Of San Luis Potosi, one of the lead
ing Mexican states, in the early
days Of the Gales administration.
Soto v Cana has led the Agrarian
group in the Mexican Congress.
During the great revolution Soto
Y Cana was leader of the Agrar-
ian forces of Morelos and chief ad-
wiser Of the famous Zapata brothers,
who dominated the Agrarians of
that state. These Agrarians were
the real "irreconcilables" of the
revolution and refused to give fealty
to any of the chiefs whom the revo-
luton brought into power. "The
land for the people" was their battle
cry. Even after the death Of the
Zapatas the peasants of Morelos
refused to yield until a division Of
the lands was begun. Up to that
time 80 great land-owning families
had owned nearly every acre of the
soil.
An Ardent Reformer
Soto y Cana was a lawyer, deeply
interested in public affairs. He is
said to have lived during the revo-
luton period continuously in the
saddle, with q Bible in one pocket
of his blouse and a book on eco
Monies in the other. Although Of a
distinct religious bent he has never
theless been as active an opponent
of clerical Nominations as of the
great land owners.
Aurelia Manrique is the younger
of the two. His passion for social
justice was aroused during the Ma
dero movement.
The story Of his governorship Of
San Luis Potosi is remarkable. AL.
most an ascetic in his personal hab-
its, he determined to create the ideal
state of which he had dreamed for
years. It didn't work.
Pulque is the curse Of peasants in
the Mexican highlands. Manrique
determined to stamp out the habits
of centuries overnight. He institut-
ed prohibition in San Luis Potosi.
At the same time he began a CAM
paign against political corruption
which is as bad in Mexico as in our
country, if not worse-and attempt

IN NEW YORK

New York, Aug. e.-New York is
full of boys who are fired with am
bition. They have, one and all, their
heroes whom they watch and copy
in every way possible. Some Of
them look up to the Gods of Park
avenue and some to the Gods of
Wall street; some think Of AL Smith
and resolve to enter politics when
they grow up and some think Of
Gene Tunney and plan on career
Of books and gloves. And, now and
then, you'll find a youngster who
idolizes the bluecoated corner cop
and spends his waking hours dream
ing about joining the police force.
Such person, in this city Of
dreams and dreamers, was John
Cordes. As boy (this was num-
Der Of years ago) John Cordes lived
in Greenwich Village near the
Charles street police station. He
made friends with the officers there
and confided his desire to grow up
and be q policeman. Also, he said,
he was getting good start by read
ing dime novel detective stories. !.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
(NEA Service Writerl

Washington, Aug. 8.-Two pic.
turesque personalities in Mexico
leaped into the news soon after the
assassination of President-elect
Obregon.
They are Soto Y Cana and Aurelia
Manrique, leaders Of the Agrarian
party.
These two have made continuous
attacks on the Laborltes, whom they
charged with the real responsibility
for Obregon's death through Gre
alton Of an atmosphere of hostility
to him which stirred up fanatic
to murder.
Their sudden emergence may
seem rather startling to most Of us,
but neither is a new figure in Mex
ico's political and social life.
Strangely enough, we know much
less about the internal affairs Of
that country which borders on our
own for nearly 1000 miles than we
do about the affairs of nations
across the Atlantic.
One Of the two strongest men in
Mexico's contemporary history has
passed from the picture, leaving q
somewhat confused struggle for
power behind. The disappearance
from power-either by death, as in
the case of Abregon, or by passing
from office, as in the case of Presi-
dent Calles-of one who has favors
to bestow brings about new political
alignments at once.
Seek Personal Gain
If the disappearance comes by
violence, under circumstances such
as the Obregon murder, the poll
tician naturally seeks personal ad-
vantage or gain for his cause by
trying to guide the current OF
aroused public opinion in channels
favorable to his interests. That
sort of thing took place in our own
country after the deaths of Presi-
dents Lincoln, Garfield and McKin.
ley at the hands of fanatics.
The two Agrarian leaders, Man.
rique and Soto Y Cana, happen ia
be men Of impeccable personal char.
acter. but they are intensely devot-
ed to their cause.

