REFORM WAVE SWEEPS.
Mexico City Intimates That 1t May
Clean Up.

A wave of moral reform that might
be likened to the blue law agitation OF
the United States, is sweeping over
Mexico City, says dispatch OF last
Tuesday from that city.
The latest agitation is for the sepa-
ration Of the sexes in the moving pic
ture theatres. Most of the MOVIES mere
are quite dark during the performances
and the moralists say that there is as
much uncensored romance in the bal
comics and the dusky corners of the or
chestra as there is on the screen. Lead
ers of the moral reform movement pre-
dict national decadence and rapid
lowering Of the moral standards If the
sexes are not separated or the lights
turned on.
Some of the moving picture houses
are particularly adapted to the devel-
opment Of romance.

INDIAN COURAGE
Manue!ito, the Great Chief of the Nav
aio Tribe,

Manue!ito, the Great Chief of the Nav
ajo Tribe.
1t happened at Fort Defiance, Ariz.
One tissue day" a crowd of Navajoes
gathered around the corral looking
hungrily at the steers-big, rangy
longhorns which would soon be fresh
beef for them. Unnoticed by anyone
little Indian boy slipped under the
fence and toddled out into the inclos-
ure.
In an instant a big steer had rotted
out from the heard and, shaking lts
long, sharp horns, advanced upon the
tiny figure, who curiously watched the
animals approach. There was mo-
ment of Mortified suspense-then a tall,
straight Indian jumped from the corral
fence and in a few flying leaps mad
placed himself between the baby and
the oncoming steer. There he stood
with arms folded across his breast. At
the same instant the steer charged.
The animal came on with the force
of q locomotive At the last second 1t
stopped and stood swinging its head
back and forth with the points OF It's
sharp horns just missing the breast OF
the Indian. But the erect figure dld
not finch. Not a muscle moved. The
steer was puzzled. Evidently deciding
that it was not worth while TO bump
his head on something which might be
ffnr
back to his fellows.
AS the Indian walked back to the
corral fence with the baby on MS
shoulder there was no agitation in his
manner. For was he not Manuelito,
war chief of the Navajo? He gained
this position in 1855 while the Nava-
ioes were a constant terror to the early
settlers of Arizona. Several eXpedl-
tions sent against them had failed but
in 1863, Col. Kit Carson, the, famous
scout. whipped them so thoroughly
that they never again were guilty OF
any organized hostility towards the
whites. ,
After that Manuelito, the war CHIEF
became q peace chief, and in 1872 ne
was appointed captain of the native
police force organized to keep order on
the reservation. Once when a number
of young bucks were planning an out
break Manuelito called them into couh-
Gil. Picking up O handful of sand, nc
said: do you know how many grams
of sand are in my hand? There are
lust that many white men for you 10
fisht. No do you wish to make
warp
They did not, for Manuelito's symbol
of the Americans strength brought
them to their senses. From then on
until his death in 1898 he proved him.

his name is still revered by the Navajo

Quincy Todd on "The People"

rights Of the people and SO forth
and he Is a very good talker, at
that, and as he is a very tall guy
when he gets a plug hat onto
him the people believe he will
stick up In Washington like the
Washington Monument He
squalls and bellers and cries and
rants and raves about the rights
of the people until he gets ma
jority Of the people properly
blooey and he gets elected by a
wide margin and he goes to
Washington.
"Well, he remembers the peo-
pie for quite a while after he
gets down to Washington, long
enough, In fact, to get the hole
dug for the foundation for the
new post Office on Main street.
When this excavation is done,
which takes three guys and a
mule team almost three days, he
figgers he has done pretty well
for one term as congressman and
he sort of forgets about putting
any building onto that hole.
Somebody gives this great
statesman a hot tip on Wall
street and he cleans up a couple
of hundred and after that the
dear people mean just as much
to him as the mummy Of Cleo
patra's third cousin. He is very
busy voting for the banks, rail-
roads and Wall street, which
they pat him on the back a great
deal and make him believe he
has got Henry Clay baked into a
brick and Daniel Webster backed
off the boards. It does not occur
to him that these people do not
care one tinker's dam about him
except for his vote.
"Well, after a lot of months
committee from the old home
town waits on this bird regard
ing the post Office and he has to
be introduced to this committee
by his secretary before he can
remember their names.

