IEIiteracy is Cause
Of Many Errors
Mexico Revolution
By FREDERICK G.. NEUMEIR
u. P. Staff Correspondent

l MEXICO ClTY,-The' great err
rors of the Mexican revolution were
due to the illiteracy of the masses,
according to Jos Vasconcelos, sec
reary of the departments of public
education in the Obregon cabinet.
~ consider that the Mexican rev
olution failed because one of its
principal objects was to obtain the
destruction of big properties V, See
reary Vaseoncelos stated
During the critical period of
the revolution large land owners
were disposscssed of their properties
by military chiefs but these chiefs
took them for their personal use
andanot for the purpose of public
utility, and the result has neces'
sarily been that all properties so
confiscGted have had TO be return
ed
"If the Mexican masses had not
been illiterate they never would
have tolerated the crude and is'
norant despotism of Carranza, but
would have seen that the revolution
was won by men capable of under
standing and finding a solution OF
the agrarian problem. -

MANY ARIZO-NANS
GOING TO COAST
FOR THE SUMMER

Charles +. Matlin, travelling agent
for the San Diego and Arizona Rail
way, returned last night from trip
to Arizona, to make a. survey of con
ditions there with a view to asccr-
tanning the probable extent of sum
mer traffic to San Diego and other
coast points. Mr.. Matlin states that
extensive advertising carried on by
the railroad and other agencies has
succeeded beyond expectations and
that large numbers from the neigh
boring state have already made ar
rangements to spend the summer in
whole or in part on the Pacific
Coast.
San Diego, Coronado, and other
places adjacent to San Diego seem
to be the favorite spot for the Ari
zonans. This tends to make I'M
creased business for Imperial Val
ley, Mr.. Matiin points out, for in
addition to those who will travel by

NEW YORK, May a Getting
back TO its habit of using petty
litt!c "ward politics, tne Ama-
lear Athletic Union has ''set
down Charley Paddock for com
peting yesterday in the trial events
Of the University of Paris games.
In this case it is understood that
Paddock was punished for compet
ing in an unsanctioncd meet. Under
these conditions the suspension
means nothing, as he will have to
be reinstated if he ever decides to
apply for a lifting of the suspcn-
sion.
1t is doubtful if the sprint cham-
pion will care to flattcr the A. A.
Z. by recognizing that he is sus-
pended.

The showdown has been called for
row with the announcement Of the

ciation that Paddock had their per
mission to compete in Paris. and
that he is guilty of no offense, be

FIRST BLuE-sTocMne CLUB
Association Said to Have Originated
in Venice, Though 1t Is Credited
to England.

The expression "Blue Stocking" Is
TO waman who is unusually learned.
The term originated in Venice when
in 400 a society was formed of ladies
and gentlemen calling themselves
della ealza"-all the members of the
society being distinguished by the
wearing of blue stockings. The idea
was taken up in Paris and became the
rage among the lady savants of that
city. From France 1t came to England
in 1850 when Mrs. Montague displayed
the badge of the Bas-bleu club at her
assemblies. Mr.. Stillingfieet, con
slant attendant of the soirees, went by
the name of Blue-Stockings Boswell
in his life of DR.. Samuel Johnson tells
something of the first of the blue
stockings in England. and although
he writes as if the club had originated
in England instead of Venice, his ac-
count is interesting. He says: "One
of the most eminent members of those
societies, when they first commenced
was Mr.. Stillingtieet whose dress was
remarkably grave and in particular 1t
was observed that he wore blue stock
ings. Such was the excellence of his
conversation that his absence was felt
as so great a loss that it used to be
said: ''We can do nothing without
the blue Stockings and thus by de-
grees the title was established" Bos-
well concludes by saying that Doctor
Johnson was prevailed with to come
sometimes into these circles, and did
not think himself too grave even for
the lively Miss M3ncton Ga prominent
member of the society,""

Then he sat up in his saddle and cried

WROUGHT WONDERS IN STONE
Werk Of Arsiitscts of the Twelfth
Gentry StanI 10 Challenge
to the World.


The most laboriously wrought stone
carving in the world, the temple of
Cinema Kesava, at Belur. India, was
built in the Twelfth century to cele-
brate the conversion to Vishnuism Of q
Jain ruler. Ferguson says of this par
ticular temple: 1.-THE amount of labor
which each particular facet of this
porch displays is such as never was
bestowed on any surface of equal ex-
tent in any building in the world"
Another masterpiece of sculptured
stone, at Hullabid. India, ten miles
from Belur, is greatly ruined now, and
many of its gems have been removed
to the museum at Bangalore. When
intact it was the finest specimen of
indian art in existence. This column
IS one of the most marvellous exhibit
lions of human labor to be found even
in the patient East-far surpasses any,
thing in Gothic art. The effects are
said to be just what the medieval
architects were aiming at, but which
they never attained so perfectly as
was done at Hullabid. Ferguson fur
Their says, placing the Hullabid temple
and the Parthenon in Athens as the
two extremes of architecture: at
would be possible to arrange all the
buildings of the world between these
two extremes, as they tended toward
the severe intellectual purity Of the
one or the playful, eXuberant fancy of
the other; but perfection, If 1t existed,
would be somewhere near the mean"

ORIGIN OF BLINKING rLgneE
Custom Said to Have Originated a.
the Time of the Danish Inva-
sion of England.

In work entitled observations on
the Popular Antiquities Of Great Brit
ain: Chiefly Illustrating the Origin of
Our Vulgar and Provincial Customs,
Ceremonies, and Superstitions," by
John Brand. NJ. A, fellow and secre-
tary of the Society Of Antiquaries of
London, those curious about drinking
customs could find much entertain.
ment. Under the head of 'Pledging"
1t gives the origin of that custom.
The word pledge Is most probably
derived from the French pleige a
surety or gage. Some deduce the ex.
preston It'll pledge YOU in drinking,
from the time when the Danes bore
sway In the island. 1t Is said to have
been common with these ferocious
people to stab native in the act Of
drinking with a knife or dagger /;
thereupon people would not drink In
company, unless some one present
would be their pledge or surety that
they should receive no hurt whilst
they were In their draught.
DR.. Henry's History Of Great Brit.
AIM says:
If an Englishman presumed to
drink in the presence Of Dane, with
out his express permission, it was
esteemed SO great mark Of disre-
spect, that nothing but instant death
could expiate. Nay, the English were
SO inundated that they would not
venture to drink even when they were
invited, until the Danes had pledged
their honor for their safety"
