NEW MEXICAN PRESIDENT

In the dispatches about the inaug-
uration performed December y of
Mexico's new president, Manuel
Avila Camacho, nothing is said of
his mother, who stands upright in
her grave in the state Of Puebla.
Sonora Camacho de Avila, mother
of four sons, was one of the most
colorful and dynamic women in the
history of Mexico. She died only a
year ago, and her last words were
to direct that she should be buried
upright in the ground. 'The Avila
Camachos,' she said, "have always.
stood on their feet
Accordingly, the coffin was put
into the ground in an upright posi-
ton, in the town of Tezuitlan, state
of Puebla.
The people of that state needed
no such graphic action to remem-
Der her. For her sons will not al
low her to be forgotten. One now
becomes president of the country.
Another, Maximino Avila Camacho,
is governor of the state of Puebla,
actually is stronger figure than
the president.
He is the Mussolini of Mexico
powerful, lusty. The owner of 100 full
blooded horses and an amateur bull
fighter, he stages private bull fights
for the amusement of distinguished
visitors.
Chances are that it is this moth
er's son, rather than Manuel who
will run the government of Mexico.

BRITISH SUDDENLY FRANK

What is happening in England to-
day is barrage of truth. Sudden
ly, British censors have passed a
succession of news stories which adj
nit what U. S. military observers
long ago knew, that the damage in
England was terrific, that airplane
production had slowed down, and
that British shipping was in more
desperate predicament than during
some of the dark days of the first
World war.
These facts also have been adj
mitted by responsible cabinet Off
GERS on the floor of parliament. The
sudden frankness means only one
thing the British are telling us that
unless they get even greater help
from the United States, they may
face defeat.
Actually the situation has not
changed materially, except for the
willingness of the British to talk
about it. The odds definitely have
been against the British from the
very minute France surrendered.
But thanks to the Greeks and the
failures of the Italian fleet, British
odds have improved considerably,
though they are not yet $3.50.

Officially inspired French news

But they were so wrong. Inside
fact is that Admiral Leahy is one

and has even urged that a large
part of the American navy be sent
to Singapore in order to keep an
eye on Japan, and serve as a silent

New Type Hose Gets
High Ro+ing in Tests

DERIVED from coal, air, and
II water, and involving intricate
chemical reactions, costly equip
ment and rigid control, nylon, tho
DuPonts' miracle fabric, has reused
universal interest in manufacturina
industries and feminine circles alike
because of its use in hosiery.
For the past year, the Good
Housekeeping Institute has tested
nylon stockings, and in the August
issue of the magazine Bernice
Bronner of the Institute staff re-
ports the findings of the investiga-
tion. Because of their firm texture,
nylons have great lasting quality,
Miss Bronner says. The seams sewn
with nylon thread are narrow, firm
and strong, and reinforcements at
points Of greatest rubbing have
been cut to minimum size, insuring
a good-looking stocking foot in the
popular low-cut shoes.
Miss Bronner writes that women
will appreciate nylon's resistance
to soil and moisture, which makes
laundering an easy and quick task.
Colors are attractive as well as
varied, and the stockings, though
sheer, manage to conceal effectively
such blemishes as freckles and hair.

RIGHT FOOD FOR.
GOOD HEALTH.
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Food habits in the United States
have changed considerably in the
last twenty years. This change is
strikingly illustrated by the in
creased quantity of fresh veg
etables consumed.
The United States Department
of Agriculture has some figures to
support this point. Shipments of
snap beans increased from about
800 cars in 1920, to 10000 in
1880, carrots from 1900 to 10000
cars, spinach from 5000 to 10000,
and tomatoes from $4,000 to 34,
900. Figures comparing 1920 and
1910 would undoubtedly show an
even bigger increase in the amount
of vegetables used.
Improved transportation is one
cause of this increase in the use of
vegetables. Before our modern
trucking and refrigerator cars the
housewife was quite limited in her
choice of fresh vegetables. She
could buy only those which were in
season locally. Now her own groc-
er can offer her a choice gathered
from all over the country.
Vegetables which used to be
used only in a limited section are
now coming into nationwide pop
ularity. Turnip tops, beet tops,
collards, egg plant, kohlrabi, soy
beans, brocolli, brussel sprouts, and
caulif1ower have all come into
more widespread use.
Varieties of vegetables have also
been improved. Long, straight
streamlined carrots with rounded
tops are easier to scrape. Longer
and straighter cucumbers with
round ends yield more slices. To-
matoes are firmer, rounder, and
more meaty. Celery with fewer
strings and stringless green beans
also make things easier for the
housewife.
Increased knowledge of the
health value of fresh vegetables
has also contributed to their recent
rise in favor. Vegetables, particu-
larly green leaves are important
sources of vitamins, calcium, and
iron. The use of more vegetables
would make an even greater i'm
provement in the American diet.

MOBILE BRANCH LIBRARY

DETROIT now has a branch

the Bookmobile, this branch oper-
ates at six points throughout the
city of Detroit, generally from 8
PM to 9 PM, distributing books
to people who do not reside near
one of the regular branch libraries.
Bookmobile is Fruehauf Mer-

with shelves which carry approx
mately 2700 books. The library is
in charge of a branch librarian,
assisted by a children's librarian,
assistant children's librarian, a

Assistant Librarian UIeveling of

crew is hardly enough to handle
the crowds due to the popularity of
the mobile branch. On some of the
scheduled stops, a crowd block
long and three people abreast have
been awaiting its arrival. The De-

larity.

War on Rabies
Is Urged Here

TITLE known is the fact thar
the United States is second
only to Turkey in the prevalence
of rabies. In 90 percent of the cases
reported, Pathologists declare, mad
dogs are directly responsible.
Although complete immunization
against the malady is insured by
Pasteur treatment, stern measures
must be taken if the high rate of
its existence is to be curtailed. Edu-
cation, declares Alberta Williams,
is a sure method with which to start,
and she brings to light the impor-
tant facts about the disease, in the
August Good Housekeeping.
Actual contact, she says, is the
only way rabies can be contracted,
but even lick by rabid animal
on tiny abrasion of the skin is suf-
ficient to start the deadly virus on
its destructive path along the nerves
to the spinal cord and finally the
brain. If an individual is bitten, and
the dog is suspected of rabies, the
animal should be confined immedi-
ately for observation, and the
human wound given local treatment.
If rabies symptoms develop, Pasteur
vaccine should be injected twice
daily for seven days.
England has successfully extin-
guished rabies because in 1897 an
issue was decreed to kill all stray
dogs. Now as then, all dogs brought
into the country are held in six
months quarantine. If the United
States were to pursue similar meth
DDS, Miss Williams says, rabies
could be eliminated completely in
less than year.
