CUBAN DANCE HALL
 MENACE COMbA7ED
Cheap Dives in Chinatown Are
 Closed at Havana

Havana. April 12 R-Havana is having its night club growing pains. Legislators view the increase in number of cabarets in various lights as menace to minors, as an at- traction for tourist dollars. as breed CTS of vice. While they scratch heads over the problem of ridding the town of those resorts that cause scandal, without interfering with the more luxurious places, joy-loving Cubans cheerfully feed indiscrimin- ate dollars into the night club grist.
 Most recent of municipal and fed eral government attempts to classify cabarets and close certain types was Mayor Miguel Mariana Gomez's wholesale padlocking of so-called dancing academies" in the China town district. His secret service men told him-what every casual tourist knows-that the cabarets with 20 cent entrance fee, no cou- vert charge. and unbounded dancing opportunities. are nightly crowded with minors.
 He put the lid on tight. and since that date has been listening to the incessant vail of proprietors who protest discrimination against their cheap prices. while the more ornate clubs with regular hostesses and high prices, are allowed to operate unmolested.
 The answer to the problem, as one supper club lawyer sees it, is to make public outcry or public scandal the only cause for paddock. There are those, however, claiming public welfare as their motive, ready to reply that there is never any notice- able outcry or public scandal in a Havana cabaret. that gang warfare is unknown, but that. nevertheless, all supper clubs constitute seduc- tive influence towards the downfall of youth.

HOOVER CHEERING SAVED HIS LIFE
American Caught in Mexican
 Rebel Trap Gets Out

Mexico City, April 12 R)-Cheer- ing for Hoover on the day the presi- dent of the United States was in- augurated possibly saved the life of an American in Mexico.
 It is always important in Mexico to know the right thing to say when a sentry challenges. but during a revolutionary period the importance of being able to say the right thing at the right time cannot be overesti. mated. It can easily become life or death matter if the wrong words are spoken.
 An American who spoke little Spanish. but understood Mexican ways, left Mexico City the morning of March 3, the day the present revolution broke out, en route to Fl Paso. While passing through Tor reon the following afternoon rebels seized the train and began question ing the passengers.
 A vicious-looking rebel officer, trailed by squad of soldiers looking not unlike a firing squad, stopped before the American.
 "Quien Vive?" suddenly boomed forth the officer with terrifying scowl.
 It was a moment of vast uncer- tainty. Upon the right answer. 1t might be, depended life itself. The American had no idea who the rebel leaders were, and the name of one of them was the password called for. Of dozen Mexican names which he could recall, possibly one or two would be the correct password. He hesitated. then came a stroke of genius.
 "Vive Hoover" he shouted. and was answered with a flashing smile and the joyous words: 'Es Nerdad."
 Within a few hours the American had crossed the danger zone and was well on his way to Fl Paso where he arrived t.e next day to find that Hoover had ratified President Coolidge's policy of recognition of de facto governments. It was virtually a death blow to the Mexican revo- lution. and the realization came to him that to have responded "Vive Hoover" twenty-four hours later would have been like shouting: "Nive Gales"

 The possibility that the flight may be continued eastward from New York was indicated by Shes takov who said that while plans after reaching New York were indefinite, an attempt might be made to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
 The fliers stopped here for refuelling instead of continuing on to Cheyenne because of heavy head-winds which cut down the fuel supply. The new motor sent to Cheyenne from Oakland is not expected to be used as the present motors were perfect in yesterdays flight.
