MEXICO CITY, Jan. 1. Ii Congress approves the new labor law elaborated by Provisional President Emilio Portes Gil, Mex ico will embark upon one of the most interesting experiments of it's history.
 After eight years of study it will put into effect what is de- scribed as a cardinal principle of the revolution, seeking to better the working mans conditions and at the same time provide for standardization of labor in time of emergency.
 The author of the measure gives full credit for development of the idea to the late General Alvaro Obregon. Three months prior to his death the Revolution ary leader appointed President Gil head of a commission to draw up the project.
 Opinions are about evenly di- vided as to the feasibility of the proposed regulations. Many con- tend they are too radical and will not work out in practice, while

HANOI, Jan. 1.-France means to keep foreign political propagan- da out of her Far Eastern poses sions. She has taken measures to bar the way to elements of dis order, and her civil and military administrations in Indochina have been ordered by the new governor general to keep on the alert.
 Ever since the political upheav- als in China took on international importance the French press has shown it's uneasiness lest the con- tagion of political disorder and of revolution affect Indachina Fears were often expressed for the sc- security of those parts of it's ter ritory which lie along the frontier of southern Chinese provinces.
 There has been no disorder up to the present, largely because of the vigilence of French function aries.

IeH MONOPOLY OF RADIUM PROTESTED

LONDON. Jan. 1-The Eng fish medical profession has re- belled against the high cost of radium, the therapeutic proper ties of which make it one of the most efficient agents known in the cure of cancer.
 Tired of paying around $120,- 900 for a teaspoonful of radium, the British physicians, led by Sir Berkeley Moynihan, President of the Royal College of Surgeons, and Lord Knutsford. Chairman of the great London Hospital, are demanding governmental inquiry. At the same time an effort is being made to have the matter taken up by the League of Nations, cn the grounds that it is of international concern.
 It is asserted by the British doctors that a Belgian company has acquired monopoly in pro duction as well as a corner in the existing world supply of radium, that unlike the British monopoy in the production of diamonds or the corner which the English tried to maintain in rubber, radium is humanity's chief hope of deliverance from the cancer scourge, and it's un- fettered exploitation fon conner cial purposes is something which all civilized governments should resist.

13-Year.0ld Terriers Sight Fail
ing, 2.Year-0ld Pilots Him
Around Town.

Teddy" a 13-year old Boston ter
rier, gradually is going blind, but his
yonug pal, Buddy" 2-year-old intel
ligent German shepherd, has taken him
in tow, and the two have become one
OF the sights of downtown Washington.
The dogs live at 1907 E street. They
are owned by M. Berman, and the shep-
herd dog has been taught to lead
Teddy" about by the leash so he will
not be injured in traffic.
Crowds watch them wherever they
go, and they have attracted much at
tention as the big dog trots amiably
along, holding in his mouth the leather
leash, leading his smaller, and much
older companion safely among the
pedestrians, and across intersections.
Buddy" was trained to do this act
by Edward P. Hachenberg. who is en-
ployed by the animals owner.
Buddy" also is becoming adept at
the art Of carrying bundles in his
capacious jaws, in addition to holding
the leash. SO when Hachenberg goes
shopping Buddy" performs the service
not only Of keeping Teddy" safely in
tow, but Of carrying papers, bundles,
and often comparatively heavy pack
ages in his mouth.
