DON'T WANT GIRLS TAGGING.
Why Small Boys Don't Like Girls as
Playmates.

In the September Woman's Home
lCompanion Mary Heaton Worse writes an
lamusing story entitled, THE Independ'
ence of sarah" IL is full Of wise obser'
walton of child life. In the following ex.
tract taken from this story. Alice, the
mother of a family, learns why her small
son Robert does not want his sister
Sarah as playmate;
"Her sense of justice made Alice feel
that Robert should let Sarah into the
ont OF door games. She had a theory
that little boys and little girls play the
same games IL they are brought up nat
urally together. For the most part
Sarah shared this opinion Of her moth.
or's; she shared IL strongly; she shared
il vorcifcrously. Robert differed.
"IHe put il this ways Fellows don't
want a girl forever tagging around and
always yelling

right. but IL she's going 10 play, Why

TO this Alice responded. It's her
feelings that get hurt

|WARSHIPS
NEAR CARRANZA
He Is Expected to Reject the
American APP
peal
DANIELS EXPECTS
NO TROUBLE
But the Battleships Keep on
Toward His Har-
Dor

Washington, D. G., Aug. ls.--Re,
lsponses to the Pan-American appeal call
ing upon the Mexican factional leaders
| to end their. civil strife still were being
awaited by administration officials yes
terday, although both Generals Carranza
and Villa have received the communica-
ton.
That Carranza will make an unfavor-
able response to the appeal on the
ground that foreign Intervention would
be unwelcome to the Mexican people, is
the belief of his representatives here.
His friends claim he viii say that he
already has brought peace in large part
of Mexico; that he is in full control of
that territory; that he is restoring or
der, and that after removal of the CAPT
tai from Vera Cruz to Mexico City he
will consent to confer with the revolving
factions. In other quarters, however, it
was said that he might agree on a con-
ference based on proportional represen-
tation.
Secretary Daniels has ordered the bat
tleships Louisiana and New Hampshire,
EN- route to southern waters, to proceed
Immediately to Vera Cruz, where they
are due to arrive Wednesday, to replace
the gunboats Marietta and the Sacra
mento. The Marietta has been ordered
to Progreso because of difficulty in get
ting American sisal shipments out of
that port. Secretary Daniels explained
that no further alarming reports had
come from Vera Cruz and no trouble
was looked for.
Nevertheless, state department dis
patches from Vera Cruz yesterday said:
"Highly inflammatory placards have
been circulated throughout the town to
the |. w. w. The placards call for
mass meeting on Aug. Is, directed prin-
cipally against prospective intervention
or interference in Mexico by the A. b. G.
Authorities profess ignorance of the doc
Carranza forbade the mass meet
ing, but the posters remain on the walls.
No active anti-foreign demonstration
has been reported, but officials here are
over the situation, as it affects
Americans and other foreigners. The
New Hampshire and Louisiana are due
in Vera Cruz to-day.

IS YOUR TOILET SOAP SAFE?

Many toilet soaps contain harsh, in.
furious alkali. Resinol Soap contains
absolutely no free alkali, and to it is
added the Resinol medication. This
gives it soothing, healing properties
which clear the complexion, comfort
tender skins and keep the hair healthy.

interesting reminder of low nature

stress. The fear of the failure of
the worlds food supply has often
been expressed, but nature has never
really been found wanting in the past
and there is no good reason to expect
disastrous shortage in the future.
Nature is Itch in undeveloped re-
sources, as we'll as in the fruits we
have already learned to garner, and
this marvelously productive earth of
ours can be made to sustain many
times the number of its present in
habitants. Local disturbance and
temporary scarcity at points are in
evitable, but with increasing intel
ligence and unabated industry, aided
by developed methods of distribution,
the generous soil Of world as yet
only partly under cultivation can
never fail to produce food in stuff

BUYING PEACE IN HAYTl.

Rear Admiral Caperton is said to
have surprised the Haytian polti-
clans, as we'll as American observers,
when he disbanded 1856 SOLDIERS of
the revolution" and sent them home
happy, but tle explanation is simple
enough The admiral understands
the character of the negro revolu-
zionist, and Of the average white
Spanish American reVOlutiOnist, for
that matter. The Haytian leaders
talked patriotism and independence,
while on the trail of power and loot,
but doubtless the average Haytian
musket-toter was frankly in the game
for plumber, and Wien achievement
seemed doubtful and the American
admiral offered them small meas
ure Of what they were looking for
they fell over each other in their
haste to accept.
The 1876 dusky warriors had never
seen Admiral Caperton, but when
they heard that bareback, coffee, ba-
con and "a small sum of money for
every soldier ready to quit and go
home awaited them on the Nord Al
exis, they raced for the gangway and
crowded on board. The rations were
American, but the money, distributed
in sums of a few dollars to each of
