Bowling Green, Mo-, June 20.
Miss Genevieve Clark, the 20
year-old. daughter Of Speaker
Champ Clark Of. the national
house of representatives, was
married at the home of her par

The ceremony took place on

trees that adorn the grounds.
Speaker Clark gave away his
daughter and the Episcopal cere-
mony was read by Rev. Robert
s. Boyd, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church Of Louisville,
Ky.
Never before in the history of
the state has there been a we'd
ding like that Of the speaker s
daughter. A general invitation
had been issued to all the people
Of Missouri, and from all parts Of
the state they 'came-some by
train, some by carriage and some
by automl!oqlbyiles. Thousands from
this pike Sconnty and hundreds
from other parts Of the state
mingled on the lawn with social
and political notables from all
parts Of the union.
After the festivities Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomson went north on
their honeymoon. Their destina-
ton was not announced.

Grave CONDITIONS IN MEXICO
Capital of Republic Scene Of Anarchy
and Famine, Brazilian Minister
Tells Washington.

Washington, July 2.-Faced with un-
paralleled conditions of famine and an
archy in the City of Mexico. threaten
ing the safety of foreigners, officials OF
the United States are giving serious
consideration to measures OF relief.
Long dispatches sent by courier to
Vera Cruz by the Brazilian minister at
the City of Mexico are before Secre-
tary Lansing and President Will
son, who may authorize an effort
to obtain the consent of General
Carranza to send supplies into
the old capital through neutral agen-
cies. The influence of the diplomatic
corps in the City of Mexico is being
counted on to provide for the removal
of foreigners from danger zones of the
fighting.
only the opening of the railroad
from the City OF Mexico to Vera Cruz,N
said one of the Brazilian minister's
messages. can bring relief to the sit
uation."
The dispatches, the first the depart
ment has received in nearly two weeks
from the Mexican capital, revealed
that while the cable from the city was
not cut Carranza authorities refused
to permit messages to pass. 1t is
understood inquiry will be made by
the United States of General Carranza
to learn the responsibility for the stop
page of diplomatic communications.
While it appears that the Zapata
forces still are in control of the capt.
tai. fighting is continuing in the out
skirts of the city against the reen-
forced columns of Gen. Pablo Con.
zales. the Carranza commander.
The political situation in Mexico. it
is generally believed, is dependent
upon military operations. Continued
success by the Zapata forces in resist.
ing the entry of Carranza's troops into
the capital has deadlocked operations
in the south while in the vicinity of
Aguas Calientes General Villa claims
to have retaken Lagos and defeated
General Hill, who succeeded General
Obregon in active command of the
Carranza forces. This report is con-
tradicted by Carranza officials, who
declare Obregon is having continuous
successes.

HERE'S HOW TO KEEP YOUR
AUTO FROM 1URh|he TURTLE

On account Of the large number
of automobiles turning turtle now
adays, killing and manning many
of the occupants, there has been
much thought on the matter by
which such accidents will be less
frequent 1t has been said appar.
emily with good logic, that the turn
ine over of automobiles is not caused
BY bad roads or fast driving; it is
because the driver loses his head and
consequently control Of the machine.
The driver of an automobile when
in danger OF turning turtle feels the
wheels skidding into the ditch and
intuitively turns the front wheels to
the center of the road. This has a
tendency to turn the machine at
right angles to the direction of the
momentum and turning over is in
evitable if the machine is running
at brisk speed. Instead of doing
this thing, the experienced driver
will turn the front wheel to
the bottom Of the ditch when the
rear wheels are felt skiddine; he re-
mains that way until he has the
machine under control. The prin-
ciDle of the rule is that as long as
the wheels are kept in line of mo.
mentum the car cannot turn over
but as soon as the machine is head.
ed across the line of motion then j,
must roll. If the rate of speed at.
tanned is sufficiently great.

If there are thirteen persons in
vited for that dinner party have
a care and watch your step. Su-
erStit ious persons say that surely
if there are thirteen at table one
will die before the year is out.
That superstition, like most others,
goes hundreds of years back. 1t is
founded on the fact that there were
twelve plates at the Last Supper.
Some one has figured out law of
probabilities that shows that of thir-
teen persons of different ages, one
is likely to die within year from a
certain date. But if there were
fourteen or fifteen at the table the
death chance would be increased.
1t would seem, then, that adding
another person or two to break the
superstition and to get away from
the fatal thirteen would in reality
be making the chances of some one
dying all the greater.
The bowling of a dog is certain
TO pretend death. Certainly. There
is no means of knowing how many
peroons hear a dog when he is
bowling, and it is altogether prota-
BILE that some one Of the neighbors
will die. They usually do. Yet
on the other hand, many persons
have heard a dog howl and lived to
ripe old age in spite of it. And
maybe the dog howled because lie
was cold or hungry or both. &c
ahead and be superstitious if you
want to.
Suppose you split the salt at the
table. What then? Nothing much
except that some one, as usual, is
scheduled for an early death. Sail
in ancient times was held to he 6
symbol of purity and friendship
To spill the salt is to break the
image Despite this wellfounded
superstition, it is surprising the
number of persons who have sur.
vived tumbled-over salt cellars.
And there are dreams. What
can be said of the persons who
''interprets' dreams? Where do
they get it? There are many, many
persons who believe in dreams and
the most general rule seems to be
to take dreams contrary.
To dean of an anchor is good; il
gives hope of good fortune. If
sick person dreams Of white cloth

illness or death. 1t is not good tc
dream of raiment of many colors
Black clothes in a dream means {

Quarterly Review Shows Gun
Killings Are Fewer, Knife
More Frequent.

Although the number OF homicides by

weapon law, the COMMISSIONS said. I'M

The Increase In the numter OF knife
cases, however, reflects another outlet
for pent up vicious temperament, TO con-
troll which remedial legislation. as In

There were 3 per cent. more arrests
for the quarter than during the cor
responding period last year. and 10 per
cent. more than during the frst quar-
ter OF 1916. The percentage Of con-
victions FOR the quarter was 1881. as
against 1914 for tho same quarter last
year. The percentage has been over

The percentage OF convictions TO ar
rests In 1914 was 1855. in 1913, 1851.
and in 1912. 7l52.
The review shows that outside OF the
