WILL CARRANzA BE RECOGNIZED?

Ii all reports from Mexico are true, it would
seem that Carranza is in fair way to gain recog-
milton at the hands of the United States govern
ment He claims to control -sixths OF the ter
ritory of the republic and, admittedly, has all
the ports of entry.
Carranza has the virtue of honest and his
hands are not blood stained. He has never as
sassinated any of his political foes and has been
accused of no graft.
He is man of culture and considerable abil-
ity. On the other hand, Carranza is narrow and
bigoted He is obstinate to a degree and in
nately suspicious. He is distrustful Of President
Wilson and the United States and is not, nor
ever will be, friend of this country.
Taking everything into consideration. it is
doubtful that Carranza is big enough man to
restore real peace and lasting prosperity to
Mexico. Americans, thoroughly conversant with
the men and their methods, will regret that it is
not Villa, >instead of Carranza, in whose favor
Kismet has cast the die.
No doubt President Wilson is well advised as

No, the little fly we swat so hard can't hear a
thing cant even hear the swatter when he

more directions than we can, and that's how he
lodges his pursurers SO successfully.
The fly is but one of many insects that cannot
hear, in fact, almost all insects are deaf. Men
who have studied the senses of animals tell us
that the sense of hearing is seldom found in low
er forms of animal life, though many of the deaf
little insects have keen sense of sight, touch and
smell. They have experimental with the loud

The operation has been named the
"OConnor method" after the ortgina-

surgical operation for squirt eyes is
to shorten one Of the eye muscles by
taking out section. but it has the
disadvantage that frequently the su-
lures used to refasten the muscle will
tear loose because Of the strain. In
the new method the strain Is taken up
by the muscle itself and there is no
tearing Of the sutures. One of the
hospital physicians sad:
I'm the few cases in which the new
operation has been applied the suture

OF muscle gradually flatten out. with

KANSAS MAN WOULD
PROHIBIT COSMETICS
Other Odd Bills In Legis|a
lures Of Various States,

Washingtos.-Many odd bills have
been passed recently or are pending in
legislatures Of various states of this
country.
Representative McGinnis of Greeley
county. Kan, introduced a pure CON-
plexion bill' prohibiting the use of
cosmetics of nearly every kind, besides
race powder, rouge, perfume, false
hair, hair dyes or bleaching materials
for the purpose of deceiving, advertis-
ing or creating false impression"
1t also prohibits piercing ears for rings
and forbids the wearing of earrings.
The act applies only to women under
forty-five years and provides a punish
ment of $25 fine for each offense.
The queerest of all the odd bills in
troduced in the present Colorado leg
islature comes from Senator William
Adams, Democratic leader. This pro-
vides that chickens shall go to roost
between the hours of and Z o'clock
p. m. and provides penalties for viola
ton Of the curfew. Another senate
measure declares jackrabbits eligible
to election as state senators and COT
tontails as representatives. A third
measure provides that bulls in the road
must wear high power headlights.
"Freak" bills in Massachusetts in
clude one to have all weeds that cause
hay fever and summer asthma remov-
ed from all roadsides; bill that all
bachelors over thirty five years pay an
annual tax Of S. and one that doctors
and dentists who perform operations
Of any kind upon the human body
shall not wear any hair on their faces.
Senator Robertson Of Holt county,
Neb., who ten years ago tried unsuc-
cessfully to have the national guard
abolished. has bill which "sentences"
every member of the national guard to
ninety days service for the state in
road and bridge work.
Churchgoers in Texas must leave
their firearms outside when going to
worship If bill which Representative
Miller has introduced in the legisla-
ture becomes law.
