Governor, so Mexicans
Killed in Express
Near Vera Cruz

MEXICO CITY, April Z uN.SO.
A plot to take the life of a Mexi-
can politician was blamed tenta-
lively today for a disastrous wreck
in which a Mexican railway ex-
press train was bombed over a
high bridge about so miles from
Vera Cruz, part of the train plung-
ing into q deep ravine below, deal
ing death to so persons.
Officials, upon first inveStiga.
ton Of the tragedy. believed per.
sons who had repeatedly threat
ened the life Of Col. Eduardo Cha
faro. gllbernatorial candidate trav-
cling on the train, had bombed
it. Other theories were that band
it's or rebels had dynamited the
train.
Plunges Off Bridge
The locomotive, an express car,
q mail car and two wooden coaches
plunged into the ravine. First
estimates were that possibly 80
persons had been killed. Colonel
ChaZaro's charred body, among
the first found in the wreckage,
was identified by unburned papers.
The wreck occurred late last
night on the PaSo Grande bridge
between Vera Cruz and Mexico
City.
No Americans were believed
among the $50 passengers. most
of whom were holiday excursion
lists.
Killed Instantly
The ravine is so deep that
reScuers believed most of the vic
Tins were killed instantly. Several
passenger cars remained on the
tracks, balanced perilously on the
wrecked treStle.
In addition to Colonel Chazaro,
more than a score of State poll
ticianS travelled on the train, en-
route to Mexico City to confer
with leaders of the national revo-
lutionary party.
Colonel Chazaro had been un-
officially proclaimed the victor in
Sundays primaries, although Of
ficial results have not yet been
made public.

Transit Services Growing
Worse Instead of Better

To the Editor Of The Star.
For the past two years whenever people
began to criticize the transportation sys-
tenn in this city 1 have always tried to
defend it on the grounds that 1t had q
huge problem with q fast-growing pOpu-
lation and that the merging of the two
systems would make it much better.
However. 1 have been forced TO come to
the conclusion that the transit company
is more dividend conscious than service
conscious.
Winter is here and the public is TO be
made to suffer for inef1iciency. 1t Is bad
enough 10 have to wait for 20 to 80 min
utes In good weather for a bus, but to
have to wait in cold rain. Sleet and snow
is detrimental TO the general health of
the community. To make the public
unreaSonably wait in the cold and then
have them cough and Sneeze out germs
in a sufiocatingly packed bus is any
thing but a public service.
According to the press reports. the
transit system Is not paying and will
have to increase its fares. If the trans
portation company is justified in de-
manding more money for its services, "
the public is more than justified in de-
manding q decent amount of service.
If the system cannot give proper Serv-
ice and make money. let it get out and
allow the Government at least to give to
the voteleSs citizens of this community
dependable and more pleaSurable trans
portation. ADRIAN PINSINCE, JR.

turned out, was being used on large
scale to sdulterate olive oil sold in the
grocery stores at the regular price There
Is nothing particularly harmful about
tea seed oil. Perhaps 1t is just as good
as olive oil itSelf-but that doesn't justify
charging the same price for 1t.
AS long ago as 1912 warnings were
issued against the addition of water to
canned tomatoes. A common practice,
1t was found, was to heat the tomato
juice with live steam which resulted in
. water adulteration when it condensed.
During the past season several Gamers
were found who were making a direct
application Of steam to toma toes, result
ing in q material dilution of the tomato
juice with water So far rs known the
practice was not particularly harmful
but customers were buying water at
tomato juice prices. If people want
their tomato juice diluted" says Mr..
Campbell's report, they are quite capable
Of diluting it themselves"
Detection OF adulteration often depends
on very slight clues. For example, the
adulteration of honey with cane sugar
is very dificult to determine, but when
a sample of honey was found to contain
minute amounts Of tartaric acid the
deduction was clear. Pure honey doesn't
contain this acid but little of it is used
in the sugar-making process.

Observations on European
War Making Situations
10 the EDITOR Of THE Star:


Certain students of modern trends
have ventured the opinion that there is
really no possibility of another conflict
OF world proportions because the
means now available for conducting war
fare are potentially so devastating that
no responsible parties would dare to
invoke them. We shall see what we shall
see. Meanwhile, should like to offer
these observations.
There can be no rules for future war
fare because the thing itself is devoid of
reason, and where there Is no sanity
there can be no respect for rules. Mod
ern inventive genius has certainly pro-
vided mankind with the means of ex-
termination, and the question at issue Is
whether it can be trusted with such
powerful weapons Because of these very
means some Of the Savagery the world
has been witnessing recently is unpre-
cedented. Mankind, always expert at
fashioning engines of destruction, has
surpassed itself, and now only awaits the
day when 1t can put them into action.
After ALL what are guns for but to shoot
with? What are bombs for but to devas-
tate? Why an array of machines of war
and a show of military strength by any
nation? The production Of implements
of slaughter is production for use. Peo-
pie everywhere, particularly in warlike
nations. should appreciate that 1t is for
use on one another.
The philosophy Of most of the leader
ship Of Europe today seems to be that
the best way to keep cool is to sit on
keg Of dynamite and fan yourself with
q blowtorch The way to preserve peace
Is to keep sticking your fist In the other
fellows face. It's better to have chips
than level head on your shoulders. And
50 on, ad infinitum. ad nauseam.
The continent of Europe pleads pow
erty, and yet how prodigal 1t Is OF its
resources Of men and materiaa 1t has
70 much to waste, 20 much material and
50 much energy. think the reason for
the economic condition Of Europe Ii
waste, prodisicus waste. unnecessary
waste. unreaaDnable waste.
