DON'T KNOW IT ALlT"
Every year in the month of
August unusual movements of
the earth are noted through-
out the world. Strange, uncon-
trolable forces cause disaster
in all parts of tne universe.
As yet these movements are
unexplained to the satisfaction
of the average human mind.
The enlightment of present
da.V civilization sometimes
leads us to believe that the
task of conquering nature is
aim'si complete. Automobilesj
have reached almost inacces-l
sable place.s. Airplane have,
soared safely }>.C ')ss the At-
lantic. Machiner , fashioned.
by the inventive milt ' of men,
control the natural < ices of
the earth to serve humanity.
But there is much yet to be
done in conquering nature.
Last night local star gazers
claim that five stars fell in
rapid succession leaving a
palh of fire as they came
downward. In Europe last
night an island disappeared
following the eruption of a
• olcano with the estimated
oil of live« reaching almost
,000 persons. Along the coast,
of Florida a 60-mile gale has
caused enormous property
damage, and throughout the
entire world similar disasters
are reported.
The mind of man is power-
ful and the miracles it has
wrought represent the sensa-
tional history of the world.
Yet, we have not learned all.
The mysteries of the stars, the
moon, the sun and the air
currents with their unusual
pranks remind us that a pow-
er which is too arreat for the
human mind to visualize rules
the world. In future years we
may learn more of these my-
steries and control other forc-
es which will make achieve-
ments of the past seem mere
trifles.

Their sudden emergence may seem

political and social life.
Strangely enough, we know much
less about the internal affairs of

If lite disappearance comes by

his interests. That sort of tiling tool;

The two Agrarian leaders, .Man
rioue and Soto y Gama, happen to
bt men of Impeccable personal char-
acter, but they are intensely devot-
ed to their cause.
Manrique was a former governor
I of San Luis Potosi, one of the lead-
! inf.' Mexican states, in the early days
I of the Calles administration. Soto i k

of Ihe two. His passion for social
justice was aroused during the Ma-
dero movement.
The story of his governorship of
San Luis Potosi is remarkable. Al-
most as ascetic in his personal hab-
its, he determined to create the ideal
stale of which ho had drqained for
years. It didn't work.
Pulque is the curse of peasants
of the Mexican highlands. Manriquo
determined lo stamp out the habits j
of centuries overnight. He institut-j
