In regard to the uniform: =.
Both khaki and olive drab cotton

June 80, 1913. to the effect that here

In connection with the scarcity of
shelter for troops, General Funston
says:
The resources of this department
have been taxed to the utmost 10 pro-
vide for sheltering the rapidly in
creasing garrison of Oahu. However.
due to the nature opthe climate, no
serious hardship has been suffered
by troops inadequately provided for
in permanent camps. Allotments for
temporary cantonmentS and for water
and sewer systems will in the near
future provide reasonable comfort for
the entire garrison.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. death
claimed heavy toll in the LABOR day
automobile speed races at the state
fair grounds yesterday afternoon
when four of the six high-power cars
entered in the twenty-five mile free,
for-all were wrecked.
Four of the devil-racers were killed,
two received minor injuries, while
four escaped without injury of any
sort. Two of the cars with their
drivers and mechanicians flashed
through the tangled wreckage of brok-
en- cars and manned bodies at
speed of sixty miles an hour, escap.
ing injury.

The horrible tragedy came without
warning to the spectators. as the pre-.
vious races had been run without a
hitch.
The six cars were speeding around
the circular track at terrific rate OF
speed with the Studebaker "Whisk,
broom" carrying the Inflated number
"13, about 200 yards in the lead OF
Mercer car No. 2. On the fifth lap,
Clyde Donovan, driving the 'Whisk-
broom" about 200 yards in advance
of the Mercer No. 2, feeling his right
front wheel give way, after swerving
to avoid striking negro boy, turned
into the outside fence to avoid block
ing the track. The wreck of the fence
fell back onto the track, in the path
of the succeeding cars. Mercer No.
u flashed by in an instant The StutZ,
running third, drove into the wreck
age and turned a somesault, throwing
both its driver and mechanician clear.
The Buick followed and struck with
terrible crash, turning over several
times.
Both occupants of the Buick" car
were killed instantly and Sherrod
and Brown of the Stutz, died of their
injuries within a few minutes.
After having escaped the "Whisk-
broom" wreckage, the Mercer No. 2
again circled the track and was itself
wrecked against the fence after dodg-
ing the bodies that lay in its path.

STONE eegAKs RgcoRp.

The value of the stone produced in
the United States in 1912 reached the
large total OF S78,284,572, an increase
of $1,176,005 over 1911, thus breaking
all previous records. Although the
percentage OF increase for 1912 over
1911 was not large, according to Il. f.
Burchard, OF the United States Cello
gical Survey, and although some of
the varieties of stone showed a de-
crease, the total increase was consid'
erably larger than the increase of
1911 over 1910, when the total value
was $76.520,5S4, the increase then be-
ing but s5S7,9S3.
Pennsylvania has always held first
rank among the stone producing
states except In 1908. when Vermont
reported the largest production. In
1912 the Keystone state produced
11.6s per cent Of the total Of the entire
United States. with Vermont second,

stone-producing states, named in or
der of output, are New York, Ohio,
Indiana, California, Illinois, Massachu-
sets, Missouri and Wisconsin, the
production of each of which was val
ued at more than $2,000,000.
The quarrying of granite is one of
the big features of the stone industry.
During 1912 the production in the
United States was valued at $20,234,.

Over 80 per cent of the total, or

HEALTH. NOT DISEASE.

With the closing of the Fourth In
|ternational Congress of School Hy-
giene, one fact stands out wildly:
The school hygiene movement has be-
come a positive movement for the
advancement of the health of the
school child, rather than a negative
summing up disease
The health emphasis was particu-
larly noticeable in the scientific ex-
hibit held in connection with the con-
gress. Visitors to educational exhib
itions on hygiene and sanitation do
not need to be told how frequently
these have been of the chamber of
horrors" variety. There were sur.
vivals of this type in the Buffalo eX-
hibits, but for the most part the posi-
tive, sane, normal exhibit was con-
spiciously present. There were won
derful pictures of city girls engaged
i'm outdoor sports and gaems---the
New York school girls, for instance,
who in their Public Schools Athletic
League illustrated the newer health
spirit of the hour, the spirit of whole
some recreation, to which even the
tenament seems to succumb. ~' g
The old familiar exhibits of wan
and careworn consumptive children
were replaced in the exhibits with
cheerful pictures of "premberculosis"
youngsters busy in school of the out
Iof.doors, their faces bright with the
hope of health, typical of the knowl-
edge that fresh air and sunshine can
and will drive tuberculosis from the
earth. a.a. 't''' $685.. ..-.'il-.a
There were more illustrations of
healthy teethY than. decayeds in the
Buffalo exhibit; there. was less EN-
phasis on the pitiable condition of bad
teeth and more stress on the adyant-
ages of good teeth; and above all,
there was the spotless school dental
clinic of Cincinnati and other cities,
with it's promise of better, cleaner
mouths for future school children.
Exhibits of the old sort there were
"a few; just as there were few
speeches of the kind that were I'M
dSubtedly necessary in the early days
of the health movement, to arouse
public sentiment; but the one big
central fact, both in the exhibit and in
the speeches, was that school n.y.
giene is to be hencefOrth considered
from the point of view of health, not
disease; that sound bodies, clean
minds, normal development, air and
sunlight, rational living, education to
fit for natural productive life,' are the
things to be stressed; that it is not
so much a fight against disease as it
is a fight for health. 1t was almost
as if the delegates of the nations at
Buffalo had declared to the world:
There are many things to be done;
we know the evils now; let us remedy
where we can; but let us above all
do our best to point the way clean,
healthful, normal living for the gener.
atoms to come" s

