FACTS ON MEXICAN OUTRAGES AGAINST
 AMERICANS SOUGHT
Foreign Relations Commit tee to Collect All Informa- tion onActs of Mexicans
 Against Americans
Bv Associated Pres,

Washington, August S.-Blanket au- thority to bring out all facts about Mexican outrages on Americans and American property, and to formulate remedial programme, was given to the foreign relations committee today by the Senate.
 Without debate and by unanimous vote a resolution diret<ng the inquiry was adopted after its provisions had been stiffened in committee so as to make subject to investigation "any and all acts of the governments of Mexico and its citizens in derogation of the rights Of the United States or of it's citizens"
 Later Charmain Lodge named a sub committee headed by Senator Fall re- publican, New Mexico, who has been one of the bitterest opponents of Pres ident Wilson's Mexican policy, to do the actual work of examining witnesses and collecting informati>1. The sub committee will begin it's task within few days though it probably will deal only with preliminary features until the peace treaty is out of the way.
 The provision authorizing the com mittee also to recommend what meas ures should be taken to prevent further outra,ges was added just before adop- tlon at the suggestion of Senator As- hurst, democrat, Arizona. Under this clause it is expected definite Mexican policy will be formulated and submitted as a recommendation to the admins tration.
 Senator Fall made it clear tonight that his subcommittee would take full advantage of the broad authorization conferred and would not be sparing of time or resources in it's attempt to uncover the whole story of Mexican infringement on American rights dur ing recent years. v
 It is thought likely that the work of the subcommittee will take it to the Mexican border to investigate cond tions there, and may bring before it some or the high officials of the Am erican government Besides Senator Fall, the members are Senators Ban degee, repub lican, Connecticut anl Smith, democrat Arizona.
 The resolution authorizing the in quiry was introduced by Senator King, democrat Utah. The original plan of republican leaders was to have an in- vestiga ton committee composed of both Senate and House mem bers, but joint resolution for that purpose was blocked in the House.

Love Affairs of a Lonely Woman
By MARY HALT

on the cost of this simple refreshment. She rejoiced, however. that through her work she might be able to aid the two friends in a speedy sale of the travel Fook. and determined that when she could she would return the hospitality of the big-hearted Holladay.
 The walk to the house was shorter than she had anticipated, and she bade good night to the two friends. As she turned into the hallway of the boarding house, Reginald Mordaunt called hastily to her, Until tomorrow and the first visit to the South Sea Islands, pleasant dreams!"
 She closed the door softly, waving her hand and smiling at the two on the pave ment outside. She hoped to slip the stairs unnoticed by Mrs. Selden. Despite the momentous meeting, the new task and what it all might lead to, Jane was sur prised to note in her little clock in her bedroom that it was not yet 10 clock.

She was home earlier than she had thought But she had not escaped the observation of Mrs. Selden, whose gimet eyes had peered through a slyly opened door as she passed up the stairs.
 Jane looked at her face in the mirror. She was surprised 10 see a new lock of reassurance in the reflection and she smiled.
 ..It is the thought of New York, along the line which I have always dreamed of doing" Jane told herself as she re- moved her new hat, and began unlock ing the collar of the pretty dress. Now, | I will have chance to pay back MT. Mortimer in a couple of weeks. and then I will know that I own these clothes with my own earnings I will breathe free once more and may call my ambitions my own"
 She was relieved to be back in the tiny room, and indeed rather glad that she had not accepted Holladay's suggestion to room uptown with the friend of his sister Their acquaintanceship during the stenography and typing of the travel book would be a purely business matter and lane determined to keep 1t such in every circumstance.
 Already she had made up her mind that when Holiday telephoned her al the office at o'clock the next day tan hour when Mortimer and the rest would have
  tation. partake of her meal alone, and let the writer escort her to Mordaunt studio afterward for the serious work or the evening.
 lust as she was thanking providence for the fortuitous turn affairs had taken, and as her dress was slipping from her shapely white shoulders, Jane was startled by soft knocking on the door Drawing the dress up and across her reck. with lightning-iike motion, she sprank toward the door and threw the holt into place. just as she saw the knoo turning.
 Let me in, Jane" came low voice Let me in. I want to talk to you: Her heart seemed paralyzed at this new and unbelievable terror. Who could know

