 Edison Making Secret Tests.
 The extent to which science has come to the aid of the government,
 providing new means of warfare and systematizing the naval and military

 Co., ordination of Transportation Fac tors.

The road officials under the plan are to continue in their present offices and perform their present duties, but they, are to become in, fact if not actually in name government officials.

CHAPTER XIII.

Young Howe had been firmly re-
solved to give up all his bachelor hab-
its with his wedding day. In his indo-
lent, rather selfish way, he was much
In love with his wife.
But with the inevitable misunder-
standings of the first months of mar
rage had come a desire to be appreci-
ated once again at his face value.
Grace had taken him, not for what he
was, but for what he seemed to be.
With Christine the veil was rent. She
knew him now-all his small indo-
lences, his affectations, his weaknesses.
Later on, like other women since the
world began. she would learn to dis
semble, to affect to believe him what
he was not.
Grace had learned this lesson long
ago. 1t was the A B G of her knowl-
edge. And so, back to Grace came

The hospital had taught Sidney one
thing: that it took many people to
make a world, and that out of these
some were inevitably vicious. But vice
had remained for her a clear abstrac-
ton. There were such people, and be-
cause one was in the world for service
one cared for them. Even the Saviour
had been kind to The of the
streets.
But here abruptly Sidney found the
great injustice of the world-that be-
cause of this vice the good suffer more
than the wicked. Her young spirit
rose in hot rebellion.

PUT UNITED STATES FIRST
Spanish-Americans in New Mexico
Have Nothing in Common With
People Across the Border.

1t is absurd to talk about any COM
munity of interest, sympathy or fell
low feeling for old Mexico MeXicans
among the native people of this state.
They have absolutely nothing in com
mon and the average New Mexico
Spanish-American doesn't take kindly
to being clasScd in the same category.
The New Mexico natives live CLOSE
to the soil; they are intensely local
in their affiliations and their loyalty
is based simply on the fact that their
home is the United States. New Mex
leo is their home state and they live
largely in the same spot where their
forcfathcrs have lived for centuries.
With Mexico they have no more ties
than with any other foreign country,
save that they speak the same Ian
gllage. The fact that the native PEG
pie have furnished three companies of
the National Guard at the border and
that the Spanish-American company in
number of recruits than any other
company in the state ought to be Suf-
ficient nSWer to these intimationS.
A well-known wool grower declared
that in the lambing season. when a
large extra number of hands is en-
plOyed, he lever uses old Mexico labor
for the reason that the poems are lazy
and inefficient and never get along
with the native New Mexico labOrers
by reason of the deep-seated a%ntipathy
of the latter to the Mexicans.-Santa
