OLD CHURCHYARDS USED

sections Of some American cities

him were not to blame. since 1t was
difficult to know which faction was I'M
lawfully shipping arms, as their status
changed so rapidly.
Historically the Mexican boundary
line has been subject to few changes.
There were early expansionists who
thought that the United States made a
mistake in accepting Spain's contention
that the Sabine river and not the Rio
Grande was the border of the Louisiana
purchase. When Texas separated from
Mexico this vast extent of territory
was part of the Mexican state of
Coahuila, but the Rio Grande furnished
Il natural border between them, and.
therefore, became the boundary. The
present boundaries were fixed by the
Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty of 1SiS, and
by the convention providing for the
Gadsden purchase. which was negoti-
ated five years later
The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo con-
firmed the title of the United States to
Texas. Under it Mexico ceded Cali
fornia and all the country between
California and Texas. except the area
which later was included in the Gads-
den purchase, about thirty thousand
square miles, and which comprises the

southern sections of what are now
New Mexico and Arizona.
MeXlco'S total cesSion of territory to
the United States included Texas, small
parts or what are now Colorado, Kan
saS, New Mexico and Oklahoma. and a
small part also of what is now Wyom-
ing. Arizona, Nevada and Utah were
part OF the California cession.
The great mass of the Mexican pop
ulation has little knowledge of geog-
raphy, and could not define the terri
tory which Mexico has lost, but it
knows that there is huge area that
once was Mexico. This is the funda-
mental cause for the distrust of any
American advance across the boundary
line, and the bandit leaders are able to
play upon the fears of the poems that
the United States means to grab more
land.
They do not say that their bandit
warfare is to prevent the extension of
the boundary line of the United States
All they have to say is that they are
lighting to save Mexico to the Mex
leans. This is the difficult situation
which Americans along the border line
have to meet. and they realize that 1t
is leading cause of the hatred which
the Mexican poems feel for the grim
goes
There is also. it must be said class
of border Americans who have shown
little regard for Mexican susceptible
tiles in the matter of extending the
boundary line. They not as mer-
cenary or selfish they are charged
with being. but. after a certain way of
thinking. they believe that it really is
the destiny of the United States to
move further south.
The acquisition of Lower California
by purchase frequently has been urged
a measure of national self-defense
The Magdalena bay incident is still
fresh enough in the public mind to
emphasize this point of view.
There also have been negotiations
for the purchase of territory in Sonora
which would have been an extension of
the Gadsden purchase. Sonora itself,
geographically speaking, is more easily
accessible from the United States than
from Mexico proper, since the Sierra
Madres are an actual mountain wall be-
tween it and Central Mexico.
Projects also have been encouraged
for the acquisition of parts of Chihua-
hua and the state of Coahuila. Villa,
at a time when it did not seem that he
could extend his military power beyond
the northern part of Chihuahua and
Coahuila, was credited with an ambi-

men's have been tried at the Christ
ohurch and Old st. Pauls Church in
Philadelphia.
In some cities. notably in Philadel-
phIa and New York. there was last
summer a plea for the opening of
churchyaras in the crowded districts of
the city during the summer months
There are evidences that in Philadel-
phia at least an effort will be made
this spring by certain public-spirited
men and women to bring about the
opening OF churchyards in crowded dis
trlcts as rest places for mothers with
little children. An advocate of this use

enough green grass and shade to make

F1TIE war and the war contract have
brought the strange appearing and
q the foreign sounding word lungs
ten into the limelight, and thousands of
persons have become more or less ac-
uuainted with the appearance of the
word. though it may be that there is till
a lack of knowledge Of the thing. or the
stuff for which the word stands.
Tungsten is the chief and essential in

which shells and guns cannot be machin-
ed 1t is an essential of the steel which
goes into various tools Is made, and
every one knows of the great demand
that has been made on the toolmakers
of the world that greater quantities of
military ordnance may be turned out.
The European war is responsible for
enormous contracts for American ma
chine tools. and in consequence OF this
the demand for high-speed tool steel has
increased amazingly. While all this has
been going on the supply of tungsten in
this country has been reduced by the
shutting off of importations. Tungsten
ore comes largely from India, Australia
and New Zealand. and the production of
the ore in this country until recently was
only 1000 tons annually, most Of which
was produced in California and Colorado.
The United States bureau of mines and
the geological survey have been lombard
ed with requests for Information relating
to tungsten. the location of the known
deposits of tungsten ore and the pos
sble or probable location of deposits yet
to be discovered. Prospecting for lungs
ten is being carried on with ardor in the
west and south and reports of discoveries
of ore bodies of this valuable metal come
occasionally to the press. 1t was recently

Tungsten ore some years ago was SELL
