MEXICO MAKES
 EFFORT TO BUY
 PAPER SUPPORT
STATE DEPARTMENT IS INFORM. ED MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS ATTEMPTING PURCHASE SUP. PORT OF AMERICAN NEWSPA. PIERS THRUOUT COUNTRY.

WASHINGTON, July -(R)-The attention of the state department has been called to the many recent at- tempts of the Mexican government to purchase the support of several American newspapers. The reports given the department state the Mexi. cans wish the newspaper space in defense of that country's policy to- ward American oil operators.
 According to the information on file with the state department the Mexican government is making deter mined attempts to inaugurate a cam- paign of propaganda in support of it's oil policy. The reports state that. so far, that government has been un- able to find single American paper which will sell it space or is willing to barter it's editorial columns.
 An investigation into these report ed attempts on the part of the Mexi- cans will probably be made by agents of the state department and if found true, the Mexican government will be officially notified to cease its en- deavors in this direction.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-(P)-The American destroyer Bancroft estab- lished contact with the British dirig- ible R-34 at midnight and is now trailing the large balloon across the Gulf of Maine. The dirigible is en- deavoring to make Boston before the fuel runs entirely out.
 All day and up until late this even- ing, wireless messages were received from the R-34, urging that the de- stroyers be hurried to her aid as the fuel supply was dangerously low. The dirigible is also short of hydrogen gas, the chemical used to initiate the immense gas bag. It is believed that the balloonists are having trouble with their wireless apparatus as their signals are very indistinct.
 The navy department has ordered all the available vessels at Boston. out to aid the destroyers in assisting the R-34 to arrive in port. Several sub-chasers and scouts departed inn mediately for the supposed location of the dirigible and will accompany the big balloon to a safe landing place.

CARRY OUT PLANS OF ENGIN- EERlNG COMMISSION TO FINISH THE RAILROAD WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
Secretary Lane
 Not Discouraged
WILL ENDEAVOR OBTAIN LEGIS LAYTON AUTHORIZING AN IN CREASE OF ABOUT SIXTEEN MILLION IN ORIGINAL ESTI MATED COST.

SEATTLE, July 5.-P)-A special despatch from Washington to the Post-Intelligencer says Secretary Lane and the officials of the Alas. kan Engineering commission are not discouraged by the failure of congress to appropriate twelve million dollars for the Alaska railroad. Ten million dollars was struck out of the sundry civil bill by the senate and house con. ferees, leaving approximately two million for the use of the road this season. This is in addition to an emergency appropriation of something over two million dollars requested by Secretary Lane; the two items fin ishing the original thirty-five million dollar estimate.
 A new campaign is now under way to insure the completion of the rail road by 1921. The interior depart ment is planning to endeavor to ob- tain special legislation authorizing an increase in the original cost of the road by approximately sixteen million dollars. This additional amount will finish the project in every detail. Secretary Lane believes the chances are favorable for the passage of such a bill and strong efforts will be made to have it introduced at this session of congress.

distributing Companies Present Solu-
ton to the p. U. C.
The gas distributing companies of
Kansas City. Kan. and of Lawrence
presented a new gas rate plan to the
public utilities commission at its meet
ing Thursday. The new gas rate plan
is a combination of the proposed
three way plan" and the present 80
cent rate. The proposal OF the rate
was made by ]. w. Dana on behalf of
the distributing companies of the two
cities
The new gas rate plan as proposed
has the following rates:
A demand charge of 90 cents a
month for maximum flow of 80 Gu
bic feet of gas per hour. This demand
charge ranges from the so cents
charge to a maximum demand charge
of $3.50 a month where the flow is
AIS feet an hour. To this demand
charge is to be added charge of so
cents a thousand feet for the first
three thousand feet of gas and 10 cents
thousand for each thousand feet aft
er the first 5000 feet.
Under the-Proposed new rate the
distributing companies would pay the
Kansas Natural 80 cents a thousand
feet for all gas delivered at the city
gates as against 2S cents at present.
The plan also provides that whenever
the Kansas Natural is able to guaran-
tee enough gas for heating purposes
the distributing companies will reduce
the rate to the consumer to so cents a

THE HOUSEHOLD
velvet for Children.
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUsE

Could the figure of Little Lord
Fauntleroy ever have become immor-
talized in anything but that black
velvet suit of his? Would he, had his
mother had the conviction that many
mothers have now that any velvet is
unwholesome and black unsuitable for
children-could he have gained the
position among children of fiction that
he has? Suppose he had been dressed
quite sensibly in a navy blue suit with
a sailor collar, suppose he had worn
brown kindergarten cloth, or galatea,
or serge or corduroy, in short, any
thing but velvet-who really has al
most as much to do with 1t as Frances
Hodgson Burnett herself-could Regi-
Maid Birch made of him the quaint
little figure that has endeared him to
us for so long?
Well, perhaps the little lord was
different from some children of today.
And doubtless for your red FLOODED
young lion of a boy, velvet would be
out of the question. Surely you would
have a hard time getting by the scien-
tifically trained nursery governess
with anything like that these days,
for it is one of the cardinal doctrines
of their creed of those who are
versed on child hygiene these days,
that their clothes should be washable
and durable and non-dust gathering
And velvet is none of these.
However, Notwithstanding never

dren has established itself in the shop
windows and from all you can see it
is finding an enthusiastic response in
the women.
