Why Tears Flow

All human emotions. however slight
they may be. either decrease or In
crease the circulation Of he blood
Those emotions that bring tears cause
the blood vessels around the eyes to
expand, thus flooding the lachrymal or
tear glands with blood. The tear
glands always secrete a little to keep
the eyes cool and moist and carry off
specks of dust through the nasal pas
sages. but the extra supply Of blood
increases this secretion to such an ex-
tent that it cannot so off in the usual
way. SO overtiows.

New Issue Arises

Washington, March 9.-An issue has arisen between the customs and army of- ficers along the Mexican border raising the question of whether the proclaimed neutrality of the United States will permit the exportation of munitions of war to the rebel town of Juarez. The difference is based upon construction of neutrality statutes and was brought to light through the seizure by the army at El Paso of a consignment of arms and ammunition un- der the belief that it was destined for the hsurrectos
 The army officers on the border are pointing out that they are charged with enforcing neutrality, maintain that muni- tions of war should not be permitted to go across. especially If they seem certain to fall into the hands of revoutonists.
 President Taft decided during the Ma dero revolution. and that decision recent ly was reaffirmed by the department of state, justice and treasury that the United States could not interfere with legitimate commerce in anything.
 The treasury department has instructed the lIl Paso collector of customs to make a report on the seizure. It is likely that the whole question will be reopened.
