Factor in Community. she sustains
ethical, social and industrial relations
with many persons outside of her fam
lily group and yet her attitude to each
outsider indirectly reflects upon her own
home group. The child whose mother
falls short of the standards set by other
children's mothers is bound to suffer for
it. Great economic advantage may be
gained by a spirit of cooperation among
the different families of a community.
This can be secured only by the women
who compose it. The value of co-opera-
ton among homemakers is being demon
strated afresh every day. Half dozen
housekeepers frequently unite in the
purchase of a vacuum cleaner. Not one
of them would be able to afford ii alone,
but by the union of their resources each
is able to lessen her own labor by using
it when she needs it. In a suburb a
group of families recently have cooper
ated in the purchase of talking ma
chine for which each family has its own
records; vacuum cleaner; an improved
lawn mower: and several other articles,
each new purchase seeming to strengthen
the friendly relations among them. The
cooperation extends to the children. who
recently held an entertainment to pur,
chase flag which they conceived would
be an attraction if PLACED on each house
in turn for day.
The increased number of women who
follow other callings for term of years
before marrying and assuming the re-
sponsibilities of home-making render most
imperative the need of some training for
home-making. Many of these women do
not marry until they have attained a
generous measure of success in some pro-
fession. The broader their experience
in outside work the greater is their de-
sire to become successful homemakerS.
They do not lightly undertake their new
new duties without recognition OF re-
sponsit.lities. as do many girls who
marry younger. Many women so stu
ated are glad to undertake courses of
home making studies by correspondence
if they are not within reach of an insti-
tuition where they can attend lectures
regularly. There is a school of home
economics which now has enrolled over
10000 pupils upon its correspondence
scholarship list. These are scattered
over every state and are especially
numerous in smaller towns and rural dis
tricts.

FL Paso, Tex-News of the shoot
ing by Mexican federals of Charles
B. Dixon of San Diego, United States
immigration commissioner, created
wild excitement in FL Paso and border
cities.
Dixon was a victim of the notorious
ley fuega when he crossed into Juarez
to see a negro in connection with
white slave case.
The bullet pierced Dixon's back and
passed through his body. He was
taken to a hospital and Dr. j. H.

FL Paso, who went to Juarez to treat
the wounded man, said that he prob
ably would die.
Dixon was in Juarez on official bust
ness investigating a white slave case.
when he was arrested by a band of
federals, who started marching him
away from the city in the direction
of the foothills, where many men have
been put to death. Dixon started to
run and after getting half a block
away was fired upon and hit in the
back.

JuareZ to American officials that he was
satisfied the MeXicans were marching
him out to shoot him when he ran.

at Salt Lake has refused to issue an

Judge Marshall held that the order
of the Kansas utilities commission was
worthless. The state, he said, could
not make any regulation to get gas
from Oklahoma, as the state would
then be attempting to regulate inter
state commerce. He also held that
there was no authority to justify him
in ordering the use of the money now
in the treasury of the company for
new extensions and to buy new gas
without the consent of the bondhold-
ers, who were entitled to any money
obtained from the operation of the
company.
Judge Marshall also held that he
was not satisfied that the prices which
the utilities commission had fixed for
the Kansas Natural to charge were
reasonable and would be adequate to
enable the company to earn enough
money to pay the operating expenses.
