THE members in a Kfwanis club. -"

and professional classification. Its
purposes, aims and ideals require
that its membership be made up of
high grade men, who stand for fair
dealing. for service of human fellow

the Golden Rule. Such men not only
benefit each other by getting togeth-
er once a week at lunch time, but
they constitute a body in Kiwanis

community movement that looks to
betterment. In other words, to use

is real asset to the city.
ALLOW me to make it clear that
the Kiwanis club in no way overlpps
or duplicates the activities of the

contrary, history in more than 400
cities shows that both organizations
have proven essential to the progress
of the community. Each body has
its distinct sphere of operations aud

function these organizations act in

Two firms submitted bids and each
bidder stated his willingness to in

its siren would give a greater vol

its competitor. Action on the bids
was deferred by the council and the
local firm Of Dana & Thornton was
given permission to install its Ster-

city hall for a 30-day trial alongside
the Denver double head which is al

MEXICO IS SAFE FOR
AMERICAN CITIZENS
DIR. Henry Payne, Mining Engineer,
Deals With Conditions in MeXi-
can Republic in Talk
Tuesday

An American citizen is just as
safe south of the Rio Grande as
north, and in many cases much
safer, was the summary Of Dr..
Henry Mace Payne, American min
ing engineer, in a talk on conditions
in Mexico before the citizens Of Pull
man Tuesday Dr. Payne spent over
four months in the Mexican republic
investigating the feasibility Of re-
suming American mining opera
tions there, and stated that he just
''rambled around unostentatious-
ly, and found it much safer for an
American to reside there than in
some Of the large centers of the
United States,
Touching upon the refusal of
America, France and Great Britain
to recognize the Mexican govern
ment, DR.. Payne ridicued the oft
repeated claim that property rights
are the cause of the failure to recog-
nize. The real reason, he stated, is
some $8,000,000 in back interest in
bonds floated by succeeding leaders
and purchased by American French
and British financiers. Whenever
Wall street, or the financiers, or cap
italists as you see fit to call them,
speak the word that enough Of this
has been paid Off then the United
States will recognize Mexico and
France and England will follow.
They are holding out only through
courtesy to the United States"
The schools and the roads Of Mex
leo are fast developing, he stated,
and with only 10 per cent of illite-
racy Mexico will recover, whether it
be next week, next month or next
year.
The speaker urged the Importance
to the United States, as well as to
Mexico, of the new Southern Pacific
extension, which will iron out all
hhC w liuhIcot iODpo anu tuIlS III lDe
system and provide a direct route
to Vera Cruz and the markets of Eu-
rope President Obregon, he stated,
is fast getting the situation in hand,
and is assembling a group of leaders
who will put Mexico where she be-
longs. Obregon is frank with his
constituents, and tells then that they
may expect a tax reduction and a
return of prosperity only when they
have paid for the wrongs they have
done in the last seven or eight years
Dr. Payne was formerly professor
of mining at the Mining University
of West Virginia. Later he was con-
sulting engineer for the British in
terests with placer mines in Alaska
and Siberia, then consulting engin-
eer for New York interests with ex-
tensiye mine holdings in Mexico.

SIREN WAKES THE POPULACE

"Where was the fire. was the pop
ular question propounded by Pull
man citizens when they wended their
way down town Sunday morning af-
ter having had their slumbers dis
turbed at 2 a. m. by the hideous
notes of the fire siren mounted on
the city hall. It was a false alarm.
but It served its purpose admirably.
The alarm was sounded at the in
stance of the city council in an ef-
fort to discover, under realistic con-
ditions, whether or not the siren
is of sufficient volume to awaken
the people of the community. And