81 suppose the people do that
same" says Elias Q. Higgin-
botham.
"They do not" says Quincy.
"They do not set on no tack.
They wait until the following
November and then they set on
their congressman. The last I
hear of this guy he is keeping
books in a -four mill"

Higginbotham. 'It sometimes
seems the people amt got much
spunk."
"Spunkw says Quincy. "spunk
is all they have got. Spunk is
their middle name and it is get
ting SO nowadays they show it.
The income tax is a constant re-
minder four times a year that
they really own this government.
The only trouble with the people
is that there is so many Of 'em
it takes 'em a long time to con-
centrate on an idear. When
they do it's taps for some emf
nent statesman. Have you been
reading the papers lately?"
81 see where quite a lot Of
senators and congressman and so
forth have decided to go back to
the practice Of law on account
Of the money in it," says Elias
Q. Higginbotham.
"The people don't hand out no
sour tips" says Quincy. Last
election they handed out hunch
that they wanted two things.
The first was to keep out of
European dog fights and the sec
ond was smaller taxes. They
happened to be quite a lot in
earnest about these things. The
people who paid no attention are
now hearing from the people.
The people have got one grand
old motto"
(Which is what?" says Elias

Forgive and forget, but al
ways remember" says Quincy.

This is regular old-home talk
and Hon. Polk chirks up a bit,
although his dignity is quite a
bit scorched. The guy who is
doing the talking is Old Tage
Butts, who runs the livery stable
and has been sheriff several times
when he can shoot his way into
office.
"T'll have you understand you
are talking to a member of Con-
gress, whose dignity must be re-
spected, you wobble-jawed, non

dear peepul,' says Tage Butts.
That's what you yelped all over
the deestrick, you unprincipled

"'You're a lynn skunk and so
are Your friends on this COM
mittee,' says Hon. Polk, which is
no way Tor a Congressman to
talk, but he figgers he has got
the railroads and banks and
other interests behind him, and
he Is very angry and his dignity
is outraged.
What about the people that
put you here, YOU polecat?' says
Amry Higgins, another member
of the committee.

'tWell, this here Giraffe Polk
is in this position along about
the time that Ignatius W. Proud
foot is misrepresenting US in Con-
gress. Hon. Proudfoot makes a
first-class, top-notch congressman
for about one term and a half,
when he begins to get the Wash
ington perspective, which has
been the ruination of so many
great statesmen. He forgets all
about the poor worms back home
that give him this Office. When
he gets ready to come back home
on a vacation he has to look in
the Congressional Directory to
see where he lives. Well, the
people are very sore on this
statesman on account of this for
getfulness and they are very,
anxious to get new red-brick
post Office built on Main street
and they want Grand River
dredged out so it will accommo-
date canoeing parties. But Hon.
Proudfoot is very busy attending
to the affairs of Asia and Poly

foot and he neglects these few
minor details,
when election time comes

mind gets up the idear that it
would be good idear to have
this Giraffe Polk haul off and
run agin' Hon. Proudfoot for
Congress. They don't figger that
Polk will be wuth a pickyuns as
a statesman, but they figger they
have got to support him anyhow
by letting him eat around their
homes and they can get rid of
him by sending him down to

Safety Week--At Last

K TEW YORK is going to have
IN a Safety Week in October
= and it comes to fill a long
felt want.
It is going to be a great success
and do lot of good if all the peo-
pie observe it, buff half the
people observe the rules and reg
ulations of Safety Week and try
to profit by it and the other half
pays no attention to it whatever
what will the harvest be?
One man may go along and
observe Safety Week to the limit
and may be as careful as a base
ball pitcher with two out and
three on bases, but he goes across
q street and along comes an auto
mobile driver who has not heard
about this Safety Week or does
not believe in 1t II he has heard
about it, and what happens but
this good citizen lands in the
hospital, being carried there In
two or three bushel baskets, and
he Is then inclined to believe that
Safety Week is more or less of a
frost, and who shall blame him?
II a man and his wife both
make up their minds to observe
Safety Week it may be that the
divorce court will be cheated out
Of a case at least, until Saturday
night Of that week, but If one Of
this pair observes Safety Week
and the other continues as usual,
the consequences are apt TO be
rather tedious for the innocent
party who will be bound by GER
tain rules Of the week. I
The Washington times., 1922-09-10

During Safety Week it will not
be considered good form to havs
any dealings whatever with boot
leggers, and If. one does it will
be strictly against the rules to
offer any Of the stuff to friends.
A few of the rules of Safety
Week follow:
Do not try to beat your neigh
Dor to the street If he Is bigger
than you are.
Enter into no arguments what
ever with traffic policemen or en-
forcement officers.
Do not carry the old salary
envelope out to the race track on
Saturday afternoon.
Do not begin the breakfast
table chat with any remarks
about your wife's relatives.
Do not try to keep your sub
way seat IL there Is a determined
lady standing In front of you and
staring at you.
Don't go to Hoboken and MAKE
any cracks about being In a for
eign country.
Do not lean over a cigar
lighter If you wear a celluloid
collar.
Do not try TO steer an actress
into the Automat for a supper
after the show.
Do not get married In an air
