AGREEMENT ON
OIL Law NEAR,

Minister of Trade De-

Assures Equal Protec-
ton to Foreigners
lRv The Associated Press. J


MEXICO CITY. Jan. 16.-In the opin
ion of Luis Morones, minister of trade
and commerce, the indications are mos
favorable for an agreement between
oil men and the government with regart
to the "details for the enforcement BY
the Mexican government of its new pc.
troleum law. Senior Morones expressed
this opinion after comforting with rep
resentatiyes of the industry.
"The Mexican government" he sale
in statement to The Associated Press
shas only one desire in its relations
with the petroleum industry-to make
it each day more important.
"The cooperation Of all companies
foreign and Mexican, is welcomed
There is no reason for doubling the
spirit of abundant welcome in which
Mexico always has received and always
will receive foreign business men who
are disposed to comply with the laws
of the Mexican republic.
"The Mexican government repeated.
ly has said that foreign investors WI
find in Mexico magnificent opportuni-
ties. They are given the same protec-
tion of law and the moral aid of the
authorities as Mexican investors The
only thing the Mexican government
cannot offer foreigners are privileges
not enjoyed by Mexican investors them
selves. In order to put both Mexicans
and foreign investors upon absolutely
the same equality the government has
passed laws applying alike tr both.
These laws are identical with those of
all other countries for safeguarding
their national interests without violat
ing their legitimate national rights.

Gold and Silver Stitching Decorative stitching in gold or silver metal thread apepars on many of the new street coats This type of embroidery is delightful on such | fabric as black juina or kasha, the soft surface Of the material and the dark background providing an en- gazing contrast to the hard glitter of the metal thread.
 Sketched today is very smart street coat of black iuina, elabor- atoly embroidered in bronze and gold tinsel thread. The novel feature of this trimming Is its position. In place of appearing on the cuffs or around the bottom, the stitching is used to form yoke, both back and front and to trim the upper portions of the sleeves.
 In addition to this decorative em- broidery, there are a wide collar and cuffs of kolinsky, as well as a band of fur at the hip-line in front.
 Well-dressed women select a coat Of this kind for wear over after noon frocks because of it's becoming straight lines, arresting trimming and lavish use of fur. It is a very tlattering model on account of the glittering embroidery in the upper portion which serves to counteract the sombre effect of the black cloth.
 This smart coat of black juina is embroidered in bronze and gold metal thread and lavishly trimmed with kolinsky.

Danny Meadow Mouse had al most forgotten that he wanted tc get home to Nanny Meadow Mouse and the Green Meadows. You see he was very pleasantly situated. He had most comfortable home warm and dry and sung. He wasn't in the least lonesome, because Neighbor Chuck was at hand. Neighbor Chuck had been as good as his word and had led Danny over to q garden. It was big gar den called market garden. Dan ny liked to go over there. He could always find a change of food. So, take it altogether. Danny was be- coming very well content.
 And then one day as Danny was sitting on the roof of his house taking a sun bath, he heard q familiar voice. It was a soft, twit- tering voice, Well, well, well, see who's here" said the voice. Just sec who's here! It's Danny Meadow Mouse, as l live."
 Danny looked up quickly. There was Skinner the Swallow, flying only a foot or two above the ground. "Oh, Skinner" squealcd Danny.
 Skinner turned as only Skim mer can, and wheeled in front of Danny. Where under the sun have you been, Danny Meadow Mouse 2"

 How is Nanny" asked Danny eagerly.
 She was looking mighty fine the last time l saw her." replied Skim mer. She didn't seem to be wor- ryng about anything"
 T hope she hasn't worried about me- said Danny, which really wasn't what he hoped at all.
 T don't think she has" replied Skinner. She seems to have been having a perfectly good time" Didn't she look for me at all 9" asked Danny.
 T don't know" replied Skim mer, T never asked her. She seems to have plenty of friends"
 At that Danny pricked Up his little round ears. What do you mean by friends?" he demanded.
 Why, friends" replied Skim mer. "A couple of fine looking Meadow Mice have moved over there since you left ands I think Nancy finds them very good neigh bors. Both of them seem to like Nanny. I heard they had had fight over her; but then yourknow you hear all sorts of things. Any way, I've seen them hanging around Nanny's home quite often."
 Does she have anything to do with them?" demanded Danny.
 Why shouldn't she?" inquired Skinner. "She thinks you're dead. Everybody on the Green Meadows thinks you're dead. That's why I was so surprised when l saw you just now"
 'Is - is is it very far from here to the Green Meadows ?" ask ed Danny eagerly.
 "Qulte distance, Danny; quite distance for one who can't fly" replied Skinner. Well, l must be getting along. l hope I'll find you here next summer on my return"
 You won't" squeaked Danny. But Skinner was already out of hearing.

