Newspaper Page TextView of the City (Trepans! kjr the National Oeographlo S.HH-ty, WuhinftoD. P. C.) MEXICO, closest Latin-American neighbor to the Unite J State. Is known In detail to few residents north of the Klo Grande. The average American, familiar enough with Canadian pro duces, would be hard put to tell wheth er Chiapas Is on the Pacific or Atlan tic; where Xayarit Is; If Campeche Is east or west; or oven to pronounce Aguaseallentes or to name Ave of the twentj-elght commonwealths of our neighbor republic. In Mexico also are two territories. One Is Lower California, dry, arid, mountainous and thinly populated. Fifteen hundred miles away from Lower California lies Mexico's other territory, Qulntana Roo. farthest south ted east It is common to think of Mexico as a great horn sprouting south from southwest United States. The po sition of the two Mexican territories punctures this geographic myth. Mex ico Is not a thin nation. It Is Just as wide as It Is long. While Its western most city Is Tiajuana, over the Inter national line from San Diego, Calif., the outermost point of the Yucatan peninsula lies as far tst as Indian spoils. The United States has one smaller state than Mexico's smallest Rhode Island Is 300 square miles smaller than Tlaxcala. which lies 50 miles east of Mexico City. Colima, a state on the Faclfic coast of Mexico directly west of the capital, measures less than Del aware. Hut the largest state of Mex ico. Chihuahua, across the border from New Mexico. Is much smaller than the American giant. Texas. It approxi mates Oregon, or Illinois and Indiana taken together. Toluca a Pleasure Resort. It was by a sign on the railway sta tion at Toluca that Lindbergh, on his first flight to Mexico. In 10V.7. finally found his position, ard then flew dl rectly Into Mexico Cltj The relations between Toluca and Mexico City might be compared roughly to those between Annapolis and Washington. Tolua Is the nearest state capital to the fed eral city, and Its state encloses the federal district Just as Maryland en closes the District of Columbia. Phys ically, however, the comparisons are not so close. Both Mexico City and Toluca lie on a high plateau and are surrounded by mountains. Situated 40 miles from Mexico City. Toluca Is visited by residents of the capital as a pleasure resort. If lies In one of the most beautiful "valleys" of the re public the Valley of Toluca. From this upland plain come the spirited Lulls for the bull rings of Mexico City. Cotter founded the city 12 years aft er the Conquest. U lies on part of the original grant made to the Con queror by the king of Spain. The state of Mexico, of which To luca is the capital, embrace both up land plains and mountains. Queretaro, the Delaware of Mexico, makes up for Its limited areas by the richness of Its mountains and valleys. The former contain minerals and the latter, deep layers of fertile, well-watered soil which grow pineapples, dates, bananas, pomegranate, figs, and lemons. Indian Names Revived. The states of Mexico were originally laid out to coincide roughly with the areas occupied by the Indian tribes which the Spaniards conquered. Then the conquerors apportioned the dis tricts among themselves. Thus Hern ando Cortez was "Marques del Vulle" of Oaxnen. As marques lie laid waste the Zapotec Indians' chief town, built a new city on the same Kite and named It Anlequera. after a town of Spain near Malaga. When Mexico won Its independence from Spain, the city remaned Us old Zapotec name, Huaxiacac (modilled In Spanish to Oaxnca) and the state took the name title. This is a story repeated with variations many times In Mexico. Although the ancient Aztecs, ,:ipo tecs and Mayas are responsible for the boundaries of modern states of Me. Ico, the borders often outline definite geographic units. There Is a classl licatlon bandy for Mexican states which our republic cannot use to ad vantage. In Mexico there are low Itates, high states and higher states. (The low states are the eastern sea tourd units from north to south, of Guanajuato. Tamaulipas, N'tievo I,oon. Vera Crui and Tabasco. The Yucatan peninsula group of Campeche, Yucatan and Qulntana Roo also hugs sea level. Facitlc coastal states are, for ths roost part, low states, too, but not as low as east coast states ; Sonora, Nay rlt, Colima, MIehoacan, Guerrero, Oat aca and Chiapas. Then coma the high states, that la, those which are 8,000 feet above sea level Chihuahua, Coahulla and Durango. The first two He la the Rio Grande basin between the wide-open arms of the mountain ranges that border the famous Valley of Mexico. Higher States Are Richest. South of Durango are the higher states, and. It may be added the small er, and the most populous and the richest states of Mexico. The average elevation of 11 states and the federal district Is more than a mile above sea level Orixaba peak, 12 miles south east of Mexico City, Is the key pin of a gigantic pair of dividers opened to a 00-degree angle. Each arm of the dividers Is a mountain range, the left arm connecting with the Rocky moun tains and the right losing Itself at Monterrey. Between the arms spreads the fer tile mile-high or higher region of blue lakes and fruitful valleys, elevated enough to have an equable climate. Just as the mountain ranges converge on Orizaba, so the trade routes con verge on Mexico City. Just as the United States has, In the state of Washington, a commonwealth named for the hero of Its Revolution, so Mexico has honored the father of Its freedom from Spain. Fadre XII dalito was a parish priest In Dolores, in the stale of Guanajuato, nntll he led the revolution In lslO. Dolorea has now become Dolores Hidalgo. III dulgo state is one of the most moun tainous in Mexico. Six ranges cross the relatively small area creating a maze of peaks and ridges. In this tangle of mountains are some of the heaviest mineral deposits In the re public. A nearby area of 8.000 square miles of the Valley of Mexico has been carved out to make the state of Hi dalgo. South of Mexico City, another relatively small state, Morelos, honort another hero of Mexico's war of Inde pendence. Three Important States. Straddling the Sierra Madre range running down the west coast of Mexi co, MIehoacan stnte Judiciously places one f"ot In the fertile valley of Mex ico and the other on the Pacific coast. But its valley acres, with sparkling lakes surrounded by farms, support the major part of Its population. To MIehoacan many traveled Americans go annually In the late fall, for the ! blue lakes beckon flocks of "American" w!Id ducks and geese wintering In tho 'Southland. Because of the variety of Its products MIehoacan earns high rank among Mexican states. It Is tin) greatest cereal growing state of tho republic, and. In addition, produces coffee, sugar, fruits, Tanllla, wine and tobacco. San I.uU PotosI Is one of Mexico's Inland states, consisting of a high and dry temperate plateau Intersected by a few deep tropical valleys. Where there Is sufficient rainfall there are large upland plantations of corn and cotton, and lr. the warm valleys coffee and sugar are grown. Cattle raisin? Is a chief Industry oif drier plains, and the mountainous districts are rich In gold and silver mines. The state Is In a very old settled region, figuring largely In the Spanish colonization scenes of the Sixteenth century. An Important railway connects the capital of the stute, a city of the same name, situated In the cool highlands, with the port of Tumplco on the Gulf of Mexico. The city of San Luis Fotosl contains a fine old cathedral and many quaint houses of Spanish colonial architecture. Vera Cruz Is the richest of Mexico's Gulf Coast states. It Is densely for ested, low-lying and tropical along the coastal plain, but splendid mountain ranges rise along the western border, From the forests come some of the world's costliest cabinet woods and plantations of the lowlands are rich In cotton, sugar, coffee, cacao and vanilla- P A ID? by Evelyn Campbell (Copyright by Kvelyn Omnplxll.)

