Big Hats AIIuring.

Almost all women are heartily glad
that larger hats are the fashion, There
is a mysterious allure about the big
shady hat which shadows the face
that Is wonderfully ~softening and be-
coming. To young faces the new
hats which curve deeply down at each
side make really b%ewitching frames, es-
pecially when they are of some dark
colors and lined underneath the brim
with some soft and delicate tint such
as egg-shell blue, oyster pink or the
pale putty shade that has proved so
valuable for the purpose. Never has
there been such a catholicity of choice.
For, according to your requirements
and what becomes you best, you can,
have either the c%lose-ftting swathed
toque. the tall, practically brimless hat
OF Cossack frame, surmounted bv a
cockade or a chou of ribbon. the
dainty dropping Vatican or Dolly Var.

sion in search of new strength and
new spirit. The cooperation Of rela-i
tives and neighbors would seem to be
as welcome and as available when
there is a reasonable purpose in view
as when there is grief or dismay to
be relieved.
In thinking of the beneficial effects
Of an occasional vacation, we must
not let ourselves accept this as a sat-
i~sfactory compensation for years Of
monotonous and colorless drudgery.
The vacation should not be a substi-
tute for a life's program that has in
it enough variety to insure constant
freshness and interest, but it should
supplement such a program. The
mother who has ONE serious occupa-
ton in affairs not directly connected
with her domestic problem is likely
to that extent to be a better mother.
Even where a woman is obliged to do,
all of her homework in addition to-
caring for her children she is likely
to neglect them so much that she will
come to them a little fresher than she
would if she gave them all of her at,
tention. OF course, for mothers in
this situation there is the danger that
they will be too tired physically to,
give up the energy that profitable COM
partnership with children requires.
We must find ways for mothers to-
have Vacations" for a little while
daily, and for complete relief at long
er intervals. In the meantime, the
overburdened mother should realize
that her sense of duty must be guided
by an intelligent appreciation Of the
needs of her children.

There Are Trades That Cure

A great deal is written about trades

many trades which are medically rec,

EYES TOO MUCH neglected
Residents Of Cities, In the Aggregate,
Are tho Chief Offenders, for
Various Reasons.

Tho farmer at work in his fields all
day long has much better eyesight
than the city resident. Farmers, as q
rule. have no need of artificial aid to
the eyes until old age comes upon
them.
On the farm the eyes receive more
rest than in tho city, because they
work at more natural angles. The
farmers work is not right up under
his nose. In cases of most city peo-
pie their work is over books or ma
chimes. and they have a habit of stoop-
ing over it.
This affects the eyes SO that glasses
are necessary for relief. Nine-tenths
of the people who are suffering from
headaches and who wonder what the
trouble is can blame them on the treat
ment they give their eyes. Not enough
city people wea glasses. Perhaps one
in fifty wears glasses where the av.
erage should be about n in every ten.
Children are affected in this way.
Most children lean over their desks
and have their eyes close to their
books. Teachers should prevent them
from doing this. Where children are
forced to wear glasses it is not neces.
sary that they should have to wear
them all the time. When the children
are at play they ought, in most cases,
to be allowed to go without their
glasses.

FAMINE REMOTE
WORLDS RESOURCES ARE FAR IN
ADVANCE OF POPULATION.
United States Alone Could Increase
Food Supply From one-Sixth
to TWO Thirds.

Forecasting a condition in the future
in which there will be too many peo-
pie in the world for the grain fields
and stock ranges to feed, the question
Of possible general shortage in hui
nanity's market basket supplies has
received more than 100 years OF vo-
luminous consideration. Since the out
break of the world war, probabilities
Of food shortages have been discussed
more than ever before, but in respect
to definite and narrow geographical
limitations. Mr.. William Joseph
Showalter, in careful study of the
worlds food supply, considering the
bulk production, it's distribution, and
the potentialities for increased pro-
duction, discounts present-day fears
Of ultimate universal famine. OF the
bugaboo theory that a general under
supply of foodstuffs is the menace of
the future, he has the following to
say in a study prepared for the Nation
al Geographic society at Washington:
''Many men are inclined to sound a.
pessimistic note as to the adequacy
Of the worlds food supply for future
generations, and, like Nautilus a hum
dred years ago, are inclined to predict
that the day has at last come when
the human race must cease to expand
its numbers, or else face inevitable
hunger.
"And when we consider now many
mouths there are in this world to feed,
and how much food it takes to satisfy
them, little room is there to wonder
at this pessimism.
"The earth's population today
reaches a grand total Of about 1,700,-
OOO,O00 souls. If they were all set
down at a banquet it would require six
teen tables reaching around the globe
to seat them. For every ounce Of
food they ate, the dinner-giver would
have to provide $4,000 tons of provi-
sions, and if the dinner were no more
than democratic dollar-a-plate affair,
it would cost, in the aggregate, as
much as it costs to run the United
States government year and half.
Expressed in terms Of annual con-
sumption, the worlds market basket
is one that def1es portrayal in weight
and size. One is forced to cast around
for new units of measurement to give
a proper idea Of its proportions. As

