SAFETY FIRST ADVICE
GIVEN TO EDUCATORS

A safety first" circular, addressed
to the teachers of California and sug-
gesting the idea of instilling into the
minds of children the advisability OF
stopping, looking and listening, as
ways of preserving the life and
trength of the state, has just been
sued by Edward Hyatt, state super
intendent of public instruction.
The circular, which is the tenth of
series on the conservation of health,
authorized by the legislature of 1918,
calls the attention of the teachers to
the fact "that the safety first slogan
stands for something that has place
IN their work, as it particularly con-
Germs the welfare of the next genera
tion."
"a few years ago." reads the circu-
lar, mo special caution was necessary
for people to take care of themselves.
1t was only necessary to come in when
it rained, to look out for Indians or
wild beasts behind the bushes, and
other things like that Now there are
thousand perils in every direction.
We have so many machines, so many
swift-moving vehicles, such high
speeds, such new and unknown de-
vices everywhere, surrounded by such
multitudes of people that some special
instruction is necessary to the safety
of the people. Children need to be
cautioned and taught regarding these
new sources of danger. Their minds
need to be adjusted to the new con-
ditions."
The bulletin calls attention to the
danger in broken electric wire, the
menace of the third rail, the horrible
possibilities of trespassing upon the
rights -of-way and the tracks of rail-
ways, of boarding or leaving an cleo
trio car in the wrong way, of jumping
on trains and wagons to "steal rides"
and ether sources of danger, not only
to children, but to adults.
During the last twenty years." the
circular states, "trespassers to the
NUMBER of 1872 were killed or in
iured on the railroads of the country.
Twenty-Five thousand of them were
under eighteen years of age. Many
under ten. Think what an army of
children $4,000 would make, They
would reach around the world if one
stood by every mile post! And they
would have been saved had they kept
off the railroad tracks. Experienced
railway men and trainmen never cross
tracks on foot or horseback, with rig
or auto, in town or countryside, with
out first looking up and down the
tracks for train. Should not others
still more take this precaution?
"When we add to these sources of
accident a hundred thousand auto
mobiles swift ft-careening along every
road in our state, together with motor
cycles. traction engines, flying ma
chimes and other swift advancing
forms of locomotion, the wonder is
shat any of our children escape long
enough to grow up.
"They can hope to escape only by
riding on the shoulders of their elders
and by profting by the wisdom and
caution that come down from the past.
Somehow, they must grasp in few
iays the caution that has required a
bousand years or more for the race
to learn.-if they would survive"

Nothing happened. but the usual cour-

Mexicans are sullenly holding aloof from

Gen. Funston said to-day that II was

On orders FROM Washington Gen. Funs-

20 MEXlCANS ARE EXECUTED
Federals Kill Men Who Shipped Sup
plies to Vera Cruz-Huerta Pre-
pares for War.

Vera Cruz, Mexico.-More than 20
men have been put to death in the
last week by soldiers of Gen. Mas
because they violated his order that
no food supplies be brought into Vera
Cruz. Two Mexicans were hanged on
being caught bringing milk into the
city to be sold to American troops.
Details of the execution were brought
here by another Mexican who sue
ceeded in getting through the Federal
lines with supplies.
Confirmation of reports that Presi-
dent Huerta is preparing for war was
given by Eel Dictamen, a Mexican news
paper. 1t announced that Gems. Luque
and Lis, with 1900 Federals. were
marching to join Gen. Navaretta at
Jalapa, that Gen. Juvencio Robes and
500 Juachitecan Indians were march
ing up the coast to Vera Cruz and
that Gov. Breton of Morelos had sent
a carload of arms and cartridges to
Gen. Zapata. The arms were accepted
by Zapata, but he refused to join
Huerta, Ell Dictamen says.

FOREIGN MINISTER OUSTED
Huerta Asks Rojas for His Resiena-
tion-Rumored That Dictator Is
Losing Control of Situation.

Mexico City.-A surprise was sprung
on his cabinet and capital by Huerta.
He forced Senior Lopez Portillo y Ro,
jas, his foreign minister, to resign his
portfolio and quit the cabinet. Por,
tillo was taken completely by sur
prise, but at once submitted.
At the same time, IL is well known
that Huerta has recently regarded Sc
nor Portillo with extreme jealousy, as
not only possible rival for the Mex
lean presidency, but was likely can
didate to be chosen In the event of
Huerta being removed. Huerta also
strongly objected to Portillos attitude
towards the mediation movement, be-
lieving that Portillo was at the bot
tom of it and was furthering it for
his own advancement
Huerta sent Senior Alcocer, his min
lister of the interior; Senior Lozano,
minister of communications, and Sc
nor De La Lama, minister of finance,
to Portillo to demand his instant res.
ignation. Portillo was in his office
at the foreign ministry. The sub-sec-
rotary of foreign affairs, Senior Es-
toya Ruiz, was with him.
At first neither Portillo nor Ruiz
could credit the demand. When Por-
tillo handed over his portfolio, Senior
Ruiz also at once resigned with his
chief as matter of delicacy. 1t is
thought that the final step in the
breach came when Portillo failed to
induce the European governments to
join in and embroil the mediation.
Portillo had no notion of his COM
ing fall at his interview with the
newspaper men. His last official mes
sage to them was of the arrange
ment of the suspension of hostilities.
1t Is not known what steps he pur-
poses to take to insure the safety Of
his life. Some of his friends think
he is not in danger. OTHERS have
warned him.
Senior Portillo became foreign min
lister early this year. Previously he
was governor Of Jalisco He came into
prominence last year by writing a
brochure on the Monroe doctrine,
which he held was not binding on Eu-
rope and depended solely on the CO.
erciye power possessed by the United
States.

an officer of the American Red Cross
Society, has been released from pris-
on in Zacatecas and has been guaran-
teed safe journey to Vera Cruz by
Gen. Victoriano Huerta.
News of DR.. Ryan's release and safe
ty was received here in an official
dispatch from Senior Portillo y Rojas,
Gen. Huertas minister of foreign re-
lations, and was communicated to
Consul William w. Canada.
The release of DR.. Ryan was or
dered by Gen. Huerta as soon as he
received a message from Consul Can.
ada telling him of the perilous posi-
ton of Dr. Ryan, who was condemned
to be shot.
DIR. Ryan is known personally to
Gen. Huerta and is highly regarded
by the dictator. The bravery of the
American physician and his devotion
to duty won for him the admiration
of Gen. Huerta during the tragic days
when Gen. Huerta and Brig.-Gen. Fe-
lix Diaz were fighting for the mastery
of Mexico City.