PAWNEE BILL, THE WEST, AND MR. SHAKES.
PEARE

Pawnee Bill, whose private name is Maj Gordon w.
Lille, admits that he doesn't get any kick out Of
Shakespeare.
The picturesque Oklahoma frontiersman visited New
York the other day, and reporters who interviewed him
happened, somehow, to mention Shakespeare. Pawnee
Bill recalled that he bought set Of Shakespeare some
time ago and took it home give it trial He dipped
first into Romeo and Juliet but when he had read half
Of it he chucked the book the ROOM Since then
the set has been unopened.
But Pawnee Bill added that he likes to read never
theless.
SNOW, when it to books about early western
history, I'm there" he said. Il think people should
study that sort of thing whole lot more. Americans
should be interested in the early history of their
country"
- our way of thinking, Pawnee Bill has good sense
The loves of the Capuets and Montagues apt to
seem rather far away and unreal to modern Ameri-
can but the story Of the winning of the springs
from the native SOIL 1t is unquestionably Of the
greatest romances told. Reading about it and
soaking it in do for real sturdy Americansm than
oil the tricks the hundred-percenters devised.
Pawnee Bill himself had a hand in the great ro-
He had contemporaries, too Buffalo Bill for
instance and Kit Carson and others whose have
already become legendary. They rode into the west
when it was an unknown land, with great herds of
buffalo roaming it's aromatic plains and bands of red
savages riding along its dusty water courses They
found it vast wilderness, and in the space of
mans lifetime helped make it land Of peaceful farms,
busy cities and teeming oil fields.
There is not really, any story quite like it. Nothing
has happened quite spectacular, amazing, as
the transformation Of the North American continent
during the past century. Pawnee Bill was right Peo-
pie should study that sort Of thing lot more There is
real meat in it.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question-W. L. writes: "Have
been troubled for long time with
an itching under the arms. Please
tell me cure"
Answer-Do everything you can
to produce more skin elimination.
Take sweat bath two or three
times weekly, or induce q daily
sweat by vigorous exercises. Take
one or two shower baths daily. Local
applications to the parts are dan
gerous and are not necessary.
Question-D. L. j. writes: Il have
followed your diet, exercises, ETC.,
and have been helped wonderfully,
and have reduced all parts Of my
body but my stomach. Some people
tell me large stomach is hereditary.
Is this correct? Or is there some-
thing | can do to reduce my
stomach ?"
Answer-The only way you can re.
duce the size of your abdomen is
through taking vigorous physical
culture exercises, principally those
taken while lying on the back. Diet.
ing alone will not reduce q protrud-
ing abdomen, although the size will
diminish somewhat if only small
amounts of food are used. Measure
your circumference with q tape
measure, then start in with the ex-
ercises, and every week you will be
able to note a reduction in the size
of this part of your body.
Question What treatment do
you advise for multiple sclerosis !
What is the cause? Violet rays have
brought back the feeling to patients
limbs and he has use Of them, but q
numbness comes over him at times"
Answer-The fundamental cause
of multiple sclerosis is the poison Of
toxic materials in the spinal cord re.
sulting from a faulty diet. The pa
tient you write Of will get quickest
results by taking a fruit fast for 4
week or ten days, followed by q
well-balanced diet. Treatment such
as massage, osteopathy, chiropractic,
and electrotherapy will be helpful in
restoring the circulation to the af-
fected parts.

THE DREAM OF PEACE

We like to be considered very practical people We
can think of names to call those we dislike
than visionary" Impractical" We pride ourselves
On our hard-headedness.
So it is that, while peace-lovng nation, we
do not give ourselves very heartedy to organized
peace movements. The opening Of the convention of
the American Peace Society," at Cleveland o. the other
day called forth many expressions Of good will; but in
Dur hardheaded practical way of doubted that
f would do very much real good.
Perhaps it won't. Wars usually are caused by deeplv-
rooted economic and social forces. which cannot well
Be remedied by the passing Of resolutions and the
printing Of high toned speeches. Yet the visionary
often is wiser than his generation and the glttering
dream Of today sometimes is destined to become the
hard reality of tomorrow.
70 be sure the cause looks hopeless But every
that worth supporting looked hopeless in the
beginning; and the organized movement for world
peace not yet Of its swadding clothes It is hardly
century since the most fervd dreamer dared
that war could be abolished. It is hardly longer than
that since the day when making universally

and suggested that the ordinary rank and file
the population, who would have go and be shot
when war came should have voice in the matter at

Thus have our ideas changed in little more than
100 years. Painfully and by inches have progressed
And the progress such is, has in spite of the
hardheaded, practical folks it has been accomplished by
the visionary, impractical men and women who have
been capable Of devoting themselves to q dream.
That is the way great movements usually happen Be-
fore any physical change there must be spiritual
change. Before have world peace We must want
Il, deeply and fervently And the way to make our

discuss it in every possible time and place.

that he was built too slightly to be

that he was built too slightly to be
a cop, anyway.
But John Cordes stuck to it, even
after he entered his teens and went
to work as a prosaic clerk in a Wall
Street brokers' office. He put in
his spare time in gymnasium, built
up his physique-and, after a year
or so, managed to pass the police
examination. He was put through
the regular police training school
and emerged q detective, due to the
excellent record he made.
Today John Cordes is just about
the most distinguished detective on
the force. He has twice received
the departments medal of honor, the
highest award for bravery a police
man can win; usually the man who
wins it loses his life doing it.
The first medal was won four
years ago. Cordes, off duty, passed
a cigar store that was being held
up by three bandits. He sailed in,
killed one Of the bandits and caused
the capture Of the other two. He
himself was shot three times, and
when they took him to the hospital
the physicians doubted that he would
recover. Three days later he was out
Of bed again.
His second award came more re-
Gently. He had trailed pair of kid
napers to Central Park, where he
overlook them. Both men had their
revolvers out, but Cordes mixed it
so thoroughly that each was afraid
to shoot for fear of hitting the
other; and before they could find q
chance q motorcycle patrolman came
along and took Cordes' part. One Of
the men was shot; the other is now
in prisons
Detective John Cordes, it is in
teresting to know, still sticks by his
boyhood hobby; his favorite recrea-
ton is reading detective stories.

The crowds are made up of men,
usually more or less unshaven and
ill-clad; they are not cheerful. The
reason for them? There are ap-

city. A fee is collected in advance
from all men who get jobs through

 Tn that case"-Mr. Neritzen caught Lillian's hand-"let us gather the driftwood while we may. Of course you are coming with us, Mrs. Graham"
 His manner was perfect in its graduation, the utmost deference to Mother Graham, the familiarity of years of comradeship with Lillian, and to me the perfect courtesy of social acquaintanceship which is not of long enough duration to be termed freindship. But I had the disturbing consciousness that his at titude toward me was for my mother-in-law's benefit alone, and resentfully observed the quirking of Lillian's lips which told me that she too was discounting his elaborate formality.
 For awhile I could not fathom my friends purpose in dragging my stately employer along the beach to pick up driftwood when there were already so many younger helpers engaged in the task Then I re- membered Lillian's gamin-like pro- pensity for making things uncom- fortable for someone who had in- cured her displeasure. She was thoroughly annoyed at Philip Verit- zen for what she considered his un- warrantable interference with the youthful idyll of his son and Mary Harrison, and not wishing to tax him with his offense, she had taken this absurd way of punishing him without his guessing that he was being disciplined.
