ger wa NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1929, CUBN DANGEHALL MENACE COMBATED Cheap Dives in Chinatown Are Closed at Havana Havana, April 12 (®—Havana is having its night club growing pains. Legislators view the increase in|g number of cabarets in various lights —as a menace to minors, as an at- traction for tourist dollars, as breed- ers of vice. While they scratch heads over the problem of ridding the town of those resorts that cause scandal, without interfering with the more luxurious places, joy-loving Cubans cheerfully feed indiscrimin- ate dollars into the night club grist. Most recent of munfcipal and fed- eral government attempts to classify cabarets and close certain types was Mayor Miguel Mariano Gomez's wholesale padlocking of so-called *“dancing academies” in the China- town district. His sccret service men toid him—what every casual tourist knows—that the cabarets with a 20 cent entrance fee, no cou- vert cherge, and unbounded dancing opportunities, are nightly crowded with minors. g He put the lid on tight, and since that date has been listening to the incessant wail of proprietors who protest discrimination against their cheap prices, while the more ornate clubs with regular hostesses and high prices, are allowed to operate unmolested. The answer to the problem, as one gupper club lawyer sees it, is to make public outcry or public scandal | | the only cause for padlock. There are those, however, claiming public welfare as their motive, ready to | reply that there is never any notice- able outery or public scandal in a Havana cabaret, that gang warfare || is unknown, but that, nevertheless, all supper clubs constitute a seduc- tive influence towards the downfall of youth, HOOVER CHEERING SAVED HIS LIFE American Caught in Mexican Rebel Trap Gets Out Mexico City, April 12 (®—Cheer- || ing for Hoover on the day the presi- dent of the United States was in- auvgurated possibly saved the life of an American in Mexico. It is always important in Mexico | oo to know the right thing to say when a sentry challenges, but during a revolutionary perfod the importance | 4 of hefng able to say the right thing || at the right time cannot be overesti- | } mated. It can easily become a life or death matter if the wrong words || are spoken. An American who spoke little Spanish, but understood Mexican ways, left Mexico City the morning of March 3, the day the present revolution broke out, ¢n route to El While passing through Tor- ing the passengers. A vicious-looking rebel officer, trailed by a squad of soldiers looking | | not unlike a firing squad, stopped | g before the American. “Quien Vive?" suddenly boomed forth the officer with terrifying scowl. It was a moment of vast uncer- tainty. Upon the right answer, it | & might be, depended life itsclf. The American had no idea who the rebel leaders were, and the name of one of them was the password called for. Of a dozen Mexican names which he | | could recall, possibly one or two would he the correct password. He || hesitated, then came a stroke of 5. ve Hoover!” he shouted, and answered with a and the joyous words: “Es Verdad.” Within a few hours the American had crossed the danger zone and was well on his way to El Paso where he arfived the next day to find that Hoover had ratified President | Coolidge’s policy of recognition of de | 4 facto governments, It was virtvally a death blow to the Mexican revo- lution, and the realization ca hat to have responded twenty-four hours been like shouting: AMOTHER'S should be the care of her little one's constitutional \\' habits during childhood.
