To determine the striking changes
that modern influences have wrought
in American life, President Hoover mas
appointed a committee of noted soclolo-
gists and given to 1t the task OF con-
Quoting an exhaustive survey.
Such questions as the effect OF city
life upon mental and physical health,
changes In family life, problems arising
from increased leisure and host OF
kindred subjects will furnish material
for minute scientific research that IS
expected to require two or three years
for completion.
The purpose of the survey is the pro-
duction of "a body of systematic tact
about social problems hitherto macceS5 o,Sd
SibIe, that will be of fundamental ana
permanent value to all students and
workers in the field of social science"
w. C. Mitchell Head.
At the head of the survey the Presi-

burn, professor of sociology in the Uni
versity of Chicago; Howard w. Odum,

of North Carolina, and Shelby M Har-
rison of the Russell Sage Foundation.

borne by the Rockefeller Foundation.
In announcing the appointment OF the
committee, the White House said thaG
important preliminary work had been
done by the Social Science Research
Council.

Improvement of national health and
vitality. its bearing upon increased
number. Of persons of old age and other

such as insane, feeble-minded, etc; the
effect of urban life upon mental ana

Cupations likely to continue to dlmlnlsn
in importance; those likely to increase;

Chairman Lehlbaeh of the civil

than passed the Senate, has been in
conference with Chairman Smell and
other House leaders urging that House
members be given an opportunity TO

has been substituted for the Lehlbach
bill in the House.
There seems to be no doubt that II

as characters in fairy tales used as
themes for the occasions. The ambas-
sador, of course. is assisted by Nine.
Teller. charming. highly cultivated
and deeply maternal woman who Is
gifted as linguist.
Contact with Teller is always pleas
ant because Of his keen sense of
humor. He Is fond of telling apt
stories to illustrate his point and was
even telling them to Secretary Of
State Kellogg when Nervous Nellie
was at his worst. One doesn't sug-
ge1t that Teller or any other Latin
American doesn't sometimes get ex-
cited, but he. retains sense Of pro-
portion in crisis and seldom becomes
! irritated.
He came here in 1919, toward the
end of the Carranza administration.
as first secretary Of the embassy
under Ambassador Bonillas. He had
served in the Far East, as might be
gathered from many rare oriental
objects In the embassy here today.
Owing to his long service abroad he
never became entangled with any
political faction at home.
He was hardly in Washington be-
! fore Carranza was overthrown and
Bonillas faded from the picture.
Teller became charge daffaires dur
ing the most delicate part Of Mexico's
reconstruction period. The Oregon
administration remained unrecognized
| by our government for three years
and the patient work and poiseful
attitude OF Teller Is supposed to have
been a large factor toward appoint
ment of the Payne Warren commits
sion which went to Mexico in the
f! spring Of 1923 and brought about
agreements resulting In recognition.
Teller was appointed minister to
Venezuela In 1922 and later minister
to China, but he never left his post
because Obregon considered his serv-
ices here SO valuable. Neither did
Obregon. after he was recognized,
appoint any ambassador to Washing
ton. leaving the incoming president,
Gales, free hand to use his best
Judgment regarding this post. which
Is to Mexicans second in Importance

\ \ X
A former resident of Mexico once
told this writer that when the Gales
cabinet met to consider diplomatic
appointments and Gales announced
that he would appoint Teller, his
advisers told him that would be i'm
possible. It would break all precedent
to appoint to Mexicos chief diplo-
matte post one who had never been
either an ambassador or a minister
elsewhere.
| Someone has to make precedent"
Gales replied, 80 I will make ono
now by appointing Mexican who has
won his post through magnificent
services rendered to his country"

washington, March 81. Unques-
tionably the foreign diplomat inWash-
ington who has had the most diff
cult and delicate task during the last
ten years is Don Manuel G. Teller, the
ambassador from Mexico.
II he had not proved himself nearly
a super diplomat he probably would
not still be here. II hts foot had
slipped there were innumerablc poll
ticians In Mexico who hungcrcd for
his job.
Probably his most narrowing days
came during 1926 and 1927 when the
State Department anonymously re-
leased the story that the Mexican
government had sold out TO the Boil
sheviki. and when hot notes were be-
ing exchanged between the two CAPT.
tails by the score.
These are busy and possibly wor-
ried days for Teller, too, but now
the United States is openly on the
side Of the Mexican government as it
undertakes to put down a military in
surrection and his load Is not as
heavy.
y ~ -
1t was when Mexican American re-
lations were at their very worst that
Don Manuel began to build a doll
house. It was very remarkable doll
house. 1t was built upon billiard
table in the embassy and 1t required

harried moments, between receipt or
dispatch of vital coded kilograms and
important visits to the state depart
ment, Teller found surcease from his
worries as he labored patiently and

The Teller hobbies are children and
books. He keeps up with his social
obligations, but his life is very simple
and he often works on warm days in
his shirtsleeves. His complete lack OF

except when obviously required. is one
Of the impressive things about the
