MEXICO'S ROAD BUILDERS CONQUER !
HEIGHTS IN OPERATIONS TO LINK
CAPITAL CITY TO TEXAS BORDER

l 1925. Hence motorists today can
follow modern roads southwark
from Canada for 1910 miles.
Many engineering lessons were
learned in the nine years it took
to build the Laredo unit. Bucking
almost straight up-and-down
grades, bridging deep gorges,
fighting. sliding rock and con-
quering all the other obstacles
Mexico's heaving mountains pre-
scented, Luis Cuevas, 30-year-old
chief of the departments section
of roads and highways, sometimes
had to resort to odd methods to
set the job done.
Airplanes surveyed terrain
where usual instruments were
useless; men were slung by ropes
over the sides of mountains to peck
at steep slopes; Indian laborers
who quit their jobs when they
had enough money for the mo-
ment's needs, were cajoled back.
Had To Build 40 Bridges
In all. ITO bridges, costing ST.
100000, had to be built. Some
were cantilever, others suspension
bridges, slung perilously over
yawning ravines.
Earth removed total 6,679,30O
cubic yards; loose rock 3.347,200
and solid rock, blasted out, g.
$4,000.
For the base Of the highway
1,610, 900 cubic yards of ma
terial were needed; 369,500 cubic
yards of paving material and
10,707,000 gallons of asphalt were
put DOWN. 157,8OO cubic yards of
masonry went into culverts and
retaining walls and 10000 lineal
feet of culvert pipe were used.
In the mountains of Hidalgo,
where the road climbs 1900 feet
in rs miles, the cost in some
stretches reached $4,000 a mile.
Despite the fact that road
crosses the continental divide, the
stiffest grade is only 6 per cent.

MAKES EXCELLENT RECORD
AT UNIVERSITY OF FLOR
IDA; RECEIVES HIGH CON-
MENDATION

Curtis III. Stanton, Jr., son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis Stanton, has
been notified OF his gaining the
highest honor at the University of
Florida, that Of being placed on
"The Deans List" His notifica-
ton reads:
"You have made an excellent
record as a freshman in the Uni
versity of Florida. In con-
graduating you may | tell you in
this personal way that we APP
preciate your splendid work. Your
scholastic achievement places you
in the upper 10 per cent of the
entire freshman class"
The notification is signed By
Walter ]. Matherly, acting dean
and was received by Curtis in his
home in Fort Lauderdale, on the
morning of July 7, and at once
forwarded to The Citizen.
Curtis is a native Key Wester,
and would still be a resident had
it not been made necessary for
the family to move to Fort
Lauderdale as his father is an en-
gineer with the F. E. c. R'y. Car
Ferry company, the activities of
which were transferred to Port
Everglades after the hurricane of
September 2, 1885.
He was a graduate in the class
of '35 at Key West High School.
His record shows that he never
missed one day during a period
while going from the first to the
18th grade. 1t is shown that he
has the same record at the univer-
sity.
He was also one of the carrier
boys OF The Citizen last year. but
at this time is majoring in chemi-
cal engineering at the university.
Curtis and his mother are ex-
pected to arrive in Key West
within the next few days for a
visit.

ED ON PENSION SEPTEM-
Der

After AZ years of service, Cap
tain John Peterson, United States

mariner of the old school and
learned the ways of the sea dur

"He is considered by me and all
those with whom he came in con-

and capable construction officers
in the service, and is highly es-

the seventh lighthouse district"
During the Spanish-American

spicuous service and was COM

ton to duty.

MEXICO CITY, July H.
Though the new Mexico City
Laredo ighway has yet to be in
eugurated, Mexico's determined
road-builders already are turning
their eyes northwest to Nogales
and southeast to Suchiate.
A trunk highway to connect
the capital with the states of Som
ora and Cj.iapas and provide
another major link in the propos-
ed Pan-American highway down
throug' the Americas, is next on
the program for the department
of communicating and public
works.
That spectacular piece of engi-
neering-the $17.000.000, 100

which climbs S,O35 feet into the
fog-shrOuded peaks of the Sierra
Madre-was formally dad Gated

high government officials and
members of the diplomatic corps
are expected to drive over the

probably to meet United States
officials.
Third OF Route Ready
After that the communications
and public works department.,
which spent about $3.150,000 on
1,245 miles of Mexican roads in
1885, expects to get busy on the
second trunk highway.
Completion of the Laredo high
way means that nearly a third of
the proposed 12,000-mi'e PAN
American route, from Canada to
Argentina. is ready for automo-
bile travel in all weather.

