It's the most gossipy season we've
ever had. Teacup holders won't let
go of two morsels of chatter which
seem to have peculiar intrigue for
them and which threaten to break
any moment.

about to be divorced, despite their

he has behind him a record Of
accomplishment that others of the
same group in Federal officialdom
of today are just acquiring.
Has Accomplished Much
Drafting the newly enacted Sc
curities law designed to protect
the American investing public
was only one Of the major jobs
that Mr.. Mathews has success
fully handled for the New Deal.
No one knows how many other
major Federal policies he has
shaped in that quiet, efficient

Regulation of the stock ex-
changes under new law, Mr..
Mathews frankly characterizes as
an experime n in so far as
method is concerned. He is thor.
oughly behind the law, but he
has to be shown.
Mr.. Mathews was born in Iowa.
Early in life his family moved
into Wisconsin, and he has lived
there ever since. He was grad
uated from the University Of Wis
consin in 1908, and has never
had a profession, in the strict
sense of the word.

President as the best equipped
man in the country to take over
the work of building securities

Deal.
Mr.. Mathews has a real abhor-
renee of publicity. He likes to
work behind the scenes quietly,
and apparently has been able to
do this and perform a number of
tasks which normally would

Secretary of the Interior Har.
old L. Ickes believes in those
words, "Go West, young man."
but he also believes in little bit
of privacy in westerly expeditions.
Consequently, in announcing
that he plans to take a vacation
for two or three weeks, the Secre-
tary made it plain that he is going
West, but only on condition that
he can go "incognito."
MIR. IckeS plans to leave on his
vacation next week. It will be the
first time he has taken any time
off since he came to Washington
to assume his role of Secretary
Of the Interior. Since then he
has become Public Works Admin
dstrator, Oil Administrator, and
so many other things that he has
never taken a single day away
from his desk.
And despite the fact that an
other member Of the Cabinet,
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley, is enjoying his vacation by
making political speeches from
one end Of the country to the
other, Mr.. Ickes is going to make
his vacation a vacation and moth

The Mexican government has
instructed the embassy here to
ignore General Hugh 8. John

he had seen in Mexico during
the villa ravages," it was learned
today.
General Jotrson's remarks,
made during the course Of q
speech at Waterloo, Iowa, were
transmitted by the embassy to
Mexico City and it was thought
the Mexican government might
instruct the embassy to make q
protest.
However, an official Of the en-
bassy today said the Mexican
government did not intend to
take any action in the matter.
Meanwhile, the State Depart.
ment considered the incident with
Germany closed following Secret
ary of state Hull's reply to the
embassy.
DR.. Rudolf Leitner, the German
Charge d'Affaires, called on Sec
retary Hull and formally protested
against General Johnson's action
in likening Chancellor Adolf Hit

party to "half drunk savages' or
ravages under the notorious Mex"
ican bandit, Pancho villa.
Secretary Hull called DR.. Lett

spoke as an individual and not
for the State Department or the

pressing regret that General John
