HARDER THAN CRANE.

The following is from a govern
ment report, which cited various
records of durability in paving. ="
The Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company OF New York in 1902
decided to give wood blocks a trial.
small area Of long leaf pine
Was laid between the company's
tracks IN Hudson street, the blocks
being thanked al either end by
granite There is SO heavy a
trucking traffic at this point that
granite, which the company had
always used hitherto, had always
shown fttt in six months and
been renewed annually. AT the
end Of four years the wood though
showing rut, WAS still sound
and good enough so that they did
not see lit to remove, while the
granite alongside Of it had been
renewed three times during the
four years.

TRAVEL ON MOTOR CYCLES
Calfornians Also Send Fire Warnings
to the Headquarters Through the
Telephone.

With other modern equipment for
the protection Of the national for
ests from fire, the California forest Of
feers announce the adoption Of the
motor cycle for patrolling long
stretches OF country
These men are employed in the re-
eions Of greatest fire danger They
make a trip OF from 100 to 80 miles
daily, distributing fire warnings to
travellers and campers and keeping a
sharp lookout for fires which they re-
port to the forest headquarters by
means Of portable telephones. special
iy constructed for forest service.
II has been demonstrated that a mo-
tor cycle patrolman can cover more
than twice the territory that horse
man could get over in a day They
are often able to summon help and ex-
fires before any great dam
age is done, and to collect evidence
TO be used In prosecuting persons set

WOULD Buy MOTORS But
Only Three University Professors Now

The automobile is not making much
Roadway among the members of the
University faculty. Only three faculty
members have machines. DR.. Guy l..
Noyes, Dean Fl. B. Shaw, and Prof. w.
ID. A. Westfall There are above a
dozen students who have cars, but the
University professors have not bought
machines.
Yes. | would like to have car"
said a professor, but l don't think
| will ever be able to buy one. unless
they decrease materially in price. A
kind automobile salesman offered to
give me part of his commission on a
new machine. but l was unable to
accept his offer.
THE price of eggs and beefsteak is
rising So much faster than the amount
of nv salary that l have trouble sup
porting my family. l think that the
automobile some day will be the most
popular thing for long distance travel
as well as for short pleasure execur-
sions. That is why fewer railroads
are being built nowadays. But until
the prices of the cars are cut almost
in two and the prices of gasoline and
oil are lowered, l don't see how l
can afford one
The automobile has become popular
among the students of the University
and about twenty-five machines were
in Columbia for the first week of
school. Most of these were brought
here BY fraternity men for rushing"
season and were taken home last
week. One car was driven all the way
from Waterloo, ILL.,. to Columbia by
Miss Pearl Pinkel, a former student
of the University, and a member Of
the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. With
Miss Pinkel were Miss Ethel SennOtt,
also a former student here. and Miss
Pinkel's father, A. B. Pinkel.
The three cars owned by University
professors are all made by different
companies. DR.. Noyes' car is a West

REVOLUTION IN MEXICO EXPENSIVE
HAS COST THE UNITED STATES
OVER 100000 MONTHLY.
Unsatisfactory Conditions in State Of
Guerrero-Salgado Not Captured.
Demonstration at Tolcuco.

Washington - The revolution III
Mexico which put MaderO in Chapul-
tepeC and sent PorfiriO Diaz into exile
cost the United States a little more
than S1,0O000O a month for the twelve
months Of 1911, in exports, and re-
duCed our imports from Mexico by
little less than $l,00O,000 month.
This is according to a compilation
made by Professor Austin. chief of
the bureau Of statistics OF the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
This falling off Of $4,000, O00,'
says Professor Austin, becomes even
more apparent when contrasted with
our trade with other parts of the
world. Exports to South America, for
example, show an increase of IS per
cent in the seven months ending with
January, 1912. when compared with
the corresponding months Of the pre-
ceding year; those to Cuba and the
other West Indies a slight increase,
while to Mexico the exports during
the seven months ending with Jan
uary, 1912, decreased nearly 20 per
cent, and during the year as indicated
above, about 20 per cent in every
month since April, 1911, the value OF
| merchandise exported to Mexico has
been less than that of the CORE
spending month Of the preceding year
April, 1911, having been in fact the
only one Of the past twelve months
which did not show decrease in eX
ports to Mexico when compared witt
the corresponding month of the pre-
ceding year.
The falling off in exports to Mex
lea, as above outlined, is evidently
mere part Of the general reduction il
her imports, a reduction in which
the United States participates to
somewhat less degree than do othe
countries. An examination OF the lat
est official publications of the Mex
can government received at the BIT
reau of statistics shows falling OF
of about 10 per cent in her import
from the United States, and approx
mately II per cent in her import
, from all other countries during the 81
months ending with December, 19l.
, Her exports to the United State
| in the same period show a decline
about per cent, while those to othe
, countries showed an increase of abol
, s per cent"

Ing more than $1O,OO0,OOO will 60 into

annual pay roll of s79,OOO,OOO in the

NEUTRALITY LAWS MUST Be OBSERVED
Senate Adopts Resolution, and Gives
President Power to Halt Ship.
ments to Any Peaceful Country.

Washington-The insistence OF the
Texas members in congress that the
federal government should enter upon
an effective enforcement Of the neu.
trality laws of the country promises
to bear partial fruit in very short
order Most OF the Texans have al
ways contended that sincere and
efficient attempt to enforce the exist
ing laws by the federal authorities in
Texas would end the instigation and
fitting out of expeditions against
Mexico from the Texas side of the
Rio Grande. and they pointed to tho
arrest and conviction of General
Reyes and his aids as showing how ef'
fective the existing neutrality and con-
spiracy laws are if only they are ef-
ficiently enforced. The federal all.
thorities, however, have contended
that our neutrality laws are not ef'
fective enough, and President Taft
has also taken that view.
1t was agreed that the following
resolution should be presented to the
senate by the senate committee On
foreign affairs:
whenever the president shall find
that conditions Of domestic violence
exist in any American country, which
are promoted by the use of arms Oh
munitions of war procured FROM the
United States, the president Is here
by authorized, in his discretion ane
with such limitations and exceptions
as shall seem to him expedient, t
prohibit the export of arms or mum
tons of war from any place in thu
United States to such country unit
otherwise ordered by the president o.
by congress.
"The shipment Of any material pro
hibited by any such proclamation
shall be punishable. by fine not ex
ceeding $4,000, or Imprisonment no
exceeding two years, or both"