 Jane came to sudden realization that time was fleeting, during the pleasant three-cornered conver< ltion on the Astor rcof, and she almost timdly reminded Dick Holladay of the necessity of return ing to her boarding house.
 You must give me your office address this time pleaded Holladay. We will all take dinner in Reggie's neighborhood; he has his studio up on Fifty-seventh street, far from the ogres and man-eating Bo- hemians of Greenwich village If you don't mind I will telephone you around o'clock and learn where to meet you"
 Jane gave him the address and tele- phone of H. Montague Mortimers brok- craze office, and lest they should have a mishap and miss each other, Holladay gave her his new address barely block away from Mrs. Seldens boarding house.
 You see we are neighbors after all If you were to room with my sisters friend, Mrs. Guthrie, it would take you far up-, town and would not be near as handy. | have a nice little apartment with friend of mine, and we have no vicious old shrews finding fault with us; our own en- trance with our names on the door, and a private bell to ring. The only way bill collectors can get into our place is by ringing the bell in the code we use-three times three and then one long ring. It's something like a college cheer, but that's how we know our friends and it's the only signal we answer, so as not to be bothered by agents who want to sell us dictionaries and the poems of Carrie Ma tion and other classics on the installment plan"
 Now, I must be going, or I may have another scene with Mrs. Selden,' said Jane could have eaten for several days CT and paid the check. Jane fairly shud- dered when she saw the amount of it, as she had not realized the heights to which ice cream and lemonade costs may as- cend on the top of New York hotel.
 There was actually a guilty feeling In her mind as she realized that Holladay was undoubtedly cramped for money just now. according to his own statement Jane ciuld have eaten for several days

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

As long as man has as many as
 nine hairs left on top of his head he
 keeps on hoping that he will never
 get bald.
 A woman hates to bring any money
 home with her when she is downtown
 shopping. If she can't find anything
 also to spend 1t on she'll buy some-
 thing for her husband. The betting is. that if a lot of hus-
 bands were today to meet for the first time the girls that are now their wives said husbands would decline to be in- troduced
 Almost any wife can tell you that her husband is such helpless mutt that if he ever gets to heaven he will expect her to help him on with his wings ev cry morning.
 After a man follows his own advice for few hours he begins to realize
 why other men do not pay any atten- tion to what he says. We know a man who saves every | nickel and who explains his stinginess
 by stating that he is interested in the preservation of the puffalo. The knee-length skirts expose lot of family skeletons that might just as well have been kept under cover. | Do not be ashamed to admit that you fQOnt Know everything. The pest spoilers in the world are men who keep well-thumbed dictionaries on their desks.

 1 Many a leader of men has wife who tells him where he gets off when he is around the house. 1 The female end of the sketch is all ways reciting a lot of things that she 1 would do if she were a man, and the 1 male end of the sketch Is always re- | citing lot of things that he wouldn t l do if he were a woman. 1 Maybe married man would behave l himself and go to church oftener if you could get him to believe that the assistant devils in he'll are women in greasy komonos who nag day and | night.

W 'fT 'f' People Responding To Joint Appeal

THE joint drive for relief funds
 S for the starving Christians of the Bible lands and various charities here at home starts off well. The con- tributions from individuals reported yesterday made good total and when the large corporations are heard from the goal will seem close. Jefferson county is organized for Ian over the top achievement and there
 should be no doubt about the result. Excellent team work is being done and today's reports should be liberal fnd cheering.
 People throughout the state are Iaroused, and the fact that at least two counties have already reached their quotas for the relief of the Ar
 menians and Syrians is as significant
 as it is heartening.

nations, but the British people have more confidence in it than the French. That our two great allies are com mitted to this plan and are willing to give it fair trial is largely due to
 President Wilson. By his able leader ship and his addresses in England,
 France and Italy he shaped public sen timent. Had he elected to remain in Washington it isn't likely that the
 league of nations would ever have been anything more than an altruistic dream.

.x * < Alabama Highway Engineer in Demand

01T1HE good roads movement in these
 O recent years has developed a val uable specialist in the construction field, known as the highway engineer. Nearly every state has now a compe- tent engineer in charge of road and bridge work.
 In W. s. Keller our state highway commission has an engineer of large !experience and exceptional ability. He not only understands every phase of road building, but he has the faculty of discussing his subject on paper with convincing appeal.
 MT. Keller's achievement in Ala bama has won for him a high place in the profession and the illuminat- ing addresses he has delivered at va ,rious good roads conventions has gained for him a national reputation. Only the other day he was invited to read a paper on "Sand Clay Roads in Alabama" before the annual meeting of the "Short Course in Highway En- |gineering," to be held at Battle Creek, Mich, February 26, under the au- spices of the University of Michigan.
 Because of his pressing duties in Alabama MT. Keller was forced to de- cline. It is safe to say that this state has the foremost highway engineer in the south, and that his construc- tive work is widely recognized is something to be proud of. In time Alabama will lead in good roads and MT. Keller's progressive ideas will ac- count, in great measure, for the per |manence and satisfying character of Ifho road svstem
