FL Paso. Texas, Jan. 30.--The star
walton and distress reported among
the native population of the Mexican
state of Sonora, can hardly equal the
conditions that prevail in the states
of Chihuahua, Goahuila and Durango,
according to j. Nv. Newcome. a Brit
ish doctor and journalist who until
recently served I'm seml-offical ca
pacity for the Carranza government
in northern Mexico.
"In chihuahua state particularly, "
says Dr.. Newcome, 81 saw children,
girls and boys as young as twelve

Neweome added that the few Euro

Gals. At one time he took such 4
standing against blOating the pension
list that II was said he could not set
get a grand army vote in Massachu-
sets. At another he sacrificed all OF
most of his popularity with labor men
by fearless and tremendously effect
I've attack on the initiative and refer
endum just at the time when II was
hailed as a cure-all of the ills of
democracy.
Fought Tariff Blil.
He might have been chairman Of
the ways and means committee and
have drawn the latest republican tariff
bill if he had not been an insurgent.
But because he was one, he was on the
tail end of the committee which drew
the Payne Aldrich bill and from the
outer fringe fought, ana succeeded in
killing, some of its Objectionable pro-
visions.
Unable to quench his light entirely,
the republican organization made him
chairman Of the library committee.
This was a position that was n tribute
to his cultivated mind because this
committee not only has charge of the
vast congressional library. but over
sees all the erections of statues in the
capitol. Mccall promoted the act
which established an art commission,
thus robbing his committee OF part
Of its powers but putting the creation
Of art objects in the hands of experts,
with significant results for the beauty
of the capital.
His most striking work in the IL
brary committee was his overcoming
the inertia Of the house and forcing
through a measure TO reconstruct the
hall of representatives with the OBJ
jects in view, first, to obtain light and
air, which the hall had never had,
and, secondly TO bring the members
close enough together to hear each
other in debate.
One Reform BILL
One of his principal measures out
side of his own committees was the
bill for the publication of campaign
contributions.
This bill was first introduced in the
Fifty-ninth congress. 1t was reported
in the firth session of the Sixtieth, but
the senate not having suffered from
the iron prods of insurgency, killed it,
Mccall came back in the Slxty-flrst
and put the bin through, the senator's
having first clipped its claws with a
proviso that the publications should
be made after instead of before cleo
ton. This has since been corrected
and Mccall Is the author of the first
act to put an end to the free use OF
money in the election of members of
congress

Washington, Jan. 30.--One Of the
four submarines of the * type, a
member of a flotilla of four submer-
sibles en- route from the New York
navy yard to Pensacola, is lost in the
fog" according to an official naval
radio message received here tonight.
The message to the navy depart
ment came in response 10 an inquiry
to the submarine tender Tallahassee
off Charleston, s. G. beyond stating
that she had been unable to locate the
submersible, the message contained
no details. Navy department officials
declared that there was no cause for
alarm, however. They believed the
submarine had become separated from
the other vessels in tho heavy fog and
had been unable to locate them again.

COLONEL HOUSE

TEUT0N CAPITAL
Believes Conversations With
German Statesmen and
Conferences With AmbaS-
sador Productive Of Good

lay MORNING JOURNAL spsciAL LEASED wiRsl
Berlin, Jan. 30 (via London, 9:44
D. M. Col Edward NJ. House, Presl-
dent Wilson's personal representative,
has left Berlin for Paris and London
by way of Switzerland. Prior to his
departure, though declining TO be
quoted with any particularly ON the
results of his mission, Colonel House
said he was very glad he had come TO
Berlin and added that the conversa-
lions which he had had with leading
German statesmen and prominent men
in private life, and particularly his
conference with Ambassador Gerard
had been most profitable and would
undoubtedly lead to clarificauon OF
German American relations.
His visit, which was chiefly for in
formative purposes, can scarcely be
said to have brought him any novel
or unexpected light on the German
situation. the main outlines of which,
it appears, are well understood IN
Washington.
No Startling Disclosures.
Colonel House will, therefore, 1t Is
believed convey to the president
nothing startlingly new upon the GER
man situation and the attitude OF the
government, but a mass of detailed
information worked into shape IN MS
long discussions with Mr.. Gerard.
In the same way it may be snid
that Colonel House, upon whom inter-
views with several of Germanys Lead
ing statesmen left a most agreeable
impression, will report to the pfesi-
dent on The attitude Of these states
men toward America-an attitude
which has been described as one OF
friendliness and a desire to avoid any
complications with the United states
so far as is comparable with Ger
many's vital interests and internal
harmony--and he will be able To sup
port and supplement Ambassador
Gerard's reports by personal declara-
tions made with the foreknOwlcdge
that they will go direct 10 the presi-
dent.
German Leaders Interested.
1t is presumed that the German
leaders now have a clearer eompre-
hension of the limits and intents of
President Wilson's policy and partic-
ularly of the ideas he has for
working arrangement harmonizing as
far as possible with the interests OF
neutrals and the two belligerent

American glass manufacturers who
have felt the necessity of depending
upon foreign clays will be able hereaft-
er to assert their independence of for
eign material, as result Of expert
ments that have been conducted by
the United States bureau OF standards.
The Pittsburgh laboratory of that bu-
reau, which is located near one of the
chief centers for the industry in the
United States. working in cooperation
with the clay pot industries, has learn
ed that glass refractories Qots in
which the glass is melted can be pre-
pared from American clays, with re-
sulting better quality than that of the
article manufactured with the addi-
ton of German plastic clays.
The mixture prepared from Ameri-
can clays proved superior in the glass

prepared with German clays alone, and
to those prepared from American and
German clays combined.-Commerce

The Use of skid Chains.

Never drive an automobile with
skid chain ON one of the rear wheels
only, says Popular Mechanics. When
skid chains are necessary 1t is far bet
ter to use two chains, one on each rear
tire. When but one chain is used and
the brake is applied the wheel to which
the chain is attached will stop readily,
but the wheel without a chain viii
spin around many times. which tends
to grind Off the tread and causes It to
wear much faster than If two chains
were used. On an actual tryout 1t was
found at the end of 1900 mile run
that the tire having the chain was not
at all damaged and the tire without
chain had the tread almost worn of.

SCIENCE INVENTION.
Snake River Lava Field.

The valley Of the ancient Snake river
In Idaho was flooded with great out
pourings Of black lava, which spread
out sheet ON sheet, buried the old land
surface and partly filed the valley
with molten rock, which solicited and
has remained to this day undisturbed
except for the gorges that the streams
have cut in it. In some places old
mountains project through the petrihed
lava food as islands project above the
surface of the sea. and old ridges stick
out into it as capes and promontories.
The area covered by the Snake river
lava is about 10000 square miles. SO
far as is now known there is but one
lava field In North America of greater
extent-the Columbia river lava field,
which covers about 100000 square
miles. In Snake river canyon below

zontal sheets of lava are exposed, but
whether this is the maximum thick
