Washington. ? Mexico Is pushing forward Its greatest highway project ? an improved road linking* the United States border at Laredo." Texas, with Its capital, MmIco City. The federal highway commission of Mexico states that this 770-mile section, opening up northeastern Mexico to tourist travel and trade, will probably be ready for through traffic In June, 1933. A bulletin from the National Geo graphic society describes the chief cities and scenic features along this picturesque route, which will be a part of the proposed 10.000-ralle Pan-Amer ican highway Unking Washington, D. C., with Buenos Aires, Argentina, and other Latin American capitals. "Motorists seeking new roads to con quer will find that this 'farthest south* for a continuous highway Journey from the United States Is a roadway of spec- ] tacular variety," says the bulletin. ?The route traverses deserts, mile-high mountains, ranch country, lush tropl cal Jungles, and, In places, runs through deep canons where the high way Is a mere scratch on the steep mountainside. Ties Up With United States. "From San Antonio, Texus, a paved road southward to the twin border cities of Laredo and Neuvo Laredo ties In the new Mexican hlg^jway with the Improved road system of the Unit ed States. Nuevo Laredo, in the Mex ican State of Tamaullpas, and the first city to be reached aft6r crossing the Hio Grande, has developed amazingly in the last two years, since pavement was completed to Monterrey. This 151-mile section, compares favorably with the best American highways. One stretch runs 45 miles ncross the desert without a curve. "Monterrey, the capital of the State I of Nuevo Leon, Is Burrounded by mile high pealcs, the most conspicuous be ing its famous Saddle mountain (Monte de la SHla). "An Improved gravel road leads from Monterrey over the mountains to the west to Saltlllo, capital of Coa hulla, a region of ranges where long horned cattle graze. This eventually will be part of a through route to Mex ico City via San Lttia P^tosi. "The nia'n highway toJu..,, aowever, striken south to Oludad Victoria.

"From this point to the little town of Valles, in the State of San Luis Potosl, the road surface alternates be tween gravel and graded earth. This region Is a paradise for hunters ? wild boar, deer, raccoon, quail and' turkey .

Coffee, cotton, rice and vanilla beans are the principal crops. "In the rugged mountain section be tween Vallea and the village of Jacala, In the State of Hidalgo, construction work has been moving forward slowly since April, 1031. Here the road climbs from the dense tropical jungles and swamps along the Tamuin river, where parrots fly overhead, and gorgeous flowers and banana groves border the highway, to the tableland. "From Jacala southward an Im proved highway will carry the route through Pachuca, an Important silver mining town, Into Mexico City. Rapid progress has been made here In recent months, and what some travelers once characterized as the 'most dangerous road In the world' may soon be a mod- ; ern boulevard, a monument- to engi neering skill. Near Pachuca are great basaltic formations sometimes called 'the GlaAt Causeway of America.' "From Mexico City modern roads are branchings out In. all directions. The longest, of all-weather gravel con struction, extends over the Old Span ish Trail to Acapulco. Another car ries the Pan-American highway south ward to the city of Pueblo." THE FINICAL APPETITE By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Late Dean of Men, University of Illinois. If It Is true that most of us eat more thnn Is good for us. It is equally true that we have too limited a va riety In our diet. There are too many things for which we have no liking or Imagine that we do not. "I never eared very much for vegeta bles," you hear some one say, or "I don't like fried chicken or angel food c n k e," o r whatever It Is thpt the Individual has developed distaste for. The story Is told of James Russell Lowell or some other New England celebrity that he one day took a dis tinguished guest home to lunch unan nounced ? a proceeding which the wise and experienced husband seldom fol lows. t It was wafch day, or the maid's day out, or something of the sort, and all that Afts. Lowell had for luncheon was a dish of "picked" codfish, which she had taught her husband to enjoy. ? "I will omit the fish course today," the guest announced when ho was about to be served, and then some thing had to be done. Brltton never ate butter. Whenever the subject of butter came up, Brlt ton had rather a depressed look come over his face. Nor would he eat any thing which contained butter, if he was aware of the situation. Further than this, he refused to eat anything which you told him contained butter. If you passed him the mashed pota toes or a fllmple piece of sponge cake and Intimated thot butter formed part of the composition of either, It wrs thumbs down with Brltton. Ills wasn't a matter of taste, It was n Htate of mind. ^ A varied diet Is undoubtedly more healthful than a restricted one. A man who will eat and enjoy anything that Is wholesome Is fnr easier to get on wlA, far mOre easily satisfied with what is placed before him. One can teach himself to eat and to like al most anything that Is safely edible. I know, for I have learned to eat car rota and beets and eggplant, and these vegetables. In my mind, approxi mate most nearly to nothing to eat of anything I know. O. 1933, WMtsrn Nrwapupar Union. POTPOURRI Why the Yawn A certain Amount of oxygen In needed In our blood.

The Household Soups are welcome at winter meals, whether served at mid day or night. Sometimes a soup can be so hearty that It can form the main course for a family luncheon or supper. Chowders are among these hearty soups. "One could scarcely eat a full course din ner after a godd nerving of clam, flsh, or even corn chowder. There are certain European soups which are of like hearty substance. One of this k!nd Ts given today. Francatelll gives directions for the making of sausages which are among the Ingredients. However, as sausages are seldom home-made In America and are easily obtainable, this recipe will be omitted. By LYDIA LE BARON WALKER fore the soup la poured over fried sausages. The above quantity of soup calls for 18 sausages "the size of a cob nut" This Is a hazelnut. An ordinary sau sage link would supply three or four of these nut-size pieces according to the size of the link. Or sausage meat can be shaped Into little balls or ovals, tf links are used, cut them after fry ing before pouring the soup over them. Either kind of Bausages should be fried a delicate brown In a little- but ter. Put them In the soup tureen or divide them equally and put each group In its serving soup plate. Bell Syndicate. ?

The city dweller falls the hardest In the modernized version of the old "get-flch-qulck" schemes, Fred O. Dewey, counsel for the Better Business bureau, stated In discussing endless chain selling. Detroit Is reported to be head quarters for 14 separate chains, which give buyers of small articles of merchandise an opportunity to earn commissions on sales which they In turn can make by develop* i Ing the chain scheme. "In my opinion," stated Mr. Dewey, "the fever for endless chain coupon schemes which are sweeping this community and other parts of the country as well, in volves contracts which, without ex ception, so far as I have examined them, are gambling contracts.
