must be distribution of highways

divisions. Tn our own councils we
have repeatedly discussed the prop
ositiou that there should be no
mailer unit than the county which
would mean county roads then

SENATOR POINDEXTER
CRIITCIZES MEXICAN POLICY

New York, Dec. 1.--U. S. Senator
Miles Poindexter recently issued
statement in New York City criticiz-
ing our Mexican policy. The Senator
said in part:
There is a general feeling in the
part of the country l come from and
other parts which I have visited that
the Mexican situation has been trifled
with by the Administration in Wash
ington and allowed to become unnec-
essarily acute and complicated
through weakness and vaccillation
Judging from the situation today,
which could easily have been avoided,
the expenditure OF men and money
involved in our several military ex-
petitions into Mexico during the
present Administration has been to
NO purpose, because they have invar-
iably been withdrawn before they
have accomplished the purpose for
which they were sent. incidentally,
this futile policy has brought the
United States into disrepute not only
with the Mexicans, but with the peo-
pies OF other foreign countries, where,
as a result, our prestige as nation
has been seriously impaired.

and of the work being done for the
eradication Of the disease. The re-
port reads in part as follows:
THE examinations for hookworm
disease made among United States
soldiers confirmed in a striking way
the boards experience Of the last few
years, and demonstrated that even
light hookworm infections are OF
great Importance. Judged by the
Binet-Simon and other tests, many
full-grown soldiers who barbored
comparatively few hookworms had
the mentality of persons only - years
of age. The mentality Of 10000
white rlen at Camp Travis
who barl;ored the disease was about
SO per cent below normal. Negroes
were infected quite as frequently as
whites, but they appeared to be rela-
tively immune to the serious effects

Then there are those fascinating
antique banjo shaped clocks, which
are large and small, and are decorative
in piquant way. The small design on
the glass over the pendulum is very
picturesque.
Then, of course. for mIady there comes
the petite boudoir clock. 1t must be
small, of gold. ivory or mahogany frame,
and look at home in its effeminate sur
roundings. These smart timepieces are
shown in gold frames. with the works
showing behind the glass. Many times
the case is surrounded by diamonds or
other precious jewels, and the cases
ere elaborGtely decorated If it chances
to be ivory, some French artist may
have put jolly little bow of blue here
and a petal from fading rose there.
