the approval Of the governor.
The antis are working hard to pre-
vent this situation, but as the pros
are In the majority in both branches
of the legislature. it begins TO look
as IL they will succeed in their pur-
pose This means that in the event
the new districts are arranged the way

Probe Money Unavailable.
The contingent expense bill is now
before the governor for approval or
disapprovai. the senate having con-
Cured in the house amendment. This
amendment is nothing more nor less
than the house sbilE which reduces the
appropriation from $4,000 to $4,000.
Contrary to general impression, the
governor is expected not to approve
or disapprove the measure, but Will
file it in the state department and al
low it TO become law within 80 days
after adjournment This means that
there will be no funds available for
the payment OF the expenses of the

This decision, not to veto the bill, 1t
is said, was reached by. the governor
after a conference with friends, in

AS the contingent expenses of a
special session are close onto $4,000.

BY This Means Presence Of the Dread

unit, the disease is too far advanced
TO be controlled by any means now
known.
Recently new hope has been given
to victims Of this dread disease by in
struments In the X-ray apparatus
which make the instrument capable OF
revealing to its operator the very
earliest appearance of the germs OF
consumption.
So accurate have been the results
obtained that careful X-ray examina-
tion Of the chest Is now the routine
treatment for all new lung cases, the
symptoms Of which give the slightest
difficulty to the examining physicians
In the receiving wards.
The patient takes his place on bi-
cycle seat fixed on a pedestal. Close
to his back, In large black box
which can be raised or lowered, or
swung to one side or the other, by
delicate system Of balancing weights,
is the X-ray tube. All but a small
area Of its luminous surface Is pro-
tected by lead glass screen, SO that
only narrow stream of light falls on
the patients back. When the patient
Is In position the examiner puts on a
pair of thick lead glass spectacles to
protect his eyes, pulls over his hands
large pair of lead impregnated
gloves, and wheels into position be-

With a movement of his foot he
touches a button and the room Is In
absolute darkness. Then he waits
ten minutes until his eyes get used to

taught that after the eyes have be-
come thoroughly accustomed to the
presence of white light the sensibility
of the retina to the light OF the fiuor-

The failure of any portion Of the
lung to brighten evenly with the rest

He rhouaht II Was a Kindness.

night last week l met man who l

the influence of liquor. I decided to
send him home. knew that he lived
on Westminster avenue, so l got him
on q Woodward avenue car, paid his
fare and told the conductor to put him
off at that street. l met him for the
first time since then just a few min
utes ago. l laughingly reminded him
of the favor I had done him.
"'Oh, 1t was you, was it?' he said.
Well, hereafter I'll thank you to mind
your own business. You shipped me
out to Westminster avenue and l wan

Literary Vaudeville.

A New England admirer of Longfel.
low proposes that the afternoon of
February 27 of each year be set aside
in the public schools as time to give
special attention to the poets life and
works. Longfellow was doubtless a
great American poet, but he already
has sufficient place in the schools by
being represented in every reader put
forth since he lived and wrought. And
there is already too much foolishness
in the schools, and too little reading,
writing and arithmetic. Unless this
tendency toward holidays and special
days in schools comes to an end soon.
1t will be necessary for teachers to
take a course in vaudeville to provide
the needed variety, and about all the
children will take is a vacation.--~At

Woman Suffrage Plea.

"The feministic movement today Is
the last stage in the struggle upward.
Woman proposes no longer to be just
the pet, the idol, the slave, the queen;
she Wills to be the equal Of man; she
feels in herself that power, and she
now claims her birthright. Civiliza-
ton as we know 1t has meant the
moving upward to light Of one social
qualification after the other. The
French revolution meant the upheaval
of the lowest stratum. Our own move
ment is the final step In the achieving
of complete democracy. Democracy
Is averse to war. A whole people
does not flame up In hate against an
other people. 1t needs the incendiar-
ism Of the few or the brutal autoc-
racy Of one to force conflict. The
Roman republic is not counter-argu-
ment My democracy is democracy
of millions, not Of thousands. And
the millions, who know how painfully
they have to piece together all the lit
tie elements that go to make up
life, are not disposed to smash and
destroy their handiwork. Madeleine

"You mean about the Underwood
case?"
Alicia nodded
Yes, Mr. Jeffries is terribly upset.
AS if the coming trial and all the rest
of the scandal were not enough. But
now we have to face something even
worse, something that affects me even
more than my husband. Really, I'm
frantic about it"
What's happened now?" asked the
lawyer calmly.

