(By Associated Fress.

New London, Sept. Is. 1t seems
improbable that an agreement for
the pacifcation of the Mexican bor-
der will be reached by the Mexican
American joint commission without
a prolonged discussion. Practical
obstacles have arisen to numerous
suggestions made. Major General
Bliss told the commission of the OBJ
jections that can be raised to the
many proposals including the con-
stabulary. His attitude was not
revealed but it was believed that he
shared the view of many army off,
GERS that the plan depended on
stable Mexican government. 1t has
been contended that II the Carranza
government had been strong enough
to give practical cooperation in
forming a border police such a force
would not be needed. The commits
sion's session was short. The Mex
leans went to New York for the cele-
bration tomorrow of Mexico's ma
tional holiday. They will resume
their sessions Monday.

PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER
CHEERS CAPITAL LIFE

Washington, D.. c., Sept. ID
now i'll on the Jersey coast, wife Of
the cecretary of the treasury and
daughter of the President of the
United States, who was Miss Nell
Wilson, is out in company, which is
almost always, she bears the ex-
penses of conversation to very
large extent. The little lady is no
Stacker when it comes to contribut-
ing to the fund of general cheer and
entertainment.
Mrs McAdoo is brilliant and vi
vacious talker with a pretty gift for
anecdotes. She posses in addition the
still rarer and more suitable gift of
listener.
There is nothing artificial or per-
functory in the approving interest
sweet Nell displays toward each line
Of chatter perpetrated in her COM
pany. She not always does her part
effectively, but she unselfishly helps
you, with her eager attentiveness to
yours You listen to her and she
listens to you, and it's all square.
That's Eleanor. She's all right.
Being presidents daughter, plus
an engaging personality, makes Mrs.
|lMcAdoo the focus of attention at al
kmost any function at which she mob
!, lilies herself The lady can't truth
fully complain of being neglected So
cialIy. The world kowtows to her.
1t was at very smart luncheon
not long ago. that the young wife OF
the secretary of the treasury was ap-
pointed "hostess" at one of the va
rious small tables among which the
large company was distributed.
It's the Washington fashion late
lly, for the hostess in chief to sum-
mon to her aid at large functions
certain of her most favored guests
who are requested each to serve as
subhostesses at special tables, and to
circulate amidst the company and
corral messmates which have been
determined by the hostess in chief.
This clever system specializes the
interest of the affair and obviates
the use of place cards and chaotic
lstampeding in search of individual
seats.
Swaps Baby Stories
Eleanor Wilson McAdoo is as en-
thusiastic a mother as she is a wife.
Her little daughter, year old last
May, the facial counterpart of its fa-
ther, is an absorbing proposition to
her. Mrs. McAdoo swaps baby
stories with Mrs. Knapp. her chum
as Maitland Marshall and mother OF
,xhe infantile fiance of Ellen Wilson
McAdoc, and competes with symp-
toms and Juvenile accomplishments.
'sHave you seen my baby?" is the
lmcther's first question.

RIFLE MATCH TO BE
HELD AT JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, Sept. Is Accord
ing to an Associated Press dispatch
from Washington, received here last
night. the war department has de-
cided to hold the national rifle
matches on the Florida State range
at State Camp, beginning Oct. 20.
This decision will be hailed with
delight here, as it was feared that
the matches were to be called OF,
because of the emergency necessitat-
ing sending the regular army and
the National Guard to the Mexican
border.
In fact, after it was stated at the
war department in Washington Mon
day that the matches would prob
ably not be held this year, those in
terested had given up all hope, and
were looking forward to another
wear to bring the marksmen here.
Normal as Practicable
The dispatches from Washington
last night stated that the matches
would be held on the date previously
set "under conditions as nearly nor
NAL as practicable" 1t was indicat-
ed. however, that it could not be
hoped to hold the tournament on as
large a scale as had been contemplate
ed. because of the border situation .
When advised by the TimesIUnion
over the long distance telephone tna'
the matches were to be held, Gen. j
C. r. Foster, adjutant general ol
Florida. who is a member OF the Ma
tional Board for the Promotion oi
Rife Practice, expressed his satisfac'
tin. as he said that he had about
abandoned hope that the matches
would be held this year.
Some Vigorous Work
He stated, however, that the time
is short. and some vigorous worf
would be necessary in making nee
essary arrangements, as preparing
for such an event is gigantic task
and one which the average person
has little conception of. Last year a
this time all arrangements had beer
completed, Gen. Foster also stated
that so far as he knew only one OF
fetal had been selected TO conduc
the matches. Capt. W. C. Harllee
of the United States marine corps
having been named assistant execu
five officer some months ago.

INSANITY IN IRELAND
ON THE DECREASE
(By Associated Press. J

Dublin, Ireland, Sept. 15.-Insan-
lty in Ireland has lately shown a
decrease, chiefly among women.
This is something new, as Ireland's
statistics for insanity have always
been unusually figh. The superin-
tendent of the asylum at Belfast de-
clares the reason for the decrease is
due entirely to the improved stand
ard of living and of the restrictions
on the liquor traffic. Many people
who lived in poverty, are now in
comparative luxury. There are, he
declares, solid grounds for the hope
that, especially among women, Ire
land will witness a great diminution
of neurotic disorders

mere urged the advancement of the
plans for continuous inland water
way from New England to Florida
and denounced those who attack the

Congress by pork"
United States Senator Fletcher Of
Florida, said that no appropriation is
safeguarded as are those for rivers
and harbors. He declared that the
proper development of tha inland
water ways was as necessary to the
defense of the country as gunpowder.
Every dollar spent in these pro
jects,' said Senator Fletcher, "is
spent under the direction of the
chief of engineers of the United
States army, so where is the founda-
tion for the charge that these ap-
preparations, are passed out in re-
turn for reciprocal favors by con-
gressmen?"
United States Senator James E..
MARITIME, of New Jersey. said that
men fail in broad-minded patriotism
when they do not favor the inland
waterways projects to promote the
commercial interests of the country
and also aid in better national de-
fense.
