WHITE WINGS" MAKE
WHITE STREETS
City Beautiful Ladies Are Superin-
tending the Work and Men Are
sweeping Clean"

The beautiful White Wings were
put to work bright and early yester-
day morning by the City Beautiful
Club cleaning the downtown streets.
The wings started at Barraque and
State streets, at the city hall. When
work stopped yesterday afternoon
they were in front of the Hotel JEFF
ferson and the block from Main to
State stree twas as clean as nickel.
Two negroes composed the ''White
Wings" and their tools for making
beautiful streets were brushes and
shovels. The Club had also employ
ed a wagon which cleaned up the deb
ris as the white Kings swept it in
to piles. Mrs. John L. Mills and
Mrs. Sebastian Geisreiter were sup
erintendents for yesterday. Mrs. Rus
sell Hollis will be superintendent to-
day.
The ladies are very anxious that
the public cooperate with them IN
this work and assisting them by doing
all they can to keep the streets clean.
Every body is requested to refrain
from throwing paper or other rub
bish on the streets after they have
been cleaned. From all indications
the city will present a different and
more respectable appearance when

were dead and wounded In Juarex
WashngtOn Hesitates.

Washington, May S.-Despite the
battle that ragged all day in Juarez
and the death of three Americans ON
the Northern side of the Rio Graude,
President Taft will stand firmly by
his announced purpose not to take
action without the complete author
ization of Congress.
The situation is one of extreme de-
licacy, as was explained by a higher
official Of the administration tonight.
president Taft does not want to inter-
vene, inasmuch as he realizes that in
tervention means war of q peculiarly
devasting kind. Neither does the
Democratic leadership of the House
want Intervention. It is pointed out
that Intervention, because of the loss
of half a dozen American lives,
might entail the loss ultimately OF
hundreds of lives not only Of Ameri-
cans now residents in Mexico, but Of
many soldiers who might be sent
down to restore order.
On the other hand It is becoming
more apparent every day that the
Mexican government is MO longer able
to cope with the situation and that the
Insurrectos are without definite lead
ership. Meanwhile disorder and an
archy are spreading and there are
the gravest of reasons for fearing
that tonight's news, repetition Of
previous tragedies of the kind, is
merely a forerunner sof similar trag-
edies to come.
1t had been the hope of the admin-
istration that the announcement of
President Diaz's intention to resign
was the forerunner of peace But
that hope has been abandoned.

What War Means.

Washington, May SIT Is believed
in Army circles that If the United
States intervene in Mexico and send
an army across the border, 1t would
have the same effect as an outside
interference with man who Is beat
ing his wife. Both would turn upon
the intruder.
An so these experts have no doubt
that the first shot fired by our coun-
try In Intervention or invasion would
unite ninety per cent of the Insur-
rectos, Jointly antagonistic to Diaz
and the Americans, with the govern
ment and the Federal troops in a SOL
Ia army Of defense against our in
trusion.

Old lime Strawherries,

Strawberries have improved very
much in flavor since the fifteenth cen
tury. Until then the only strawber
ries eaten were wild Strawberries Of
a kind which would never find mar
ket nowadays. By 1880, however, they
were beginning to be cultivated, for
Holinshed records under that date a
particularly fine crop grown by the
bishop Of Ely in the grounds of his
palace. now covered by Hatton gardelr.
He quotes the Duke of Gloucester us
saying to the bishop: My lord, you
have very good Strawberries in your
garden in Holborn. l require you to
let as have a mess Of them" This
speech was copied almost verbatim by
Shakespearr in Richard Ill" Still,
even the bishops fruit would not ap-
peal much to modern connoisseurs, for
the garden strawberries at that period
were only transplanted wildlings, the
plants being sold at about fourpence
bushel.-London Standard.

FOR The CHILDREN
KnoCkinn the Head Trick.

Do you desire me, ladies, to teach
you my secret for making impromptu
verses? 1t is to rub your forehead
well, not with the hand as Horace did
Of old, but by giving your head some
good sound blows against the wall
Then proceed to knock your head three
or four times against a door and put
your hand to your forehead as If to
deaden the pain produced by the vio-
lence of the blows. But you must do
something move than merely touch the
door with your head At the same mo-
ment that you make the movements as
If knocking yourself, you ward off the
blow by the aid of the left hand held
to the door about the spot which you
appear to strike, while the closed right
hand, concealed from the audience,
strikes on the other side of the door.
The correspondence Of the move
ments of the head with the noise Of
the blows given by the clinched fist
produces a perfect illusion on the
minds of the spectators.

Be WISE; STICK TO FARM.
It Stands For Everything Attractive,
Wholesome and Profitable.

VI SldUuS VT GNSTJLUlIi9 fNttTdVNINoJ
Wholesome and Profitable.
For the restless boy or girl who
wants to go away from the farm and
get out into the big world to do some
thing, no better bit of earnest reading
can be found than this extract from
the New York Independent.
'"The new farm children" it says,
"live third dispensation. The scienl es
began to take hold of the land at least
fifty years ago, but there was an off
clearing necessary. The transition
period was protracted, mainly because
the land was already in possession of
a race of farmers that must die off
"The agricultural college applied the
sciences to tillage and to crops and to
animal life on the farm twenty five
years ago. 1t was slow work. not
only to awaken the farmer, but to in
vestigate. discover, and then to apply.
The age is now rapidly falling into the
hands of men who are alive to the
great fact that production has never
yet approached its maximum. The or
chard has all this while, thanks to
moths and caterpillars, become more
and more an chronological laboratory
Gradually it has came about that not
q thing can be grown on the land
without fight This has not by any
means been a permanent loss, but has
wakened a spirit of scientific examina
ton and determination to master con
ditions. The microscope and the cru
cible are as necessary today as the
plow and the hoe. The farm boy is
not without stimulus, nor is he with,
out interesting conditions; rather it
will now take the brighter boys to do
the farming.
1.-THE development of farm machin.
cry and the application Of new forces
on the land have gone on at the same
time. In every department of the
home. in the house as we'll as in the
barn, machinery takes the place of
men. and the help problem is now
driving us to a still more complete age
of mechanism.
"There is no lot on earth so enviable
today as that of an American farm
boy or girl. They have room, fresh air.
beautiful surroundings, while the arts
and sciences are involved in their
work, and isolation is absolutely abol.
ished.
Nothing can be gained any longer
by quitting the farm. 1t stands for
everything that is attractive, whole
some and profitable; but at the same
time it stands for the new and the
stimulating. Country life cannot be
made dull, unless it wilfully sewers
itself from advantages that are freely
offered"

About the Moon.

The bright side Of the moon always
Ii turned toward the sun whether the
sun is visible to us or not So we
should expect that if the neon is less
than full a line joining the center Of the
moon and the center of her illumi-
mated edge would always point toward
the sun while the cusps or horns of the
moon in her first or last quarter would
point away from the sun. But if we
come to watch the moon we shall find
that the position of the cusps often is
different from what we had expected,
For instance, the sun may be well be-
low the horizon, yet the horns may be
turned little downward and the cen
ter of the bright edge little upward
