MEXICO AGAIN
SCENE OF WAR
of Sonora, Coahuila,
Nueva Leon, Vera Cruz
Center of Revolt.
Washington.—Many of the 28 states
ft Mexico have been mentioned in
rtoHes of the recent revolutionary out-
break, but nearly all news sterlea
tgree In the prominence of four:
Sonora, Coahuila, Nueva Leon and
Vera Cruz. A bulletin from the Wash-
ington headquarters of the National
Geographic society gives the geo-
graphic and economic background of
these four states and of three key
:ittes, Monterey, Vera Cruz and Tam-
plco.
"Sonora, in northwestern Mexico,
irhich is the fountalnhead of the new
revolution, has points in common with
>ur own Southwest," says the bulle-
tin. "To many Mexicans in other
states, the Sonorans are the 'Yankees
rf Mexico.' This is because of their
Uertness and activity and because
contacts with Americans have shaped
many of the Sonoran customs.
Sonora Progressiva.
"Nearly every well-to-do family
imong the merchants and ranchers
lias sent its sons and daughters to
schools in the United States, and it
is not difficult to find natives who
speak English fluently. There has
seen a stream of American goods into
the state, and in Sonoran homes one
s constantly seeing American phono-
graphs, sewing machines, baby car-
riages and brass beds.
"The state is primarily a mining I
ind cattle country. Rich silver, gold !
nd copper mines have been operated j
since the coming of the Spaniards; !
md there are treasures, some of the j
rarer minerals, never yet worked com- \
nerciaily. In the southern end of
■he state lies the valley of the Yaqui
river, home of the Yaqui Indians. All
Mexican governments have found
:hese Indians an unruly lot, and san-
guinary wars have been fought with
:hem.
"Sonora has several gateway towns
along the American border. At No-
;ales an important railway enters
Mexico from the United States, strik-
ing south to the Gulf of California
ind thence along the Mexican west
roast for 500 miles or more. Turning
nland, It reaches Mexico City.
"Adjoining Sonora on the east lies
Ohihuahua, Mexico's biggest state,
which, according to the early reports,
remained faithful to the federal cause.
Immediately east of Chihuahua is
Coahuila, another center of revolu-
tionary activity. Coahuila is a semi-
irid region crossed by mountains and
with some desert patches; but with
considerable areas on which wheat
ran be grown and cattle pastured. It
.vas to this state that Texas was
inked when, a century ago, that huge
rommonwealth was a part of Mexico.
SaltilIo, in the southern part of Coa-
luila, was a common capital, and to
his remote town, across deserts and
aarren mouutains, the early American
rolonists of Texas had to go to pre-
sent their petitions.
Railway "Nerve Center."
"Monterrey, capital of Nueva Leon,
ies about 130 miles south of Laredo,
Texas, and 500 miles north of Mexico
City. It has a population of more than
100,000, and Is one of the most progres-
sive and modern cities in Mexico. Its
ahlef Importance from a military point
jf view lies in the fact that It Is the
railway 'nerve center* of the republic.
Through Monterrey passes the main
-ailway line between Mexico City and
.he eastern United States, crossing the
United States-Mexican border at 1-are-
lo, Texas. Two other railways from
the border converge at Monterrey;
one from Eagle Pass, Texas, and one
from Brownsville, Texas, near the
nouth of the Rio Grande.
"The spokes of the city's wheel of
railways also include a line extending
lue west to Torreon and (he Mexican
i!;<- district, the main line south to
San Luis I'otosi and Mexico City, und
a line southeastward to the port of
I'ampico. Without this rail center, it
will be almost Impossible for the Mex-
ican government to maintain railway
connection with the United Slates.
"The state of Vera Cruz is a nar-
-ow band of territory covering the
lower half of the eastern Ouif coast of
Mexico. About midway of its coast
ine is the city of Vera Cruz, which
has been the water gateway of Mexico
from the days of Cortez. From Vera
Cruz a railway extends inland, climb-
ing the mountain bulwark that rims
tiie central plateau on which the City
of Mexico lies.
Growing In Importance.
"Vera Cruz is for the most part a
low-lying country given over to ba-
nana, sugar and rice plantations and
the growth of other tropical plants.
There is no north and south railway
throughont the state, only relatively
short stretches of track up and down
the coast from the port. This situa-
tion emphasizes the Importance In the
affairs of the state, of the city of
Vera Cruz, the sea gateway, and the
city of Orizaba, 60 miles Inland on
the road to Mexico City. The holding
of these two cities will mean control
of the state.
"In recent years the port of Vera
Cruz, has slipped somewhat from Its
former dominant poslUon among Mex-
ican ports, while Tamplco, 230 miles
to the north, has grown rapidly In Im-
portance. This advance of Tamplco
at the expense of Vera Cruz has been
due chiefly to two factors; the devel-
opment of petroleum supplies In the
vicinity of Tamplco, and labor
employment restrictions in Vera
that have discouraged Importers and
exporters. Since a railway has been
In existence from Tamplco on to the
pi .teau at San Luis Potosl, an ever
Increasing stream of goods from over-
seas hus flowed to Mexico City over
this route. This geographic and eco-
nomic situation Is of great Importance
to the federal government at this
time. Vera Cruz and Monterrey In the
hands of the revolutionists, the San
Luis Potosl-Tamplco route will give
the City of Mexico Its only avenue of
Intercourse with the United States."
Milan and Naples Vie
to Be Largest City
Rome.—The two major cities of
Italy—Milan In the north and Naples
In the south—are making a desperate
race for the honor of being the larg-
est city of this country.
By a great spurt within the last
several years Naples Is right on the
heels of Milan, with a figure of only
1,981 separating rhera. Census totals
just Issued by the government show
that Milan, as of January 1, 1029, has
342,114 Inhabitants and Naples 940,133.
Carrying out Mussolini's program
of encouraging rapid growth of Italy's I
population, Naples took unto herself I
in just the last year 29,240 new cltl-
zens.
For several generations Milan, the j
hi,; manufacturing and commercial j
city of Italy, has occupied the unclial- i
lenged position of chief city of Victor
Emmanuel's nation. But if I lie growth
of Naples, the port city where most
Americans who sail to Italy on Ital-
ian boats land, continues proportion-
ately the southern city will wrest this
position away from her northern
rival. - •

