Credit for the B. E. F.'s good behavior went principally to 34-year-old Walter W. Waters, originator of the Washington march, who was selected last week as the B. E. F.'s commander-in-chief. Tall, lean, sunburned, Waters first saw service on the Mexican border. Then he went overseas as a sergeant for nearly two years with the 146th Field Artillery. Mustered out, he married a blonde slip of a girl from Valparaiso, Ind., took her to Oregon where he worked as superintendent of a canning factory, had a house...
...thing for the Mexican Federal Government to expropriate property belonging to foreigners. But suddenly last week the whole Press of Mexico City joined in pointing out that for a mere Mexican state to snatch gringo capitalists' belongings is quite another thing, stupid and unconstitutional. Prominently the great independent daily El Universal featured an editorial from the New York Herald Tribune remarking how wrong it was for Governor Bartolome Vargas Lugo of the State of Hidalgo to seize a $300,000 cement plant from its British owners (TIME, June 6).

Muralist Orozco summoned his assistant, Master Plasterer Juan Jorge Crespo, and went to work. They produced a fresco in vibrant Mexican color entitled "Man Released from the Mechanistic." It showed a mass of broken machinery-cannon, gears, buzzsaws, bayonets and distilling worms-out of which is arising a naked youth with a cauliflower ear and a bright shoe-button...
...original Revelers. Only two are: Lewis James, the quartet's genial second tenor who comes from Ypsilanti, Mich., is good enough to solo some times with Manhattan's Philharmonic; Wilfred Glenn, square-set, sandy-haired bass who grew up on a Mexican ranch. Pianist Frank Black joined the Revelers in 1925, started making the smooth arrange ments which make Revelers sound better than other male quartets. The two new Revelers still look like good-natured college boys: Baritone Phil Dewey, who not long ago was earning $3 a Sunday singing in the Methodist Church choir of Bloomington...
