N0RTH AVD SOUTH AllfRICA m
ACCORD N DEALING WITH MEJCO

Washington, ID. C.-Powers OF NORTH
and South America already have
agreed upon a definite plan for deal
Ing with the Mexican problem, and
when the Pan-American conference IL
resumed In New York the program
will be formally ratified.
This information came from Score.
tnry Lansing, who though he would
not discuss details, said he WAS decid-
eddy encouraged over the prospect.
The confidence expressed by Off
ciAls generally here, that the confer
ees who are representing the United
States, Brazil. Argentina, Bolivia, Qua
temAla and Uruguay will be able to
shape course likely to bring peace
and restore constitutional government
In Mexico, is due to the fact that all
are agreed that most of tho people OF
the revolution-torn republic are thor
oughly sick of war and with encour-
agement from friendly powers will
promptly join In the movement to
clean house.
A large section OF the country and
vast majority OF tho people have not
been involved In the fighting which
followed the overthrow of Huerta.
Moreover. II has been reported to
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing that only the fear OF reprisals by
the military chieftains has kept the
people In subsection while the country
has been impoverished by the battles
OF relatively small forces of armed
men.
Reaching their conclusion on these
reports, the Pan-American conferees
are understood to have determined to
present the situation to all OF the var
ious elements In Mexico, addressing
directly not only General Carranxa,
Villa and Zapata, but the governors OF
states, all military leaders with any
following and other influ-
entail men, urging them to come to-
gether for caucus at which a sub
stantial provisional government might
be framed.
government 10 set up would have
Inc support OF the United Stateu and
other American republics.

Public Should Bite the Bubble to
Be Safe at Drinking Fountains

Washington, ID. C.-"Bite the bub-
ble'' is the latest health hint from
the United States Public Health and
Marine Hospital service. An expert
for the Marine Hospital service says:
IF improperly constructed or inn
properly used. the bubbling drinking
fountain may be greater menace to
health than the common drinking cup.
The other day an inspector of the
Public Health service took seat be-
side bubDling drinking fountain in
railway station and watched the way it
was used. Forty-seven different per-
sons, III men, 20 women and Ia chill
dren used the bubbling fountain. In
almost every case the lips were placed
almost completely around the metal
ball from which the water spurted.

tore like mad down the path in front

fremont was not too dull to have
noticed his friends change of attitude
