Thomai United Press Correspondent. Mexico City (U.R) Taxicab drivers are weeping, restaurant owners are gleefully contem plating new business and Juan Public appears to have suffered a stiff blow to the digestive system as a result of a govern ment decree which outlaws the time-honored custom of taking a two or three hour "siesta" at midday. The "siesta" a combination of resting and eating will dis appear from the Mexican way of life on June 1 for all of the 2,000,000 inhabitants of the Federal District. The substitution of "horas corridas" (literally, continuous hours), with a half to an hour off for lunch, as of June 1, was decreed because the prac tice has proved beneficial to the populations in almost every city of the world. Blow To Taxi Trade But the "libre" (taxi) driver looks to It as a blow to his midday trade, when workers ordinarily would go home to lunch. The restaurant owners, already doing more midday business than they ever en joyed before, will now have the job of feeding many more thousands of mouths. Juan Public is faced with the task of trying to. gulp down his usual five-to-seven-course mid- OUR GREATEST AIM : . : Is to be helpful to all who engage us We try to satiety all by the manner in which every detail is handled. LADY ATTENDANT PERL FUNERAL HOME John A. It Frank Perl Ambulance Service PHONE 2675 after work to devote himself to cultural and athletic pursuits and to strengthening the family ties. It begins to appear as though Juan Public will have no other course .than to modify his at lng habits to conform with the new law that is, eat a bit more for breakfast, considerably less than he does for lunch and vio late all the rules of eating at this high altitude (7,500 feet) by eating an American-sized supper. The impossibility of attemptr ing to pack a typical Mexican 'lunch" into a lunchbox is fa miliar to anyone who has tried to down one of these long winded affairs from rice to beans. All-Day Shopping The government decree de clared it "of public interest" that dining halls and recreation rooms be established on the premises of banks, business houses, factories, etc., affected by the decree. But it appeared doubtful that the employers could construct adequate lunch rooms for employees in crowd ed downtown Mexico City by June 1. Thus, the abolishing of the siesta a firmly entrenched cus tom in Mexico since the Aztecs held the whip hand promises to revolutionize the Mexican way of life. One effect of the decree that will undoubtedly be accepted with enthusiasm by the thou sands of American tourists that flock Into the capital every week is he fact that they will be able to shop all day long, Just as though they were at home. Mexico City shops will no longer lower the steel cur tains in front of the display windows between 1 p. m. and 3 p. m. every afternoon. Travel agencies must rewrite many of their handbooks, delet ing the tempting references to the delightfulness of the siesta. Dr.'Walt Hoppe To Discuss Penicillin Capt.
