 ENJOY FREEDOM
On Comparative Scale Free dom of Press Greatest
 in History
By Associated Prrss

Mexico city. August 5-Freedom of the press in Mexico is as near reali- ty now as has been recorded during the past half, century. according to competent observers. Contrasted with the censorship days of Huerta and Carranza, editors and correspondents are enjoying almost unprecedented liberty, and President Obregon on several occasions has emphasized that newspapers and other publications are free to go as far as they like.
 The newspaper Omega and Las Mo- ticias, the former a weekly and the latter a daily, lead the opposition to the administration and the vfndietive- ness which they display in almost every issue would not have been tol- erated for more than one day during the Carranza regime. for instance. The more substantial newspapers of the capital spare no ink now in tell ing the reading public wherein they think the Obregon regime is at fault and even rank misquotations of con- versation with the chief executive are allowed to pass with only mild pro- test
 Foreign correspondents are told that there is no cable or mail cen sorship and If there is. 1t is so adroit- ly done that 1t has not yet been de- ,tected.
 President Obregon in one respect offers sharp contrast to his predeces- sor, President Carranza. The present executive Is much more approachable and has none of the aloofness of the former first chief He receives news papermen regularly every fortnight and local reporters, many of whom have been with him on campaign. feel no hesitation in calling Chaputepec castle hy telephone to converse with the president. The newspaper inter- views are extremely informal affairs the president sitting at little table in the center of circle of reporters and correspondents.

How'd you like to live where there is music all day long?
 Where you could just turn on your favorite tune and listen to is just as long as you wanted to and when you got tired of 1t just switch" on another?
 It wouldn't be much like work. would if?
 Well, that's what pretty Miss Will lie Cox says about her job
 Its more like vacation than work; there's more pleasure in it than worry; there's always some thing new and I never grow tired of 1t but always enjoy every moment of the time I am employed"
 Miss Cox, although young in years Is old In experience in her work, and she has been signally honored by her coworkers, being called the "dean" of the Yictrola profession by the Southern Victor Dealers associ- alton because of her efficiency and her 10 years service In her work eight of which have been spent at the big music emporium of Clark & Uones, where she has sold more records and Victrolas than you could count in many moon.
 Here's what Mir. Robert F. Me David, who with MT. Henry S. Jones. composes the personnel of the boss department at Clark X Jones says about Miss Cox and her splendid work:
 'She is one of the finest young women in the business world of Birmingham; she never loses GUS toner; she never offends one; she Is always agreeable and pleasant and she knows the business from begin- ming to end Effici sncy can be marked opposite her name with q capital 'E' for she has no superior when it comes to that. The South ern Victor Dealers association pay her the compliment of inviting her to speak before them at their annual meetings--the only woman who has ever been thus honored.'
 Certainly no more beautiful praise could be given anyone than just that
 What Miss Cox Says
 If I have had any success in my work 1t has been due entirely to my and Mir. Robert P. McDavid who have encouraged me in my work and have assisted me in every good way pos sible to succeed. If I hadn't met them half way and made good would not have lived up to what they expected of me.
 "I am a Birmingham product born and raised here-and when went into business 10 years ago l selected the work that I am now doing because 1t appealed to me more than anything else.

to many of the great artists; at least l feel that way about it, and when they have come in person to Birmlne- ham to appear in concert It has been with real pleasure that I have heard them and have seen them face tc face and learned something of their personality.
 Thousands of Records
 "The number of records included sa the Victor catalog reaches about 5000. and we carry full stock at all times. A good salesman of records should know his stock by the name of the artist, the selection and tho number of the record.
 "of course, that would require a remarkable feat of memory, and vel it Is not as remarkable as one would think. Dealing with nothing bui music, associated all day every day in the year with the artists voices Is l am. have grown to know them pretty well by name and number, and it isn't often that I have to turn to the catalog. never with favorites
 There are records and reeords-ree- ords of music, records of work well done, records of etricieney and rec ords of loyalty-and Miss Willie Cox can qualify under any one of these for besides her cleverness in ner chosen profession she is equally Clever in other lines; she sews beilu- tifully, makes all her own pretty clothes, which are as dainty and aa lovely as one could find; embroidery, beading. hemstitching she does ar tistieally. and altogether her name can be written down on the register of Successful Women in Business in Birmingham" as one of the most cap able and versatile in this community.
 The Last Word
 P. S.-While Miss Willie Cox's "rec- ord" has been set down as one of successful achievement; while her praises have been sung as one of the prettiest and most accomplished of the younger business women in the Magic City, there is just one thing that must be added to make the pie ture complete--ths sweet, unselfish girl has been the staff of life" the support of her family, her mother whom she dearly loves. and others within the little circle who have needed her aid.
 That, <to my way of thinking, IS a big "order2 to fill. but this clever young woman has done it splendidly

Special Correspondent of The Age-Hern lCopyright, 1929. by The Age -Herald)


 dCopyright. 1929. by The Age-Heraid) Washington, August 5.-Washing ton has just had It's touch of mid summer madness. It was proposed that the Senate investigate itself. No one ever thought the Senate would do such a thing-it wouldn't be clubby-bu. the proposition took up two days of debate. and delayed action on the tariff bill by just that long. Anything is welcome in Wash ingtcn that delays action on the tariff bill.
 The investigation proposal was symptomatic. Senators are getting peevish. They have been together too long. They need a vacation. They are beginning to see things at night. The democrats have beei. picking" on the republicans, who, with no great unanimity among themselves, have been trying to put through the Fordney- -McCnmber bill with the highest protection figures ever written into such d measure.
 The republicans rather expected this democratic worrimcnt, but when some republican newspapers began to find fault, it was the straw which broke the back of several of the sen- atorial camels, although rumor, han it that there are very few senators of the eight-day variety at that.
 Now On Calendar.
 Technically the proposal to inves- tigate senators to find out what in- terests they might have which would be favorably affected by the new tar- if bill, Is still before the Senate. Although adversely reported by the committee to which it was referred the--resolution, prepared by Senator Gooding, of Idaho, has gone upon the calendar, and there 1t will stay, for the calendar is long and tortuous and and once a bill or resolution gets firmly embedded in it, all the kings horses and all the kings men can, pull 1t out.
 Some of the older heads in the Senate felt rather badly about the western impetuousness of Senator Gooding ins proposing the resolution. They regarded 1t is especially absurd that he should have coupled with his demand for a vindication of the Sen ate through the fire of an inyestiga ton suggestion that various news paper proprietors be also investl- gated, especially Frank A. Munsey, owner of the New York Herald and OlAti PaPCIo. Hc COfnlnilltc tO which the resolution was referred turned it down with scarcely mo- inent's consideration.
 Issues in Campaign.
 The incident progressed far enough, however, to be ranked as an Issue in the coming campaign. The demo- crats will continue to raise the ques- tion as to whether or not a senator interested in a certain product, i> entitled to vote for a tariff on that product. It was charged that Senator Gooding, of Idaho. and other senators with large sheep interests. should not have voted on the wool schedule in the tariff bill.
 This naturally has brought up the whole question of the various In. terests held by sitting senators. MT. Gooding. said that he was willing that all This interests" be listed. and was willing also that all other sena- tors be asked to state their various business connections.
 It is perhaps true that the Senate
