ON TO MEXICO CITY

Announcement that the Southern Pacific railway
company has contracted to build gap in its lines in
Mexico to connect with Mexico City is of tremend
interest to every section of California.
This development plan is of particular interest to
Imperial Valley tor the that we are the Mex
lean border and have port of entry from Mexico AL
so because we at present solely dependent upon the
Southern Pacific for our means of rail transportation
AS showing the large purpose of the railroad to
develop Pacific coast trade the projected line of the
Southern Pacific south from Caexco to the gulf may
be cited The larger plan to enter the capital of the
republic considered in connection with this local one,
proves that the company is developing policy that
disregards national boundaries and comprehends
economic necessity.
The agreement entered into and now properly
sealed and validated is for the building of the connect
ing link within period of four years Thus it will be
seen how quickly this new and important relation
ship with Mexico is to be brought about.
1t must be confessed that there is strong appeal
to the imagination in what is being done. 1t perhaps
means more to the people Of Northern Mexico than
it does to the people of California and the other coast
states but to the latter it matter of vast conse-
quence. Upon completion of this Mexican segment of
the Southern Pacific will be able to step into
Pullman at Victoria British Columbia and remain in
crossing of international frontiers in Europe is mat
ter of single days travels but to from British
I aGrosf @ me- ta Gnlted Saes ana NAT way
trip of several days duration, is quite another
matter. In long-distance railroading it will be par
allel to the Trans-Sberian road from Petrograd to
Vladivostok.
The readiness of President Obregon to enter into
contract with the Southern Pacific to build this i'm
portant connecting link is gratifying evidence of
agreeable relationship between the two countries
each side of the line They have been strained for
many years and they have many times been close to
the point of conflict 1t may well be hoped that this
will literally be tie that binds. The incident also
shows that business conditions in Mexico becoming
stable for there would otherwise be hesitancy on
the part of the Mexican government guarantee pro-
lection to the project not to give which, and main
tain it, would be to invite trouble with the United
States Heretofore the main connections of the coast
by rail have been by of east-and-west lines.
This is new departure finding its counterpart the
Atlantic coast in the Flagler coast line and the Illi-
nois Central.
Imperial Valley has especial reason for joining
with the rest of the state of California in fecitatng
the Southern Pacific in this its latest notable project
and congratulang all the people upon the better in
ternational relations that are to follow.

THE KOMAN,S NAME

ment of laws found that in their state code there

marriage, although the custom is followed generally
there elsewhere.
When this fact developed, canvas was made of
prominent in various parts of the state to
whether they would avail themselves of the liberty
use their names instead of those of their hus-
bands In spite of all that has been said about emanc
pated femininty, the vote almost without exception
in favor of retaining the husbands name 1t was
generally agreed that there children there
should be a family name law law. Most of
those questioned held that where woman had made
her maiden name prominent valuable, her identity
could be fully preserved simply by using this in
conjunction with that of her husband.
1t may be that in most of the states investigation
would show that the adoption of the male title is Gus

WAN-KILLERS

Lord Carnarvon had more unfortunate expert

Jungles of Africa India have had for very long
time.
There may have been time in the history of the
human race when big, fierce beasts more than a

There still many small insects, however, and
many germs both isolated and only suspected, which
are far menacng TO human health and life than
any of the powerful creatures traditionaly regarded
mans worst enemies.
Some of those microscopic foes have been pretty
well checked. Human research has found out either
how to prevent their depredations or how to rid the
earth of them. But there is much more to be learned
and done before man is safe from noxous insects
and disease germs he is from lions and tigers.

THE AUTOMOBILE FUTURE

From careful estimates made by experts it ap-
pears likely that the automobile output for this coun-
try in 1923 will be about 100000 cars. In March, 19
per cent turned out than in the previ-
peak month of June, 1922 Whatever the actual
figures it is certain that this year will break all prey
Gus records.
This means more for America. 1t means also
that the United States is getting firm basis as the
leading automobile manufacturing country in the
world. When other countries begin to use more cars
there will be plenty of foreign markets for American
swift production methods in this country to make sue
cessful competition in cheap light cars from other
lands practically impossible.
The motor industry outlook remains rosy.

pig, and we II soon clean up this
dirt. -
"Then I'll go get Grandpa
Whackum,' offered Uncle Wiggily
and soon he was on his way to the
pond where the beaver folk lived.
Beavers, you know, are the masons
and carpenters of Woodland. The
beavers build dams of sticks and
stones, plastering them tight with
mud. They make a dam across a
stream and, thus holding back in
the water, they make a deep pond.
In this pond they build their
houses, shaped like old fashioned
bee hives. When the beavers use
mud with which to plaster they are
like masons. And when, with their
sharp teeth, they cut down big
trees to use in their dam, they are
carpenters.
ooh, Grandpa Whackum!' ex-
claimed Uncle Wiggily as soon as
he saw the beaver gentleman.
my ceiling has fallen!"
"Hal That s too bad! Then we
must plaster it up again for you, -
said Grandpa Whackum. Waddling
down to the pond he whackcd his
broad, flat tail, like mason 5
trowel, lun the water, making a
loud sound. This sound is the dan
ger, or attention call, and at once
many beavers came running up.
Toodle and Noodle Flat Tail, the
beaver boys, were there.
"Friends, we must all go to Tn
Gle Wiggily's bungalow said
Grandpa Whackum, "and plaster
up his fallen ceiling. Come along.
SO the beaver folk went to the
hollow stump bungalow. While
some mixed up mud, water and dri-
cd grass into mortar, other beavers
took wads of this queer plaster IN
their front paws and, holding it
against their chests, took it into
the house. Beavers do not, as YOU
might suppose, use their flat tails
for plaster work. The tail looks
like a mason S trowcl, but it is
never used for that work. The
beavers only use their tail for
swimming and very fast they go,
indeed.
But even without using their tails
to plaster with they soon had COW
cred nearly all the bunny gentle
man s ceiling as good as new.
True, the plaster was only brown
mud.
"But when it dries you can paint
it, Uncle Wiggily, and make it look
very stylish,' said Nurse Jane.
eyes, | can do that said the
bunny. The beaver folk had the
ceiling nearly plastered back on
again, climbing up on ladders made
of tree branches, when, all of a
sudden, Toodle cried:
"Here comes the Skillery Seal
lcry Alligator,'' And, surely
enough, that bad chap with the
double .ointed tail was crawling
along. The Gator had heard about
the fallen ceiling and said to him
self:
"The bungalow will be all in
confusion. 1t will be good chance
for me to nibbel Uncle Wiggily S
ears I'll go do it! y
But Toodle saw the Gator com
ing and he and Noodle and the
other beaver folk threw wads of
plaster mud in the Alligator S