which always have held you to so poised and sage plan of life.
 Please do not misunderstood me-" he went on. T am only con- cerned for your emotions, not your actions. Those will always be under your control. Bu I do not wish YOU to be unhappy nor do I wish you to compare, even subconsciously, the eXtravagant admiration of a tenn peramental genius with the stead fast devotion of a less spectacular but far more sterling personality"
 Whither for Happiness?
 Since the day my father was re- stored to me I always have revered his wisdom and his almost uncanny Judgment of character. It has been a reverence augmented by my knowledge of the high esteem in which those qualities of his were held by shr wd unconditional critics like Lillian lderwood and Allen Drake, who for so long were asso- ciated with him in the government secret service. But at his last words, l felt a sudden almost contemptuous decline in my estimation of his judgment. His appraisal of Philip Veritzen I did not dispute. But his holding of Dicky's "steadfast devo- ton" up for contrast knew of course that he meant my husband by his suited reference-left me wondering at his astonishing lack of insight. But his next words upset still another conception of his men, tai processes which I had held, and left me breathless.
 "All this does not meen that I am convinced your best happiness lies with remaining with your husband" he said. Ut all depends upon him. I have not been blind to his various philanderings all these years. In- nocuous as they were, still they are a grave injustice to you, especially as Richard would resent hotly any similar exhibition on your part. And if the time comes when you are con- vinced that he really cares for some one else, I should wish and advise you to find happiness elsewhere"

 Where have you been?" her mother asked again, sober as a judge.
 Honey Lou suddenly gave her sweet throaty laugh. Well, if you must pin me down, mother, Ivr been out with Jack Wal1ack. gel ting myself engaged to him." she said, smiling impishly. Then the dreamy look came back into her face.
 There was a note of high hap piness in her voice, as she went on; Mother, I'm going to be mar rled - to him. Tomorrow"
 Mrs. Huntley dropped down into the chair beside the yellow lamp. Her face was blank.
 Honey Lou, do you know what you're saying" she asked. Was that Jack Wallack who brought you home just now?"
 "Why, yes"

A normal child breathes through his nose. When such breathing is obstructed by growths within the nose, or by abnormal conforma- tion, by adenoids, or by large ton sils, the child develops a pinched and harassed expression.
 If the obstruction is severe enough to produce distress, the child will l have insufficient oxidation of it's blood, and it is safe evident that it's health must suffer. These con- ditions within the nose or throat should be corrected at the earliest possible opportunity. The Tongue Is Hint
 The old-time physician when | called to patient would always look first at the tongues "A clean, ! moist, red tongue" says Hugh Chap lin, indicates that digestion is satis- factory"
 There are diseases in which the tongue becomes coated. or develops peculiar markings. Sometimes it seems exceptionally dry. as in the presence of fever.
 While the observation of the tongue is seldom sufficient for the complete diagnosis of disease, the modern physician still relies on it's inspection for hints as to further observations.
 The normal child likewise moves quickly and efficiently to accom- plish important actions. It can at tend to most of its daily activities without fatigue and can indulge in most childish sports with reasonable celerity.
 As pr. Chaplin emphasizes par ticularly, however, between the ages of 12 and 14, the child undergoes changes associated with the estab- lishment of its sexuel characteris- tics. Its muscles become more powerful and its arms and legs grow more rapidly.
 Awkward Age
 During this period the child is likely to seem more awkward and to co-ordinate its movements with less efficiency than previously or afterward.
 As was emphasized In the article on the mental health of the child, healthful child is happy one; it is alert, smiles frequently and is ap- parently contented.
 III health is promptly associated 1,;, irritability. Frequently physical causes underlie what seems to be an extremely bad disposition.
 Attempts at physical punishment of a child that is not physically fit merely serve to establish mental re- sponses which may embarrass the entire future existence of the inno- cent victim of parental misunder- standing.
