JOINT COMMISSION
SEES TRANSLATION
CARRANzA DECREE
Provisional President of
Mexico Would Punish With
Immediate Death All
Brigandage in Republic

Atlantic City, N. j., October N.-Car
constitutional guarantees throughout
Mexico, as translated and laid before the
American representatives on the Mexican
joint commission today provides that for
nearly all offenses not covered by the
civil code, summary punishment may be
Inflicted by the military authorities. Inter
ference with railway traffic, robbery, in
cendiarism and assault in its various
forms are characterized as crimes pun
ishable by death without the formally OF
trial when the evidence Is apparent. In
no case has the accused the right of
appeal.
The preamble of the Decree which sets
forth the reasons for the suspension Of
guarantees and which was of especial in
terest to the America commissioners,
says:
"Brigandage in all its manifestations
has brought insecurity in the country
districts, forcing the inhabitants of
haciendas, ranches hamlets and other
small communities to leave them and
seek personal safety in the larger CEN
tiers of popula ton, which is notably in
furious to agriculture, commerce and other
sources of national wealth, and since the
consequences of the evil we have been
discussing have appeared recently even in
the principal cities, for even in the capital
itself, persons who were walking the
streets have been attacked at night, sub
urban trains have been held up and the
passengers robbed, burglaries accom-
panied by violence have been of frequent
occurrence in private residences; all of
which has greatly alarmed the people so
that it is an urgent necessity that such
~ serious state of affairs be put an end
to by an extreme measure which may
be efficacious in this instant and in fact
had excellent results in analogous cir
cumstances in other periods of the ma
TONS history, as was the case after the
three years of war in the time of Presl-
dent Benito Juarez

TO MAKE YOUR HAIR
LOOK NATURALLY CURLY

After shaking the hair down and
brushing it out. apply little liquid sill
merine with a clean tooth brush and
then roll the hair in curriers'. This pro-
duces as beautiful curls and waves as
you could wish for. perfectly natural in
appearance. and they will last a long
time. The full effect is secured within
three hours, though some prefer to keep
the hair done up over night.
A few ounces of liquid silmerine-
which can, of course, be had at any
drug store-will last for weeks, so 1t is
quite economical to use. 1t also serves
as an excellent dressing, giving the
hair delightful gloss. When the hair
is combed out it will be fluffy as
though it had just been shampooed.

rings Old candlesticks bespeaking the
adornments of the homes of these early
settlers of this community which this fair
is now celebrating the one hundredth

strip of interesting country, the road be-
ing in a fair shape, made it pleasant
and profitable.

platform would keep him in good physical
condition without the other. I do not
know much about his general habits, other
than that he walks good deal and

habits
II believe that Mr. Sunday has a record
that is unequaled. For 20 years he has
not missed an engagement to preach. To
do this. OF course, he must have perfect
health. He has a strong rich voice, clear

nacle in which he preached, and while
his gestures are quick and full of life.
and his words roll out SO fast that it
takes regular listening to hear them ALL,
he makes wonderful impression with
his sermons. So much SO, indeed, that
few people who hear him once seldom
fail to 20 again.
