One Result of AbOlishing

Main Street went to the polls Tues
day to select village officials for the
coming term and in most instances the
elections were quiet affairs. Com
ing on the heels of the recent general
election, coupled with the abolish
ing of the caucus system, slight inter-

in a few cases where there were
spirited contests.

Askov did not do much better, hav-

la Marina is one of the busiest
places in all Mexico.
Smart "gobs" pace before its en-
trance. Immaculate officers hurry
down the stairways. There are even
the spic-and-span uniforms of naval
aviators, trained by the army to fly,
though as yet they haven't a single
plane.
What they have is ten new and
three old coast patrol boats similar
to our coast guard cutters, four
somewhat heavier gunboats, two
transports, a couple of heavier ships
now laid up and out of operation,
and some smaller craft.
What they need is few modern
destroyers, a mosquito fleet of tor
pedo boats, and small but good
naval aviation.
Unless the United States helps,
the chance of getting them is small.
For on a budget of 100000 pesos
a year ($4,00O,O00) this navy depart
ment not only runs its ships and
trains it's men, but supervises yards
and docks, and regulates the fish
cries industry and the merchant
marine. The latter is still also large
ly on paper.
The regulation Of fisheries gives
the navy some control over Japanese
fishing boats which, especially along
the Lower California coast near
Ensenada, present the same problem
that they have farther up north.
Such boats are not allowed in Mex

DREAMING
OF DESTROYERS
Plans are under way for establish
ment of marine corps of five bat
talions totaling about 1000 men for
coast and base defense and landing
operations. But that, too, is dream
like the ships to be commanded by
the $50 cadets at the Vera Cruz
naval academy and the $50 mer-
chant marine officers training at
Mazatlan.
Capt. David Coello Ochoa, sec
retary-general Of the marine de-
partment, has the weather-beaten
face and narrow eyes men acquire
from hours on the bridge. He and
his chief of ministry, Roberto Gomez
Maqeo, have ambitious plans for a
really effective coastal navy.
When 1t was suggested that per-
hapS the United States might ar
range transfer to Mexico of a half
dozen destroyers of the type recently
sent to England, Captain Coe1lo's
eyes took on the farway look of a
sailor gazing into some beautiful
sea-mirage, and he whispered,
That's what we dream about"
The Mexican army, on the other
hand, Is the best Mexico ever had.
There are $4,000 officers and men,
and every year sees an increasing
number of officers and well-trained
and equipped troops.
The reluctance of army officers to
be drawn into the recent election
squabble reflects this. It is likely
that two-thirds of the officers in
the army favored Almazan, the can
didate defeated. In former days
many would have rushed to revolu-
ton. But the American spirit Of an
army at the disposal of the ctvf! au-
thority is replacing the old Mexican

Young men hoping to make a
career of the army are slower to
back what may prove to be the
wrong horse, and thus end a promis-
ing life.

six in the Senate assure that the
present army budget of 100000

ed in 1871. This is necessary to plug
gaps in the army equipment, now
weak in transport, anti-aircraft
guns, tanks and airplanes.
Mexico has today only about SO
airworthy planes, and these are of
1880 vintage. The United States has
on hand plenty of planes, obsolecent
for our uses, but suitable for Mex
lean needs, and far better than those
now on hand. A deal for some Of
these has been discussed, but never
conclusively.

The army, $4,000 strong, is better

year as result of a compulsory
military training bill recently adop-
ted. The navy, almost as little Known

Better Baking.
Quality in food is what Am

Quality in food is what Ameri-
cans look for today. Not only
must the ingredients be good, but
they must be combined in the
best way possible for perfect re-
suits. Formerly, just the thought
of baking pies, cakes or breads
would brighten the inexperienced
cook. Today, the most tinid be-
ginner has little difficulty in fol-
lowing recipe directions.
Miss Howe's cookbook Better
Baking" contains such recipes,
simple and easy to understand,
and easy to follow; and the re-
suits will do the young cook
proud.
