organic equilibrium between capt.

This last remark attracted sten~
ton not only in industrial and la
Dor headquarters Of Mexico but in
the United States where many in
vestors have delayed their entry
into Mexico until the adoption Of
equitable labor laws.
I'VE must create a state of con-
fidence to favor investments" he
continued. I'VE realize that this
requires settlement of two major
problems. They are the agrarian
and labor questions, both Of which
constitute the basis Of the revolu-
tionary program"
Congress already is studying
tentative changes in the labor
laws. A few hours after his mes
sage was delivered, President Ortiz
Rubio sent TO congress an amend
ment to the agrarian laws, making
several basic changes In their
present operation.
Laws Revised?
The IRE e is amendment
would exclude from the present
agragrian laws the provision al
lowing for the taking over for dis
tribution to peasants lands In pro-
duction Of fruit. dairy, sugar.
vegetable or cattle. Many land
owners have hesitated to operate
their haciendas for fear Of having
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-11-13

them taken over and distributed
TO peasants. The amendment also
rejects the demand of villages for
enlargement Of their communal
lands unless they have money on
hand TO pay the landowners. At
present land seized paid for In
federal agragrian bonds which are
cashable at about Is per cent Of
their face value.
The amendment also would give
hacienda owners the right to en-
ploy large numbers Of poems with
out being under obligation to give
the poems land. 1t has been the
practice in the past for poems to
form a village on the hacienda
employing them and demand, and
receive, communal lands at the
expense Of the landowner.
1T Is my determination to take
whatever steps are necessary to
place the finances of Mexico on a
sound basis. to carry NJ both the
internal and exterior obligations.

Bath Every Six Months
Sufficient for Monks

Rules for bathing In the Benedic-
tine monasteries Of the Fourteenth
century have been discovered at
London, England, in the regulations
Of st. Augustine's, Canterbury and
st. Peters, Westminster.
Monks were allowed to take
baths twice year-before Christ
mas and Pentecost. Previous to
the Fourteenth century, four baths
were allowed annually. but this
number was cut In half because
bathing was considered q luxury eS.
cept when necessary for the sick.
Only four monks could battle In
one day, so it took more than two
weeks to accommodate the 60
monks In the monastery. No baths
were allowed ON Sunday.
The monks had servants to wash
them. At Westminster these serv-
ants received extra food and beer
on bath days."
The baths were taken sitting in
a tub, instead Of standing, as was
probably the secular custom at the
time. Monks were not allowed to
stay In the baths to soak" after
they had been washed.
At first, bathing was conducted
in complete silence. but "the good
custom has been entirely aban.
doned in these modern times" Of the
Fourteenth century.
