TEACH BOYS TO FARM
l. f. Wolfe Plans to Aid School Pupils
to Get Summer Jobs i'm Country.

j.. Z. Wolfe, former superintendent Of
public schools in San Antonio, who has
been interested in the training of boys
and girls in the habitual performance of
the juvenile industrial home projects for
the last several years plans to continue
his activities this year by placing school
boys on various farms during the sum
mer months in order that they may
learn some Of the essential things Of in
dustrial life.
Mr.. Wolfe he's interviewed several
farm implement firms of San Antonio
and has obtained their conesent TO give
instruction in the operation and repair
ing of farm implements and machinery.
These. firms will iive instruction be-
tween and o'clock at their offices.
Any dealers who viii: lend their ASSIST
ance by holding classes can COnmuni-
2ate With Mr.. Wolfe by mail at 30T
Carolina street or telephone Mission
.4I4. The names Of these firms will
be bullCtined at the schools and The
boys may take advantage of the instruc-
ton by attending the class suitable to
them.
Not only as an educational benefit,
derived from the training which they
will receive, but from an unitarian
standpoint, is this summer training
beneficial, because the present condi-'
ton of the country makes it hard for
the boys TO secure employment during
the summer months.
At the present time. Mr.. Wolfe is in
structing several hundred boys in re-
pairing door lock-, installation of cleo
trio sockets and things of general use.
Mr.. Wolfe is eagerly looking forward
to the time when the Mothers Clubs
of San Antonio will organize the girls
into clubs and train them in the dOmes-
tic occupations such as cooking, sewing
and canning.

HAVE HIGHWAY WEEK
Several Agencies VIII Present Need
for Maintaining Road.

Texas Highway Week, January u to
81, will be observed in San Antonio
by civic luncheon clubs rendering
special program on the highway prob
lens confronting Texas, according TO
George c. Holmgreen of San Antonio,
chairman of the committee of the Texas
Highway Association in charge of this
matter. The Chamber of Commerce
and like organizations, eighty in all,
will render assistance.
Luncheons Of the Rotary, kiwanis,
Lions, Civilians and similar local or
ganiza tions, will be devoted to the ques-
ton of changing the highway laws in
such a way ms TO place the state sys-
TEN under control Of state highway
department.
According to Miss Decca Lamar West
Of Waco, numerous responses and prom
Uses of cooperation are being received
from the Women's clubs in many conf
munities in Texas. She is Chairman
of this feature of the work.
A practical discrimination OF high
way construction is threatened in Texas
unless the state is aroused, according
to Mr.. Holmgreen. He says. Texas
IL not only threatened with forfeiture
Of federal aid in the building Of high
ways. but the system under which we
have been operating is breaking down.
As matter of fact the point has been
reached when. instead of going for
ward toward building a connected sys-
TEN of highways in Texas, we will 90
backward. il the necessary changes are
not made in our laws"
Mr.. HolmSreen asserts that the best
way in which to get this matter before
the people is to bring it up in the
luncheon clubs in the cities and towns
of Texas. where he is sure that every
thing will be done TO induce the Legisln-
ture to remedy the present defective
laws. rr.' ..'..

SMUGGLING Of |
COLD REPORTED
IN MEXICO CITY
Business Man Says 1t Is
Common Rumor Upon
the Streets.
PLAN FEDERAL BANK
Governments Proposal
Lends Possible Contra
diction to Report.

That large quantities of gold are be-
ing drawn from the national treasury
of Mexico and smuggled into the United
States is a matter of common talk on
the streets of the City of Mexico, it is
reported by a prominent business man
who has recently returned from that
country. This assertion, Saturday, fol-
lowed reports published Friday after
noon to the effect that the large guam
titles of gold, admittedly coming out
of Mexico, was not all from individual
deposits in private banks, as first as
sumed. but that large part of it was
from the national treasury.
1t is an undisputed fact, the business
man said, that merchants in Mexico are
converting their money into American
gold as speedily as they can. This gold,
he said, is not Struggled out of Mexico,
but is sent to the United States in pay
ment for merchandise. This demand
for American gold is caused by the fact
that the embargo placed against the ex-
portation of gold from Mexico could not
affect American gold.
1t is matter of common talk, the
man is quoted as saying. that high Off
Gals in Mexico are sending their money
to the United States. One official is
reported as sending his money to
France. The man, however, neither
denied nor affirmed the report that the
gold reported to he sent out of the
country by the officials was from the
national treasury.
A telegram from the Mexican con-
suls office in San Antonio was sent to
Mexico City giving the details of the
report in San Antonio and asking for
information concerning the rumor, it
was ascertained Saturday morning. No
reply TO the telegram had been received
Saturday night.
In possible contradiction OF the re-
port that gold is being withdrawn from
the national treasury and smuggled out
of the country. is the fact that the Next
can government is contemplating the or
ganization of Ell Banco Unico with
branches in the leading cities. Ell Baneo
Unico, should il be established, and the
plan was officially approved by the,
Chamber of Deputies on December 20,
would correspond TO the American fed
cral reserve system. 1t is reported that
the bank would have capitalization OF
50000,000 pesos. The Mexican gov
eminent will hold 81 per cent Of the
bank stock, and the other 40 per cent
will be sold TO bankers of Mexico,
United States and France.

