LONG TIME LEADER Since
1910, when he served as the young
est member of the historic conven-
ton which wrote the states con-
stitution, Thomas J. Mabry has
been leader in New Mexico. A
native of Kentucky, he came to
the territory in 1907. He studied
law at University of New Mexico,
practicing at Albuquerque since
1915. He served as district at
torney, district Judge, state SUI
preme court Judge and chief JUS

Healthful Climate.
The climate is dry and healthful.
New Mexico is a resort for those
afflicted with pulmonary troubles.
Heaviest precipitation is at Carls-
bad with an average of 22.42 inches
a year. Owing to the dryness of
the atmosphere the heat is never
oppressive and the nights are al
ways cool. The average number
OF rainy or stormy days year is
only 40!
Indians, cowboys, Spanish-speak-
ing people, golden sunsets, roman
tic nights, prehistoric ruins, scars
of an older civilization, the rich
opportunities of the present - all
these and more are New Mexico's
attractions to the thousands of peo-
pie who make it a "must" on their
tours. One visit is not enough, so
they come back again and again,
for there is much to see, much to
learn, much to speculate upon-and
many hours in which to dream.

CHANGE FROM MULE TO TRUCK
SYMBOLIZES OUR PROGRESS

CHANGE FROM MULE TO TRUCK
sYMBOLIZES OUR PROGRESS
1t was in the late 1906 that ]
knew Kruger and his one-mule
dray, at keokuk, Iowa. Few, if
any, of such vehicles as that dray
are to be found today. It was but
fiat platform, mounted on two
wheels, with pair of shafts for the
mule. When the motive power was
hltched the platform sloped back
ward at rather acute angle. Ad-
Unstable iron pegs, fitted into holes
IN the timbers of the platform, pre-
vented the load, whatever it might
be, from sliding off the back end.
Merchandise came into Keokuk eli.
Their by railroad or Mississippi river
steamboat. In either case, to reach
the stores of the merchants, it had
to be transported from the waters
edge up the steep Main street hill to
the business section on top of the
bluff. For such Transportation the
merchants were dependent on Krue-
ger and his one-mule dray. To move
a ton OF merchandise meant four
trips up that hill. That was the
maximum of a days work. 1t might
be three, or only two. such trips.
1t was never five, for neither Krue-
ger or the mule would hurry. That
one man, one mule and one dray
set the business pace for Keokuk,
and it was slow.

ports, new irrigation bitches.
New Mexico is new, fast, progress
sive. 1t is land of young men and
brave hearts. 1t is twentieth Gen.
fury America at its best.
New Mexico is old-much older
than the wrinkled Indian squaw
who peddles trinkets at the Santa Fe
station. When the Indians first came
to the Southwest is still a secret
that Psychologists and ethnologists
have been unable to learn.
But at the time William the Con-
queror was invading England, the
Indians were in their golden age Of
pueblo construction, which began in
900 A. D. and flourished for 300
years. Ruins of these immense COM
munity dwellings,, often containing
as many as 1900 rooms, still may
be seen-in New Mexico. Yes, his
tory began in America long before
Columbus was born!
Turbulent History.
The Spaniards first came in 1886,
and in 1910 Coronado ruthlessly con-
quered the Indians, looted their
country, wrote his deeds in blood
The first permanent white settle
ment was made at San Gabriel in
1898 by Juan de Ornate, a gentle
and peaceful man. New Mexico
had its first governor in 1909, and
Santa Fe, the capital, was found
ed in 1910.
Larger and larger grew the vol
ume of history. The Indians were
finally crushed in 1892, and in that
Spanish victory was lost the most
precious records America ever had.
The revolution of 1922 gave Mexico
her freedom from Spain and opened
the gates to commerce with the
United States.
The trail was opened from St.
Louis to far off Santa Fee and
merchandise flowed westward,
the returning wagons well filled
with gold and other valuables.
General Kearny entered Santa
Fee in 1876 and took possession
for the United States.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fee railroad reached the country in
1879 and opened it up to the world.
Development was swift and in 1912
New Mexico became a state.
New Mexico is one of the Rocky
Mountain states, and that which is
not mountainous is a lofty plateau,

GASOLINE POWER COMES

left Keokuk in the spring of 1890,
ana 1t was not until 1912 that I was
back for few days. Then looked
up krueger. Years and events had
changed him from a genial man of
middle age to bitter old man. His
mule and dray were gone. A truck.
propelled by a gasoline engine, had
replaced it. The truck moved more
IN one load than the mule and dray
had moved in four, and did it in
less time than it had taken Kruger
! to do one fourth of days job. But
the old drayman was not at all in
sympathy with the "new-fangled
contrlvance that prevented an hon.
est man from making an honest
living"
The world was moving while
Kruger had been standing still.
"A quickened pace was needed
II keokuk was to survive. The
truck-a "new-fangled cOntriv-
ance'-had provided the need
ed speed. True, it had de-
prived Kruger and his mule of
their job. but it had provided
many new jobs. 1t had made
the handling of more merchan-
disc possible, and that called for
employment of more store
clerks. 1t meant more bust
ness for the railroads, more pro-
duction in factories, with re-
ductiOn in the needed hours of
labor for all.
That truck represented progress,
and Kruger and his mule could not
stand in the way of progress. 1t is
but one of many thousands of SINH
, lar instances which mark the ad-
vance of America while most of the
rest of the world has stood still for
century and more. The COMPETE
, tive free enterprise system, backed
/ by that American spirit such a sys-
tenn has encouraged, is what makes
of US great, the greatest, nation
in the world today.
RUSSIA PREPARES FOR WAR
! The day may come when we will
! have to fight Russia if we are to
I maintain our American way of life.
When that day does come it will be
neither a land Or sea war. 1t will
! be air. Russia is stalling for time
/ in which to construct an air force
of character and strength with
/ which to attack us and defend her
self. She has the resources for such
job, and with the help of German
scientists she now has the know
/ how to make such preparation
within comparatively few years.
We could defeat Russia now, and
wreck the Soviet system. What
we can do 10 or 20 years from now
is questionable. Shall we continue
to give Russia the time she seeks
in which to prepare, SO she can car
ry war to our shores?
INSTEAD of military training,
call it a citizenship training law;
show where the money to pay for
such training will come from, and
the public will take to it more kind
ly. Regardless of the name or pur-
pose such law would provide those
things most essential in training a
citizen soldier: discipline, and the
individuals ability to take care of
himself. Its greatest citizenship
value would be the breaking down
of growing class distinctions.

