Ancient Mexico.

We know nothing Of Mexico, OF
course, prior to the year 1917, when
It was discovered by Fernando Cor
tez. The history of the City of Next
CO, as preserved in the native annals,
goes back to the year 1926, when 1t
was founded by the Aztecs, the mas
ter race of the country at the time OF
the coming of the Spaniards. OF the
"civilization," so-called, that existed
prior to the Spanish conquest, 1t can
be authoritatively asserted that II
was simply the higher type of bar
barism" and in no sense civilization
as we understand the term at the
present time. While considerably re
moved from savagery, the social state
of the Aztecs was characterized by
much that was crude and cruel and
was far inferior to the social condii
tons found in contemporary Europe
A very good account of the old Mexi
can civilization is found In F1ske's
discovery of America"

/ MENACE IN SPLITTING EVIL
Allegation Is Made That the Habit 10
Responsible for 95 Per Cent.
of Consumption Cases.

"Ninety-five per cent. of our con-
sumption" says the North Carolina
state board of health, comes from
careless splitting, coughing and sneez-
ing particularly on the part of the
consumptive, but also from people
who are apparently healthy. spit Is
frequently laden with deadly disease
germs, particularly that of consump'
tiyes.
when one coughs, spits or sneezes,
a great multitude of tiny drops Oh
spittle are violently expelled from the
mouth and nose. The largest of these
drops can be readily SEEN A large
number of smaller droplets can be
found if mirror or piece of glass is
held before the face when coughing
or sneezing. A tremendous quantity
of still smaller droplets are dis
charged in the form of an invisible
spray or mist, which floats about in
the air for some time. Scientists
have found that when a man coughs,
spits or sneezes in a large hall or
room where the air Is quiet. these
tiny, invisible germ-laden droplets
will float in the air for distance OF
rs to 100 feet These tiny droplets,
in the form of mist or spray, may be
breathed in by other people, or they
may settle on objects with which
they come into intimate contact, such
as food and clothing. Viewed in this
light, such conduct is at least I'M
polite. Furthermore, it is dangerous
to the public at large to have careless
people actually coughing, sneezing and
splitting germ-laden matter into their
faces, even if it is invisible and In the

WOMEN'S CLUBS CLAIM CREDIT
RETIRING PRESIDENT TELLS OF
LEGISLATION SECURED.
Says Every National Organization
Seeks Help of Federation
Want Cleaner News.

San Francisco, Cal.-What the club
women of the country are doing to-
day, what they have done in the last
four years and what they intended to
do in the future were the general out
lines of the valedictory delivered by
Mrs Philip North Moore of st. Louis,
retiring president of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's clubs, now in ses-
sion here for its eleventh biennial
convention
Among the accomplishments listed,
Mrs. Moore said that the country at
large had the club women to thank
for the pure food law, the preserva-
tion of Niagara Falls from the greed
of power companies, the passage of
the Weeks bill for the conservation
of forest lands and much legislation
looking to the welfare of women and
children.
For the future she urged that
women address themselves particular
ly to international and industrial
peace, regulation of the press and the
drama, education, inspection OF fac
tories and other establishments in
which women are employed and a
closer watch on national legislation
affecting social and civic life.
1t was fattering to women that
nearly everq national organization
looking for power had come to seek
the cooperation of the federation,
she said.
Details of divorce, scandal and
crime, she said, were less and less
tolerable to women. "An item OF
news" she said, 1--WE must accept, but
the unsavory details are no longer
news"

ONCE MORE WORLDS GRANARY
Turkish Government INDUCES In AM
bilious Schemes for Development
of Mesopotamia.

In spite of its external troubles, the
Turkish government is engaged in ad-
vancing the big schemes for the de-
velopment of Mesopotamia, which,
when completed, will result In the
transformation Of an arid desert re-
gion as extensive as the Nile valley
into smiling cornfields.
The sum involved in the huge IT.
rigation works which will be neces-
sary to accomplish this transformation
is put at some $15O,00O,000, and the
immediate concern of the Turkish au-
thorities Is to place contract for the
initial stage of the schemes, which
provides for irrigation works in con-
nection with the barrage which con-
trolls the flood water of the River Eu-
phrates. at present under construc-
ton.
Some Idea of the vast Importance or
these schemes may be gathered from
the fact that their accomplishment
will enable sufficient grain to be
grown to affect the wheat markets OF
the whole world. In the olden days
the whole of the Euphrates delta was
irrigated, and the luxurious growth or
grain excited the wonder of Greek
travellers, who visited the East. Ac-
cording to Herodotus, the soil yielded
three hundred-fold, and there Is no
doubt that these alluvial flats were
one of the chief granaries of the world.
The whole story of these regions Is
a romance. 1t is still the popular be-
lief that the Garden of Eden was sit
uated here. In any event, in Chaldean
times the delta was one vast garden;
the whole plain was studded with
prosperous and populous cities, set in
the midst of engirdling areas of wheat.
Indeed, 1t was from this very region
that wheat at first found in wlld
and uncultivated state, was taken ana
gradually transplanted all over the
world

Too Much Repetition.

an America" says a contempt
rary. 1--WE need more things. Be it
ever so homely, Smiths pond, If the
original name, is better than Fairy
Glen lake, or any other fanciful APP
pellation. The difficulty is, there may
be a dozen Smiths ponds or Smith
villes in the same state. Even good
name may be used too often. For in
stance, there are said to be ten Lin
coin streets and avenues in the newly
amalgamated city of Pittsburg. 1t is
the confusing repetition of names,
quite as much as the lack of invention
shown in bestowing them, that often
causes dissatisfaction with familiar
names"

LADY JURY REFUSES A DIVORCE

WE'RE WOMEN.

for Mere Man.

Meeker, Colorado.-A suit for d.
vorce, brought by a woman here,
heard by a woman judge, prosecuted
and defended by women attorneys,
and lastly decided by jury of II
women, resulted in a victory for the
husband. The feminine jury, without
leaving the box, returned the verdict
denying Mrs Hiram E. Peck a divorce
Cruelty and failure to properly sup
ply her financial needs were the al
legations made by Mrs. Peck.
Attorney Hazel Clark represented
the plaintiff and Attorney Eva Skin
ner defended Mr. Peck. Judge Mar
guerite Harp occupied the bench. The
clerk of the court was Miss Dorothy
Smith, all residents here.
Mrs. Peck, who is large woman
in her testimony asserted that Peck
who is a very small man-violently
assaulted her with deadly weapon
following her request to him for 9
small amount of money, and finished
the job by cruelty dragging her around
the room by her hair.
Cross-examination brought out the
interesting information that Mrs
Peck had been nominated for office
by one of the political parties and had
demanded 500 from Peck for cam
paign expenses; that Peck, owing to
temporary financial embarrassment
had been unable to furnish the money;
and that Mrs. Peck then proceeded to
pound it out" of him.
In the melee, Peck grabbed feath
err duster, and with this deadly weap
on succeeded in striking his militant
spouse.
