WASHINGTON, y. c.. Dec. A.
Administration o,'cials are viewing
with satisfaction the evidences Of
growing responsibility on the part Of
the rebel leaders IN northern Mexico
TO rthe protection Of life aud prop
orty within the territory IN their
possession.
The State Departments request
for the reales of Americans held for
ransom or arrested on suspicion. are
now receiving prompt attention al
the hands OF the Constitutionalists,
and q s apparent that these officers
In turn are generally cXcrting more
power and imposing greater restraint
over their subordinatcs.
Some semblance Of civil authority
is also beginning TO appear in the
northern states OF Mexico. and is
meeting with recognition at the
hands Of military leaders.
Altogether, officials here see indl-
cations tha, q regularly ordered ciyil
government Is about ~ be- evolved
from the chaotic conditions which
have prevailed in that section or
Mexico for the past nine months.
It Is believed that the Coustitu-
,lonalists are devided on the ques-
tion of seekng the recognition OF
the United states. a portion Of them
are inclined 90 the view ascrbed to
General villa, that such a recognition
OF their government at the present
time and in its present condition
would have the tendency TO oucour-
age movement for the separation
of the northern states from the re-
malnder OF the country.

Mr.. Sinclair didn't say whether he be-
lieved a course in the science would
have spared him the adventure Of his
first marriage or the disaster that came
when his first wife met Harry Kemp,
the Kansas poet. But he talked several
minutes about the need of schools for
matrimony. and then discussed social
ism and woman suffrage. which he said
were twin reforms of equal Importance
Then he turned to woman. whom he
seemed to consider the root of many
evils.

woman. is the greatest danger in TINS

tween the parasitic woman and the nom
parasitic woman is biological. the
parasite is one who doesn't earn what

many women are spending their leisure,
their overabundant leisure, In eXtrava-

Mr. Sinclair said he wouldn't go so far
as to say that every woman ought To go

II wasn't essential for her to pound the
