OBJECT TO GASOLINE BATHS
Mexicans Not Fond Of Treatment But
Are Forced to Submit to 1t by
Uncle Sans Army Sanitarians.

How Uncle Sans soldiers connected
with General Pershing's expedition in
Mexico have been protected from dis
ease and discomfort by forcing Mexi-
can laborers with whom they are
forced to come into contact to take
gasoline baths is told by a civilian
physician who made trip from the
border to General Pershing's head
quarters in a touring car bearing two
officers in charge of motor truck
caravan transporting supplies to Per-
shing's men.
The military road, which has been
built since the American troops went
in, is in many places almost impas-
sable. In order to get over the bad
places two of the % trucks were filled
with Mexican laborers hired by the
United States government to help
stalled trucks out of trouble. They,
of course, came in contact with the
Americans who operated the trucks,
and it was necessary for the army
surgeons to make sure that they were
in good health. They were typical
Mexican laborers and, therefore, none
too clean. The army sanitarians also
had reason to believe that some of
them were infested with insect foes
that might disturb the peace Of their
slumber. Accordingly, before the la
borers were finally accepted, they
were vaccinated against smallpox and
inoculated with a typhoid fever pre-
ventive. This, of course, they did not
like. And after they had been con-
WINGED of necessity of protection from
sickness the subject Of insects was
preached. The sanitarians had decid-
ed that the only safe course was to
battle each Mexican in gasoline. This
order the laborers naturally resented,
but no time was to be lost in argu-
ment, and they were won over by
short but effective means. One by
| one they were stripped, and both they

Treatment After a Fall.

It is quite mistake to think that
when a person falls from a great
height his heart stops before ever his
body touches the ground. Breathing
may be suspended for a few minutes,
but if artificial respiration is applied
at once, life can be restored in many
cases. This was proved in New York
when q girl fell a distance of 200 feet,
with no more serious results than some
fractured bones and few internal in
juries. She compares her sensations
while falling to the faintness one feels
when travelling downward in jerky
lift. It was only in the moment Of
landing that she lost consciousness.
Doctors assert that such accidents
would not so often prove fatal if ar
tificial respiration were more gener-
ally tried. Just because the patients
pulse is not beating it is fatal error
to think he must therefore be dead.
Treat him as you would man rescued
from drowning, and in nine cases out
of ten you will save his life.

Gated that the bones had been mani

July 13 Professor Skinner of the Amer

mound at Tioga point, near Sayre, Pa.
uncovered the bones of 60 men, which
he estimates had been buried at least
seven or eight hundred years. The av-
erage height indicated by the skeletons
was seven feet, but many were taller.
Evidences of the gigantic size of these
men was seen in huge axes found be-
side the bones, says the Christian Her

Cards work under cover was com,
pleted. 1t was but an incident in thS
relations between a great industry and
the government. The next week the
books of the association were thrown
open to the government. President
Van Dorm, whose factory was the larg-
est Of them all, volunteered access to
his records and others followed suit.
So was an era of fair dealing inaugu-
rated.
This all happened years ago. The
fidelity with which the special agent
laid the basis of his deception is prov
ed by the fact that many Of these
manufacturers are now getting their
pulp from the Canadian northwest.
The name Of Gard does not, however,
appear among tho list Of officers of
any Of the companies supplying pulp.
The young man is probably now off on
the trail OF some other real or sus-
pected violators of the federal statutes,
meeting new emergencies, gaining new
experiences, playing a modest but not
unimportant part in the big and vital
affairs of the nation.