SOME FACTS ABOUT MEXICO.

Although there is little likelihood
OF the United States and Mexico be-
looming involved In war, interest is
Just now centered on the turbulent
republic to the south of us. Mexico
comprises an area of 767,316 square
miles, or about three times the size OF
Texas, at the last census having a
population of 12,57S,000, and at the
time of the Instruction had an army
numbering 1874 men, which per-
haps is an exaggeration, and military
men now claim that In case of trouble
with America she could command an
army of 100000, and she has perhaps
la half dozen battleships. The coun-
try is mountainous. mining of gold
and silver being its principal indus
try, but farming is neglected and in
a crude state of development, Tropi-
cal fruits abound in most sections of
the country. -.,s. q. ,f.--gG,
About is per cent of the population
is of European descent 80 per cent
Indian and. 43 per cent mixed, Only
small proportion of the natives or
Indians are thoroughly civilized, but
when educated and cultured they &C.
cupy a high position and are accepted
in marriage and social intercourse
with the highest families of the Span
ish race. ....
The prevailing religion is Catholic,
but church and state are separate
and liberation of all religions is rec
Iognized.
The capital. the City of Mexico, is
situated about midway of the country
north and south and near the coast
OF the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is one of
the celebrated cities of the world in
the way of fine buildings and luxuri-
Gus enjoyment Of its leading citizens,

est and finest Catholic cathedral in

cAAuTAUoUAs AND FARMERS.

'"Chautauquas" have become highly
important recently in the teaching of
agriculture. Each year." declares F.
3. jerks in his annual review of agri-
cultural instruction for the u. S. Bus
reau of Education, the Chautauqua
movement becomes a more decided
factor in the education of the farmer.
The programs, which in the early his
tory of the movement consisted prin-
cipally of Bible study and recreation,
have been considerably broadened,
and special features dealing with
farm life are becoming more popular
and more frequent. 1t is now a COM
mon occurrence to find these pro
grams offering courses in stock judg-
ing, poultry raising, soils, seed test
ing, household economy, etc.
Scores of new assemblies are Or
ganized every year, and the faVOrite
field is the rural district. Over 500
local Chautauquas were held the past
season In Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois.
Kansas, and Missouri, more than 100
being held in towns with an average
population of only 500. In some
places, boys and girls clubs have
been formed in connection with the
Chautauquas, and exhibitions and

Another special agency in agricul-
tural education described by Mr..
jerks is the Grange, or, to give il
its official title, THE Order of Pa
irons Of Husbandry." Since its re-
yival in 1890, the Grange has devel-
oped into the largest and most influ-
entail national organization of farm
ers, with 10000 subsidiary oranges
and more than a million members.
Educational work is prominent in the
Grange, the lecturers hour" being
everywhere established. There is
frequently a series of lectures on
some problem of agricultural educa-
ton, and here and there classes have
been formed to carry on college
work in agriculture by correspond
ence. Particularly important has
been the influence of the Grange in
having agriculture introduced into
the public schools as regular school

roe rHE sENEEIr OF JONES.

Jones has a mine In Mexico;
He says there must be war:
Why should We let this outrage go,
And what's our army for?
We must protect that mine for Jones,
So, soldier man, prepare
To let the hot sun bleach your bones
In Mexico somewhere.
Jones was not ordered to invest
His money in that mine;
He merely took chance at best,
But, soldiers, fall in line!
Jones will not listen TO delay,
His money is at stake;
War must be started right away,
Or something's bound to break.
we cant expect that Jones will light,
He'll stay at home, good friends,
But shall those people have the right
To stop his diVidendsl
There must be Intervention or
His money may be lost,
So. soldier man, prepare for war
No matter what the, cost.

CAUSE hEAYY DAMAGE.

That the coal miners OF Illinois are
probably better organized than those
of any other bituminous coal-mining
state Is stated by Edward w. Parker,
coal statistician OF the United States
Geological Survey. One result Of
this has been the establishment
throughout the coal-mining regions Of
the eighthour day. But the habitual
bi-yearly shutdown has naturally re-
suited in long periods Of idleness and
