Two Kinds of Diaries

As you read that appealingly human story "The
Confessions of Wife," with its faithful picturing
of life just as u.s. there doesn't seem to be bit Of
incongruity in Margie sitting down at night and
writing in her little book the drama of the day.
For she "sets down naught in malice, but records
Ger own shortcomings and mistakes as candidly, as
t.ravely she puts down the doings of Others That
what makes her diary so remarkable. Usually a
a,ary is only a skeleton entry of Il, ~, ""L"
How different from Margies way is that of the
aged husband who came into divorce court the other
day with daily record covering years. of each angry
word addressed to him by his wife.
IT, in probably justifiable fit of evaporation, she
called him an ''old foo''-and surely he must have
been that more than once; what man isn't ?-down it
cent, place and date.
But never word to explain what had brought
torth the commentaries him to hide that.
1t seems if, the very minute he got married, he
made up his mind that he might some day want a
dvOrce hence set out to accumulate data which could
re put in evidence.
A fine type of husband we don't think.

Education System

Middlebury. VT, June 21.-The vocation
altzing of the state system of education
recommended to Vermont by the Carne-
gle Foundation was denounced today by
John NJ. Thomas, president Of Middle bury
College, in his Baccalaureate sermon to
the graduating class He said: THE
education which will life Vermont is not
one which will enable us merely to mar
ket and quarry more marble and granite.
Vermont has been great for her men
and the education OF full grown manhood
will alone satisfy the Vermont spirit.
The children of the farms must learn
from the masters of great thoughts. They
must be taught their kinship with the
heroes OF great deeds. They must be
trained to value truth in the realms of
science not for its bearing on crops and
trade, but for its pure beauty alone. \
materialized tuition would disappoint US
in our search for wealth. It would re-
move us from the glory of our past and

Mexican Sympatllizers Attempt to
Blow Up Gatun Locks, Panama

Philadelphia, June 21.-Mexican SYM
pathizers stole 1000 pounds of dyna-
mite at Gatun, Isthmus of Panama

formerly employed on the government
canal operation, from Nathan Gilbert,
a foreman In charge of the electrical
installation at Gatun. Details have
been suppressed by the government
Gilbert's letter bore date of May 81,
and the writer evidently supposed that
the Gatun incident, including the ar
rest of the suspected dynamiters, had
been published and that Mill had read
about it.

robbery of 1000 pounds of dynamite"
writes Gilbert. col Goethals came

seek YOUNG MAN
IN SCHENECTADY
MURDER MYSTERY

Schenectady, N. Y, June Ala WELL
dressed young man, who, on May 90
rented a boat of Claude Hanlon, is being
sought by the police in the belief that
he can clear the mystery connected with
the finding of a woman's torso in the
stream here.
The stranger loaded a burlap bag and
piece of concrete into the boat just
before starting. The torso was wrapped
in such a sack and weighted down with
concrete. For several hours before rent
ing the boat the stranger sat on bench
near the river carefully guarding the
bag. Finally he approached hanlon and
desired to rent a boat to go fishing.
AS it was a cold day and no one was
fishing, Hanlon remarked on this, but
the man made no reply. He was not
provided with poles or tackle. The
stranger said he would return in a
short time. When, at midnight, he had
not returned, Hanlon went home.
The following morning the boat was
found at the dock. Nothing about it
indicated that 1t had been used on
fishing excursion.
1t developed Saturday that Sarah
Meader, 25 years old, has been miss
ing from the home of her uncle,
Thomas Mcdowell, here, for about a
month.
Police are investigating her absence.

MEDIATORS PROPOSE new
COURSE OF ACT|ONTO WORK
OUT A MEXICAN SOLUTION

some agreement was reached and APP
proved by the Constitutionalists.
The plan was said to be a result of the
visit of Minister Naon of Argentine to
Washington, where President Wilson is
understood to have emphasized the writ
ten statement of Justice Lamar that any
agreement reached by the mediation
board. which was not approved by the
Cons titutionalists, would be "a paper
agreement and would not accomplish
the sole purpose of the United States,
which is the pacification of Mexico.
1t was reported that the Washington
government had already extended an in
vitation to Gen. Carranza to send his
representatives to Niagara Falls, n. Y,
to confer with the American delegates,
but confirmation was lacking. The re-
ported departure of Fernando Calderon,
leader of the Liberal party, from Saltil-
10 for Washington. presumably to take
charge of Constitutionalist interests in
the United States, was believed 10 have
some bearing on developments here.

ben taken today which had raised their
hopes, the mediators were silent

Niagara Falls, Ont, June I.-The
smediators today proposed new course
of action which not only will prolong
the proceedings, but man eventually
work out a solution of the Mexican

The nature of the plan which is de-
signed to prevent the deadlock be-
tween the American and Mexican del
egates from abruptly ending the con-
ference has been more closely guard

ed at the conferences.
1t became known, however, that an
other effort was being made TO bring
the Constituencies into close touch
with the purposes of mediation with
out formally admitting them.
The suggestion contemplates sepa-
rate conferences between the American
delegates and representatives of the
Constituencies. Justice Lamar and
Frederick w. Lehman would contin-
lie their dealings with the Huerta del
egates through the mediation board.
In this way all elements in the Mexi-
can situation would be drawn togoth-
er and there would be no necessity for
the declaration of an armistice until

THE APPOINTMENT OF
JONES ON BOARD

Washington, June 2l.-Reports of
opposition among members of the

tee to some of President Wilson's NOM
nations for the Federal Reserve
Board resulted Saturday in members
of that committee receiving copies of
a letter from the President to Chair
man owen particularly commencing
Thomas d. Jones of Chicago one OF
the nominees.
In this letter the President declares
he has been associated with Mr.. jones
for Is years, and says MIR. Jones has
won a place of esteem that is EN-
viable indeed"
One of the criticisms leveled at the
Chicagoan has been the fact that he
is a director of the Harvester Trust"
now being sued under the Sherman
anti trust law by the department of
Justice The President explains that
Mr.. Jones owns only one share of
Harvester stock and that he became
a director to thwart the acts which
led to that suit.
In conclusion the President said: He
is the one man of the whole number
who was in a peculiar sense my per-
sonal choice"
Mr. Jones was the only one of the
five men nominated to receive the
written commentator of the Presi-
dent. Information concerning the 9th
er nominees in the possession of Sec.
of Treas. McAdoo reached the COM
mittee Saturday. The Presidents let
ter and the date furnished by the
treasury will be used in reaching con-
clusions but it is possible that other
information will be secured by mem
bers who are giving particular atten-
ton to these nominations.
