TIM ELY HINTS.

When it is warm, have iced tea for
supper and prepare it when you are
making tea for the noon day meal;
then when wanted, it is cool enough
SO that not as much ice is needed.
When ironing, sort the clothing
which needs mending, putting it in
one pile or place, then it is easily
gathered without a second looking
over.
Do not throw away small clock
which is out of repair, for it makes a
fine indicator for medicine in a sick
room. The hands may be turned to
show the time the next medicine
should be taken, which is better than
trusting to memory.
A good way to clean jewelry is to
put it in a cup or bowl, cover with
alcohol and let stand until the dust
is loosened. Shake occasionally and
! the gems will be bright and clean
| again.
A small purse or bag containing
| pins, needles, a spool of thread and
a thimble, some adhesive plaster, a
pencil and a knife, a few rubber
| bands and string will be found a JOY
! to the possessor when travelling.
A gravy boat is an easy utensiI fo-
| filing preserving cans when a good
| funnel is not near at hand
Curtains are often ruined by blow
| against screens or out of windows
Place lead weights in the bottom OF
the hem to hold them in place
Baking powder biscuit are improved

Please locate and describe briefly
Ausable chasm.
Ausable chasm is on the AusabIe
river a few miles from its mouth at
Lake Champlain and is on the border
between Clinton and Essex counties in
New York state. The chasm, or gorge,
has been caused by the river flowing
over the ledge until for several hun
dreds of yards it has worn deep, mar
row channel down which heavy boats
manned by skillful bOatmen may be
taken At one point the gorge is so
narrow that there is merely a slit of
daylight to be seen at the top. SO
swift is the water that the boatmen
are obliged to haul boats back up to
the landing place by means of cables
fastened to the rocky sides. Port Kent
on the Delaware & Hudson railroad and
on the shore Of Lake ChampIain is the
station from which the start to the
chasm is made. a few miles run on q
railroad bringing sightseers to the en-
trance to the chasm. The regular Lake
| ChampIain steamers touch at this port
which is almost directly across the
! lake from Burlington.

Portable service. 1t is realized by the
military experts that this command
will not of itself suffice for any form

engagements have been made to in
crease the force by infantry, cavalry
and field artillery-comprising the mo-
bile army-to an aggregate extent of
$4,000 troops Most Of these are dis

the details for their concentration at

whence they would sail on specially

There four transports are regarded rs
sufficient to transfer from Galveston
to the Mexican ports all the troops as

in dealing with the problem that the
United States was not fulfilling its
part.
Lifting the embargo on the insur-
gents would mean that the latter could
f0rtify themselves and could carry on
indefinitely a warfare such as they
have maintained for the last six
months and all hope of ending the dis
turbances would be remote. OF course
this line of thought was based on the
premises that Huerta is so strongly in
trenched in the capital and the states
which he controls as to defy dislodge-
ment by all the revolutioniSts in the
country The reports received in the
last few weeks indicate that the revo-
lutionists will not be able to make any
advance on the Mexican capital; that
with plenty of arms and ammunition
they are numerically too weak to ac
compIish the overthrow of Huerta un
less it is done with assistance of q
force III the capital, just as Madero'S
overthrow was accomplished.

Matter of the Embargo.

He next gave consideration to the
proposal of raising the embargo against
the revolutionists obtaining arms and
ammunition in the United States
What he found was this:
All the foreign governments having
property interests in Mexico have pro
visionally recognized Huerta. Germany
has given full recognition.
These countries We're asked by the
United States to lend their moral sup
port to the effort TO induce Huerta to

Only Three Alternatives.


