 When the rebel leader Zapata oc- cupied Mexico City, he is known to have sent away the machinery from the old cartridge factory there to the south for his own use. This machinery was out of date.
 Mexican newspapers at the time the new factories were established gave much space to describing their equip ment, which they said was of the new est pattern.

Probe Into Newsprint Prices z Shows Unlawful Boost of

(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Hearings Ire-opened here today by the federal trade commission in its news print paper investigation came to sudden end when paper manufacturers re- fused to discuss the reasonableness of news print prices. Both publishers and jobbers had been heard. The manufacturers declared they had not had time to study tables prepared by the commissions investigators pur, porting to show huge profits
 Members of the trade commission announced that despite an apparent unwillingness by the manufacturers to help in the investigation the commis- sion's report would be issued probab- ly in about ten days. and that such recommendations to Congress would be made as were thought necessary.
 May Be Supervised.
 At the same time it was said the commission would be in position pro- bably by tomorrow night to announce whether it's consideration of paper distribution plan showed an actual paper shortage and need for distr:: button under supervision of the com mission.
 It was strongly intimated that facts uncovered by the commission would be turned oyer to the department or justice. It was intimated that if the commission failed r3 relieve condi tions, some other government agency might be able to help.
 WHY PAPERS FAILED.
 The report to Congress, it is un-
 derstood will score manufacturers
 for raising prices to the extent Of
 forcing many small papers out of
 business.
 Manufacturers proposed the distri- button plan at a hearing two weeks ago. Today's hearing was a resump- tion of that proceeding, interrupted to give the manufacturers time to give the government cost of production fig ures.
 It was declared that jobbers had taken advantage of the last two weeks to try to frighten publishers into pay. ing high prices by claiming a short age existed which would prevent many publishers filling their needs during the coming year. Evidence was brought out also concerning alleged refusals to sell to publishers and regarding diff ferent prices quoted by the same manufacturers. It was charged that an effort was being made to discour- age buying associations through which publishers hope ro purchase their sup plies more cheaply.

make them, used to save all the bags
that came from the grocery and
place them carefully away. On bak-

she used to bring forth the bags, fill
them with goodies. and send us to
folks in the neighborhood with her
gifts of good things to eat.

The American Occupation.

Mr. Tener began his address by de-
scribing the physical features of the
islands and the incidents attending
the American occupation eighteen
years ago. He then turned his atten-
ton tv the Industrial, moral and
spiritual side OF the occupation and
told of the rapid strides in all tines
that have been made in the past de-
cade.
He brought a rosy picture of the
educational work being carried on in
the islands where 100000 Filipinos
are enrolled in a modern American
school system, all learning the Eng
Iish language. more Fiipinos have
learned English in the eighteen years
of American occupation than learned
Spanish during the three hundred
wears of Spanish rule. This In Itself
is a wonderful thing. If the Phillp-
mines are to become a great nation,
II is essential that there be one Ian
euage instead of half dozen main
tongues with ten times as many dla-
lects. The English language is help-
ing more toward uniting the isiands
than any other medium has ever done.
SO great has been the progress at
Manila, the metropolis of the Phlflp-
mines. that other oriental countries
are studying in that city the result
If western standards applied to east
