"We flew from Nogales to Ma zatlan and spent some time at Guadalajara," she said.. The progress being made there in construction of dams, lakes and highways represents a remark able awakening. "But they still have mules and burro." in place of modern trac tors, although they are beginning to use gasoline engines for much of their work."

The siesta, between 2 and 4 in the afternoon, is one ceremony that everyone observes, and the mar kets and stores are deserted dur ing this period. The peasants, she adds, bring their own produce to market to offer for sale. In every other respect, the life of the people is not different from that in our own country. Food and lodging are somewhat cheaper, but the quality and ac commodations are similar to our own. The buses and the buildings are modern for the most part, and people dress largely as we do. She called attention to the fact that an estimated 2,000 "re tired" Americans are now livin in Guadalajara, where the coun try club has become a center of activity. nn evTiiHit in Achlanrl during the state convention there of the B.P.O.E.
