Iowa City, Aug. 14-Examinatl ton OF
tho records of 5000 Perkins cases has
been begun by Miss Lola Yerkes, regis
tered nurse, who has Joined the staff
OF the extension division at the state
University Of Iowa to carry on work
among children over the state who
have been treated at the hospitals UNI
der the Perkins law. This statute pro-
vides for treatment at the expense of
the state for any child who is under
sixteen years Of age and is afflicted
with some deformity or suffering from
some malady that can probably be
remedied," and whose parents are I'M
able to provide means for the surgical
and medical treatment and hospital
care of the child.
After Miss Yerkes has prepared
detailed record Of each patient and
consulted physicians who gave treat
-ment, she will arrange an itinerary
which will enable her to visit the lar
gest number Of important cases. She
expects to be able to leave Iowa City
In September, after which the greater
part Of her time will be occupied in
travelling over the state visiting the
crippled and diseased children in their
homes and carrying the reconstruction
work forward even after hospital
treatment Is no longer given.
Probably 1t will be impossible to
call on every child who has received
treatment at the university hospital
under the Perkins law: however Miss
Yerkes states that every case requir-
ing attention will be visited and the
patient recommended to the hospital
for further treatment If necessary. She
will give health education, will see that
advice prescribed by the hospital doc
tors is being followed. and will make
certain that the child is being educated
in manner which will link up with
the instructor. zen at the hospital
school. Environ,nent of the children
will be considered as we'll as medical
needs, and Miss Yerkes will undertake
TO see that the proper home life is at
forded.
In the different communities she will
work with the public health nurses.
school nurses. and other public health
officials who have come in contact
with Perkins cases. When children
are not receiving proper nutrition some
charitable agencies or public health
service will probably be enlisted to

THOUSAND

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. e.-Re-
ports of the death of three members
of the crew of the superdreadnaught
New Mexico and the injury of 40
others in a fire aboard the vessel
here last night were confirmed to-
day by the ships officers.
All of the New Mexico dead and
injured were victims of suffocaticn
except one who vas drowned. The
damage is estimated at 100000.
The officers and men showed such
great courage that they had to be
restrained in the fire fighting, it is
reported. The fire is believed to
have been started by a cigarette.
1t is reported that ONE of the
men seized masks used for drill pur-
poses only and unfit to keep out
smoke and fumes.
The men offered themselves for
rescue work so fast that they had to
be ordered back. About a thousand
visitors on the New Mexico were
cleared from the ship in half an
hour without confusion.

AIRPLANES GUARD
CAL. FORESTS
FROM FIRE

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-The
airplane, ''The Eye of the Army"
after having done it's work of de-
struction on the battle fronts, has
been recruited in the Pacific coast
states in a new work Of preventing
destruction. Within the past few
days national forests from one end
of California to the other have been
put under the surveillance of fleet
De Havilands, equipped with wire
less sets to call quick attention to
forest fires and to direct h fire
fighters in about the same manner
that they directed the artillery in
the world war.
An escadrille of De Havilands
have been brought to the forests in
the northern part of the state,
where, with Lieutenant E. G.. kieI
in charge they are making daily
trips radiating from Redding. They
replaced a set of seven Curtiss BIZ
planes, which had been sent from
Salem, Ore. One route starts at
Redding and goes north over Sis
son and McCloud to Alturas and
thence south to Mt. Lassen and
west to Redding. The total trip is
$50 miles.
Another goes northwest from
Redding over Trinity Center and
then circles over Forks of Salmon,
the klamath river at Happy Camp,
Yreka, Orleans on the lower klam-
ath and Willow creek.
Another goes from Redding over
Hayfork valley, Lakeport, Elk creek,
Oriental and Harrison Gulch.
A patrol centering at Sacramento
flies to obscure Sierra points, land
ing at Red Bluff.
Another patrol centering at FIRES
no goes over Hume. behind Sequoia
Park over the high Sierras and then
on to Bakersfield. Still another
route guards the Kings River coun-
try.
A dozen or more airplanes even
tually will be used in the patrol and
will be driven by aviators who will
be skilled in forestry as we'll as
flying knowledge.

PROF|TEERING IS
AT LIMIT IN
SIBERIA

OMSK, Siberia. Sept. S--Proflt-
eering has reached its apex as "a
fine art" throughout central AMI
western Siberia wher. no speeula-
tor is satisfied with less than 100
per tent profit and often gouges as
much as 1000 per cent out of his
hapless customer. according to
stories coming in here.
These traders, many of them
smugglers, who, taking advantage
of the 81 heritage of everything except
the products of the country, the un-
stable value of The ruble and the
difficulties of transportation, con-
trive to get through with a few
pairs of shoes, particularly ladies'
shoes, a few bolts of silk or dress
goods. a few cases Of timed fruits,
or in fact any foreign made product
whatsoever, reap rich hervests.
Before a regular express service
was inaugurated the many special
trains coming up from Vladivostok
and Hardin were the targets Of the
spectators. BY connivance with
the porters and unknown to the
other occupants, nearly every spe-
cial brought in it's complement of
merchandise slowed away under
berths and in obscure corners, to
be handed over upon arrival at
some designated point.
The Red Cross has had it's diff
culties sidestepping the designs of
this gentry from time to time. On
one occasion, it is related, a Red
Cross representative in Irkutsk was
approached with an offer of a hun
dred pairs of shoes as a gift for the
good of the cause. In due time they
arrived, from Dairen, but in place
of one hundred pairs there were
one. thousand. They had passed
the customs free OF charge, being
consigned to the Red Cross, and it
was the owners expectation that the
extra 900 pairs would be delivered
to him. They were all bundled off
to Rairen.
The SPECTATORS day will have
gone, however, it is said, as soon as
the traffic is readjusted under the
i~nterallied committee management
and legitimate commerce is re-
sumed. Many of the abuses have
already been corrected through
closer government inspection at the
factories, but in spite of all efforts
to check it, the speculation evil still
persists,

