MEXICO AGAIN
While some millions of persons in the United States joyfully and respectfully celebrated the inauguration of a new president and vice president, another nation was rising up in revolution against a president inaugurated two months before.
Mexico must have her revolutions. There had been no serious outbreak before the present uprising since 1927. Eight states are said to be in revolt against the recently established Portes Gíil regime, "Bloodless so far," say the dispatches, but any hour may bring reports of actual combat and casualties.
People of the United States are apt toensure severely the revolutionaryhabits of their southern neighbors,without recalling all the factors involved. A different climate, a different race, less highly educated masses,a people of excitable temperament,all contribute to the stateof unrest that commonly prevailsthere. Mexico is a comparativelyyoung state. Though the name ofMexico is old in history, Mexicandemocratic government is new. Youngstates will have their revolutions,Mexican revolutions are but repeatedhistory.
MARSHAL FOCH
Marshall Foch, consummate of the allied forces during the World War, has been fighting death for a number of weeks. At times he appears to be winning the long conflict, only to suffer a relapse.
Physicians now declare that he is living on sheer grit, and that nothing else keeps him alive. Grim determination is sustaining the allied leader in his courageous, but hopeless, battle for life. It is no wonder that his courage allied the allied morale in the dark periods of the war.
Those who ask wint can come from war except death, destruction and desolation may well ponder the life of this man. If any good can come of war, it is the discovery and example of such brave perseverance against long oeds. While grit like this endures, the future of the human race need not be depaired. Of time of stress will always bring out traits of character which are necessary for the salvation of a people.
SHAW AND LINDBERGH
George Bernard Shaw showed with invitations to visit America still resolves "never to visit the bustling bustling land which worships literary lions." Mr. Shaw is reputed to be one of the best living speakers, but America will never have the opportunity to hear him because he dislikes her over-season hero worship. He fears that America would make such a fuss over him that life would not be "worth living."
Perhaps Charles A. Lindbergh could sympathetic heartily with Mr. Shaw. The nir hero has been feted so much that he is anxious to拿 away from it all. In fact, his closest friends have said that he will break down if he does not soon get rest away from the crowds.
Mr. Shaw has had to refuse
thousands of institutions, and fice from crowds continuously to pursue his work. Hindy, however, has another method. He takes wings and flies away from people when they become too numerous. Hindy, too, has had to refuse thousands of invasions, and in the future he will probably have to refuse many more, if he is to have a life "worth it." Mr. Shaw is 12, and Lindy is 27. They live on the opposite shores of a great ocean, but they have many things in common. They have health and physiques that thousands of men their ages envy. They both are famous throughout the world. Both of them have one great grievance: that of being too, too popular.
AIR SAFETY
Many people are aghast* at the thought of flying, because of the appalling danger the venture presents to them. Automobiles appear to be much safer despite the fact that thousands lose their lives ever on the open road. A greater number ride in automobiles than in airplanes, but even so, figures show that the causality in air transportation is much lower than would be supposed.
In 1927, 161 persons perished in air accidents. However, only six of these fatalities occurred in regularly scheduled planes. The greater percentage of deaths occurred in student instruction, racing, stant flying and civilian air trips. This proves the stability and safety of modern air transportation, when conducted under proper instruction and in tested machines.
No comparison of air accidents with fatality rates for other means of travel can properly be made, on account of the widely varying conditions under which different modes of travel are conducted. The only way actually to indicate safety in transportation is to compare the ratios in the same line of transportation for a given period of years. Such a comparison of accidents in anecdotics is not possible at present, since the systematic reporting of accidents and the compiling of accurate and complete statistics dates only from 1927, when the department of commerce inaugurated this service.
Such figures are not needed, how ever, to vouchafe the practicability if air travel. The air mail is now in established service, and the American people are rapidly becoming air minded.
CHICAGO'S DEATH RATE
Statistics of death rates in Chicago not fear indicates that, of every twenty-nine persons who died a normal death, one was killed by man's violence toward man. This is an印npling number and leads to the conclusion that either crime is no longer regarded as a serious offense or that certain economic factors are responsible.
The United States is a comparatively young country. It has wealth and large cities into which are crowded masses of active, restless people of all classes, each eager to glorify himself. The result is inexact; man falls prey to man since ie is both barrier and means. Crime allows.
It does not necessarily mean that there is more disrespect for law and order now. As the "old order changeth" new standards are evolved and situations which were unsuspected before must be met today. History shows that vice and crime reach their apogee when wealth and prosperity are greatest. The lowest flourishes with the highest and it only remains for time to sift out the best and leave the undesirable residue to be forgotten.
Crime is to be deplored and controlled with all possible means. It must be dealt with both socially and legally. The best available machinery must be called into play to crush its pernicious influence. But to expect the country to be free from it is a fanciful dream; all people must expect it to a greater or less extent though exerting every effort to cur 'all it.
If the U. S. keeps on sinking ships they will soon have to borrow boats to go to and from the sinking grounds.
Life Still Has Charm and Romance in Modern Maya Village of Merid
Morida, Yucatan — Life still has charm and romance in the land of the Mayas. There is much that has not changed since the days when Bishop Lands tried his hand at converting the Indians four centuries ago and complained that the Indians instead had converted Gerimino Angular, the first white man who lived among them. Gerimon, the bishop suspected, had become “its idolatrous as they”.
(Science Service)
Picturesqueeness in the modern Maya village is not destroyed as it often is in the Mexican villages on the mainland by dirt and misery, for the Yucatecan Indian is a luckier creature. He is cleaner, healthier and richer.
The town of Tirich, a dozen miles or so from the famous ruined city of Urxnal, is an interesting example of what has grown out of four centuries of European civilization implanted in the heart of the greatest prehistoric American civilization.
"Inside Stuff"
The Kansas should go out and get the news. It should see that its readers get information of all coming campus encampment news, sometimes is tempted to feel, the fault has not entirely with the Kansas but with those promoting the enterprise; if they fail to come to the town, they may lay the matter before the editors.
Telephone service is still good on the Hill. The campus is not so large that an elite bodyguard can walk from his or her office to the Kansas office. The University's public system delivers students and employees those who think their enterprise is being overloaded have plenty of opportunities to attend the attention of the paper, and are themselves partly to blame if the enterprises do not secure adequate adjunct funding.

