was made up to look like Judge Gary,

Another, called Lentrotski announced
that he was the "sole surviving mem

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Mexico's
reign of terror, which followed the Ma
dero revolution in 1910 and which has
continued to date, has cost 551 Ameri-
can lives, according to an indexed map
showing Americans murdered In Mex
leo and along the international Dor
der submitted to-day to the State De-
partment and the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions subcommittee investigating the
Mexican situation: The map showed
the location and the approximate date
of each killing. The most complete list
so far made public by the State De-
pertinent showing Americans killed in
Mexican disturbances gives only 251
murders.
The death Of Eugene Lack, at En-
Centre, Calf, November 10, 1919, after
he had been shot by Mexican police
man at Mexicali, just across the border
in Mexico, brought the death list up to
SOL. The death Of Lack was not shown
on the may or the accompanying tatbu-
lation.
In three Of the $50 cases listed on the
map the authorities cited reported the
punishment Of those charged with the
murder. For the murder of Mrs. An
derson, her daughter and an American
boy in Chihuahua on June %, 1911, the
murderers served six months in prison
and were then released. The Madero
authorities executed two Mexicans for
the murder of W. H. Waite, who was
killed at Ochotal. Vera Cruz, on April
4, 1912. A Huerta lieutenant and SER
geant were reported executed for the
killing of Frank Smith at Tampico on
January 20, 1914.
Eighteen Women and Children on List
Eighteen American women and chill
dren were on the death list shown on
the map, and thirteen American men
were listed as having been killed in
their efforts to protect women. In con-
nection with the deaths listed, eight
American women were outraged.
Bandits who shot down Mrs. Morten-
sen at Guadeloupe, chihuahua, in 1912,
attempted to ravish her ten-year-old
daughter. A neighbor who came to the
girls rescue was killed: After Villistas

blood while travelling under safe con-
duct from the Carranza government.
The Americans were going to reopen
the Gust mines on the guarantee of
Carranza officials that they would be
safe. The authorities refused to supply
a military escort, and the railroad
train upon which the mining men were
travelling was held by Villistas at
Santa ISABEL. The men were lined >up
beside the train, stripped of valuables
and clothing and shot down by volleys
Altogether the map listed forty-seven
American mining men who met death in
Mexico.
The map showed two attacks by
Carranza forces on American troops OF
the Pershing expedition, which were
supposedly cooperating with the Car

run down Villa.

Speed in Making Grenades.

The cor shop of an old British iron
foundry is cited as a revelation in
speed in turning out war work. Young
girls are producing cores there for
hand grenades at the rate of $50 an
hour, the cores, the making of which
takes 81 movements of the hand, be-
ing turned out in 16 seconds. The
foundry itself is old and by no means
convenient. but by a system of stand
ardization of the work and by encour
aging employees to take an intelligent
interest in their work, the output has
been actually trebled. Every 1000 feet
of floor space in the foundry now pro-
duces 6.5 tons of light castings a week,
working day shift only. 1t is the only
foundry in that particular town work
ing a 4S-hour week. Besides, the girls
and women, who form 60 per cent of
the employees, are allowed ten min
utes for lunch and ten minutes inter-
val in the afternoon.

GOLD SILVER
PRODUCTION
REDUCED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2. =
California led the gold producing
states in 1918 with 832,3S9 ounc-
es. valued at $17,2O7,OO0. Colo
RADIO ranked as second with 621,-
791 ounces.
The production of the United
States was $4,000 ounces, worth
$68,493,OOO.
Nevada was fourth in the silver
producing states, with 10,113,O00
ounces. The total for the United
States was 6~7,S79,000 ounces, val
ued at a dollar an ounce.
This is the smallest record since
1918, according to the joint pre-
liminary estimate of Director of the
Mint Baker and the geological sur
vey issued today.
Rapid mounting of the cost of
mining and refinement is assigned
as the cause of the decline, which
is shown by comparison with the
1917 production of $S3,75O,OOO
worth Of gold and ~71,740,000
ounces Of silver.
Texas is credited with having
produced five unce of gold, val
ued at 800.
Montana, with 1884, 600 ounc-
es, was the principal silver pro-
ducing state, while Utah gave 49,
439, 900 ounces and Idaho 1O,1SS.-
600.

Lovers Of Peace"

Senator Smith said in a Y. NJ. @. A.
address in Washington:
Germany must be crushed. Peace,
otherwise. will behold the world drill
ing and arming for another and more
terrible war. An incOnclusive peace
would make things worse instead Of
better.
"When a pacifist offers me his nos
trums, I tell him that his advice is
worse than the African kings.
"a missionary once visited an Afri-
can king. The king was well pleased
with the young man and ordered that
800 of the most beautiful maidens in
his kingdom be brought before him.
"When the ~maidens-a very fine lot
indeed-were gathered together, the
king presented them to the missionary.
""These 500 girls he said, are the
flower of my kingdom. Choose a wife
from among Them
"The missionary, very much embar-
raised. answered:
"'Oh, your majesty, if I took one,
think how jealous the other 400 would
be!

edied. Take all"

BLEND FAR FROM COMPLETE
Expert Finds Descendants OF First
American Families Little Affected

Through an extensive study of mem
bers of some of the oldest American
families, America as the melting pot
of the nations proves to be but a con-
venient expression for writer's and ora
tors-merely a picture drawn by those
who do not trouble themselves about
the precision of their figures of speech,
a myth without foundation of fact.
For four years DIR. Ales Hrdlicka, q
curator of the division of physical an
thropology of the United States Ma
tional museum, has had under way an
investigation Of the blending of the va
rious types of humanity in America,
which, though not yet fully completed,
has resulted in the inevitable conclu-
sion that the force of heredity is too
strong to be radically altered in a CEN
fury or two and that we must wait
centuries longer to find a type which
will justify the statement that Ameri-
ca is in reality a melting pot" Of the
nations. Doctor Hrdlicka finds that
even the first material that went into
