MEXICO CITY. Nov. q NIexico's
most sensational trial was at end
today, after seyen-days. A jury
sitting in the San Angel district
decide that Jose de Leon Toral was
guilty Of the murder Of President.
elect Alvaro Obregon and that
Mother Superior Maria Conception
Acevedo v de La LLata was guilty
OF being the intellectual author
OF the crime.
Immediately after the jury
brought III its verdict, ToraI was
sentenced to death By d firing
squad. The mother superior received
a sentence OF 20 years irnprison-
nent. The Mexican law does not
permit capital punishment for wo-
men.
Few In Court Room
Only about 50 persons were in
the court room when the sentences
were read, but outside the building
thousands were gathered eagerly
waiting for the outcome of the trial.
About 400 armed soldiers walked

disorder.
Toral took the judges sentence
with remarkable composure. he Inn
mediately asked the Judge for per-
mission to address the court. He
also asked for permission to broad
cast message to the world through
the radio microphone in the court
room and appeared to be bastly
disappointed when this. request was
refused.
The Mother Superior received her
sentence with a pickering change
of expression. Sha had apparently
steeled herself for the worst Both
were taken back to their cells under
heavy guard. The presence Of the
troops prevented any deTVonstra-
tions by the thousands outside the
courtroom.
Appeals Expected
Toral's attorney is expected to
make an attempt to take an appeal
to a higher court. A similar action
is expected in behalf of the Mother
Superior. Should the apepal fail,
the only recourse the defendants
would have. would be intervention
on their behalf by President Gales.
Such action by Gales is regarded
as unlikely.
The closing hours Of the trial
were featured by a savage attack
by Attorney General Ezequiel Pa
dilla on certain higher up" relig-
ious elements which he claimed in
fluenced the minds Of Toral and
the Mother Superior.

EVELYN BRENT AT
 COLISEUM TONIGHT

Evelyn Brent-a missing jewel "a battle in the dark--a race be- tween the girl, the jewel thief and the hero-the heights of SO ciety garden party-the depths of New York gambling den-these are few of the flashing lights that shoot through "The Impos- tor" F. B. O's. latest release, which will begin a two day run at the Coliseum tonight. Miss Brent's remarkable versatility is displayed to the utmost in this tense drama, which was adapted by Ewart Adamson from Clifford Towards story, and Director Chet Witney has maintained all the original thrill and suspense in concentrated form on the screen.
 The innumerable followers of Miss Brent will flock to see the vivacious star in her newest ve- hicle, and it is safe to say that none of them will be disappointed. Swift, searching cross-sections of the high and low spots of life. adroitly balanced by delft touches of comedy action, mark this as one of the plays of the year.

!zAAK WALTON LEAGUE ASKED
 TO AID NORTH
Rcdington Urges League to Take Active Interest
 In Wild Life Work

Speaking before the Izaak Wal ton League. of America at its an nual meeting at Omaha. Neb., on April 20, on the subject "Wild Life and Our Waterfowl Situa tion," Paul c. Redington, Chief oi the U. s. Biological Survey. urged the League to take all interest in Alaskan problems of wild life.
 He described briefly the Alaska Game Commission and it's work in the Territory, and urged the League to give its support to the local organization.
 In this connection he said: q should like to enlist the interest of the Izaak Walton League in problems confronting the Alaska Game Commission in it's compara- lively new work in the Territory of Alaska. The Alaska Game Law, which is administered under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture through commission consisting of five .men, four of whom are Alaskans and appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture, and the fifth a member of the Biological Survey who acts as executive officer of the comm1,- sion, has now been operating for three years.
 "The Alaskan people have taken kindly to the idea of more ade- quate protection for the notable array of big game animals and 1 fur bearers in the Territory be- cause they appreciate that under proper handling of these resources good results will be returned to the Territory, both from the eco homie and the esthetic points of view; and because they realize that some of the species of big game, notably the caribou, must constitute for years the principal source of food supply in many portions of the Territory.
 q have said before other or ganizations, and I repeat it now that seldom has such an oppor tunity been given to those inter ested in the perpetuation of oui big game animals to unite theil efforts in the establishment of ; well-balanced and effective game administration program as can bs done in the Territory of Alaska where such species as the Alaskan brown bear, the moose, the noun tain sheep, the goat and caribot are present in still comparativell large numbers and if properl. protected will furnish food ant enjoyment forever not alone fol the people of Alaska but to thos, from the United States and othel countries who are constantly go ing to the Territory in larger numbers every year. 1 bespeal for the Alaska Game Commission the active aid of the lzaak Walton League in the work the Commis sion is doing in Alaska"

