Mexican Immigration Rules
■ / Mexican immigration officials have ordered that
ftll persons crossing into that coui ry at Brownsville
have passports. Citizens of Brownsville can secure
courtesy cards good for one year. Tourists must visit
the office of the consul each time they desire to en
ter Mexico and secure a passport.
At Rio Rica, south of Mercedes, much the same
regulations are in effect. Also at Roma and Laredo,
j Zapata and Reynosa ports of entry seem to be un
affected.
This is along the border in Texas. Out in Lower
California, Gov. Rodriguez of that Mexican province
has ordered that all ports of entry be closed from 6
p. m. to 6 a. m. each day, even stopping trains. A
postponement of 60 days from July 1 has been ob
tained in this order, but Governor Rodriguez seems
quite firm in his Intention to eventually enforce it,
to the very hinderance to rail communication be
tween the two countries, to say nothing of the incon
' venience to citizens who reside on either side of the
border.
There may be several reasons for this present epi
demic of restrictions on free communication between
the two countries and there probably are.
But it is certain that the attitude for the United
States government toward Mexican immigrants in the
past several months has played an Important part in
the agitation. The strict regulations promulgated by
the Mexican chiefs may not be reprisals, but they
serve that purpose.
On July 1 a law went into effect making it a fel
ony to enter the United States illegally, requiring that
any “wet back” be sentenced to serve a term in prison
before being deported. In the past It was considered
punishment enough for the person entering illegally
to be returned to his own side of the river.
Since the first of the year the border patrol has
been able, on account of a more liberal appropriation
and an enlarged personnel, to more strictly enforce
, the law and the number of deportations have shown
a remarkable increase.
Then there is the Box bill in the offing. Those
in touch with congressional sentiment say the bill
will be enacted and will become law at the next reg
ular term of the law-making body of the United
States.
And while all of these bars to friendly relations
between the United States and Mexico are being
I erected the gates remain vide open along the north
ern boundary of our country.
If the quota provision is to be applied to European
nations and to Mexicans then why not to the de
scendants of these European nations now living on
this continent?
Mellon on the War Path
Secretary Andrew W. Mellon is on the war path.
Re said that the published report that the treasury
was considering erecting a seven-foot barb wire fence
along the Canadian border to stop rum runners was
an outrageous falsehood as well as a senseless inven
tion.
Assistant Secretary Seymour Lowman was re
. sponsible for the story. That is, he told a newspaper
man that dry members of congress had “brought up
the subject months ago.” Uncle Andy is the head of
the treasury department. He does the official speak
ing for his department. If necessary, he mows down
his assistants and their interviews, which is as it
should be. A cabinet officer should be the voice of
his department. He is responsible for his depart
ment. Now why should a little understrapper do the
talking for the big voice or the head of any depart
ment of government?
ri Billion Dollar Utility
' Corporation
Wall street hints at the merger of the public utili
ty interest of the Insuls of Chicago and the North
American company. They say that the union would
create a billion dollar corporation with combined net
income of more than $125,000,000. Wall street an
nounced the formation of the South State Utilities
company to take over telephone and gas properties
in Louisiana, Mississippi. Alabama and Georgia. This
appears to be the age of big business as well as a big
business civilization.
What Sugar Will Cost a Consumer
A noted expert authority for an American con
trolled refinery in Cuba has warned the American
public that the house differential on refined sugar
Would cost American consumers between $350,000,000

there will bf a nation-wide organization of American

RADIOS AND COWS
Dairy cows like radio programs. There is nothing
better than a good rousing ginger ale, baking soda,
automobile, canned soup or salad oil hour to make
them contented. Western dairymen have been exper
imenting with radios in the cowsheds and they re
port that the bo vines seem happy, calm and more ef
ficient when being sprayed with tenor solos, jazz mel
odies, bedtime stories, et cetera.
The cows no longer have to be driven home by a
shepherd dog. They come in when they hear “Heigh
ho, Everybody, Heigh-ho!” “You Wouldn’t Fool Me,
Would You?” or “Button Up Your Overcoat.”
If the milk doesn’t taste right these days, don’t
blame the cow it may be static.
Extensive tests are now being conducted from
coast to coast by nearly every fanner with one or
more cows. “Tune in on your favorite station and
get more milk!” is becoming a broadcasting slogan.
“You’re the Cream in My Coffee” has produced the
best results to date, according to returns from 26
states, with 187 cowbams missing.
There is only one number the dairy farmers won’t
allow played to the cows under any circumstances.
That’s “Hold Everything.”
Elmer Twitchell is among those experimenting.
He is always trying new stunts with his radio set,
and when he read about this he immediately went
out and bought himself a cow. He says the radio has
worked wonders with her. “The cow,” says Elmer,
“has taste. She likes classical stuff. I got three
quarts more milk than her schedule calls for the other
evening by tuning in on the Goldman band playing
Rachmaninoff’s prelude. She likes Chopin and Mo
zart, too.
“She don't mind mammy songs and will even
listen contentedly to beauty talks, Rotary club
speeches and the baseball scores, but she rebels at
radio setting up exercises, international Kiwanis mes
sages, the stock market prices and talks on dog
breeding. *
“Toscanini is one of her favorites and she will
come galloping out of a brook any time to hear some
thing by Tschaikowsky. The only time I ever knew
her to rebel at any radio number was night before
last, when a quartet sang ‘The Old Oaken Bucket.’
She’s a good cow and gives honest milk.”
Mr. Twitchell is thinking of swapping the cow for
a bull. He wants to determine how it will react to the
Toreador song.

