II the United States army is to 60
into Mexico it should first return to
the border and reorganize and not at
tempt invasion until it has force OF
100000 men" This declaration was
made IN lecture given last night at
the Rock Island high school by Ser
geant Major Gustav H. School, soldier
of fortune and veteran of the Madero
and Carranza' revolutions. Major
School is British citizen of German
birth and has fought in all parts of
the earth. He declares that his re-
cent experience in Mexico leads him
to believe that the American army
will never take Villa until it has TAX
en- Mexico
The one person hated more by the
Nillistas and Carranzistas than each
other is 'gringo,' Villa has probably
already pointed out to the Mexicans
that the 'gringoes' are coming and has
told lies about your soldiers. The
Me3icans have not yet organized, but
before long they will The American
army is in a very perilous position y
These were the grounds on which
Major School stated that he based his
statement that the American army
must be prepared to resist Mexico
when it goes after Villa
School declared that his advice
would be to leave Mexico altogether
and keep an army twice as large as
the one now in Mexico on our borders
He showed the weakness of the Amer
lean army on the border by telling that
at the time of Villas invasion of Co.
lumbus the few soldiers protecting it
did not dare to fire because they had
but five rounds Of ammunition each.
In speaking of the criticism of the
president for not recognizing Huerta
Major School defended President Viii
son most warmly. He declared that
Wilson was one man the capitalists
could not bride. who would not rec
ognize the "bloodiest fend that ever
cursed Mexico" next to -Diaz, and
who proved himself in his integrity to
be a second Abraham Lincoln"
Attacks Capitalists.
Major School was particularly bit
ter against the capitalists of all COun
tries who had invested in Mexican
land. He declared that the land had
been sold to them by the poems, who
were forced to sell by Diaz, and that
the poems had been paid 5, 10 and %
cents an acre for land that was the
richest on the western hemisphere.
He declared that if the United States
should take hold of Mexico, it
would be these rich land holders who
would profit thereby and that they and
their brides had been the support of
Diaz, the downfall of Madero and the
support of Huerta.
School closed his talk with a re-
markedly good sword drill and dis
play OF the trophies which he had
gathered during his career. His talk
received the most profound attention
from his audience and he was much
appreciated by all.

APPLY POWDERS WITH CARE
II II Is Laid On Too Law
Ishly.

Many women whose complexion is
blotchy, red and unclean looking, can
trace the source of their trouble to a
superabundance of powder. Even the
best, purest powders on the market
will clog the skin pores, If applied too
heavily and often.
Powder was not meant to cover the
face so 1t looks as IL the -four barrel
had been visited head first. 1t was in
tended as a means of removing the
shine from the skin. Is there any
thing more disgusting sight than a
woman with her chin and nose white
with powder? 1t seems that the wom-
en- who affect the headlight powder
system" have the largest noses, the
homeliest chins. OF course, the pow
der only focuses attention on these
features.
The tint of the powder used must
depend on the coloring of the user.
Blondes must use one color, brunettes
another, and according to the degree
of fairness or darkness. Also for eve
ming use there are certain shades of
powder which are much more becom-
ing than the tints most attractive in
the daylight.

Tasmania is great farming and
fruit country and there is a good local
market for all the spent oil shale
from the distilling retorts. The rock
from which the oil has been taken
sells at 50 per ton for agricultural
uses. The assays do not disclose any
rich fertilizing matter in the spent
shale, yet when IL is pulverized and
distributed over farming lands and
garden soils 1t produces such wonder
full results as to make the demand for
1t greater than the supply. II appears
to act on the soil mechanically by
aerating II, and possibly, by condensing
moisture from the atmosphere and
transferring II to the crops. II is ex-
pected that the prices obtainable for
the spent shale will eventually cover
mining and retorting costs.-Dr. Ar
thur Selwyn-Brown, in The Engineer-
ing Magazine.

HANDS REQUIRE MUCH CARE
Woman's Attractiveness Depends 9
Great Deal on Their Dainty and
Proper Appearance.

Beautiful hands are a sign OF good
breeding, it is said, and certain 1t is
that no one who neglects her hands
can expect them to look well Only
regular attention and steady care
bring forth any results in identifying
the hands. The girl who works for
her living need not despair, however,
for II she will devote a few moments
each night to her hands they will look
almost as well as those of the lady of
leisure.
Be careful first OF all as to how the
hands are washed-in tepid water is
the most satisfactory, for IL is not too
cold to remove the dirt and not too
hot to redden the flesh. Constantly
changing soap is very bad for the skin.
A good soap should be selected and be
used regularly without change. BE
sure that all the soap is off the hands,
then dry thoroughly, so that the flesh
is not left damp and moist.
Once a month is none too often to
go to professional manicurist, but by
watching attentively how the work Is
done, you may be able to do your
manicuring at home the rest OF the
time. The monthly visit will just

Zeppelin Bombs.

Basing his calculation upon the
data which were procured when the

France. in 1918, Aeronautics estimates
that the maximum capacity OF the
modern Zeppelin for carrying high ex-
plosives is about ~ tons, and that
they cannot possibly carry the Ave
tons which have been claimed for
these ships of the air.
The same authority estimates that
in crossing the 300 miles from the
German base to the English coast a
ton and a half of fuel is consumed,
and that IL ton and a half of explo-
sive is carried static state OF equilib-
rum will have been attained by the
time the coast is reached, the lifting
power thereafter being dependent
upon the lifting planes. Explosive
bombs carried by the Zeppelin weigh
1876 pounds and the incendiary bombs
about twenty pounds each.
