NEW YORK, Dec. 21—Health fav-
ors the American farmer in middle life
and he is less subject to the degener-
ative diseases than are the workers
in other occupations it, was shown in
a study made by the research division
of the Milbank Memorial Fund.
The study was based on the physical
examination of 100,000 men engaged
in agriculture, professions, business
and skilled trades.
The farmer’s worst showing was in
diseases of the teeth and gums, said
the report, and after the age of 45
valvular heart lesions became pre-
valent. Arterial thickening and defects
of vision are less common among
farmers.

Mexico City.—A thousand roads and
byways led to the village of Guadalupe
Hidalgo recently, where Mexico’s
pious gathered at the shrine of Nues-
tra Senora de la Guadalupe to com-
memorate four centuries of her pat-
ronage.
The pilgrimage was in celberation
of the 400th anniversary of her reve-
lation on December 12, 1530, to Juan
Diego, lowly Indian, whom she gave
a miraculous image of herself on his
mantle to carry to his bishop, Zumar-
raga, as a symbol of her desire that
a shrine be erected on the spot. There
were five days of intensive celebration
and will be a year of observance.
Twenty thousand pilgrims, camped
about the shrine built in obedience to
that mandate, at midnight began filing
into the church to kneel and pray be-
fore the faded sacred relic: other thou-
sands converged on the shrine by rail-
road, airplane, afoot and on burro.
Some walked to the shrine on their
knees.
As the church doors opened for the
celebration, continuous masses were
begun before the shrine, which more
than anything else typifies the religion
of Mexico’s unlettered millions, the
bells of the church pealed and a bril-
liant display of fireworks was staged
from the towers of the edifice.
Conclusion of the five-day celebra-
tion saw the launching of plans for
the great Mexican religious pilgrim-
age to Rome and the Holy Land, be-
ginning March 9 and concluding July
8, 1931. The year of observance will
be ended, it is hoped, with a conver-
sation by telephone between the pope
and high church officials here.
The five days of celebration reached
their peak Sunday afternoon in a great
bull fight at the Mexico City bull ring,
the largest in the world, where eight
bulls were engaged by expert torea-
dors. Other ceremonies included the
great thanksgiving and worship at the
Basilica and excursions to nearby
churches and sacred places of Mexi-
can history.
It is difficult for the foreigner to
grasp the reverance Mexicans hold for
the Virgin of the Guadalupe, who to
them represents the guiding spirit of
everything worth while ever accom-
plished in Mexico. Mexicans believed
the Virgin ended disastrous floods and
earthquakes of centuries past, stopped
pestilence, guided the nation during
the struggle for independence, and
overthrew Maximilian.
Guadalupe Hidalgo during Aztec
days was known as Tepeyacac and still
is known as such to the Indians. It
later became the villa of Guadalupe,
and after the 810-1821 struggle foi
independence led by the priest Hidalgo,
attained its present name, given be-
cause Hidalgo led the revolt with a
sword in one hand and a picture of the
Virgin in the other.
The original cloth bearing the Vir-
gin’s image today is zealously guard-
ed within a thick glass case on the high
altar of the shrine and is the most
revered symbol in Mexico. The image
on the cloths is that of a beautiful In-
dian girl.
SOME GENERAL
NEWS
It is said that in the scope of its
operations, the oil industry is second
only to agriculture.
It employs more than 2,000,000
workers, has an invested capital of
$12,000,000,000 and wore than 2,250,-
000 stockholders. It pays in excess of
$100,000,000 anuually in taxes and its
gasoline customers, through the gas
tax, contributes over $500,000,000
more.
The industry produces a billion bar-
rels of crude oil a year and has devel-
oped an export trade amounting to
over $500,000,000 annually—one-tenth
of the nation’s entire foreign business.
In its relation to other industries oil
is likewise one of the major contribu-
tors to progress. It is one of the larg-
est purchasers of steel, iron, motor ve-
hicles, rope and the like. It is the sec-
ond largest buyer of ships and the
largest purchaser of tank cars. It
moves by rail a greater tonnage of
manufactured products than any other
industry. .
Yet oil is a young industry whose
history began within the memory of
living people. Its existence has been
characterized by a series of problems
each of which, up to the present, has
been successfsully solved. When more
fields were needed the industry found
them and when better products were
required the industry developed them.
Now it is working toward the solution
of the most important problem it has
yet faced—that of conservation of our
irreplaceable petroleum resources.
Transportation, employment, living
standards, indust ial development of
oil have played an invaluable role in all
of them.

IS YOUR FRIEND
IN WINTER
ICE preserves the food that you eat and
guards it against the dangers of sudden
variations in temperature so character-
istic of the winter months. Ice gives that
low, even temperature essential to keep-
ing foods fresh and wholesome.
Without the direct protection of pure ice,
the foods that you "put away" for later
meals are subject to rapid deterioration
due to the quick multiplication of bacteria.
Decide now that you will not go through
the winter without plenty of ice in your
refrigerator all the time. It pays for itself
In food saved. Order ice every day!
