WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.--The per s.stence of the governor of Texas ls causing the administration n" litt" worry and the usually rather slowly turning wheels of the state depart mont speeded up a bit today in order that there might be some definite ac-
 '''e part of the federal govern m-nt to report to the fiery Texans
 Secretary Bryan announced thnt the entire time of the cabinet meeting to- day was given up to a discussion of the pending Mexican crisis in all of it's fazes and that the stare department would send demand |" the Hu"rta government that the murderers of the Texan Vergara must hc brought t" justice. This action was also trle- graphed at once to the governor CT Texas and it brought forth tho im- mediate reply which has mi hecn made public in full but which. accor't- mand made upon Huerta is merely another attempt on inc part of the administration to gain time.
 Washington believes that tn" 'l,- 70 information that leaked out of tho department demanded to know how Huerta could punish tho murder CTS when he could not oven send an amy into the country where they were at preent at large.

No I don't really care for this sort of thing at all,' said the woman at the refreshment table. ''In fact, it bores me to extinction. When I'm at one of these crushes I always think of that awfulfy clever thing somebody said about afternoon teas. You know, he said it was just "giggle, gabble, goo- ble and git'' That's about all such functions amount to, isn't it?
 Really my dear. l don't think it's any compliment noo'iesfresnd any compliment to ones friends to en- certain them in such a wholesale fash ion. Of course, it's a very simple and easy way to pay ones social debts, but personally I much prefer a pretty luncheon or a nice little dinner, or ev- en theater party.
 "Oh we'll, l could hardly get out of coming. I have to show my good feel ing. l always say that we have to make some sacrifices for the benefit of society. I really don't see where Mary Teasdale gathered in all these people. Did you ever see such job lot of women?
 Really, she would have been wiser to begin on a smaller scale if she wants to get into society. It would have been much better for her to have sent out fewer cards, and had only real people here. Most of this horde have come only out of curiosity to see , than likely to make ill-natured re- marks about the show and ostentation before they .get out of the front door.
 T can't help thinking that a less elaborate affair would have been in better taste. Everybody knows that Mary Warren was as poor as a church mouse when she married Tim Teas dale. It looks silly for her to make such a splurge now when so many of us remember distinctly how very plain, not to sal frugal her parties use dto be.
 She used to say that she thought it was vulgar to serve anything heavier than tea and wafers in the afternoon, and now look at that table, simply ov- erloaded with expensive food. Of course, it attracts the crowd. Really, I was shocked at the rush into the din- ing room. I positively thought I'd be injured passing from the library in was determined to get in before the table was entirely dismantled.
 The flowers are wonderful, aren they? But really. there's too much of a display. And the lace tablecloth is very rich I shouldn't be surprised if she had had that sent up from one of the big stores just for to-day. You know, you can easily return a table cloth. If you are lucky enough not to get 1t spotted, you can have it pressed out and sent back without any one be- 1 ing the wiser.
 Really, I'm awfuIly fond of Mary Oh. yes, I always call her Mary; I've known her for years. Still, for the life of me I can't understand what Tin Teasdale saw in such a pale, bashfu widow as she was. If she had beer the dashing kind it would have beer l different.

ENTITLED TO KNOW.

When the former chief of the gov eminent bureau of chemistry, Dr. H. W. Wiley declared that the recent decision of the United States supreme court kills the pure food law" he recognized the loopholes which were opened 10 manufacturers of food pro- ducts to take advantage of just what it was hoped to prohibit That it kills the law as Dr. Wiley believes calls for the necessary legislation which will restore the law to the standard which is necessary to insure the protection which it was considered important when the present law was put into effect In other words. if the existing law is not what it was sup posed to be- if it does not restrict what should be restricted further leg islation is demanded Such an effort would encounter plenty of difficulties but with the proof that such changes are important for the good health of humanity, 1t should call to it's as sistance no end of support
 The supreme court has declared that 1t is necessary to show that harmful ingredients are present in suffi- cient amount to injure the consumer, in addition to the fact that there are poisonous materials used in it's man ufacture. Until such time, however. as that can be shown, there ought to be no difficulty in requiring that such food products should carry label bearing the necessary information as to the contents and what goes into their construction. There may be those who are willing to take the chance, but there are many others who are not and they should be provided with the facts which will form 9 basis for their judg- ment.

"BIUE SKY" LAW,

For the purpose of checking the growing inclination to swindle people through the sale of worthless securi- ties by painting their value and possi- bilities in alluring terms, number of states have enacted "b1ue sky laws, requiring the registration of security handlers. Such affords a protection to would be purchasers because of an investigation of such schemes and determination of the soundness of such propositions. For the past year the state of Maine has been trying out the idea and in the annual report of the bank commissioner it is shown that 105 dealers and 200 salesmen and agents received licenses under the law. All of these may have been legitimate dealers but they have received the business protection, the discourage ment of fake dealers. which is an inn portant factor to them.
 It would be interesting to know how much has been saved to the people of the state by the introduction of the law Such a thing is difficult to de-
 termine because of the irregularity of the operations of the swindlers, but the fact that steps have been taken to keep such operators from the state IS III ItSeh d GoiIpehS1'ioi' "hotleA the discoUra cement has prevented large or a small swindle. The exist enoe of the law, however, does, not guarantee that get rich schemes will not be tried. It does, however. give the public a chance to find out the standing of the seller and the prob able value of his proposition, while the inability to produce a state license should he sufficient warning of diStruSt 10 the individual approached.
