How Children Can
Earn Good LivIihood

United Press.
EUGENE, Ore, Aug. 22-Any child
can have thousand dollars saved up
by the day he is Fl il his parents or
others will loan him a piece Of land
fifty feet square and II his school and
community can furnish him the right
kind of instruction, guidance and on
couragement in making the most Of
the land.
This was the declaration today Of
DR.. G. F. Hodge, professor Of social
biology in the University Of Oregon,
who was one of the first men in the
United States to work out the school
garden system. This he did in Wor-
cester, Mass. where he was head Of
department in Clark university. All
this nature work, DR.. Dodge believes,
should form portion Of child's
education, and the profit Of $50 or 10
q year to be put at interest, would
be pure gain.
II have little girl in Cleveland, .
said DR.. Dodge, "who made $250.8S
out Of back yard garden patch last
year. am not all certain that this
is not the record production Of the
land. Her plot was only 90 by 62
feet. or course, she had the best
land, the best direction and the best
markets.
General profits from a garden. Of
course, can not run anything like
this, though sometimes wonderful
profits can be made by the discovery
Of some little special crop to meet q
special demand in location Of NOR
nal scarcity. A boy or girl might,
for instance. pretty nearly control a
snpsly of some such thing as mint or
water cress, in a district where they
are hot common. Seeds and high
bred poultry are other possibilities for
4 small plat Of land"

BLOCK TESTING OF
MOTORS WITH GAS

The cost of gasoline is compara-
lively high, and, by way of reducing
factory overhead, a number of De-
troit makers lately have taken to
testing their motors with city gas
instead Of with gasoline 1t has been
found that an economy of as much as
$50 q day can be effected by some
makers. It has been found that the
city gas at 46 cents per 1000 feet is
cheaper for the purpose than gaso-
line at 9 cents gallon. A compari-
son Of costs reveals that an engine
developing 1901 horsepower con-
sumes 458 feet of gas which costs
20.61 cents an hour; while 2.24 gal
lors Of gasoline would be required to
develop the same power, and the cost
would be 1876 cents an hour with
gasoline costing Is cents a gallon.

Rebels Return Arms Taken
From American Visitors

Douglas, Ariz.-With severe rep
rimand administered by Colonel A. M.
Guerrero, constitutionalist commander
along the Sonora border, to the cap
tain of the squad which deprived four
Arizona militia officers of their side
arms Wednesday, and the return of
the swords Saturday, the incident was
closed.
When Governors Hunt, of Arizona,
and Mcdonald, of New Mexico,
crossed the border Wednesday to visit
Aqua Prieta the border guards took
the side arms of the officers. 1t has
been customary here to lay aside
weapons when crossing the line.
In his defense of his action the cap
tain of the guard said the Aqua Prieta
military authorities had not been noti-
fled in advance about the visit of the
governors and he thought the advance
of Arizona military and citizens was a
possible outcome of the Tampico Incl
dent. When he saw Ia automobiles
filled with men coming from Douglas,
with officers carrying swords, he be-
lieved at first it was an attacking
party.
The captain apologized for the af-
front he said he had offered the two
governors and their aides.

Britain Extends Sympathy;
Delay Has Caused Crisis

London-Most of the London morn
ing papers in their editorial comment
on the Mexican situation, display SYM
pathy with President Wilson in the
difficulties which have arisen with
Mexico, while at the same time con-
tending that those difficulties were
largely brought about by his idealistic
policy.
Much curiosity is expressed over the
intentions of the United States be-
cause, although it is believed Huerts
will yield, it was pointed out that
should he prove obdurate the mere oc-
cupation of Tampico would not have
much practical effect, and that the
blockade of Vera Cruz would be the
only measure that would deal serious
blow to the Huerta regime.
The Daily Telegraph cannot believe
that President Wilson intends to put
into effect a resolute military inter
vention, and sees no hope of putting
an end ''to the anarchy which has re
suited from the Wilson policy of mora
| intervention. -
