Nationwide protest was heard
several days ago when the news
papers said that President Obergon
contemplated issuing decree for
bidding the planting and cultiva-
ton of the maguey plant, which IS
the basic ingredient of the most
popular native drinks.
The maguey, which is a species
of cactus, must be replanted every
seven years, and decree prohibit
ing its cultivation would mean Its
determination and with it the elm
nation OF tequila, mescal and
puluue. drinks of undisputed po-
tency.
Planters OF maguey rushed nu-
merous petitions to President OBJ
RECON pointing out that the plant is
a mart of the agricultural wealth
of the nation in that 1t produces
valuable fiber, sugar, base for
paper and q medicine that is said
to be a specific for kidney disease.
II was also said that its spines,
treated by an inexpensive process,
make cheap and excellent phono-
graph needles.
President Obregon has not yet Is
sued the decree-but the planters
are still worried and so are certain
other persons.
The "wets" have held numerous
meetings within the last few weeks
to organize their campaign against
! prohibition. -
Secretary OF Interior Gales is
coming in for q large share or the
criticism for the dry" wave. as he
was a staunch bone dry" advocate
long before he left the state OF
sonora TO take a cabinet position.
Secretary of the Treasury de Ia
Huerta is also q prohibitfonist.
