A good joke on an editor who
went one evening to report a party
at home recently blessed with
new baby. He met his hostess at
the door, and after the usual
salutations he asked after the
baby's health. The lady who was
quite deaf, and suffering with the
grippe, thought he was asking after
her cold, and answered that
although she usually had one every
winter, this was the worst one she
ever had; it kept her awake at
night a good deal and at first con-
fined her to bed. Then noticing
that the newspaper man was get
ting nervous she said she could tell
by his looks that he was going to
have one just like hers, and asked
him to 60 and sit down.

ON GERMAN FUNDS
Gen. Huerta Planned to Regain
Power in Mexico.
Plot Involving Berlin Govern
ment Revealed i'm N. Y.

New York, Nov. 25.-Federal Off
Gals are in possession of allegations
of a giant conspiracy by which mil
lions of dollars of German money
were to revolutionize conditions in
Mexico.
The plot was to restore General
Nictoriano Huerta to the dictatorship
and by this means bring this country
into war.
The allegations were made today by
the representative of the Carranza
government Documents were sub
mitted to show:
planned to play in starting the new
revolution in Mexico.
Second-His meetings with aides in
this city and conferences with German
agents, including Captain Franz Rim
tenlen and member of the German
embassy.
Third-The arrangements for the
shipment of arms and munitions to
Mexico.
Fourth-The plots for causing de-
fections from Villa and Carranza
armies.
Fifth-The financial arrangements
for the conspiracy by which a $4,000
600 fund had been established in this
country.
The story revolves around Captain
Franz Rintelen who is detained in the
tower of London. Rintelen arrived in
this country on his last trip at the
same Tune Inat huerta came from
Barcelona, Spain.
Every detail in the hands of the
government is represented as coming
from Huerta's correspondence and
other documents once in his possess
sion.
The Carranza officials were enabled
to obtain the discriminating docu-
ments through a member of the group
of conspiratOrs who had posed as d
warm supporter of General Huerta
In reality this agent was placed in
this position by General Carranza to
report on every movement of the
Huertistas.
The information will play an impOr-
tant part at the forthcoming trial of
General Huerta in San Antonio, Texas.
1t is being used in this city in connec-
ton with the present federal grand
jury investigation into the activities
of Captain Rintelen in this country.
1t was rumored in the federal
building today that England had al
ready made representations for the
surrender of Rintelen to this country

Dear Mrs. Thompson: % 1 have a
| beautiful daughter eighteen years old
| who gra duated from high school last
! spring. She spent the summer visiting
an aunt in another state, but now she
| has returned home. Her father says
| he will not allow her to stay at home
and do nothing-that she must get to
work and earn her own spending
ton to send this daughter to college,
but my husband was opposed to let
ting her leave home, and he would not
plan for her going by saving money.
1 certainly do not want her to work
and she doesn't want to, but her father
insists. Can you suggest any argu-
ment to convince him that work is
hardening to a young girl?
CD My husband says that she can
go to business college and prepare for
stenography if she wants to, and he
will pay her expenses, or she can get
to work at something else at once If
she has to work, what would you SuS-
gest?
90 Do you think a working girl has
az much chance to get married as one
who stays at home?
Cd l think that every girl should
have experience as a business woman
before she marries. 1t gives her an
idea of management and the value of
money which she can get in no other
way. A business experience also forth
flies her against poverty. Often hus-
band is sick or dies and wife has to
earn the living for herself and family.
If she has had experience she has very
little difficulty getting a position,
while the woman who knows nothing
but homework can only keep board
ers, and at this she usually fails be-
cause she does not know the business
side of the work and is not a good
manager.
Work is not hardening to a girl who
has the guidance of wise parents and
=. A. II
it is not hardening to many others,
but of course there is a greater ten
dency for hardness to creep into the
life of a girl who has to put her small
earnings into room and board and has
not the encouragement of a nome.
CD Stenography equips a girl for
something definite. 1 would advise it.
CD Yes, she has as much chance to
get married and perhaps more, be-
cause she has opportunity to make
friends at work as well as at the social
gatherings she attends away from
work. Besides, worth while men have
more respect for girls who try to pay
their own way.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ID 1 am
troubled with blackheads and little
pimples. Can you tell me what will
help them. I am very careful to wash
my face thoroughly morning and night
and whenever 1 have been out where it
would get dirty.
(2) Is coffee bad for the complex
ion? I drink it every morning and
along without it. d. L. T.
Cd To cure blackheads make an
ointment of one ounce of soap lini-
ment and one ounce of ether; mix At
night scrub the face thoroughly with
hot water, using a complexion. or other
soft brush. After wiping, apply the
mixture to each of the spots and let it
on over night. Wash off in

