Today Good Net vs for Mexico. Mellon Borrows, You Save. Dangerous Short Selling. He Proposes 18 Times. By ARTHUR BRISBANE _/ The supreme court says New York state has a right to regulate the working hours of women, pro tecting them from exploitation and oppression. That decision is wel come. Presently, let us hope, children throughout the country will he pro tected in the same way, with su preme court approval. The American Telegraph and Telephone company will take charge of the telephone system in Mexico. They won’t get it for nothing, but the Mexicans will get a real tele phone service. That’s one good piece of news for Mexico. Henry Ford will build a great plant on the Mexican gulf coast in the free port zone recently estab lished. That’s more good news for Mexico. Big wrnges go with Henry Ford. And big wages build up a country. Big men can only get what little men have to spend, al though some big men don’t yet realize it. Now, if Judge Gary will start 25,000 men working on that moun tain of solid iron, not far from Mexico City, there will be three good pieces of news for Mexico. Nothing pacifies a country like prosperity, nothing disturbs it like hard times. Once more let gamblers be care ful in selling French currency short. Yesterday francs went up sharply. The French are not fools, although Mr. Poincare has made serious mis takes. Great power and intelligence are in the French nation. The French law limits the issue of francs to 41,000,000,000, only $1,000,000,000 at present values. Anybody who thinks that 10,000,000 skilful, in dustrious and frugal Frenchmen are not worth many times $1,000, 000,000 doesn't know much about the French. Mr. Mellon is borrowing $400, 000,000 for temporary needs on government “certificates of indebt edness.” He borrows at 4 per cent. That’s good financing, shows the desirability of having as secretary of the treasury a man who knows something about money. They call women changeable. You’ve heard the Italian tenor com pare woman to a feather in the wind. What about men? Please consider Mr. Charles J. Royle. Once every two months for three years, 18 times in all, he proposed marriage to Marie Corner. She swears to that. Now she must sue him to make him pay $50,000 for not doing what he proposed to do, 18 separate times. Why, by the way, holds the record for frequpnt proposals in the United States? Will young women supply statistics in con fidence? What is the power of the Ku Klux Klan? Don’t say offhand, “Ob, it amounts to nothing.” You might be mistaken. Results in Mis souri indicate that the klan is powerful there. In Indiana, Ed ward Jackson is running for gov ernor with the support of the klan. He doesn’t call himself a klansman and doesn't deny that he is one. What’s going to happen in the election in May? Wise men from Indiana say that the klan will make Jackson governor. Mr. Levermore, who won the Bok peace prize, says the United States began as a league, therefore it is foolish not to go into the league of nations. You will find no reason ing like that outside of Mother Goose. (Copyrleht. 1924.) 100 Perish in Fire. Shanghai, March 11.—Revised esti mates late this afternoon placed the number of dead In a fire which swept a four-story silk factory in the heart of the city today at 100. Early this afternoon 51 bodies had lieen recovered from the ruins of the building. The dead include a score of Russian refugees, who, destitute, were working in the factory and liv ing on the roof above. A score of charred bodies were found at the bottom of a half-burned ladder at the rear of the building. Terrible scenes wcro enacted on the second floor, where over 50 women were trapped by the flames and unable to escape because the win dows on that floor were securely wire screened. The Chinese hospitals are filled with seriously wounded, scores leap ing from third and fourth-story win dows. Trouble Feared in Balkans. Sofia, Bulgaria, March 11.—King Boris is deeply concerned over the situation In the Balkans. The rela tions between Bulgaria and Jugo slavia ate badly strained, the trouble between the two countries being of long standing, but accentuated re cently by border clashes. The Bulgarian government is cn deavorlng to suppress the Macedo n.an insurgents, who have been caus ing the Serbs, now incorporated in the Jugo Slavla state, much trouble by incursions.

By AmoHited Washington, March 11.—President t oolidge today sent a special message to congress recommending a reduction of 25 per cent on income taxes for 1923 he authorized before March 13. The president believes that the im portance of tile reduction would Justi fy the laying aside of all other legisla tive business for its consideration. By International Novi Service. The transmission of the message to day followed speedily upon the action of republican leaders in congress yes terday in turning down this self same resolution. They contended, that in asmuch ns tlie 25 per cent reduction was contained in the general tax bill, there was no occasion for passing a special resolution at this time. Democrats and insurgent republi cans are also opposed to it, fearing that it will presage the way for Pres ident Coolidge to veto the general bill, once the 23 per cent is made to apply to current taxes. The message follows: "It has been my earnest hope that a 23 per cent redyctlon in taxes to be paid for the current year may be provided by law before the 3 5th of March current. Many peo ple have explained that such would be the case and deferred their tax returns accordingly. It Is a matter of sentiment that I have no hesita tion in recommending that the pub lic welfare will be much advanced by temporarily laying aside all other legislation and enacting a resolution for this purpose, which ought to be by unanimous consent. The taxpayers, the business inter ests, agriculture, industry, finance; in fact, all the elements that go to make up the economic welfare of the people of America would be greatly benefited by such action. "It would remove the element of uncertainty from the current finan cial year, which would be a strong stimulant to business, with its re sultant benefits to the wage earner and the agriculture of our country. It is impossible to see that any harm could accrue from this action, and there is every prospect of re sulting benefits which would be very great. It would be a positive step in the right direction, which is much needed at this time to justify the confidence of the people that the government is intent solely upon the preservation of the public wel fare without regard to any collateral objects." President of Honduras Dead Washington, March 11.—The death of Lopez Gutierrez, de facto president of Honduras, was reported to the State department today in a telegram from Tegucigalpa. The message said that Gutierrez died at 10:30 a. m. yesterday but did not give the cause of death. A 72 hour armistice had been arranged among the factions In the three cornered revolution. President Gueriteraz left the capi tal some days ago when a revolu tion attack appeared Imminent. He went to Amapalla for refuge, but to day’s message did not indicate where his death occurred. Bones of Senbi Unwrapped. Cleveland, O., March 11.—The bones of Senbi, "scribe of the king," who died In the XII Kgyptian dynasty, some 4.000 years ago, were un wrapped at the Cleveland museum of art, where Senbi's mummy case had been exhibited since 1924. The bones will be reassembled and added to Western Keserve's Medical schools collection of skeletons, one of the largest In the world. Have you sent In s, r.ocal Laf today?

Bride Willing to Overlook Errors P o a s i 1) 1 e Discrepancies in Story of Missing Christ mas Bridegroom. If I). F. Dillon, alleged cattleman, will only return to his wife and her small son at the Castle hotel, she Is willing to overlook a few possible er rors* of fart in his various converse tions with her.
