Yet, the state continues TO derive

of legislative leaders and the public

operators.
In the preceding years coal pro-

immense financial advantage of the

Under this compromise the mining

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO woRNNe JOURNAL
Santa Fe, July 3.-While the state
board of historical service has up
ward of 5000 names of men from
New Mexico who served in military
and naval branches during the war,
the federal government now aCcredltS
New Mexico with 2,439 men in the
army or one-third of 1Jper cent of
the entire army. The following rank
below New Mexico in the per cent of
the army they furnished: Wyoming,
Arizona, Vermont Delaware, Hawaii
Nevada, Alaska and Philippines, while
the other state sank above, New Mex
leo leading with 9.i9 per cent, the
three states of New York Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois furnishing practically
one-quarter of all the men. New
Mexico ranks high in the per cent of
drafted men which passed the physi-
cal examinations, being grouped with
the highest class in which 70 to 50
per cent were found fit while Arizona,
California, colorado, Washington,
Michigan, New York, Vermont. Maine
New Hampshire, Massachusetts and
Rhode Island were in the lowest class
in which only so to SO per cent
passed.
Rather astounding are the official
statistics on venereal diseases just
made public, which show that the to-
tai admission rate for venereal dissas-
es per 900 men in five national army
camps was 1872, while for the entire
army it was 1869, as against 1893
for the navy, 1893 for the Japanese
navy, 1928 for the British navy, lO4
for the British army, 67S spanish
army, 63.2 Germany navy, COL Rus
sian army, Austrian army 54.2, Jap
anese army 376 Belgian army 26.2
Dutch army PIG Prussian army 1871,
Bavaran army 1872. However 80 per
cent of the American army cases are
reported to have been brought into
camp from civilian life In fact, of
49, 900 cases reported between March
and November ), 1918, nearly So per
cent had contracted the disease before
enlistment. It has been estimated that
100000 cases have been treated in
the United States army and that five
out of every six Of these cases came
into the army afflicted with the dis
ease.
The seriousness of this is apparent
when it is emphasized that 90 per cent
of all cases of lOcomotOr ataXia are
due to this cause, and that it is a pro-
life cause of apoploXy, s0ftoning of
the brain, insanity, diseases of the
heart, blood vessels and other vital
organs and also of tuberculosis. In adj
dition to it, 15,00O cases of blindness
in the United States are ascribed to
it and so per cent Of operations which
women undergo for inflammatory dis
eases are due to this cause.

It's under a lavender foXglove fiow'r
That leans from the garden edge:
It's where in the early springtime
hour
The white comes out on the
hedge!
It's close by the path I daily tread;
It's close by the trail he waits,
This hermit old with the years long
fled
There back of the garden
gates!
Oh, meath the SHOWS Of the winter
long
He sleeps in the earth's warm
heart
Till wakened there by the bluebird's
song
Across the mead and the mart,
He sits at the door of his cavern
deep
And swells his bagpipe throat;
And watches while the night-worlds
sleep
Inc luluSS Ludt Ly anu uOdt!
He's brown and beaded, hunched
and old;
But he loves my garden well!
And I'd miss him there as I'd miss
the gold
In the heart Of each fair blue
bell!
He's a friend to the folk that ira
vel and trade
And circle the world around;
He's friend, a friend, though he's
humbly made
OF the shards Of sinew and
sound!

Ho.u Strong Are You?

How strong are you? I suppose
every real boy has heard some fell
low say: IF yer strong, pick up
this" Well, here's another kind
of strength and you'll find fun test
ing yourself for it. 1t is generally
called strength of character.
Try to sit perfectly still in a
cramped position for five minutes
and when you've tried it you'll SYM
pathize with spies who had all
kinds Of situations to put up with.
Take piece of pie and put in in
front of you and see if you can
keep from eating it for five min
utes. Do not read or think of any
thing but the pie during the five
minutes.
While reading very interesting
book, close it and do something
else.
Walk right past a soda store with
the money jingling in your pocket.
Finish a thing when you start it.
All of these tests are of character
or will power.
Strength of mind counts a lot
these days. Let's all try to cuti-
vate it. Try to get strength SO
you'll be able to resist wrong and
be leader.

