MEXICO ENFORCES
LAW ON ALIENS
Several Americans Among
Undesirable Foreigners
Ordered Deported.

~ the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, August 27.--Mexico
has started to clear its house OF unde-
sirable foreigners. Deportation orders
already have been issued against q con-
siderable number, including several
Americans. The government intends TO
continue this practice until only those
foreigners who have given evidence Of
their legal residence in the country and
a iustifiable reason for being here win
remain.
Late last year the interior depart
nnerlt announced that all foreigners res
ident in the country must 20 10 the
local ONCE Of the department and show
proof that they entered the country
legally and properly established their
residence; also that they were not pub
suits.
Cards emitting these foreigners to
remain permanently IN Mexico were Is
sued TO them and the time limit for
application was advanced on several
occasions, finally expiring August is.
With definite information en- hand as
to which foreigners are entitled to re-
main in the country, the government
has begun to round up the others.
Those who simply neglected TO comply
with the registration orders or were
unable to do so are merely fined, but
those who fall within the category of
undesirables are deported.
Chinese, Poles and Armenians make
up the bulk of those to be deported,
although several Americans and Ger
mans also have been notified to leave.

BIZ J. v. FIFE GERALD,

White collar jobs were not easy for
boys TO get so years ago. A youngster
had to take what was offered him and
at small wage, too. He worked long
hours and he generally did what the
boys of today would consider q mans
work. James A. Farrell was no differ.

ard the lads earnings were needed at
home. He was husky for his age. He
had no trouble getting job as a la
borer in the plant OF the New Haven
Wire Co. He was paid $465 a week for
IL hours daily of back-breaking work.
Such n life didn't ut in with the
plans young Farrell had made, when, he
was attending grammar school in New
Haven, Conn. He was born in that city
in 1868, the son of a Shipowner who
skippered his own craft. His father was
in comfortable circumstances. He count
ed on giving his son the benefit Of a
college education.
Went Out and Got Job.
But the elder Farrell met with re-
verses and went down at sea with his
ship before he was able TO get his son
started in life with the advantages of q
higher education. The youngster didn't
brood over his changed circumstances.
He went out and got job. He couldn't
have found q much harder one. With
his sturdy body and good health he
was able to hold his end up with
the grown men with whom he worked.

AS boy he had made several voyages
with his father. These trips aroused his
interest in geography, He poured over
the maps OF far away places when he
studied at night, after hard cay In
the mills. He would memorize his self
taught lessons and then draw the maps
from memory, filling in the important
cities, rivers, mountains and seaports.
In this way he cultivated q memory
that was TO serve him In good stead later
in life. His associates say that he never

once files away in his head. Early in
hts career he was able TO call of facts
and figures without recourse to books or
statements.

The boy found it hard at first to
cultivate asgood memory, but he kept
doggedly at his plan to remember the
facts he thought he might need, Soon
the task came easy to him. He worked
at developing his memory as another
boy might play game. 1t was his recre-

The future head of the United States
Steel Corporation had long and hard
row to hoe before he became salesman
and fulfill the promise of his schoolboy
days as a smart trader. After nine years
work in New Haven he went to Pitts
burgh. He had made up hts mind to
learn all there was to know about the
steel business. He was convinced that
Pittsburgh, the seat of industry, held
an opportunity for him.
Events Proved Wisdom.
Future events proved the wisdom of
his change. He was soon assistant SUI
perintendent of a mill after having
worked in the white-hot heat of the
blast furnaces and toiled, barred to the
waist, in the rolling plant. He was
promoted to the SUPPLEMENTARY and
later was made general manager. He
was learning how TO make steel and not
forgetting a thing.
His company finally put him in
charge of sales for the United States,
with headquarters in New York. He
was so successful that the Steel Corpo-
ration hired him and sent him to Eu-
rope in charge of sales. Here his knowl-
edge of foreign conditions, that had its
beginning in his study Of foreign geog-
raphy as boy, helped him to estab-