TONOPAH STRIKE MAY
SOON Be TERMINATED

Indications are that the Tonopah-
Divide strike is drawing to a close
and that the next two weeks will
see the end of the trouble, with a
probability that the mines will re-
open within 10 days. This appears
to be the opinion in we'll informed
circles, coming from men who
heretofore have been pessimistic re-
garding the prospects for a settle
ment. 1t is reported that the men
who were forced into the strike by
labor agitators are now more anX-
ious than ever to return to work
and it is said that this faction is
gradually gaining power. 1t is be-
lieved that anything in the way of
a settlement that will remove the
stigma of being a ''scab" from the
real miners of the two districts will
end the strike and result in the re-
opening of the mines.
The state officials. including Gov
erntr Boyle, who, according to re-
ports, were largely instrumental in
settling the Ely walk-out and in
averting a strike at Virginia City,
are in Tonopah, where the situation
is said to be little more difficult
than it was in the two districts in
the northern part of the state.
At Virginia City the men returned
under a flat scale of IS per day,
the agreement to remain in effect
for one year and to be terminated
after that only on 80 days written
notice by either party. The miners
have discussed a cooperative store.
in which the operators have agreed
to aid them.
1t is said the governor and other
officials plan to remain in Tonopah
until the trouble has been settled.
The operators have been standing
pat and there is every indication
that this will continue to be the
case.

crowd in order. There was such a
rush for bargains that, in many
places, the situation quickly changed
to violent disorder in which many
innocent women and children were
either trampled upon or received
painful handling by the mobs.
In the case of food, there was
little to be done but to hand the
ready customers the product for
which they asked. Canned meats
could be handed out without much
trouble. Wine. which is no luxury
in Italy, was sold at a considerable
reduction, one dollar TASKS going in
many cases for Is cents. Wine could
easily be handled and sold. So
could vegetables and fruits and the
usual table products.
But, when it came to the distri-
button of clothing and shoes, the
real trouble began. While the
clothing establishments did not re-
ceive as much of a rush as the shoe
establishments they we're crowded
enough and the scramble for proper
sizes and fittings was a veritable
catch-as-catch-can. The attempts of
the statesmen and saleswomen of
the shops to serve patrons was a
failure, and they contented them
selces merely with receiving the
small cash payments that were made
by the bargain hunters.

PERSH|NG UR GES
THAT DEAD Be
LEFT ABROAD
OUR WARRIOR READ MAY REST
WHERE THEY
FOUGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-The
following message of General PERISH
ing has been communicated by the
war department to Colonel Smith,
recruiting officer for the San Fran
cisco recruiting district for publ
cation:
Il believe it inadvisable to re-
turn dead from England before
definite decision to entire question
and particularly before final action
as to dead inferred in France. I
have given the entire question of
our dead much thought and my
opinion is that this course would
be fully appreciated by our allies
and that our government will be
given every facility in identifying
and caring for the cemeteries al
ready established on the fields won
by our heroic dead. | believe that
could these soldiers speak for them
selves they would wish to be left
undisturbed in the place where,
with their comrades, they fought
their last fight. Those who rest in
England rave their lives in the
same cause and their remains rep
resent the same salvation as those
who lie in the battle fields.
The graves of our soldiers con-
%stitute. if they are allowed to re-
main, a perpetual reminder to Il
allies of the liberty and ideals upon
which the greatness of America
rests. | think the sentiments above
outlined are held by many who
have given this subject thought.
These sentiments should appeal to
the relatives and friends. | recon-
mend that none of our dead be re-
moved from Europe unless their
nearest relatives and friends 80 de-
mand after a full understanding of
all the sentimental reasons against
such removal, and further recon-
mend that immediate steps be taken
for permanently. improving and

MIX OIL LAW Hello TO
ILLEGALLY EXCEPT OIL

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 9.-The
mining law of 1884 is unconstitu-
tional and illegally excerpts hydro
carbonates in the soil and subsoil
from the national domain, according
to a letter from Jose Vasquez
Schiaffino, chief of the petroleum
section of the department of in
dustry and commerce, in Ell Uni
versal. Protest by foreign oil in
terests against alleged contxsca-
tory oil DEGREES is based on rights
acquired under this law.
In framing the oil law initiative,
sent by President Carranza to con-
gress last November for developing
Article 81 of the constitution. Mr..
Schiaffino said, his department was
impelled by the highest motives and
sought to protect vested interests
and Investments. He asserted that
the reading of the transitory pro-
visions of this initiative would
show that, in regard to vested in
terests created by the protection of
former laws, only a simple tax was
imposed.
With regard to the mining law of
1884, his statement said: This de-
partment has not interpreted ca
priciously in a thousand different
ways Article 81; but in only one
way, the revindication of the do
minion of the nation over the hydro
carbonates of the soil and subsoil
and its incorporation into the mining
regime which always has been in
force in Mexico since the time of
the Spanish domination, and from
which it was illegally excepted by