The manner Of making these arrests
was peculiar to this cowboy police of
the southwest. The plan was that.
when the time to strike should come,
operations should begin at the little
building without windows where the
ringleaders of the revolutionists gath
cred These should be arrested, none
being allowed to escape and give the
alarm. They should all be put into a
wagon, inclosed with white canvas
such as is common in the southwest
and which would attract 10 atten-
ton in passing through the streets
This wagon, with two or three rang
ers aboard and others riding careless
~ near it, should then drive about Ell
Paso, picking up a man here and an
other there until all those wanted
were under the white canvas. So
was it planned that a clean sweep of
the revolutionists should be made in
a manner Of raid that might seem
queer to those accustomed to the
methods of metropolitan police but
which was intended to accomplish it's
purpose.
But as far as Billy Gard was con-
cerned, the raid came near coming
too late The position of Gard, the
American special agent, in revolution
headquarters as a Mexican conspira-
tor. was never one of especial secur-
ity. There was the danger of his
identity being found out, which would
not only spoil his case but might re-
suit in personal violence being done
him as his associates we're not men
to trif1e with. There was the diff
Guilty of getting his information to
Archie Dobbs and thence to the de-
partment at Washington without this
connection being discovered. Finally
arrests.
Eventually the time came to strike.
General Reyes had disappeared from
San Antonio and was believed to be
fleeing for the Mexican border. The
order was issued from Washington to
intercept and arrest any Of the
Reyes party that might be found at
any border points. The trap was to
be sprung at Ell Paso.
On that morning, December %, 1911,
Billy Gard reported at the windowless
building at ten o'clock. Doctor Flores
was there and was soon joined by
Comacho, the dynamiter. Presently a
ranchman from Sonora was admitted.
Senorita CaldeTon was expected from
San Antonio with additional funds,
and Pena and other moving spirits
were to drop in.
"Is there any news from General
Herrera?" Doctor Flores asked Gard.
That young man reported that the
Herrera troops would go over to Gen.

to the Mexican custom, and kissed
him first on one cheek and then on
the other.
Thus did special agent of the
United States become a member Of a
Mexican revolutionary junta.
Through Gard the department of
justice soon had all the particulars
of the Reyes revolution as far as they
were known to the Ell Paso junta. 1t
knew that the aged general had been
promised support from many sources,
that he had been provided with con-
siderable sums of money, that arms
had been bought in hundred lots from
dealers all along the border, that these
were being doled out to individuals
who were to cross over the border at
a given time and form the nucleus
OF the revolution. In 81 Paso some
two hundred men had already been
thus provided. These men were be-
ing maintained at boarding houses
about town and were being handed
regularly small sums Of money. Gard
met every day with the members OF
the junta and talked over the details
of these matters.
In the little building which had no
windows and which stood back of
Doctor Flores house, Gard also met
the individuals who were the fire
brands Of the revolution. "Red
Shirt Pena was always there and was
steadily engaged in smuggling am
munition across the border. The peck
marked anarchist, Comacho, was ma
turing his spectacular plans Senorita
Josefa Calderon, slim as cactus,
came now and then, with message
from Reyes or OroZco. Often she
brought large sums of money. Gard
once accompanied her to Juarez and
used all his charms in an effort to
develop a love affair with her, but in
vain. He afterward learned that she
was mourning sweetheart who had
died in fighting Madero and was de-
voting herself to this cause in hope
Of revenge.
Toward the end of December the
plans for the revolution grew near ma
turity. General Reyes was to slip out
Of San Antonio and across the Rio
Grande where he was to pick up his
recruits enlisted on the American
side and those on the Mexican side
who had promised to join with him.
At the psychological moment Pena of
the red shirt, and Comacho, the an
archist, were to put on performances
so spectacular as to attract the atten-
ton Of the world.
Comacho had his dynamiting plans
well developed. Personally he intend
ed to place a bomb under the inter
national bridge at Ell Paso. An asso-
ciate was to perform the same service
