Mexicans Think Rebel
Chief Burst His Coffin

Chautla, Mexico.-Legends al
ready are beginning to spring up
among the superstitious and ig
norant regarding Emiliano Zap
alta, thee rebel chief who met
death here on April 10. In an
attempt to preserve the bandits
body as long as possible to give
the greatest number Of his fol-
lowers a chance to see it, it
was packed in ice, in the alb
sence of embalming fluids. The
ice burst the sides and top of
the flimsy coffin and gave rise
to superstitious tales that the
"Attila of the South" as Zap
alta was called, was not really
dead, but had burst his coffin
and escaped.

q the easiest in the world to
make, since all Of it's parts
are in straight lines. Any
schoolgirl who is able to sew can
make flag for about one-half of what
it will cost her at a store, and still
have stronger and more durable one
when she has it finished. There are
two principal ways of proceeding in
the making of an American flag. The
one used by most persons is to de-
termine first the width of the stripes,
so that if the flag is to be made Of
silk, ribbon may be purchased of a
standard width. From this the size
of the flag may be determined. The
second method is to decide either the
width or the length of the flag and
then compute the amount of material
from the size decided upon.
Let us assume that we wish to
make a flag from two-inch silk rib
bons, since two-inch ribbon is stand
ard size and may be purchased at any
dry goods store. Since the stripes
will be two inches wide, the width Of
the canton, or the blue field, will be
seven times two inches, Or IA inches,
and it's length will be the same, since
the canton of the American flag is
square. The canton is also one-third
of the length of the flag. Then the
flag will be three times IA inches,
which equals AZ inches and the width
hnirU tyxyn In I'M
Thus, to use two-inch ribbon, one will
have a flag three and half feet long
and little more than two feet wide.
Material Needed.
The next thing is to determine just
how much two-inch ribbon must be
purchased, so that the stripes may be
made with little or no waste. There
are three full white stripes in the
complete length Of the flag, which
equals 126 inches, and added to that
thirds the length of the flag, or 81
inches, making a total of 21O inches,
or about six yards. For the red stripes,
fl is necessary to add one extra short
red stripe of IA inches, which is
about half of a yard. Thus, for a
flag made with two-inch ribbon, ii
will be necessary for the maker to
purchase six yards of white and six
and half yards Of red ribbon. The
canton will be seven inches square
and the stars may be made from
smaller widths of ribbon. There must
be 4S stars arranged in six rows of
eight stars each. By using a ruler
the exact position Of the stars may
be determined and they can be easily
cut if a paper pattern is made be-
forehand.
By the second method, one deter.
mines the length of fiag-for example
make the flag q inches long. By ap.
plying the same process of computa
ton backwards, the size Of the can
ton will be seven inches square and
the width of stripes one inch. The
amount of material may be de
ltermined by the same calculations used
in the first method.

MAKES HIM POSE AS GUEST
San Francisco Husband Gets Tired
of Notions of Artistic
Wife.

San FranciscO.-Because his wife
believed she was destined to be a
prima donna and made him pose as a
guest in his own home, Jacob Flower
man, insurance man, was granted a
divorce here.
FloWerman said his wife contended
singer to be popular must be single.
Therefore they lived together secret
ly. When guests came he said he
went out the back way and later was
admitted at the front door like any
other guest.
Finally, he says, he got tired of this
deception and sent his wife back East

Can Kick If She Wants To.

New York.-No matter how tight

if she wants to. Magistrate Douras so
ruled and he put under bond to keep
the peace Miss Jennie Berger, 33. Miss
Berger denied that she had kicked
Joseph Goldmutz and told the judge
it could not be done without splitting
the skirt she was wearing.

FLU" STILL S
CAUSE Of DEATHS
But Health Morale of Public
Treasured As There is De-
crease in Deaths

TRENTON, July 9.-That influenza
is still exacting a death toll in New
Jersey is apparent from the fact that
the May statistics of the Department
of Health show a total of sixty fatali-
ties from this malady. However. the
health morale of the people of the
state may be treasured when it IS
known that this is a drop from l35
deaths from the same cause in April.
These figures were obtained today
from David s. South, chief of the Blu
read of Vital Statistics.
The records for June have not yet
been completed, SO that it is Impossible
to give them. That the "fu" which
caused such ravages throughout the
country during the past year, is rap
idly declining is apparent from an
examination of the figures for each
month showing the record of deaths
in New Jersey since October of last
year. They follow: October, SAT-;
November 1929; December, 1,12S;
January 1887; February 172; March
452; April 1876; May 60.
The report for May says thai while
the disease is not epidemic through
out the state it is still prevalent.
During the month of May there was
a total of 3,1Q1 deaths of residents
and eighty-three non-residents, rep
resenting a total decrease of 492 from
the previous month. Out OF the total
Of 1884 deaths, twenty-seven were
by suicide. Common causes of NOR
tally and the figures follow:
tuberculosis, 312; cancer, 220; dis
eases of nervous system. $50; diseases
of ~circulatory system, sos; pneumo-
MIA, 1913; diseases of the digestive sys-
tenn, las; Bright's disease, Pol. There
were but six deaths from typhoid
fever.
There were 388 deaths among chill
dren under one year of age; liz
deaths among children over n veal
and under five years of age, and 1,14t

dancing Indian camp fire dances.
This all pleases the American sol
diers immensely, though the strange
figure of a copper colored girl In
leather, beaded robes, her hair down
her back, and her feet in moccasins,
is quite too much for the limited imag-
nations of the German inhabitants
who see her! Uniformed "Y" girls
are no longer a novelty in Germany
but the none too agile minds OF the
Germans will never lGcome accus-
toned to Tsianina. The other two IN
dian maids who are entertaining the
Americans are the Princess Blue
Feather, direct descendant of Monte
yuma Of the Aztecs and the Princess
Galilohi of the Cherokee tribe.