COMMUNITY FUND
/. CAMP AICN is NOW
WELL UNDER WAY
COMMITTEE HANDLING AT
FAIR REPORTS MUCH Sue
CESS IN EFFORTS TO RAISE
NECESSARY FUNDS

Continuing the drive to raise
the Community Fund in the hope
that with time and continued eff
fort the aims of the local advisory
committee may meet with the
success anticipated members of
the local social welfare commit
tee say they have met with en-
couraging response and from
sources where the least response
was expected.
Mrs. VIM. R. Warren, chairman
OF the local committee, and Rev.
]. C. Gekeler, treasurer, say that
the most liberal and cheerful con-
tributions come from those who
are in very moderate, and in some
instances, poor financial circum-
stances.
This group, apparently, realizes
what it means to be in need and
are, therefore, most willing to
lend hand to others less for
tunate than themselves. Mrs. War
rem stated that in many instances
she was surprised at many re-
fusals because they came from
persons who are known through
out the community as socially
minded and dependable citizens,
and whom it would not inconven-
fence to contribute a moderate
sum regularly.
1t is evident that this group,
say members Of the advisory
board. are still unacquainted with
the activ;tied of The clinic and the
State Board of Social Welfare,
and do not, and therefore can
not. appreciate the services being
rendered by these organizations.
Also, it is pointed out, those
who have refused to contribute
seem to have forgotten that there
Is group of people who will be
facing dire need without some
help. They do not seem to real
ize that this group is in need of
assistance through no fault of
theirs.
Those who will be helped from
community funds are unemploy-
ables who are kept from working
because of mental or physical
disability, or because of advanc-
ed age. However, in view of the
cheerful way in which the FAM
lilies Of lesser income groups have
responded the local advisory COM
mittee is continuing its efforts
to raise a regular monthly contri
button. In spite of the financial
straits of Monroe county the local
committee refuses to believe that
the citizens themselves have lost
their last vestige of independence
and initiative.
The names of those contribut-
ing to the community fund will
be published at some time in the
near future.
Some of the collectors report
they have been unable to contact
people in their homes or places of
business although they have at
tempted three or four times. If
any person who has not been per-
sonally contacted would like to
contribute to the local community
fund they may do so by sending
their contributions to Mrs. VIM.

Many delegates thought Senator.
Barley and Robinson in their
convention addresses adopted
Identical methods of defense
againn! Republican charges that
the Democrats failed to live UP to
their 1892 platform.
The method of defense in both
instances, talk at Philadelphia in.
Dictated, was to launch a counter
attack. Barley quoted a Re.
publican platform charge thai. the
New Deal 'has dishonored our
country by repudiating its most
solemn obligations" Without
denying chat statement at once,
he said:
"On that platform they (the
Republicans) nominated a candi-
date who, three years ago, urged
the payment of public and private
debts in money of the printing
press redeemable in neither silver
or gold.
I'm 1920, 1924, 1928 and 1882
the hollow and hackneyed promise
was made by Republican platforms
and candidates TO restore agri-
culture to economic equality with
industry. The promise was never
fulfilled nor intended for fulfill
ment."
Robinson Joins Chorus
Said Robinson: The Democrats
faithfully complied with the
spirit" of the 1892 platform. But
if there has been a partial fail
ure" in respect to economy and
balancing the budget, that failure
he said, was due to changing con-
ditions and necessities and
ITO the guerrilla warfare of the
Republican army"
Robinson went even one better
He dug out OF the Republican
platform this statement:
"The acceptance of the nomi,
nation rendered by this conven-
ton carries with it as a matter
of private honor and public faith
an undertaking by every candi-
date to be true to the principles
and program herein set forth"

interpreted that as another side

That statement, he said, wa.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4 QN.S0.-A

captured by police early today and
readily confessed the shooting Of

Frost was shot after he had at

Frost their car was out of gasoline

PENNSYLVANIA
ON DEFENSIVE
INC0ALCASE

NEW YORK, Sept. 4 U.N.SO.
An effort to force Pennsylvania
authorities to take action against
so-called coal bootleggerS" was
seen today in the request by AS
sistant District Attorney McDer-
mott for extradition papers for
Frank Wagner.
McDermott, who repeatedly
charged q estate Of anarchy"
exists in the Pennsylvania anthra
cite regions where coal is allegedly
stolen daily from company-owned
mines, claims that no legal steps
were taken to curb the practice
until New York authorities
stepped in.
Wagner, under indictment, is
charged, with Frank Nowosatka,
head of the Shamokin coal lines,
with conspiring to bring into this
city and sell stolen coal.
Petition to Earle
NowoSatka and William SlutSky
of the w. and S. Coal Co., Brook
Ign, are also charged with Grim
inally receiving stolen coal. They
are now awaiting trial and are at
liberty under $4,000 bail.
Wagner, 80, a coal dealer in
Stony Creek Mills, Pa, suburb
of Reading, is being held at the
request of the New York police.
McDermott has already filed
with Governor Lehman a petition
to request Governor George Earle
to consent to the extradition of
Wagner to New York. 1t is felt
that this is an attempt to force
the hand Of Governor Earle who,
heretofore, has been accused OF
ignoring conditions.
Along with the request for ex-
tradition went an affidavit from
Allen Cuth, a driver who is held
as a material witness, stating
that he was hired by Wagner
to transport the coal and deliver
it to customers designated by
NowoSatka.
Affidavit by Detective
The affidavit also alleges that
Guth saw Wagner several times
in the offices of the Shamokin
Coal Lines.
A similar affidavit was sub
mitted by Detective Joseph j.
Reynolds of the safe and loot
squad, who has been carrying on
the investigation with other de-
tectives assigned to McDermott.
It was also announced that
Charles D. Blue, a driver and
operator of several trucks, has
been arrested in Shamokin, Pa.
Blue, according to McDermott,
also is under indictment. No re-
quest has yet been made for his
extradition.