that Hoover is out in front. Although
his wagon has apparently slowed up
somewhat, it may finish in q burst
Of speed. Hoover has lined up some
excellent politicians who are actively
engaged in promoting his campaign.
There is more or less Hoover
strength nearly everywhere, where
as Lowden hasn't penetrated either
the east or the Pacific coast, and
the extent of the Dawes strength is
unrevealed.
Turning to the Democrats, Smith
will have either all or nearly all the
delegates from New York, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania and Illinois.
His enemies hope that Indiana will
oppose him to the last and they even
contend that Governor Donahey may
be able to keep the Ohio delegation
from him. But 1t is more generally
supposed that Ohio at least, having
voted at first for Atlee Pomerene,
will turn to Smith.
Anti Smith hopes, in fact, look
rather desperate. The candidacy of
Reed of Missouri marks the appear
ance of the first strong candidate
against him, but right now the only
seeming significant fact about that
seems to be the belief of many Mis-
sourians that Reed strength will la
ter be Smith strength.

Wealth in Waste

General Lord, director of the budget, is jl-
bilant when some department or bureau in
Washington saves q few thousands of dollars
by such scrutinizing economy as leaving the
decorative blue stripe out Of the canvas used
for mail bags, or by using secondhand paper
clips. The catchpenny economists of the
budget bureau have saved the taxpayers some
thousands Of dollars, sometimes resorting to
ingenious devices, but they can still learn
something in this direction from big business.
When the NAH jong fad took the country
by storm the packing companies made few
extra millions profit by sending the shin bones
of butchered cattle to China to be converted
into nah jong titles" The great fortunes in
the packing industry were built upon by-prod-
ucts, not from chops and steaks.
It has been said of one of the packing con-
Germs that it used everything from the pig but
the squeal The slogan applies equally we'll
to the COW. A Chicago concern that kills
about 100000 cattle each year has each gall
bladder searched for gall stones. They are
used as charms in the Orient and are ground
for medicinal preparation in this country.
In his economy campaign President Coolidge
should have handed out a few dollar-a-year
jobs to the by-product inventors for the meat
packers. The most cautious would risk a
large wager they would find ways and means
of cutting down government expenses. They,
at least, would not begin their work by seek
ing new jobs to be filled. Much public money
would be saved if politicians and officeholders
were not concerned with saving jobs for other
politicians.

FATIGUE CAUSES COLDS

|. It is not difficult to understand
some OF the reasons why more PEG.
pie are subject to colds during this
month than at any other time in the
year. It Is ridiculous to hear the
reasons given by most people who
blame their colds on Catching" them
from someone else. exposure to cold,
or sitting in a draft.
Upon careful observation it has
been found that those who work
out-of-doors at this time of year do
not suffer as much from colds as
those who work indoors. and who
coddle themselves with heavy cloth
ing every time they step outdoors.
Flying men, Alpine climbers,
street corner men, newsboys. post
men ana farmers are comparatively
free from colds except during their
vacation times when the, stay in
During the war the soldiers at the
front who were exposed in the
trenches and the sailors who worked
in all kinds of weather had high
record against contracting colds as
compared with those who STAYED at
nome and worked in offices.
AS l have studied the causes of
colds with thousands Of patients, it
seems to me there are only two main
causes: fatigue and overeating.
February colds can be blamed
mostly on the use Of the high calory
foods which most people indulge in
during the winter months. Usually

velops.
Those who become fatigued from
mental overwork, from worry, or
from tho nerve-racking exhaustion
from shopping, easily develop colds
because they are too enervated to
properly carry on the normal elimi-
nation OF toxins through the skin,
lungs, kidneys, and bowels. The
enervated person is always toxic,
with usually a sluggish liver, and
with constipation and its attendant
perils. One who overworks or
wastes energy cannot have enough
energy left to keep metabolism prop
erly balanced; he can consider HIM

Gus disorder.

Recedin9 Birth Rate

Records over long period Of time show that
the birth rate of the United States has been
falling rapidly while the marriage rate has
been slowly rising Since 1887 the marriage
rate has increased from 81 per thousand Of
population to 1912 at the present. The birth
rate dropped from 40 per thousand Of popula-
ton in 1880 to q in 1927.
The marriage rate here is higher than any
European country for number of reasons, but
chiefly because of the more favorable eco
nomic conditions. But, high as these living
standards are, economic conditions here are
unfavorable for large families among certain
classes of Americans.
The birth rate over the country rs whole
would be still lower if it were not for the large
foreign population and the large numbers of
illiterate Americans among whom the birth
rate runs higher than the average for all
classes. Were it not for these elements, the
national birth rate unquestionably would be
the lowest in the world. As it is, all signs
point to the population becoming stationary
within a few years.
This news comes, as a surprise to the public
which, conscious of the great territorial ex-
tent and the unparalleled prosperity of the
country, has assumed that the population has
continued to keep pace with other phases OF
national development
One compensating factor is death rate
that has been receding faster than the birth
rate. There is no immediate danger of race
suicide, and this country is in position dit
ferent from such nations as France, where the
death rate is still disproportionately high.