new detective unravels the mysteries
and seeks to determine the manner
in which fifty big factories, with 1OO,-
600 men on their pay rolls, combine to
sti1e the small competitor who would
enter their field.
1t was such an assignment as this
that one morning came over to New
York in the mail from Washington
and fell to the lot of Special Agent
Billy Gard. The instructions said:
"The Northern Pulp & Paper Manu-
facturers' association will hold it's con-
vention at the Waldorf on the 10th,
Goth, 21st and 22d. 1t is suspected
Of being a conspiracy in restraint of
trade. It's deliberations are In secret
and the membership is unknown. AS
certain all action Of the convention
and procure a list Of the members of
the association"
This action on the part Of the gov
eminent was occasiOned by complaints
from publishers of newspapers
throughout the country which seemed
to indicate that there was an under
standing among manufacturers as to
prices that should be charged for
white paper. If there was such an
agreement that prevented competition,
it was probably reached through some
association Of which all were mem
bers. There was the Northern Pulp
& Paper Manufacturers association.
It's deliberations and its membership
we're secret. This facs put it under
suspicion. Was it fixing prices?
To answer this question, Special
Agent Billy Gard went on his vain
glorious debauch Of assuming an i'm
portance that was not his due. He
unleashed that tendency that is within
us all and let it run riot to the limit.
But back Of the descending there was
an object to be accomplished.
"You are President Van Dorm Of the

presented himself to that individual

man of affairs whose factories pro-
duced 40 per cent of the white paper

not belong to the association, but
I nevertheless believe that the mem
bership would be glad to have me
present"
eff you are a manufacturer you may
become a member and attend said
President Van Dorm.
"I am not manufacturer" smiled
the special agent. II am the man
back of the manufacturer. I come to
you today, but in the near future you
will all come to me. It is in the interest
of the manufacturers that want to

Did you ever go among strangers
and pretend to be a more important
parsonage than you really are? Yes?
So have /. There are many Of us who
habitually take taxicab when we go
into a strange city on a modest piece
of business. Yet at home we would
walk six blocks to save nickel in car
fare. / would not acknowledge to the
hotel clerk, nor would you, that an in
side room, price one dollar, is what,
in my heart, I would like to ask for
when I say that three-hfty will be
about right. And we tip the waiter,
you and /, although we know that he
makes twice the money we do, and we
let the haberdasher's clerk sell us q
shirt for three dollars when we
should pay one, and the barber bull
dozes us into taking a shampoo when
there is a perfectly good bar Of soap
at home and not working.
For, to ourselves, upon occasion, we
like to be the dream people, to see
ourselves as the great and dominant
of the land, to step out Of the every
day commonplace Of our existence.
We pay the price Of our temporary
emancipation. We may feel bit fool,
ish when the bellboy is gone and are
alone with the pitcher of ice water,
but in our hearts it is worth the
money.
But with all this tendency to dis
semble, how large front of false pre-
tense could you put up, how impor-
tant parsonage do you think you
could make of yourself, if you should
find all the gates open and were invit-
ed to do your durndest? And If you
should, in moment of abandon, sum-
mon courage to introduce yourself as
the King of Spain or Anthony Com
stock or Lillian Russell, and if you
did this in a gathering that you knew
to be made up of selected master
minds, how well do you think you
would be able to sustain the part? e
This is the story of a modest en-
ployee of the government, drawing ST.
500 a year, and with the wife and kid
dies tucked away in thirty dollar fat,
who walked into convention of mil
lionaire manufacturers and with no
basis in fact for his claim, virtually
spoke to these dominant and success
full princes of industry as follows:
Gentlemen, you are mere children
playing at the factory business. I am
the master here. Please be nice to
me and tell me all your secrets or I
will cut off your supply of raw ma
terial."
1t is the story Of a young man who,
as a detective for the federal govern
ment, assumed this position among the
lions Of a big industry, who lived up
to the part he had chosen for him
self and got the inner secrets of a
great business organization, these be-
ing the results he was after.
This government employee who was
given the opportunity to become the
super-dissembler, was a special agent
of the department of justice, and his
assignment was to ferret out the Sc
crets of various trusts that were sus-
pected Of conspiracies in restraint Of
trade. He was detective of a new
school. Where the sleuth of yester-

loaded with clean but grumbling
Mexicans, the caravan went on about
it's business.
