FALL AND LATIN-AMERICA.

Senator Fall has been appointed
chairman of two important sub-com-
mittees of the senate committee on
foreign relations The work of one of
the committees is to investigate con-
ditions in Mexico. learn how many
Americans have been murdered or
mistreated there. how much American
property has been destroyed, and what
the administration at Washington has
done for the protection of the life
and property of its citizens on both
sides of the international boundary.
The work of the other sub-commit-
tee will have to deal with the pay
ment of the $25,000,000 to go to
Colombia in settlement for the
Panama canal claim. That would
have been an easy matter had not
Colombia resorted to one of Carranza's
poIicies--decided to seize American
property in Colombia.
Some years ago a number of Amer
lean financiers acquired lands in
Colombia on which there were
symptoms of oil They spent vast
sums of money prospecting. and some
two or three years ago their efforts
were rewarded. to some extent, at
least. They found oil. and there is
promise that the production may be
equal to that of Mexico, or greater.
But the Colombian government has
issued a decree taking over the oil
properties, and the senate foreign
relations committee has dee!ded~not
to permit payment of the $25 100000
until there is assurance that American
property holders in Colombia are not
to be robbed of their rights.
Before agreeing to ratfy the Bryan
treaty with Colombia. the senate COM
mittee had forced the department of
state to strike from it the apology Mr..
Bryan wrote into it for Roosevelt's
recognition of the Panama revolution.
There could be no apology without
admission of wrong doing. The
apologsts in Washington had been
very cheerful about this. because it
would involve a decided reflection on
Theodore Roosevelt, who as president
refused to submit to blackmail by
Colombia in the Panama negotiations
and took advantage of the Panama
revolt to put through the great canal
project for the benefit of the whole
world.
1t is said that both President Will
son and Secretary Bryan. were insis-
tent upon making apology to Colom-
bia, attaching more Importance to 1t
than did the Bogata government itself
The idea of apologizing for what
Roosevelt did was quaint enough, but
with a republican senate it was not
practical, and with Roosevelt dead 1t
was not so desirable as it was when
there was a possibility that he might
again become a candidate for the
presidency.
Twenty-Five million dollars for the
wounded pride of Colombia is big
sum, but this country can afford to
pay it, though not so long as Colom7
bia' has in mind the Carranza idea
of confiscating American property,
acquired under authority of theI
Colombian government,
"A different day has dawned for the
Latins than any they have formerly
known in their dealings with America
and with American citizens.

Last year, because of war and the
absence of miners IN the. service of
the country. congress PASSED an act
waiving labor upon each unpatente0
claim, upon which. usually 500 worth
of development work must be done.
The act has Just been extended to
cover this year. but applies to not
more than five contiguous claims held
by one person or corporation. The
exemption, goes also as to oil claims
on federal land. where the holdings
were taken as placer claims.

The foregoing notice appeared in

an incident that took place at Hugus

Ii was during presentation of a
musical comedy called "Ba Ba Bum

and occupied a seat in the third row
with Mrs Walker Toward the end
of the first act a young woman pro-
grained as Nils. Tootsie MeGinnis
came out on the stage and sang a
song entitled. He's My Daddy and
Pm His Sweet Patootie." She sang
1t straight at the mayor and at one
point injected his victims name.
The lines ran something like this:
He's my Daddy and I'm His Sweet
Patootie,
Mayor Walker is sure some cutey."
When Mills. McGinnis finished the
verse she leaned over the footlights
and held her hands out imploringly
at the mayor. At that point mans
voice coming from the rear of the
hall said: %z
You got some Sweet Patootie,

"The only argument raised against

AMONG US GIRLS

Dear Girls:
SILENCE is golden" so goes the old
adage. But the question arises in my
mind is silence golden? There is that
silence when a person gets real angry
at you and instead of balm you out
just sits perfectly still without saying
one little bit Of a word-oh, it will get
you so mad you could almost shout.
Then there is hat silence when by
speaking up and asserting your rights
you accomplish an end which would
benefit yourself and those dear to you.
Then there is that never to be for
gotten experience when man o love
sits there and says nothing instead of
popping the question. Isn't that a
terrible silence girls. personally l
have never been lucky enough to have
this experience but L should imagine
it would be maddening.) Is silence
golden?
No, I'm afraid that that old adage
cannot stand the -encroaching force Of
controversy. Silence is alright in its
place then it is, and then only it is
golden, otherwise L should say 1t re-
sembles lead.

One of the most popular forms OF

food which, when properly ripened and

Not only does this food contain a large
