Tobacco Distress Acute.

fsT1Ayana. Oct. 17,-(Correspondence
n The Associated Press.)-Distress In
the tobacco growing region of Havana
and Pinar del Rio has become so acute
that the government is at loss to f1nd
means for relief. Many tracts, once
of enormous value for the cultivation
of the finest tobacco and ut for little
else have been abandoned, or partly
utilized for sugar or vegetables for the
Havana market. Numerous causes are
ascribed, the foremost being that the
world has decreased its demand for
tbe once unrivaled Cuban leaf This
has been the case particularly as con-
oerps Europe and the present war mas
carved to make conditions worse
Much of the last two crops remain I'M
sold.
A government commission is now
working in India and the Philippines

London, Sept % by MaiD AT
least two American newspaper men
have tried to make the Sphinx talk.
They have tried to interview Lord
Kitchener 1t is a task no British re-

American reporter received polite
note from a secretary saying Lord

he can prove that he tried the impos-

easy to interview is the First Lord

MEXICO OBJECTS TO
DIVERSION RIO GRANDE
WATER is USED FOR IRRIGATION
WORK in SOUTHERN
TEXAS.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE Determi-
nation of the amount of water flow
ing in the streams of the Rio Grande
basin, which covers the greater part
of New Mexico, large areas in southern
Colorado, and a considerable terri
tory in Texas and old Mexico, is of
unusual Importance to that region,
which is for the most part an arid ag-
ricultural country. entirely dependent
on its streams for irrigation.
A report made public by the United
States Geological Survey contains rec
ords for 1912 of the discharge of the
Rio Grande and it's principal tribu-
taries, together with that of Brazos
river and Colorado river of Texas.
The data are of international import
ance for it is alleged that the inequit-
able diversion of the water in both Col
orado and New Mexico has destroyed
large agricultural values in Mexico
Certain issues have also arisen be-
tween lne states OF new MEXICO ana
Colorado because the people of New
Mexico contend that disproportion-
ate part of the water of the Rio Grande
originating in Colorado is diverted in
that state, to the detriment of interests
in New Mexico.
These International and interstate
complications are now being investi
gated under competent authority, and
the results of the stream-flow measure
ments contained in this report of the
Geological Survey constitute part o.
the evidence that will be used in the
final discussions. In addition to thu
results procured by the survey in CO
operation with the states of New Mex
leo and Colorado, the report contains
records Of the discharge of the Ri,
Grande proper, obtained by the Inter
national Boundary commission, the sta
lions at which the measurements wer
made being at Ell Paso Preside, Lang

MEMPHIS TODAY.

jackson, Miss, Oct. 17.-Governor
Earl Brewer is spending today in Mem.
phis to take part in a conference with
the chief executives of several south
ern states regarding the cotton situa-
ton.
Gov. Brewer went to Memphis from
Winona at the request of Gov. Hays,
OF Arkansas. The letter from Gov.
Hays reached the executive offices
while Gov. Brewer was in Winona yes
terday, he having decided to remain
over there day after the speaking.
long distance telephone message
from his private secretary, w. ]. Buck,
acquainted him with Gov. Hays letter,
and he left Winona yesterday after
noon for Memphis.
Gov. Brewer stated that a number
of southern governors would meet in
Memphis today, but did not designate
them by name
The ideas advanced by Gov. Brewer
recently have attracted much atten-
ton. Briefly it is for the national gov.
eminent to lend the farmers through
the national banks money at 6 pei
cent interest for twelve months, with
agreement that the farmers getting
the loans shall not plant next yeal
more than fifty per cent of what they
did this year in cotton. The governor
believes the national government IL
the only instrument big and powerful
enough to take care of the situation.
Gov Brewer repeatedly has expires
sed himself strongly opposing legisla
tion by the states to pass law making
it unlawful to plant cotton next year
In this connection he has made the pos
tive assertion that he will not call al
extra session of the legislature to con
seder such a proposition, regardless o
the pressure brought to bear upon hir
to do so.

