CLARK COULD NOT BE FOUND
Speaker Comes Near Blocking Wheels
 of U. S. Government.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Washington. - Speaker CiarK sue cessfully eluded all pursuers. He was not to be found at his office in the capital and could not be heated at his home. Rumors said he was in Baltl' more at the home of Mayor Preston in conference with his political ad- yisers. His i!eutenants here simply said he was hidden away for the day getting some sleep. All efforts to flhd him were futile.
 S5 consistently did the speaker keep to his retirement that he even could not be found to sign the joint resolu ton extending last years approprla lions into the new finance year. In order that the wheels of government might not stop the house placed Rep resentative Alexander of Missouri Tn the chair as speaker pro tenn to slgn the precious document, which later was rushed to the White House where President Taft signed 1t before leaving for Philadelphia.

Wanted to Know the Culprit.

The following story was told recent ly by Austin Haines to a party of friends he entertained at luncheon:
 Down in a little Florida town two negro families live in shantes about stones throw apart. They obtain their drinking water from shallow open we'll located midway between the two houses. A fence which separates the two yards is built up to the well on both sides. Every evening after her days work is done, 1t Is the GUS tom of one of the negro mammies to pick up buckets and go to the we'll for water. One day the owner of the property moved the fence back about ten feet from where 1t originally stood. That evening when Eliza started out with her pail she fixed her eye on the fence and made straight for it. Walk ing hurriedly along the beaten path. she plunged into the shallow we'll with splash. Her screams brought im- mediate assistance, and as she climb ed out and spied the fence ten feet away she indignantly exclaimed;
 Now. who done moved dat well?"

Ancient Mexico.

We know nothing of Mexico, of course, prior to the year l5l1, when t Was discovered by Fernando Cor tez. The history of the City of Mexi- co, as preserved in the native annals, goes back to the year 1925, when 1t was founded by the Aztecs, the mas, ter race of the country at the tune or the coming of the Spaniards. Of the Utilization" so-called, that existed prior to the Spanish conquest 1t can De authoritatively asserted that 1t Was simply the higher type Of bar oarism" and in no sense civilization as We understand the term at the present time.

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

"Ninety-fve 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, great multitude of tiny drops of spfttle 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 large hall or room where the air Is quiet, these tiny, invisible germ-laden droplets will float in the air for a distance of 25 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 fun polite. Furthermore, 1t 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 form of fine mist"

oNcE MORE WORLDS GRANsRl
.kisb Government lndulees in Am bitIous Schemes for Development
 Of Mesopotamia.

'. snite of it's external troubles, the rartisb government is engaged in ad- rancing the big schemes for the de ,aiorment of Mesopotamia, which, rben completed, will result in the ,ransformation of an arid desert re- a,o, as extensive as the Nile valley into smiling cornfields.
 The sum involved in the huge ir- .,aotion works which will be neces- .arv to accomplish this transformation @ ,s mi at some S150,000000, and the immediate concern Of the Turkish au- ,borities is to place contract for the iritial stage of the schemes, which rrovides for irrigation works in con neetien with the barrage which con. ,ro,s the flood water of the River Eu- nbrates. at present under eonstruc- tion.
 Some Idea of the vast importance of these schemes may be gathered from the fact that their accomplishment uill enable sufficient grain to be orown to affect the wheat markets of tbe whole world. In the olden days ,be whole of the Euphrates delta was irrigated and the luxurious growth of 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 granares of the world.
 The whole story of these regions is a romance It is still the popular be- lief that the Garden of Eden was sit usted here In any event, in Chaldean tines the delta was one vast garden; the whole plain was studded with prosperous and populous cities. set in the midst of engirdiing areas of wheat. Indeed it was from this very region that wheat. at first found in a wild and uncultiyated state. was taken and gradually transplanted all over the world

Too Much Repetition.

Tn America says contempo- rary. we need more things Be it ever so homely, Smiths pond, if the original name, is better than Fairy Glen lake, or any ether fanciful ap- relation The difficulty is. there may be dozen Smiths ponds or Smith viles in the same state Even good name may be used too often. For in- stance, there are said 10 be ten Lin- coln streets and avenues in the newly smalgamated city of Pittsburg. It is the confusing repetition of names. quite as much as the lack of invention shown in bestowing them. that often carses dissatisfaction with familiar names
