with you. Each of you then tries to
start something with the right hand.

He may grip your arm just above
the elbow, pull that elbow sharply
toward him, get a firmer grip around
your neck with his lead and then
throw his body across yours. He
will try to throw you across his hip
and to the mat. He will not loosen
his grip around your neck or on
your arm. He'll fall with you.
1t takes quick work to break that
one. But it is simple. Place the
heel Of your hand against his side as
he attempts to throw you. AS you
slip free from that attempt get be-
hind him in the same continued
movement and throw him to the mat.
You must be on the defense now
and then, but don't stay there any
longer than you have to. You can't
win the match by simply breaking
your opponents holds. You must
throw him to score.
Next-The triple punch.

GALES PUTS MONEY
DICTATOR In CHARGE
Decree Issued by Mexican Presi-
dent Gives Treasury Head
Full Powers.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, April -Mexico's
finances We're in the hands of flnan-
cial dictator today, President Gales
having issued a decree vesting full
powers in the secretary of the treas.
ury, Monies De Oca.
The secretary was authorized to
make radical changes in his depart
ment to prevent deficit, ana to take
drastic steps to assure the collection of
all taxes.
Payments on the foreign debt under
the terms of the parliament agree
ment, the decree stipulates, are to be
conscientiously fulfilled. The secre-
tary, however, will be permitted to
conclude arrangements with domestic
creditors for postponement of pay
ments on domestic debts.
He has been advised to negotiate
with Mexican banks which are credi-
tors for the government for extension
of payments due last year, this year
and next year.
President Gales ordered a reduc-
tion of at least so, 10000 pesos (about
$4,000 ,000) in the years budget, with
all possible retrenchment. The secre-
tary, who has been in office three
months, said the decree might be con-
sidered as making the Inauguration of
regime of utmost economy.
