REPORTERS UNION IN MEXICO
 CAPTURES A NEWSPAPER

We are accustomed to think of Mexico as backward country, but in at least one re- spect it is more "advanced' than America. Newspapers in the United States have not yet suffered from violence at the hands of reporters union.
 In Mexico City the plant of Fl Universal was forcibly shut down when members of the Graphic Art syndicate and the newly or ganized reporters union drove the employees out with guns and destroyed all the papers publication, the raiding party nailed up red and black flags at the entrance and waited for soldiers who came and took charge of the premises, refusing admission to everyone, in- cluding the editor.
 The Associated Press dispatch does not state what caused the reporters to go on the war path. So many evils afflict reporters every where that ,n a moments notice half a dozen prime grievances could be brought to mind that might justify a display of militancy. Pos sibly there will never be a national reporters union in the United States, although some ten tative steps have been taken in that direction. The idea doesn't meet with much favor, prob ably because of the constitutional objection ot a reporter to paying dues of any sort what ever. Yet there are times when the members of an arduous and underpaid profession, who are yet the bulwark of journalism, feel that they would like to be in position to compete with affluens members of the typographical union in wages, regulate working conditions, especially hours of labor, and otherwise amelio- rate their hard lot by organized resistance.
 
 America has got the gold of the world, but we have saved our soulsr exclaims Rudyard Kipling. If that's the way Rudyard feels about it, we are not going to quarrel with him. He wrote some pretty good stuff when he was m his prime.
 Curbing an almost irresistible impulse to make a pun on Lieutenant Doolittle's name, we merely call attention to him as a flyer who crossed the country with the minimum number of "hops." Henceforth the police of Jersey City must smile on the citizenry and be veritable Sunny Jims" That's asking a great deal of po- liceman considering his salary and other things.
 As long as labor can hire an imposing array of legal talent it's rights ought to be reason ably safe.

head is splitting. As he gradu-
ally comes to, zle discovers n
young woman whom, to his rec
objection, he had never seen be-

window. His first impression is
that he had the ID. It's and she
Is a nurse. But she tells him
she's his wife. And to prove IL
she shows him the marriage IL
cenSe and certificate, made out
for David Garrick Mccartney and
Thelma O'Connor. One of the
witnesses is Howard Manning.
He calls him up and mis- WORST
fears are confirmed. Buck then
demands that Manning come to
his apartment and bring along
the other witness, Frederic STRAIT
ford, who is unknowon to Buck.
Buck tries to figure out how it
all happened but he can't re-
member anything. ALI he knows
is that he is in q terrible fix.
His uncle Charley will diSinherit
him, and he can't marry Vir-
sginia Earle. to whom he was en-
gagged. He shows his ''vife'' a
picture of his uncle. Thelma
seems to recognize the original
and begins to laugh and to as
sure him he won't be disinherit-

His friends come to his apart
ment and supply the details of
the previous night. He tries to
discourage Thelma, bat in vain.
Then TheIma remembers a teIe-

Virginia Will Arrive at 1920.
It's from his uncle in answer to

ADVICE TO THE LOVEL0RN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

this girl you have no right to ask her
to give up the con1panionship of her
other men friends, and you also have
the privilege of going about with girl
friends. t.An understanding" is not
quite the same as an engagement, you
see.
When you are in a position to ask
her to be your wife, if she accepts she
will doubtless gladly give you her time
and attention to the exclusion of her
other men friends. Except in the
case of a formal engagement, how
ever, it is a little selfish. my friend,
to expect to monopolize a girls time
and thoughts. Don't you see this
yourself?
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-06-30

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am going with young girl, and
though we are not publicly engaged,
we have an understanding. 1 have
never gone out with any other girls
since I have been going with her, but
she does go with young men and does
not think it wrong.
Do you think it right for her to do
this?
One night I had an appointment
with her, and she asked me if she
could go out with an elderly man the
same night and I said no, but she went
anyway and left me alone. What
would you advise me to do? J. A. D.

Between 1912 and 1922 the operated

or ! per cent.
Of this mileage some 800 miles are
leased from the Louisville & Nashville,
owner of approximately " per cent OF
Nashville, Chattanooga G. ST. Louis
stock, and other companies and the
rentals paid are included in fixed
charges. This leased mileage is also
included in the company's estimated
valuation as part OF the property op-
Grated, which makes advisable the in

these leaseholds in order that proper
balance may be preserved in the COM

Estimated Property Value
The estimated value of the property
owned and leased is $4,000 900, or 4b

USE OF INTOXICANTS
NOW DECREASING

Enforcing the eighteenth amend
ment to the Federal constitution is
a difficult task not an easy matter,
and the United States government
officials realize it. There are many
things in the way of enforcement
The moonshiner is always busy and
the bootlegger is continually on the
job. Many people are opposed to
any law tending to prohibit the
manufacture and sale Of Intoxicating
Cmnks; hence, in all communities
NJ liquor traiic has some sympa-
thizers and in many sections it has a
host of friends. Ali these have a
tendency to encourage the fellow
who deals in whiskey-making or sell
ling. or both. Everywhere one can
hear il said that the governments
cannot enforce the prohibition law,
But this is an error-a misconcep-
Ion of Uncle Sans power.
We also hear it said that there is
more whiskey consumed now thar
when the saloons and distiAeries
we're legally open and in operation
1Ms statement is not backed up by

is made made from many kinds Of
ingredients and by many different
