Paris, Sept. S.-Europe is playing
with matches in a powder magazine.
One does not need to be an alarm
list to realize that and, unless proven
tive measures are taken, there is the
possibility of an Adriatic struggle
which will develop into war of
major proportions.
Now that Jugoslavia has decided
to take advantage of Italy's preoccu-
patton with Greece to reopen the
Fiume wound, it is plain that mere
submission by Greece will not solve
the matter. Once Jugoslavia takes
up arms it would be rash to predict
that Hungary, which has been watch
ing for the opportunity TO re-seize
its lost provinces annexed by Serbia,
could resist the temptation to plunge
into the m lestrom. In short. the
talk such as one hears in official
quarters in Paris of "localizing" the
conflict seems as idle as similar talk
in 1914.
The conclusion is forced that, I'M

With he reputation for friendliness
towards the Mexican people that the
city of San Antonio has in that coun-
try /: is no strange that there should
be such interest here in the announce
ment of the news that recognition
Of the administration of President OBJ
RECON is an accomplished fact.
1t is perfectly natural, also, that
there should be considerable interest in
the various news dispatches concerning
the election that is to decide upon the
successor TO General Obregon which
is about to be held ana every one
hopes for the selection OF leader who
will represent an embodiment of de-
sire for the best Of friendly relations

publics.
A Maker of Shoes.
Among the various candidates whose
names have been mentioned for the
post of chief executive of Mexico
there appears the name of Carlos
Zetina, o shoe manufacturer. 1t is
not clear whether Mr.. Zetina is ac-
tually candidate, or of what party
he may be the standard bearer, but the
very fact fhatshe hassbe6n mentioned
as a possible candidate for the presi-
dency is creating a profound impress
sion not only among the Mexicans
themselves but among the foreigners
who knew anything of the country.
Until comparatively recently it was
said that the son of a family of any
consequence must be either d general
or lawyer and t was such custom
for these two professions to be fol-
lowed that 1T became to be generally
accepted as the logical thing.
The Mexican with means, if he were
not lawyer or general was planta-
ton owner, or rancher, with estates
and herds and the industries of the
country were largely in the hands of
the foreigners, that is the manufacture
ing industries. as is generally known.
Now here is a Mexican shoe man
ufacturer, neither lawyer nor a
general, rancher or large farmer, ac-
tually mentioned as a candidate for
president. 1t shows that the Mexicans
are coming into their own in the in
dustrial field and it also shows that
somebody. at least, s that :. leader
of industry might make a good leader
of nation and that prrhaps there
may not be so much need of the dom
mating military .piri ,'Lich has been
inherited by the Mexican from all
sides.

Why doesn't London speak this

SHOE MANUFACTURES DOOMED
FOR PRESIDENT OF MEXICOI
. HAS SCHOOL FOR EMPLOYEES
Zetna, Suggested as Candidate, Is Industrialist
and His Proposal for Office Shows Industry
Is Making Progress in Sister Republic.

Tacubaya, a twenty-minutes ride on
the electric cars that pas: tie famous
park of Chapultepec with its historic
old castle and the Military Academy,
is the up-to-date, imposing shoe fac
tory of Carlos Zetina, equipped with
the latest machinery and reminding
one with its humming and clicking
noises Of some American shoe city
scene.
A shoe factory is shoe factory
and does not inspire much romance,
but there is feature conencted with
Mr.. Zetina's shoe factory that prob
ably has served to create for him
some of the popularity he enjoys
among progressive men in Mexico and
that is the free school he maintains
for the employees aid their children
and some four or five hundred of
these daily attend this school and the
older employees may attend the evening
classes. The school is following the
standard set by the department OF
education and besides the required
branches the teaching of English is Of
fered as an elective for those who
wish it.
Last spring the Rotary Club of
Mexico City, Of which Mr.. Zetina is
very active member, ate their usual
lunch out at the factory and then
after inspecting the school and fac
tory, were delighted with the military
drill of the Boys with flas- saluting
exercises, for one of the staff of the
school S ply ical director and
physical exercises develop She muscles
of the children whose minds aresbe-
ing developed by the other teachers.
A clear-eyed, sharp-voiced, itockily-
built, muscular man of medium height,
Mr.. Zetina courteously welcomes visi-
tors to his factory and school and
the Rotarians were loud in their
praise of the establishment which
seems 10 represent the progress of
Mexico along industrial lines and to
show the readiness to adopt modern
American machinery and methods of
production to the country's needs.
Mr.. Zetina has some very definite
ideas as writer and talker on the
relation of capital and labor and his
articles IN Spanish and English have
attracted considerable favorable COM
ment for he is in a position to be
able to offer some practical sugges-
lions. Altogether he is n Lew and pro-
gressive type in Mexico and whether
he ever becomes president or simply
remains business man his influence
on the future industrial development
must be felt.

The radioactive minerals and their
products in the rocks seem to, prove
that the earliest known sedimentary
rocks must have been laid down one
thousand million. or more years ago.
The life Of that time as read from the
rocks was essentially like the lower
types that still exist. Similar she'll

can live only where the temperature
does not remain permanently below
freezing and where it never rises
much above perhaps $50 degrees
Fahrenheit.
The air Of those vastly remote days
must have been much like that Of to-
day, for even the lowly forms Of life
require oxygen. nitrogen, carbon diox-
ide and water in order to live and
reproduce their kind. The sun itself
cannot have been greatly different
from our present sun, for otherwise
the earth's climate would have been
80 different from that Of today that
It would have been wholly incom-

Gasoline From Coal.

The conversion Of soft coal into
liquid oil was the subject Of lecture
delivered to the Mining society Of the
University Of Birmingham by Dr.. F..
Bergius, an eminent research chemist.
The process Is simple. To coal under
very high pressure the gas hydrogen
lis added. and the result Is that 90 per
cent Of liquid oil Is obtained. BY vari.
GUS notifications of the process it lis
possible to produce petrol or other
kinds Of mineral oil. A process which
would enable a large part Of the Brit.

into liquid fuel would secure Britain
against any risk Of a liquid fuel famine