RADIO AND TELEPHONE
Our Contemporaries
.
Radio, commercially exploited, in hardly infancy. Its possibilities are much broader than those of the telephone in view. The television holds a record of popular amusements. It already has a substantial interest in the production, distribution and exhibition of sound-motion pictures, with increased facilities for recording, video and audio records, on films and through the air in the theater or in the home.
While the net income of the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph company in 1928 was $141,700,000, the net income of America in the same period was some over $23,600,000, the Radio corporation's brief existence throws its financial showing into high relief. The telephone business has grown by more than a hundred percent on a sound commercial basis is not 10 years old. Yet the Radio corporation of America last year earned a net income about one-sixth of its annual revenue. The American Telephone and Telegraph company. The comparative net earnings of these companies are not an accurate index, however, to the present relative standing of the two

The professors' wrath was satirized. He will probably see that no more passages have lined the Spanish stucco, because they were on the path, at least in his classes. His prudish attitude will undoubtedly be hard to handle, but he hosts on the part of the student.

And so the public hero, the man who has shown his ability and char-
We learn from the advertising column that a popular hero of the sea owes his success to the fact that he buys pockets for his pocket-if he had been forced to delay to get them from his cabin, all would have been lost. But the real challenge is that no one exists in its existence, is that when a sailor has been in the sea for some hours and is rescued near exhaustion, he needs a cigarette, an alarm; he asks for a cigarette and is highly indignant if you offer him these without the cough.
The act of this Puritan is symbolic of what our local courthouse Comprehends as the best thing we can do of our literature and of our singing in their hands. We hope for the completion of this work.
- Tiel was a growing town when, while white the men were the newly everyone who lives in the town. Too many everyone who speaks Spanish speaks Mayo too, with a large proportion of people who speak English only. There is no pure white blood left, and native blood far preeminent.
In the native sections of the town in the Indians still live in their burrs of the wild west, much as they did before the conquest. The most notable change is that now we use the hammock, introduced by the French during the days of the straw rug or "petite" which they used as a bed before, and hammock-making has become a Yucatán tradition.
Their hats are in gardens fenced with limestone walls, rich with orange, banana, and marbled magenta colored bougainvillea and fire-red "dambynys" add starting color to the picture. The garden has white cotton gowns with spatheless white cotton gowns brilliantly embroidered at neck and bem, walk like barefoot queens on the grass, draping their jugs of water or naked babies on their hip. Statuesque women, with hair of brown tones and beard or ground corn dough on their heads, stalk out of the spathelless market with its crisp green piles of herbs and beans of seeds and washed veget.
Maya potters still ply their ancient trade in Ticad, and the town supplies the surrounding region with earthenware, including pots and a prehistoric disk or "kabal," which was on the verge of becoming a true potter's wheel, is still used. The potter uses this disk to fill pots and inscribe the "kabal" with his toe and insult while he gouges out the wet mass of clay as it showly turns and changes into grovely shapes shaped by the potter's hand. They are full of pleasant round shapes drying in the sun waiting for the baking-day, when they are burned in primitive ovens used before America was discovered.
Have you ever thought of the aburduity of the plan? Imagine voting on a football team, and the football hero is supporting him, or buying an automobile because the salesman can make the contract more difficult. The indeterminations are obvious in their absurdity, but we yet buy our cigarettes because a beautiful stage beauty reaches for a cigarette.

--being used to high moral purpose. The Rockefeller appeal to stockholders is not directed toward the covertive about it. The issue will be decided, not by Stewart's employees or by the Rockefeller firm, and the majority of the stockholders who are willing to subordinate their material interests to the cause of decency in business.
"COERCION" IN THE OIL FIGHE
Colin Stewart of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana has answered questions about employee-stockholders to vote for him at the annual meeting on March 1 with a countercharge of $4.6 million. Stewart declares that 99.47 percent of the employees who own stock in the company have favored him. He denies that coercion has been resorted to in securing this support. At the same time he charges that the company is power of the Rockefeller millions is being used everywhere intimidate anderce individuals and financial insignificance.
That Stewart should fight to keep his position is only natural and there is no reason to doubt his claim that he can do the job that porting him. They owe their jobs to Stewart and his organization, and one has denied that Stewart has made a mistake. The strength of the Rockefeller support cannot be so readily accounted for because this action if it his only concern were to make money. Feeling that it was his duty to what he had done, he followed the oil scandal, he appealed to stockholders to support an effort to remove Stewart.
The Rockefeller millions are indeed powerful, but in this case they are