Only A Cloud.

Jane sat curled up in the big
window seat looking at a bright
gold sunset which had just appear
ed through a rift in a dark wintry
sky. Her little body had a dis,
consulate droop and a worried
frown had chased away her usual
merry smile.
Whatever is the matter" said
her mother, coming into the room
suddenly. Such a beautiful eve
ming and such a sad looking little
girl that is not harmonious
l help?"
"Oh mother I'm remembering
all the mean horrid things Elsie
said this afternoon, and it makes
me 80 unhappy"
was Elsie unkind, dear? You
usually are such happy little friends
what seemed to be the trouble?"
That's just it. Elsie and l have
never had a quarrel before, and l
just keep remembering every cross,
horrid word she said"
Well" said the mother, shak-
ing her head. why do you keep
thinking about all the horrid
things?"
I'm trying to understand her
and see if l can learn whatever
made her so mean"
"My DEAR" smiled the mother,
pointing to the soft pastel colors
of the fading sunset which still
showed family between the clouds,
ut didn't look, while ago, as if
there was any pretty sky anywhere
because we couldn't see it-at
night there doesn't seem to be any
sun because something. appears to
be between us and the light, but
the sun is shining all the time and
the pretty sky is always behind the
dark clouds. Elsie is the same
dear little girl you always knew,
and the cross words were just the
dark clouds hiding the real little
friend-if you will remember that
the bad temper isn't any part of
your little playmate, you'll stop
feeling SO sorry and sad, and the
ugly words won't have any power
to hurt you because you'll know
she did not say them. Then soon
your smiles and your loving trust
will bring you back the real little
Elsie, who was friendly all the
time Ruth Wardwell, in The

When their stay In London was
over the airplane whisked the child
rem over to Liverpool, the great
English seaport where thousands
upon thousands of American SOL
diers were landed during the war.
and where hundreds Of ships each
year in peace time unload goods
sent to England from America and
other countries. There were miles
and miles of docks and mountains
Of goods. Jack and Jane wondered
how everything was handled with
out all being mixed up and sent
to the wrong place.
There were steamers from all
parts 'of the world lying along the
docks, too. Captain Brave pointed
out boats that had come from Ans
tralia. South America, Canada, Ita-
ly and other places.
From here the plane carried them
to Wales.
wales is great mining country,
where millions of tons of coal for
use in England, are cut out Of the
ground each year." said Captain
Brave. "If you little folk care any
thing about it we can go into one Of
the mines"
Jack and Jane said they would
like to go-"If you and Ladydear
go with u.s." added Jane.
So landing at one of the great
mines, Captain Brave arranged with
the superintendent to allow them
to go down into one of the mines.
Not very many children have
been in a mine so I'll tell you what
happened to Jane and Jack.
First of all caps were fitted to
their heads and little oil lamps
were fastened to the caps.
"These are to furnish the light
when we get far into the mines"
said the man sent along to guide
them.
Next, everybody climbed into a
real small elevator which lowered
them what seemed miles down into
the ground. Tiny electric lights
were strung along the side of the
hole down which they fairly drop
ped. Jack was afraid they would
land on the bottom with horrible
thumb. But they didn't.
Finally the little elevator stopped
and all stepped out into wide pas
sageway.
Along the passageway ran tiny
railroad track. A train of dumpy
little cars filled with coal went past
them as they walked along the pas
sage. A blinky-eyed donkey pulled
the train. A young fellow, covered
with coal dust until he looked like
a negro, was driving the donkey
and riding on the first car.
The guide told the children and
their friends that this coal was
hauled from rooms several hundred
