EARLY END
OF Border POwwOw Is Now Promised
Secretary Lane Is Assured Of Ad-
ministratiOn's Approval OF
Mexican Commissions
Efforts.

Washington, November 19-Armed
with President Wilson's complete APP
proval of his course, Secretary Lane
will return to Atlantic City tomorrow
determined to bring the sessions of
the American-Mexica joint commits
sion to an early conclusion. He is still
hopeful that an agreement as to the
boarder situation can be reached, but
II was indicated clearly today in Of
fetal circles that the Joint conference
is entering on its final phase, agree
ment or no agreement.
II the commissioners find 1t impossi-
BILE to formulate a plan, the view taken
here will be that the prospect of set
Ting border disputes through diplo-
macy will be remote. officials make
no predictions, however, as to what
steps the Washington Government
might find it necessary to take in that
event to insure the safety of border
towns and ranches.
Commission Is Supported
Secretary Lane is understood to
have found President Wilson, Secre-
tary Lansing and Secretary Baker in
full accord with him on every point
when he laid before them last night
in a three-hour conference at the
White House a review of the efforts
the American commissioners had made
to reach a settlement. Every step pro-
posed by Mr.. Lane in behalf of his
colleagues was approved by the Presi-
dent and the Secretary returned to his
task backed by the unwavering sup
port of the administration in whatever
course has been mapped out.
1t is an open secret that Luis Ca
brera, Carranza Minister of Finance
and president of the Mexican commits
sion, has proved the stumbling block
in the way of reaching an agreement
Commissioners Bonillas and PAM, it is
said, have been ready to approve sew
eral different suggestions for cooper
alive action. Cabrera, however, held
out for control of any point operation
by a Mexican military commander,
concession the American commission
ers did not feel warranted in making.
Double Patrol Probable
1t is believed here that the Amer
lean commissioners have now aban-
doned the effort to frame an agree
ment satisfactory to the Mexicans in
every detail and will renew tomorrow
their original suggestions that each
Government patrol its own side of the
line independently, hut with the I'M
derstanding that American troops will
pursue into Mexico on a "hot trail"
and bandits who attack border towns
Coupled with that suggestion, presum-
ably, was the statement that General
Pershing's forces would be withdrawn
gradually from Mexico, and that no
large force would be sent across the

WHY?
Because people realize that the big
ger the loaf the better the quality
and that you get more for your money
in the dime loaf than in the six-cent

Velops into another snake, while the
original snake remains unharmed!
IT'S almost a shame to throw the
clear light Of fact upon so fascinat-
ing a tale; but the truth is that the
glass snake is really a lizard, minus
external limbs. Then, when swatted
with a stick or trod upon by the
proverbial heel of man, the breaks"
in Mr.. Snake always occur in that
part of his body which corresponds
to the lizards tail. and never in the
body itself. The pieces do wriggle

this is really the commission which
passes formally upon our coinage.
But samples of coins go from the
minis to the Director of the Mint, at
the Treasury Department. for ex-
animation in the laboratory there, OF

He has the supervision of our coins
Immediately after they are minted;
and he ascertains whether or not they
conform with the law. The coins are
examined most carefully as TO execu-

weight.
Testing Gold Coins.
The test for the exact amount Of
pure gold in a coin is not a simple
one. According to the law, 900 parts
out Of 1000 in the coin metal must
be pure gold. the remaining 100 be-
ing copper. or copper mixed with sill
yer not in excess Of ten parts. To
test the coin. this alloy must be re-
moved so that 1t can be ascertained
whether or not the gold which re-
mains is 900 parts fine; but there Is
wi at IS known as a 'limit OF toler-
orce" which is one-thousandth above
or below the 900 parts required.
BY fusing process the copper and
lead In the pieces Of coin being
tested are separated from the gold;
and then the silver is extracted with
nitric acid, leaving the pure gold.
The Treasurer OF the United States
Is John Burke, and he will admit to
number of interesting facts con-
corning the money YOU spend. For
example. there is really but fifty-six
cents worth Of silver in a silver dol

Even more so than with gold, silver

of 1912, the Mexican War, and at the
age of seventy-flve he gave directions
in the carly days Of the great struggle
Of the Civil War. His whole record
is that of an able and accomplished
officer and one Of the most sterling
representatives of the volunteer SOL

Andrew Jackson was another of
our volunteers. OF Irish ancestry,
Jackson had a taste Of military ways
before he was fifteen years of age,
when he was taken prisoner and twice
wounded for refusing to black the

the high qualities ot our volunteer SOL

Zachary Taylor was a volunteer In
the Mexican War. known as THE Old

of a Revolutionary soldier and was
reared on Kentucky plantation.
where he was accustomed to hard
work With little or no education,
young Taylor worked hard to earn his
living. At the age of twenty-four he
became an officer Of the Seventh Ken
lucky Infantry. During the War OF
1912 he earned distinction. and in the
Black Hawk War and In Florida he
gained additional experience and
fame. In 1916 he took charge of our
army in the war with Mexico and
