the Great. This is not a pleasant story,
but it has considerable power, and is
more interesting on the second reading
than the first.
Secret Serpice, by F. Britten Austin,
in the Saturday Erening Post, is another
tale of mediumistic communication,
wherein the efficient Germans use a ghost
as spy. The complications are highly
dramatic, the struggle taking place on
two continents. Capt. Austin knows how
to tell a good yarn as his recent volume
of war stories, according TO Orders,
shows
The current atlantic publishes q story
in verse by Amy Lowell, Dried Marjoram.
This has a piercing pathos attained
partly from the ballad simplicity of the
style. Miss Lowell leaves free verse for
the rhymed stanza, and makes an effect
of antique, austere nobility, though the
rhymes in places do seem bit forced.
Missing, by Mrs. Henry Dudene, in
Harper'S, Is an exquisite pastoral in
prose, an account of shepherds return
home from the war, wherein there is not
a word that is superfuous or inept. Mrs
Dudeney has done nothing better than
this.
The CrOss,odyS, by Beth Bradford Gil
christ, also in Hdrper's, handles with So
phistieated skill an interesting problem in
human relations. Here is q new writer
who is doing worth while work.
The Gift, by Katharine Holland Brown,
in Scribner's, is charged with emotion, yet
avoiding sentimentality. The story has at
once an effect of swiftness and of leisure,
for while the incidents take place in an
hour the mind goes back over the events
of forty years. The characters are admi-
rably realized here, the dead mother who
is such a living memory, the adorable
young daughter and the man himself.
Katharine Holland Brown knows well
how to reflect the charm and grace of
youth.
1t is curious that the same number Of
Scri6ner'S should publish two stores of
such similar material as The Gift and
The First Commandment With Promise,
by Ray Irving Murray, each showing the
unexpected meeting, of an emotional char
acter, between a father and child from
whom he has been separated for years
Climate, by Harriet Welles, in McCdHs
Magazine, is an atmospheric tale of
China, containing lively action and un-
canny mystery. But it is rather more
melOdramatic and sensational than artistic,
and is not Mrs. Welles at her best. She
has a story in Scribner's also which is
less effective than her work usually is.
In The Bride Of Bdcoor. in the Pictorial
Rericr, Edward s. O'Reilly tells rather
well a story Of the Philippines. Dolores,
the little golden skinned bride driven mad

Some Stories in
June Magazines
By DOROTHY SCARBOROUGH.

This months magazines contain sew
IL eral notable stories deserving
more than the ephemeral interest ordi-
narily given to current magazine fiction.
There are also to be found the usual
number of light and cheaply superficial
stories, evidencing the fact that some
editors, at least, agree with the one who
said recently, "Our magazine can't bother
much about art. We've got to print pop
ular stuff"
Fortunately for the interests of Gtera-
ture in America there are editors and
writers who do show concern for the finer
qualities of fiction, for the art that has
permanence of value.
Theodore Dresser has in the Tribune
Magazine a story called Lone which is
at once tormenting and inspiring to read.
The material is repellent, an account of
mans struggles TO free himself from an
ignoble love to which he is inescapably
bound by his own weakness Of will.
Tho method Of telling the story has the
morbid monotony which Dresser has
sometimes shown. At great length and
with needless repetition he analyses the
mans thoughts, revealing the contrast
between the surface and the secret work

now busily publishing reconstruction fic-
ton, as mechanical and uninspired as too
many Of the war stories have been.
Samuel A. Derieux has another dog
story in the American, The Trial IN Tom
Belcher'S Store, which is excellent in
some respects.

FOR CONCRETE HIGHWAY.

At Silver City and at Hurley, be-
traffic, there is much discussion over
a proposition to make a departure in
road construction, from the usual
methods in vogue in New Mexico.
Economy and permanency are urged
as results that would follow concrete
construction.
A graveled roadway, it Is said,
would cost $4,000 per mile and re-
quire an expenditure of $1,000 per
mile each following year to maintain
the surface. A concrete highway
could not be made for less than $780,
600 per mile. But comparatively lit
tie expense for repairs would follow.
There are concrete highways in the
east which have been in service for
thirty years and are still in good
order.
There are not many districts in
New Mexico which could now bear
the expense of concrete highways
over long distances, but for the short
distance between the Grant county
towns named, the volume of traffic
and the valuations of property to be
benefited might make ii very wise
indeed for expenditure of the money
necessary for the best of construction

GERMS PRESSED TO DEATH.

