soldiers could be drafted for the
quelling of rebellions in other coun-
tries. Senator Swanson conclusively
disproved this assertion by saying:
"It should be noted that this guar
antee of territorial integrity and po-
litical independence is limited to
those cases where they are threaten
ed or attacked by external aggres-
sion, and does not apply to revolu-
ton within a nation. A nations in
ternal affairs are left undisturbed.
A nation can reform, modify, or
change its existing government ac-
cording to the wishes of the people
If necessary to accomplish these pur.
poses, force can be used. A nation
may separate and divide into several
units, as her people may determine
provided no external force is ap
Piled"
The maintenance of the Monroe
Doctrine by the United States wher
it was comparatively weak natior
showed, the Senator said, that tht
League of Nations could usually
enforce its DEGREES without resort tt
arms, for RECKLESS, indeed, would b'
that nation which would issue a chal
lenge of defiance to so powerful
League and embark upon the ven
turesome enterprise of conquest
As the council must unanimousl!
decide the matter of larger nations
acting as mandatories for weake'
members of the League, there wa
no foundation for the hysterica
claims that the United States troop
must patrol various out-of-the-wa.
and barbarous countries, he said.

"Dip That Chickw

"Dip that chickw 1t isn't done
just for the sake of making rhyme
for "dip that tick" either. Dipping
chickens is likely to become more
general than dipping cattle, because
the chicken louise is more widely
distributed insect than the cattle
tick. The "dip" consists of l ounce
of sodium fluoride to the gallon OF
water, which should be at temper
ature of 70 to 85 degrees. The dip
ping should be done on clear, warm
day-never on cold day. The old
way of getting rid of chicken lice
was by busting with dry sodium
fluoride. It was effective, but in the
case of large flocks it was slow and
wasteful, great deal of the busting
material being inevitably lost. Elk.

MINING IN NEW MEXICO
IN 1918 AND 1919

During the year 1918 mines ir
New Mexico produced .$6S1,O00 ir
gold, $4,000 ounces Of silver, g..
235,0OO pounds of lead, 98,3O0,00C
pounds of copper, and 24,1O0,00O
pounds of zinc. The statistics for
1919 will show a considerable de-
crease in the output of all metals ex-
cept gold. The Chino Copper Co.,
which in 1918 produced 79,34O,372
pounds of copper and $39,732 in
gold and silver, produced only H.
512,133 pounds of copper during the
first quarter of 1919, owing to cur
tailment of operations. This COM
pany hopes to be able to continue
operations at so per cent capacity.
The Burro Mountain Branch of the
Phelps Dodge Co. which in 1918 pro-
duced 53,146 tons of concentrate
averaging 14.9 per cent copper, has
been so seriously affected by the
drop in the price of copper that it
has suspended operations. The San
ia Fe Gold G. Copper Co. has also
ceased operations at San Pedro.
During the first five months of
1919 the IS Mining Co., at Lords
burg, shipped a quantity of siliceous
copper-silver-gold ore almost equal
to that shipped by it during the en-
tire year 1918. Development at
Mogollon may maintain an output of
silver equal to that of 1918, when
the Fancy mill was operated only S
months. The combined gold districts
of Nogal, Whiteoaks, and Baldy
have so far produced ore at an in
creased rate.
The decreased shipments of lead
and lead-zinc ores from Magdalena
and the discontinuance of the ship
ments of lead from the Organ
district will greatly re-
duce the output of lead from the
State.
The suspension of operations at
Pinos Altos and the curtailment of
operations at Hanover and Kelly will
naturally result in greatly de-
creased output Of zinc.

THE GREAT WAR
WAS COSTLY


graphically told in a "Statistica
Summary of the War With Ger
many" just from the press and writ
ten by Col. Leonard P. Ayres, Chief
of the Statistics Branch of the Gen
Ieral Staff. The summary is print
led document of $50 pages and is q
complete statistical review of Amer.
ica's participation in the greatest
war in history. 1t is regarded as a
powerful argument for the League
of nations as deterrent of future
conflicts.
The wars cost to America was
$21, ,S50,O00,O00, or approximately
81, 100000 an hour. Of the total,
s13,93O,OO0,OOO went for army ex-
penses.
The country's total armed force
when the armistice was signed was
100000 men, of whom four million
were in the army, the remainder be-
ing in the navy, marine corps and
other branches.
The number of men sent overseas
was 2,086,000, of whom 100000
were actually engaged at the front.
The number of Americans engaged
in the Meuse-Argonne battle, the
greatest operation in which Ameri-
can troops participated, was 1,2OO,-
900. American casualties in this
engagement number 100000 officers
and men. Battle deaths approximat-
ed $4,000, wounded, 100000, and
deaths from disease 56,991 up to
April 80, 1919.
Some notable achievements were
accomplished by those charged with
the duty of waging the war. Not
the least of these was the fact that
despite the U-boat peril, 100000
men were transported overseas in
one month. The speed with which
the army is being returned is indi-
Gated by the fact that $4,000 were
brought home in one month.
Supplies shipped from the United
States to France amounted to T.
100000 tons in the nineteen months
of this country's participation in the
war.
The number of men registered for
military service under the Selective
Service Act was 24,234,021, of whom
2,810,296 were inducted into service.
The largest number inducted in any
month was 100000.
While the British sent more men
to France during the first year OF
their participation in the war than
the United States did, it took them
three years to attain strength of
two million men in France, while the
United States accomplished this in
one-half that time.
Approximately 100000 commits
stoned officers were required for the
army, the report shows, and of these
less than 5000 were in the Federal
service at the wars outbreak. Of
these, 5791 were regulars and the re-
mainder National Guard officers.
The remainder had to come from
civil life, and most of them were
trained at the Officers Training
Camps. Of every six officers in the
army, one had had previous training
in the regular army, National Guard
or in the ranks; three received their
training at the Officers Training
Camps, and the other two came di-
rect from civil life with little or no
training.
The average soldier who went to
France had six months of training
at home and two months of intensive
training after arriving in France.