"Just think" she cried. "the name,

Judge Brewster frowned.
"Yes," he replied. "She comes here
every day regularly. She literally

"I should think that you would have

The lawyer was silent and toyed
somewhat nervously with the paper
cutter, as If not quite decided as to
what response to make. He coughed
and fused with the papers on the
desk.
why don't you have her put out of
the Officer" she repeated
The judge looked up. There was
an expression in his face that might
have been interpreted as one of an
noyance, as If he rather resented this
intrusion into his business affairs,
but Mrs. Jeffries, Sr., was too i'm
portant client to quarrel with, so
he merely said:
Frankly, Mrs. Jeffries, if it were
not for the fact that Mr.. Jeffries has
exacted from me a promise not to
take up this case, l should be tempted
to-consider the matter In the first
place, you know l always liked How
ard. / saw a good deal of him before
your marriage to Mr.. Jeffries. He
was always wild, unmanageable
boy, weak in character, but he had
many lovable traits. l am very sorry,
indeed, to see him in such a terrible
position. 1t was hard for me to real
ize 1t and l should never have be-
lieved him guilty had he not con-
fessed to the crime"
Yes" she assented. "It is an aw-
full thing and a terrible blow to his
father. OF course, he has had moth
ing to do with Howard for months.
AS you know, he turned him out of
doors long ago, but the disgrace is
none the less overwhelming.
The lawyer looked out OF the win
dow and drummed his fingers on the
arm of his chair. Suddenly wheeling
round, and facing his client, he said:
"You know this girl he married is
no ordinary woman"
"Oh!" she exclaimed, sarcastically
"She has succeeded in arousing your
sympathy"

interests me from purely profession

confession, don't believe he COM

Alicia changed color and, shifting
uneasily on her chair, scrutinized the
lawyers face. What was behind that
calm. inscrutable mask? What theory
had he formed? One newspaper had
suggested suicide. She might herself
come forward and declare that Rob
ert Underwood had threatened to
take his own life, but how could she
face the scandal which such a course
would involve? She would have to
admit visiting Underwood's rooms at
midnight alone. That surely would
ruin her in the eyes not only of her
husband, but of the whole world. If
this sacrifice of her good name were
necessary to save an innocent mans
life, perhaps she might summon up

From Chihuahua Mex Enterprise.
The last issue Of the Enterprise
spoke in q somewhat light vein of the
novelty Of being deprived Of almost
everything that goes TO make up the
normal life of a modern city.
Today we are confronted with sit
uation more grim. In another column
OF this paper our merchants and en-
ployers of labor tell us that there is
at most only six weeks supply OF coal
on hand, and that the supply Of pro-
visions viii be exhausted before many
weeks
What is the government Of the re-
public doing in this fast approaching
crisis?
Since Revolution raised it's head in
this state months ago. thousands Of
soldiers have poured into Chihuahua,
and with all the equipment Of modern
warfare have gone out to meet the
banded insurrectos.
What is the result? Today, almost
unmolested, the forces OF revolution
patrol the entire state; the capital city,
with It's industries paralyzed, most of
its operatives idle, faces a famine.
Outside chihuahua stands the grim
and menacing figure OF Orozco. shut

country is sparsely settled, but not
entirely uninhabited. The dealer in
sensations could not put forth plau-
sible tale of battles where there were
no people at all. The spaces are vast,
settlements are far apart, and, best
Of all, for the war correspondents pur-
poses, there is dense ignorance on the
part of most Americans concerning the
country the people and the language.
1t was expected. therefore, that wild
tales would come out OF Chihuahua and
Sonora. If these tales come fast enough,
no one will take the trouble to check
I'D the figures as to the number OF
combatants and the total of casualties.
So 1t happens that the combined death
losses of the federals and insurrectos
are far in excess Of the number OF
men engaged on both sides. But that
Is mere matter of figures, after all.
1t doesn't matter to any one who is
not compiling statistics.
One feature of the reckless spinning
Of yarns may prove injurious, however.
This is the danger Of arousing resent
ment over tbs reported execution OF
American citizens without fair trial.
Stories to the effect that Americans
have been stood up against adobe walls
and shot to death should be taken with
great reserve, as the presumption that
they are false is very great
The Mexican government is prac-
ticalIy on probation for few months,
to determine whether or not it can
restore order The insurrectos, also,
are virtually on trial, since the she'd
ding of innocent american blood by
them would be the signal for interven-
ton by the United States. 1t is wholly
against the interest of either side OF
the Mexican quarrel to invite inter-
vention by this country. Thus far,
both the federals and the insurrectos
have exercised great caution in deal
ing with American lives and property.
They will not jeopardize their own
cause by wanton injury to Americans.
A few Americans may be hurt IN
the Mexican scrimmage, but the
chances are that they will be found
TO be eager participants in a fight
that does not concern them. They
have no right to mix in the melee, and
If they are hurt. it viii be their own
fault.
