QUEER OLD "MAGlC MIRROR"
One In British Museum Known to Have
Been Used by Aztecs and
Ancient Mexicans.

Crystal gazing and the use of magic
mirrors played an important part in
religion and wizardry in the past, and
though almost every nation had its
own method these did not vary as
much as it would be supposed.
Thus while Japan had in her inner
temples mirrors which only the priest
saw, and which were always to reflect
the good and the beautiful for the
gods, the ancient Mexicans taught
that their god Texcatlipuco had e
magic mirror in which he saw everys.
thing that happened each day in the
world.
A real obsidian mirror with its
strange textile string still attached is
in the British museum now and was
used by the Aztecs and ancient Next
cans for various purposes and very
probably for crystal gazing. It is
much the same as the other crystals
used by so-called wizards" so far as
its shape is concerned. Even in recent
years crystal gazing has been prae-
ticed, and it is said by those who have
tried it that the mirror or crystal
seems to disappear into a mist after it
has been stared at in complete silence
for great length Of time, and then

IMPORTANCE OF OUR OUTDOOR LIFE

Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, that dean
Of American fighting men, strongly
urges that both state and federal aid
be given to every legitimate movement
to make attractive and perpetuate our
outdoor interests.
Hunting and fishing he places in
the front rank Of outdoor sports, which
he believes was one of the greatest
factors in making it possible for Uncle
Sam to cross the seas with an army
capable Of standing the strain and
acquitting themselves as our boys did.
General Scott knows whereof he
speaks. Retired under the age limit,
his robust body and keen mind per
mitted him to spring back into the har-
ness at his country's call. He credits
his fitness to the clean outdoor life
he has lead.
The most important thing to keep
in mind is the sensible conserving OF
the game and fish we now have. No one
section Of the country must be allowed

So That Prosecution Will
BE Immediate.

New Orleans. - John M. Parker,

ney General A. Mitchell Palmer urg-
ing that he mobilize his volunteer
aides in this state to take charge of
the work of unmasking profteers and

The committee is to be composed Of
retail grocers and dry goods mer-
chants, wholesalers, If possible, pro-
ducers, labor representatives and
citizens, who shall investigate and re

AMERICANS MISTREATED in MEXICO

Dr. and Mrs. Charles T. Sturgis,
victims of Mexican outrages, have ar
rived in New Orleans and will prob
ably tell their story to congress. Doc
tor Sturgis is an American dentist who
went to Mexico 20 years ago to prac-

worth 100000 near Depolan in Chi
pas. In 1915 he married Miss Cora
Keenright in Washington, D. @. Mrs.
Sturgis' mother, sixty-five years old
and in delicate health, went to visit
the Depolan plantation. Here is Mrs.
Sturgis' story in brief:
''In January, 1918, we were raided.
The raiders were Carranzista soldiers
commanded by Capt Leopolda Garcia
and Capt. Julio Castillano. They over
ran the house, made all the plantation
hands quit and told US they would run
every American out of the country.
Captain Garcia struck me with the
butt of his rifle.

ADMIRAL "ROUGH-HOUSE" RODMAN

When Admiral Hugh Rodman first
came to the Pacific coast years ago as
a junior officer soon after his gradua-
ton from Annapolis he acquired the
sobriquet "Rough House" from men
and officers of the navy.
Returning now at the head of half
the American navy, he brings a deco
ration from the king of England, which
in that country would cause him to be
addressed "Sir Hugh" as a knight COM
mander of the order of st, Michael
and st. George.
Admiral Rodman throughout his
naval career has been noted as a dis
ciplinarian. ''He got things DONE" in
the words of the navy. Direct methods
Of getting things done earned the title
Rough House" bestowed in affection
by his men and brother officers when
he was young. Years later the same
qualities brought him distinction from