WASHINGTON, July 8.—For $10 a month you can
have a Washington mailing address.
In one of the out of way office buildings here may
be found a man wrho is making big money with this
idea. He makes a regular business of providing
Washington mailing addresses for people or com
panies that are located elsewhere.
Often his clients send him huge packages of let
ters by parcel post. He remails them here so that
they will bear a Washington postmark.
People who are selling something by mail or solic
iting subscriptions think it helps to have their letters
bear a postmark of the national capital. At the pres
ent this man is handling the mail of some 50 people.
His charge is $10 a month.
All of which, according to postal authorities, is
strictly legal.

CHEW GUM
The associate professor of English at George
Washington university has been chosen to teach the
ways of Americans to a 10-year old Siamese prince.
The prince is a nephew of the king of Siam. He
was sent to Washington in charge of the Siamese
minister to this country to learn to speak English.
The minister turned him over to Mr. and Mrs. Rob
ert W. Bolwell.
Prof. Bolwell says the young prince is acquiring
American ways rapidly. The other day he was in
vited to a birthday party to be given for another little
Siamese boy. Six or eight of his fellow countrymen
were present.
The prince wanted to take a birthday present to
his host. Prof. Bolwell gave him a dollar to make the
purchase. After the party has was asked what he
bought.
“Chew gum,” replied the prince. “Whole dollar
worth. Boys all like.”
Subsequent inquiry revealed that 30 packages of
gum had been bought, at the bargain rate of three
for a dijne, and that the guests had chewed gum all
the afternoon.
“Chfew gum is the best thing in America,” explain
ed the prince when he was asked why he chose such
a gift.
He also said the other boys concurred in his opin
ion. They were especially fond of it because they had
never seen or heard of chewing gum in Siam.

