Mexico Planning
2 New Highways

OF interest to motorists desiring
to visit Mexico by automobile is the
recent announcement made by Col.
Adalberto Tejada, secretary of com
munications and Pgblie works in the
cabinet Of President Gales, to the
effect that within the next four
months two great highways of in
tcrnatiopal Importance will be I'M
der construction IN MexicoN and an
other will be nearing completion.
One Off the proposed highways is
from MGvico city to the Laredo
gateway into the United States; an
other is from Mexico Citv to Tam
pico, the oil district of Mexico and
the third is the completion of 4 %
mile gap across the mountains in
the state Of Guerrero which will
bridge both terminals of the Mexico
City-Acapulco highways. \ gasoline
tax is now in effect to provide
funds for these projects, the pro
duc"rs bearing the burden of the
tax rather than the consumer.

Salinas Sends
ArtichOkes To
Local Chamber

From Salinas, county seat of
Monterey county and home of the
famous California Rodeo there came
to Secretary Carmichael of the local
chamber of commerce recently q
box of artichokes, for which the
beautiful Salinas Valley is justly
famed. These came as a present
from the good people of the Salinas
Valley as message of good will
and community cooperation.
About four years ago artichoke
culture was started, and today
thousands Of acres of fertile soil are
planted to this vegetable. Those
which reached this city came from
the famous old Rancho Bolsa Neuva
FL Protcro. de la Mora COLO, one Of
the last of the old Spanish grants.
Accompanying the artichokes came
an invitation for pleasure seekers of
this community to not overlook the
rodeo dates, July % to July p in
laying plans for summer vacations.
The artichokes were distributed
among the directors of the chamber
who declared them to be the finest
they have ever eaten, and who will
doubtless reciprocate by letting the
Salinas chamber know the taste of
real cantaloupe.

FISH AND GAME FOR THE PEOPLE

The people in western states intensely inter-
ested in the fight being made in their behalf by Fish
and Game Commissioner Ross of Portland, Oregon.
Mr. Ross is taking the position that fish and game in
cluding shell fish of all kinds, belong to all the
people OF the state primarily.
The ordinary citizen does not realize how the great
salmon industry and other of food supply
such the clam beds the beaches bays and rivers
and the king crab crawfish and shrimp being de-
sroyed by the ruthless march of commercial fisheries
DIR. Ross has made himself a heroic figure in the
Pacific Northwest in battling against wholesale de-
struction by fisheries, crabberes and clammeries
where with power boats, dragnets and every desruc
tive device carloads of these products procured
and shipped all country and to the big cities
of the east, actually discriminating and destroying
these great phases of sea life.
Hundreds of miles of coast, mud flats in
our bays and shores of great rivers emptying into
the Pacific have been literally denuded of every
vestige of these marine food supplies.
Shall all these delicious God-given supplies of
ocean food bred the Pacific coast and its estuares
and great rivers go the way of the buffalo, to be
only in aquariums written about in books and told
about by the pioneers? 1t remains to be Ways
and means must be provided that industry in
operation with the state, will replenish food
supplies to offset the amount taken in commercial
pursuits.

Here the navy flyers expect to

The group of eight naval aviators

'Our base at Etah is about 700

THE center of the unknown area
is only about 600 miles from Cape

GENIUS
d. c. Boy Makes Astounding
Impression in First Re-
citaI in Public
~ JESSIE MacBRIDE.

/ Youth justtfiably shared honorg
with Jascha Heifetz yesterday, when
the fffteen.year-old boy, Milton
Schwartz, violinist, gave. his first
entire recital here, at the National
Theater, in the afternoon of the
same day of HeifetH's evening re-
cital He has been called baby
Heifetz. That, of course, is going
too far, for it is only by rounded
maturity that such genuine gifts
as Milton Schwartz truly possesses
may reach that goal But without
overstatement, one may safely
has hitched his wagon to a star
that win carry him to fame.
Boy Has Genius.
!, What little Shura Cherkassky
reached, in public acclaim. Milton
Schwartz may claim, and more. For
he is four years older and has
ripened those years with a mastery
Of his instrument that has rare
virtuosity. Deep beneath, too, is a
musicianship that comes from the
heart, which is one SO young is
genius. Deep beneath there is also
q feeling in his rich tone quality
that brings tears-as when he
played the exquisite Adagio OF the
Bruch Concert, D minor.
We have to say today-"there are
no bad fiddlers" so the claim to
fame must lie in the subtleties.
Milton Schwartz asked no indul,
gence for youth. One caught the
spirit Of the profound "religioso"
in his Bruch, or Suave legato in
the Andante con moto of the
Beethoven Sonata No. ].
There is in his tone that widen
ing glow that gives life to 1t, that
seems to melt from one tone to
another. His intonation, too, is
finely pure while he commands his
bravura passages with fine aban-
don, catching the lit of the Sara
safe Spanish Dance" No. ], the
gypsy under the "Ziguenerweisen"
of Sarasate in which his depths
Of tone was most lovely.
Art Is Enduring.
What impressed most vitality,
aside from his freedom Of tech
nique, was a more enduring thing.
He put into the Kreisler Caprice
Viennois'' something that was
really GREATNESS, a color that gave
mastery to his double stops. He
wove simplicity and musical mean
ing into Gluck. Then, for en-
core, he wholesomely dashed off
with almost humor, the "Danss
Negre" of Cyril Scott.
That youth may not overtax its
strength and prevent full ripenink :
it is to be hoped that Milton
Schwartz will be guarded. His pres
ence is modest, yet prepossessing.
To Josef Kaspar in Washington
the foundation of this young artist
is due. He has come to us from
New York where Scipione Guidi
has taught him. But teaching does
not give that indefinable thing
that left few dry eyes when this
lad Of fifteen played much of his
music. That is the something

Heifetz was given an ovation at

evening by an audience far larger
than Washington could formerly

" filled this new concert hall with
perhaps double the usual concert
audience. It was the first concert
presented by the Peggy Albion con-
cert bureau, and It was q farewell, =
for at least two years, to this sky
lark OF violinists.
Heifetz,s violin technique is as
fleet and almost as indefinable as
the wind. His virtuosity astounds
with his marvellous dexterity, that
gives to his most intricate passages
an ease that has always character
lied this artist, and that losses off
his fairy flights like child's play.
Rare song bird Of the higher
spaces, the sparkle Of his harmonics,
their uncanny purity, keep UP this
illusion, which received its perfect
example in the Ries 'Persetuum
Mobile" and in his encore, the Zap

scaled high heaven. But there was
q deeper Heifetz Of warm golden
tone. Of eloquent lyric delivery in

rect he is In proclaiming q theme,
