ard Of living, Mexico has been found
to rely on the evolution OF it's
masses to accomplish the same pur~
pose, something which naturally re-
quires a much longer process, and
it has been necessary to adopt protec-
veritable wards the future enjoy
Nnent Of their inheritance when
they reach the proper development.
The colonists cannot adopt the
standard of living of our masses,
and cannot satisfy his needs with
the price of their hire; consequent
ly, our immigration after independ-
ence was achieved, has chiefly con-
sisted of large and small traders
who weigh on the community with
out producing, or miners who use
native labor and constitute a more
desirable addition. 1t can be plainly
seen that the only feasible develop
ment of the country for the benefit
of it's children, consists in preparing
them through school and college for
the intelligent use of the resources
at their disposal. at the same time
through legislation suited for the
countrys particular needs.
Different Legislation
The legislation of the United
States, Great Britain and it's colonies
is based on the common law of
England, gradually developed through
jurisprudence; Mexico, together with
Continental Europe and Latin Amer
ica, derives it's legislation from the
Roman code, continued by Spain and
transmitted to its colonies In this
country the owner of the land sur
face is also the owner of the con-
tents of the subsoil; in Mexico and
the other countries mentioned the
are the property of the nation. I'm
der the imperial laws of Rome, the
minerals in the subsoil were the
property of the empire, and their eX-
ploitat:on was authorized through
special concessions; Spain continued
and extended this practice, through
the Alcala ordinances of 1347, the
ordinances of Castillo in 1886 and
the royal DEGREES of $780, Under
Spain minerals were the property of
the king, as the representative of
the state, and exploitation was grant
ed through concessions IN exchange
for royalties meaning imposts paid
to royalty, an expression which out
lived its origin.
The principles of these laws were
in force in Mexico from the time Of
the conquest, and the 'Novisima Re-
capitulacfon" of 1905, embodying all
those royal DEGREES, was the code
used in Mexico for many years after
the country became independent. In
later years mining legislation was
gradually perfected until the issue
OF the present laws, which cover
the subject in detail and include
provisions for more intelligent de-
velopment of the mining resources
of the country.
When petroleum was discovered in
Mexico around 1910, the newcomer
found no special legislation provided
to regulate it's activities, and verS
logically it was classed together with

An address touching upon the base
reasons for the difference of opinion
responsible for the threatened strained
relations between Mexico and the
United States concerning the pc
tro4eum and alien land laws of Mex
leo was delivered before press
clrb in Washington recently by f.
Suastegui, commercial attache of the
Mexican embassy. A copy of the ad-
dress, sent to Juan Marshall, Mex
ican consul at Douglas, reviews the
facts of the case in logical sequence
as follows;
Different Population
The American colonists found them
selves in possession of an immense
territory populated only by a few
tribes living mostly by fishing and
hunting, widely scattered and re-
drced in numbers, who kept up 9
condition of constant warfare with
the whites. No assimilation was pos
sib1e, the tribes gradually disappeared
and the country was built up with
Europeans in a high stage of civili.
zatfon who kept up their evolution
under favorable circumstances. On
the other hand, the largest nucleus
of Indian population in America ex-
listed at the time in MeXico on ac-
count of the favorable geographic
situation and climate, the country
being placed between the frozen
plains of the north and the torrd
climes of the tropics. 1t is esti-
mated that nearly ten million In
dams populated central and southern
Mexico when the Span1ards con-
quered the country, but not only this
fact forced an assimilation as the

set to work in city, field and mine
and furnished the tools with which
the Spaniards built up the colony.
Terrible plaques in later centuries
diminished their numbers, but to
this date they constitute the bulk
of our population, living together
with the direct descendants of the
conquerors and the representatives
of the blending of both races. In

PERSIMlION NORE VALUABLE
THAN MOST WOODS OF U. S.

Most people know the persimmon
tree better for its "puckery" fruit
and "possum" attraction than for
its wood. However, persimmon
wood possesses certain qualities
which make it particularly fit for
the manufacture of golf-club heads,
shoe lasts, shuttles for textile mills,
and numerous other small articles.
Few other woods except dOgwood
combine all of these properties
hardness, tOughness, fineness of
texture, and smOothness when sub
jected to ear-consequently per-
simmon wood is in great demand
and has for number of years
commanded a higher price than
most other native woods Of the Uni
ted States.
Although there are about 100 diff
ferent species of persimmon, only
two are found in the United States,
and only one of them is at present
commercially important. This is the
commonly called 'persimmon tree, "
date plum" "simmOn" or 'possum-
wood" 1t is often called American
ebony, because it happens to be a
member of the ebony genus, the
species of which are chiefly tropi-
cal. The name "date plum" is sup
posed to have been adopted from
the practice Of the Virginia Indians
who dried the fruit and preserved
it like dates.
Milford chronicle., 1926-12-17