WILL PASS LAWS TO
 STOP PR0FITEERING

Little Rock, Sept. 12.-'if there IS any possibility of passing a law to stop profteering in this state, it must be done. if it is within my power to have it done"
 This was declaration made Thurs day afternoon by Gov. Brough, before a conference of Arkansas merchants in the executive reception hall at the state capitol.
 q shall include the subject of pro- fiteering in my call for the extra ses- sion of the legislature. l am fully determined upon that, even if l stand alone on the subject, and if thereby l should forfeit any hope of political preferment I may have. To disabuse your minds, I may say that may not have any political ambitions, but I was never more determined on any thing in my life than to stop the profteering that affects 90 per cent of our people who are in the con- sumers' class.
 q am not committed to any par ticplar measure" he continued, "nor will I recommend any particular law to the general assembly. That must be worked out by the lawmakers. But tentative acts are already being drawn for their consideration. All that we want to do is to reach the profteer, without injuring any legiti- mate business. It is recognized that the merchant is entitled to fair mar gin of profit, but he should be res tricted to that"

WOULD ABOLISH JAILS
 AND PENAL INSTITUTIONS

There is new organization being formed in Little Rock that proposes to do some radical revolutionizing in society. Its primary purpose is to abolish all jails and penal institutions, discharge police forces, and place all criminals on probation. When laws are violated, only moral suasion is to be employed, and the offenders are to be advised, very kindly, sternly, or so sternly, of course-that they must do so no more on penalty of a severe scolding, or, as last resort, a very harsh slap on the wrist. To be sure, murder, and stealing, and forgery, and bootlegging, and Nbood- ling, and all such naughty things are to be discouraged. But to incarcerate folks in jail, and make lem wear stripes, or to punish them in any of the ways that violators of the law are usually made to suffer for their misdeeds is inhuman and brutal and not to be countenanced in humani- tarian community.

ASKS SHIPPERS TO LOAD
 ALL CARS TO CAPACITY

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-The gover- nor has issued a proclamation to the citizens of Arkansas, particularly the shippers, calling upon them to CO., operate with the railroads, the rail
 road administration, sby exerting every effort to see that cars do not go out lightly loaded, but that the
 maximum carrying capacity be utii- ized in every instance"
 The U. s. railroad administration
 has just given an order providing for additional cars sufficient to move 1 ,827 ,00O tons of road material in Ar
 kansas before Jan. l, 1920, which means that the state will be furnished
 with approximately 295 cars daily for
 the remainder of the season. The ad-
 ministration has also approved re- duction in all rail rates amounting to about ten per cent, in recognition of
 the competition between water and rail rates in connection with the Mis- sissippi river.
 sI am reliably informed by the
 railroad authorities" says the gover- nor, "that in many instances the freight cars in Arkansas are loaded
 only to 50 or 75 per cent capacity, and that unless these cars are loaded
 to their maximum carrying capacity
 the shippers of Arkansas and the
 State of Arkansas will suffer irrepar-
 able loss at this time. Real American
 grasp of serious situation such a
 grasp as was exhibited during the
 war, will solve vexing problem and minimize trouble whose consequence
 might be serious and far-reaching,
 As governor of the state, 1 therefore
 appeal to the Arkansas shippers to cooperate with the railroad officials and the national railroad administra- tion in every way possible"

MILL OPERATORS IN LITTLE
 ROCK RETURNED TO WORK

Little Rock, Sept. 12.-Through a settlement reached on Thursday night the striking mill operators in Little Rock returned to work on Friday morning. The operators and con- tractors were successful in their fight for "open shop," though the carpen- ters and mill men were granted a slight increase in wages. The strike had been on for just month. There were eleven mills involved, with about 50 mill workers although about 400 carpenters were affected. Prac- tically all building operations had been closed down during this time, as the carpenters would not use mill work from mills included in the strike.

60 through q series Of tests. Fabric
used in automobile tires, for in
stance, Is subjected 10 practically
every test known. 1t is screwed in
to a machine which pulls It slowly
apart. This way the manufacturer
tests the tensile strength Of the
product, seeing how much pressure
the fabric can stand before it breaks.
The threads of the fabric are
counted, the length of the fiber is
noted and each thread must show a
breaking strength of not less than
10 pounds for a single yarn.
Before the fabric is "frietioned"
and coated" it is dried by steam
heat and inspected for flaws and
thin spots by being rolled over
strong magnesia electric lights.
These lights are so strong that not
the tiniest weak spot in the material
can escape the eye of the inspector.
After having passed inspection,
fabric is "frictioned," or frictioned
and coated" In the fr!ctioning pro-
cess the fabric runs through between
mammoth rollers-the calender
which wipe into the fabric just as
much rubber as it will hold. When
impregnated and coat
ing is desired the fabric is taken to
another machine similar to the first,
where in the coating process a thin
layer of rubber is laid upon the sur
face under such a pressure that in
truth it becomes part of the stock
which the frictioning machines have
driven into the interstices of the
fabric.
The essential principle Of rubber
goods manufacture is bound up in
one process, viz, that of vulcanizing.
Briefly, the process OF vulcanizing
by Charles Goodyear
in 1839-provides that rubber mixed
with sulphur in varying quantities
and subjected to q suitable degree Of
heat and pressure, produces q de-
pendable material affected but
slightly by ordinary changes of tenn
perature aud overcoming almost en-
tirely the tendency of raw rubber TO
rot when exposed to light and air.
