Washington, May 29.-President VIII
son Will issue statement concerning
the Mexican question, according to an
announcement at the White House. 1t
is understood the statement will an
fast becoming intolerable. While it
will not give the impression that the
United States will intervene In Mexi-
can affairs Immediately 1t is under
stood 1t will be warning to the Mexi-
can leaders that conditions must be
improved at once. 1t will be made pub
lie after it has been discussed at q
cabinet meeting.
1t became known that the President
has been strongly advised to recognize
the Carranza government in Mexico,
particularly in view OF the possibility
Of its early return to power In Mexi-
co City. Officials declined to say
whether this point will be taken up in
the Presidents statement.
President Wilson, as head OF the
American Red Cross, issued an appeal
to the American people to contribute
money and supplies of food for the re-
lief Of starving Mexicans. The Presi.
dents appeal, addressed to the people,
was as follows:
THE American people with char
acteristic generosity and an impartial
spirit Of brotherhood with all nations,
have contributed literally for the re.
lief of the appalling sufferings caused
by the unprecedented war in Europe.
There has now risen condition of
equally great suffering and need close
to our own borders. Due to several
years Of internal disturbance, the un.
fortunate people of many parts of
Mexico have been reduced to the verge
OF starvation, and unless assistance is
rendered them many may die for lack
OF food.
THE American Red Cross is ready
to undertake relief work for the bene.
fit OF the Mexican people. appeal
most earnestly to our people. there
fore. to contribute both money and
supplies of food to mitigate the suf-
fering and misery so close at hand.
All contributions in money may be
sent to the American Red Cross,
Washington, or to its local treasurers.
Those who are able to contribute corn,
rice. beans or flour are requested to
communicate with the American Red
Cross headquarters. Washington, for
instructions.

The camel, say men OF eastern ex
perience, has the most disconcerting
mouth in the world until you are used
to him. You think you will direct him,
say, to the right by pulling rein that
way. But the consequence Is that
great face with large eyes and larger
lips turns back over its own neck
and looks you in the eyes. But the
direction Of the cameIs progress
meanwhile contMues unaltered
Never a companionable beast. he
has at least one human weakness--an
Unsuitable love for tobacco. One OF
the methods used by Arabs In tanning
wild camels Is to fix kind of cigar
holder In the animals mouth and in
sert huge, loosely rolled cigar. As
soon as the camel starts to draw, 1t
becomes remarkably docile, and quick
ly learns to inhale the smoke and emit
1t through the nostrils. The one draw
back of the system Is that the know
ing brute becomes confirmed smoker
and refuses to bulge without his ci-
gar.

II came out In the sobbing Recital
that Hubert had presented her with
5000 prize-winning Pomeranian, direct
ly related to the famous Fiji, owned
by the Countess Skidoogan of Bill
carty.
Later on, he seemed to feel that the
Pomeranian had come between him
and Ethel. The Situation became
more and more tense and finally, one
day in Egypt, within plain sight OF the
majestic Pyramids, he kicked Precious
ever so hard and raised quite Swell
ling.
The Legal Adviser said Death was
too good for such Fiend.
In Vienna, though. that was where
he went so far that Separation be-
came inevitable.
Ethel had decided to take an $780,
900 Pearl Necklace she had seen in q
Window, 1t was easily worth that
much, and she felt sure she could get
ii IN without paying Duty. She had
been very successful at bringing
things Home.
She could hardly believe her Ears
when Hubert told her to forget II and
back up and come out of the Spirit
World and alight on the Planet Earth.
He had been Heartless on previous
Occasions, but this was the first time
he had been Mean enough to renig on
q mere side-issue such as coming
across with the Loose Change.
Ethel was simply determined to
have that Necklace, but the unfeeling
Whelp tried to kid her out of the No
ton.
Then he started In to Pike. He sug-
gested a $4,000 Tarara of Rubies aud
Diamonds as Compromise. Ethel be-
came wise to the Fact that she had
joined out with a Wad.
While she was pulling daily Sick
Headache In the hope Of bringing him
to Taw. the Maharajah of Umslopagus
came along and bought the Necklace
That was when Ethel had to be
taken to Rest Cure in the Austrian
Tyrol, and she never had been the
Same Woman since.
To all who had come pleading for
Reconciliation, Ethel simply hung out
the Card, Nothing Doing"
After Brute has jumped up and
down on the Aching Heart of Girl
of proud Lineage, he can't square
himself In 100000 years.
So said Ethel, between the flowing

