MEXICO FAGES A BRIGHT NEW YEAR Peace and ~ Commercial De- velopment Are Forecasted Mexico City, Jan. 13.--Three out- standing events in Mexico in 1929 cleared the political atmosphere and present a bright new year outlook such as was not forescen by the most optimistic a year ago. Mexico faces a new year of pros- pective peace, increasing internal confidence and commercial develop- ment and moderate prosperity. These result from the overthrow of the Es- cobar revolution last spring, settle- ment of the religious difficulties, and the peaceful presidential election '-- the significant events of the closing Year. The closing months of 1929 have beech distinctly different from the be- ginning of the year, which started with bloodshed, executions, attempt- ed presidential bombings and revolu- . tionary rumblings which materialized in. March, but which were quickly suppressed. Quiet now is reported by the gov- ernment throughout the nation. No concern is felt by authorities here at efforts of elements disgruntled by the November election to create trou- ble. It is believed the overwhelm- ing majority of the people are tired of disorder and bloodshed and desire to get down to the business of work- ing out the country's salvation. Disturbances may occur during the new year but government officials believe they will be isolated, lack popular support, and quickly be sup- pressed by an army that today is bet- ter equipped, better disciplined and more loyal than at any time in twen- ty years. .

A woman and man were cursh- ed to death in their bed at High Wycombe when a chimney crashed through the roof. The Admiralty announced 20 men lost their lives when the Naval Tug H.M.S.

Fears were expressed that the scope of the calamity may not yet have been revealed entirely as further rero-ts of d.mage trickled in steadily.

INVENTION WILL ELIMINATE FATAL New Device Affixed on Ex- haust Prevents Discharge of Gas New York, N.Y, Jan to climinate the deadly carbon mon oxide which is the poisonous consti- | tuent of automobile exhaust gases ha been discovered by Dr, J. C. W, Fra- | zer, chairman of the Department of | Chemistry of Johns Hopkins ( niver sity. Dr. Frazer announces that tests have demonstrated that an auto- mobile equipped with the mewly-dis covered agency can be left indefini te Iv in a closed garage with the engin running without liberating carbon | monoxide, or any other gas da ous to human life, Such an inven- tion if universally applied to auto- mobiles, would make as sphyxiation from exhaust gases utterly impossible and so remove a hazard whic h causes | hundreds of deaths annually Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion: of fuel in the automobile motor, Dr, Frazer's | discovery is a catalyst, a substance in | the presence of which the carbon | monoxide gas of the automobile ex- haust is completely burned to fi harmless carbon dioxide, all of the gases theh passing into the atmos- phere. Air is mixed with the exhaust | gases from the cngine and the | ture is led over a bed of the lyst, The catalyst is of such power that it not only changes carbon monoxid¢ to harmless carbon dioxide, but burns all exhaust residue including the of- tensive odors common to city streets A suitable catalyst for carbon mon- oxide combustion has been sought for some' time. The present discov- ery is to a certain extent the out- growth of work carried out during the war for the Chemical Wa ; Service. The necessity for protec men operating the guns in closed tur- rets from the deadly carbon mon- oxide gas produced during the firing of guns led to the development of a catalyst used in gunners' gas masks. The catalyst devised for that pur- pose wak very effective and is still used by the navy. Jut the catalyst which has proved so successful in gas masks was in- capable of operating under the con- ditions imposed by direct contact with hot automobile gases.

YOUTHS FIGHT ON STREET, BOTH ARE FINED BY COURT Sister's Boy oy Friend And Brother Come to Blows Sanders and Lorenzo Wakely, aged 19 and 17 respec- tively, were each fined $1 and costs as the result of a fight which occurred near LaSalle avenue, several days ago. Sanders was charged with asaulting Wakely but Magistrate Willis decided from the evidence that both youths were to blame. The case was the direct result of bad feeling which had arisen be- tween the Sanders and Wakely families due to the fact that Mr. and Mrs, Wakely object to the Sanders lad keeping company. with their 15-year-old daughter. Evi- dently the two lads had had some words on the subject and Sanders threatened to smash. young Wake- ly's fact if his sister was punished for keeping company with him. Wakely is said to have told the ardent suitor that he had a yellow streak. The two met on the street and Sanders demanded an apology.
