MExlco'S NEW MINING LAW.
Designed to Prevent Large Holdings
for Speculation.

designed to Prevent Large Holding:
for Speculation.
A new mining law, providing in
creased taxation for large holdings in
Mexico, is announced in dispatch to
the Evening Post from Mexico City
under date of May 2. 1t says
"Mexieo's new mining law, which
has been awaited for months by cap
italists, represented by investments of
more than $S5O,OOO,OOO, gold, was pro-
mulgated May by decree issued by
General Carranza.
The new law, which takes effect on
July l, calls for a general Increase in
taxation on all large properties with
a corresponding benefit for the smaller
operators, the announced intention of
the government being to break up the
holdings that are conserved more for
speculative than for development pur-
poses The unit for taxation is the
pertenencia, or mining claim, of one
heetare, or Y acres
"The assessment on gold and silver
mines is Sc yearly on from one to 10
claims; II to so claims, $i2 each YEAR
ly; from 81 to 100 claims, SIS per
claim yearly; on 101 claims and up
ward, $24 each yearly.
Many American companies have
holdings aggregating more than $500
acres. Representatives of some of
these large corporations say that hun
dreds Of claims will be let go by them
because of the new tax, The govern
ment asserts that this is the very pur- |
pose of the law in order that the
smaller operators may be given a |
chance to develop lands that other
wise would lie idle.

MARINE MAKES MONEY.
Aeeumulates $4,000 on Salary of Only
$18 Per Month.

Here's problem in high finance A
private of the United States marine
corps saved $499S91 during single
four-year enlistment. He never ad-
vanced beyond the rank of private and
his pay never exceeded SIS per month
during that time. A good natural
business acumen, with many spare
hours to develop it along selling lines,
gave this marine his nest egg, marine
corps officials declare.

SMITH APPEALS FOR BETTER PROTECTION
Councilman Objects to Police
 Beats in Sixth Ward

The sweltering heat of last evening ton of a considerable amount of bus mess that came up before the regu- lar monthly meeting of the safety board. Resolutions were read, recon - mendations heard and adopted and other routine business was acted upon. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock, Chairman Babcock presid- ing and Commissioners Steele and Mo- ran being in attendance.
 A communication was received from Councilman William J. Smith com plaining that with the present layout of the police beat on Smalley street and vicinity the residents are afforded insufficient protection. MT. Smith appeared personally before the com missioners to explain his communica- ton. He said that as matters now stand the people residing on Smalley street, East Main street, East street and intersecting streets are not re- ceiving the protection they are en- titled to. The officer on beat No. 12 has to cover approximately four miles each evening, he said, while the po- liceman patroling beat No. 23 guards a territory of a mile while beat No. 13 is hardly one-half a mile In a conversation that MT. Smith had With the present officer on the beat, Police- man Gustave Litke, the latter claimed that, due to the large tract that he has to cover each night he has lost ten pounds since being assigned to this route. Furthermore MT. Smith declared, it will bee an utter i'm possibility for a policeman to cover the present layout as it stands in win ter when the ground is covered with snow. The residents living in that section have been complaining about the insufficient protection and MT. Smith thought something should be done immediately. The policeman on the beat rings up at 7:15 o'clock each evening and is not seen again until 9:3O o'clock. On recomn endation of Commissioner Steele, MT. Babcock will see Chief Rawlings today and have the matter remedied.
 The Travellers Indemnity company notified the board that an external in spection had been made on the ver- tical tubular boilers at fire stations Mo- 2. and and they were found to be in proper working condition.
 The board of public works notified the board of safety that lateral con- duits have been installed in Elm street and that all electric wires are to be placed underground. It was decided to have Chairman Babcock confer with the city electrician concerning this.
 A recommendation from the com mon council was read to have a per manent patrol officer at the corner of Hartford avenue and North street. Mr. Babcock explained that "silent off, cer'' had been placed at that corner

The resolution was adopted.
 Commissioner Steele during the dis cussion for out of-town pay for su- pernumeraries criticised the action of the chief of police in detailing off, cers for duty in MiddletoWn yesterday.

In his opinion this was the time when the officers were most needed. Commits sioner Moran said that he thought they were all supernumeraries and rot regulars.
 On motion of Commissioner Steele the clerk was instructed to furnish the board with the names of all the callmen in the first department and the date of their appointment, With record of any serious charges having been preferred against them.

