oldest uses for aluminium is its en-
ployment in making the soles OF shoes
to be used by workmen employed in
wet and damp places. The aluminium
soled shoe lasts much longer than an
ordinary shoe and is said to be inn
pervious TO dampness. The growth Of
the aluminium industry is little short

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 2S.--Media-
tion conferences, in progress one week
today, have led to the adoption of the
essentials of a plan for the pacifica-
ton OF Mexico. Details are withheld
until there is a complete agreement
on all subjects, but the main points
of the plan on which both sides at
present look favorably are the follow
ing:
The transfer Of the executive power
at Mexico City from the hands of Gen.
Victoriano Huerta to provisional
president and four cabinet ministers.
This body has often been referred to
as commission. or junta.
These five men win share equally
the responsibility of putting into oper-
alton program adopted at the con-
ference for the conduct as soon as
practicable of new elections for presi-
dent, vice-president and members of
congress. The five men would be neu-
trail persons as far as political affilia-
lions are concerned, but would be rep
resentative men, as nearly acceptable
as possible to all factions in Mexico,
including the constitutionalists and
approved by the American govern
ment.
Prompt recognition OF the provi-
sional government would be given by
the United States.
Withdrawal OF American troops is
expected by the Mexican delegates to
follow as matter of course Jas soon
as the new government is installed.
To Back Present Congress.
While there may be no formal dec
laration on the subject, the Mexican
delegates expect tacit understanding
to be reached that the United States
will regard as legal the financial trans
actions of the present Mexican con-
gress.
In the protocol there will be pro-
claimed principles on which a study
of the agrarian and educational prob
lens of Mexico would be based, but
there will be made no mention of in
dividuals to compose the government.
The mediators and delegates intend
to use every effort to maintain the Sc
crecy Of the names of individuals until
all elements in the proposed new gov
eminent have assented to the plan
or the actual change in government is
accomplished.
Arrange for Fair Elections.
1t is understood there win be no
reference in the protocol to the de-
tails of future elections, either as to
forestalling any individuals from be-
coming candidates or prescribing the
electoral machinery.
The protocol will declare simply for
a general election. fair to all factions,
and looking to the restoration of per-
manent government. The new presi-
dent would serve until 1916, filling the
unexpired term Of the late President
Madero
Huerta has approved the main
points In the plan. The Mexicans
came with plenary powers, but have
been referring vital issues to him, and
he has been giving his approval Of
their work. Interests of the constitu-
tionalists are being kept in mind by
the mediators. Names agreed upon
for the new provisional government
are expected to be such as the consti-
tutionaiists might indorse.
The mediators do not expect the
question of constitutionalist repre-
sentation here to be reopened. The
conferences have progressed too far
for that. The belief is that the Amer
ican government is sounding out the
constitutionalists on details of the
plans,

Aid for Blind Workmen.

The following appeal has been CIV
en- out by the officers of the Industrial
Workers for the Blind: To aid the
blind people of the STATE in providing
means whereby they can be employed
at the various kinds OF work they are
capable of doing, ard thereby become
self-supporting.
There are many sightless people
who are skilled in making brooms, car
pets, rugs, etc, but from lack Of means
are unable to purchase the materials
used in quantities, and at present are
paying retail prices for all material
used, which makes their profits less
than the standard of living wages
With little help from others these
people can have the necessary funds
with which to purchase tools and raw
materials at wholesale prices, which
will enable them to realize fair profit
for their work.
The society known as the Industrial
Workers for the Blind is sending out
solicitors armed with proper creden-
tials who will canvass the state to
secure funds for this very worthy pur-
pose.
