WEST COAST PRODUCTS.

The largest daily shipment of
Mexican perishable products to
pass through the customs house
of the port of Nogales occurred
yesterday when 93 carloads of
vegetables and melons were
cleared, says Wednesdays Daily
Herald
Yesterdays clearance brings
the total of the 1921 season up
to that of the preceding year.
During the season of 1923 total
ed to March 9th approximately
1922 carloads of vegetables and
melons were cleared through the
U. S. customs house. This year,
to date, 1917 carloads have been
passed.
During the month of April
alone, 9l7 carloads were passed
and approximately 300 addition
al carloads are expected.
This season, to date, 1871 car
loads of tomatoes have crossed
the line of which the major por-
ton will be consumed in the
United States in the markets
west of the Mississippi river.
Tuesday was one Of the big
gest days the customs house has
known" remarked Charles L..
Fowler, collector of customs, to
the Herald today.
When we stop and consider
that 90 carloads Of Mexican
vegetables were passed through
the customs in a single day then
we realize the vast, fertile field
to the south"

Bell Worn By Sacrificed
Maya Maidens
By HAROLD MATsoN

NEW YORK, April 2.-Sacrifice
ed to the Maya!
Could a strange Influence of an
Gent fatalism extend a sinister arm
down through the ages to mark
man as a sacrifice to his people?
And, by the same token, could
that power Eeach out to Involve an
American woman in the intricaciea
and mysteries of an ancient super
stition?
Perhaps it is but coincidence,
| yet there is something of the occult
in the romance of Alma Sullivan
Reed, an American writer, and Fee
lipe Garlic, who was governor of
Yucatan, Mexico.
A tiny copper bell, tinkling an
echo of death, links the life of Alma
Reed to that of the ancient Maya,
Down through the ages the amulet
has come to tell the story of the
maidens of Maya who were thrown
to death in the Well of Human
Sacrifice.
Ard today, Alma Reed wears the
bell, a symbol of love and death. Is

beauties wore when marked for
sacrifice.

Alma Reed!
Years before the bell tmklec

being interviewer with the Maya,

she befriended Mexicans in Cali
fornia. Then the fascination OF
archaeology for her drew her to
Yucatan, where traces of the an
cient civilization of the Maya arc

There she met Felipe Garlic,
hero of the people-the "predesti-
ned"
There was a spontaneous love,
yet enriched with the glory of the
Mya who lived thousands of years
before.
Alma Reed and Garlic were to
have been married last January.
While she was in San Francisco, her
heart beating with the tinkling
Maya bell, the de la Huerta rebels
captured and executed Garlic.
Garlic, who had freed the Maya
from persecution, was sacrificed
