Woman Reduces Weight
Is Pounds in Five Days
to Get on Police Force
Bv Associated Press

Chicago, ILL.,, July Undetermined
to be a policewoman, one candidate for
the civil service test reduced her
weight twenty-five pounds in five days,
it was made known to-day from the
examining headquarters. The outside
weight allowed is $50 pounds. This
candidate reduced from 225 pounds to
200 pounds in the five days between
July 9 and a.
She did it by sucking ice and lemon
peel instead of eating, and by taking
vigorous exercise, she told the civil
service commissioners.
"Give me five days more" she
pleaded when told that the extra
twenty pounds she carried would bar
her still, despite her remarkable feat
of reduction. The chance was granted
her and her daily weight reports will
be checked.
'I don't eat or drink except little
water to keep my throat from parch-
ing" she said. For dinner last night
/ had piece of ice the size of a wal
nut, half a alice of lemon peel and a
swallow of water"

FINAL STAND MAY
FIND DICTATOR At
HEAD Of HIS ARMY
Some Officials Believe Huerta
Will Take Personal Command
of Federal Forces
HIS FAMILY LEAVES CAPITAL
Many Persons Say Provisional
President Will Leave Mexico
City Today
HIS FAMILY LEAVES CAPITAL
By Associated Press

Washington, July 15.-With Huer-
ta's family and several close friends
in flight to-day from Mexico City, the
resignation of the dictator was eX-
pected to take place at any time by
the State Department and members
of the diplomatic corps in Washing
ton. Dispatches from Mexico City
stated that Huerta and his minister
of war, General Banquet, might fol :
low their families from the capital to
Vera Cruz some time to-day.
In some quarters, however, the view
was expressed that Huerta might hold
out longer, and that the departure
of his relatives only meant that he
was preparing to make a final despe-
rate stand against the advancing Con-
stitutionalists, commanding his troops
in person. Some administration Off
cials said they were not convinced HUI
erta was ready to quit, while Querido
Moheno, former minister of commerce
and in the federal cabinet, was quoted
as declaring "Huerta will not leave
Mexico so easily as is generally
thought"
Want Fighting to Cease
Nevertheless, diplomates in Wash
in3ton directed their efforts at avert
ing fighting in the federal capital and
arranging some means of transferring
power to the Constitutionalists with
out further loss of life. The Consti
tutionalists, it was declared, would
not recede from their stand against
any parleys with their enemy that
might imply recognition of Huerta or
his successor. 1t was hoped some way
might be found to bridge that objec-
ton.
Carranzas forces continued pre-
parations to-day to press their cam
paign against Mexico City. Villas
army, gathered in Chihuahua. was
ready for the movement southwark,
while General Obregon's forces flush
ed with their recent victory at Quad
alajara, soon would be in shape, it
was said, to resume their campaign.
That the Constitutionalists would be
in Mexico City within a few weeks, re-
gardless of the action of the Huerta
government, was the belief expressed
by some officials to-day.

Strike Oil in Rear Of
Bowman's S Store While

Workmen digging an elevator shaft

This striking of oil brings to mind

Wise men are ever alert to

Men and women who have no

They realize that It gives them

THE EDWARDS BILL WOULD
BAR ALL BUT DEMOCRATS
Measure Proposed by a Georgia Con-
gresham to Legalize Segregation.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Edwards
Of Georgia, author Of bill which has
for its purpose the complete separation
Of white and colored employees in the
government service, also wants to
abolish the present modus operandi Of
the civil service. He Is said to have
asserted on the door Of the house,
while speaking in defense OF his bill
Feb. "a, that II was his desire to reOr-
ganiZe the civil service so that only
white Democrats would be eligible to
hold positions under the new system.
There are many OF US in the house
who would like to see the civil service
abolished" said Mr.. Edwards. Then
we could not only get rid Of the Ne
groes in the service, but we could put
Democrats in. 1t seems, however,
that the friends Of the civil service
are In the majority, and we are unable
to get il abolished.
MY idea would be to abolish the
present rotten system, and then re-
write another civil service statute aft
er we had got Democrats and white
people. In this way the Democrats
would be covered under the new law
and would hold on under ii. Ii Is
politics, but our whole government
system Is one Of politics and parties.
I'VE can't keep the parties strong
unless we give the positions to those
who help win victories. II putting
the Republicans and Negroes out OIL
jobs IS the attitude Of a spokesman,
then l am u spokesman to that extent.
for ! certainly have strong cOnvic-
tons along that line
The Edwards bill provides that the
executive heads Of the several depart-
ments shall issue orders segregating
the white and Negro employees in ey-
cry branch Of the government service
and that hereafter white clerks shall
not be required to occupy the same Of
fees or wOrkrOoms with employees or
clerks OF African blood or descent, nor
shall any white clerk or employee be
placed under the orders, direction or
supervision Of any person Of African
blood or descent"
