and they say they will have to draw
the line some time, and it is only a
question as to how soon.
When they tell these people they can

then will the suffering actually begin,
and it will certainly require good deal
of outside assistance to help tide these
people over until ther get work.
Contributions are coming in, but not

to see them. It has been decided not to

much more courage and facility than
men. And DR.. Mela adds that men
swoon under the dentists hands much
moro frequently than women. From
these facts the professors con clude
that women are physically less sensl-
tive than men. But should we not
much rather conclude that women
have . greater power of self-control
In suffering or, in fact, in any emo

are not convincing. Before deciding

that it could be successfully carried

Of course, a treaty would be neces.

to be carried on, but as both Mexico
and the United States would benefit
vastly by the redemption of the arid
lands that could be watcred by the
river there would probably be no op-
position made to such an agreement.