NEBRASKA state JOufIlai.
One of the most interesting of re
cent developments in the dairy indus
try is the announcement that germs
may be killed by pressure. This leads
to the belief that the old method of
pasteurizing milk by heat, which has
been found Objectionable in some re-
spects, may be supplanted. 1t is
claimed for the pressure system that
the delicate ferments of enigma In
milk are not destroyed and that no
changes are made in the taste or
general condition. The pressure is
applied by means of hydraulic
pump. 1t is possible to apply as high
a pressure as 100000 pounds to the
square inch. A pressure of $4,000
pounds to the square inch for fifteen
minutes has been found to kill many
bacteria. Higher pressure can be APP
piled when the germs are extraordi-
narily stubborn. In general it is be-
lieved that a pressure of 10000
pounds for twenty minutes will serve
every practical purposes Il This ma-
terial is found in a statement recently

this territory over to the United States
voluntarily, just as the Texans turned
theirs over to the United States. But
the Texans were shrewder They de-
manded and secured statehood at
once, and they held for their own use
every acre of Texas territory. The
New Mexico people became volun-
tarily subject to the United States
and they gave all their millions of
acres of public lands to the govern
ment over them.
Now. let us have an end to the race
prejudice talk. The Anglo-American
first began the apportioning of offices
on racial lines, and when Governor
Iarrazolo begins belated recognition
of the rights of the SpanishAmerican
majority in this state, we find one OF
the great parties-and there arc many
thousand Spanish Americans in the
democratic party--boasting that il
will never again nominate a Spanish
American for governor, and that il
will have white mans party here

There is one woman in Holyoke
who has trained her hens to electric
lights and music. A clever young
woman went out to have tea with her
the other evening and this is the
story she tells:
Il went out with my hostess and
saw a demonstration such as | have
never seen since | was born. When
she went into the henhouse she armed
on an electric light, explaining that
she leaves it on all night to make
them lay more But then she began
to sing softly and every hen began to
follow suit. Some of them sang bass,
some tenor, and l thought one was
singing soprano and when she stopped
singing they stopped. Then when she
began they did-a few at time, and
finally all joined in the chorus. ]
was simply charmed. for you know
music will charm wild creatures-and

woman singing with her hens" Now

mouth turn up and the reason for her
girlish interest and enthusiasm in
everything"

RELIEF NEEDED.

The farmers under the Carlebad
appeal to the government to give
them relief from rigorous regulations
now in force. The principal cause OF
complaint is that liens on land, for
water rents and annual payments for
construction account, make it impossi-
BILE for farmers to secure loans.
The Carlebad Water Users associa-
ton has passed resolutions asking
that liens be eliminated, and for the
government to collect through its
ability to shut off water from de-
linquents
From correspondence between the
Pecos valley people and the govern
ment officials and from resolutions
passed by the water users 1t appears
that very onerous conditions and I'M
fair restrictions exist.
The water users make out a good
case in their declaration in part of a
letter addressed to Washington:
!. The government by its two
liens has made it impossible for us
to borrow any money elsewhere upon
our equity (if indeed under the pres
ent law we have any equity in the
lands we occupy and are presumed
to own
.. Having made it impossible for
us to borrow elsewhere, the govern
ment charges us IT per cent interest
6 per cent discount. ! per cent per
month penalty upon its temporary
loan to us of the water charges for
one year as contrasted with the in
tent of congress toward agriculture
evidenced by the Farm Loan act.
This statement carries it's own con-
domination without need of comment
from us.
Under the original Reclamation act
protection was attempted by confin-
ing the charges which could be legally
levied upon the settlers equity to the
estimated cost" under the 'eXten-
sion act all safeguards for the set
| tier have been removed as the said
act is now interpreted and admins
tered by the interior department.
! Since the opening of this project
| rs per cent of the water users for
one reason or another found it neCes-
sary to take advantage of the permit
ted penal extension term, not only
losing the per cent discount allowed
for prompt payment. but also paying
to the government the unjust penalty
of 2 per cent per annum.
Senators Fall and Jones of New
Mexico, and Senator Phelan of Cali
fornia, and Representative Hernandez
have been asked to aid in securing re-
lief
Water users under other projects
are urged to Join in a movement fol
an amendment to the Irrigation act
They are told that as the govern.
mem has sole ownership of the prof
ects and has absolute control of water
allotments, that in itself is sufficen
security and guarantee for the ulti
mate reimbursement of construction
and maintenance charges.
In order to obtain water withou
which land is practically worthless
for farming use, all settlers are obi
gated to pay water assessments

