Those of you who don't believe in

! gnastly yesterday. A home for
happiness" said General MacKinney
with wide sweep of his hand. Here
We are reclaiming mendicant Mexico.
| Not a human being brought in has
known anything but want for years.
Many have never slept in bed, never
eaten except from garbage can,
never known other clothes than rags
never smiled.
Mexico has been their curse and
they curse to Mexico.
When Cortez came to the city four
centuries ago he found forty thousand
professional beggers on the streets.
Their descendants have clung to us
through succeeding generations.
To-day we are gathering them in
here, cleaning, feeding, clothing them
and teaching them to earn an honest
living. In that building the women
learn to sew and weave, in this one
the men are trained to skilled work.

We descended in the main court
and were caught in a swirl of ragged
outcast begging to be released.
These said General MacKinney
have just been brought in. AS soon
as they are fed and clothed, you
couldn't drive them away"
The gates opened, letting in white
clad attendants bringing milk fresh
beef, rice, sugar, coffee, macaroni.
What a scramble for the first square
meal most of these wrecks had even
eaten.
"And now" said the general, lead
ing me to the top of the wall again,
"let me show you why am here.
Look down there.
Deep beneath two walls l saw
small iron gratings-air holes to dun
geons. At one end workmen were tear
ing down the masonry, ripping out
the bars.

MacKinney, 81 spent three months
down there in the blacklist, dampest

1.-THE firing squad in the court
above was my timepiece. Every night

knell. 1t didn't strike for me, though
1 was condemned to die, because a
thirty thousand dollar bribe bought
freedom.
II vowed if ever got out I'd come
back here and clean up this hole. I'm

BIDS ON MAIL PLANES
ASKED BY POSTOFFICE

WASHINGTON, April %. (Spl.)-
Experts for the postoffice department
have worked out the specifications for
a multimotored airplane Of a strictly
commercial type and especially adapt
ed for carrying mail. Bids for the con-
struction Of these machines have been
called for, and the bids to be opened
June 2 with the understanding that the
planes will be ready for delivery within
six months after the contract Is
awarded,
The specifications as prepared are
general in their scope, being designed
to give builders the widest scope but
call for definite performance. They
are the result of a symposium Of Views
on the part of pilots, mechanics, air
plane builders and a~eronautical engi-
neers.
Under the specifications consideration
viii be given to planes of two, three or
more motors, connecting on one shaft,
set in the wings or In the fuselage, but
having a minimum lifting capacity of
at least 1900 pounds of mail. The de
partment prefers planes with a carry
ing capacity of from a ton to a ton and
a half, but will consider those OF the
first named figure,
Among the features desired Ia a plane
with the lowest possible landing speed,
a cruising speed Of from 80 to 100
miles an hour and a top speed of from
ITO to 1l5 miles per hour, 1t must have
a cruising radius OF about six hours
with the normal load specified and II
the planes call for the use Of Liberty
or Hispano-Suiza engines the depart
ment is prepared to supply the motors.
1t has been estimated that such a plane
az will meet the departments require
ment should have a wing span OF about
100 feet.

MEN UNEASY
ABOUT CAR SUPPLY

The exped, tlous handling of the great
flux OF logs which is expected to start
out Of the forests of the Mississippi
valley toward the mills with the drying
up OF the forests In the next 10 days,
depends upon whether the Y. 4 NJ.
V. railroad will be able TO furnish the
equipment for the operation OF log
leaders. This is the statement made
by J. w. Dickson, president Of the Val
ley Log Loading company,
The Valley Log Loading company Is
prepared to put as high as six loading
machines out on the divisions which
II serves and can handle up to 10, 900. 900
feet Of logs a month, provided the rail-
road company can furnish the engines
and crews for the loading machines and
the flat cars for the transportation Of
the logs.
Mr.. Dickson fears. however. that the
railroad company will not be able to
furnish equipment for more than one
loader. In fact he has had to defer put
ting another loader into service be-
cause OF the failure OF the railroad to
furnish equipment. II he can get
equipment for three leaders 5000. 900
