COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS (More about Mexico City—Con tinued from last week.) You must not think of the hum ble man with a poncho as repre sentative of Mexico, nor must you think that the bull ring Is the great national interest. It is only a by-play, as baseball Is to us. We used to say, somewhat cas ually, that the English came to settle and grow with the new land, while the Spanish and French came for gold and exploi tation of the moment. An obser vant person, must brush that aside, for the Spanish have done one thing at least which contin ues to confront us as our fail ure. The English, considered now as colbnlsCs, pushed tSe Tndtatt and confiscated his land; tbe Spaniards, have brought the Indian Into the area of Spanish life. One must not overlook the co lossal achievements of our Cath olic brethren. In any community, however small, they built sanctu aries, from the humble spot by the side of the road to the vast and magnificent cathedrals found throughout all Latin or Spanish America. , Spanish language, Spanish cul ture and Catholicism have been diligently fostered and propagat ed by a missionary zeal that rec ognized no hardship as too great for their efforts. In many a land the poor priest has been the apostle of cviilization and his ser vice has been all pervasive. We Americans, as we call our selves, owe so much to the fusion of elements in our being. We can not say of a man, “this is the American,” but you can say that here, with this explanation: you see the vast development of men, women and children through changes in economic condition. Life here is not a melting pot, as with us, more or less a compos- its of many nations. It Is, rather, the development of one nation by economic opportunity. One sees in stores, offices, hotels sons and daughters of humble homes who have developed through o port un ity and the association through work. With us, I might use my self as ap example. Strains of Scotch, Irish, English, German and Welsh. The English, Scotch, Welsh and Irish are notably dis similar, though having much in common at bottom. I know of no such composite among Spanish as a rule. We owe so much to the calm, persists nee of the English, the ebullience of the lovable Irish, the sturdiness of the Scotch. Then we And the ruggedness and idealism of the Wesh with the stolid industriousness of tbe Ger man—newer elements but im mensely important. The British (and Frnech) have made a great country of Canada; all the world has contributed to make our nation the surpassing people of all time; and now the Mexican is rapidly availing him self of the experience of all the nations, especially of the United States, but he is not Sacrificing his heritagle; rather he is in the front rank of progress, utilizing all the proved results of other na tions. We used to have people who re garded themselves as experts in foreign affairs. I am not an ex pert for I marvel constantly at what I see. For example, I should mow the Indian for 1 lived In constant and intimate contact with all elements in the Peruvian y Andes for a year and a half from the highly educated men of distinguished ancestry to the humble Indian coming in on his burro, himself with poncho. Then another year and a half in North ern coastal Peru at Lambayeque; then seven years in Lima. On one side the Caballero and by him the poor Indain. In the United States we are English, but that notable and wonderful composite ;here this is Spanish. These people did not adopt Spanish culture; they were born to it. And the little mucacho of the roadside or tbe town can speak with the courtesy, of an aristocrat if „ courtesy he will And a gentle refinement of speech that impresses him. We must learn Spanish. A1 killed and a dozen maimed for life. But they all come through each time with no one hurt, though the men passengers turn gray or bald-headed, and tbe ladies lost their switches. The taxis are cheap here; I’ve gone thirty or forty blocks for two pesos, seventeen cents, though at other times I paid three pesos. Even so, the rate is nearly as cheap as js riding the com modious buses of the South Caro lina Electric and Gas Co. If you are looking for sump tuous splendor, and calling for fancy liquors, you can get rid of your money without difficulty here; but I dropped into a nice, clean tempting little place one night for supper and enjoyed en ough ham for a small family. The ham, rice, delicious bread, coffee, vegetables and dessert- all for twelve pesos—Just a penny or two less than one dollar. I went on a water trip that was done in the best Venice manner. A small water course has been expanded until it appears to be several hundred feet wide and some miles in length. It is called Xochimillo. Incidentally, Lake Marlon or Saluda Lake would suit much better. Saluda even more so because of the absence of snags. About a hundred Aat boats, from fifteen feet long to forty feet, and about eight to ten feet wide, make excursions, a ta ble being in the middle to facili tate luncheon parties. The motive power is manpower, two men with poles for each boat. The stream was crowded with happy men, women and children mak ing merry, as only the Latins can. The Latin can be the gloom iest person in the world or the happiest and merriest. We of Gulf Oil Prodncta CHARLIE’S GULF CENTER 314-316 E. Carolina Ave. Phone 9274 Clinton, 8. C.

IheOldl Hj Neighbors though i was oltlCililly ussuciat de with the ilustrado y erunito element of finez, I cannot boast of any degree of mastery of the beautiful Spanish, but even I have found that my respectful and courteous approach has .met wit hinstant response in courtly manner. When we speak the language and establish mutual respect we shall find the Mexican our nat ural ally (n a great service to the enrichment of life and the glory of the Great Jehovah. Spain, the mother, is today as a poor relation of the fabulous Spanish - speaking countries of America; just as Britain is in the shadow of Canada, the United States and the rapidly prospering African countries. The unit of Mexican money is the Peso (pronounced pay-so— “e” is “a” in Spanish). The peso is worth about eight and a frac tion cents American; or about 12 for a dollar. The peso is worth 100 centavos. We send an air mail letter for 50 centavos or' T -*s than 5 cents American. I have quite a number of 50 centavo coins and 20 centavos and 5 centavos on my dresser, which has a mirror about six feet by 4 feet. That is all right for a lady, but a man can see more than enough of his ugly seilf in a mirror one- tenth the size. As the coins accumulate 1 am reminded of tbe American sol diers in France. When they re ceived centimes in change (100 centimes for 17 cents then; more later) they brushed aside the change, not wishing to have a pocket full of money which couldn’t buy a package of cigar ettes. And so the French mistook the Americans for millionaires who threw away money. I again wish to thank thesis chivalrous gentlemen for their finea.

Breedin speaking over Station XEW, Mexico City, through the courtesy of this sta tion and tbe splendid cooperation of my new friend, Senor Matin- ez. This afternoon I visited El Mer cado de la Merced, a mammoth central market in which are dis played all fruits of Mexico and numerous vegetables. The build ing had a floor space equal to four city blocks. I saw bananas from wee, tiny ones about the size of a stick of candy in circum ference but only about four inch es long, to the largest, fattest bananas I have ever seen, albeit not so large as those of the Ama zon Valley of Peru, reputed to be such bananas but never saw them. I regarded them as being like the giants of mythology. I saw the reddest tomatoes I’ve “Tha beauty part is It won’t coat a cent We’U get ft all out of tax aioney.” NEED YARD OR GARDEN WORE DONE?

Mexi co produces very large pineapples and different varieties of oranges. This morning my taxi driver, responding to my admiration of the great development of Mexi» co, waxed both eloquent and po etic in his account of the fertility of the South of Mexico. The land of Canaan and the famed valley of the Jordan are just second raters, by comparison. I’ve never faced a battery of artillery in action; nor charged the enemy in the teeth of machine guns, bombs, land mines, and gleaming bayonets, but I have ridden in taxis in Mexico City a dozen times and I think I de- _ serve recognition for my intre pidity and valor. I may not de serve the Croix de Guerre or the Victoria Cross, or the Congres sional Medal, but I think the pur ple heart, with extra honors should be awarded me, with suit able presentation before a Guard of Honor on the Parade Ground.

No wonder my friend Tom Waring turned back when he reached Monterey, by comparison, made the Caro lina taxis seem like funeral cars, but he should have come on to Mexico City. When I get into a taxi here we soon run in columns of threes in' all four directions, all going at top speed. I sit back calmly awaiting and hoping my insurance will be paid promptly.