AMERICAN GIRL
DEMANDED $500
Papa Said Her Share of Relief Fund
Would Probably Be About That.

London, Sept. %. (By MaiD-Major
d. w. Ketcham, one of the American
army officers sent over to London to
administer the fund appropriated by
congress as loan to stranded tour
lists, relates his experience, illustrating
the faith of a certain class of Ameri-
cans in the generosity of Uncle Sam.
One day young woman called at
the Majors office and said that she
wanted the $500 due her.
Thinking that she was one of those
for whom money had been deposited
by friends with the State Department
the officer asked for proof. He got
it. The tourist produced letter writ
ten to her by her father. In this let
ter the father said that Congress had
appropriated 100000 for the Ameri-
cans in England, and dividing 1t by the
number estimated to be there. he
thought her pro rata should be $500
advising her to insist on her rights.
The applicant admitted having suf
ficient funds, but said she considered
the money form of compensation for
the nervous strain of being caught in
Europe in war time. She left Major
Ketcham's office with the air of one
who had been deprived of her dues.

Embroidered HOSIERY

Embroidered stockings are the
vogue, they are so popular and pref
ty. 1t is easy to embroider them at
home if you want TO and have a
good stocking to form the back
ground OF your work
White and black are the best col
ors for embroidery, and they look at
tractive with the modern dancing
frock. Tan stockings look well, too,
with stiff and conventional designs,
bronze or colored hosiery or the ele-
CANT gold thread conceits are more
beautiful than all with needlework
upon them.
Floss silk should be employed if
the work is to be done on silk stock
ings. If on Isle thread stockings
mercerized cotton may be used
The design should be stamped from
the toe Of the stocking upward. 1t
is generally confined to a narrow
line in the middle of the front,
though sometimes dots appear on the
sides as Well Occasionally the en-
broidery runs directly up the sides
like oId-time clocking; indeed clock
ing is often used. 1t may be worked
in selftones or in a contrasting
color.
For conservative taste self-toned
embroidery is liked, and white stock
ings rarely have color used upon
them, but this rule does not always
hold good for clock, which is en-
broidered in startling colors, even
in floral designs and natural tints.
girls who go in for startling novel
ties are embroidering game birds on
their stockings. One pair of gray
silk coverings has peacock feathers
on it, depicted in the natural tones.
Daisy designs, sheaves of wheat, de-
tached groups of butterflies, bows
and ferns, scattered foreet-me-nots
and wreaths of foliage, medallions
with the embroidered spot in the
center, all are pretty and popular.

MAKE YOUR FEET BEHAVE.

Why is it that SO many women
can't make their feet behave? And
why do the many that walk with
the greatest amount of grace lose
their charm the minute they sink
into a chair? The correct sitting
posture is not difficult. and any
woman can learn to assume it with
l little practice.
When sitting down, whether at a
restaurant table, in an easy chair,
or in a public place, do not forget
that the feet should be placed square
ly on the floor, the heels touching
or very near touching, the knees
not too far apart.
This position is just as comfort
able as any of the grotesque atti-
tudes assumed when crossing the
knees, curling the feet around the

The fashionable touch of color on
ly applied by painting, says the
Washington Herald, and it is as easy
to paint on lace as on paper if eX-
ecuted as follows:
First stretch the lace on a soft
pad or smooth table or board, and
secure it in place with pins. 1t is
we'll when working to rest the board
on an artists easel
Get the desired tubes of water
colors To make a gum water with
, which to dilute the paints and pre-
vent them from spreading, put one
half an ounce of gum arabic in a
pint of tepid water, with teaspoon
full of sugar, shake occasionally until
it is dissolved, then pour a teaspoon
full in as many shallow saucers as
there are colors, and from the tubes
squeeze a trifle of the shade re-
quired, mix it we'll, and if a very
light color is wanted add a little
Chinese white to obtain the right
hue and consistency.
A bottle of artists gum water
would save the trouble of making it

The work is very effective when
done on blouses, dresses, scarfs, col

Copies of Byzantine and Roman
laces with their scroll-like designs
