B. E1DRED Associated Prew SUff Writer LAREDO, Jan. 6. quarter million Mexican immigrants who found themselves unable to cope with stringent economic conditions in the United States have returned to their homeland and many more on their way.

Mexican immigration to the United States has dwindled to the point where it is negligible. Wage Appeal Ceases Wage Incentives which caused American industrial and agricultural to be flooded with cheap labor in the prosperous twenties "have vanished and the issuance ol passport visas has been curtailed sharply, with the result that fewer than 1,000 Mexicans migrated to-the United States last year.

The business boom changed the situation. Mexicans swarmed into the steel mills of the middle west, factories of the east, southern cotton fields, the beet fields of Minnesota and Colorado, railroad section gangs, western mines, highway crews and the fruit groves of California. Jobs Were Plentiful American employers drew freely on this source of labor which was willing to work for less than native workers. In many instances industrial and agricultural employers paid the cost of transporting Mexicans from the border and agents went into Mexico offering jobs as inducement to potential immigrants, The abrupt downswing of the economic cycle in 1930. however, precipitated one of the greatest voluntary repatriation movements in the history of the American continent.

Mexicans found themselves unable to compete for available jobs and destitution followed. Transportation Famished American relief agencies provided transportation, olten by the trainload, back to the border.

"There's A Hot Time In Old Town" 'Phone At Central Fire Station "Rings Off The Wall" As Wailing Sirens Are Heard And Hubbies Get Anxious RRING! B-r-r-r-ing! B-r-r-ring! The 'phone at Central fire station "rings off the wall" for, with wailing sirens the company has just whizzed and whanged through downtown Lubbock in answer to an alarm. Workers run from stores to sidewalks.

Anxious husbands poke their heads from office windows. And a good percentage of them say: Better Find Out "Doggone! They're running out toward my house. Mebbe I'd better find out where it is!" "Scads' of phone calls tumble across the wires immediately after the fire fighters start for the scene of a blaze, says Fire Chief W. Ed Twitty. "but they don't cause much trouble.

Fact is, there is just one man left on duty at Central station after an alarm is answered and he is usually so busy he has little time Widely-Known Texas Jurist It Buried This Afternoon COBSICANA. Jan. 5 (Ay-Judge Hawkins Scarborough, 48, died this afternoon. He had been ill for a short time.

Telephone operators stand by when an answer to a buzz on their board says, "Fire Department!" Miss Lois'Stuart, chief operator in Lubbock explained. Every caller is questioned: "Do you wish to report a fire?" Signal Is Given If the answer is "yes," a signal is sent to the supervising operator as the fire department number is connected. Should the operator get a busy signal, she stays on the line constantly, securing the address of the fire and assuring the excited informant she will notify the fire department. Then, both operator and supervisor are kept busy for awhile as they aid in spreading the alarm.

In some large cities a. special alarm signal rings in the fire station when telephone operator is informed the caller does "wish to report a fire."
