Mexico Park Has 800
Reasons for Dry Law

MEXICO CITY, Nov. Elm the
"Jardin del Carmen, a small park
in the poor part Of Mexico City.
there are 800 arguments for prohi
bition.
1t happened this way. President
Emilio Portes Gil is xaGine-a cam
paign against alcohol in Mexico,
and decided to begin his campaign
among the smaller school children.
AS the Mexican children have an
innate love and aptitude at art. he
let every school child depict the
evils Of liquor as he see them. Now
800 Of the best paintings produced
by the children are on exhibit.
BY orders of Juan +. Olaquibel.
head Of the art department Of the
Ministry Of Public Education, each
child was given a free hand at ex-
pressing for himself the evils OF
drink. The results, most of them
by children Is or "A years old. are
original, expressive. and follow the
strong lines of the revolutionary
movement in Mexican art.
Some of the pictures are funny
because Of the extremes Of the
children'S imagination, and others
are sad because they arc only too
true to life. Evident in virtually
all OF the paintings Is the Mex
leans taste for rich colors, and
there is a freedom from convent
ional color combinations.
The home without vices Is
portrayed by a happy father and
mother in a neat home. On the
clean parlor floor a turkey IS
strutting. Babies are playing in
the room. The fixtures consist of
a sewing machine and a small
photograph.
Later. according to announced
plans, the exhibit will be taken 70
other parts of Mexico City, and
after that probably to points Of
the interior.
When President Portes Gil Jew
ed the art exhibit recently and
noticed the large crowd OF people
there, he conceived the idea of
calling out one OF his military
nanoS 70 play on an empty band
stand at the site. Since then a
band has been playing there daily.
morning and afternoon.
Besides the children, whose works
OF original art have depicted many
horrors Of drink hitherto unsts-
pected by adults. some OF Mexico's
most renowned artists have swung
IN line with contributions. DIEGO
Rivera and Roberto Montanerro.
international famous Mexican art
lists, are among those who have
painted posters in line with the
anti-liquor campaign, with which
the walls OF Mexico's rural schools
are lined.
