his way to Mexico for this paper when
President Wilson made his appeal 10

using the armed force Of the nation to
compel respect for the American nag
from Huerta.
The next morning. simultaneously
with the publication Of the Presidents
address. which meant the beginning OF
the stirring events Of the last nineteen
DAYS. The Tribune was able to an
nounce that Mr.. Davis was on his way
I 20 Mexico and Arthur Ruhl was with
the fleet to keep Tribune readers ac-
curately informed OF the doings or the
nations fighting men.
/ The first message from Mr.. DAVIS
was published on April "A. telling
graphically OF the ball at Galveston
which came to sudden end as the or
chestra was playing I'm Peau
d'Amour." when an orderly Whispered
to Major Evans, adjutant general OF
the 9th Brigade, that General Funston
and the 9th had been ordered to vera
Cruz. The stirring excitement OF war
was in his description of the rush to
quarters that followed.
Next day came the account OF the
sailing Of the brigade with Davis on
the Fitzpatrick with General Funston.
In describing the scene he told of the
fine appearance OF the soldiers. sight o.
whom made him feel sorry for the
MeXicans.
First Glimpse Of Enemy.
On April 80 came his story OF the
arrival Of the brigade at Vera Cruz
where the Fitzpatrick was met in silence
by four Mexicans and motion picture

When the brigade was disembarked
/ next day Davis described the amaze
ment of the Mexicans at Vera Cruz.
Never, he said, except in bronze on
monuments, had they ever seen SUCH
supermen of such heroic aspect. He
then sounded the warning that the
rains were coming and that every days
delay made more difficult the march
to Mexico City. He believed that that
march was inevitable.
His first glimpse of the enemy was
told of on May 3. 1t was after visit TO
the point where the railroad track is
torn I'D outside Vera Cruz and where
refugees have to exchange trains. In
a short dispatch he gave a vivid pict-
IRE of the Federal soldier. a brigand,
unkempt but polite.
On May he told of the sailing OF
the Montana with the nations dead,
who will be honored here to-day and

Travel-Talk Bores,

Now is the season when all the
world, just back from Europe, is bent
on boring us with travel talk"
The speaker was Mayor Rockwell OF
Of Akron. He resumed:
There are a number OF ways to
shut these travel bores up. A good
way is the Coliseum one.
THE bore says to you, enthusiasts
tically:
"'And in Rome saw the Coliseum
by moonlight. Um-m-m, wasn't II
fne!'
THE Coliseum you answer, calm
ly. Which one?
"of course, there's only one Coli
scum in Rome. But the bore isn't sure
about 1t, and II there are two, he
doesn't want to expose his ignorance
While he hens and haws and shutters
very red in the face, you easily make
your escape from him."

Common salt is not so effective as
oil on grass and narrow-leafed vege-
tation, but is better than arsenite of
soda. When the vegetation is very
rank salt will be found very desir-
able and should be used at the rate
Of from two to three tons per acre,
depending upon the rankness Of the
growth. The salt should be fine
grained, free from Jumps, and should
be scattered very uniformly. To Sc.
cure the best results, 1t should be
made into a saturated solution, one
pound being mixed with a quart and
half of water. The salt brine should
be applied by means Of sprinkling

Business men about to start on their
summer vacations are advised to read

ISOLATION has been posted all over the
associations building. 1t reads:
Forget your dignity, throw away
your staidness, and be a kid again
wholesome, fun-loving, boisterous,
dime-novel-reading kid-during your
vacation. Many OF you men, when
youngsters, used to think 1t great fun
to sneak out behind the barn, with q
cigarette made Of corneilk and brown
wrapping paper. II won't hurt you to
try the same thing again. You won't
be able to smoke enough to hurt your
self, and there's no danger of contract
ing the cornsilk habit.
Dime novels make good summer
reading. They are next to the Bible
for vacation reading, but take the b.

read Nick Carter, Jesse James and

So Hot Ice Chest RIazes.

The freak trick of the season at Bal
timore was occasioned when it was re-
sponsible for fire that burned the
top of chest containing ice at the
home of Harry Siegel, 326 North Front
street.
Mr.. Siegel placed two lighted can
dies on the chest The high tempera-
ture caused these candles to melt
until they bent completely over, the
flames igniting the top Of the box.
There was a blaze and excitement
prevailed for a few moments. No
alarm was sounded. The fire was ex.
hnguished by members Of the family.

War Drums Ordered Out.

It was some time ago that, acting
upon the recommendations embodied
in a report by a military commission,
the French government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long
er a necessary article Of military
equipment. The report set forth that
the drum was q serious encumbrance
in marching; that rain impaired its
usefulness; that its calls could not be
distinguished in time of battle; that 1t
consumed a period of two years to
turn out an efficient drummer; and
that by abandoning the use Of the
drum many thousands of youths and
men would be released for active
service.
Since the decision Of the French
government other European powers
have followed its example in decree
ing that the drum must CO."
The history of the drum is both an
cient and honorable. The Egyptians
employed 1t, and the Greeks ascribed
its invention to Bacchus. The Spanish
conQueror Pizarro is said to have found
drums in South American temples.
The snakes of Ireland, we are told,
fed from the Emerald Isle before the
drum-beats Of st. Patrick. The Puri-
tans OF New England used the drum
as a church bell, and it figured fire.

FOR STRENGTH AND GRACE
Proper Training Of Boys Muscles 10
Something Worth Highest De-
gree of Consideration.

In the American Magazine Dr..
Charles X. Taylor of Philadelphia
writes an interesting and practically
helpful article entitled Your Boy and
His Muscles" in which he gives sug-
gestions as to proper exercises for
young boys. Following is an extract
from his article:
First of all, when child Is In a
poor condition of which the basic
cause is some remediable physical de-
feet there Is little use in giving spe-
cial exercises until the defect is re-
moved. For instance. breathing ex-
ercises cannot be nearly as effective
as they should be for a child suffering
from large adenoids, nor can you ex-
pect good results when a child has
some physical irritation inducing nerv-
GUS effects Of different kinds. Above
all, you should always know the state
Of the child's heart. If the heart Is
good, and II there are no serious RENE
diable defects to interfere with your
obtaining good results, then you can
take up the matter Of special exer-
cises with some degree OF confidence.
when you find just where your boy
is lacking, whether in chest expan-
sion, shoulder girth, arms, and so on,
or perhaps in posture, If he is hollow
chested with shoulders bent forward,
then you can take up the exercise sug-
gested for the different needs. And
right here is a word of caution, which
will be repeated now and then. Never
carry an exercise beyond the time
when fatigue begins. Do not continue
1t to exhaustion; but when the boy
begins to feel tired stop at once, If
1t is only after two or three motions!
1T interests the boy a great deal,
too, to keep account Of his physical
measurements. II these are taken
once a month his interest is kept up,
and he is stimulated when he finds
that he is actually gaining. Finally,
do not carry ON special exercise
after 1t is no longer necessary. What
you desire is good, all-around devel-
opment, and when this is attained spe-
cial work should cease and general ex-
ercise be carefully continued. 1t
should be said, too, that such work
can never be considered as a substi-
tute for outdoor play. This latter is
vitality necessary for all children.
These exercises are to be used as ad-
juncts-to bring up to standard any
set of muscles which are under-devel-
oped."
