THE HUN AND MEXICO.
The eyes of the commercial world
of Germany are directed toward
Mexico, according to German news
papers of recent date.
With reference to Germany’s
prospective trade with Mexico, the
German Anzeiger, which is devoted
to the chemical industry, says: “In
Munich there was formed in 1918,
a German Mexican society composed
of educated people. The purpose
of this society is to disseminate in
formation about Mexico; lend im-:
petus to the study of Spanish; bring!
about the teaching of the German
language and German kultur in Mex-1
iean schools; induce Mexican sales-1
men to visit Germany, and induce ■
Mexican youths to attend German
universities. In March, 1919, a
similar society was organized in5
Bavaria with a charter membership |
of 200 persons.
“In Renthingen there has been !
incorporated the ‘Almeco,’ founded!
by industrial firms, the purpose of j
the organization being to facilitate
exchange of raw products and other
commodities between the two coun
tries.
“Seventy-five percent of Mexico’s
exports found their way to the
United States, which regards Mexico
as its warehouse. Of course, these
exports will now go to Germany
Our first duty is to secure from
Mexico large imports of raw ma
terials and not regard it as a dump
ing ground for German goods.”
TUBERCULOSIS.
Tuberculosis must be considered
not only as a deadly scourge to be
feared, but also as one of our
greatest economic enemies, declared
Walter S. Ufford, of Washington,
before the annual meeting of the
National Tuberculosis Association at
Atlantic City recently.
“Sickness,” he said, “is the great
est single factor in bringing about
poverty and dependency. Among
the various ills in dependent fami
lies none plays so big a part as
tuberculosis.
“The public must be aroused to
grapple with the problem of tuber
culosis as it now affects our civ
ilian population, on broad lines of
health reconstruction. For this pur
pose departments of health every
where should be charged with the
control of tuberculosis as a con
tagious disease. These departments
should not only be given legal au
thority to cope with the problem,
but should be provided also with the
necessary funds to deal with the
disease in its contagious stages, as
a menace to the family and the
neighborhood.”
In a plea for health insurance,
John A. Lapp, former director of
the Ohio Health Insurance Commis
soin, pointed out that there can be
no solution of the tuberculosis prob
lem among workingmen without it.
“Men cannot stop work long
enough to take treatment,” he said,
“because, as is well known, the
great mass Of workingmen are living
only a few days or a few weeks
from actual want. Some means
must be devised to enable people to
stop work and to receive adequate
medical treatment. There are only!
two possible ways to do it, one,
'through charity; the other, through
, health insurance.”
“The public attitude toward tu
berculosis must be changed,” said
Miss Mary A. Meyers, of Indian
apolis. ‘‘Formerly the masses of
people thought the disease was'
hereditary, and that nothing could !
be done about it.
“Now.” she said, “due to educa-1
tional work, there are few grownups !
or children in the country who do
not know that tuberculosis is a pre
ventable and curable disease.”
HOPE IN BELGIUM.
Henry H. Morgan, American High j
Trade Commissioner in Belgium, has j
established a commercial organiza- j
tion at Brussels to aid in the re- j
construction of Belgian industries, j
He announces that this organiza- j
tion is at the disposal of all mer- j
chants and manufacturers in Bel- J
gium and America.
To an Associated Press corre- i
spondent, Mr. Morgan said that, in!
view of what the Belgians already 1
had accomplished, he did not feel j
discouraged over industrial condi- j
tions in the country. “On the con- j
trarv,” he said, “I feel certain that :
they will carry their reconstruction j
program through to a successful j
conclusion. I notice an intense cul- j
tivation of the soil which will result !
in the next crop being nearly equal j
to pre-war crops.
“Virtually all the glass factories !
in the country now are in opera
tion, and 30 percent of the textile j
looms now are busy spinning raw i
cotton arriving from the -United |
States.
“It is estimated that the loan ol j
500,000,000 francs which American
bankers have agreed to extend to 1
. I
Belgium will go a long way toward
reconstruction. It also will have a
beneficial effect upon the purchase j
price of the franc, which at the
present time is very low. Repay- i
ment of this loan is not to com
mence until 1930. It is only by '
rapidly building her mills that Bel
gium can hope to pay back this loan
in the production of her manufac-1
tured goods.”
Mr. Morgan said it was estimated
that the Germans had carried away
one-third of the Belgian livestock.
Reports of the United States De
partment of Agriculture have ar
rived from America to aid the Bel
gian Ministry of Agriculture in ship
ping breeding stock to Belgium.
“It is my understanding,” added
Mr. Morgan, “that preparations now
are under way for sending a fleet
of 30 vessels, each carrying live
stock.”

MEXICANS HAVE
NOVEL PLAN TO
i INCREASE FUNDS
DOUGLAS, Ariz.—Although “dry”
j by virtue of a proclamation by
[General P. Elias Calles, constitu
tional governor of the state, a num
ber of municipalities of Sonora.
Mexico, have hit upon a plan re
sulting in swelling the public funds.
Special permission is obtained
from the state capital for the sale
of beer for one day or longer, the
proceeds to apply to public debts.
Rcently in Cananea, the largest Am
erican mining camp of the state,
sales of beer have been held for the
benefit of the public school fund,
i there being no money in the dis
trict territory to pav the teachers.
i l
The initial sale was so great a
i success that similar ones have been
held since for the same purpose, as
well as to get funds to repair school-,
houses, mend roads, and perform
other necessary public work for
which nothing could be obtained
from the treasury
The state treasury is as badly de- j
pleted as are the treasuries of the '
various cities. School teachers in j
Hermosillo have not been paid for
three months, according to Ameri
cans arriving here recently. The
same Americans told of a strike or
ganized among the city policemen
as a result of their pay being far
in arrears. The strike was ended
when a portion of the money was
raised by public subscription.

DE LA VERGNE GOOD SPORT;
TRIED TO CONCEAL CASE
One of the most confused men in
Fairbanks when the returning base
ball excursionists marched off the
boat to slow music on Monday was
Dr. de la Vergne, who had rushed
i to the waterfront, fully armed with
a kit of first-aid stuff, in response
to the distress message sent to town
by the baseball jokers.
The doctor knows a joke when he
sees one, but he hated to be caught
red-handed, weighted down as he
was with surgical instruments, band
ages and other paraphernalia. And
the way he tried to get rid of the
things when the fake funeral pro
cession came into view was hugely
enjoyed by the jokers.
Gasoline Manners.
“In the olden days a gentleman
used to call upon a lady with much
formality and stately ceremony.”
“Well?”
“Now he merely drives up and
honks for her to come out.”—Kan

Unfortunate Phrasing.
“I told Henrietta that I was
proud to see her vote just like a
man,” said Mr. Meekton.
“Did that please her?"
“No. The choice of phrase was
unfortunate. She said that if she
couldn't vote better than a man
there would have been no need of
her troubling about the ballot in the
first place.”—Washington Star.
