GOVERNMENT WILL
NOT HELP STRANDED
MEXICAN LABORERS

Themselves in the
Future.

Mexico City, Mex, March "a. -
Local papers announce that the gov
eminent has extended its last aid to
the laborcrs who, in spite of all warn
ings, 20 to the United States seek
ing employment.
Heretofore the government has re-
patriated many thousands of laborers
who have been attracted to the north
ern republic BY the wild tales of the
immense salaries TO be obtained there,
but on arrival they have found that
their ignorance of the American Ian
cuage and their lack of training in the
class of occupations open was nm eff
fectual barrier to their realizing their
ambitions.
Their condition on finding them
selves in n strange country without
funds and without work. often having
their families with them. caused much
distress and the federal government
has been obliged to aid them.
Now. after an active campaign and
in many cases the use of force to keep
them from crossing the line. the gov
eminent announces that it will ex-
tend no further aid. but they will
have to tatr care of themselves.
It is claimed that manv Of these
unfortunates have been enticcd to the
states nv their own countrymen. act

who have sent 50 many across that
tho contractors could not use them.
In other cases the rate Of paw and
the conditions have been so grossly
misrepresnnted that the Mexicans have
been unable to exist under the condi-
tons they have found and have be.
come public charges.

Mencans Claim Edison Is
Descendant of Aztec King

the name Of Spanish diplomat. This
gentleman rejoiced in the compounded
name of Iturri y Veri y CORR Tori
y Azpetechea, which he condensed to
lturriverigorritorriazpetchea. So, after
one of the family of IxtlixochitI had
been baptized Tomas de Alva Cortez
IxtilxOchitl, there began a gradual lop-
ping off of the names until the family
was known as de Alva. Finally, when
this Tomas was born at Zacatacas,
he was baptized with the name of To-
mas de Alva Edison, the Edison being
added in honor of an English lady of
that name, from Mexico City, who
had married great uncle of this
Tomas.

A living descendant of the family.

TO be cousin of the American inven-
tor. says that in 1916 a representative
of Mr.. Edison came to Tacubaya IN
vestigating the ancestry of his en-
ployer.
She also says that her father dur
ing his life told her that he had a
nephew in the United States devoted
to inventions and that the old man
talked much about him. She says that
1t is not impossible that he was born
in Milan, Ohio. brs no matter where
his cradle might have been it Is GER
tain that his origin is Mexican and
that he is legitimate descendant Of
an illustrious family of the Aztec en-
pire and his forefathers ruled the
kingdom OF Teotihaucan.

COTTON PESTS

MEXICAN CROP
Government Survey to As

EXPERT AID ENLISTED
Planters Deny Pests Are

Mexico City, March e4.-The fu-
ture of the cotton industry in Mexico
is so seriously Threatened BY the in
vasion of insects that the officials Of
the agricultural department has mi
tiated survey to ascertain just what
lands are available for the growth of
the cotton plant.

This survey is being carried on BY

over the country in the employ of the
The reports which have been re-
ceived so far tend to show that the
scare about the country being unable
to raise sufficient cotton TO supply
Its needs +, is without actual founda-
ton. The reports, which are by no
means complete, report over 250.000
acres of land suitable for cotton grow
ing, and it is believed that when all
are in. the total will reach fully
100000 acres.
Must Keep Pests Down.
Experts who have studied the sit
uation say that the question is not
one of land suitable for cotton rails
ing, but is a question of keeping down
insects such as the boil weevil and
its allies. The infection of the famous
Laguna region with these enemies of
cotton growers have been charged to

as, but this is denied by those who
have raised cotton in Mexico for many
years.
These people say that the cotton

Say Inventor Wizards
Ancestry Dates Back to
Pre-Columbus Days and
That Real Family Name Is
Ixtlixochitl.

Mexico City. Mex, March a.
In spite of all denials, Mexico still
claims the legitimate ancestry of
Thomas Alva Edison, 1the Wizard of
Menlo Park" and claims that he is
legitimately possessed of the name
of 1xtlixochitl as a family name
through being able to trace his ances.
try back to many years before the
coming of Columbus to the shores of
the new world.
Also, by this same claim, his fore
bears, by their slaves, built the great
pyramids of San Juan Tectihuacan.
which are today a mystery to the
wisest archaeologists and rival their
relatives in Egypt.
The latest story is that seven years
ago Mr.. Edison credited this strain
of his ancestry and sent a representa-
tive to Mexico to trace his ancestry
and to ascertain IL any of his family
still lived. This is vouched for by a
member of the family still living in
the suburbs of this city, whom Edi-
sons representative interviewed. and
whose photograph bears a remarkable
resemblance to the American inventor.
First Ancestor a King.
The actual genealogical record
shown The Light representative starts
the family off with the king of Tex
coco in the year 1439 and follows
along to the 1905 when there was
born in the city of Zacatecas, Of the
state of that name, one Tomas de
Alva Edison, a forebear of Thomas
Alva Edison. the inventor.
The genealogy explains the change
of name through a logical and rec
orded course of events which is very
common in the old Spanish families.
particularly when they become mixed
with the noble Aztec families. Among
these it was, and still is the custom.
TO take both the names of the father
and mother. continuing the additions
until in some cases there is an al
most interminable list, practically obi
eating the dropping Of some of them
