Texas Border Town Is No Longer Port of Entry
 of American Goods

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 18. - The Mexican Foreign Office remains si- lent in regard to closing of the Mexican Consulate at Laredo, Tex as, and there is no indication that the action might be rescinded.
 A brief statement issued said the staff of the Consulate will be trans ferred elsewhere.
 The Mexico City press gave par ticular prominence to stories re- garding the closing of the Con- sulate and possible reaction by the United States.
 The correspondent of Fl Univer- sal, at San Antonio, Texas, said the order created a sensation there and exporters are preparing tc ship goods by way of Brownsville
 The public here received the order with amused interest and the general opinion is that the Mexican Government has gained the upper hand, at least for sne time being.
 The Consulate at Laredo was closed yesterday because of the at titude taken there by John Valls District Attorney, toward General Gales, former Mexican President naming Gales in murder warrants charging complicity in the death ot two Mexican officers on the Texas side of the Rio Grande River, ir 1922.
 Laredo has been the principal border point of entry to Mexico of American products and tourists

 He suggested that the reason for a lower type of applicant is that the able-bodied men are able now to make a decent living at home,

The expo dition will start from Seattle and pass over British Columbia via Hazelton, Atlin, Whitehorse and Dawson to Fairbanks. Using that city as base, a reconnaissance will be made of the interior Alaska air fields with view of putting on file in the War Department descrip tion of the landing fields and other conditions affecting aircraft opera tions in Alaska.
 It has not yet been definitely de- termined to send the expedition and cannot be until it is thoroughly studied, Maj. Elliott said. It is not yet known whether equipment and personnel for such a flight will be available
 Making Some Progress
 Progress is being made toward initiating an inquiry into the feasi- bility of constructing the inter- national highway. A bill is now before both the Senate and House authorizing that inquiry and creat- ing an American commission to act jointly with a similar board representing Canada.
 These bills have been brought to the attention of Premier King of Canada. The American State De- pertinent is now preparing to take up the question officially with the Dominion of Canada along the lines followed by the two bills.
 Holds Conference
 On the way north last week, Maj. Elliott held second conference with Premier Tolmie of British Columbia and members of his Cabi- net. From it he gathered that the attitude of British Columbia and Yukon Territory is very friendly to the project. Apparently steps are in progress to bring the matter to the attention of the Dominion Gov ernment from these sources.
 One of the very important advan- tages of the project, it was pointed out, is that it will furnish a line of bases for aviation as the route is the best one to Alaska, being free from fogs and other conditions that handicap flying along the coast.

California Laboratory Re ports Action as Ire
 mendous Quake

SEATTLE. Dec. 18.-Failure of Alaska Radio Stations to report the earthquake which was first re- ported as having been registered on the seismograph of the American Museum of Natural History New York City, yesterday morning is believed here to indicate a seismic disturbance.
 The earthquake was recorded in many parts of the United Stat $ and probably occurred on the floor of the North Pacific Ocean or the uninhabited part of the Aleutians.
 The University of Washington soismograph recorded temblors be- ginning at BOT o'clock yesterday morning and 12 minutes later the vigration was so great that one re- ccrding needle was shaken off the drum.
 The tremors continued about three hours.
 The center of the disturbance is estimated at 1900 miles northerly. placing them in the Gulf of Alas ka, or North Pacific Ocean, or in the Aleutian volcanic region where the mail steamer Starr recently re- ported several volcanoes in action.

SENATE WHIP PICKED
Sheppard Will Be Leader of

BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Sen-
ator Morris Sheppard, author of the
eighteenth amendment ond one of
the outstanding drys in congress, is
slated to become Democratic whip
of the senate when the party
caucus is held next week.
Sheppard says that he will &C
cept the post if it is offered to him,
but that he has not been campaign
ing for it.
The Sheppard selection is be-
lieved to be prompted by a desire
of the dry Democrats to show the
country that support of Governor Al
Smith in the recent election did not
mean that the party had turned
wet.
While it is considered warning
to the Smith element, it also is
looked upon as a reward to Shep-
pard for having stayed regular and
supported Smith despite Sheppard's
long dry record.