When President Wilson sent Com
missioner Lind to Mexico with three
suggestions for settling the disturb
ances he had in reserve three alterna-
tives which he could adopt iii the event
of failure. They We're:
St.-Interyention.
Second Raising the embargo against
the reyolutionists obtaining arms and
ammunition in the United States
Third.-A return to the former policy
of nOninterference, always entertain
ing the hope that one side would quick
ly win out in the struggle of arms
Like his predecessor. President Will
son never did seriously consider the
first alternatives He held that it was
too drastic remedy for the ailment
After going over the reports of the
state department lie found that so far
as the killing of Americans was CON
/ cerned there had not been Il sufficient
disregard Of the safety of foreigners on
/ the part of either of the factions in
/ Mexico to Justify Intervention.
He found that with two or three eX-
/ ceptions all the Americans killed i'll
4 Mexico had lost their lives through
some overt act on their part. 4 few.
less than half a dozen, had been acct
dentally killed. The most the reports
showed was 4 wholesale pillage of
property and destruction of the same
The remedy for this, the president de
cided, was not Intervention, as under
international law all claims for dam
age can be collected without resort to
arms.
After viewing and reviewing all this
the president cast aside every thought
urging for intervention.

Third Proposal Possible.

In taking up the other proposition
the president had in mind much of the
argument he had before him for aban-
donin. the proposal to lift the embar-
go against the revolutionists-the in

and the question Of the future Of the
two factions in Mexico. His conclu-
sion was that both sides would have

MANY INSURANCE
REPORTSN|SS|NG

Notwithstanding the fact that today
is the last day prescribed by the new
insurance law for companies to make
their detailed returns to the comptroller
general, who is the head of the insur-
ance department, there are something
like 125 companies that have not COM
piled with the statutes.
Unless these companies are heard
from by night. they will have to face
serious charges to be brought by the
insurance commissioner. and their de-
linquency may bring about the for
feiture of their licenses.
The insurance commissioner is en-
powered under the law to prescribe and
revoke the licenses Of all companies
that fail to come to time with these de-
tailed reports and he has insisted all
along that the companies must comply
rigidly with the new law or take the
consequences, to be Immediately ap-
piled
There are 425 companies operating in
Georgia. They are required to file with
the insurance department by March l a
full report Of their business for the past
six months, the number of agents en-
ployed, the business each has written,
the salary and commission accounts of
all employees, etc. The report called for
is most exhaustive.
Commissioner Wright has been very
eXacting in his requirements of the
insurance companies so far and those
who fail to get in their reports today
unquestionaby are in for trouble be-
fore the department.

SUBMIT CHARTER
SAYS WOODWARD
Mayor Wants People to Vote
on 1t Before Going to the
Legislature.

Mayor Woodward declared today that
there was but one way for council to
act fairly with the people in the char
ter reform movement, and that was to
submit the Gambler Hopkins McClel-
land charter directly to the people be
fore it reaches the Legislature. He said
that the former activities of charter
reform opponents had shown them
selves too bitterly opposed to any real
changes and too insincere in whatever
they did to allow them the opportun-
ity of riddling the new charter in the
legislature.
Wants Vote First. .
1T is a question of home rule and
not Of general state legislation he de-
clared whatever majority of the
people Of Atlanta vote for there will be
no doubt of the Legislature enacting
it into law. Let the people speak!
Il don't like the plan suggested by
councilmen TO send it to the legislature
before asking the people to vote on it.
The revision committee of %, at least
a large majority, has agreed on this
charter. 1 believe the people are over
whelmingly in favor of it. Let council
submit any sort of revised charter 1t
desires to the people, but submit this
charter as soon as possible"
Speaks For Leaders,
In this matter, Mayor Woodward is
understood to be speaking for leaders
in the charter reform fight.
Aldine Chambers, around whose office
the anti-reforrn workers have reYolved,
resents being styled the leader of this
opposition. He was defeated for mayor
by Mayor James G.. Woodward in the
fall. and on January l his term as a
councilman expired. He declared he
was devoting his attentions to the prac-
tice of law now.
81 am going to the presidential in
auguration," he said. 81 won't be here
when the committee of 25 acts. Does
that look like 1 am leading this fight?'
He did not announce where the meet
ing of the antis would be held during
his absence.

Don't attend a business college
