Mexico Cables Azand

MEXICO, D. F., Oct. 15.-The
Mexican chamber of deputies
passed a resolution of sympathy
with the Spanish government and
drafted a message to be sent to
Madrid.
A difficulty occurred, however,
when one legislator asked to
whom it should be addressed.
That was overcome when the fol-
lowing was agreed upon:

Administration for a low-cost hous-
ing project.
Operated 20 Years
The slaughter house has been
on the site for more than 20 years.
The Goble property is adjoined by
another abattoir which also has
been in operation for many years.
Before Secretary IckeS made his
protest the District Building De-
partment granted the Goble con-
Germ the permit for foundations
of the proposed new plant. A num-
ber of old buildings on the Goble
property already have been raZed
and the foundations are nearing
completion.
After the protests were made,
the District Commissioners took
the case out of the hands Of the
District Building Department and
began giving it special treatment.
Health Officer George C. Ruh-
land has been called upon to
decide whether the proposed new
plduG WOulQ create nuisance,
which would be grounds for
rejecting the permit. Two usual
factors dealing with a nuisance
in the operation of abattoirs are
rendering and the keeping of
animals in open pens.
Other Issues Raised
Engineer Commissioner Dan I.
Sultan said that he was informed
the Goble concern was not plan
ming to do any rendering.
Colonel Sultan said that even
though the permit cleared the
Health Department, requirements
for sewage also would have to
be met before the permit would
be issued.
Beside the Health Department,
the Commissioners also have called
upon the Corporation CounSeIs
office, the Sewer Department and
the Police Department for reports
on whether the permit should be
issued

STORM MUSIC

For some extraordinary reason my
senses were now as lively as they had
been lately dull. 1 knew no hesita-
ton; my confidence was sublime.
1--WE back" 1 said quietly. "What a
mercy we hadn't got further AS 1t
Is, we've plenty of time. They can't
do a mile a minute along this lane"
"But, John"
patted her blessed hand.
"Don't worry, my dear. It's all right.
Little Arthur has got an idea," and,
with that 1 put out my headlights and
started to take the Rolls back by the
glow which her tail-lamp threw.
Two minutes later backed her over
the bridge.
"Can you see their headlights?"
asked.
"Not yet"
began to swing around to the right,
leaving the roadway and backing onto
the turf. When 1 had gone thirty PAGES,
l threw out the clutch.
At once we heard the Carlotta and
a moment later we saw the glow of her
lights.
The two Of us sat in silence, listen
ing and watching, while Pharaoh "came
down like the wolf on the fold"
I do not think we were excited
the danger was past. We now were sim
| ply waiting for a car to get out OF
| our way.
And so she did.
Well clear of the beam of her head
lights, we watched her sweep down
the slope and over the bridge; and as
she went by to the apron, let the
| Rolls leap forward and take her place
on the road.
My lights were dimmed and do not
think that they saw us, for their eyes,
of course, were looking the opposite
way; but in any event the start which
we had was deadly, for they must turn
the Carlotta and we had the faster
car.
AS we foated in silence, touched
my companions sleeve.
"And now where?" said I.
"Well go to my nurse at Pommers.
Her husbands a farmer there, and
they'll see US through. And we'll wire
to your cousin to join US and start
from there"
We had the ways all to ourselves,
and, indeed, 1 believe that we were
the only beings awake in that country
side. Twice we sang through village
and now and again we could make
out the form of a homestead beneath
the trees. So for some 35 miles.
Then the engine of the Rolls coughed
twice, and the car slowed down.
AS l frowned, the truth came pelt-
ing-to scar my brain.
"What is it, John? What Is it?"
"Petrol," l said hoarsely. II meant
to fill up before we patrolled this eve.
