SOUTHERN PACIFIC EXPECT TO
BEGIN NEW CONSTRCTION
WORK ON MAY 1.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. (Jp)—
A $14,000,000 bet! This was how an
official summarized the confidence
of the Southern Pacific interests in
the stability of conditions in Mexico
when in 1923 construction work was
begun to close the last gap in the
railroad line down the west coast of
Mexico to link the United States with
Mexico City.
Despite rumblings of recent days
in the Mexican republic the Southern
Pacific still holds to the hope that
about May 1 next, the south bound
tourist can enter his pullman in San
Francisco and leave it in Mexico.
The “wager” that was made, the
sum representing cost of the under
taking, involved building of 103 miles
of road bed between Tepic and Guad
alajard to complete rail transit
through more than 700 miles of rug
nels and an equal necessitated cross
ged wilderness. There are 35 tun
ing 15 large rivers; going over or
under many great mountains; the
bridging or filling of numerous vast
■chasms. Nature was not the only
obstacle. There was the bandit, the
insurrectionist and the disturbed pol
itical conditions of the nation. Then
there was the heat and the temper
mental native laborer to be reckoned
with.
Between Tepic and La Quemada
are a number of viaducts. These
make possible maintaining a maxi
mum grade of 1.5 with no curve
greater than six degrees.
While there have been killings and
loss of payrolls due to outlawry and
other disheartening handicaps attri
butable to political insecurity, the
work has gone steadily ahead since
President Obregon turned the first
spadeful of dirt on March 5, four
years ago.
Victor Fossum was among the ar
rivals in the city last evening to
await the arrival of the halibut fleet,
which he will join.
“Lucky” Baldwin, grocer, whose
condition has been poor for some days
past, left for Anchorage today where
he will enter the Government hospital.
RADIO SPARKS
THE THEORY EXPLAINED
Most variations in radio reception
develop outside the set, provided the
radioist keeps his batteries in rea
sonably constant condition. Recently
an owner was disturbed because he
could not cut out a local station in
order to tune for an out-of-town
broadcaster who takes the ether on a
very similar wave length. The rad
ioist suspected that his set was be
coming less selective, especially
since the out-of-town station had
been increased in power.
What he failed to consider was the
fact that the local station also had
been given a power boost. This ac
counts for the inability of the set to
drown out the local without the use
of a wave trap and explained the
variation in reception.

No Sport Clothes for Evening
The Duchess of York has put her
royal foot down on the increasing
custom of wearing sport clothing in
the evening. The Duchess believes
in smarter dress for the smarter set,
and she has set the fashion.
The Duchess, wife of King George’s
second son, after sporting events has
appeared in a complete change.
Sport clothes therefore are all right
up until tea time in London society
circles, but are tabooed for evening
wear, except in the country, during
hunts or other most imformal affairs.
