MEXICAN SECRETARY ARGUES DOMINION OF OIL BY GOVERNMENT

(Br Associated Press) . CHICAGO. Sept. 15. Nationalization of the underground oil of Mexico Is thoroughly justified. General J. B. Trvino. secretary of Industry, com

merce and labor In the Mexican government, declares In the September Issue of the Petroleum Magazine, pub

lished here today.

"Moviro'a rieht to pass laws nation

alizing the oil mines in accordance with the socialization of all means of production and distribution which are conducive to uphold the interest of public welfare and the right of the eovereignty of the state to direct domain" Is established, writes General Trevino. "To accuse this law as Immoral and unjust." he adds, "is to make war against the law of the land and against the institutions of the government. This war. whether waged by nationals or by foreigners, is antipatriotic and unjust." "If we consider the true condition

of the oil mines and make a deeper study of the situation and grant the ownership of the surface of the land and a perfect vertical dellmination of this land," he writes, "we would find that the owner of the surface may own all the minerals and all the oil directly under his soil, but not so under the eoil of any of his neighbors. But, inasmuch as petroleum lies in large underground lakes or deposits, It is Impossible to delimit physically these underground reservoirs In accordance with the ownership of the surface of the land. "It Is Illogical, therefore, to argue that these Interests have the right to the ownership of these deposits of petroleum in the subsoil of the nation simply because they have made geologic studies and have reared great plants to exploit the mineral reBources. "Mexico, endeavoring to enforce the nationalization of the mines, has used in no way any right that might In any sense hurt the rights of acquisition of the owners of the surface

of the soil, respecting their rights as ! institute

owners." General Trevino adds that "neither political science nor political economy, nor even jurisprudence, has been willing to concede the right of the natural resources of a nation to Individual ownership when these resources become the life of that nation. This principle of national ownership must be applied to oil. which has a fluid nature and travels in underground rivers which become ' impossible of physical delimitation."

Assail British Government

For Waste of Country's Funds (By Associated Press) LONDON. Sept. 15. British papers are printing almost daily examples of what they term the waste of public funds. A report Just Issued of the committee of Public Accounts sheds fresh light on the subject. Nearly $8,500,000 was involved, it appears, in the government's plan to finance the Russian General Alexieff Just before the bolshevik revolution brought about his collapse. Part of the plan

was to set up a Cossack State bank In Siberia, and for that purpose $2,500,000 was loaned to a Russian financier. But the bank was never set up and

the committee wants to know what became of the money. The Ministry of Munitions paid $12,250,000 for a plant begun in 1917 and which, when the war ended, was only half finished. For this outlay, the committee points out, the country received no benefit whatever except through the "stimulus to the steel trade." Waste of nearly $500,000 is charged by the committee to the admiralty on a scheme for establishing schools to train boys in pneumatic riveting.

Criminologists of America To Gather at Indianapolis INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 15. Reduction of crime and the prevention of the development of criminals will be the theme of most addresses to be delivered at the 12th annual meeting of the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology which opens here tomorrow night. Sessions will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Robert H. Gault, professor of psychology at Northwestern University and executive secretary of the institute expects that the question of public defense of those who are unable to

employ counsel or who are ignorant of the court system also will be an important subject for discussion. Professor Gault believes that this topic is of particular significance at this time because -of its relation to the activities of radicals and their attempts to create distrusts of the courts. The sessions of the institute will be opened tomorrow night with addresses by Governor James P. Goodrich, and Judge Hugo Pam, of the superior

court, of Chicago, president of the

KNOWLES TALKS ON CITY PLANNING AT GET-TOGETHER EVENT

"City planning means co-ordination of all interests in the community so as to develop a grouping of activities, with a complete organization, that will study the needs of a community and plan for future developments. City planning is not the 'City Beautiful'

alone. It Is the 'City Practical and

Useful.' It is to promote commerce.

Industry, health, safety and general

civic welfare, by well-directed growtn

Industrial and community welfare are interdependent. Failure to observe

the laws of growth means no future dividends." This was the theme about which Morris Knowles, president of the Morris Knowles Engineers, incorporated, of Pittsburgh, developed an illustrated

lecture on "A Program for City Planning and Its Practicability,' In the high school auditorium Tuesday night, under auspices of the Rotary club. Mr. Knowles said city planning was a practical economic proposition, and that every citizen should be interested in it, because it was merely another name for well directed growth of a municipality. His illustration showed the use to which many cities were

puting their commissions on city planning, and his data showed the great financial savings that had been made by many cities. Before the lecture, the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs held a "get-together" meeting in the high school gymnasium. The newly organized Kiwanis met at the St. Paul parish house and went in a body to the high school at

7:30 o'clock. After a general handshaking between the two organizations, the Kiwanis entertained the older organization with an anthem which lauded Preident Dr. J. J. Rae and Vice-President Ray Robinson, of the Rotary club. President Rea welcomed the Kiwanis into the field of civic endeavor. A large number of women were present, evidencing their interest in civic improvement. Mr. Knowles said. In part: "One of

