Mr.. Ferguson is correct as far as
he goes but he stops short Of in
forming the dear public that a Sc
cond and more elaborate system OF
paved highways is being cons
tructed to Matamoros, and will
connect the Valley with the capital
of Mexico by an even shorter and
better route.
1t is safe TO predict that the
majority Of tourists travelling into
Mexico will journey via the Magic
Valley. thereby combining a trip
to the nations coming summer
and winter resort with a trip into
a foreign country.
And another thing Mr.. Ferguson
didn't know anything about was
Mexico's new policy OF encouraging
European tourists. news which was
announced in yesterdays Herald.
AT present the American tourist
Is somewhat uncomfortable in Mex
leo. Climate IS chilly even in sum-
mer and most OF the hotels are un-
heated. Food is bad. but every
thing the tourists needs will spring
up beside the road, as 1t always
does"
True enough. Things are already
beginning to change. new hotels
are being built. and the dear
tourist will find a modern country
with all modern conveniences
awaiting him. This. however. will
not mar the picturesqueness Of the
country.

Legitimate business.
Here's q chance to get some in

MOTOR SAFETY RULES 1880
"Give Fellow Drivers a Break
and Be Courteous

Decision to make 1880 a year of
safety through careful driving
should be to the forefront on the
New Year resolutions of every car
owner, says ]. Warren Marshall,
president of the Delaware Motor
Club, A. A. A., DUPONT Biltmore
Hotel, which is affiliated with the
American Automobile Association.
Mr.. Marshall pointed out that by
far the largest portion of the an
nuai toll of deaths and injuries is
due to neglect and failure of mo-
torists to keep their cars in prop
er condition. The latter, he said
also has a telling effect on the ac-
cident list. while the progress
made in regulating traffic, safety
campaigns and the development of
sager automobiles has done much
in reducing driving hazards said
remains in the hands of motorists.
Careful driving in properly equip
ped and maintained automobiles,
more than anything else, forms
the basis of safety on the streets
and highways" The A. A. A
club executive declared that car
owners would do well to keep in
mind the following simple rules:
L. Be courteous. Never race
for a crossing or a position on the
road because you feel you have
the right-of-way.
2. Never travel at rate of
speed that will make it impossible
to bring the car to a stop in a
reasonable distance.
3. Never speed uphill or on
curves where there is not a clear
vision ahead.
4. Keep your eye on the road
and do not talk with persons on
the back seat while driving.
5. Study local traffic rules and
obey them. You may not agree
that they are all sound, but they
benefit the majority
6. Study ways of avoiding con-
gested streets and it will be found
that time can be saved with great
er driving safety.
z. Remain safe distance be
hind the car ahead, especially on
heavy-traveled highways.
s. Always be sure that the
brakes of your car, lights, wind
shield wiper and other safety ap-
pliances are ready to function.
9. Always give fellow motor
lists ''break" and you will be sur
prised at the number you get.

Amber and Meerschaum

Amber can be made to burn when
heated to a high temperature in
the air. 1t is a fossil resin from
trees of the pine family and is dug
up from the shores of the Baltic
sea and the North sea and a few
other places. 1t is a compound of
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Meer-
schaum is a compound Of mag
nesium. silicon and oxygen and re-
spnbles a white clay. It is found
chiefly in Asia Minor, where it oc-
ours in masses of clay. OF course,
the only connection between the
two substances is the fact that
they are both used in making pipes.

Barred Plymouth Rock chickens,
valued at 500 each, which were
stolen from the poultry farm of
Andrew Marvel Sunday morning
or sometime during the night. 1t
is probable, the owner believes,
that the chickens will be offered
for sale in some city close by. The
sheriff, State Detectives and State
Highway Police have also been
notified. The chickens were bred
especially for breeding purposes in
order to raise the quality of poul-
try in this section. They had been
exhibited at the State Poultry
Show and other places and had
won first prize. Mr.. Marvel oper-
ates one of the largest poultry
farms in the lower part of the
State. Two years ago he engaged
Professor M. G. fitzpatrick, of Cor
nell University, who is one Of tie
foremost chicken experts in the
country, to take charge of the
farm for the purpose of breeding
super chickens. The fowl which
was stolen included fifty of the
chickens which had been especially
bred by Professor Fitzpatrick and
much was expected from them.
The chickens were in special
house on the farm and this was
broken into and the chickens stol-
en-. There is no clue to the thiev-
es. The loss is especially severe
on account of the quality of the
chickens and Mr.. Marvel will co
everything possible to capture and
punish the thieves.

Camels in Australia

Many camels are used in Aus
tralia as beasts of burden. For in
stance from Wyndham in north
western Australia the cattle sta
tions are served by camel trains
which carry supplies for hundreds
of miles into the interior. "The
camels are driven by Afghans," J"
says the National Geographic soci-
ETY.. Camel teams are familiar
sights in the streets of the little
township, hauling in the great wa
gonloads of firewoOd from the out
lying district. The first camels
were brought to Australia for the
use of the early explorers. Later

LAUDS MORTGAGE
PROTECTION LAWS
Pacific Coast Official Tells
Bankers How Interest Is
Insured in West.

