Shrimps and Senators

One of the delights of bathing at low tide
is certain small animal that burrows in the
sand-we ,call them hardshen shrimps, but
our friend and fellow Fierceforester Tom
Farrell insists they are kind of snail.
Whatever they are, they are built something
like shrimp but with a hard and very
comely gray shell they are easily found as
the tide recedes, as they leave small dimple
in the sand where they have taken cover.
The game is to root them out and carry them
back to the Urchin, who stands at the edge
of the strand whatever that is). A small
pool having been prepared, you place the
shrimps in it and the Urchin greatly enjoys
seeing them scuttle backward and dig them
selves in, scooping with their hind legs and
pushing with their front limbs. 1t is enter
tanning also to put them on the harder sand
and see them try vaIiantly to stern into it.
They kick as resolutely as Senate trying
30 find hole in a peace treaty Cor Mack
Sennett lady in the front row. but with a
sense passing the sense of senator's, when
they find themselves stumped they sit still
and wait for something to happen. One
cannot resist the impression, watching them,
that they will be greatly relieved if nothing
happens.
The Urchin, having already been intro
duced to crabs. also calls the shrimps mice
little crabs Shrimp is word that presents
some difficulties to him, and his mind so far
only classifes the denizens of the sea into
fish and crabs. Later on, of course, he will
have to subdivide his classification to in
clude jellyfsh, ladies in one piece bathing
suits, and SO on.
1t is hard to keep the Urchin at the edge
of the strand while one brings back the
shrimps for him to watch. His delight is
SO great that he has a tendency to dash vio-
lently into the sea up to his knees. He is,
in very truth, sea -urchin.

Glendale Boy Highly Honored

Charles Betts of this city, will surely have some interesting experiences to relate when he comes home from the army. Charlie is a member of the company of 250 specially picked sol diers that comprises President Wilson's personal guard while attending the peace conference. Charlie joined the presidents party in France and accom- panied them to Paris. where he was kept on duty. He spent last week in the good old U. S. A. while President Wilson was home and left again for Europe, on tho George Washington, Tuesday night.
 The special honor in belonging to this picked body of men. aside from the chance to accompany the president, is the fact that these men are supposed to represent the best type of the army. They are picked for their good looks as well as their skill and soldierly qualities. Charles is the son of O. D. Betts for many years agent of the Santa F'e here and a nephew of A. A. Betts of the corporation commission.

gard to any legislati 70 assertion that the use is s'public."
 The vice in Senate Bill No. r in the above regard is that it permits the state highway commission to de- termine the necessity for use of prop erty as incidental to highway con- struction, buy and pay for it, and re- moves a constitutional protection in tended for the public as well as for the owner of such property, a protec- ton afforded when the constitution makes the question of public use involved in such matters, d judicial question.
 There is however, still another fea- ture of the proposed state highway department, of vital importance. That feature is where the full powers of control attempted to be vested in the commission are referred to. The act violates the rule that the Legislature cannot delegate it's powers of legisla- ton.
 "One of the settled maxims in con- stitutional law is that the power con- ferred upon the legislature to make laws cannot be delegated by that de- partment to any other body or depart mcnt. Where the sovereign power of the state has located the authority there it must remain. And by the con- stitutioral authority alone the saw : must be made until the constitution itself be changed. The power Of whose

 The legislature is required to act within 8 period of sixty days. If the two members of the commission are to be deemed a committee represent ing the legislative department to the end of carrying out the ideas of that body as to the highway policy of the state, my answer to that is that all power of the legislature over it's laws ceases when it adjourus sine die. (See Lengenberger V. Decker, 3l x. E. Rep 199.) When it attempts to act through a committee after adjournment, it transcends the powers of the legisla- tive department. The power to act by investigation, coupled with power to decide the Course of that action after such investigation. is a purely legislative function to be performed by the legislature in session. This phase of the matter is discussed in the case-Stockman V. Laddy, Ann Cases. 1916 E. 1052. Q29 Pac. 226.)

MEXICO HIT BY ''FLU'
Most Fatal Epidemic in History of Country. .'.' '4
shortage of Necessary Drugs One of Reasons for Heavy Death
 Rate.

Laredo, TeI.-According to reliable information brought here by arrivals from various portions of Mexico, the present epidemic of Spanish influenza In that country has been the most ia. tai epidemic in the history of Mexico, the death rate exceeding that caused by any previous epidemic of typhus, yellow fever or smallpox. The under takers of Mexico were caught in the influenza epidemic without practically any supply of collins or caskets on hand, and even the old custom of rent ing caskets for burial purposes only, after which the body is removed at the grave and placed in a pine box, had to be abandoned, as some of the wealthier class were buried in caskets that were formerly used for rental pur- poses only.
 In Mexico City 1t is estimated that at least 10000 cases of influenza were in that city the middle of October, many cases developing into pneumonia and causing several thousand deaths, these latter being mostly among the poor people who contracted the disease and were compelled to lie down on the dirt floors of their jackals and there contracted pneumonia and died. A big death rate slso. occurred among the better class, despite the care glV- en them. In Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Torreon, Tampico, Saltillo and Mon terey the number of cases of influenza were heavy, while the death rate was likewise heavy. In Vera Cruz. over one-third of those stricken with the in- fuenza are said to have succumbed to subsequent pneumonia. In many places the heavy death rate in Mexico was due to the shortage of aspirin, Quinine and other necessary drugs used In the cure of influenza.