CHEEKS CLEAR AT LAST
Case of Safety Razors Sent to Militia by Traut & Hine, Through Herald. Doing Good Service,

by Traut & Hine, Through Herald Doing Good Service Joy that knows no bounds is in evi dence apout the camps of the two local militia companies stationed at Nogales, Arizona. Recently a large consignment of goods was sent +o tho boys through the Herald. and anoono them was contribution of safety razofS anu cigarette cases from the Traut 1.-The Manufacturing com pany.
 This morning the following letter was received by the Herald fro,,, C,or, tam IL 'IIdy llOHd LOW of Co. E.:
 Nogales, Aug. 16 Gentlemen:
 The case of safety razors and cig- arctic cases came in tonight at e.9o o'clock, mountain time. It was onennd and Co. l was given one-ha1f of ho+b razors and cases.
 To say that the boys were n1eased is putting it mildly. They are very much elated and lost no time in trying out both razors and the cases.
 Everything is hustle down here. Colonel Lamb said yesterday that the officers should have that old saving ''The pen is mightier than the sword hung in their tents, as it is muster-in rolls, pay rolls, description lists, sur veys, acquisitions etc, coming one af- ter the other. and although the com panies are drilling from to 1O:45 a. m. and from , to 4 D. nl., very few have more than one officer with them at a time.
 The work of the boys is. however, progressing very satisfactorily and if necessity arrives there is no doubt but they will give a good account of them selves. We are particularly busy at this time in preparation for five days hike, or sixty-five miles, to Huachuaca, where we spend ten days on the rifle range and then hike back.
 Thanking the Traut & Hine Manu- featuring company and the many other friends who have so generously contributed to the pleasure and com forts of Go. F and their families, I am,
 Very respectfully,

LIVING I'M A FOOLS PARADISE,

You kissed me! My heart. my breath
and my will
In delirious Joy for moment stood still.
Life had for me then no temptations, no
charms;
No vision of rapture outside of your
arms.
There are so many people living in
q fools paradise without realizing it
that Ii would seem almost unkind to
awaken them from their dreams. First
and foremost are the women who have
met the zone and only" and fallen in
love at sweet sixteen or Whereabouts.
The lover has kept on calling and
making love for the next decade of
years, or so. OF course, his heart has
gone out to her, or he wouldn't keep
coming. But he is serenely satisfied
has never proposed marriage. The girl
lives in a halo of rosy expectancy. Will
her hopes never be realized? The
chances are they will not. The hard
working old father tolls early and late,
spending all he earns upon his trio of
crocheting, reading French novels and
playing the piano. Poor old dad is
sure the girls will marry we'll! He
will have three young, strong, able
bodied sons-inlaw to take care of him
in his old age. Mistaken expectations!
He is living in a FOOLS paradise. 1t
would be like taking candy away from
q baby to take hope away from him.
The single woman goes to live with
her married sister. She is earning a
fair salary and thinks she may as
well give board money to the family.
The nephews and nieces come to Aunt
Sally with all their woes. And they
don't forget TO bring their wants to
her, too. She is never absent from
her employment, but she is never able
to save a dollar. There is always
something doing in the want line. She
is delighted to crafty their little
whims. In banking on their love and
gratitude in the future. she is living in
a fools paradise. Her awakening
comes when she finds that her life is
wholly apart from theirs. She cannot
support herself with the dollars she
has spent.
Mothers usually live in a fools para
disc, but this is natural to motherhood
it seems. They have glorious visions
of fame and fortune, wealth and hap
piness for every one of their offspring

erings, pleased at being her constant
escort and at the attention she re-
ceives. But this is not an indication
that he intends to make love to her
or cares to be nearer and dearer than
Just a friend.
The trouble is that men of this kind
are apt to call too often on such girl
friend, quite forgetting that they are
sitting out other would-be lovers
whom they find in her parlors and
driving them away. The young
woman's hopes are raised, as well.
Nor. can she be blamed for miscon-
STRUNG his friendship for tenderer
sentiment. Friendship is one. thing;
love is quite another. Friendship
claims should not stand in the way of
the girl enjoying the same privilege
with others who could be quite as
agreeable if allowed the chance. 1t is
a somewhat foolish girl who would
fasten her friendship upon one man
only if she knew it was to end as it
began. Men who have made up their
minds that theirs should be visits or
friendships only should not call too
often upon the woman. They should
be careful, too, that their conversation
should not drift into sentiment or their
handclasp become too tender or linger-
ing at parting.
It's all of these little indications,
the compliments he pays her and what
he says, that give girl hope. Her
heart feeds upon it. She is neither a
stick nor stone. A woman's dover
of tender love has come to her, even
though no avowal of love has passed
between them. Nor has he offered his
heart and hand in marriage. AS soon
as he is aware that he has become
nearer and dearer to her than all 9TH
ers, he raises the old cry-she has
misconstrued his friendship.
The fame of love could not have
burned had he not have lighted the
lamp of expectation. There never was
a claim more abused than that of
friendship between man and woman.
When it seems likely to become ne
cessity to one or the other, and wed
lock cannot be the immediate out
come, it had best be snapped asunder,
ere the cord becomes too closely knit
to break without regrets. When a
woman begins to watch for mans
comings and he to count the evenings
until he shall be by her side again.
they have wandered together out of
friendships path into the broader,
more beautiful path of love. Friend
ship is often misconstrued when it
should be called by it's right name
awakened affection.
