 From five .. m. to mid day he Il cashier-in-chief for the Mexico City Street Railway. Afternoons he Is director of playground for the fed eral district. Add between times he is looking after his dx children in his home in Mxcoac. . suburb ot the. capital.
 Tornell might have been gen. efal in the Mexican army by now had it not been for the loss of his leg.
 -.--4a-lsl1, he, was -a cadet in the Military College. The rifle of fel- low cadet. accidentally discharged, sent bullet at close range into hia right limb.
 Rarely Eacsped Death
 For days Tornell was on the verge of. dying and for weeks afterwards the wound caused him agony. Final ly, the amputation. and rorneli. one v>- cana ki~ kAAv sh . # a rad hv the catastrophe was an invalid.
 "First." he said. II made up my mind that I must live. Then 1 de- termined that would not be an invalid. I decided that my calamity was a challenge to my spirit and. fighting it out within myself. my courage returned"
 So important to Tornell was the conquest over his infirmity that he now believes many invalids could restore themselves to normal if they fostered the growth of their wills and made up their minds to con- quer hardship.
 Able to walk on crutches. Tornell went to the Mexico City Y. NJ. C. A. immediately after he had emerged from the hospital and began the slow, almost heart-breakinx process of building himself anew. He start ed with calisthenics and with [ strength born of desperation gradu- ally developed . pair of arms and shoulders that were Herculean.
 Then followed trials at the paral- Tel bars and other gymnasium appa- ratus. As his balance on one foot became more perfect. he tried other sports, and often to his own sur prise. learned quickly.
 Champion Pistol Shot
 Within nine years his skill had developed 50 that he gave his first public exhibition in 1921 at Gen. tennial celebration. Diplomats and delegations of Americans who came to Mexico especially for the celebra- ton were among the thousands to see. the remarkable one-legged man perform amazing feats of strength and agility.
 The year before this exhibition Tornell had won the pistol she ootins championship of Mexico in a com. petition at the Military College.
 At the moment. Tornell's great in terest ;s in his work as playground director. The plan of the federa district authorities calls for the con. struction of 2S. playgrounds. At pres ent there are only four.
 The task of obtaining equipment for these parks and training assist ants to aid Tornell apparently will be an undertaking of several years. Tt can be done if we only have the spirit" Tornell says, adding,-"My ideal is to develop real sportsman ship among the youth of Mexico"

Coves Of the United States far flung

steadily reduced smuggling Of aliens
by the water route. although figures
indicate an increase in aliens en-
tering this country by land. More
than 1900 struggled aliens were
captured last year by the border

BY far the largest percentage of
sliens struggled INTO this country
come by way Of the land borders on
the north and south, entering from
Canada and Mexico. with q small
fraction of the total being landed by
snugGlers on the Florida coast, Off
Gals stated.
Most aliens smuggled INTO this
country by vessel have come from
southern Europe, the Cape Verde
Islands. Cuba and the Bahamas It
was customary for the aliens to pay
about 5000 a head to the smuggler.
one Of the most serious problems
confronting the immigration service
now is the widespread use of faxed
documents by which aliens are en-
sbled to present to American con-
suls abroad false passports and birth
certificates.

01 \ DAY

The National Automobile Cham Der of Commerce is much alarmed over a sustantial increase in auto mobile fatalities. The record so far this year has been the highest in its history. During August an average of 91 persons a day were killed in the United States by automobiles; this is at q rate of 33,215 year, The x. A. C. of C. thinks the figures are a re- proach upon the nation and that they represent an appalling disregard of human life.
 The average of fatalities during the first eight months of the year was nine per cent higher than the year before. In New York City alone there were S21 automobile fatalities,
 All that is done about it is to cf- feet more traffic regulation in the cities, Some way must be found to regulate the minds of foolish drivers The courts have the ley to the situ- alton. Unfortunately a reckless auto ist rarely gets his just deserts before the bar of justice.

