MEXICO GAMBLING

PIaces-RouIette and Bac-
carat to Be Barred.

MEXICO CITY, June IL (P. A
denial that the government would take
immediate steps to close gambling es-
adjustments in Mexican cities located
along the American border was made
today by Acting Minister OF the Interior
Octavio Mendoza Gonzalez.
He explained that a decree issued
several days ago was intended to pre-
pare the way for legislation to control
gaming establishments. Once the leg
islation Is enacted roulette, baccarat
and other games prohibited by law
would be barred, he indicated, but this
will not be for some time.
The decree returns the right of
granting concessions to the federal dis
trict government and the treasury de-
partment, and leaves the interior de-
partment with only the right to grant
concessions to commercial establish
ments and lottery companies.
In all these cases only the class of
gambling allowed by the constitution
will be permitted. The federal district
government will grant concessions for
the federal district, and aspects Of the
concessions affecting taxation will be
referred to the treasury department.

breeders of accidents and the careful
driver is never safe from becoming in
volved with one of them. Every motor
list has probably had the experience of
trying to overtake q slow-moving CEN
ter-of-the-street driver who Immediately
on hearing the horn of the car behind
increases his pace. which in effect traps
the driver who is seeking to pass him.
Every motorist has likewise had the
experience in a tight traffic jam of
having the car beside him weave in and
out with no regard for marked lanes
Of travel or common sense.
And the accident breeders develop
many other practices which delay
traffic and cause congestion. If they
wish to make left turn at an in
tersection they almost invariably find
themselves on the far right-hand side
of the street and in the maneuver they
cut off straightforward travel. In
waiting for red light to change, they
seem to lose all interest in the mat
ter and for precious seconds will delay
their start to hold up those behind
them. The right-of-way grabbers are
especially prevalent, and many a seri-
Gus accident has been caused by those
who willy-nilly try to crash through
moving lines of traffic.
This is especially true in the National
Capital with the return TO the normal
left-hand turn. Some of the violations
OF the right-of-way rule seen daily on
the streets Of Washington can probably
be traced to ignorance of the new regu-
lation, but in few weeks there will be
no excuse for lack of knowledge as
to right OF way in this respect,
The careful and skillful driver is never
"out of position" In other words, II
left turn is contemplated he sees to
1t that he Is in the lane nearest the
center of the street long before he
reaches the intersection. The same ap-
plies to right turn. He must get
himself into position before he intends
to leave, the street on which he has
been travelling. 1t is all matter OF
common sense and those who cannot
apply this attribute to their daily driv-
ing habits should be ruled of the high
ways until they can.

The Gas Suit.

The recently concluded hearings be-
fore the Public Utilities Commission
into the ownership of the local gas
companies were undertaken primarily
to test the groundwork which might
support later legal action. Having care
fully prepared himself in advance by
diligent investigation, William A.
Roberts, assistant corporation counsel,
was able to establish certain facts
through examination of witnesses that
left no doubt in anybodys mind con-
corning the dictatorship over the local
gas companies exercised from Chicago
by the officers of the Central Public
Service Corporation. And if 1t is true,
as contended, that the ownership of
the companies is in reality vested in
the Westfield Trust, it is also true that
the virtual ownership of the Westfield
Trust lies with the Central Public Serv-
ice Corporation.
The facts developed in the hearings
are sufficient in full to warrant another
AN6pA Wow VA lA4C oSb up
under the sc-called La Toilette anti
merger act. Such test is to all intents
and purposes now assured through the
recommendation of the Public Utilities
Commission to the Commissioners that
suit be instituted, charging the Central
Public Service Corporation with viola
tim nf tho a 70 mt At; l.,
the Commissioners to direct the insti-
tuition of such proceedings may be taken
for granted.
The success of the proposed litigation
is another matter. The District may
not succeed in proving illegal acts by

thus re-establishing local control of the
gas companies. But the hearings have
already shown the ease with which the
purposes CT the La Toilette act may be
frustrated as a practical matter, and if
they can be shown to have been evaded
without actually running afoul of the
law. legislative remedies are necessary
and there will be cause in plenty to de-
mand them.
In the meantime the Public Utilities
Commission has been able to stop Ger
tain leaks and has been forewarned
against others that might drain the
revenues of the local companies. And
the commission has taken the proper
step IN ordering revaluation of the
properties that intimately will serve
as the basis for a REORGANIZATION and
revision Of the rate structure.
Mr.. Roberts and the commission have
done a good job. Their coming court
tight is by no means to be regarded
as an idle gesture.

Whistlers and Morons.

Prof. Charles Gray Shaw of New
York University has apparently
plunged into hot water with his diatribe
against those who are prone to indulge
In what has generally been considered
the harmless paStime of whistling. In
the first interview which the learned
professor delivered for Nation wide con-
sumption he described all whistlers as
morons and it might have been gath
cred from the professors remarks that
that was quite a mild term for them
since he went into great detail to ex-
plain his distate for this breed of man
kind. Later in another interview which
was as eagerly seized upon as the first
the professor INDUCED in little back
tracking. modifying his statement to
the effect THAT those who whistle to
make music were not so bad, but those
who whistle for fun or to keep I'D their
! courage on lonely roads at night or for
any other ''illegitimate" purpose were
still morons and probably always
would be-
1t seems pity that Prof. Shaw has
sought to take whistling away from the
populace, because certainly no one is
going to indulge in whistling any more
and Immediately be classed as moron.
1t is too bad the professor could not or
lid not offer a substitute. What is a
fellow to do when his best girl tells him
she loves him and sets the wedding
date for only a, short time ahead?
What is he to do If he adds few dol
Jars to his slender bank account on
the stock market in these days of de-
preston? And what is he going to do
when he gets up in the morning with
that poppy feeling and feels that he
is right with the world?
These questions should be answered.
The professor should not keep an ex-
pectant nation in suspense

account of the circumstances which
precipitated his action, he will be al

standpoint Of world understanding and

COURTESY in Driving.

Chief of Police August Vollmer Of
Berkeley, Calf, hits the nail on the
head in his statement just issued by
the National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety in regard to courtesy,
consideration and common sense as
they affect the automobile fatality and
accident toll. His words are full of
wisdom and should be needed by every
one, motorist or pedestrian, who uses
the streets of American cities today.
Here is what Chief Vollmer has to say:
Reduction in accidents must be ac-
complished through education. OPP
orators and pedestrians alike must be-
come accident conscious, and be con-
stantly aware of the dangers that are
incident to increased use Of automobiles
on streets and highways.
With a definite percentage Of mat

operators using the streets, the law Of
averages exacts a definite fixed toll.
