UNDER HOT FIRE
IN MEXICO CITY
Experience of Associated
Press Correspondent During
Revolution Against Mader0.
UNABLE TO REACH HOME
FOR PERIOD OF WEEK
His Residence an Auxiliary Tele.
phone Station in Connection With
United States Embassy.

An interesting story has reached the
Washington Office of the Associat ted
Press Of the difficulties experienced in
Mexico City by Walter G. Whiffen,
correspondent for the organiza ton
there. and the men associated with
him, during the tense days of the over
throw of the Madero regime, which
were marked with continuous battles
in the streets. and which culmnat ted
in the tragic death of President Madero
and Vice President Pine Suarez.
Burge McFall is Mr. Whiffens as
sistant as correspondent for the Asso-
ciated Press in Mexico City, and both
Mrs. Whiffen and Mrs. McFall were in
that city at the time, and displayed
great bravery. The Whiffen house is
close to the residence of the ambassa-
dor, and 1t was made an auxiliary tele-
phone station to the embassy. Mrs.
Whiffen became a sort of unofficial
member of the embassy staff by rea-
son of the messages she was often
called upon to carry to and fro. Mr..
McFall, working in the center of the
city. was unable to reach his home
during the first seven days of almost
incessant fighting. He frequently
called up his wife on the telephone
during lulls in the battle but she never
told him of the fact that the upper
stories of her house were being riddled
with bullets and battered by exploding
shells. while she and her children took
refuge in the basement.

gardening. Mr.. Vissler has taken the
matter up with the board OF education
and the plan has the approval Of its
members.
i The idea is to introduce In the school
a course of agriculture. which has been
urged by the parents OF many OF the
children. The course will be started on a
small scale at first.

The Reasoning Power.

From Ohio State Journal.
DR.. Henry Bergson deplores the tend
ency of philosophical thinkers to let
their reasoning powers run away with
them. That tendency is not confined to
philosophers. II is the habit of all peo-
ple whatever their capacity. to give
wide range to their reason and let go
the primary facts or ideals with which
they started out. He thinks 1t is alb
surd for a person to push his reasoning
far from the tangible fact. for in that
fact may be more truth than in all their
logic.
This opinion should tend to inspire
those people who are very verbose in
argument with more modesty than they
seem to possess. Our reasoning Is really
the weakest of our powers. II is so fun
of half glance prejudices, vanities, and
personal ,sympathies as to make our con-
illusions thoroughly unreliable. The true
rule of argument is to state the fact and
the principle which it illustrates, and
cling to them as the best assurance that
one can have for his contention. There
is nothing that has proved such jungle
in human experience as unguarded ana
unrestricted reasoning. The idea or doc
trine that is true appears early without
a tortuous course of logic to reveal II.

seven days.
The practical aspect is alluring. But
there is a sentimental aspect which is
even more attractive.
II would be like having Santa Claus
come every week Father and mother
and the children would, on each Sunday
evening, indulge in a guessing contest
as to what Monday mornings hamper
from the farm might contain. Carrots
and parsnips and onions and beets and
turnips and radishes and cabbages and
csuliflower and lettuce and spinach and
tomatoes would cover the usual range of
speculation. But the cunning farmer
might occasionally slip in a cantaloupe
or some Brussels sprouts or some luscious
artichokes. There might be a little box
of cool mushrooms any morning to sur
prise and gladden. the recipient. And
celery. too. And string beans and peas
and asparagus and eggplant and satisfy,
to say nothing of such unsubstantIal
delicacies as parsley and cress and
chicory.
The guessing game would be worth
the trial, quite aside from the probable
financial saving.

From the Sydney Herald.
The latest development in Australian
state enterprises is move by the min
lister for education to buy out a factory
at Drummoyne and manufacture all the
furniture required for the schools Of New
South Wales. 1t is said that the initial
cost will be about $4,000. and that the
department will effect saving Of rough
~ $4,000 a year.
The system in the past has been to
manufacture a certain amount of school
furniture at Cockatoo Island, and to Sc
cure the remainder under contract from
the factory which Is TO be brought out
and taken over as a going concern A
start was given to the system by the
boys Of the training ship Sobaron, I'M
dergoins training in carpentry at Cock
atoo Island A long low shed was erect
ed there for this work, and gradually
more and more furniture was turned out
The decision to buy out the Drum
moyne factory was arrived at mainly
for the reason that the Cockatoo au-
thorities have been more and more
cramped in their operations of recent
years. The site Is an ideal one for such
purposes, the factory is equipped with
the most modern machinery, and there
is ample room for the extension that
must follow the development of educa-
ton in the state. The staff at Cocka-
too Island will be transferred to the new
factory, and the work of making its
own furniture will be proceeded with by
the department without any interruption.
As regards the estimated saving of
s15.000 a year, it need only be pointed
out that with more modern machinery
and absence of intermediate profit the
various articles of school furniture can
be produced at a much cheaper rate than
has been done at Cockatoo Island. For
instance. s262 will be saved on each
book press, a cents on each desk for
infants, H.i on dual desk. s2.3l on
each large table, and 70 cents on each
small table.

Peace and friendliness among nations
are like honesty in constituting the best
policy: particularly is this true among
such nations as happen TO be grouped
by the accident. of geography upon a
single continent Take the republics of
South America for example. Their inter-
ests and ambitions are similar and their
relations with the rest OF the world as
nearly Identical. as their broad variation
of latitude permits. Yet for years each
of these Latin peoples went its own
way. paying but slight attention to its
neighbors.
Recent developments. however, indi-
cate an increasing feeling Of neighborli-
ness among these natfeps- The long
standing territorial dispute between Peru
and Chilli seems to be in fair way of
settlement at last. Each nation has ap-
pointed arbitrators and on both sides
the hope is expressed that an end of the
long, wasteful dispute win soon be
reached The quarrel has at time in
volved Bolivia and Ecuador, disturbing
international relations through most of
the western half of the continent.

circumstances and the fact that he had
already been confined for over q year

was lenient and sentenced him to but
six months solitary confinement and
fine of $40. While lenient in one
sense, solitary confinement after scenes
OF such horror was in reality a terrible
punishment.
