for the revindication of Mexico.
The years of struggle and adver-
sity he has met have only increased
his faith in the definite triumph
of his ideals.
He combines with the clarity and
firmness of his convictions sense
of probity, an irreproachable IN
tegrity that are not easily over
whelmed. His political and military
career have followed straight line.
The fact he is not wealthy testifies
as to his honesty.
General Camacho is man of
strong and dynamic personality,
based on the rare merit that makes
men in public life respectable
namely, demonstration of his ca
pabilities by deed rather than word.
And with that some modesty, he
continues in the struggle for the
new Mexico. No contemporary Mex
lean has labored with more en-
thuSiasm, with greater sincerity in
either thought or action, for the
crystallization of his ideals-estab-
lishment of humanitarianism and
just standards and development of
a more abundant national life.
His attitude on various important
domestic and international matters
can best be expressed by short ex-
cerpts from his public utterances:
Foreign capital: Inside the
norms of an organization devoted
to the strict compliance of the law
We can offer stimulus and guaran-
tees, attractive enough to construc-
tive foreign capital, to come and
cooperate in the enthusiastic eager
ness to foment regime of abun-
dance in our country"
International matters: II consid-
er that in world politics there is
no surer orientation we can follow
than that offered to us by the
American continental solidarity
The nations of this continent ought
to feel day by day more bound by
a common destiny, if we do not
wish to expose ourselves singly to
the alternatives that we are unhap-
PLY offered by the stagings of the
actual wars. With the Latin Ameri-
can nations we are benefited by
sentimental ties of traditions and
history, that we ought to strengthen
by material development of ever
growing interchange.
But our aims are pan-American.
Our neighborliness with the United
States claims from both govern
ments the constant intensification
Of a policy of frank collaboration

Don't Blame Wife
For Tired Feeling,
Says Specialist

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. Fl.
(UPl-Don't blame that tired feel
ing on your wife or your job because
about nine times out OF 10, they
aren't responsible.
DR.. Walter c. Alvarez, nerve spe-
cialist at the Mayo clinic at Roch-
ester, Mimi, said today that usual
ly the man who blamed his fatigue
on his wife or his boss had nothing
wrong except that he was travelling
at too fast gait for his own good.
Such men, Alvarez said, would find
life much more pleasant if they'd
stop long enough to let life catch
up with them.
Alvarez said that if his patient
is young girl, his first question
is:
WAS there a broken engage
ment?"
A lot of nerve patients, he said,
can be cured if they are given an
allowance of $3.50 a month.
Alvarez said he made it a rule
to turn off his mind at $50 pm.
That way he can relax and prepare
for sleep. If he has to work he
may have to take pill to help him
get to sleep.
Il believe in pills, he said. But
of course it is dangerous for the
layman to fool around with Sleep
ing tablets he doesn't understand. j"
The radio, the doctor said. lis
playing hell with the nerves" The
trouble is not particularly the war
news or even the jitterbug music,
but just that the radio is there
making lot of noise, keeping the
mind going little faster than it
otherwise would go.

NOGALES. Sonora, Mex, Nov. 81.
(UP)-On December /, General
Manuel Avila CamaCho becomes
president of Mexico.
He enters into the political life
of the Republic at perhaps one OF
the most critical points in its his
tory. He will face the task of meet
ing one of the largest budgets on
record. He will have the delicate
task of moulding foreign policy
that will assert Mexico's neutrality.
But, above, all, he will be entrusted
with the task of continuing the
economic revolution started six
years ago by President Lazaro Car
denaS.
Yet there can be no doubt that
Gen. Camacho is well-qualified for
this all-important position, for he
is already, at the age of As, veter-

WARNING ISSUED
TO REPUBLICANS
They Are Making Attempt
to Violate Hatch Clean
Politics Act

Washington, Aug. 6.-CUP)-Sen
Carl A. Hatch, D., N. NJ, accused the
Republican party of violating the
spirit of the Hatch clean politics act
by purportedly attempting to escape
its limitation on individual party
gifts to $1,000 per person.
Hatch, author of the statute, said
the G.. o. P. General Counsel Henry
P. Fletcher sought to pave the way
for violations of the law by holding
that its provisions do not embrace
contributions made to a state or
local committee or other local Or
ganization." Fletcher proposed that
individual campaign contributions
be subdivided among such groups.
Under Fletcher's Interpretation OF
the law, Hatch commended, the SIS 1000
ceiling on individual donations anG.
So 900, 900 limitation on funds which
can be expended by political organi-
cations could be circumvented.
Attorney General Robert H. Jack
son last night warned the Republi-
can party that F1etcher's interpre-
tation of the law would not be &C
cepted by the justice department.
He likewise contended that the in

RULING GIVEN ON
DEATH OF YOUTH
Statute Provides Funeral
Expenses for Holmes Boy
Killed By Lightning

Two findings and awards have
been made recently by Comsr. Lynch
one in the case Of James G. Beeny
of Cornwall Bridge VS.. Osborne and
Barnes Co., of Danbury, and the
other in regard to the death Of
George Holmes, Jr., of this city, who
was killed July II by lightning while
employed by the city's park depart
ment.
In the former case, Beeny was in
jured on April 30, 1884 while work.
ing in construction gang on the
Kent-Warren highway, when a
small silver of steel penetrated the
tip of his index finger while he was
trying to remove a drill from a rod.
The piece of steel was removed by
a doctor, using a local anaesthetic,
and Beeny did not miss any time
from his work. But the following
winter the tip Of his finger turned
white and became callous, and a
diagnosis of neuro-vascular trouble
was made, necessitating a stay Of
26 days at the Neurological Institute
at New York. Reflex paralysis and
atrophy followed. Beeny filed a
claim for compensation on Oct. s,
1887.
The finding of the commissioner
was that this trouble was the result
of an accidental injury arising from
his employment, but that it could
not be called an occupational dis
ease. Since the claim to compensa-
ton was not filed within a year, the
commissioner dismissed the case for
want of Jurisdiction.
In the Holmes case, the commits
sioner ruled that the only compen-
sation due is the statutory provision
for the funeral expenses since there
were no dependents. He ordered
that the city pay 5000 to the Bergin
funeral home, to cover the ex-
penSeS.