lion dollars to find out if our govern
ment employees are loyal to those
they are working for, the American

stances, no. With Monroe at his
age, Carol at hers, and your mar
riage at this point, this friendship
is not platonic.
This is not to say that matters
have proceeded to the point tech
nically known as infdelity More
likely Carol is happy to play it
along safely, having all the fun of
mans admiration and attention
and companionship, but not sacr-
ficing anything that would make
her feel guilty of disloyalty to you.
1t is a fond illusion, with women of
her type, that everything short of
actual surrender to a love affair is
fair play. She. is holding Monroe all
the tighter by her refusal to enter
into serious relationship with the
husband of her friend He probably
deeply admires her strength of
character and purity of motive. But
in truth she is as low as any other
woman who comes deliberately be-
tween a man and his wife and
throws dust in his eyes while doing
so.
My advice to you is to wake up
and realize that this is disloyalty,
sugared over with the claim of
being merely an intellectual and
honest friendship. Such thing
rarely exists between a man and
woman, even when both are en-
tirely free to marry; it certainly
does not exist here.
You will win, in the end, if you
can rise above all this. Keep busy,
have as little to do with these high
minded friends as you can; don't
discuss it with Monroe and don't
see Carol at all. Ask her quietly
not to telephone, don't argue, don't
make scenes, just let them both
know that you are perfectly aware
of the fun they are having at your
expense. The shock to Carol may
stop the affair right there; Monroe
will be shocked, too. But whether it
takes only days or takes months,
that's the way to end it, and the
only way. Don't forget prayer.

COMETIMES husband does
-, something that makes his
~ wife wild, without giving
her the satisfaction of either
ignoring the matter or changing
the situation. Such a husband,
evidently, is Monroe White,
whose wife, Edda, writes me
from Buffalo.
Monroe has dear woman
friend, that's the gist of the mat
ter" writes Edda. "That sounds in
nocent enough, doesn't it? Nothing
sinister, everything happily open
and above board, but there it is.
Carol is everything he needs in gay,
sophisticated companionship; he
sees her every day. Or if he misses
seeing her for day or two he gets
restless; last summer Carol went
into the mountains for month and
three times in that month Monroe
or another. Once he took me, and
you may imagine what a lovely
time I had.
'This Carol is about 30, am 80.
Monroe is 80, and we have been
married Is years. We have two
daughters, Phyllis, II, and Mary
ann, 9. Monroe is cheerful, easily
pleased man, not fussy about
meals, very popular in business
and club circles. He has always
been a model husband as far as I
know and a conscientious father.
When my mother was with US, a
long pull with three years of help
lessness and illness, Monroe was
generosity itself. think it was at
that time that I began to hear a
good deal of Monroe's dear old
friend, Carol, widowed, and back in
town. Carol often came to supper
in those days, and squabbled with
Monroe over dominoes and cross
words. Absorbed in my mothers
tragedy, l was delighted at this new
friends congeniality with my hus-
band; it relieved the strain for me.
Unconcealed, Unashamed.
at went on. Nothing to conceal,
evidently, nothing of which to be
ashamed. Carol telephones me
every day or two to say that she
saw a hat downtown that would be
ideal for me, or that she is sending
the girls books. Monroe says quite
casually, I'll not be home for din
ner, Carol is crazy to see that show
and I'm taking her. Or he says
The Masons have asked Carol and
me up for the weekend. I told them
we had measles at home and they
said it was OK. for you to beg off,
sometimes he says that Carol is
the most intellectual woman he
ever knew. If I say that she is not
particularly pretty or has rather
heavy figure, he says with amused
authority that men find her per-
fectly fascinating. Once or twice he
has said to his friends that he has
a sensible wife; that Edda never
makes any fuss about his platonic
friendships with other women. He
puts it in the plural. I put it in the
singular.
II am good-looking, I dress well,
nothing sensational but quite up to
the mark. What's the matter with
me that my husband is perfectly
content to let me cook, finish the
ironing, keep house, entertain his
friends, drag him off for an occa-
sional dinner-but that for compan-
ionship and glamor he goes else
i where" And the letter finishes
desperately: "Can a man and a
woman have a platonic friendship,
anyway"
She Thinks It's Fair Play.
