engines comba+ed the fire with wa
ter extracted directly from the riv-

the flames, turned into veritable
rivers of fire which impeded the
fireman's work.

LEAD AND zinc INDUSTRY
ASSAlLED ON TARIFF issue

NEW YORK (UP)- FORBES"
a trade magazine accused the
U. S. lead and zinc mining indus
try of over producing and then
asking for customs tariffs protec-
ton.
The article cites phrases of Ro-
bert Kening, President of the &C.
rro de PaSco Corporation, in the
sense that the lead and zinc boys
are a group of cry-babies."
Forbes says that the large lead
and zine producers of the U. S.,
who now request strong customs
tariffs protection against the
importation of lead and zinc min
eral from Canada, Mexico, and Pc
ri, have, for many years, worried
the economists of Wall Street by
their constant investments in the
development of mines and new re-
fineries even though there was a
constant over production.
In contrast, says Forbes, one
company - National Lead - be-
gan, over so years ago, to extricate
themselves from the mines and re-
fineries and to concentrate their ac-
tivities in the manufacture OF lead
and zinc products, buying their
minerals and concentrates from
the world market. National Lead,
headed by Joseph L. Martina, also
manufactures paints, titanian, and
chemical materials.
On the other hand, says the mag
azine, the other large U. S. lead
and zinc companies have disapat-
ed their capitals in increasing pro-
duction, and have lost their mar
kets by trying to maintain high
prices. 1t says that the only RENE
dy that these companies then want
to accept is that of asking the U. S.
government to take steps to give
them customs tariffs protection.

By ANTONIO RUIZ

MEXICO - Baja California, or
Lower California, is a 800 mile
peninsula directly below the State
OF California, U. S.A. 1t is the nor
thernmost part of the Republic of
Mexico, has a coastline of 1850
miles, is 1877 miles wide at its wild
est part, and looks like a finger
lutting out into the Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific bounds it at the west
and south; the Gulf of California,
also called "Sea of Cortes" or
"Vermillion Sea-" for the bright
red sunsets reflected in its waters,
on the east. The Colorado River
runs along a short section of the
northeastern boundary, below Yu-
ma, Arizona, and flows into the
Gulf of California.
Baja California is divided into
two parts: the north is a State and
uses Pacific Standard time; the
south is a'Territory and follows
Central Standard time. The line
of division is about in the middle
of the peninsula. At the very
southern part of the territory is
the line of the Tropic of Cancer.
The northern part of Baja Cali
fornia was admitted not long ago
to the United States of Mexico.
The capital of this comparative
ly new state is Ensenada, IS miles
below Tijuana, on the internation-
al border. This is a magnificent CT
ty, overlooking Todos los Santos
Bay. There is an active fishing in
dustry in the city, as well as many
other industries. Ensenada has all
the modern conveniences, combin-
ed with a charming old world at
mosphere. 1t is an ideal vacation
spot, because of its beautiful bea-
ches and fishing possibilities.
There r many enchanting spots
in the neighborhood of Ensenada,
easily reached by car over very
good roads. Among these are ma
ny picturesque and healthful min
eral springs.
Mexicali, located in the north
east of Baja California, is the Sc,
cond most important city in the
north. Its name was compounded
from Mexico and California. 1t is
on the border with the United
States, across from Calexico, whose
name was compounded from Cali
fornia and Mexico. The gigantic
Mexicali Valley is part of the Co
dorado River delta, and of the great
Salton Sink. This is a great cot
ton-growing region. Mexicali is a
modern city, with hospitals, thetres
smart shops, good hotels, etc.
Tijuana is a border city, much
visited by Americans. 1t is mainly
a commercial center but offers ma
nv attractions, such as bullfights,
jai alai, and excellent night clubs.
1t has very good stores, hotels and
restaurants. About three miles out
side of Tijuana is Aqua Caliente,
which is the real attraction in the
northwest corner of Mexico. 1t is a
mineral springs resort, with fine
hotels, race track, golf club, all
sports and conveniences.
Hot Springs is another mineral
baths resort, a few miles from Tt
juana. The water is excellent for
the skin. Jacumba, between Tijua-
ma and Mexicali, on a good high
way, is also famous for its medicin-
al waters, as are Cerro Blanco,
San Borja and Rocky Point. other
towns with mineral springs are
Punta Banda, in the outskirts of
Ensenada, La Grulla, in the Mu.
nicipality of Ensenada, Vale de la
Trinidad, "a miles, and Las Huer-
tas, 80 miles south of Ensenada;

The Rev. w. L. Wolf Of

we do not want to ignore the