By NEA SerDioe
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. ga
IN pink checked, boyish young
ster of 81 recently took JOB at a
filling station here, and in a
short time had the customers and
his fellow employees talking about
him because he never would accept
a tip.
He was a willing worker. He
was always courteous and cheer
full and he didn't mind getting oil
and grease on his clothing and in
his hair, but no customer could
force him to accept any extra
money.
So they stated looking into tht
matter-and they found that the
obliging young man in overalls was

Robert w. Stewart of Standard

art is worth, at a guess, about
$100,000,000, and perhaps that ex-
plains why the younger man
won't take tips.

Oh, what "razz" they're giving
Henry Ford in Indianapolis!
In golf clubs, indoor schools, at
luncheons and clubs the "blurb" of
the eminent motorcar manufacturer
on the futility of golf as an exer-
else is receiving the raucous horse
laugh.
The call to arms against the on
slaught on the links game has
brought physicians who cry fore
to the fore in defense Of the Scot
fish pastime.
"Mr. Ford" said DR.. Herman G..
Morgan, secretary of the city board
of health, may know a lot about
motorcars, but he's not qualified to
SPEAK en- the mechanism of the hui
man body"
It's Health Insurance
DR.. Morgan added to his handing
of silver-plated) "dumb-bell" to
Ford with: Golf is the best form
of health insurance I know of. II
his statement were true, there'd be
nothing left for a man past 40 years
to play except doninoes and fiddle
de-winkS."
Joining with DR.. Morgan in hand
ing FordIs latest diatribe the hand
carved kidney beans is DR.. William
F. King, secretary of the state board
of health, with the assertion that
golf demands less physical exertion
than any other sport.
From the golf professionals view
point, Ford is decidedly "vericht,
for Harry Schopp, professional at
South Grove course says: "He's got
a. foggy old idea. Why, I've got
aged men playing out here with
heart trouble under the orders OF
doctors and it's not harming them
it's building them up"
Pro Answers Henry
Although Ray Clark, profess
sional, acknowledges that golf is a
heart stimuTant, due to its exciting
influences, he ventures the opinion
that man can get "just as excited
playing a game of checkers or
chess"
ITO certain number of people
golf might be harmful, but there
are exceptions to all rules and
Ford is trying to make the excep-
tons the rule.
"Golf is just walking surely
walking isn't strenuous on the
heart except in extreme cases." de-
clares Dick Roop, professional.

Turning to his well worn Bible,
which lay conveniently near his
massive desk, Sargent read the
following verse to illustrate his
philosophy Of life:
"Take no thought for the
morrow, for the morrow will
take thought for itself"
Amplifying his views, Sargent
said he always believed it was
best to do the job in hand with
out stopping to criticise conditions.
"Take things as you find them
and do your job to the best OF
your ability-that's always been
my philosophy" Sargent said.

CARGENT said he could think
~ of no single outstanding phase
of his work in the justice depart
ment, but he suggested those out
side the department could better
Judge what had been accom-
plished.
I'm the only man in this de-
partment that doesn't have to
work." he said with a twinkle in
his blue eyes. AS he spoke, Sar-
gent pulled thoughtfully away on
is ever-present pipe.
Asked about his impression Of
washington and official life, Sar-
gent said he thought Washington
beautiful city and the federal
government a marvellous gigantic
machine.
But I don't like to live in
cities" he added.
To Attorney General Sargent's
way of thinking, public Office is
an opportunity for public service
and no cabinet member should be
dissatisfied with the $4,000 sal
airy he receives, though the work
ranks with that performed by
executives Of the nations larger
corporations.

So an interviewer went forth to
question him and find out about
it all After all, a filing station
job means hard work, long hours
and plenty of dirt and grease; why
should the potential heir to $780,
100000 take it on voluntarily?

THAT question was answered
II easily. Donald Stewart aims
to learn the oil business-a it ap-
plies to marketing the finished
product. To do this he has to
start at the bottom, and that, in
the oil business, means the very