He had nothing whatever to do with the liabilities or embarrassments of his clients. "The bookkeeper will forward the check to your address, Mrs. Both," !). said frigidly. And so Lli-dn nssured the manager of her hotel that he would hear from her within the week. She was giving up her rooms for good leaving New York. Politely asked for an address, she answered vaguely "Washington." She had been In Hint city many times, but now her heart beat as mnd ly as any slxteen yenr-oid's who gets her first peep at the world through the historic If utterly dull and pl- belnn hordes that migrate to and from the political center at every season. She had sent no word of her coming to the two men who would be Inter ested In seeing her. but twenty mln utes after her bags were brought up she telephoned Conve.-se to come t' her. Ills resonse was so pleased and triumphant thai she was smiling faint ly when she turned from the tele phone. When they met an hour Inter, he till wore the manner of victory, but this disappeared at her first words "I have given everything Into Stevens' hands," she said. "Soon the last bit of paper I possess will be gun and then you will be troubled with my poor IIMIe affairs no longer." She tried to speak lightly, disguising the meaning of tier words with mockery. Ills face altered at once, but nut with chagrin nither It was with a closing down of pleasantry, a lighten ing of every muscle In thai visage which beneath Its purple mask of flesh remained crafty and sinister.

She realized that she had made an error when she saw hltn start violent ly. She had angered him and he hud power. He repealed her words slowly. "So you would have paid me but not with the coin I wanted-from yon." ills glance truve'ed over ber ILL slowly and sho cringed before It. She wanted to say that this was pay mh sho had paid a hundred times In humiliation, but that would have gained her nothing. After a little while he became merciful und turned his eyes away. "I believed (hat you would turn to me some day," he said slowly, "Turn to you? No, no, I could not I" "If there hndu't been another man," he went on, tunelessly, "you'd have got over that feeling you have for inn repulsion, I suppose you'd cull l.

Oh, you you " She began fc sob. seeing bis face through a blur of tears. He laughed dryly. "You're defending your virtue no a woman can always do (hat, even when It's gone wrong.
