Extent off Mexican trade for
merly conducted with Europe's S

MAS business volume is shown by
a breakdown of United Kingdom

greasses; $4,000 apparel and foot
ware; $4,000 compounds; $265, 900
chemicals, and $4,000 electrical

In 1888 the United Kingdom sold
Mexico So per cent of her total i'm

Grim Reminders OF Wars Horrors
Told By Leaflet From Overseas

PHOENIX, Oct. 13-If bucket
of water is thrown on burning in
cendiary bomb, it will explode and
throw burning fragments in all di-
rectiOnS.
That's one of the many pieces of
information which British house
holders have been studying and at
tempting to digest for the past sew
eral months, it was revealed yester-
day by Hugh T. Cuthbert, Phoe-
nix, just back from g. trip to Eng
land and Scotland.
Mr.. Cuthbert brought back with
him the first of a series of leaflets
such as has been distributed to its
citizenry by the British government
periodically since the beginning of
the international crisis.
The leaflet is entitled "Some
Things You Should Know if War
Should Come
Issued in July, the leaflet
said it's object was Ito tell you
now some of the things you
ought to know if you are to be
ready for the emergency of
war"
A'This does not mean that war
is expected now," the message
continued, ''but it is everyone's
duty to prepare for the possibil-
ity of war. Further leaflets will
be sent to you to give you full
er guidance ON particular ways
i'm which you can be prepared.
"The government is taking all
possible measures for the defense
of the country, and have made
plans for protecting you and help
ing you to protect yourselves, so
far as may be, in the event of
war x XXX.
mo one can tell when or how
war might begin, but the period of
warning might be very short.
''There would be no time then
to begin to think what you
ought to do. Read what follows
and think NOW"
With this preface out of the way,
the leaflet then gives specific in
structions on AFRAID warnings,
use of gas masks, lighting restric-
tions, evacuation arrangements and
so on.
Under the heading Fire Precau-
tions,' the leaflet says in part:
''Water is the best means of
putting out fire started by an
incendiary bomb. Have some
buckets handy. But water can
only be applied to the bomb it
self in the form of a fine spray,
for which handpump with
length of hose and special nOz-
zle are needed.
''If you throw bucket of wa
ter on a burning incendiary
/ bomb it will explode and throw
burning fragments in all direc-
tiOns. You may be able to
smother it with sand or dry
earth"
Another typical passage from the
leaflet reads:
'If you propose to make private
arrangements to send your chill
dren away, do not leave them to
the last moment
"All who have work to do
whether manual, clerical or pro-
fessional, should regard it as their
duty to remain at their posts, and
do their part in carrying on the
life of the nation
Here's one of the grim reminders
contained in the leaflet:
I'm war you should carry
about with you your name and
address clearly written. This

odd piece of paper easily lost.
In the case of children, a label
should be fastened, e. g., sewn,
onto their clothes, in such a
way that it would not readily
become detached"
In the event of a national emer-
gency, the leaflet said of food sup
plies, ''the government xr will

rise in prices
