OUR LUCKY ESCAPE IN MEXICO.

This cOuntryS escape from active
military Intervention in Mexico during
the past year and half is now seen to
have been an extraordinary piece of
good fortune. For Intervention would
have meant the military conquest of
the neigh boring country. the tying up
in a foreign land of large American
army, and an enormous war expendi-
ture-all at time when the European
confagration required of us the nus
banding of all our resources.
No one could have fOreseen what
has happened. and no one in the light
of events, may claim the possession Of
extraordinary prescience, but circum-
stances as they are do justify an eX-
preston of thankfulness that Pres.
Wilson was able TO execute his MeXi-
can policy without involving the
United States in an adventure whose
dead weight by this time would have
appalled, his cOuntrymen. SO long as
the European war lasts, 1t now APP

the United states to undertake to eN-
ercise more than it's moral influence in

INDIANA WOMEN ORGANIZING


Political leaders in Indiana who still
cherish the belief that demand of
woman for equal suffrage and for leg
islative reforms can be either ignored
or laughed out of court will do well to
take heed of a very significant move
ment that has just been launched at
Indianapolis This is TO be known as
the WOman's Legislative council of In
diana, and its purpose is to unite on
certain legislation to be urged on the
state legislature next January with a
view of concentration of effort and
more effective results.
There is already represented in the
new council the Woman's Franchise
league, the Indiana Federation of
Clubs, the WOman's Christian Tenn
perance union, the Consumers league
and various indianapolis organizations
of women. Others 10 be invited into
the coalition are the Equal Suffrage
ASSOCIATION, the Indiana branch of the
National Council OF Mothers, and the
Jewish Council of Women. Very plain
ly the women are rapidly learning the
game. They are planning to waste
no more ammunition in sporadic ac-
ton. Actually united and pulling to-
gether they will constitute a force that
can neither be ignored nor denied

NOT IN THE USUAL PLACES
Surgeons Find Every One Of Wom-

They Belong.

Elkins. W. Va.-Is a person Of re-
versed anatomy who uses the right

And II such a person gets appendicitis
where the appendix ought to be. but
Ii not what has that person got?
These are but two Of the questions
puEzling West Virginia physicians
since Mrs. Laura Cassel of Widdel.
W. Ga, was operated on at the Davis
Memorial Hospital here. Upon oper-
ating. the surgeons failed to find an
appendix. Examination then disclosed
that the appendix was on the left
side and unaffected, that the heart
was on the right side. the right lung
where the left should be and vice
versa, and liver, kidneys and other
organs Just opposite where they be
longed. But she carried out her prin
sipal tasks with the right hand, |,
was noted. and hence the question:
is she right-handed or left-handed! ?

weS.nru Newspaper Union News Service.
Quarantine, La.-GaStOn SchmulZ'
New Orleans man, and American con-
sui at Aguas Calientes, Mexico, STANDS
out as one of the real heroes OF the
Mexican situation. The story told by
those having dealings with Consul
Schmutz, prove concusively that the
Orleanian stood manfully to his task
in the darkest hours of the trouble.
He did not leave, even though he was
ordered to do so, until the last Amerl-
can was safely on his way 10 the
coast. He then followed, but where
ever he found people in trouble or
danger. Consul Schmutz tarried to
help them.
II. G. Bretherton, vice consul at
Aguas Calientes, who came here on the
liner Monterey, vouches for all that IS
told about his superior's conduct. Mr..
Bretherton is native of Butte, Mont,
and has served under Consul Schmutz
for two years.
Mr. Schmutz covered himself with
glory" said Mr.. Bretherton.
"The consul spent days and nights
going through the district adjacent
to Aguas Calientes doing all in his
| power to assist Americans, as well as
people of other nationalities. April
%. a mob of several hundred MeXt-
cans, mostly roughs and young boys,
marched up to the building occupied
by the American consulate, and when
Mr.. Schmutz appeared demanded that
he haul down the American flag.
"Mr. Schumtz stood in the half light
of the doorway" declared Mr.. Broth
erton, land told the rabble that ne
could not comply with their request
In order to gain time we telephoned
the Governor, and he lost no time in
coming to our assistance. But before
his arrival, however, the sullen lead
ers of the mob told Mr.. Schmutz tina
they would tear the American flat
down with their own hands, and rais'
the Mexican colors in it's stead"
Reaching behind him on small
table, Mr. Schmutz picked up Colt
regulation forty-fire, and in lout
voice he informed his visitors: 'Yo1
may take this flag down, but you will
have to do so over my dead body
The flag stayed where it was"
Consul Schmutz still is in Mexico
and he may stay there until the Stat
Department orders him to leave. H
is we'll liked by the better class O
Mexicans, as we'll as his own country
men, and his noble stand in the pre-:
emit crisis has won him universal con
mendation. Mr.. Bretherton is of tn
opinion that many of the stories no'
being told by the refugees are e.
aggerated, and this does grave ii
Justice to some of the people in Mex

stand of Huerta and other so-calle

Speaking of this great engineering feat, MI.
Schildhauer said:
The electrical control system has decided ad-
vantages over hydraulic or air systems. This Will
be readily granted when It is known that the
flight Of locks at Gatun. for instance, extends
over q distance Of 6,152 feet and the principal
operating machines are distributed over dis
lance Of 4,115 feet. To control the machines
locally meant a large operating force distributed
practically along the full length OF the locks.
which has invariably been the practice hereto
fore. Such force would be difficult to coordi
nate into an efficient operating system The
matter therefore resolved itself into centralized
control, which reduces the number Of operators
operating expenses and liability to accident
Moreover. it fixes responsibility.
Another argument for centralized control Is
the fact that by having all control switches CEN
traIized on one switchboard It permits the vari-
Gus control switches to be mechanically inter
locked in a manner to minimize. II not entirely
