senate and house approves over
whelmingly the bill to let veterans
borrow one-half the value of their
war certificates. If they borrow
one-half, Uncle Sam will have to
pay out more than ST, 100000,
and high finance says that will be
ruinous.
AS rule, "big money" which
means ability, should receive re-
spectful attention, as does the cap
tain of ship. But high finance is
sometimes mistaken. Big bankers
said the federal reserve system
would ruin the country, because it
kept few men from controlling
all the money. They were wrong.
Without the federal reserve this
country would have had black
panic long ago They may be
wrong in their idea that handing
billion dollars to those that need it,
and earned it, will ruin us now.
American lady patriots listening
here for three hours are assured
that Russia threatens our institu-
tions, and this land is practically
the last refuge of good government,
as opposed to Red Russian ideas
Doctor Patmont of California went
to Russia, fooled the secret pO-
lice, went just wherever he pleased,
and saw things behind the scenes
that Americans less intelligent
never see" He saw young girls
standing in bread lines with babies
born illegitimately under this Soviet
system lie saw wild children,
offspring of free love, sanctioned
by the Soviet system, roaming
around, until they were killed as
pests by villagers and their bodies
burned"
In his introduction to the writ

pared for next years two hun.
dredth anniversary, President Hoov-
er says Washington's engineering
ability has never been fully appre-
GATED
Washington's methods were sur
prisingly modern.
He reclaimed the Dismal swamp
in Virginia, was adviser and engi-
neer on the Potomac and james
River canal and first to advise a
combined highway and waterway
from the Atlantic coast to the Ohio
river.
The President describes his pred
ecessor as "the must potent human
intellectual force in the armament
of American intellect
George Washington was the first
engineer to occupy the White
House. President Hoover is the
second.
Hermosillo, Capital of Sonora,
Mex.-The Indian word hermosillo
means little beauty" and his ex-
cellency, Francisco Elias, governor
of this state, says it applies to the
city and to each woman in it. On
the streets, in stores, or at work in
government offices, you see beauti-
full young girls. There is not
bobbed head or a shaved neck
among them. Their dark hair falls,
naturally curly loose on their
shoulders and necks. Sometimes
fo or III III,
lids are lowered demurely, but
when a young rancher from Cali
fornia asks one of them a question
and she raises her eyes, his care
fully prepared Spanish words are
driven from his mind.
This is a beautiful old city, one
of the most important and pro-
gressive in Mexico. The soil is so
fertile that even with dry-farming
of wheat it yields ninety bushels
of crop for one bushel of sown seed.
A soil expert sent by the British
government to seek land for corn
growing reported that the area west
of Hermosillo has the fertility of
the Nile valley.
, The state and federal govern
mentS concentrate on three things
education of children, building
good roads, finding employment for
the idle-While waiting for the new
schools. Governor Elias leases
the biggest private houses avail
able, turning them into schools. Six
hundred children go to school in
one such building, 300 in another.
Americans discuss an interna-
tional highway from Canada,
through Mexico to the Panama
canal, and perhaps on to TERRA
del Fuego. That is pleasant talk.
But in the meanwhile Governor
Elias has gigantic machines scat
tered between Hermosillo and No
gales, 175 miles, and will have that
road finished in year or less, if
he can get more modern road ma
chinery. Giant tractors and grad
ing machines could be seen at work
on the new highway south recently,
hundreds of men with stump pull
ers and blasting material working
ahead of the road machinery.
All that equipment is bought in
the United States. Mexico is a
good customer and good friend
of this country.
