MEXICO CHANGES PRESIDENTS

Plutario Elias Gales was on Sunday 'naugurated as president of Mexico. The most remarkable feature of the ceremony 1as the absence of those former con-
 omitants of such events in Mexico,
 ,mely armed assaults upon the president
 ect by his defeated rivals. There is
 tie doubt that an era of law and order
 s dawned for Mexico. President Obre-
 n, by his wise and moderate rule, has .sss .ed the way for such period in that hitherto riotous land. The United States, in Its resolute policy of delivering muni- tiohs of war to constituted Mexican au- thority, and denying arms to rebels, has given a death blow to the elements that formerly sought to rule with terror.
 It is not believed that General Gales is of the caliber of Obregon, but he is
 choice of the people, and has shown commendable enterprise by his recent tour of the world on which he met lead ing statesmen and doubtless built up abroad a prestige for his country that has recently been lacking. Probably recognition of Mexico by other govern ments will be more general and prompt than in the past. If President Gales can exercise his functions wisely for the period of his incumbency, there is little doubt that the Mexicans have arrived: As their closest neighbor, the United States sincerely hopes so.

SCHOOL TRAFFIC SQUADS

Organization of squads among the older boys of Birmingham's schools for protection of the younger children, as worked out by the head of the city's traffic force and the superintendent of schools, is valuable educative as well as precautionary feature. A recent survey by one of the leading life in- surance companies showed that Birning- ham in 1923 had the largest number of automobile accidents per hundred thous- and people in a list of thirty-eight cities with from ten thousand to two hundred thousand population. The record has not been appreciably improved since that time, according to reliable statistics.
 In view of the crowded conditions of the schools and their location in con- gested sections, it is important that the smaller children especially, who do not realize the traffic dangers, should have extraordinary protection. Organization of the proposed traffic squads, therefore, will not only help to safeguard the smaller children, but should be protec- ion to the great majority of motorists who try to observe the traffic laws, but who are liable to have accidents through no fault of theirs. Especially in school districts are traffic conditions becoming more and more dangerous. Doubtless these youthful officers will have the full and cordial cooperation of the pub- lie, both afoot and awheel.

CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHEST

The way in which subscriptions to the Community Chest are coming in, after the regular canvass was discontinued for the individual solicitation plan until the full amount is raised, indicates that, while for some reason this year Birmlng- nam may seem slow in performing this community duty, there is little doubt that the amount accurately estimated to are for the charity and benevolent lrl- erests will be raised. Birmingham has ever failed in a duty closely involving ot only worthy cause, but com unity obligation. Birmingham will not all this time. Industrial conditions are ighly favorable in this district, and there less excuse than ever for neglecting a responsibility of this kind.
 The decision to put the project on a 4asis of individual solicitation will doubt less prove wise and practical. There are hundreds of citizens and many interests that purpose making donations, others who can easily be persuaded to do so if he cause is properly presented, and still thers who may be impressed with their community responsibilities in this respect j fter they have talked with Chest work IS. Thus what appears at first blush o be neglect of duty on the part of many citizens will prove to be either a natter of oversight or failure to appreci- ate their personal obligations to the com munity.
 Let 1t be remembered that the raising of funds for the Community Chest is not the special obligation of any group or interest. It is a community duty, and should be as widely distributed as pos sible among the citizens according to their means It should be borne in mind that not alone are the benevolent in- terests aided, but the performance of this public duty helps the community at large through the many practical benefits which it thus enjoys. It is hoped and believed that within the next few days the full amount necessary will have been raised.

THE SAuIEss WINDsHIP

The sailless windship, which has given such complete satisfaction in it's trial runs in the North Sea and is now lying in Kiel harbor awaiting further developments, is regarded by seafaring men as discovery of the highest importance. Invented by Anton Flettner, It appears to consist of hull carrying two re- volving towers equipped with blades. When the wind strikes against the blades, the en- tire tower is turned, and the power so gen erated is conducted through the hull and sets the propellers in motion. According to the report, one man is enough to attend. to the details. Should the new method of propulsion prove generally practicable, it is easy to see the economies that can be effected both in fuel and fuel space. We may, indeed, be on the eve of a revolution in ocean transporta- tion. At all events, so great scientist as Einstein is of opinion that the Flettner wind ship marks a new era in ship construction.

A DISAGREEMENT (Find the Error in This Article.)
By W. CURTIS NICHOLSON

George A. Buckley, Oak Park, H.: "Youi statement regarding the second sentence sounds like a challenge, and as the intentional error appears in There only is one mistake in the foregoing sentence the conclusion is that your use of were with none was without design.
 Mir. Webster says, none, ........ Latin memo, nemensis, that is, no man. l, Not one used of persons or things
 Therefore, it appears that the sentence should have read, None was very much pleased with the outcome.'
 q should be glad to read your comments in The Right Word."'
 Answer: You have quoted nothing from Webster, which would, as far as Webster is concerned, preclude the use of 8 plural verb with the pronoun none. It is true that, from its origin, none is singular. But usage has for many years established the fact that it may be considered either singular or plural. The number of none depends on the under laying meaning of the sentence of which it is part.
 If the thought is that not even one re- mains, then it is appropriate to use sing ular verb with none; as, I had thought that I should find at least one apple in the barrel, but there was none.
 If the thought is that there should be some but that there are not any, then it is correct to use a plural verb with none; as, There are none on the table.

A CITY'S NEWSPAPERS

The daily survey of exchanges" must prompt many an editor to wonder why it is that some cities are so we'll newspapered while others, similar in size and character as well as adjacent in territory, are so poorly served. It might be invidious to cite the i'm stances which will leap at once to anyone's mind, but the fact is that in Massachusetts alone curious cases of this discrepancy are fairly numerous. It is no doubt purely matter of personality on the part of owners and publishers, some electing to produce the best that the traffic will bear and others con tentng themselves with the poorest the public will stand. One good newspaper in a fair sized town generally compes rising of the local standard; but where this eaven is lack ing the product is commonly poor, despite the glaring contrast with other communities not very far away.--Lowell Courier-C Citizen