liens which now operate little els,

RACE PREJUDICE IN NEW
MEXICO.

There has been vast amount OF
loose talk regarding the alleged ell
fort-alleged by democratic leaders
of Governor Larrazolo to Mexicanize
the state.
Elsewhere, the Journal presents the
real facts in a comprehensive news
story from Santa Fe. 1t shows how
little there is upon which to base all
the chatter that is now being en-
ployed to arouse Anglo American
prejudice against the Spanish Amer
lean people of New Mexico.
1t is now coldly given out that the
democratic party never again VIII
nominate a Spanish American for the
governorship, or for any other high
office. Let us be perfectly frank on
the subject The democratic slogan
now is a white mans party"
When did the first evidences of race
prejudice show up in New Mexico
politics? Every person who has
studied the matter will answer that it
was in the first state election.
In that election every Spanish
American, of whatever party, running
against an Anglo American. was de-
feated. E. C. de Baca defeated a
Spanish American for lieutenant
governor and Antonio Lucero defeat
ed a Spanish American for secretary
of state.
Each member of the supreme court
was Anglo American, as is the case
now. The governor and every state
officer elected were Anglo Americans,
as well as two representatives in con-
gress-one republican and the other
q democrat, each defeating Spanish
American candidate on the opposite
ticket.
When the legislature met it elected
two Anglo Americans as United States
senators.
Let US consider the matter from a
purely financial standpoint The ag-
gregate of the annual salaries was
$4,000 for Anglo-Americans ano
$4,000 for Spanish Americans!
Can we wonder that the Spanish
American was peeved? Can We won
der, when he was so ignored. so dis
eliminated against, that he demanded
recognition and wanted a governor OF
his own race?
Let us remember that the Spanish
American was here long before the
Anglo came: that the Spanish

A WOman's Answer
BY HELEN ROWLAND

And that NO woman is as old as she
locks before breakfast
Or as young as she feels just after
she has received a proposal of mar
riage or a thrilling compliment or a
divorce or a box of flowers.
And that age is not matter of
birthdays,
But of emotions and sentiments and
enthusiaSms--
Not a matter of hardening arteries
but of ''ossified notions and set
ideas!" ...
And that a woman is never passe
until she begins to regard a mans
glance of appraisal or his casual love-
making as a compliment
Instead of as an impertinence!
And that it's better to BE fifty
than to WEIGH a hundrer and fifty.
= And that the youngest woman in
the world is just twenty three
And that NO woman is the same
age two days in succession or IN two
moods or in sunlight and moonlight.
And that any woman would rather
tell you all about her past
Than to tell you how much there
is of it, ..
And that every woman is at heart
young enough to be a daughter and
old enough to be a motheg to the man
she loves!
And that it is kinder to put salt
on an oyster or to pour water on a
cat than to ask woman her AGE!
Especially in Aprl-when Youth
! springs eternal in the human breast
and nobody is over twenty!
Dear man, l will tell you the size
of my foot. the number of my glove
my waist measure, my favorite color
and the brand of my sachet-
But my age-Shades of Ninon de
| I Enclosei-NEVERl
So just write me down as
Twenty nine by candle light"
That's the official age of every
modern woman
Who knows when to STOP!
