Why are germ colds epidemic in

weather, when windows and doors are
so much of the time open to fresh air,
the breezes well ventilate our houses
and carry away bacteria in the

The Fowler-D
Wedding. Rev. A. J.
Carey, Pastor of Insti-
tutional Church, Per-
formed the Marriage
Ceremony

and Mrs. H. Green of Pullman. Miss
Josephine and Miss Gertrude Swee
were among the invited friends.
Mrs. Addie Fowler, mother of the
bride, came on from Atlanta, Ga, to at
tend the wedding. Mrs. Fowler is the
proud mother of eleven children and
she has lived to see them all married
off, Miss Katie being the last one, and
she naturally feels proud of her new
son-in-law who succeeded in capturing
and winning the heart of the last one
of her daughters.
The bride received many useful and
beautiful presents. Prof. Bowling, the
groom, is an expert in Civil Service,
having successfully passed the govern
ment, State, county, and city civil
service examinations.
The bride and groom are at home to
their numerous friends at 1928 South
Park Ave-, and to say the least, their
relatives and hosts of friends wish
them the greatest happiness and bless
ings during the remainder of their
journey together through this life.

pulous, and for ten years he pursued
his bandit career.
Madero, when he had taken up arms
against the Diaz regime, sent mes
senger into the mountains and invited
Villa to become colonel in his army.
In the Madero fold Villa became one
of the fercest of that wealthy con-
tender s subordinates. But the intense
ly jealous nature of the ex-bandit
brought trouble for him in the ranks
OF Madero. Villa wanted all the hon.
or.
In 1911, when it became evident that
Diaz's days were numbered as the die
tator of the Mexican republic. Ameri-
cans began to hear of the bandit chief
In battles fought in and around Casas
Grandes, engagements that preceded
the fall of Diaz and completed the tri-
umph of Madero, "Pancho, the Tiger"
as they called him, achieved reputa-
ton as a fighter similar to the beast
whose name had been given him.
Villa quarreled with Huerta and was
thrown into Jail. His life was saved
by Madero after Huerta had ordered
him shot. Numerous times, in fact,
was the bandit soldier ordered shot,
but each time by his wits or through
efforts of his friends he was able to
escape.
In March, 1913, Villa joined the con-
stitutionalist revolution and took the
field, and in short time he had gath
cred about him an army of several
thousand volunteers and set out for re-
venge on Huerta.
He was successful at the start. In
town after town he dislodged the fed
erals, and drove the federal troops out
of the northern part of Mexico and
was supporting the Carranza cause in
the north. Carranza, however, was Sc
lected as president of the republic by
few sections of the republic.
This made Villa indignant and he
turned against Carranza, and for the
last year has been fighting the Consti-
tutionalists.

HYDE PARK NEWS.
By L. w. Washington.

An invitation vas sent out to the
young people of Hyde Park to attend
a cake walk at 5532 Lake Park Ave.
The call was made by Mr.. Joseph Gun.
We learn that quite a number of the
young folks attended. May we ask
for what purpose? These kind of en-
tertainments have been long discard
ed by the sober thinking intelligent
minds among us, because of their de-
preciating character. Such entertain
ments will not now and never has
done the race any good, but has rep
resented us as a race of monkeys. We
would advise our young people to take
up more progressive and idealistic
kind of amusement

CAUGHT AT LAST?

Reports from Four Sources, Considered
Reliable, Declare Gen. Francisco
Villa, Labeled Outlaw by Carranza,
Has Been Captured with Many of
His Followers, and That They Are
Being Taken to Chihuahua. Career
of Pancho Villa as Bandit and Rebel
Chief.
First of all, Gen. Franciso Villa was
born poor. In revolutionary Mexico
that was a serious handicap to an am
bilious young man. And that fact, per-
haps, has made the pages and pages of
stories that have been written about
one of the eontenders for the. control
of turbulent Mexico.
Although Villa in hundreds of inter
views has stated that he was fighting
for his people, not the honor of being
president, the natives of chihuahua
smiled.
"Gold, pure gold," they said, "is
all that Villa ever will fight for"
Villa was quoted by one writer as
saying that prior to his enrolment in
the cause of Francisco Madero, he car
ried a revolver with fifty-seven
notches.
In chihuahua Villa committed his
first murder which is generally known
about. At that time he was a ranch
owner in the state in the northern part
of Mexico. A Mexican insulted a
woman member of the Villa clan and
Villa killed him.
The man whom Villa killed was rich.
He was a cog in the Porfrio Diaz re-
gime. Villa was poor.
Villa fed from his ranch, about 200
miles south of FL Psso, Texas, to the
mountain and became an outlaw.
Villa gathered about him a band Of
men equally cold blooded and unseru-

INDOOR COMFORT AND HEALTH

1t is well understood that what are
known as the dirty air diseases are
due to and largely caused by bad in
door conditions.
Primarily, this means, of course,
improper or insufficient air supply. 1t
is also true that the proper ventila-
ton of our homes, shops and work
places is largely a winter problem.
During the warm weather months the
proper ventilation of homes and work
places generally solves itself. 1t is
during the cold weather months that
people will persist in alternating and
are lamentably Indifferent to the need
of ventilating their homes and work
places.
Stagnant air and overheated air are
the principal causes of coughs, colds,
bronchitis and pneumonia. Usually,
too, overheated. air is far drier than
it should be. 1t is important that our
indoor air approach as nearly as pos
sible in moisture the outdoor air I'M
der normal conditions. Window ven
tilation is worth studying. 1t is nat
ural that people should not want to
open their windows in zero weather,
for the reason that to do so would in
volve discomfort and undue consump-
ton of fuel 1t is possible, however,
to maintain good air supply and cir
culation of the same in the average
room, simply by little observation
of outside wind currents and proper
manipulation of the windows. Open
ing a window on the windward side
of the room from the bottom an inch
or more, according to the outdoor
wind velocity and using a DETECTING
board on the window sill to defect the
air up into the room at about the
breathing level and lowering the win
dow on the leeward side on the top
an inch or less or more, according to
outside temperature, will provide
both air supply and air movement. 1t
will also tend to improve the indoor
humidity, which in the average Amer
lean home is far lower than it ought
to be.
The Department of Health has had
many requests as to the relative hu-
nudity that should be maintained for
a given temperature. In response to
these inquiries is submitted the follow
ing table covering temperatures from
co. to 72' Fahrenheit, together with
the relative humidity that should be
maintained at the temperatures
named, and which it is believed would
produce the approximately ideal in.
door conditions for both comfort and
health.