THE RIVAL RAILROADS

Neither the New York Central nor | the Pennsylvania hide the fact that they are bitter competitors for the de luxe passenger carrying trade be- tween New York and Chicago. What | one does the other does and about at the same time. Neither allows the i other to step ahead appreciably, To ] be true, they agree upon the speed Of their chief limited trains having decided that run of 20 hours Is | fast enough. The fastest run once was made in IS hours, but the two lines agreed that this was too fast for comfort; too many wrecks, too much 1 worry about safety.
 Borrowing the name Of a famous train in Europe. the Pennsylvania l started new 2O-hour train called | Tho Golden Arrow. The New York 1 Central immediately and at the same moment also announced new 2O- hour train and called it the Commo- l dore Vanderbilt.
 We think the Pennsylvania has the best new name of the two on this ! occasion. This will even the score 1 regarding quality and pulling power 1 of fancy names in relation to the other leading rival trains-thc Twentieth Century Limited and the | Broadway Limited. There can be no | doubt that the Twentieth Century has the more forceful appeal, By the way, it must be q hard job to find the right kind of name for the fancy trains.
 The maiden trips of the new Con- modore Vanderbilt and The Golden Arrow somewhat indicate that run ming these trains isn't highly profit able every day. The G. V. had 49 paying passengers aboard, while the C. A. had 1G. Perhaps business will pick up later; but regardless Of l whether it does or doesn't, each line , will compete With the other so long as the other thinks it worth while to stay in the ring.
 Meanwhile the Norfolk X Western, an out-and out coal carrier is earn ing more hy far for it's owners than the great passenger roads And there are others like it,

head of the cltys outgo remained the same, other forms of realty would suffer increased taxation to make up the difference. The owners of these other types of realty are not organ ized into associations, but undoubt- edly they are watching developments keenly.
 It is a most difficult situation and We do not pretend to have hit upon q plan to circumvent it. We doubt whether responsible officials in the city government are any better off in attempts 10 proffer a satisfactory solution. An investigation by a com mittce. therefore, could at least do no harm and might result in more definite knowledge. The Common Council, having authorized the ap- pontment of such a committed it re- mains another question as to who should be on it. Manifcstly no good would accrue and it's findings would not result in that respect necessary, if the committee were one-sided in character To be a committee worthy of confidence it would need to con- sist of practical men who are fully conversant with business and civic affairs. Any other type Of committee would not result in more than a re- port that probably would receive negligible attention.
 No committee and no agitation can change the situation this year. The charge in assessments being discussed could not bear fruit until the next grand list is made up. Mean while where unequitable assessments are in evidence the taxes based upon them are due, where not yet paid. and the pressure of circumstances is hard. Much as it would be desirable, relief this year seems impossible. The only hope for relief being prcdi- cated upon lowered assessments next year it would seem that an efficient committee of citizens, if appointed this fall, would have plenty of time in which to investigate the condi- tions under discussion.

THE SI.ON-MONING HURRICANE

The hurricane which has been slowly maneuvering to the southeast
 of these United States was easily
 enough discovered when it develop ed. Meteorological savants have the art of hurricane discovery down to Q very fine science. Where one of these i things is headed for after it begins operations, and how fast it will travel, are entirely different matters The only thing that proves anything after q hurricane gets under way is practical experience at such points where the high winds happen to reach.
 Thus after toying with Nassau and killing sundry persons unable to es- cape the fury of the blasts, the storm slowly wended it's way across a slice of Florida, where. enlightened preparation breathed a remarkable defiance and where damage and loss Of life was paratively slight; then it reached the Gulf coast, per haps rather unexpectedly. Meanwhile rivers in southern Georgia did flood damage and excitement in the south east naturally has been intense.
 Florida has an ideal climate in the fall and winter and early spring; so has southern Georgia. The Gulf coast, less generally known to seek CTS after sunshine and balmy breezes, also is species of paradise But the bad feature about this fine climate are those storms. Once in great while people living elsewhere have their "cyclones" and their 'blizzards;' but these don't com pare in intensity and powers O. devastation with one of the monster. that protrude their ornery heads ont of the hurricane factory in the Car ibbeans. Woe 10 shipping, woe to the houses built by human hands, and woe to the climate. There will never be perfect peace of mind down that way until nature changes her ways.
