Of measures" says Ralph G. Ely,
candidate for Governor of New
Mexico. II is natural for men to
seek personal advantage wherever
II is possible. Commenting upon
this phase of the public business
Mr.. Ely said recently:
SIN 1914 our party in its state
platform declared for a number
of state measures. Among these
were reasonable county salaries,
the creation OF n tax commission,
and the passage Of laws regulating
taxation which would impose the
burdens Of government equally
and iairly upon all forms of prop
erty throughout our state. These
questions will be vital issues Ia the
coming election. The people may
like this man, or that man or the
other one, according TO the appeal
of their personalities; but when
they pay their taxes, they want to
know that they are paying their
fair share and not one dollar more
They bclievc-and they ara right

their wealth often consists of NOR

they are clinging to this propert

this. They know who the men RI
They know where some of the

Deadly Mineral Found In Soup

His Escape.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-Poison. apparently
purposely placed in the soup served at
the banquet Thursday night in honor
of Archbishop Mundelein. caused the
sudden illness which attacked more
than 100 distinguished guests and
cording To city officials today.
The symptoms were first diagnosed
as evincing the presence of ptomainea
but today, chemical analysis by city
physicians revealed the presence of
mineral or metallic poisoning in the
samples of the offending soup.
Harry j. Doherty, manager of the
University club, where the banquet
was held, conducted an Independent in
v~cstigation and with police assistance,
investigated the apartments of AN en-
ploye in the kitchen who left the day of
the banquet.
In the mans room the police say they
found a chemical laboratory with
flasks of various poisons, one identical
with the poison revealed by the chem
lists analysis.
The employee sought, according to
Doherty, is Jean Crones, 30 years old,
Who was hired by the club as an as
sistant to the chef last September.
The club manager said his man had
charge of preparing soup.
A description of the mar sought, was
sent to outside cities.
The police asserted that among the
effects found in the room of the sus-
pected employee, were many pamphlets
touching on economic subjects together
with a number of Industrial Workers
of the World songs and similar litera-
ture.
The man was described as being a
fluent speaker of German, English,

LONG A PLAGUE TO YOUTH
schooIboys of Many Centuries Ago
Had to Wrestle With Problems
Of Arithmetic.

The modern schoolboy may find
comfort in the fact that for $500 years
schoolboys have been worried by just
as annoy him most.
Among the archaeological discoveries
in Egypt is a papyrus roll, in excellent
condition, dating from a period about
1900 B. G. This roll, which has a long
heading beginning Directions how to
attain the knowledge of all dark
things" proves beyond a doubt that
the Egyptian of that time had a thor
ough knowledge of the elements of
arithmetic.
Numerous examples show that their
principal operations with units and
fractions were made by means of addi-
ton and multiplication. Subtraction
and division were not known in their
present form, but correct results were
obtained, nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the
Here is one which brings the
Egyptian schoolboy home to us:
Ten measures of barley are to be di-
vided among ten persons in such a man.
ner that each subsequent person shall
receive one-eighth of a measure less
than the one before him. Another ex-
ample given is: There are ven men,
each one has seven cats, each cat has
eaten seven mice, each mouse has
eaten seven grains Of barley. Each
grain of barley would have yielded
seven measures of barley. How much
barley has been lost?
The papyrus also contains calcula-
tions of area, the calculation of the
area of a circle, attempts at squaring
the circle, and finally calculation Of
the cubic measurements of pyramids.
