Arabic word meaning a weight of four

a measure for determining the fine

London, Paris and Amsterdam Jew

ligrass (3.163 troy grains). The
Soath African carat is said to equal
S.174 grains. The finsness of gold is
measured by a ratio with "a carats

Much Beef Goes to Waste.

Although various estimates place
the number OF cattle in Paraguay all
the way from one to four million head,
the cattle industry with untold posi-.
bilities, is scarcely out of the stage
when the animals are slaughtered for
their hides alone. While all the world
is clamoring for meat, cattle in Para
quay sell for but little more than what
their skins will bring.

Frederick Funston"
Tonight it was pointed out au-
thoritatively that the result of the
various meetings in FL Paso does not
mean that there is any immediate
threat of a rupture between the Unit
ed Staes and Mexico. So far as the
United States is concerned, it is said,
it's army in the Mexican State oil
chihuahua will remain practically in
active. The only break that can pos
sibly come would follow an attack by
CarranZa troops upon American
troops, it was said. 1t is understood
that Gen. Obregon has been warned
that such an attack will mean the
beginning of reprisals.
Conditions along the border were
emphasized tonight by the receipt of
dispatches from Marathon, Texas,
stating that Mexican bandits had
again crossed into American territory
and fired on American soldiers and
civilians. x
