Diplomatic Relations.

hingtOn.-President Wilson was
requested in resolution introduced
on December 3 in the senate to sever
diplomatic relations with Mexico.
The resolution was offered by Sen
ator Fall of New York. who, as chair
man cf subcommittee investigating
the Mexican situation, declared evil
dence had been found which 'would
astound the world" 1t also asked
that the president withdraw recogni-
ton of the Carranza government.
Senator Fall boldly charged that the
Mexican ambassador, the consulate
generals in New York and San Fran
cisco, and the consulates along the
border, with the knowledge and con-
sent of President Carranza. had been
actively engaged in the spreading OF
Bolshevist propaganda in the United
States Evidence, it was said. would
be forthcoming to bear out the charge.

CARRIES WEALTH IN MOUTH
II Only That Part Of Its Anat-
omy Were Usabie.

A full-grown bowhead whale is
worth $4,000 merely for the whale
bone it carries in its mouth. This is
the species that furnishes the bulk of
the commercial supply Of whalebone,
which is Cow worth $50 pound. II
Is a denizen of Arctic seas.
The bowhead, like other whalebone
whales, has no teeth. Instead its jaws
are furnished with series of long,
tapering slabs of a horny substance
fringed with hair. OF these slabs,
which are the whalebone Of commerce
here are as many as 900.
The biggest of them are 10 to Il
feet long and they are inserted in the
gum Of the upper jaw. from which
they hang. They serve as a sieve to
strain out the whales food. Swim
ming along, it takes a huge mouthful
Of squids and other pelagic small fry.
Then the huge trap is closed and, the
slabs entering and fitting into grooves
In the lower jaw, the water is ex-
PEELED.