Exposure to Light
Hurts Many Medicines
Washington.—Light which is so
helpful to sick persons does not do
their medicines any good. In fact, so
many of these deteriorate upon ex-
posure to light that druggists have
authorized a special study to discover
containers which will protect their
medicines and chemicals from the
harmful light. In some eases light
rays seem to preserve the medical
virtues of a preparation, but in others
they are definitely harmful.
The changes which patients notice
in the colors of medicines are usually
indicative of change in the medical
properties. The green color of some
iron preparations changes to an un-
pleasant brown. Bright yellow oint-
ments turn brown or green. Tinctures
and fluid extracts made from vegeta-
ble drugs turn a dark color and de-
posit sediments. Serums and other
biological products lose their ability
to cure or prevent disease.
If yonrs is a hard lot build
a house on it.

Girl Flees From Never
Ending Jazz of Radio
Hot Springs, Ark.—"The never end-
ing Jazz of dad's radio" drove Miss
Heni ice Header, twenty-one, member j
of a prominent Liot Springs family, j
from her home in search of some |
place where she could live as she j
pleased und not "have to listen to that
everlasting radio."
Beruice disappeared recently. Eler j
parents sent scores of telegrams to \
police in Southern cities. They be-
lieved her to be an amnesia victim.
Memphis police found her hunting
for a job in the Tennessee metropolis.
She begged to be allowed to remain.
Her parents were notified and the girl
finally agreed to return home.
"I guess I'll have to go back home
and listen to dad's radio all the time
and do the same old things," she said.
"I didn't have amnesia; I came away
without telling them because I didn't
want to discuss it."
Once Rich Man, Broke
at 84, to Start Again
San Francisco.—"I'm broke now,
and maybe It's too late for me to try
and recuperate," said Anton Hanson,
eighty-four, once wealthy miner, as he
entered the city and county hospital
here, his feeble body tortured by fever
und the effects of pneumonia.
But in the next breath there spoke
his hope eternal.
"But maybe 1 can make another pile
when 1 get over this blamed 'flu' busl- ■
ness. It's pretty hard, though, to start j
business at my age without money—
just like climbing a wall without a
ladder."
His fortune lost four times, Hun-
son hoped to make a fifth fresh start
in life.
Your Home Is Best
No gent who has planned and built his own home
will ever be heard to admit that any other home
can touch it collectively or in any single detail.
Difference in cost or luxury in appointment means
nothing to the builder and his work.
Home making hearts truly are happiest. If you
have that home-yearning that comes in the spring,
let us help you with your plans, and in supplying
your materials. We can save you money.

Once Poor Himself,
Feeds Hungry Men
Boston.—John Carzi, well-
known restaurant proprietor, Is
contented again, his annual
"debt to America" having been
paid when he gave free meals
to 2,500 "down-and-outers."
This Is the second year that
Carzl has given a party to the
destitute. When he came to this
country twelve years ago he was
nearly penniless and he feels
that he owes a "debt to Amer-
ica" because this country has
given him an opportunity to
live.
The good Samaritan provided
750 pounds of fresh pork, 85
pounds of fresh ground beef,
600 loaves of bread, plenty of
vegetables and more than 200
gallons of coffee, topping off
with pie and Ice cream.