80 far as we have been able TO as
certain. California is the only State in
the Union where governmental legisla-
ton and active governmental supervi-
sion control the companies engaged in
the business of guaranteeing and insur-
ing the payment OF interest and prin-
cipal on mortgages" said Wallace NOR.
vice president Pacific Mortgage Guar
anty Co. Los Angeles, speaking before
the Mortgage Bankers Association Com
vention in Detroit. ut is true that
oregon has similar law, but, so far as
under It.
Makes It's Own Loans.
Briefly. q mortgage insurance COM
pany makes It's own loans, groups them
with q trust company, insures and
guarantees the payment Of the interest
and principal of all the loans in that
group, and then sells first mortgage as
signments or mortgage participation
certificates, which evidence an actual
ownership in that certain group Of
guaranteed mortgages"
In California, under this mortgage
insurance act, the companies which it
covers must comply with all the re-
quirements of the insurance laws of
Lkle OJdle ana Tie rules OF IHe OCaVe
Insurance Department.
The mortgage insurance companies
must have at least $3.50 900 in capital
stock, fully paid in, in cash. They can
not issue policies of mortgage insur-
ance covering more than so per cent
of the market value of the real estate.
Outstanding policies Of mortgage insur-
ance must not exceed 20 times the
company's paid-in capital.
Under the mortgage insurance act"
Mr.. Moir stated, "all appraisers for
mortgage insurance companies must be
approved by the superintendent of banks
and by the insurance commissioner"
Insurance Law Sound.
"This mortgage insurance law is
sound" said MIR. NOR when properiN
used, it results in the creation of q
uniform security that meets the most
exacting requirements of mortgage in
vesters. Under the mortgage insurance
law first mortgage assignments are always
uniform products. The bringing together
OF an admirable diversification of good
mortgage securities and the guaranty
OF responsible underwater in a well
co-ordinated procedure actively SUPER
vised by governmental authority, results
in the production of an investment Of
fering that is well balanced, properly
secured, unquestionably safe, uniform in
character, uniform in appearance and
continuous in output"

Weakness in Grain Market
Occasions Further Sell
ing of Securities.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,


NEW YORK, September 23.-Stocks
backed and filed irregularly today,
while wheat was selling at the lowest
prices in years, but the support placed
behind seasoned dividend-paying issues,
reputedly by important financial inter-
ests, made the bear faction cautious and
facilitated the rallies.
Quotations at the opening were un-
even, and there was a small decline In
the early dealings, which carried few
important shares to new low for the
movement. However, the market recov-
cred these losses easily and made a
cautious advance, which was later lost
on bear drive, stimulated by the weak
ness of the grains and numerous other
commodities. Coppers and oils were
ltquidated rather freely in this selling,
and new lows for the year in both
groups were numerous.
Demand for Leaders.
However, a more active demand for
the market leaders brought moderate
gains in the early afternoon. American
Can, American Telephone and Ameri-
can Water Works rose 3 points or more,
Bethlehem Steel, Westinghouse Electric,
United Aircraft and Allied Chemical
gained about and U. S. Steel, Johns
Manville, National Biscuit, Atchison
and North American rallied point or
more. In the copper group, Anaconda,
Kennecott, Andes, Calumet g. Arizona
and Calumet 81 Hecla made new lows,
while among the oils Standard of New
York, Prairie Oil, Ohio Oil and Warner
Quinlan sagged to new minimums.
Omission of the 81 dividend on Re-
public Steel common had been ex-
pected and the stock rallied on short
covering after the action of the di-
rectors had been announced. Pierce
Arrow preferred was strong, moving up
several points in response to the state
ment of the companys president that
the class "a" would be placed on a So
annual basis as the result of improved
business.
With German bonds rallying on the
London and New York markets, pro-
fessional bears were not disposed to
make capital of the foreign situations
that were the subject of. rumor and
gossip yesterday. A fair inquiry for
American stocks by European buyers
was reported.
Weakness Of the copper. shares was
based on unfavorable dividend pros
poets. Although most of the large COM
panies have already sharply curtatled
payments to ockholders-Several have
cut more than once THIS year-turCner
reductions are generally expected. Some
leading producers have cut prices to
1917 cents a pound for the remainder
Of the year, and numerous prominent
consumers are understood to have taken
care of their requirements for the next
two or three months, leaving the out
look for the industry rather gloomy.
Business News.
Routine business news offered little
that could be called encouraging in
speculative circles, where pessimism is
so popular. The weekly bank statement
reported a $3,000,000 drop in CONNER
cial loans, although there was gain
of $4,000 900 in this item in the New
York Federal Reserve district. August
income statements from the railroads
disclosed declines from the same month
a year ago.
