The Border Patrol.

A Ii ALONG the Mexican border OF the United
n States there is an insistent demand on the
part of Americans that the border patrol be made
efficient. Assistant Secretary of War Vain
wright has completed tour of the country along
the Rio Grande and has reported condition that
must prove surprising when most of us in the East
have been believing that order had been established
by the Obregon administration
And, strange it may seem, this demand for
greater number OF troops along the border is not
in any way associated with hostility for Oregon,
or his administration but the contrary seems to
be caused by apprehension that something NAV
occur calculated to upset the present relations and
undo much that has been done to restore good will
There is denying the fact that President
Obregon has made rapid strides in pacfying his
country, but the northern states of Mexico those
on the United States border, appear to be still
too far away from the Of government at Mexico
City. There is element that does not hesitate to
cross the international line whenever the vancouver
may be made without encountering American troops
or Texas Rangers Fortunately these expeditions
have resulted in few clashes For the greater part,
It is believed smugglers of whisky arc respon-
sible. But there is the less feeling Of anxiety
that the temptation may prove too strong for some
Mexican bandit, possibly an enemy of Oregon,
to the border and attack some small settle
mcnt, thus creating grave international crisis
between the two governments.
The same anxiety may be said to be felt by
Obregon well as by the Americans along the
border. Certainly, it is believed there will be no
-protest from the Mexican government of any steps
which may be taken the American side of the
border to preserve law and order
And there is still another reason it is stated
why the patrol should be an efficient one at this
time. For the first time since the Mexican revoiu-
ton conditions along the American side of the
border are again showing material DEVELOPMENT
Large numbers of settlers are moving in and MANY
thriving little towns have sprung into existence
With American troops handy these settlers feel
they will not be molested by marauding bands
OF Mexicans. Withdrawing troops at this time
makes them feel insecure and may retard progress
materially.
Concerning the situation, the Houston Post
reflects the broader view OF the situation:
Without modifying the spirit of our friend
ship Tor the Mexcans we should, nevertheless,
realize that Mexico is not Canada, and to with
draw too many OF the soldiers from border patrol
would be to invite unnecessary trouble. The cost
o maintaining tho garrisons in these regions will
be small in comparison to tho value of the material
development they will make possible within the next

THE annual report OF the Federal Reserve Board
to Congress shows that there has been
- prime financial reaction without an attend
irg- money panic almost unprecedented condi-
ton, and it is only by reading the report carefully
we are able to appreciate should the dcAaton
OF bank loans, bank discounts and bank notes in
circulation during the period OF recession.
The peak OF Federal reserve note circulation
was reached in December, 1920, when the amount
outstanding S34o4 100000 In December 1921
81 yooo, 100000 had been from this figure the
note circulation standing at $2,4I6ooo,ooo. The
loans to member banks against war paper were
reduced in the twelve months from SI,I6o,oooooo
to S476,I6I 900. Total discounts at the reserve
banks were cut from $4,000 10000 to SI,185432ooo
The earning assets of the twelve central banks
of the reserve system were cut from S33I3so2ooo
to SI,5I7ooo.ooo.
1t is quite difficult to grasp the significance
ol'the figures published above, so many have been
too busy to believe that the depression was actually
real so many have not noticed the depression at
all. But the facts speak for themselves. There
nothing theoretical about the financial reaction
The marvel is that there was no attendant panic

currence in the history of this other nations.
However the situation is longer as it is painted
in the figures given here. We have safely wcathcred

we are on the upward trend, says the report.

How Millionaires Vie in

NEW YORK. Feb 21.-The day
on Park avenue begins at 10
o'clock when the glittering limou-
sfnes chug up to the massive apart
ment mansions to carry million
aires off to their daily chores. Near
ly all the buildings house a fair
sized city and the atmosphere Is
freighted with wealth carried to
the zenith OF dazzling brilliance.
Running down the center Of the
avenue is mall with gardens and
Lilltputian Japanese trees on either
side. A private policeman guards
each block and it is the only part
of the city where dogs go un-
leashed and unmuzzled. Intrusion
by the common herd is frowned
upon. Park avenue Is for the elect.
There Is a chilly look about the
English servants who appear to
be thinking: How dare you walk

type--steely eyes. closely cropped
grey mustache. superbly groomed
and always spatted and boutton-

He mods quickly and with reserve
to passing acquaintance. Any day
he may be battling with them in
the money marts. Even the street
sweepers are conscious of the ele-
waited sphere in which they labor.
They smoke cigarettes instead of
corncob pipes.
At II o'clock Milady appears with
refrigerant nonchalance to seek
surcease from endless ennui in the
shops along Fifth avenue. two
blocks west. OF late the ladies
have discarded the motor for closed
carriages drawn by spirited bays.
Immobile footmen in plum colored
suits sit beside the drivers with a
haughtiness that awes the hour

The only disturbing element in
Park avenues cloistered existence
are the bells and whistles on trains
scooting under the roadway to the
Grand Central Station at the foot
of the street. The residents have
never been able to muffle this
nuisance.

A push cart peddler. who hadn't

EQUALS HIGH RECORD
SET LAST DECEMBER

New York, May 29.--The sum of
$100, 900, together with two players
valued at $25,000, reported as the
price the Chicago American league
club has agreed to pay the San
Francisco club in the Pacific coast
league for Infielder Willie Kamm,
equals the high record established
last December by John j, McGraw,
manager of the New York Nations.
1t is the common understanding
that McGraw paid 100000 and two
players, whose value may or may
not have been $25, 900, to the Gin
cinnati club or the National league
for Heinie Groh, who plays third
base, the same position as Kamnl.
McGraw, about the same time, paid
$4,000 to the San Francisco club
for Jimmy O'Connell, who will not
come to the Giants until next year.

According to Putnam. the deal
