Mucho Sc ha haDFa@o en- esto3
1ltimos dIas, sobre las obras mu-
nicipales, y muy especialmente ell
acueducto, que empezara a cons
truir la pasada administration
unienista en- San Juan FL repu-
tado ingeniero, don Jose Canals,
Quien durante los Iltimos dias de
la administration saliente, desem-
peflo ell cargo de Director de
Obfas Pdblicas, ha hecho recien-
temente sensacionales manifesta-
clones en- relaci6n con las obras
cuya construction iniciara Ia pa
sada administration.
En- contestaci6n esas mani =.
festaciones del senor Canals, y
otras muchas cosas que Sc han
dicho en- la prensa ultimamente,
nuestro estimado amigo ell como
edo y reputado ingeniero, don
Manuel Font, nos ha hecho las si-
guientes interesantfsimas manifes-
taciones:
''He leido los informes prepa-
RADIOS por el Director ex-Direc-
tor de Obras Pablicas en- relaci6n
con. las obras municipales en- cons
truccion, Y aunqne algunos COM
paneros v amigos me han aconse-
jado en- el sentido de que no de-
bo dar nj interes nj importancia
a la crItica que sc hace en- estos
infornles a las susodichas obras,
por Greer ellos que esta critica
obedece a una consigna politica de
difamaci6n y descredito general,
toda vez que estuve al frente de
estas obras desde mayo del 1923
a MARIO del 1924, me veo obliga-
do, no obstante ell eonsejo de mis-
compaheros, a defnir mi posici6n
ahofa por medic de la prensa, sin
perjaicio de que estas cuestiones
Sc ventilen mas adelante ante la
Sociedad de Ingenieros que es dom
de deben ventilarse y que una CO.
mission del seno de esta Sociedad
Olga impartial v autorizadamente
que hay de verdad en- todo. este
escarceo, y el publico sepa cien-
cia cierta a que atenerse.
La CARRETERA MUNICIPAL
Aunque no es MI quien toca
defender este proyecto, puesto
que va estaba confeccionado y la
carretera en- construction euando
me hice cargo a las obras muni-
cipales, tengo que referirme el
por la circunstancia siguiente:
FL senor Jose A. Canals fu6
contratado por la Administrator
Unionista en- calidad de ingenie-
ro consu1tor para revisar ell pro-
yecto de acueducto para San
Juan. Por sus servicios profesio-
males el Municipio pag6 al senor
Canals Ocho mil quinientos dola-
res. Pues bien, ell canino carre-
terra de marras forma parte de
ese proyecto de acreducto que en-
union de otros ingenieros revise
ell senor Canals. A los ingenieros
que tomaron parte en- la Junta
de Teenicos les consta que el Sr.
Canals nunca ptlso reparo al pro-
yecto del camino Y en- las Actas
de la Junta de Tecnicos no cons
ia que el hiciera objection alguna
la manera como ven{an desarro-
llandose los trabajos de la ca
rretera. Fue entonces que debi6
decir que Ell tai camino era inser-
vible Y no ahora al cabo de los
dos amos. Pero este no es todo.
Cuando el senior Canals fue nom
brado Director de Obras Publicas
en- julio del pasado arc, no sola-
nlente no paralzo la construction
dc esta obra, sino que al contra
rio continuo la construction del
canino hasta casi dejarlo terini-
nado y cuando lie liquido al con-
tratista 10 hizo aumenLando los

Hate.

If Europe would improve her state
she'll have to drop the ancient hate.
The people of the Old World lands
all carry shotguns in their hands, and
glare across the border-lines in
search OF riot or its signs, and then,
tor any cheap excuse, they turn a
warlike circus loose. They ought to
send some delegates to see how
these United States and Canada, fair
dame of SHOWS, dwell side by side
nor come to blows. No frowning
armies guard the line, no forts are
there, no bullets whine; no battle
ships watch either shore with
threats OF violence and gore. Old
Uncle Sam, he waves his tile, and
views our neighbor with a smile,
and Canada, she looks at him, and
would not rend him limb from limb ;
You are a good old scout" she
sighs, with warm affection in her
eyes; And you're peach" says
Uncle Sam; you suit me better far
than jam" To Canada our voters
go, TO wade around amid the snow !;
they're welcomed there like Santa
Claus, so long as they obey the laws
IdnauldIS CTOSS o ct our line, ana
always find the Welcome" sign; we
bid them all remove their wraps, and
stay eight months, or twelve, per
haps. When Europe's countries
cease to glare across their border
lines and swear, and swap the lion
for lamb, like Canada and Uncle
Sam, the griefs that rack their souls
today will shrivel UP and blow away.

DAVIS WANTS ADDED
IMMIGRATION CURB
Will Ask Quota Law for Canada,
Latin-America and
Mexico.

Secretary of Labor Davis has be-
come convinced from his investiga-
tlons in South America that fmmigra-
tion from the countries of South
America, as well as from Mexico and
Canada, should be placed on q quota
basis, as is the case with Europe.
He has announced that he would
press for legislation placing Canada
and Latin America on selective ba-
sis, but would give the Secretary oil
Labor authority to admit immigrants
from Mexico and Canada during la
Dor shortage, with the privilege OF
sending them back to their homes
after the condition was relieved.
Placing of the Latin American and
Canadian immigration on a seiective
and percentage basis, he said, would
greatly reduce the number of immi-
grants from those countries, estinat-
ing that IL II had been In effect last
year only 10000 of their nationals
would have been admitted to the
United States, whereas more than
100000 actually entered
The Secretary also said he would
press for legislation providing regis
tration for all immigrants in an ef-
fort to reduce the smuggling of
aliens across the international bound
ary. Patrolling the borders with
armed guards, for which Congress
has appropriated s1,o00,o00, 10 an In

AMERICAN MEN DRAW A LINE
Baltimore Sun


Baltimore men gladly followed the
manhood of France into uniform dur
ing the war, but with the other men Of
America they drew the line on follow
ing the French into a certain article
of peace time attire the dapper
Frenchman now is wearing. For
Baltimoreans are old-fashioned and
determined to reserve their masculin-
ity if they have to die for it.
Advices from Paris state that
boulevard haberdashers are trying to
give the men something as cool and
comfortable in summer as the
things" the women wear.
To justify themselves for wear
ing flimsy, silken things" after
much criticism from women who
charge the men with stealing their
styles, the Frenchman points to the
fact that girls have stolen every mas
culine style but the No. 10 shoe and
mustache.
An emphatic "No" came from Bal
timore street haberdashers when ask
ed if men were following the men Of
Paris into feminine unmentionables.
"We have very few calls for what
you are talking about" one clerk
shyly whispered today. And before
he would even discuss the subject
that no others were in his presence.
He apparently feared mob violence.
He went way back to the end of the
store and pulled box from under
the counter.
Here's all we have" he blushed,
holding up several suits of "things."
"But we've had 'em for long time.
No, sir, the demand is not large"
