KEEPING COOL

Those who can take themselves to the mountains or to sea-
side or lakeside resorts to escape the hot weather are fortunate,
If those who remain in Memphis will do as they do at the
lounging summer resorts they will not mind the heat. AT sum
rer resorts people sit about in sleeveless pajamas, keep out of
the sun, refrain from excitement and exercise, and battle fire.
quently in cool water, These, with a judicious diet, will keep
people cool in Memphis as we'll as anywhere else, The Ozark
mountains are Just across the river, and there the nights are as
cool as they are anywhere, Extremely hot weather is enervat-
ing. 1t takes the pep and strength out of people and makes
them subject to ailments that they would escape or wear off if
in a place where they could keep out Of the sun and away from
rich, heat-producing foods and violent exercise.
Those who stay at home and take prudent care of them
selves are usually as we'll off as those who go away in quest
of cool places for the summer, A great many men have lived
to an old age and enjoyed good health who never went to a
summer resort. OF course those who can do so should gladly
accept the gifts the gods provide, and enjoy themselves. They
are the favored of fortune.

Thriller Is
Enacted And Auto
Suspect Is In Jail

Here's a real "movie" thriller invol-
UNFAIRLY acted by Memphis detectives,
alleged automobile thieves and the cars
owner.
An automobile belonging to H. B.
Austin: Lexington, Tenn, bearing a
1917 license was stolen before dawn
Friday from In front of his home where
1t had been parked for the night.
Detectives Ira Williams and Carroll
Bell observed an automobile late Friday
afternoon being driven out Madison
avenue that bore a 1917 Tennessee state
license. They followed in a police car.
Two young men placed the car In the
Madison avenue, to have 1t cleaned and
polished. They mentioned that it could
be bought for $400-mighty cheap for
the car. The two strangers said they
would return at 10 a. m, Saturday.

who had traced his automobile to Men,

headed him off at the door and they

reached for a pistol on the inside Of
his neatly pressed coat, but Williams

submission.

AMERICANS

Carranza has promised that all Americans in Mexico shall
be protected. The promise is all right, but his ability to fulfill
it is doubted. He cannot protect Americans who remain on
their own side of the Rio Grande, and so long as Villas bandits
occupy housetops and church steeples, where they snipe passers-
by, Carranza can give but little protection to them, Indeed it
would seem that he has as much as he can do to protect himself
and save his own scalp. His soldiers are no match for the
Villstas when it comes to battle, They run or surrender, and
are liable at any moment to Join the enemy, as they have been
doing. 1t is the part of prudence to keep American soldiers in
goodly numbers on the border for emergencies. They can pro
tect themselves and their fellow c%ountrymen. The border towns
on the American side are largely filled up with Mexicans, and
these, even when holding office and executing American law,
are at heart bandits and enemies of this country. 1t is an ugly
mess we have at our door, and it may take drastic measures
to remove it.