Although this timber is found IN
the southeastern part of the United
States as far north as southern
PENNSYLVANIA and Iowa, its chief
commercial occurrence is in the
Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions
from Virginia to Texas and in the
lower Mississippi Valley lowlands.
Only about 100000 cords are avail
able for commercial use, according
to estimates of the stand made by
the Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
For this reason considerable atten-
ton is being given to methods Of
working the wood to prevent waste.
Up to 1880 Turkish lockwood was
practically the only material used
for making shuttles. About that
time, however, the r0ller-skating
craze made such heavy demands
upon this wood that it was neces-
sary for shuttle-blOck manufacture
ers to seek substitutes. Persimmon
and dog-wood proved highly salts
factory, with the result that today
80 per cent of the dogwood produced
and SO per cent of the persimmon
is used for shuttle blocks.

THE VALUE OF A SMILE AT
CHRISTMAS 7

It costs nothing, but creates much.
It enriches those who receive,
without impoverishing those who
give.
1t happens in flash and the mem
ory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None are so rich they can get
along without it, and none so poor
but are richer for its benefits.
1t creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in business, and
is the countersign of friends.
It is rest to the weary, daylight to
the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,
and Natures best antidote for trou-
BILE.
Yet It can not be bought, begged,
borrowed, or stolen, for it is some
thing that is no earthly good to any
body till it is given away!
And if in the last-minute rush of
Christmas buying, some salespeople
should be too tired to give you a
smile, may we ask you to leave one
of yours?
For nobody needs smile so much
as those who have none left to give!
We wish you Merry Christmas.

The rule set forth in a foregoing
article relating to the duty to avoid
injury to pedestrians had particular
reference to adult persons in full
command of their faculties. Unfor-
tunately, a large proportion of the
accidents which happen result in in
Jury to children, whose judgment
and discretion are not fully develop
ed and whom the law, therefore,
treats necessarily with increased
tenderness. Persons operating motor
vehicles along the streets of city
are bound to recognize the fact that
children will be found playing in the
street and that they may be some
times tempted to cross, unmindful OF
its dangers. The danger of injury to
a child being much greater than to
an adult, as a practical proposition,
the courts will uniformly hold the
driver of an automobile liable for
injuries to a child, when the circum-
stances of the accident, if the injury
had resulted to an adult, might not
Justify a verdict against the driver.
This is largely on account of the lib
erality of the courts in their consid-
Grafton of contributOry negligence of
children. The conduct of children
is not judged by the same rules
which govern that of adults, and
while it is their duty to exercise or
binary care to avoid injury, ordinary
care for them is that degree of care
which children of the same age are
accustomed to exercise under like
circumstances. In many jurisdic-
tions, children up to the age of sew
en- years are held to be incapable of
contributory negligence, and be-
tween the ages of seven and four
teen, their contributOry negligence is
ALWAYS a question for the jury and

Duty To Avoid Injury To Pedestrians Children.

not a matter Of law. They are held
to be entitled to a degree of care
from others propOrtiOned to their in
ability to fOrsee and avoid the perils
which they may encounter, and re-
gardless of the legal aspects of the
matter, ordinary human feeling
should prompt the motorist to eXer-
else the highest possible degree of
care when in the vicinity of children
of a tender age. The largest opera
tor of motor vehicles in one of our
large cities has recently adopted the
following slogan: "Your horn means
nothing to children-Slow down on
approaching them" He should do so,
even if children are playing on the
sidewalk, for it is impossible to an
ticipate the impulses of child, and
ones machine should always be un-
der such control that the driver can
stop almost instantly if necessary to
avoid injury to one of them. AS a
general proposition, however, the
duty of the driver of a motor vehicle
is to keep a lookout to avoid pedes-
trians and vehicles which may ap-
near in front of his machine, and he
is not generally required to look out
for children who may attempt to
climb on the side or rear of his We
hicle. Children, under such circum-
stances, are regarded by the law as
trespassers, toward whom the duty
of the driver is fulfilled if he COM
mits no intentional or wilful wrong.
The doctrine of attractive or allur-
ing nuisance" which in some cases
would make a driver responsible,
under such circumstances, has no
application to a motor vehicle pro-
ceeding along the streets, in the alb
sence of an express invitation to the
child on the part of the operator.

One of the problems which the
