Nogales, Son.

General Carlos Bouquet, one Of
the leading supporters of jose Vas
concelos in his recent unsuccessful
race for the presidency of Mexico,
was put to death by a firing squad

Local Theater To
Have Very Latest
|Lig ghting Effect

Over a period of years Of expert
ment and study the research light
ing bureau of Fox West Coast Ser
vice Corporation, under direct super
vision of Mr.. R. H. Mccullough, has
arrived at certain definite formulae
for the correct and proper lighting
of theaters. First Of all, primary
consideration is given the comfort
of patrons. The days Of impaired
eyesight owing to improper lighting
is past. BY careful study Of condi-
tions, and necessary corrections. 1t
is no more harmful to attend pic
ture theaterS now, than 1t Is to
watch the scenery on a pleasure
trip. Secondly the beauty of the au-
ditorium must be enhanced by the
soft subdued tones of light, equally
diffused in every portion Of the
theater. Steps are lighted so as to
eliminate any possible m1Step. The
light is graded downward from the
brilliant dazzling white Of the ex-
terror lighting, through the stage Of
intermediates in the lobby and foy-
er, into the amber opalescence Of
the jewel box auditorium.
The fixtures are all Of special de-
sign. The ordinary and the prosaic
have no place in Fox Theaters. Ev-
cry fixture is scaled to size and
drawn to special design for every
location. Least of all consideration
is the cost, as it is the Fox policy
to have perfection in theaters as
we'll as utility. The New Fox Thea
ter opens its doors for the Premier
Talking Program on Christmas Day
afternoon at one P. M.

NOGALES AIRPORT
ILLUMINATED BY
CHICAGOCONCERN

The demonstration staged by the
Pyle National Airport and Anyways
Lighting Company of Chicago We'd
nesday night at the Nogales In
ternational landing field proved be-
yond doubt that it is practical,
and at nominal cost, for the city
to maintain a field for night land
ingS.
The Pyle-National company's
portable power plant lighted the
field so brilliantly that it was pos
sible to read a newspaper nearly a
half mile away. This plant can be
purchased on reasonable terms, it
is understood, and with the addi-
zion of hanger Nogales would be
in possession of one of the finest
landing fields in the west.
Pilot Ed. Kohler, carrying as a
passenger, Harry Narcotic of the
Montezuma hotel, demonstrated the
ease in which plane could land at
night with light furnished by this
portable plant.
This is a matter requiring imme-
diate attention and the problem at
the present time is the matter of
FINANCE. The. sum appropriated by
the supervisors is now exhausted
having been used in enlarging the
field. The chamber of commerce and
the board of supervisors are in the
market for any constructive sugges-
tions from any one which will aic
them in finding ways and means Of
raising the necessary amount FOL
the improvements so badly needed
at the airport.

Due to a new and novel method IN
campaigning for new members
Ridge-Igo post of the American Le-

the largest paid up membership in
it's history.
Committees for the obtaining OF

only members of one specific trade

chants, for instance, seeking only
eligible members from their own
particular calling; the committee OF
immigration men devoting their ef-
forts to men in that one depart

According to newly elected Com
mander AL Cassaneda, only 10 more
new and paid up members are need

the National Headquarters of the

coveted by the posts of the country.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. s(UP)-
Reserves of the United States gov
ernment and Federal Reserve SyS-
tenn are being tapped to the ex-
tent of between 200,0O0.000. and
50,00O,00O this year to fill the
purses of Christmas shoppers.
This large expansion Of currency
in circulation for Christmas needs
is an annual feature of the nations
credit structure. Unless the Fed
eral Reserve System adopted meas
ures to forestall it, the rapid growth
and contraction of outstanding cur
rency would seriosuly disrupt credit
conditions.
Currency in circulation aggrega-
tes about $5,OOO,OOO,OOO during nor
NAL times. It reaches low. point
in July, but begins to expand as
harvesting of the nations crops ex-
erts demand for funds.
Then in early November the first
sign of Christmas is reflected in a
growing demand for additional
funds by department stores and
other merchants with which to re-
plentish their stocks for holiday
trade. Banks, in turn, borrow from
the reserve fund system to meet
these needs of their customers. :
Gold Coins As Gifts
Part of the Yuletide increase in
currency is in gold coins. princi-
pally quarter eagles Of $3.50 each
to be used as ballast in the toe of
the Christmas stockings. Nearly
$3.50 100000 Of new gold coins are
specially issued for this purpose
each year.
Virtually every kind Of currency,

Gates, United States notes. gold and
silver coin is affected by the extra
demand for cash during the Christ
mas season. Gold certificates alone
increase by between $30,o00.000 and
$4O,O00,0OO.
End of the Christmas season In
early January is marked by sud-
den sharp drop in currency out
standing as the millions Of dollars
spent by Christmas shoppers are re-
turned to banks and reserve vaults
by department stores.
Federal Reserve officials consid-
er it part of their duty to see that
this seasonal currency demand has
no untoward effect on the position
of member banks or the general
credit situation. To offset the en-