This will Include such things as transportation, Including rail, water, street railway and Btreets; a study of thoroughfares, major and minor street systems and parking spaces. "Next will come municipal facilities, such as water, sewer and electric systems. Recreation plays an Important part. This includes such things as parks, playgrounds and boulevards. All of these subdivisions are co-ordinatlve, and have a bearing on each other. Then there are public policies and regulations such as zoning codes, building and sanitary codes, and special features such as housing, block

and lot subdivisions." Emphasizes Zoning Function Mr. Knowles stated that zoning is

because it stabilizes values, and well

planned growth will Increase the value of real estate and thus pay for itself. A city plan Is not fixed or permanent but must be considered each few years in the light of development. A practical city plan is to be obtained only by study, discussion with all of the civic associations united and represented upon a central committee which will work with the city government and city planning commission. Data and study are needed, but not for their own sake. A city plan is not

a specialty but a coordination of acti

vities and a comprehensive program

for advancement and betterment of

material facilities for every municipal and civic activity.

A feature of the Zem Zem club's celebration Friday will be the conferring on C. B. Duffin and Frank H"i'ani. the heads of the club, the "Order of the Caliph's Amulet," a decoration that is highly prized by Shriners who have received it. Full details can not be given for the reason that the cer

emonies are not public. i During the world war the Arab

tribes joined the British forces in military operations against the Turks, and their sweeping victory is now a matter of history. It was found to be a great problem to bring about the close co-operation of some of tho Moslem tribes of the desert, but the thing was done, it Is said, mainly through a reward planned for valorous conduct in battle. This reward took the form of a decoration which was conferred, at secret meetings, on those selected by the sheiks or leaders of the tribes The name of this Moslem decoration translated 'into English is the "Order of the Caliph's Amulet," and Is supposed to have been in honor of Harouu Al Raschid, the Caliph of Bagdad. Empowered to Bestow It. An Arab returning to this country from the war was empowered, so it is related, to bestow the mark of dis tinction in peace times, upon any he might regard worthy among the faith ful.

TAXPAYERS MUST PAY FEDERAL TAX WEDNESDAY Wednesday Is the last day on which taxpayers may pay their third Quarterly installment of the federal tax without the addition of a penalty. For lailure to pay by that day the payments for both the third and fourth quarters become due, together with the penalty on both quarters, according to William L. Elder, collector or internal revenue for Indiana. It is pointed out that the government permits the payment of the tax In four installments merely as a favor, and failure to pay on time automatically does away with the privilege of withholding the payment of the last quarter until December.

Doctors Stand Amazed at Power

of Bon-Opto to Make Weak Eyes Strong-According to Dr. Lewis Guarantee to Strengthen Eyesight 50 In One Week's Time in Many Instances

A Free PrencrlpUon You Can Have Filled and Use at Home Philadelphia, Pa.. Victims of eye trflln and nther pvfl wpakneaes. and

those who wear glases, will be glad to j know that according to Dr. Lewis there Is real hope and help for them. Manv whose eyes were falling say they !

have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man say, after using It: "1 was almost blind. Could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without my glases and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady who used It says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for 15 days everything seems clear. I can even read fine prhit without glases." Another who used it says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes which induced fierce headaches. 1 have worn glases for several years both for distance and work, and without them I could not read my own name on an envelope or the typewriting on the machine before me. I can do both now and have discarded my long distance glases altogether. I can count the fluttering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like a dim green blur to me. I cannot express my joy at what it has done for me." It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them In a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and ex

pense of ever getting glasses. Eye

troubes of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefitted by the usa of this prescription. Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of BonOpto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet In a fourth of a glass of water and let it dissolve. With this iquld bathe the eyes two or four times dally. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and In

flammation and redness will quickly disappear. If your eyes bother you even a little It Is your duty to take steps to save them now before It Is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have saved their sight If they had cared for their eyes in time. NOTE: Another prominent Physician to whom the above article was submitted, said: "Yes, the Bon-Opto prescription is truly a wonderful eye remedy. Its constituent Ingredients are well known to eminent eye specialists and widely prescribed by them. I have used It very successfully in my own practice on patients whose eyes were strained through overwork or misfit glases. I can highly recommend ft in case of weak, watery, aching, smarting, itching, burning eyes, red lids, blurred vision or for eyes Inflamed from exposure to smoke, sun. dust or wind. It is one of the very few preparations I feel should be kept on hand for regular use In almost every family.-" Bon-Opto. referred to above, is not a patent medicine or a secret remedy. It is an ethical preparation, the formula being printed on the package. The manufacturers guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent in one week's time in many instances or refund the money. It can be obtained from- any good druggist and is sold in this city by the leading druggists. Advertisement.
