MEXICO CITY SUBURBS

A correspondent who intends
visiting Mexico City shortly has
written asking for a description
of some of the places that can
easily be reached from that lovely
city. It. is nice to know that there
are plenty of beauty spots, all of
which are worth more than just
a casual glance, places that you
wish to return to again and again.
When the traveller has done
Mexico City, including the Zocalo,
Chapultepec castle and the park,
then the trips will start. Nothing
more beautiful can be imagined
than Xochimilco with it's floating
gardens, that really defy descrip-
ton.
Another trip is to the strange
Desert of the Lions, with the mon
astery erected by a group of Car
melite monks early in the sixteen
hundreds. Then there is lunch
high in the mountains in a ma
jestic pine grove. The Pyramids
of Teotihuacan always attract lots
of Sightseers. The drive is delight
full with a visit to the Shrine Of
Guadalupe en- route. The Temple
of Quetzalcoatl is one Of those
amazing relics that tells the mute
but eloquent story Of Mexico'S
mysterious past.
JUNGLE COUNTRY
Now for some of the longer
trips, with the road running
through glorious jungle-like coun-
try with mysterious mountains in
the distance. There is Cuerna-
vaca, an easy days roundtrip
drive. At Cuernavaca, nesting at
the foot Of a towering white vol

Needless to say, when the
Democrats took charge of the
Administration, Mr.. Snyder
stepped aside. But Mr.. Snyder
has by no means given up his
prediction for being a Republ1'
can. At the present he is serving
as treasurer for the local Landon-
Knox Republican Club.
Into Mr.. Snyder's office some
time back walked a man advanced
in years but not so much so that
he still didn't have the Republican
ideals bound in his bosom. He
told Mr.. Snyder that he wanted
to do something for the Repub-
licans. Being a resident of the
District he couldn't vote, but by
gum he wanted to do something
to put Mr.. Landon in the White
House.
Now all party leaders are aStute
when it comes to finding some
thing for enthusiastic followers to
do. There's not a political club in
the United States that won't put
you to work in two minutes if you
appear and offer your services.
Mr.. Snyder, as you will find out
if you approach him, is no eXcep-
ton to the rule. He can find
something for anyone to do. So,
after a rather intimate talk with
the volunteer a plan was worked
out by which this particular in
dividual should raise sun flowers
the emblem of the Landon as
cendancy.
THEY BLOOM
In his little plot of ground he
would plant the seed that would
blossom forth in huge glorified
blooms that could be distributed
among the local gentry to bring
home the fact that a vote for
Governor Landon would expand
into a radiant burst of sun. The
plan took shape. The gentleman
in question planted his seeds. The
flowers bloomed.
All right. Came day last week
when John Hamilton, generals

Wives, to be sure, have always
worked, and husbands have always
expected them to do so. But they
worked in a sphere which did not
challenge the superior male.
Superior, how? No matter how.
He just was. Time was when papa
expected and received First Place
for no weightier reason that that
he could grow whiskers and an
Adams apple. But with woman'S
advent into the industrial world,
this simple argument no longer
Sufficed.
The male no longer looms large
by mere comparison with the
females littleneSS. He now must
make good on his own. And, as
a consequence, he is having

TARGET AND ALIBI
Nor is this attitude confined to
the diggers and delivers. The

And the more efficient and sue
cesSful she is, the more is she On

For Why? For several why's.
First "a Married Woma an
Worker never holds one job, al
ways two or three. She's mother,
housekeeper, mate. social secre-
tary, business confidante and gen.
eral Fixer.
And in each Of these jobs she is
expected, by virtue of her bust
ness training, to surpass a strictly
domestic record.
Other mortalS may loaf on the
Job. The wife next door may

Three Minute Journeys

Icano, you will see roses, oranges
and coffee growing, for earth
near the volcanoes is always so
fertile. There are hotels there,
for many tourists make a long
visit to this little paradise.
At Taxo, you will quite likely
meet famous artists and authors
all visiting this tranquil noun
tain village. It is two hours from
Cuernavaca, through a wonderful
scenic road.
Acupulc is a charming shore
resort, with limpid blue waters
ripping by palm fringed beaches.
Really, it is as fascinating and
beautiful as any resort on the
French or italian Riviera. A r.
hour drive from Mexico City, and
two hours by air.
AN INTERESTING TRIP
If you want to see Mexico as
it was in the olden golden days
of the viceroys, then you must
visit Puebla, riding through a
gorgeous mountain highway. En-
route there is a stop at Cholula,
city of churches, with a church
crowning one of the ancient Aztec
pyramids. The Aztec ruins equal
in mystery and interest anything
that Egypt has to show.
One day further from Puebla
is Oaxaca, with the ruins of Militia
near by, even to this day the won
der and admiration of architects
and engineers.
High in the mountains of Mich
oacan, there is beautiful Lake
Patzcuaro dotted with picturesque
island villages. A little further on
is Uruapan, the sort Of place that
epitomizes all the beauty, all the
scenery that visitors expect Of
Mexico.

the matter of matching our ties,
socks and shirts.
I think Miss Campbell does not
take into account the fact that we
Americans refuse to be stereo-
typed; that we do not care what
kind Of clothes the King of Eng
land or the Hon. Anthony Eden
wears.
We wear what we like and how
we like it. Clothes in Europe are
largely a matter of caste; in the
United States they are a matter
of comfort. 1t used to be that
our women would take anything
that Europe put its approval on.

Fred Astaire are responsible for
the swing.
For the swing, we have popular
music in A time with the accent
on the drums. The dance is what
its name implies and is described
by one of the professors in the
following manner:
"Take two slow steps, as in the
fox trOt. Then swing right leg
from the hip, that is, the man
swings from the right and the
woman from the left. Swing the
leg all the way from the hip.
Then, for variation number one,

INFORMATIVE

Representative Sol Bloom, who
is accredited, facetiously, with
making George Washington safe
for the country, has now turned
his powers to bringing the Con-
stitution to the reckoning Of the
American people.
In an analytical treatise on this
document, to be published soon.
Representative Bloom makes the
following observations:
"The law which controls the
solar system is divine, and
therefore perfect. The law
which controls the American
political system is human, and
therefore imperfect. But under
trial of $50 years it has been
found to approach more nearly
the symmetry of the law that
rules the universe than any
other emanatiOn of the human
mind and will.
"The Constitution binds In
dividualS as we'll as States.
Under it all individuals have
equal duties and rights"
And before 1887 is over you will
know more if not as much about
the Constitution as you learned
about George Washington under
the Bicentennial celebration.

The Iron Guard, a powerful
secret society which is not averse
to assassination of those in high
places, is perhaps the enemy
that LupeScu has most to fear
It's leader, Codreanu, is another
who demands the return OF
Queen Helen so that the country

These forces say that they are
not concerned with the private
life of Carol and Magda. They
say:

what have these matters to do

plays, with the camariIls that
she has about her, and the

The answer Of the adherentS
Of the red-haired Lupescu is that
she does not concern herself with
the affairs of state.
Perhaps she does not. But it Is

that her life must be a danger
