MEXICO'S OIL CASE DECISION.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Mexi-
can Supreme Court has gratified the
people north and south with its recent
decision that the confiscatory oil law
recently enacted in Mexico is uncon
stitutional.
This outcome should cause genera
satisfaction. 1t should satisfy thu
protesting American ok companies
1t should satisfy the state depart
ment. 1t should satisfy the Gale
government, which is extricated from
an embarrassing position without los
of prestige. And it should satisf,
that great body of disintereste
American opinion which has resolute
ly insisted that the dispute over tn
Mexican oil laws was a justiciabl
question which ought to be settled b.
the judicial process.
We are not so naive as to suppOs
that the Mexican supreme court is S
free of political bias that it's decisio
is uninfluenced by the policy Of tn
Gales government. It is most prob
able that this decision IS just exactl
what the Gales government wishe!
We have little doubt that this decisio
was timed to follow the appearance c
Ambassador Morrow and that it is
first step in the program of reconci
iatiOn on which the two government
have now entered.

These retroactive proceedings are
costly to the government and to

grossly unfair where no dishonesty is
practiced. They are subject to grave
abuse. 1t is to be hoped that congress
will accept the advice of the commit
tee and put an end to them.

on to Federal forest land"
In the case of the United States
VS.. D. J. Afford, just decided by the
Supreme Court, Afford had been in
dicted for building fire on land adj
jacent to the Florida National Forest
and not extinguishing the fire before
leaving it, as result of which ma
tional forest lands were burned over.
The count was demurred to on the
ground that the Federal statute did
not cover leaving fire at any place
except on Government land. The
District Court for the Southern Dis
trict of Florida sustained the demur-
rer an dthe case was brought up to
the Supreme Court.
The statute involved reads in part
whoever shall build a fire in or
near any forest, timber, or other in
f1ammable material upon the public
domain shall, before leaV-
ing said fire, totally extinguish the
same; and whoever shall fail to do
so shall be fined not more than one
thousand dollars, or imprisoned not
more than one year, or both"
In handing down the opinion of
the Supreme Court, Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes said: "The purpose
of the Act is to prevent forest fires
which have been one of the great
economic misfortunes of the country.
The danger depends upon the near
ness of the fire; not upon the owner
ship of the land where it is built
The statute is constitutional.
Congress may prohibit the doing of
acts upon privately owned lands
that imperil the publicly owned for
ests. Taken in connection with
the danger to be prevented it lays
down a plain enough rule of conduct
for anyone who seeks to obey the
law"
The Forest Service points out that
80 per cent of the forest fires which
annually burn over vast areas of
public and private lands in the Uni
ted States are man caused, and
therefore preventable by the exer-
else of care.

FEDERAL FOREST FIRE LAW
UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT

The Supreme Court has just de-
cided that carelessness with ire
not be confined to Federal forest
lands in order to constitute a GRIM
inal offense under Section SO of the
United States Criminal Code. Leav-
ing a fire near Federal forest with
out totally eXtinguishing 1t even
though the fire is started on private
land is a criminal offense in the
ewes of the Court, and punishable by
fine or Imprisonment if national for
est timberland is endangered. The
decision is especially important to
national forest protection, according
to the Forest Service, of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
for their many thousands OF miles Oh
boundary are subject to the grave
danger of fires that originate on ad-
iacent private lands and may sweep
into national forest land.
"This decision, coming at the very
beginning of our main forest hre
season, will be powerful factor IN
preventing carelessness with flre on
private lands within and near the
natl Lhal forests" according to h. Il.
Carter, acting forester of the For
est Service. 1.-The careless camper or
!; owner can no longer plead private
ownership as an excuse for leaving
a live fire which escapes into Gov
ernment timber. This, combined with
; the fact that the law applies equally
clearly and forcefully to fires aban-
doned on Government land, gives a
strong weapon for combating this
phase of the fire problem.
"The Forest Service co-operates IN
fire protection with many private
owners whose lands adjoin or inter-
mingle with national forest land, but
there are many other owners and
many visitors who are careless with
fire and endanger public property"
said Mr.. Carter. 1.-THE Forest Service
welcomes visitors to the national
forests for recreational and other
purposes, but it can not afford to be
lenient with those who enoanger
these vast public properties, and is
compelled in their defense to strict
enforcement of the forest fire stat
Mes. All campers and travellers
within the national forests are war
ned to drown their camp f1res with
water. to dispose of matches and
smoking materials safely, and to OBJ
serve the mo smoking regulations
Svhere they are in effect. Likewise it
yarns local farmers and settlers to
burn brush and other debris only In
wet weather and in strict accord
ance with State and Federal laws,
-Temembering that they are respon-
s,hIe for the escape of any such fires

DEAR MONA DEWES-I am girl
20 years of age. l am very deep in
love with fellow 2S, but he doesn't
care for me. am good looking, my
hair is black, eyes blue, light COM
plexion. l attend dances and par
ties, and dress very well. lie never
goes to any dances or parties where
I am. He won't notice me. He has
@een married once, and left his wlte.
V&Iis occupation is a mechanic. He is
goo6 looking and all the girls are
GRAVY over him. His name is Bill. L
love him and 1 can't live without
him, SO please give me an ADVICE TO
follow. My father and Bill are very
good friends, but mother objects to
me going out with him. VIII l win
him in the near future?
UKULELE LADY
ANSWER-I am afraid you, like
"all the girls" so "crazy about him,
are making a fool of yourself over
this utterly undeserving mana
handsome Lothario, who goes about
breaking hearts and leaving wives
ruthlesslv. This married man, who
has been unwilling to shoulder the
RESPONSIBILITIES of husband, is not
worthy of all the sentiment you are
wasting upon him and you Will do
waI1 to follow your mothers advice,
regard him as the worthless crea-
ture he is and not contribute any
more fuel to fire his concelt, but turn
YOUR attention elsewhere.

DEAR MONA DEWES-I am a girl
fifteen and my mother doesn't want
me to go out in company, and that
would be my greatest pleasure
Please advise me should 1 stay In
while longer? She doesn't want me
to learn to dance, and it is great
Measure to me. Should I dance or
listen to mother? Please advise me
as quick as possible.
BLUE EYES
ANSWER-I think your mother
would be depriving you OF your
birthright-a happy wholesome girl
hood-if she continued to object to
vour good times. Friendships and
dancing and parties can do you no
harm, if they are not run into the
ground. Surely your mother remem-
bers her own girlhood with all its
natural desires and pleasures. How
ever, she probably merely feels that
YOU are a bit too young as yet, tnat
too much gadding will conflict with
your school, and she intends to al
low you these amusements later. At
any rate, 1 should listen to mother"
and abide by her wish in the matter
until you are old enough to discrim-
mate, Blue Eyes. In due time, II she
is a sensible mother, she Will not
object to seeing her daughter par
take of the pleasures that should fall