STAR LOCATES BOY
WHEN POLICE FAIL
Soldiers Wife at Fort Myer
Sees Picture and Lad
Is Hurried Home.

A few hours after a photograph of
Benners S. Milligan, twelve years old.
Of 1475 Columbia road. who had been
missing from home since May 20. was
printed in The Evening Star yester-
day. the youthful wanderer was re-
turned safely to his parents.
Benners left his home last Tues
day, ostensibly to attend class at the
Junior High School. When he failed
to return his father. John d. Milligan.
retired naval officer. started a
search. but a vain. He notified the
police and declared he had been as
sured that a photograph and descrip-
ton of the missing lad had been given
to every policeman in Washington
and even circulated throughout the
country.
When Mrs. Milligan stopped several
policemen, however. and asked II
they had yet found her son they
stared In wonder and admitted they
had never heard of him, Mr.. Milligar
declared
/ F'ially. the father says. he called In
spector Clifford l.. Grant, chief of the
detective bureau. and said he was as
sured by that official a thorough
| search was being made. Inquiry at the
bureau proper, however, developed the
! fact that there was no record there
| to ever show the boy was missing.
| 1t was then that Mr.. Mulligan con-
ceived the idea Of printing his sons
picture In The Star Less than three
/ hours after the paper was circulated
a soldier from Fort Meyer brought
Benners home. He said the lad had
been at the military post for days
| trading the doughboys rides on his bi'
| cycle fer food and lodging. When the
| wife OF a soldier saw the lads photo.
/ graph In The Star she called it to the
attention of the good troopers
| and they hurried Benners back to hi:
! parents.
| "If he runs away again. said Mr.

| lice. I'll just come TO The Star"

STAR WINS PRAISE
FOR AUTO TRAP EXPOSE
Laurel Alderman Says State Police
Alone Were Respon-
sible

Commentator of The Evening star
and the local branch Of the American
Automobile Association for their ex-
pose of the speed trap set at Laurel.
Md, TO catch returning Shrinars was
voiced in letter received by c. II.
1Iites, secretary of the District of
Columbia division of the A. A. A,
from c. f. Phelps, alderman at Laurel,
yesterday.
The whole town of Laurel is CRATE
full to the a. A. A. and The Evening
Star" says Mr.. Phelps In his letter.
which explains that the trap was set
by the Maryland state police and that
the town OF Laurel derived no benefit
from the fines assessed on those
caught.
The state police officials, the letter
says, promised to remove their station
at Laurel, but so far have not done SO.
The Star upon Information from
the local \. A. A. published an item
explaining the trap and later published
q picture of the warning of the trap
set up just outside Laurel by the

PLANS EMERGENCY
CRASH DETECTIVES
HeadIey Would Have Men to
Determine Accident
Causes at Once.

Creation of an emergency squad
that would hasten to the scene or an
accident and make thorough inquiry
into the possible causes is one OF the
aims of Inspector Headley, chief OF
the traffic bureau.
There are two outstanding things
these accident investigators could
do, Inspector Headley believes, name
ly: Take photographs to show the
positions of the cars after the crash
and examine carefully the brakes on
each car.
"Of course" said the inspector. the
force of the crash might knock the
mechanism of the car out OF place,
but If a mans brakes needed lining
that fact would reveal itself. regard
less of the damage caused by the
accident"
The traffic chief pointed out that
there is a regulation in the District
traffic code requiring every motor
car to be equipped with good and
adequate brakes, In good working
order, sufficient TO control the vehicle
AT all times"
The inpector does not know how
soon he will have men available to
create this investigating squad, but
he aims to make it a reality as soon
rs possible.
