velop and use the natural source Of power at our hands.
The influence on all of Mexico, that would be exerted
by a great industrial school here, and by a demOnstra-
ton here Of special care for the workers regardless of
nationality, would be very great. FL Paso might be
come a great central labor market, for two nations. El
PasO might turn forth a steady stream of trained
workers in fbers and fabrics, clay, wood, and metal, as
well as educated and skilled farmers. FL Paso might
encourage here the establishing of large manufacturing
industries, but FL Pasos output Of skilled workmen
might easily suTpass any possible local needs.
The surplus Of trained men and women, boys and
girls, would either drift back into Mexico to carry ideas
Of advanced knowledge in the arts, or they would scat
ter over the United States, as industrial needs might
require. Naturally there would be a gradual breaking
down of the language barrier between the two countries.
We can see in this idea a germ of something immensely
important in international relations.

neutral in this war, but only armed force and dire
threats of resistance and IeprsaL.
Germany has secured BulgaTias assistance. That
leaves but a narrow strip Of Servia or Rumania to
penetrate on the way to Turkey. Germany and Austro-
Hungary will fight through, the easiest way. If a
path through Rumania be needed, that path viii be
taken OF at least attempted. Greek soil, for the time
being will be a base for the allies, regardless Of the
fact that Greece is technically neutral. Greece cannot
and will not fight against the allies, but 1t IS likely that
Greece will not fight for them.
Military power and naval power are making claws"
today as fast as they are breaking them. The law of
necessity" runs both ways. Not conscience, but fear,
makes the nations cautious at the neutral frontiers.
If Greece should resist the allies, the allies would force
their way through No permission was asked. It Is
another Luxembourg.

When is Daddy coming home? %
asks the little fellow, hugging his Ted
dy Bear.
And Mamma happily answers, Papa
will be home soon. Then we'll all
give him a good big squeeze and a
kiss, and go to meet the sandman"
All is peace and happiness. It's the
same in thousands of homes-no doubt
It's often that way in your home.
Then suppose the pail falls un-
eXpectedly. Papa is taken away
suddenly. All is changed. A
cloud closes over the homes hap
by horizon. Anxious and thought
full friends do what they can TO
help the grief stricken ones. The
question is heard on all sides,
What provision has been made
for the wife and babies? Will
they be taken care Of? Will they
lose the home? Was he insured?"
1t may happen in your home at any
time. But when it comes you should
have everything SO arranged that those
o leave behind will be provided for
without a question of doubt.
1t does no pay to leave so import
ant a matter to chance. 1t is fraught
with too much danger-not to you, no,
but to the very ones who feel 1t the
most. You need a good policy in a
reliable company. You need it now.
