DIED IN POVERTY

Ell Paso, Texas.-Mrs. Luis Ter
razas, SO years of age, wife of GEN
eral Terrazas, former governor of
Chihuahua, who died recently, has
lived in exile in Eel Paso since she
and her family were driven from
their Chihuahua home when the city
was occupied by Villa in 1918.
The Terrazas family was reputed
to be the wealthiest in Mexico be-
fore their property was confiscated
by the revolutionists. Their estate
before the outbreak of the Madero
revolution in 1911 was estimated at
from 100000 to 100000 acres
and to have covered large part of
the state of Chihuahua. Their cattle
are said to have numbered more
than 100000 and the property was
valued at about $200.000,000
When Villa confiscated the estate
and the family only had small for
tune left and went to Ell Paso, Cen
eral Luis Terrazas, Jr., son, was cap
tured by Villa and held for ransom.
He was tortured and hanged until
he indicated that he would tell the
bandit leader where 100000 In gold
pesos was hidden. This was in a
column of the bank of Chihuahua
City.
The son was released and return
ed to his people at III Paso. Later
he went to Los Angeles. where he
died as result of the tortures OF
the Villa bandits. In the meantime
the fortune had dwindled so that
the family had to live in a small
rented house.

Pearls Now Scarce
Along Wabash River

Vincennes, Ind.-The supply OF
mussel shells from which pearl but
tons are made, rapidly is becomlns
scarce in the Wabash river in TINS
vicinity. incidentally, fewer pearls
and, slugs are being found in the
shells.
Only few years ago the price ior
select shell was So ton, and the
digger prospered. Now the price is
$40 ton, and shell known as wash
boards" formerly discarded, are in
cluded. A digger at present can ma
only about 100 pounds n day.
Mussels now obtained are young
and have not had sufficient time to
develop slugs and pearl. the diggers
assert. The highly colored wash
board" shells are cut into buttons,
and no matter how thin n piece of
shell happens to be. some use is
found for it,
Regardless of the scarcity of
shells, indications are that there will
be the number of diggers at work
the coming summer. Most of them
have hunted pearls for years. VIM
cenneS broke into the limelight as
n place where pearls might be found
several years ago. One pearl from
the Wabash was sold by the digger
for 81 700 and another for $500,
When placed on the market later by
the purchasers, it is said the pearls
brought several thousand dollars.
While the pearls are becoming
scarce in proportion to the dimin-
ishing supply of mussels, occasion
ally a good one is found. One weigh
ing 80 grains was found recently

RAzORs 10000 YEARS ON

Razors were in common use in an
cient Greece and even centuries before
that In the Swisslake dwellings,.
which date back 10000 years have
been found razors made from bronze.
The ancient Greeks and Romans used
similar implement. The metal was
hardened and had a beaten edge which
could be made very sharp.
The prehistoric Mexicans are credited
with making the best of ancient razors.
These were glass affairs made from
"obsidian," of volcanic origin. A CYL
indrical piece of volcanic glass served
as the core, so to speak, from which
thin flakes were skillfully Clipped. The
"chippings" resembled the modern
razor blades of to-day. When the edge
became dull all that was necessary was
to chip off another flake, which made
an easy shave simple.
The hairiest people in the world to-
day are the Ainua, an aboriginal race
who inhabit the ZeZo. the northern

Pennsylvania Railroad Off
cials Find New Way to
Stop Nuisance

Conservation of coal on the Mid
die division of the Pennsylvania
railroad is proving a big factor in
solving the black smoke nuisance.
Data Is now being prepared in the
office of General Superintendent n.
w. Smith, at Altoona. In circular
letter from J. C. johnson, superin-
tendent of the Middle division, he
urges still greater team work be-
tween engineers and firemen to pro-
duce still better results. Superin-
tendent Johnson said yesterday:
Records in the saving of coal are
being broken almost daily. This con-
servation was started by General
superintendent Smith with a view to
cutting down the cost of coal. 1t is
doing more for us. Black smoke is
disappearing. Too much coal put on
the fire at one time is not only eX-
pensiVe but is a big factor in the
black smoke nuisance" Records
made during the week ending yes

for consumption of coal between AL

SENATOR WANTS GREAT
UNIVERSITY IN WASHINGTON

tional system, with u great univer-
sity at Washington as the capstone.
is the mast pressing need of the
country to-day, in the opinion of
Senator France. of Maryland. A
recent report of the surgeon general
of the army, he said, showed that
"a per cent of the men enlisted in
the United States army were litter
ates. Such a condition, he said.
should not be tolerated. He placed
the blame on the Federal Govern
ment for not having established a
national system of education.
How can you say that the United
States has an education system
when not more than fourteen chill
dren out of every twenty-five OF
school age attend the schools and
those for an average of 160 days a
year," he demanded. Senator
France said that only through the
education of the people could the
country hope to maintain it's Gov
ernment and Institutions.
George Washington dreamed OF
a great national university at the
Capital of the Nation" he said. "It
is such a university that 1 would
