TWO SIDES OF 49,
MEXICAN LIFE
LAND OF CONTRAST AND CON
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. PEON,
DIRTY, YET LOVES THE BEAU
TIFUL.
HEALTHY, STRONG, BUT NOT
FOOLS FOR WORK..
Bv CARL BRANNIN

Federated Press Staff Correspondent
Mexico City.-Mexico is a land Of
contrasts and contradictions. Auto
mobiles and trucks in the same street
with burros laden with wood, grain
and hay; sandal shod poems stagger-
ing along with heavy boxes on their
backs held by a rope across the fore
head; electric strret cars and one
horse carriages and Ford jitneys;
electric lights and sewage connections
in hotels and the homes of few rich
men, and candles and no sanitary pro-
visions in the homes of the people.
Poverty makes drab the routine life
of the people; yet there is a yearning
for beauty and freedom of expression
which is refreshing. A peon may be
dirty, wearing ragged overalls and
rough leather sandals, but he will US
ually wear an enormous picturesque
sombero and have draped across his
shoulders a brilliant hued serape or
blanket. Right here it may be said
that the millinery bill for Mexican
women is negligible; in all but the
large cities mantillas or shawls are
worn universally.
Mexicans know how to work hard
and intensively and the loads they
carry would tax the strength of their
northern brothers, but with rare eX-
ceptiOns they are not "foOls for work.
nor have they made a cult of produc-
tive activity as we in the U. S. A.
have done. They believe in getting as
much enjoyment out of life as possible
and, for all their poverty and dirt, can
give US lessons on leading the artistic
life.
It would be well if the average Mex
lean knew more of the Importance of
hygienic measures, but the blame for
his ignorance is to be laid at the door
of the politicO-econOmic-r ex-
ploiters who have kept him enslaved
for generations. Most Mexican city
jewellers live in rented huts. Land
lords will not install sewerage, screens
and the like In cities such as Vera
Cruz, where there is strong tenants
league, a growing demand is being
made for these cOnveniences. House
wives are always sweeping their floors
scrubbing their dOorsteps and wash
ing clothes in primitive fashion at the
river in their uneven struggle against
dirt. Running water is rarely found
in the homes of the masses, and bath
tubs never.
But living conditions and personal
standards of hygiene are improving
under the educational campaigns of
the government and the unions, and
as the town workers and peasants or
