Keeping Out the Heat.

When the Bedoulns of the desert go
on caravan journey in the heat of
the summer, they wrap themselves up
in their woolcn cloaks so as to be fully,
but not tightly enveloped. Then they
wrap the ends of their kafiiah or head
dress, loosely around their faces, leav-
ing only their eyes and nose exposed.
They say that the covering keeps out
the heat Henry Martyr, the first
modern missionary to the Moslems,
followed their example. When he was
travelling through Persia on his way
back to the home in England that he
never reached, he encountered Il tenn
perature of 100 degrees in the shade
SO lie wrapped himself up In his
blanket. The practice OF covering up
the chin and mouth is most excellent.
The sands of the desert reflect like
metal mirror the heat and glare of the
blazing sun. Something must be done
for protection against the heat under
foot as well as the heat over head.

SubsidIzing the Poet.

We seem to be as much at sea In
this mattersas they We're about 100 A.
D., when the critic cursed the town
for keeping alive so many poets and
cursed 1t again for starving so many
of them; wanted to know how man
could behold the horses of the chariot
of the sun If he had to grub for liv-
ing, and wanted to drive most
poets back to grubbing for liv-
ing rs soon as he observed their man
ner of beholding the horses of the
chariot of the sun; said you ought TO
fatten poets to make them sing, and
became violently angry the moment
"A fat poet began singing; blamed
rich man for feeding pet lion instead
of subsidizlng some author at much
less expense, and was all for feeding
the author to the lion on reading what
he wrote. He wanted authors pro-
tected, but the literary choices made
by the protector almost drove him
mad.-The New Republic.

COUNT GOLD IN BILLIONS
Production Of Yellow Metal In the
Last Quarter Of Century Has
Been Enormous

Eight billion dollars In gold has been
mined in the last % years, against an
equal amount in the 400 years pre-
ceding, the National City bank stnted
today.
The gold money of the world has
doubled in the last 20 years, while sill.
yer money has decreased one-hnlf In
the same period. The bank, 1t was
said. was impelled to issue the state
ment because Of the exceptionally
high price Of silver. of which the Uni.
ted States was now the worlds larg.
est producers, and the large inflow
Of gold, of which this country had I'M
ported more than $500, O,OOO.OOO since
the beginning Of the year.
"The total world production of gold
from the discovery of America to the
present time was SIG, 500, 100000 In
coining value" the statement said
THE gold money of all countries of
the world for which statistics were
available in 1896 aggregated S4.144.-
OOO,OOO, and on January /, 1916. S..
25S,OOOOOO; silver money of the same
countries was in 1896, 4,237, ,O0O, 900,
and in 1916, $2,441. 100000. The 'un-
covered paper money Of the countries
in question was stated In 1896 at ST.
o5S,OO00OO, and in 1916 at SS,5S3, ,OOO,-
OOO."
Down to 1885 the worlds gold out
put never reached as much us $780,
100000 annually; in 1896 1t crossed
the $2OO,OO0,00O line; in 1903. $780,
100000, and in 1906, for the first time,
exceeded S40O,0OO.OOO. 1t advanced
steadily until it reached $470,O00,OOO
in 1915 Silver production first eX-
ceeded S1O0,0OO,OOO annually in 1880.
and In 1893 exceeded, for the first
time, $20000000O, making its highest
record in 1911, $292. 100000, and slow
ly declining to S232 100000 In 1915.

ing about the election Of a Republi-
can u. S. senator in 1918, to ill the
place then made vacant by Senator
Shafroth. Their hore for the secur-

pend very much upon how the DEM

NO ADVICE TO MEXICO
II Republic Breaks With Germany.
1t VIII Do So of own
Nolition.
IBy Associstcd pres.,

10y associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July lo.-Reports
that Mexico is about to break with
Germany led to the authoritative state
ment to-day that any such a move
would not be based on advice given
by the American government. 1t was
stated that no suggestion Of an &C.
tive Endorsement OF the position of
the United States has gone to Mexico
City from Washington. except the gem
eral note addressed to all neutral gov
ernments upon the rupture of relations
with, Germany in March. 1t was clear.
1t is said; that while the American gov
eminent would welcome a friendlier
attitude by Mexico. many high Of
fcials believe the best interests of
most Of the nations concerned would
be served If the southern republic
maintains neutrality.
Ambassador Fletcher. who came hero
to rcport in detail to Secretary Lansing
on conditions in Mexico, has told the
State Department that. despite some
Improvement In Mexican affairs gen
orally. much remains to cause concern
to the American government. This
circumstance is considered important.
because a break with Germany would
give Mexico an opportunity to get
money and place the United States un-
der certain obligations.
Those officials who have not been
eager to SEQ Mexico Join in the war
do not object 10 seeing General Car
rama supplied with money, but they
believe that, without contributing
much real aid to the allies. Mexico
would make 1t hard for the United
States. France Great Britain and other
nations with grievances against her
to assume n stern attitude after the
war.