Furthermore. there had been hope
less Incompatibility. In all the time
they were together, they never had
been able to agree on a Turkish ciga-
rette.
The professional Home-Blaster said
she had enough on Hubert to get her

Ethel said she hoped so and to
please push II along, as she had quite

Once there was a full-blown Wild
Peach, registered in the Family Bible
as Susan Mahaly
Her Pa divided his time between
collecting at Toll-Gate and defend
ing the Military Reputation of Andy
Jackson.
The family dwelt in what was then
regarded by Cambridge, Mass, as the
Twilight Zone of Semi Culture, viz,
SWEET County, Pennsylvania.
Susan wore Linsey Woolsey from
Monday to Saturday. She never had
tempered with her Venus de Milo
Topography and she did not even sus-
pect that Women had Nerves.
When she was seventeen she had a
Forearm like a Member of the Turn
verein.
She knew how to Card and Weave
and Dye. Also she could make Loose
Soap in kettle out in the Open Air.
Susan never fell down on her Salt
Rising Bread. Her Apple Butter was
always Al.
1t was commonly agreed that she
would make some Man a good House
keeper, for she was never sickly and
could stay on her Feet sixteen hours
at a Stretch.
Already she was beginning to look
down the Pike for regular Fellow.
In the year 1910, the Lass of seven
teen who failed to get her Hooks on
some roaming specimen of the Oppo-
site Gender was in danger of being
whispered about as an Old Maid. Cell
bacy was listed with Arson and Man
slaughter.
Rufus was destined to be an Early
Victorian Rummy, but he could lift a
Saw-Log, and he would stand without
being hitched, so Susan nailed him
the third time he came shopping
around the Toll-Gate.
Rufus did not have a Window to
hoist or Fence to lean on But
there is no Poverty in any Pocket of
the Universe until Wealth arrives
and begins to get Luggy,
Susan thought she was playing in
rare Luck to snare a Six-Footer who
owned a good Squirrel Rifle and could
out-wrassle all Corners.
The Hills of Pennsylvania were be-
co'>ing congested, with Neighbors not
more than two or three miles apart, so

After Hiram gave her the Black Silk
and paid for the Crayon Engagements
of her Parents, Jennie did not have
the Face to Bone him for anything
more, but she longed in secret and
Hiram suspected.
Jennie was Soprano. Not reg
ular Soprano, but CountryTown So
prano, of the kind often used for aug
nenting the Grief at Funeral. Her
voice came from point about two
inches above the Right Eye.
She had assisted a Quartet to do
;hings to "Juanita," and sometimes she
tossed out hints about wishing she
could practice at Home. Jennie was
q Nice Woman but she did need Prac-
tice.
Although Hiram was tighter than
the Bark of Sycamore, he liked to
have other Women envy the Mother
of his Children.
When he spread himself from a
Shin-Plaster, he expected Fanfare
of Trumpets,
1t took him a long time to unwind
the String from the Wallet, but he
would Dig if he thought he was boost

