.SLAYDEM SUGGEST
JOINT INTERVENTION


CINCINNATI. Feb. 22.-Congress-
man Slayden of Texas, in an address
suggested joint intervention Of the
American governments to settle the
Mexican trouble.
Slayden said in part:
Il thoroughly agree with large
part of President Wilson's Indian
apolis speech in which he touched
on the strife in Mexico. However,
there is danger, very great and i'm
minent. that forces may be loosed
If the Mexican trouble continues very
much longer, which no man can
control.
Il feel quite confident that more
serious trouble can be prevented. But
it canot De done by ignoring the
just demands of Americans in Mex
leo.
1T may be reasonably assumed
that all the peaceful and orderly
governments oft his continent would
like to see the Mexican nuisance
abated | suggest a joint intervention
which really need not go beyond a
representation by all, or nearly all.
the American governments. 1t will
accomplish what we pacificists and
would probably do it without war.

GARAGES MUST STORE
GASOLINE UNDERGROUND
Storage Tanks Within Fire Limits
Must BE Buried Says State
Fire Marshal.

South Bend has felt the grip of the
wholesale orders sent out from the
office OF the state fire marshal that
garages. cleaning establishments and
other local dealers must place storage
tanks containing more than 10 gal
Ions of gasoline below ground. The
orders were sent out about 10 days
ago with a provision that the changes
must be made before 40 days elapsed.
Local garages are not hard hit by
the order as they already have storage
tanks underground. Cleaning estab-
lishments however Will be affected by
the rules. The dangers from eXplo-
sions of gasoline in fires has made the
enforcement of the rule imperative
according TO word received from the
office of the state fire marshal
A food Of inquiries have been sent
to the fire marshal concerning the
new regulations. There is no escape
from the rules within the fire limits
but outside of the fire limits gasoline
in large quantities may be kept above
the ground provided it is stored in
tanks constructed of metal of the
required thickness.

GRAND DAY FOR
FAT MEN OF CITY
Cool Weather il JOyfuIIy Received by
Heavyweights of This
Vicinity.

This has been a great day fo,. the
fat men of South Bend and ali of
them have been in good spirits to-
day.
II was cool, that's the reason.
out at Henry Swaim's weather bu-
reau, the thermometer registered only
70 at noon which is recognized by the
best authorities as being the hottest
part of the day
Not only today but the greatest
part of the summer has been made
especially for the heavyweights of this
city South Bend is passing through
one of the coolest summers it has
had in many years and is seems TO be
suiting everybody. Not even the ice
cream men are worrying for il is Gus
tomary to have ice in the summer
whether it is hot or not.
The cool weather is holding the
corn back somewhat but the farmers
don't care much about that. The only
danger in the cool wea ther lies in the
fact that an early frost may come
along and nip some of the ears-the
corn's ears, not the farm hands'-but
there is little proba bility of that ac-
cording to the farmers
ON Sunday it came within two de-
grees of reaching the high point OF
the summer the mercury having
reached SO during the day. There
probably were some picnic parties
spoiled by the rain about the middle
of the morning but everything was q

the time seemed to stand in the way
of staging it. If it is held it prob
ably will be the first week in October.
According 10 those interested in the
pageant it will take at least two
months or more to make all the ar
rangements for the celebration. An
affair of this kind would represent a
considerable outlay OF money besides
the time il would take. The latter
reason however would be the only one
TO prevent the pageant
Plans have been made to hold the
semi-annual centennial celebration
during the week of July but it was
impossible to get everything ready.
Ii was planned TO have il last week
during which time the history OF
South Bend from the time it was first
established as an Indian village and
later made a settlement known as the
Big St. Joseph station Of the Ameri-
can Fur Co, by Pierre Navarro. the
first white settler, TO the present time.
The city was Incorporated as such on
May p, 1865.
Arrangement .Or a fashion show
for South Bend were discussed by the
retailers this afternoon as well Is de-
Gliding upon the fate Of the pageant
II had been planned TO hold the fash
ion show and the pageant at the same
time but IL was thought that October
would be too late for such an affair
and q pageant could not possibly be
held before then.

ASK To SHORTEN
HIGHWAY BRANCH
EIkkart Men Want to Eliminate
Certain Portions of Lin
coin Road.

Representative from Elkhart ap-
peared before the county commission
ers Monday morning and presented a
proposition whereby il is proposed to
shorten the length Of the Lincoln
highway between South Bend and
Elkhart and also TO eliminateVa rail-
road crossing. BY this plan the high
way TO Elkhart would follow along the
north side of the G. ). 3. x y. /. in
terurban track from Osceola TO Elk
hart
Under present plans the Lincoln
( highway crosses the interurban tracks
at OsceOla and continues straight TO
/ the county line and thence on TO
Goshen. At the county line the Elk
hart highway as now planned, would
follow northward along the county
line, crossing the interurban tracks
again, and thence from the county line
directly east to Elkhart. BY the new
plan, presented to the county COM
missiOners Monday, St. Joseph county
would have to build one-half II OF
new road and Elkhart county )uld
have to build four miles of ne Dad.
r. l.. Arnold, lawyer. and ). NJ.
Smith, contractor. of Elkhart, with w.
l.. Stephenson of Goshen, were the
men who presented the new plan TO
the commissioners. Ii was said that
I
the proposed new road had been Sc
cured in Elkhart county. The claim
was made that nearly the whole bur-
den of the change would rest on Elk
| hart county but that it was favOrably
considered for the reason that it
would afford better communication
with South Bend.
The county commissioners were of
the opinion that if the new road should
be built by Elkhart county there
would be little doubt but that St. JO-
seph county would make the connec-
tiOn from Osceola as requested. No
assurance of such action could be
given, however, and the commission
ers merely agreed TO secure an esti-
mate of the cost of the work to be
considered at the meeting of the board
next Monday. MeSsrs. Arnold and
Smith will be present again at that
time.

CINCINNATI, -.
Examinations are held practically
every daysfor government positions
where there are applicants but it is
comparatively few of the applicants
who qualify for the positions. The
examinations are all rigid and an ap-
plicant must be well equipped to quail
ify for even the ordinary positions.
The number of those who apply or
pass for the higher paying positions is
extremely small so that ii is unlikely
that there will be any applicants in
South Bend for the positions named.
The last examination held in South
Bend was in March for the position of
rural mail carrier. The railway mail
service and pOstOhice service are per-
haps tse most popular among those
seeking government jobs. The vacan-
cies in these departments have been
few recently and there has been no
examination within the last year and
half
There is a place of some sort wait
ing for nearly all Of those who are de-
sirous enough of holding a govern
ment position to make preparation.
There are many applicants for the or
dinary positions but the competition
is comparatively small for the places
requiring technically trained men who
can earn large salaries.
