STORY OF A FORCED LOAN.
The Way zspsts Gave the Bankers Of
Msxieo Two Surprises.

One morning Zapata, the Mexican
leader, issued two procamations. One
was prohibition edict closing the
saloons. the other command for the
bankers of the city to assemble for n
conference.
The bankers attended the meeting
They went In fear, dreading confisca.
ton Of their deposits. Only few
days before the armies of General
Carranza had collected "forced loan"
OF 100000 pesos from the banks
What mercy could lie expected of the
bandit leader? Zapata's speech was
short and to the point.
"Caballcros," he said, my men are
hungry. want 10000 pesos to feed
them for a few days You will pay
this. promise you protection. You
may carry on your business without
molestation as long ms you do not aid
the enemy. You may go wien you
sign Ike order for the money"
Thankful to escape With such mod
est demand. the bankers did as they
were ordered. Zapata Kept his part OF
the bargain. end for months the city
was better policed han 1t has ever
been since 'ortirio Dlaz was driven
from Mexico. But this is the strange
part of the story strange to one who

BE willing to try new foods Certain
plentiful AID nourishlng foods widely
used and enjoyed in one section are
practically unknown in other sections
of the country Learn To know all the
good things. not 4 few only.
People too easily get into food ruts-
insist ON eating only the food they are
used 10 and refuse to give fair trial
TO others. This causes undue demand
for certain staples. with resulting
scarcity o. high prices when crops are
short AZ The same time other valu.
able foods may be relatively cheap and
available, \ striking instance of this
Is failure fully to appreciate rice-a

ample Is refusal in certain sections to
use anything but wheat as breadstuh
when cora--a valuable cereal widely
used elsewhere as breadstuif-is
plentiful and relatively cheap.
Learn how to cook all kinds of sta.
pie foods and to serve them IN va.
rlety of ways. Simple dishes well pre-.
pared are better than expensive foods
badly cooked.
Many persons are prejudiced against
certain good foods because when first
tried the foods We're improperly coo,lcd.

EASTLAND CASES IN
HOPELESS TANGLF
Supreme Court Calls on Judge lands
to Tell Why lie Ordered Cases Con-
sOIidated.
Omitted Press)


CHICAGO, Ill, Jan 16.-Although
more than year and a half has
elapsed since the picnic steamer East
land turned turtle at her dock in the
Chicago river here and snuffed out
the lives of S12 men, women and
children out for a holiday. compensa-
ton for their deaths has not been
made and the suits growing out of
the disaster today are in a bad legal
tangle.
Surviving relatives Of the S12 wage
workers who met death on the East
land are, in many instances, poor peo-
pie who depended on the earnings of
the victims of the disaster. Many of
those have had a hard struggle to
live since the Inflated afternoon of
July "a, 1915.
Interest in the situation today cen
tered on the question of whether 373
suits for damages, in federal court
shall be consolidated and all tried at
once, or tried separately. Federal
Judge Lands was called upon yester-
day to tell the United States supreme
court why he consolidated the cases
and why he thought they ought to be
tried together.
Should the supreme court order the
cases tried separately, as the owners
of the Eastland demand, it is estimat-
ed that the trials will last fifteen
years, allowing a minimum of two
weeks for each case. Surviving rela-
tives of about 300 of the victims have
not sued at all, while others have
brought suit in Illinois state courts.
There is a bill before congress to
give the United States court of claims
jurisdiction in the cases. This would
open the way for the surviving rela-
yves OF victims to make claims
against the government. Many Of them
blame the government. through the
federal steamboat inspection service.
for the disaster, but as the govern
ment cannot be sued they have no
way of recovering damages unless the
court of claims is given jurisdiction.