ACorrection

We observe with pleasure that
an evening paper of Nogales has
become so interested In the rap
i'd progress of the NOgales In
ternatiOnal that 1t watches our
door assiduOusly.
Last night it made note Of the
fact that an obsolete linotype
machine was removed from our
premises. They neglected to add,
though they had full knowledge,
that said machine had been sold
by us at handsome cash figure
three weeks ago and that the
new owner, The Merganthaler
Linotype Company, yesterday
was simply removing it for ship
ment to it's factory at Brook
lyn, N. Y.
The evening paper, with its
usual underhand methods, tried
to leave the impression with the
few persons who read its col
umns, that The international
was compelled to dispose of the
machine against its will, when
the fact is that we are at the
peak of prosperity and having
recently purchased a brand new
linotype machine, none better
in NOgales, we no longer had
any use for the old machine
which long ago had 0utgrown
its usefulness. -.r

THREE NOGALES
FOOTBALL STARS
AMONG LEADERS

With the football season just
about to overlap into basketball.
results of the seasons playing are
beginning to come in and so far
Nogales has nothing whatever to-
feel ashamed about regarding the
record made by the high school
team during the last two or three
months.
A number of this years players
have received favorable mention
from different authorities on sports
throughout the state, among them
being Bailey who appears to have
attracted attention in number OF
places. For instance, he was picked
by the All Southern Conference for
right half back on the first team,
while Ashford and Simon were plac-
ed on the second team.
The Arizona Daily Star, selecting
members for an all state team from
eleven coaches in the state, finds
Bailey again chosen. The Star also
grants honorable mention to Ash
ford and Simon, and Steele, a senior,
is mentioned as center. The Tucson
Citizen also picks Steele for the
same position.
Vic Householder, sports authority
for the Salt River Valley who hand
les the sports page for the Arizona
Republican will reveal his deduc-
tions next Sunday, and it will be
interesting to note if his findings
coincide with the above.

IBICKE Ell NAMES
TEN GREATEST
NEW S FIGURES
U. P. Head, In Magazine
Interview, List Hoover
First

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 Omitted
Press).---A list of the ten greatest
news figures of the world, with
President Herbert Hoover In the
first position is selected by Karl
A. Bickel, President of the United
Press. in an interview appearing in
the January issue of The American
Magazine, out tomorrow.
Bickel places King George and
+! the Prince of Wales together as one
personality in second place and Col.
Charles A.. Lindbergh third. Benito
Mussolini is fourth, Ramsey Mac
Donald fifth, David Lloyd George
sixth, Henry Ford seventh, Thomas
A. Edison eighth, George Bernard
Shaw ninth and Owen D. Young
tenth. He points out that Lindbergh
is the only private citizen to COM
mand constant front page space for
three years.
I'VE simply can't stop printing
news about Lindbergh." says Bickel.
Practically everything he does is
news. Moreover, like Thomas A Ed
ison and Henry Ford. he has come
to represent an idea. and an al
mighty potent ddea. In the public
eye, he stands for aviation, the
triumph of the air." Great figures
in sports, who command daily space
in newspapers are omitted as not
being TRULY subjects of Information
al news interest.
1 Women, continued Bickel, have
lost their news appeal generally.
"Once," he says, "a woman steeple-
jack, woman taxicab driver, a wo-
man coal miner, woman preacher
was in herself a story. But we
have become accustomed to having
women around us everywhere, in
business and public life. Women no
longer excite news interest by do
ing the unusual for so many of them
are doing it"
Public Tastes Change
Public tastes in news, adds Bick-
el, has changed in recent years be-
cause "life is not so thin. Drama,
he says, is coming in new forms.
First, however, among the sub
jects that are Of the most wide
spread interest, are those involv-
| ing the relation between sexes,
which may take the form Of scan
dial or crime, or the loftiest ro-
nance, but there has been mark
ed decline of interest in ordinary
crime news.
"I do not mean to say that in
terest in crime of an extraordinary
sort, with unusual elements OF mys-
terry and the great human forces in
yolved, is less today than formerly"
says Bickel, "'but popular interest in
what newspaper men call cheap
crime is dead. There have been too
many other things to occupy u.s."
The United Press head points out,
among other changes in news, the
increased interest in financial sub
jects which has sprung up since the
pool of world credit moved from
London to New York after the war.
The amount of financial news print
ed today is 100 per cent more than
that Of ten years ago. Another
change is in the popular demand for
racing news, which he takes as an
indication that the public has more
money to- spend. The demand for
European news is four times as
great as during the war and five
times more news Is being brought
from Latin America than before the
war. Aviation, within, o few years
