Vera Cruz, Mexico, April e.-vera Cruz, once the pestience spot of the Mexican Gulf. with the buzzards con- stituting it's only sanitary service, has in the few years since the American bombardmcnt and occupation of the city in l9l4, oblitcrated its unfavor- able reputation of the past Today it Is amoung the cleanest and health- jest cities of the sub-tropics. Yellow fcNor and malaria have been reduced to minimum, and other tropical diseases are being combatcd success fully,
 The bu2zards that once clustered about the city in great numbers are still to be seen. but they eke out a moaGre livelihood from tho few scraps that gain their way 10 the streets. The open sewers that once ran through the ccnters of the thor ouGhfares have disappeared. and modern sewage disposal system has been installed. During the de Ia Huerta occupation additional sanitary precautions were taken, and the fed eral occnpational authorities are eN- hausting every means to render the city free from disease.

TELLS KIWANIANS
 ABOUT CHARACTER
Rev. John L. Davis Says It Takes
 Years to Build It Up

"A man can be converted in a min- up q character" said Rev. John L. Davis, in an address to the New Brit ain kiwanis club at noon today at the Burritt hotel.
 Rev. Mir. Davis told his hearers that reputation is what people think T man is and character is what lie really is.
 He spoke of the influence of little things upon life and said every mis- take, even to a mispefIed word or q misdirected envelope, has something to do with mans character.
 He described the characteristics of various races and said the American is So open minded that he usually. re- Neals what is in him and for this req son the character and reputation of the average American generally CO., ineide. He cited Coolidge. Roosevelt, Lincoln and Wilson as men Of this type.
 man may go into Billy Sun day meeting a drunkard, become con Nerted and come out a sober man." he said. But he can't take on a new character that suddenly. The con- verted man must be guarded and watched like a delicate plant"
 He referred to men suddenly gong wrong and said they have been going wrong for a long time, but it has just broken out. He illustrated by saying that while "old Faithful" geyser in Yellowstone park only spurts up every v minutes and just takes a sec ond 10 do it, the water is boiling for the entire 77 minutes.
 Some people forget it takes years 10 build np character" he said. We say it takes one woman 90 years to make a man of fellow, while an other woman can make fool of him in l5 minutes. She doesn't make n fool of him in f5 minutes. It's been in him for years, she's just brought it out"
 This characteristic, he said. was TO- sponsible for trouble in many homts. What devil Of inconsistency is in man who will be kind and treat other women and children well and go home and abuse his own wife and children?"
 He told his hearers that bankers figure character as 6S per cent of a mans borrowing ability.
 The line Of demarkation between good man and s bad man is pretty thin. Some good men arc crowding mighty close to the line and some bad men are just over the line"
 Representations of Al Jolson were given by Stanton Ashley. A. G. flaw ker won the attendance prize.
