PARIS, Feb. 20-In the Chamber OF
Deputies this afternoon Under Secre-
tary Deechanel said he was glad to
announce that the condition Of Pre-,
mier Clemenceau continued to i'm.
prove, and that those about him
seemed fully treasured.
The radio examination made of
Premier Clemenceau's wound, 1t is
stated on good authority, showed that
the bullet hal lodged on top Of the
Premler's right lung and that the
lung had been touched by it.
After the N-ray examination had
been completed Premier Clemenceau
walked out on the balcony of his
house, overlooking the garden, to take
breath of fresh air. The morning
was a delightful one, the first real
springllke day. ...
The Premier seemed vigorous. al.
though he spat little blood

One Of those present at the taking
OF the radiograph of Premier Clemen-
ccaus wound is quoted by the Temps
as saying:
THE radiograph is perfectly clear,
marking the exact spot OF the projec-
tile near the lung, in a region which
best withstands the presence of for
eign body. Therefore it is not likely
that the extraction of the bullet Will
be attempted at the present time.
Similar wounds were very frequent
during the war and numerous recov-
cries were recorded. Therefore 1t is
hoped that unless complications arise
few days will see the patient re
stored"

MUSICAL BROOM Is

From the worm, the butterfly I;

Yes, it was real broom, an ancient
broom. For many day il had func-

room was clean except for the spot
IN the corner where the broom stood.
But its day of usefulness was pass

its straw to begin slipping away as
the hair disappears from the head of
a hard worked company commander.
A few more days and all would have
been over. Then Corporal Holland

broom another Twelve o'clock had
struck and it was back to its position
Of toll. This morning it was stand

floor was clean.
The entire program at the ~" Civ

interesting from the broom to the full

way through. The chorus scored a
point for the troop that the other
organizations had overlooked, but
their success means that other feat

LITTLE is KNOWN OF
SHORES AT HEAD OF
GULF OF CALIFORNIA
CBy The Associated Press }

TUSCON, Arizona, Aug. 23.-The
head of the Gulf Of California today
is almost as much of an unknown sea
as it was in the eighteenth century
when the Spanish padres, kino, Gar
ces and Curar, made their first rude
map of il.
This was the statement made by
Professor Godfrey Sykes, of the des-
ert laboratory, University of Arizona,
recognized authority on the Gulf, in
connection with plans now under way
to build railway from Ajo, Arizona,
to Bay st. George, at the head of the
great inlet to the Pacific.
''In l540-1542 the head Of the Gulf
of California was explored and rough
ly mapped by the Alarcon expedi-
tion," said Professor Sykes. 'In the
eighteenth century Kino and his
priestly co-explorers added to the in
formation; in 1929 Lieutenant Mardy
of the British navy surveyed it; in
1851 Lieutenant G.. II. Derby of the
United States Typographical survey
carried out a reconnaissance survey
there, and in the '70's Captain, later
Admiral, Dewey reported on hydro
graphy, meteorology and general con-
ditions.
"Tides at the head Of the gulf are
very heavy" continued Professor
sykes, "Some | measured there show
ed verticle range well over 40 feet
This record is exceeded only on the
coasts of either of the Americas BY
the tides Of the Bay of Fundy.

MEXICO, CITY, Aug. 22.-An inn
portant step toward the adoption Of
measures tending to prevent clashes
between Mexico and the United
States was takn when Luis Cabrera,
secretary Of the treasury, who il re-
garded as the mouthpiece OF the Mex
lean administration, stated that the
MeXicans and American governments
should sign an agreement for recipro-
cal border guard service.
Ygnacio Bonihas, the Mexican am
bassador to Washington. according 20
Cabrera, would be eminently fitted
for the purpose of conducting nego-
tiations with this end in view since
he was a member Of the Mexican
commission which met the United
States Representatives at Atlantic
City in 1916 to discuss this plan at
the time Of General Pershing's uni
tive expedition into Mexico.
Senor Cabrera says the difficulty
which prevented the adoption of such
an agreement at Atlantic City at that
time was due TO the fact that the
Americans wanted the agreement
signed Immediately while the Mexi-
can Representatives held out for the
withdrawal of the Pershing expedi-
tion from Mexico before signing.
Comment in other official quarters
in Mexico tended to point out that
with reciprocal border guard service
To eliminate further clashes, with the
present government striving to pro-
tect foreigners and property, and the
Mexican congress to take up the oil
question. which has caused so much
agitation, the problems Of Mexico
should be quickly solved

BELIEVE REST CAMP

With the arrival yesterday at the
North Beach rest camp of forty mem
bers of Company l, the personnel Of
this unit, attached to the 37th Infan-
try at Brownsville is now complete.
Lieutenant III. G. Johnstone was in

Considerable speculation resulted
yesterday following the arrival of the
remaining portion of Company l. 1t
is thought that the rest camp will be
enlarged to care for additional troops
coming from the border posts to this
city for three-day vacations. The
fact that large bodies of troops may
be stationed along the border, estab-
lished the rumor that allitional con-
tingents of troopers will be sent to
the Corpus Christi rest camp each
week. This was unofficial, no state
ment being made by officers in
charge of the rest camp.
Heretofore the rest camp has been
receiving approximately 100 soldiers
each week from the various posts
along the border. Unofficial reports
coming from these border points in
dicate that these groups are being
brought up to war strength, and it
is thought that this will increase the
number Of men sent to the rest camp
here.
Captain Egeland, in command OF
the rest camp had everything in read.

Company !. Extra hunks and tents
were arranged and other accommo-