READ THIS FIRST:
Vivian Matthews, shy and unhap
py because she was a doorstep baby,
is called a “flat tire” by the young
er set of Bender. She marries Kent
worth Hillman Johns III, with the
understanding that in a year she
will get $100,000 and a divorce in
Paris. She loves him secretly, and
marries to help him get the fortune
left by his grandfather. Aurelia
“Dovie”’ Jansen, who jilted Kent
to marry the Count Von Popper in
Paris, returns and lays her plans
to win Kent again. There is a
cyclone, and when both homes are
taken and Vivian’s maid is wound
ed, Vivian flies through the storm
for doctors, and becomes a hero
ine, saving a score of lives. The
refugees are in the little Matthews
cottage, willed to Vivian by her old
guardian. Dovie and her mamma
return to Paris to get "out of the
mess” and to keep out of work. Kent
receives the crowning blow.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
* * *
CHAPTER XL
Kent was like a man whose death
sentence had just been pronounced
when he received the wire from his
brokers in New York that spelled
his financial doom.
. The wolves of Wall street had, in
one hour, swept the great Johns for
tune to the four winds. He was
penniless. At first he had almost
laughed. It must be a joke. But,
no—it was real—ghastly real.
Every cent he had realized from
his garndfather had gone into the
sure-fire stock that was to treble
his million. And it was gone. Gone,
like so much snow, melted away in
the sunlight.
He had answered the door bell,
himself, and taken the fatal wire
that in 10 short words told the
story. Vivian coming down the
stairs saw him tsanding in the hall,
white with a sickly whiteness, and
ran to him.
“Kent, what is it—what has hap
pened-”
Automatically she took the wire
from his hand and read it. He
stood so still, that she shook him
roughly. He shivered, and he looked
at her, half crazed. She stood un
certainly, holding the wire in cold
hands.
“You—know—what that means.”
“Is everything gone?” she asked,
stunned, looking into his face. You
put everything you had in the
world into it?”
“Everything.” He said it mechan
ically.
He let Vivian lead him into the
living room and sit him down on
the couch, scarcely seeming to no
tice what she was doing. When he
laid his head into her lap she
thought for a moment he was going
to cry—and hoped he would.
She put her hand on his curls.
Poor kid! Poor, silly boy. He never
had known what it was to be with
out money—and he had thought he
was going to be clever to play with
it and make his stack of gold grow
higher and higher. Like a little boy,
piling up his sand pile.
Vivian suddenly felt tender and
maternal. Years and yearv older
than he was. She lifted his head
and tried to smile.
“What does it matter, Kent?
Maybe it is for the best. You are
young and strong—you can build a
fortune up again If you try. The
insurance will put you up in busi
ness again.”
He was listening to her—vacant
ly. She was almost frightened with
the way he grabbed her by her
arms and looked into her face. He
seemed to speak.
Then—“Oh, my God,” he said,
weakly, staring at her madly. “I
owe you $95,000.”
So he did! Vivian hadn’t thought
of that. Suddenly she wanted to
laugh. But she knew she must not.
It was ghastly humor. But it struck
her funny. She pulled his head to
her breast and held him close to
her.
“Why, Kent! You don’t think
that makes any difference to me.
You’ll have it come day. I have
my cottage and enough to live for a
while. I’ll be very comfortable.”
He raised his head and looked
searchingly into her white, sympa
thetic face.
“You’re too good to live on this
earth, Viv. You are free now, of
course—our contract is automatical
ly voided.”
She wanted to cry out then. But
her voice was calm when she an
swered him—and determined.
“Indeed it is not! A lot can hap
pen in twTo months and a half. I’m
going to stick to my end of the
bargain. We didn’t bargain for cy
clones and Wall street smash-ups,
and we got them. Who knows but
what something equally as nice may
happen? You may get some of your
money back.
He sat up, then, a little more
master of himself, and ran his hand
through his hair.
“No, I’m afraid nothing can hap
pen. I'll—why, Vivian, what shall
I do? I can’t stay here—bothering
you. I'd be a burden.”
She held out her hands, implor
ingly.
“Oh, Kent. Don’t be like that
Please let me fill my end of the
bargain. Stay here—and see about
your insurance and rebuilding your
business—and forget your obliga
tions to me. You make me feel so
small and mercenary and mean
when you think that makes any dif
ference to me.”
He shook his head at her—not
comprehending her bigness, and a
moment later had made up his
mind. He held out his hand:
“I’ll make it up to you, so help
me, God. I’ll work and pay every
cent I owe you. You lovely angel
from heaven!”
They sat planning for a while,
and a great, sweet relief poured
through Vivian’s heart. Why, he
was actually reduced to her level.
He was, in fact, worse off than she
was. Kent Johns, the scion of the
Johns family, was dependent on
her—poor, little, homeless Vivian
Matthews—for the very roof over
his head.
It gave her a certain grim satis
faction then, when she thought of
Dovie. Oh! Dovie Jansen was for
ever out of her worries. She was
certain, unless Kent managed to
recoup his fortune, he would never
see the smug, silly face of his one
great love again.
It will break his heart all over
again, Vivian thought, sadly, when
he finds it out. But he’ll find out
that she was after his money. What
a blow it will be to her, Vivian
smiled, with feline satisfaction.
A little later she stirred from her
reveire and said to Kent, who sat
with his head in his hands de
jectedly:
“I don't see what we’re worrying
about. We have a little cottage,
two nice cars in the garage—”
“We have,’ he interuppted her,
with a half smile. “You mean you
have a house and an airplane and
I have a couple of second-hand
cars.”
“Ah, but Kent,” her eyes filled
suddenly, “suppose one of us had
been injured. Suppose—suppose,
like little Celeste, wre were lying be
tween life and death in the hospi
tal. And suppose one of us had
been killed. We have a lot to be
thankful for.”
He agreed with her dismally—
half-heartedly. He almost wished
the cyclone had ended his worries
for him. Wouldn’t it be better to
be dead than to be poverty stricken
and a laughing stock? Pointed to
as a fool who had a million dollars
and let it get away from him like
so much air.
Kent got up suddenly, and left the
house without a word. She knew
that he was going out to walk in
the June sunlight to ease his bit
ter thoughts. “Of course,,” she
thought, “I can’t fully grasp what
it means to lose a million dollars,
because I’ve never known what it
was to have anything until the last
year.”
r But she remembered that all of
her beatuiful clothes were gone—
and was surprised that she couldn’t
feel bad about her luxuries ^ind her
life of ease being taken from her
so ruthlessly.
Then her heart told her what she
would have told no one. It was be
cause she wras nearer to Kent this
way. It would be almost like being
a real wife—living in the little house
with him, helping him—cooking for
him—even washing his clothes and
mending for him. A little song
came and flooded her whole being
with a tender, white light of peace
and happiness. He would be almost
hers for over two whole months.
Then, God alone knew.
She went about, preparing dinner
with a song on her lips. When it
was ready she worried and fretted
that Kent did not come. Almost an
hour later he stumbled in the door,
wan and paler than he had been.
“You're late for your dinner, lit
tle boy,’ she met him with a smile.
“Oh, you mustn’t bother, Viv.” He
seemed so embarrassed and flus
tered
“Apple Strudel!” She pulled him
into the dining room where the ta
ble was set, white and shining for
two. “You don’t expect to live with
out eating, do you, silly?”

