the Bank of Alaska, and will show
stereopticOn pictures from photo
graphs taken by himself of Tibet, the
land of mystery"
The photographs were obtained I'M
der the greatest difficulty, as the
Tibetans imagined that the camera
contained evil spirits. The Tibetans
are very cruel. Men are cut to pieces
slowly. Women suspected of miscon-
duct have their noses and lips slit
and are afterward f1Ogged to death.
There is in Tibet a plant which flies.
1t resembles a dog in shape, and its
color is like tortoisesheu. When wild
beasts of the jungles see it flying they
are terrified.

Umbleby related startling evidences
Of the grave danger to Europe from
coal famine.
In England, although public discus
sion is not allowed, strikes have so
reduced production in many coal dis
tricts that the output is negligible.
Many Of the high cost producing prop
critics are closed down because Of
post war conditions and labor difficult
ties. The great coal fields of West
phalia which have always supplied
central Europe have been closed down
by the strike. In Poland the Silisian
production is almost nil owing to the
confusion and INSTRUMENTATION of all
industries incident to the Polish
CzechO-SlOvic controversies. The de-
vastation caused by the Germans IN
the mines of northern France have
reduced fuel production in France to
a minimum and there will be shortage
for industrial and domestic purposes.
In the sections where Bolshevism has

indications are that not only will in
dustries and transportation suffer-
but great misery and exhorbitant
prices will prevail all over Europe
through the Reorganization which
prevents the necessary accumulation
of fuel in advance of heavy winter
demands.

PROTECTION Of
j. s. CITIZENS
John Regain Suggests That
Mexico Chambers of Com
MERGE Take Up Matter.

Following the action OF the Juarez
chamber of commerce in resenting the
action Of the FL Paso chamber of
commerce in demanding protection for
Americans in Mexico, John H Regan,
assistant manager of the FL Paso
chamber Of commerce. addressed a
letter to Andreas Garcia, consul gen
eral Of Mexico, suggesting that Mex
lean commercial bodies take steps in
that country TO secure protection Of
Americans. AR. Regan's letter says:
1T has occurred to me that the
chambers Of commerce of 1Iexi1o are
! so related that any uplift work which
may be instituted ~ one, may readily
be passed On TO another. I realize
that a pacific Mexico depends upon
the mobilization Of the intelligence
and leadership Of Mexico, and the
thought has come TO ne that if the
closely Identified chambers Of com
merce Of Mexico would organize an
auxiliary association to look after and
protect foreign lives and foreign in
terests, that it would have a fine
effect upon the modification OF many
unsettled areas in Mexico.
There seems. most unfortunately
TO be a tendency. and I am sure il
grows out Of a lack or d careful an
alysis Of the situation. to misinter-
pref the desire Of Americans to as
sure protection and safety to Ameri-
can citizens and property in other
countries I regret very much that
these interpretations frequently creep
into conferences that DO not Ike
into consideration the multitude Of
angles which every great problem
presents. and nothing would give me
greater pleasure. speaking unofficial
y. to know that a movement had been
begun in Mexico among the chambers
OF commerce TO create departments
for the purpose Of safe guarding and
protecting foreign lives and foreign
property such an organization
would have a tremendous effect in
establishing confidence in an estab-
nshed government in Mexico
And. If I might make the further
suggestion, quite unOfficiaIly I as
sure you, I believe it would be a
splendid example as demonstrating a
spirit Of fellowship and understand
ing. if the Juarez chamber OF COM
merce were TO take the initial step
in setting this example to our sister
republic. by going on record as eager
to assist in any measure that would
protect not only the lives and prop
erty OF Americans, but Of all law
abiding foreigners residing in Mex

Today Telephone Properties

government nor the companies are to blame.
A year ago today, we were at war. Labor and ma
teras needed for both telephone operation and constuc

so vital to the carrying on Of the war that even the work Of
providing telephone facilities for the government was re-
tarded and no part Of them could be spared for CONNER
cal telephone purposes.
Noless vital was the government need for those skilled
to create, maintain and operate the vast nercommca-

Thousands Of telephone men were already at the bat

instantly the business world sprang into intense activity.

Much progress has been made IN the upbuldng Of

PRODUCES FINE
EARLY CORN

T. w. BARLEY, who owns fine
three-acre tract just south of the
university, brought to the Start Mirror
office this morning some splendid
samples of early corn. For the past
eighteen years by careful selection of
seed, Mr.. BARLEY has developed his
own variety of corn which he calls
the Early Idaho.
The corn which Mr.. BARLEY is
showing his friends today is large
and more than twelve inches long,
with perfect rows of kernels. The
corn was planted on the eighteenth of
May and was ready for table use on
August fifth.
Mr.. BARLEY has whole acre of this
choice product a part of which he
markets advantageously for seed.
The rest he feeds to his chickens and
his cows Mr.. Bartley's dairy bust
ness is constantly growing. He is
five cows now and is raising
some heifer calves to increase his
herd. He sells his milk in bulk to the
dormitory and other nearby houses.
He is making a great success of the