I the morning with hot water. Continue
until the spots have disappeared. Then
/ twice a week wash the face with this
mixture, removing the liquid at once
! by rinSing with clear water If there
are large pores, wipe each over with
a little alcohol.
For pimples that frequently appear
with blackheads make an ointment OF
grams of sulphur precipitate and
twenty grams of potash soap. Rub
over the pimples at night This may
be used at the same time as the black
head mixture.
CD Coffee is very bad for the COM
plexion, when more than one cup is
taken at each meal. You will not have
clear skin as long as you drink it to
excess.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: While away
visiting last summer l met young
man who is nineteen years old He
and 1 liked him better than any other
young man I ever met. He seemed to
think quite a bit of me, too.
% When 1 returned home / sent
him a card. Was that the proper
thing to do?
CD After about two weeks he wrote
me a letter. How long should 1 have
waited to answer this letter?
CD 1t has been two weeks since 1
answered it and 1 have not as yet re-
ceived an answer. How long should a
boy wait to answer girls letter?
(4) 1 am sixteen years old and this
is the first boy friend 1 have ever cor
responded with. He is a country school
teacher and appears to be a gentle
man. Am 1 too young to correspond
with boy friend if my parents do
not objest? SNOOKUMS.
Cd If the boy helped to entertain
you by taking you places, it was all
right to show that you appreciated it

rule unless he asks her to write.
CD You should have waited at least
two weeks.
(3) He is not under any obligation
to write at all and so can take as long
as he likes to answer you.
ca No.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a girl
eighteen years old. When L was a
little girl we lived neighbors to some
people who had a boy one year my
senior. 1 fell in love with boy. About
a year ago he left town. He wrote to
me at least once a week, and he al
ways told me that he loved me. My
mother took a dislike to him and
would never let me go with him. About
a week ago he came back to this town
and asked me to go to show with
him. My mother would not let me.
What would you advise me to do?

away from him. Do you think it
would be all right for me to run away
from home and be married? I am

MERCER IN FEAR
Primate AbandOnS His Trip to
December COnsistOry.
Afraid Germany Would Prevent
His Return to Belgium.

Rome, Nov. 25.-Fear that Ger
many will prevent his return to Bel
GUM, if he attends the December con-
day as the possible explanation of the
abandonment of the trip of Cardinal
MERCER of Brussels, who expected to
go to Rome shortly
Berlin's insistence on a German It'll
nerary is said by the Messagero to
have aroused his apprehension.
That the Germans would consider it
eXpedient to bar the Belgian cardinal
from his own clerical jurisdiction is
doubted in diplomatic circles in Italy,
despite the Messagero's view.
Cardinal Mercier's change of plans
in connection with reports that ar
engagements have been cancelled for
the Rome visit to have been paid by
Cardinal Hartmann of Cologne, was
taken, however, as limiting at some
hitch in the program the Vatican has
considered for an attempt to restore
peace.
Cardinal Hartmann actually left
Cologne for Rome and is now in
Switzerland in consultation with
Prince Won Buelow and the Prussian
diplomatic Representatives at the Vat
lean. 1t was officially announced in
Berlin also that Cardinal Mercier's
journey would be facilitated in every
possible way.
In some quarters it is believed he
is trying to smooth out difficulties
which have arisen and that a fresh
attempt may yet be made to initiate
negotiations. At present the situa-
ton is regarded as so muddled as to
be difficult to understand or to war

The customs inspectors passed him on

they took him to Ellis Island, where
he will be held while his case is de-