New Controversy In
Tariff Looming Over
Administrative Angle
WASHINGTON. July 8.—</Py-Ad
ministrative provisions of the house
tariff bill, increasing the chief ex
ecutive's power to change import
duties, stood out today as rivaling
even the sugar schedule as a poten
tial source of controversy in the sen
ate.
An organized democratic effort to
eliminate the flexible provision from
this section of the measure was
seen in the issuance by the demo
cratic national committee of a
statement by Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, ranking minority
member of the finance committee,
announcing a “fight to the bitter
end” against the proposal.
The statement described the flex
ible clause, first enacted in 1922, as
a “proposition on the part of con
gress to surrender this essentially
legislative function to the executive
branch of the government,” and
said it “involves a principle funda
mental in our representative sys
tem of government; namely, the
right of the people to control the
purse strings through their repre
sentatives.”
Repeal of the clause through elim
ination of the flexible provision in
the house bill was sought by Repre
sentative Garner of Texas, ranking
democrat of the w’ays and means
committee, shortly before the meas
ure was passed by that chamber.
Lack of unanimity in favor of it
among reoublicans was demon
strated during the preceding debate
with a vigorous argument against it
by Representative Beck, republican,
Pennsylvania, a former solicitor
general.
OIL BARON PASSES
90TH MILESTONE
NEW YORK, July 8.—(&)—On the
eve of his 90th birthday, John D.
Rockefeller, Sr., is grateful for long
life, perfect health and good friends
and is “full of hope and cheer for

Tonight he Issued this statement.
“I have every reason to be grate
ful on my 90th birthday: everybody
has been so kind and good to me all
the year. With perfect health and
full of hope and cheer for the fu
ture, I have nothing but kindness
and good will for everybody.”
His 90th birthday will be much
like any other day for “John D.”,
whose adherence to a rigid routine
Is proverbiaL
-- ■■■ - ■ ... ii.. -..7_^
No one wants to be old. It isn’t i
nice to be old. But the worst of it
is, we just have to get old.
Suppose I had a sure process for
keeping young. What would you
give for the secret? If you are past
sixty years you would give me half
your fortune.’ I know a man who
would give me a milllion dollars for
every year I could add to his life.
It is an interesting fact that boys
and girls are not excited over the
idea of living to be a hundred. But
after middle life it is a matter of
great concern.
Of course we don’t want to be old,
but isn’t it foolish to attempt to fool
our acquaintances about it? I say
attempt to fool them, because it is
only an attempt and a useless one.
We just can’t fool them. Age will
tell with most of us.
One way or another everybody
knows the age of everybody else in
the community. Gossip fixes the
date anyhow, but the worst of it is
the face is very likely to tell its own
story. It is only an occasional per
son who escapes the verdict. A
shrewd observer rarely misses in the
estimate by more than two or three
years. We can’t escape the truth.
The trouble about the age busi
ness is a silly belief that nobody
loves you if you are past forty. That
is all nonsense.
We love children for their in
nocence. We love boys and girls
in their teens for their sprightli
ness and vivacity. We love young
people in their twenties for their
ambitions and their self-conscious
ness.
It is not until thirty years is
reached that life becomes really seri
ous. From that birthday forward
you feel you are "old.” To every
body under thirty you are old. To
everybody above thirty nobody is
old till he really is old—eighty or
more.
We never begin to tell stories
about our age till we are past thirty.
Since wre can’t hope to fool the
young folks, it will do us no good
to yam about it. The rest of the
world won’t care what the real age
is, because it does not regard thirty
plus as really old.
The cold fact is, we are absolutely
wasting our time and our reputa
tion for veracity by all the vain
tales about youthfulness. We fool
nobody.
By right living, fresh air, exercise,
cheerful thoughts, kindly deeds and
particularly by simple eating you
can preserve your figure, your clear
ness of complexion and the avoid
ance of wrinkles. Then they will
say to you: “She is every bit of
forty-two, but isn’t she a wonder?
She doesn’t look a day over thirty.”
Let us not worry about age. We
are as old as uTe feel and really no
older. Let us govern our lives so
that we can continue to be active
and useful, no matter how many
years we have acquired.
When I look at Senator Warren,
one of the most active men in the
senate and recall that he is past 85,
the fear of age leaves me. There Is
no good reason why good sense in
the observance of the rules of liv
ing will not permit most of us to live
to be really old.
