SO much discussion about systems OF
solving the Ben Franklin Quiz picto-
graphs has como to the ears OF the
Quiz manager that he himself has be-
come ambitious along those lines.
Here is n system that can be unqual-
fedIv recommended M the best. II
NAV not bc so ingenious or wonderful;
but IL is n safe, sure way OF arriving at
the correct answers OF the Photographs.
First, study each Photograph care
fully. Regard all OF It's essential feat
ures. II conversation appears, con-
slider il.
which YOU have gathered from the pic
tograph. formulate your own idea as 10
what kind OF saying is represented.
Suppose a Photograph shows drunken
man sitting In stupid pose against a
store frout-a crowd or JeerlnS youhS
fellows surrounding him. You can cas-
lily SEQ that the saying represented by
this Photograph tells something ABOUT
drunken men, dwelling particularly on
the disgrace in drunkenness or the dis
respect awakened by drunkenness.
Keeping the imaginary saying In MIND
go through Poor Richards Almanack.
Jot down in the Record Book or In q
notebook all the sayings which touch
upon or near your idea. Even though
SAYING applies but remotely. put IL down.
Your search through the Almanack
may Weld some ten different sayings
and you have the absolute assurance
that among these ton Is the correct

Now TO eliminate the incorrect an
swers. Compare again each SAYING
with the Photograph. II one doesn
fully cover the Photograph discard IT,
But il YOU cannot satisfactorily ellmi-
nate a saying keep IL as possible an

In most cases you will quickly be able
10 sift your possible answers down 10

But where your first trial at picto-

answers equally accurate In your opin-

Plans to Invade Mexico.

The Army War College has been for
some time at work on plans for the mill
tary invasion Of Mexico. This work was
begun about two years ago, and was COM
plcted in all its details some months ago.
Confidential information has been used In
the preparation Of maps showing all the
roads and paths In the mountainous sec
tons.
Much information has been acquired re-
garding the location Of camps water sup
ply especially dangerous areas where
an enemy might be lodged, and so on. IL
is estimated that force of 10000 mon
would be necessary to occupy Mexico
for the purpose OF maintaining law and
order, and 1t Ia one OF tho possibilities OF
duty devolving upon this administration
to have the army undertake q scheme OF
pacihcaton similar to that successfully
established In Cuba.
There Is this distinction. however, 40

instances: In Cuba the majority or tho
people welcomed the army as deliver

One of the problems confronting the leg

merce to the enemy's ports could be
stopped. II war were not declared
other nations would insist that the
United States had no right to halt their
vessels. and the objection undoubtedly
would be sustained
What will be done in the event OF &C
ton is the actual seizure OF ports and
custom houses. Whether such action
will extend to custom houses on the
American border depends on the extent
Of the Intervention which the Presiden.
thinks necessary.
Huerta's firing a salute TO the Amer
lean flag does not make forward
movement toward the settlement or
the whole situation impossible. In fact.
Il improves the Presidents position, In
the opinion Of those observers who are
in close touch with the administration.
II is declared that the kind OF interven-
ton following drastic punishment for
the insult to the American flag would
be the worst kind. 1t would be bellig-
erent Intervention, and the action
would enable Huerta TO rally to his
support many Mexicans who otherwise
would remain pacific and possibly neu-
trail.
Basic for Action
with the salute fred, the President can
avoid a show OF belligerency, can declare
that his intentions are entirely paclnc
and that his only desire is the restoration
Of peace In Mexico. Upon that BASIS
American action In Mexico would meet
with far less opposition from the Mex
Scans themselves than II intervention
followed the use Of the men or guns OF
the Atlantic feet in warlike action.
There was much amazement here TO-DAY
when members of Congress with whom
the President talked reported that he
was much vexed Nth the conduct
OF Nelson O'Shaughnessy. the American
