"GRAY AUTOMOBILE
 ROBBER BAND" IN
 MEXICO MYSTERIOUS

MEXICO CITY, Feb. II. - The record of crimes attributed to the supposed organization popularly known as the "gray automobile rob Der band" has been augmented by the killing in the Federal peniten- tiaTy of Francisco Oviedo. Oviedo had been a prisoner for a year and half and was accused of being one of the sub chiefs of the robber band which has operated here for two years or more. He was slain with a dagger by a negro prisoner who was charged with nine other murders.
 The killing of Oviedo places an other obstacle in the path of the authorities who for two years have been trying to discover the supposed man or men 'higher up" who di- rect the operations of the robber band which uses a gray automobile in making their raids.
 Several important witnesses against the band have been mur- dered. sA

TOUGH SHEDDING ON RAILROAD ON
 RENAL PENINSULA
Railroad Cannot Operate for 3s Miles Between Seward and Anchorage on Account of Snowslides.

SEWARD. Feb. 2zTough siedding IS an actuality, rather than a figure of speech, on the route of the Gov ernment railroad between Seward and Anchorage. There is a gap of thirty-two miles over which trains cannot operate because of either snow-blockaded rails or glaciered track; and sudden and extreme changes in the weather make tray cling with horses and dogs slow and ardous. Often the trail is-obliterated Dy snow storms and the breaking or it is task of frequent repetition.
 sometimes blizzards are so severe that horses cannot be driven at all and even malamute dogs curl up in lront Of their sleds rather than try to go against the storms. Other times, the trail, made soft by thaw ing temperatures, will not support horses and it's slush snow balls up'' the feet of the dogs so they cannot travel On such occasions, ami mals, drivers and passengers have to stay at roadhouses until there is l change to more favorable weather conditions.
 Only by the hardest and most per sistent work is tho railroad kept clear between Seward and Mile 45 and between Mile 77 and Anchorage, which is at Mile IA. Rotary blows, ditchers and large crews of laborers battle night and day against the ole- ments.

COMING HOME

The Emory Unit is back again, and
the 18th Engineers are on the way,
and numbers of other detachments of
the boys from over there are coming
too, so there is joy in great many
Georgia homes today.
The only sad feature is to see them
come back leaving some behind, and
that some wha come with them have
crutches and empty sleeves.
Any one who goes about Fort Nc
Pherson, or even the streets of At
lanta, is struck with the number of
wounded and manned soldiers in
sight.
But with it all they seem so cheer
full and unmindful of their own mis-
fortunes that one can but feel asham-
ed of our own indifference to our
own blessings.

DO 1T YOURSELF

When Dan Boone's old buckskins
gave out hind and fore,
Did he call in a taylor to make him
some more?
He made'em himself.
When he carved up a Redskin who
threatened his life,
Did he call in a grinder to sharpen
his knife,
He did it himself.
When he knew of the haunt of a
sockin' big bear,
Did he send for a jitney to carry
him there?
He liked it himself.
We're all mighty proud of our honest
old Dan
A fearless, resourceful, strong wild
erness man
When he needed supplies and pro-
visions, | guess
He knew he'd go barefoot and hun
CRY unless
He got 'em himself.
When you put on your socks and your
toes punch through.
Don't leave all the mending for others
to do;
Darn 'em yourself.
The next time your trousers are due
to be pressed
Just say to your mother, "Please sit
down and rest;
"I'll do it myself"
If your basement is Uttered with rub
bish and trash
Don't send for the ashman-save
your Dads cash
And do it yourself.
Far removed are you not from that
PIONEER life.
When daily existence meant unceas-
ing strife,
But though you don't live on the
frontier, like Dan,
You'll fnd-if you try-many things
that you can
Do for yourself.
The Cave Scout in Boys Life for
April.
