CADILLAC BAR FLOURISHES IN NUEVO LAREDO Old New Orleans Mecca For Parched Throats Is Transplanted l>aredo, Tex., Mai 11—(UP)—Americans whose "whistles" have gone dry and who long for thirst-quenching concoctions of pre-Volstead days are flocking to Nuevo Laredo, across the Rto Grande from here, to have their appetites appeased. The most popular resort of the Americans Is the Cadillac bar, a replica of the famous New Orleans institution by that name which was presided over by H. C. Ramos, mixologist of wide note and discoverer of the “Ramos Gin Fizz". This white and toamy-like concoction with its "bouquet” of rich aroma spread the fame of New Orleans in the old days as the place providing something different In the way of drinks. Some ot the most noted men of the yesteryear when in New Orleans never failed to pay the Cadillac bar a visit and enjoy the entertainment provided by Ramos. Then along came prohibition and both the Cadillac bar and the Ramos Gin Fizz passed ot of existence. Four years went by and one of the men who helped make the New Orleans Cadillac Bar famous showed tip In Nuevo Laredo, rented the old abode and concrete building on the northwest corner of Hidalgo Plaza and opened for business —painting across the upper portion of tbe building front the words "Cadillac Bar, We Are From New Orleans.” This man is Mayo Bessan, formerly associated with Ramos and an expert in prepeterating the concoctions that had spread the fame of New Orleans. Associated with Bessnian are Andv Bulliard, known as "John L. Sullivan," due to his striking resemblance to the fighter and A1 Roschuni, for many manager of Janssen's restaurant in New Orleans. The reunion of these men soon established the popularity of the Cadillac Bar in Nuevo Laredo and they began “turning out" the Ramos Gin Ki'zz for thirsty Americans who visit these parts. The popularity of the diink is attested by the toast of a prominent American just after a Mexican helper had given a demonstration of shimmy while shaking the concoction. He said: “Great achievements partake of the popularity of the doer of things. The individuality is merged into the deed, and the deed is a reflex of the personality. The toucli of the chisel that gives life to the marble; the stroke of the brush that causes the canvass to smile and speak; the melody of the liaip; the bewitching sweetness of tlie violin brings to vivid recollection the names of the masters of old, and so the Ramos Gin Fizz a masterpiece of modem achievement makes us think of the artist who was its creator. "The color, white, represents the purity and integrity of the man; the sugar therein represents the sweetness of his disposition; the bubble and effervescence shows the activity of his wonderful mind; the other ingredients 1 am in ignorance of, but this also goes to show that ho can keep a secret. Could I but pluck a rosebud from every clime, I would witli the effusion of the muses’ art weave a botiqeut of the sweetest perfume of H. C. Ramos and Mayo Bessan, his logical successor, and make their names inseparably linked with the highest order of enlightened and progressive citizenship.” The Secret Is Out Appreciating this somewhat grandiose compliment, Mayo Bessan, yielding to much insistence from those present, agreed to tell how this famous gin fizz is mixed. Here is what he said: “Its wiiite is represented by fresh sweet cream; its sweetness by powder ed sugar; a little tang is given by lime juice, while the bubbles come from the white of an egg. The “bouquet” comes from the orange flower water and the ‘kick’ of the concoction from ‘Old Tom' gin. Place all in a shaker of ice aud pass to the Mexican boy who shimmies as he shakes.” Mayo Bessan's patrons come from all stations in life, including such men as Portes Gil, president of Mexico tli.e late President Obregou, and they say that Will Rogers, enroute to Mexico City one day last year, stopped in at the Cadillac Bar and remained so long that he missed hits train.

AVIATION DRAWS STURENTS FROM RURAL CENTERS Chicago School Gets 97 Per Cent Os Enrollment From Villages Chlc/jgo, May J1 —(UP) —The romance in aviation, Its till Ills and its possibilities of the future, apparently appeal more strongly to the young men of the farm and small cities than to these who live in great urban centers. Os the 700 students enrolled at the Aviation Service and Transport school here, 97 per cent are from small towns and farms. The school boasts one of the largest enrollments in the country. As yet the possibilities In this comparatively new field of endeavor apparently have but slight appeal to women. Only four girls students are enrolled at this school, although several have been graduated in the past. The Aviation Service and Transport is oigatiized, according to its officers. primarily to introduce real flying training to the students. Kvecutives of the organization deplore flyby- night schools which have sprung up over the country and they are seeking to give a thorough course to the pupils, his policy too is followed by other of the better known schools in the nation. Tlie aviation service concern has a two story building here, divided int ovarious class rooms and work shops. Most of the students take their training at night, since many of them are working days. Ground Work 300 Hours They are given 300 hours of ground work before ever being taken into a plane for instruction. This class work requites a complete knowledge of all phases of flying, practicularly “what makes it go." They are required to dismantle and loassemble four different types of airplane motors; they are given thorough training in tlie const ruction of airplanes; classes in design dtaw plans for a plane and then built it. Damaged planes ate brought to the school and reconditioned and put back in the air. The instructors in the classes are men skilled in their particular branch of work, those who teach the mechanics of an engine haviug had extensive kork in that field, and so oil. The flying instructors ate skilled pilots. The school is using Commaudaire planes lot instruction purposes, believing those planes are better suited for instruction in that they have a high drg:ee of stiHiility and are so designed that the pupil has a clear view of everything the instructor does. Also the insti uctor, sitting in front, has a cord attached to the cnotrol stick used by the student and if the student “freezes" on the controls a yank on the cord, desingages the stick. The school has graduated several hundred students in the past two years, many of them going into the mechanical side of aviation. There is a scarcity of trained men who know airplane motors and airplane construction thoroughly, it is said.

DRY MOVE IS MADE IN MEXICO Mexico City, May 11—(UP) — The Mexican press is willing to support President Portos Gil’s anti-liquor campaign because It does not include the "Inhumane or repressive measures practiced In enforcing the dry law In the United States." Portes Gil is hopeful of being able to dry up Mexico by education against the evils of drink rather than by actual prohibition of liquor. The president’s plan of combatting alcohol is to find a substitute for It. He sees sports public entertainments, libraries and cultural activities as substitutes. For this program the press has expressed enthusiasm. lai I’rensa, (lie morning taldoid, with an immense circulation, says Portes Gil’s campaign is intelligent ami efficacious aud merits the co-operation of authorities in every section.

The first Intimation from Portes Gil that he was desirous of instituting u campaign against liquor was given to a group of American correspondents a few weeks after he had taken office as provisional president. Nothing more was heard of the plan then until midApril when the president, even though weightier and more troublesome problems such as the revolution were still unfinished, announced that he wus ready to start his scheme immediately thus, the order prohibiting the regrant lng of licenses to saloons which were once closed was made effective on the date of the announcement of the campaign.
