VATICAN AND
MEXICO AGREE
V
Content of Pope Needed To
Effect Pact Same As
Last Year’s
MEXICO CITY. June 19.—(>P)—
The Mexican government and
emissaries of the Vatican have
agreed upon a basis of settlement
of the Mexican religious contro-
versy. Approval of the Pope today
was all that was needed to make
the agrc::'ent effective and permit
an Episcopal order returning the
priests to Mexican churches.
The settlement as arrived at by
President Portes Oil and Arch-
bishop Leonoldo Ruiz y Flores of
Mlchoacan and Bishop Pascual
Diaz of Tabasco with Ambassador
Morrow as Intermediary does not
Involve constitutional changes but
merely a broader Interpretation of
the religious laws and their consti-
tutional background.
The agreement is similar if not
Indeed. Identical to that reached
last year In negotiations between
President Calles and Archbishop
Ruiz which had their beginning in
a secret meeting in the old fortress
at San Juan de Ulua. island in
the harbor of Vera Cruz. Vatican
approval at that time was delayed
until In July the assassination of
General Alvaro Obregon. president-
elect. with ensuing charges of Ro-
man Catholic participation compli-
cated the situation.
The settlement was reached Mon-
day in the course of conferences
between Ambassador Morrow' and
President Portes Gil. and Ambas-
sador Morrow and the two Mexican
bishops Monday night a cable-
gram containing its terms was sent
to Pope Pius at Vatican City.
An authoritative source stated to-
day that unless the Vatican rati-
fied the present settlement and
acts quickly on it. there is not
much possibility that anything fur-
ther will be accomplished toward
settlement for some time to come.

lar. Lower right mushrooms ready for market.
WASHINGTON June 1<—<{p\—
Caesar didn't know as much about
his favorite dish as Vera K. Charles
associate pathologist in the bureau
of plant industry.
When the Roman emperor want-
ed to feast some of his conquering
generals or to make up with Calpur-
nia he sent his fleetest couriers
. scouting for mushrooms.
The semi-mysterious fungus was
a rare and delectable dish and Cae-
sar never had as much of it as he
wanted. He didn't know the secrets
of mushrom culture.
Miss Charles does. She has been
delving into them for 25 years and
anything she doesn't know about
mushrooms nobody ever has known.
There are no colleges or other in-
stitutions giving instructions on
mushroom culture end the grower
must learn from personal experi-
enceence or listen to the words of
Uncle Sam's authority.
‘ The formula for successful mush-
room growing." she says it ‘‘may
be given as good manure pure

churches has enrolled 233 students
according to Miss Rowena Dickey
director of the school. This figure

spawn a constant given tempera-
ture together with faithful atten-
tion to detail. Only with this com-
bination can the door to successful
mushroom growing be opened."
Although commercial mushroom
cultivation in "forth America is
confined to a comparatively few
growers located principally in the
east many persons *re interested in
producing them for home consump-
tion or commercially to a limited
extent. They can be grown in al-
most any section of the country'
where proper conditions are obtain-
able.
Mushrooms long have been
shrouded in an air of mystery b»-
emuse they grow under such appar-
ently unnatural conditions. They
do not require sunshine or even
light so essential to most crops.
Dark cellars caves and especial-
ly constructed nurseries are used in
commercial production. Some vari-
eties of mushroms grow in the open
near decayed wood or around old
orchards. In England they are
grown very commonly in the light.

Talks of MacDonald
And Dawes Seen as
Start of Arms Treaty
LONDON. June 19.—(JPh-*Qreat
Britain today expectantly awaited
the next move toward closer rap-
proachment with the United States
after simultaneous speeches last
night by Ambassador Dawes anil
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon-
ald. stressing friendship of the two
nations and paving the way for
naval reductions.
The speeches of Ambassador
Dawes before the Pilgrims’ Society
and of the prime minister beic-e
th town council of his native vil-
lage of Lossiemouth. Scotland were
clothed in generalities and presum-
ably were purposely vague. But
few doubted more concrete pro-
posals. probably for a meeting on
naval disarmament would be
forthcoming soon.
The premier and ambassador
themselves in their announcement
of the speeches Sunday at Forres
Scotland said the simultaneous ad-
dresses might be considered as the
beginning of negotiations on dw-
armament.
Beginning of Pact
The British premier at Lossie-
mouth spoke only briefly on the
Anglo-American situation fina’iy
declaring that no negotiations
would be entered into without pos-
sible participation of every coun-
try concerned.
Ambassador Dawes after declar-
ing an agreement on naval reduc-
tion was the next logical follow to
the Kellogg anti-war treaty set
forth a highly reasoned argument
for a conference of statesmen to
reach such an agreement rather
than of naval experts who. he said
were more Interested In naval
maintenance than naval reduction.
The experts* task in the next
negotiations. General Dawes said
would be to fix upon a "naval yard-
stick" or standard of equivalent
naval values reconciling such dl- I
vcrgent factors as age displace-
ment gun elevation etc. With'
such a "yardstick." he said the
statesmen could work.
Huge Financial Burden
The ambassador mentioned the
huge financial burden carrying out
present naval building programs ]
would inflict upon nations saying
the authorized contemplated naval
program of the United States alone
amounts to $1170800000. »-
He then went Into the roles play-
ed by financial experts in the rep-
arations and similar conferences
and developed the proposition that
whereas they were necessary to the
success of those conferences they
would Impair rather than abet
progress if they played similar
parts in a naval conference.
