The New Mexican Ambassador.
Engineering and Mining Journalo

Engineering and Mining Journal)
 It must give President Coolidge great deal of satisfaction and pride to apont a man like Dwight W. Morrow to be Ambassador to Mexico for the appointment has certainly been made as result of the high esteem in which he holds the man, and without those political considera- tions which so often limit executives field of action. Mir. Morrow classmate of the President at Amherst, an old and trusted friend He is brilliant lawyer, business man, and ex- ecutiya of the human variety. Though associated with the house of Morgan in New York for the last thirteen years, he stands for more than the aristocracy of wealth. He was selected by the Morgan firm for his financial ability and business acumen. He has made all the money that he wishes, and asks that his sons do likewise with out any financial inheritance from him. Always interested in public service he has now appar- entity at the age of ffty-four, decided to devote the remainder of his life to such work severng all of his previous business connections so that he may be free to do so.
 In Mexico MT Morrow will have real prob lem, which must be solved automatically and sympathetcally He will find country that has been trying to find itself for sixteen years in period when the world has been in poor position to help. Many of it's problems are not unlike those of the French Revolution, which, it may be remembered not accomplished in day. In it's effort to adjust the old wrongs of it's people the Mexican Government has not so far been conspicuousy successful has it always been wise just in it's foreign relations. American mining and oil companies have much just for compalnt, but of them have also, in their attempts to put over interruptions deals. fared as they deserved
 MT. Morrow can. and we believe will. be more than representative of the political and business interests of the United States in this most import ant, perhaps of all diplomatic posts Having become acquainted with the caliber of the man, the Mexican people may we'll come to regard him as a friendly counselor to Mexico we'll, to the end that that country may soon emerge from its distracted condition and, with it's great poten- tial mineral and agricultural wealth, become a happy and prosperous nation.

Dr. Mcbride.
fNew York World ]


 There are few surely, who will envy the Rev. Dr. Francis Scott Mcbride, who has just been named as successor pro tenn. to the post left vacant by the death of Wayne B. Wheeler, Gen eral Counsel of the Ant-Saoon League For he takes charge of army which has won the battle and lost the
 Ten years ago the battle loomad the only important thing the horizon. Once Prohibition was written into the law of the land it would all be over but the shouting; there might be a routine job of mopping up, few minor skrm- ishes, but nothing to mar the joyousness of the celebration for the dry millennium But then Prohibition arrived, and it turned out the job of hopping up bigger than the battle The speakeasy took the place of the saloon and the snarl of an outraged citzenry took the place of the thankful hosannas that confidently expected. The dry millennium did not come.
 Thus the army which Dr. Mcbride is called upon to command is tired and somewhat dis illusoned army. In the words of it's late com mander, Mr. Wheeler it has been "demobilized,' and some of it's members suffer from "demoraliza- tion'' and cold feet What Dr. Mcbride dc with it? That remains to be seen. He may lead it to glorious Marne he may accept the grace ful possibilities of Appomattox, he may emulate Custer and let it be scalped to the last But of this much may be certain--he has dreadful job his hands, job as thank less as any man ever tackled

TZWO big relay meets, with spe-
cial events, will be the main
attraction for athletes In the
L East and Middle West this
week. Up at Philadelphia the
University of Pennsylvania holds its
annual competitions, long heraldee as
the biggest track and field games OF
ths year, while out at Des Moines
Drake University has scheduled a
similar set of games.
Practically every track and field
athlete of any worth in the East and
many from the Middle West will be at
PENNSYLVANIA, while the Drake meet
draws from the Missouri Valley sec
tion and from the Middle West.
Both meets list relay races for the
championship of the country, and, of
course, neither is a real championship
event. In both are sprint relay cham
pionships, yet there are more sprinters
of note in three colleges in California
than in all the colleges in the East.
And in all probability there are some
great mile relay teams besides those
that are entered in the Penn meet or
the Drake meet.
But even so. both meets are we'll at.
tended and have entered i'm them some
of the greatest athletes. No doubt the
competition in both will be brilliant.
Not only is that true of the relay races,
but also of the events for individuals.
The iayelin throw at the Penn games,
for instance. is bringing together some
of the best exponents Of that art.
Special races for three of the fastest
sprinters in the country, Locke, Scholz
and Russell, have been scheduled, yet
Locke. who represents Nebraska, was
beaten just while ago by one OF the
California sprinters.
Practically every school in the
North is represented by relay team
in the Penn meet, but for one reason
or another few of the Southern col
leges and universities send quartets.
Georgia Tech, Virginia, George
town Maryland and Johns Hopkins
are regular entrants, but entries from
any of the other institutions are few
and far between.
George Washington, Gallaudet and
Catholic University probably send
teams more often than any schools
other than those mentioned.
With the adventures here in the
last two weeks of Yale, Princeton.
Harvard, Pennsylvania and other big
Northern schools, college base ball has
seen it's best day for this year. Any
games that remain to be played will
be something in the nature of an anti
climax, excepting games to be played
on trips and several Southern Con-
ference games at Maryland. George.
town, Catholic University and Mary
land all play Navy. But base ball
on local college fields will not have
anything OF as much interest as that
which has gone.
