ailing so that his close friends mar

woodrow Wilson was never robust
individual. He worked indefatigably
as college professor and frequently
put so much energy into his lectures
that he used himself up completely each
day. 1t was in 1908 that he suffered a
nervous reaction and was given leave
OF absence from the presidency OF
Princeton university. He Travelled in
Europe and came back to Princeton re-
freshed. He soon was engfossed how
ever, in the bitterest fight OF his ca
reer--the graduate school controversy
at Princeton--and was compelled again
to interrupt his lectures and take
vacation, this time at Bermuda. Mr.
Wilson suffered from neuritis in his
arms and hands due very largely to
the years spent in writing books. 1t
was this ailment which compelled him
to take up the typewriter, something
he has used constantly since.

The controversy RACES around two
widely different men-Henry Ford

a commander in the navy during the

Newberry, as is usual with new
senator's during their first term, has
taken little active part in the pro-
ceedings of the senate. He has
made no speeches of length and has
cnly taken the floor at rare inter-
walls to introduce a pension bill or
bill for a bridge of local improve
ment in his home state.
He has been fairly active in COM
mittee work, however, especially in
the senate naval affairs committee
where his former experience as Sec
retary of the navy, also as assistant
secretary and later as a commander
has been of value. He also takes
part in the senate banking and cur
rency committees work which has
included consideration of the noted

Farmers Let Bandits
Have Their Own Way
BY Ralph II. Turner

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
SAN LUIS PoTosI. Mexico.-(By
Mail0-It doesn't pay to antagonize
bandits by attempting TO resist their
depredations. Let them have their
way, lest they be irritated Or, if
it can be done discreetly, play the
game with them"
This is the philosophy of a great
many farmers in the San Luis Potosi
district, located in the central Mex
lean state of the same name-a state
which is about equal in size to the
area of West Virginia. The farmers
appear to have acquired tins reason
ing through a wealth of experience
Their dealings with the local ma
rauders have taught them it is the
wisest method to pursue.
And the practice does seem to have
obtained a measure of result, even
though its workings are not always
above the suspicion OF the Carran2a
government. At any rate, the dip
lomatic" farmer of this section is
able today to work his land; ne is
producing. The bandit, of course,
may become over-zealous on occas-
ions, but the farmer figures that by
and large it is wisest to adopt the
following tactics;
When the bandit makes his ap-
pearance. cooperate with him. Meet
him half way. II he demands food
or other supplies, hand them to him.
Better do that than resist and have
the bandit take eyerything-and per-
haps endanger life at the same time.
By this placating attitude, the man
on the soil reasons, he will be allowed
to continue operation of his farm
The story, however. is not without
the other side. Federal forces are
working to suppress banditry and
establish order. The opportunist
policy of many of the farmers, they
declare, is often equivalent to con-
nivance with the bandits and i'm
pedes the governments efforts for
law and order.
But the important feature is that
the struggle for peace appears to be
making headway The farmer Of
