On his return from Paris few
weeks ago, General Nictoriano Huer-

Mexico for the purpose of creating
revolution When he left New
York ostensibly on a trip to the
Pacific coast he was Swallowed.
When he reached Ell Paso he and
five confederates were imprisoned on
charges of conspiracy to violate the
United States neutrality laws. Huer-
ia expressed readiness to procure
bond in reasonable amount. Huerta
seems to have good bank account
with which to raise. His trial was
set for July 18th and he and his
confederates will lanquIsh in Jail un-

WARNING AGAINST FIRES

With the opening of the season OF
fire danger on most of the national
forests, the forest service is sending
broadcast a warning that more than
half of the forest fires in the United
States are due to carelessness or
other preventable causes, starting
from campers. railroad locomotives.
brush burning, incendiaries. and saw
mills.
This statement is based on an
analysis Of statistics compiled from
the forest fire records of the last sea-
son, when more than 1000 fires
reported on national forests alone
and approximately 10000 on state
and private holdings in the eighteen
states which received federal cooper
alton In fire protection under the
Weeks law namely, Maine. New
Hampshire, Vermont. Massachusetts.
Connecticut. New York New Jersey,
Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
South Dakota. Montana. Idaho,
Washington and Oregon.
Forest fires destroy millions Of
dollars worth of timber and other
property every year, and in some
years cause considerable loss of life
1t has been estimated from the best
information obtainable that forest
of approximately 100000 acres.
with total loss of at least $780,
900.

CHANGE OF HABITS

Dr' Leonard H. Hirschberg sug-
ses's we often need to change our
thoughts and get out of old ruts.
He says: "Subconscious inf,u-
ehce gets in control of all ordinary
proceedings which make up our
lives.
Mental and muscular activity.
routine procedures of behavior and
point of view must be aroused from
the slough of sodden habit. Conduct
ana intellectual decision must be
brought more often into play. Pity
'he person or the nation that cannot
mend its muscles and its mind.
EXperimentally, it has been
proved in laboratories of psychology
that the will and the intellect in or
der to avoid the submarin destruc-
ton of habit, must be stirred con-
stantly by new devices.
Life is made up of a thousand
little incidents. Do not fear a
change in daily habits.
Your tooth brush must be put on
new nail, your bed shifted to
different corner, your telephone re-
moved from the desk, your ride or
walk to work altered, your style of
cuffs, shoes, cravats and clothing
frequently changed, your education
and learning resumed, renewed and
frequently replenished, even though
you are as old as Mthuselah and as
poor as job"