| BY stealthy short-weighting of the
ountry Trade ard holding out on the

numerous Kopecks in one corner OF
the Safe.
While in Chicago to buy his Winter
Stock, he bargained for two days and
finally bought a Cottage Melodeon,
with the Stool thrown in.
Jennie would sit up and pump for
Hours at. a time, happy in the knowl-
edge that she had drawn the Capital
Prize in the Lottery of Hymen.
In the year 1886 there was some
Church Wedding at the County-Seat.
Frances, daughter of Hiram and Jen-
ME, had knocked the Town a Twister
when she came home from the Female
College wearing Bangs and toting a
| Tennis Racquet
All the local Gallants, with Cocoa
| Oil in their hair and Rings on their
Cravats, backed into the Shrubbery.
Hiram had bought her about $1,000

tuition of Learning. All she had to do
was look at a Villager through her
Nose-Specs and he would curl up like
an Autumn Leaf.
A Cuss from Chicago came to see
her every few weeks.
His Trousers seemed to be choking
him. The Pompadour was protected
by Derby of the FriedEgg species.
It was the kind that Joe Weber helped
to keep in Public Remembrance. But
in 1886 is was de Rigeur, au Fait,
and la Mode.
Frances would load the accursed
City Chap into the high Cart and ex-
hibit him up and down all the Resi-
dence Thoroughfares.
On nearly every Front Porch some
Girl whose Father was not interested
in the First National Bank would peer
out through the Morning Glories at
the Pageant and then writhe like an
Angle-Worm.
The Wedding was the biggest thing
paugh stopped over on his way from
Peoria to Decatur.
Frances was not a popular Girl, on
account of being so Uppish, so those
who could not fight their way into
the Church climbed up and looked
through the Windows.

The Feeling at the County-Seat
was that Frances had taken Des-
perate Chance.
The Caterer with Colored Help in
White Gloves, the ruby Punch sus-
pected of containing Liquor, the Jap
anese Lanterns attached to the Naples,
the real Lace in the Veil, the glitter
ing Array of Pickle-Jars, and a we'll
defined Rumor that most of the i'm
ported Ushers had been Stewed, gave
the agitated Hamlet something to blat
about for many and many day.
The Bachelor Of Arts grabbed off
by the daughter OF Jennie and the
granddaughter of Susan was the
owner of Real Estate In the congested
Business District of Town which
came into Public Attention later on
through the efforts of Frank Chance.
His front name was Willoughby, but
Frances always called him Dear" no
matter what she happened to be think
ing at the time.
Part of State Street had been wished
on to Willoughby. He was afraid to
sell, not knowing how to reinvest.
So he sat back and played safe
With growing Delight he watched the
Unearned Increment piling up on ev-
cry Corner He began to see that he
would be fairly busysall his life, jack
ing up Rents.
The Red-Brick Fortress to which he
conducted Frances had Stone Steps In
front and a secret Entrance for lowly
Tradespeople at the rear.
Willoughby and his wife had the
high courage of Youth and the Finan
cial Support of all the Money Spend
ers along State Street, so they start
ed in on Period Decoration Each
room in the House was supposed to
stand for a Period. Some of them
stood for good deal.
A few of the Periods looked like
Exclamation Points.
The young couple disregarded the
Toll-Gate Period and the LogCabin
Period but they worked in every one
of the Louies until the Gilt Furniture
gave out
The delighted Caller at the House
beside the Lake would pass from an
East Indian Corridor through all Early
Colonial Ante-Room into a Japanese
Boudoir and, after resting his Hat.
would be escorted into the Italian
Renaissance Drawing Room to meet
the Hostess. From this exquisite
Apartment, which ate up one years
Rent Of a popular Buffet near Van
Buren, Street, there could be obtained
a ravishing glimpse Of the Turkish
Cozy-Corner beyond, including the
Battle-Axes and the Red Lamp.
Frances soon began to hob-nob with
the most delicatessen Circles, includ-
ing Families that dated back to the
Fire of 1871.
She was not at all Dizzy, even
when she looked down from the Noun
tain Peak at her yappy Birthplace,

Willoughby turned out to be salts
factory Housemate. His Voltage was
not high, but he always ate Peas
with a Fork and never pulled at the
Leash when taken to Musicale.
In front of each Ear he carried a
