Trouble With a Truck.

The following letter from an auto mobile expert who is stationed with his regiment at McAllen, Tex, wildly describes the severe camp conditions the guardsmen are encountering along the border:
 "We have been battling against all sorts of weather down here recently, intense heat, terrific rainstorms and then sand blizzards. The following narrative will give you an idea what camp routine means down here:
 "We received a new trOck and tin loaded it in a blindtT rainstorm. We never did get to camp with it for two days About quarter of a mile from camp the truck practically sunk out of sight in soft spot in the road. The nature of the soil here is very treach- erous, and while it is hard when dry, it seems to have no bottom when the water hits 1t.

old scow. I had a detail of ten men with me, and we all worked until o'clt ok the next morning trying to bud2e the truck, with the result that it only went deeper all the time.
 ''I was in water and mud up to my waist all the time without boots or anything on. We were all weird sights at quitting time. I slept in my clothes and the next morning put on dry socks and borrowed a pair of hip boots. We were back on the job at 7:30 and worked until 9 that night, when l was finally able to run the truck out under its own power. Our detail, after reaching camp, quickly went to sleep in mud, slime, boots and all and did not move until reveille at the next morning. We were then still covered all over with about half an inch cake of mud. I took nearly quart of water and mud out of each boot. After taking two hours for badly needed cleanup I received word that another truck was stuck. It was a continuous pull out that day, getting either our own or some other trucks out of the mud
 ''The next morning the truck again ran into washout, and I spent over eighteen hours getting 1t out. It seemed to be one thing after another. So many trucks were getting stuck that I would simply lay in the mud. Once I stepped into a hole just back of one of the front wheels and went down over my waist in slime

SUFFRAGE WAT. t> .-
 PARTY ACTIVE
National Association May
 Change Neutral Policy.

Whether the National Woman's Suf- frage association will change from its position of other years of being non- partisan and taking no sides in polit- ical campaigns except to elect to legis- latures candidates who have announc- ed themselves in favor of woman's suf- frage will be determined at the for tieth annual convention, which is to open in Atlantic City Sept. 6.
 The question is expected to take prec- edence as far as importance is con cerned over everything else that will be considered at the convention. The militants. who have become members of the woman's party, which has de- clared its intention of entering poli- tics, wants the association to make a declaration. The party has already in- dorsed Charles E. Hughes and gone on record as trying to beat President Will son.
 It is also expected that there will be lively fight over the question of how suffrage shall be adopted. The south ern delegates are expected to insist that the question be left to the state, while there is a considerable element that is in favor of a federal amend ment. ,,
 Both President Wilson and Mr. Hughes have been invited to attend the sessions of the convention, which will continue for four days. President Wilson has notified the association that he will attend if his engagements will l.o :.. while the convention is in session.
 An effort is to be made to arouse the women in the southern states, it being conceded that the anti-suffragists have those states fairly at their mercy now.

Related CarrizaI Story.

A belated story from Carrizal tells of the wild and splendid fighting of Con- pany c, Tenth cavalry, which took a machine gun from the MeXicans while it's demoralizing fire was moving down the colored troops and their officers, then turned the gun upon the Mexicans themselves and probably saved all who were saved on that bloody field.
 The Mexicans opened fire with four machine guns, and the destruction was terrible. Company c paid no attention to three of the guns, but like fighting devils charged the fourth gun, silenced it and killed those in charge, then used it against the late owners. Why? The gunner of the Mexican battery was renegade trooper of the Twenty-fourth. a machine gun operator who once had been soldier for Uncle Sam. And those colored troops of the Tenth thought him unfit to live. So they took revenge in their own way. g..
 Few Americans remember the history of the Tenth cavalry, which is always at full fighting strength. This regiment has just celebrated it's half century of Sel N1Cc dIlu lne pdSedHIIy luuulSeu III this lull in events at American field headquarters must have been an inter- esting break in the monotony of the arid days at Colonia Dublan, Mexico.
 The anniversary celebration given in the early evening of July 29, before regimental officers and soldiers and all former officers of the regiment of the Tenth cavalry, now with the eXpedi- tionary forces, was unique in the an hals of the military anniversaries and was almost entirely the inspiration of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young of the Tenth, West Point graduate who - reached the highest rank in the regu- lar army ever attained by a colored man.

Sanitary Conditions of Camps Generally Good and the Diet of the Men Well Balanced.
 Quality of Food Good.

~ ANITARY conditions on the Mex > ican border, where regulars and A members of the national guard
 are in camp, are generally good, according to the preliminary report of Dr. Thomas Darlington Of New York to the soldiers welfare committee of the National Civic federation. Louis E. Schram, chairman of the executive section of the committee, male public the report
 u There are 1900 guardsmen in camp at Eagle Pass. Tex, says the doctor, and he found the conditions there eX- eellent. The diet of the men is well balanced and the quality of food good. ~ Of the hospital arrangements the re- lport says in part:
 "The hospital has accommodations for 1G0, but there were comparatively few in it, as the health of the troops in the camp is excellent. There are only 10S per cent sick, and the most of these cases are due to typhoid vaccina- ton. There are seven cases of humps. So far there have been two deaths one of young man who disobeyed or ders and went into the Rio Grande. He could not swim and was drowned. The other was a cook who put kero- sene on the fire and was burned to death.
 "Since the beginning the United States armys medical department has endeavored to seek the cooperation of all local health officers. as it is not only necessary to have all of the camps kept in a sanitary condition, but also the surrounding premises"
 Until a solution of the problem of regulating the dairies serving the camps is reached the doctor recon mends that only condensed, dried or pasteurized milk be used.
 When the doctor mailed his prelimi- nary report he was on his way to Mex ico to visit General Pershing's camp of regulars. He is to take special note of the methods used to transport food to the forces in Mexico.
 Dr. Darlington suggests that the gov ernment provide a special type of rail way car for the transportation of all troops, car that can be used for other purposes in time of peace. Each sol- dier, he says, should have a separate bed, thus lessening the chances of spreading contagious diseases.
 The report says that the measures now being taken along the border to meet sanitary requirements are so ef- fective that when they are understood by the public the relatives of the men will have little cause for worry and the chances for increased enlistments will improve.

Yes, sir; 1t seems simple enough to
put on a diving dress and 20 down into

not quite so easy as II looks" said a
deep-sea diver. THE farther one goes
down below the water the greater the
pressure, and, consequently, the labor
and exhaustion of working is greater.
You would probably find 20 feet quite
deep enough for your first dive. The
pressure on your head would be so
great that, not being used to 1t, your
ears and nose might bleed. In diving
the rate Of ascent is important. II
the diver is less than so feet below
the surface he can be pulled up two
feet second with safety; for greater
depths the rate Of ascent must be
slower"
