MEXICANS SEEM
UN|NTERESTED IN
MILITARY SCRAP
Appearances on Surface
Seem Same as Four
Months Ago,
BY FRANK GIBLER.
Staff Correspondent

HOUSTON. Texas. Jan. 16.-I have
just returned to Houston after two
weeks spent in central Mexico.
I went to see the revolution. Last
October was in Mexico. Then every
thing was peaceful
This time a civil war is in progress.
Yet, on the surface. everything now
seems the same.
At Monterrey the same unhurried
people are on the streets. The same
crowd around the railroad station. The
same few persons in the cantinas. The
same "cervaza" and the same tequilla.
At the Quartet or barracks a few
soldiers We're lettering about. Two
were walking up and down before the
door. rifles over their shoulders. II
they were going to war against their
brothers, they did not seem to know IT,.
Business Rotten"
Business is rotten" complained an
American tradesman. bottom knocked
out OF everything. Money tighter'n
hell. Nobody wants to buy anything.
Eatin' everything they got. Produc-
ing nothin' Wish this damn revolu-
ton would stop" he said.
At Saltillo in the State Of Coahuila
the situation seemed to be the same
Same lack Of excitement-same lack
OF money-same lack of business.
San Luis Potosi looked q little diff
ferent. At the barracks across the
park from the railroad station was a
big white signboard painted in red
letters:
Recruits wanted; s1.55 a day" It
stated.
And the recruits did not seem 70 be
coming in very fast.
San Luis is the headquarters of
Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales, one Of the
principal figures In the civil war. Or
in the military war, perhaps I should
say, because the civilians are not
much interested in the scrap.
Goes to Mexico City
Maybe I'll find the revolution in
Mexico City" I thought, and went
OF down there.
1 saw a few recruits with red bands
around their hats marching away to
be soldiers.
l saw man from Guadalajara look
ing for two cars of Studebakers which
had been en- route to him when De
la Huerta started his revolution.
Oh, yes. railroad communication
with Guadalajara had been cut
Gen. Enrique Estrada was in charge
over there. went to Yurecuaro, as
far as the train went, and came back
toward San Luis Potosi.
At Irapuato l heard that Gen Man
uel DIeguez had captured Leon. The
train to FL Paso was being rerouted
stopped at Celaya and sent around
the other way.
Rail Communication Delayed
Next day the papers said Leon had
not fallen. But the trains didn't &c
| on through.
The train back to Laredo had been
delayed two hours leaving Mexico City
rifles to General Gales at San Luis.
/ The rifles never came.
Nuevo Laredo was just the same
| town that the trade trip folks saw.
I Maybe little more mud; that was the
only difference.
Same Mexican bars with American
names along the main street. Same
| few soldiers around the Quartet. Same
/ dirty little boys with their shoe-shln.
F ing outfits. Same queer odors around
+ the market place. Business was bad.
/ Maybe there is a revolution in
/ Mexico-but the people don't seem to
/ know It.
/ They will soon--business is bad.

In October, 1872, w. S. Lowry en-
listed as one of the eleven young
men to join the original group of
mail carriers when the delivery serv-
ce was first installed in Pittsburgh.
They were of the best and sturdiest
of the young men in the city. To-
day there are 500 carriers in the
city and Lowry is among the most &C
tive of them. Literally. when he Ell
listed he took a Job to walk nine
times around the world, carrying 200
pounds of mail daily in so years. 1t
was to be an all-weather jaunt, tc
move with the clock on the minute,
through hot and cold, and wet and
dry. Mr. Lowry has made good.
Lowry is now the dean of the Pitts
burgh carriers and an exalted VOC
eran among the carriers of the ma
ton. His record over so years
which entitled him to four stars,
computed at 10 miles a day with a
daily burden of 200 pounds, figures a
total mileage of 225,000 and a total
poundage of 100000 pounds or
about 100 carloads!
Mr.. Lowry hands out mail today, as
he did years ago, to Andrew Carne-
gle and other notsbles of Pittsburgh
history. He Is a survivor of thou
sands with whom he served. He is
still going strong and diligently ap-
plies himself to g. task at which he

Barry Is Elected

Their hopes were heightened when
Charles L. Barry, shortridge grad
nate, was elected president Of the
board. Before his election he opposed
other high school building On the
ground that Shortridge should be
cared for. But during his year in
the presidency not only was nothing
lone for Shortridge. but the who'll
building program came 10 a dead
standstiH. Not one brick was laid
curing his administration.
Again Shortridge took up the battle
and sent a strong delegation to the
board to urge action. This time they
we're told grade schools must be built
20 relieve miserable hotsing facilities,
and again Shortrsdge was patient.
Then, only a month ago, the Short
ridge sun rose. Architects for q new
Shortridge. along with a west side
and colOred high schools, were Sc
iected. Then when all seemed rosy,
Yoke and Johnson succeeded w. D.
Allison and Bert S. Gadd on the board
and the two new members Joined with
Barry. Shortridge graduate. and voted
to stop all high school extension &C
tivity
So Shortridge is back in the old rut
with its overcrowded halls. its badly
lighted basement rooms used for class
work, with rooms rented in buildings
off the school grounds TO care for its
overflow. But Shortridge is not yet
licked, and the next meeting of the
school board will find once again a
determined delegation on hand to fight
for the new building Shortridge some
time, somehow will get.

WhyDOctOrS Warn

TINE reason is simple. Coffee and tea contain

should not drink tea or coffee at al"

You are careful to protect the health of your

Long Distance Surgery

Buffalo Evening News: Is even
surgery to be industrialized? A plan
is under consideration in the Mayo
sanatorium at Rochester, Mimi, for
utilization of the radio for long-dis-
lance operations.
The idea is to have charts made,
through X-rays, of the bodies of per-
sons in need of treatment.
The charts would be conveyed by
telegraph or wireless to a central sta
ton where experts would hold dia-
gnostic clinic to determine if an opera
ton should be performed. If it were
decided such procedure was necessary,
the knife would be guided by radio
from the central station. All that the
attendant surgeons would have to do
would be to stand by.
We may come to this some day;
and If we do, it will narrow the field
of surgery to few qualified experts

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY

-HE National City bank of New York pub-
lished some stimulating figures recently.
Read them and file a shelf in your
mind, and the next time you hear member OF
that small but noisy group which has been doing
its best to "sell the country short" this year,
moan about how things slipping back to the
tough times of thirty years ago, tell him to con-
suit doctor.
In May, 1898, deposits in the New York Ma
tional City bank about ,000, 900 and total
resources about $26,OOO,O0O. In April Of this
Year of Our Lord 1924, the same bank reported
approximately $74O,OO0,O0O on deposit, with re-
sources of 934000,000.
No money in the country-and all that in
