Outside Infection
During the past six weeks. / have
traced up four cases of typhoid fever
that have developed in this city and
found them due to outside infection
That is to say | found after careful
investigation they had been drinking
water from infected wells or springs
located outside CT the city limits.
l wish to give public warning that
it is dangerous to take drink OF
water from any well or spring unless
it has been tested and officially pass
q as bcirg free from pollution and
safe fer drinking purposes.
Daily analyses of our city water,
made in our laboratory, does not
show any serious pollution of that
supply. If it should at any time do
so, | will give public warning.
Swimming in the Potomac river in
frcrt of this city will give any per-
son typhoid, unless ne is immune r.

trying to look cheerful after their
long imprisonment and appearing
to be not at all bewildered by the
rumble Of the elevated trains that
fringe Chinatown. The long, yellow
fingers of the Oriental merchants
plunge deeper in the boxes and pull
out quantities of other toys-creep-
ing things and animals made to
Jump by the pressure of a bulb.
Each Of these bits CT highly colo,ed
gimcracks has concealed on it's
anatomy the words MADE in China"
which take the place of the familiar
pre-war legend that ascribed the
nativity of all toys to Germany. The
slgnlhcan! thing about the appear
ance Of the new brand of toys is
their evident imitation of the Euro
pean product. Only an expert can
discern here and there evidences of
the Oriental way of doing things.
On the whole the toys with which
Chinatown is being flooded are more
ingenious than the German article,

for the Chinaman or japanese imi-
tates nothing that he does not try
to improve.
The Anglo-Saxon doll made in
China, for instance, goes in for
rather fiamboyant coloring effects.
It's complexion would rouse envy in
any European doll denied the use of
cosmetics. AS for dresses, your
Chinese doll would make a Sicilian
girl in her gayest colors appear to
be in mourning.
The Chinese animals manufac-
tured for the American market seem
not to be fully decided what they
represent. A small so-called dog,
which at the pressure of bulb
kicks out its back legs and at the
same time emits a squeak, is not
unlike a cat. Perhaps into Ibis
animal the Chinese toymaker work
ing in some loft in crowded Canton
contrived to put a little of the
Chinese dragon. Perhaps he smiled
within himself when he sent this

the American change in his pocket,
China is going into the toy husi-

"No doubt Germany will try

Hurry up, guards. Bestir your

Murder is the charge AGAINST the
next prisoner, fshed up and brought
before Villa as if by accident because
the jailer happened to see him on
going out. Villa looks the prisoner
in the eye. What he sees in the
mans eye he tells no one, but for all
practical purposes the mans fate is
sealed by what Villa sees there. The
jailer, the rurale, or whoever pre-
sents the charges, talks. Villa looks
out the window He is thinking of
some important affair Of state. Why

safely elsewhere, Villa exercised the
undisputed powers Of a tyrant. He
was the government. Its function
was through his will His court
was held in room on an upper floor
of the governors palace, a stone
building about five times as big as
New York's City Hall, which over
looked a plaza.
Thither came all those who were
forced by circumstances to have any
dealings with him. All feared him.
None was certain OF the outcome of
his quest. And never. except in Mex
leo, was there beheld such scene.
Villa, as black as Othello, sat
among the crimson dra4aries and
Gilt, cushioned furniture, his revolver
available in his belt and his armed
guards at the doors. 1t was pic
ture of barbaric splendor, as if
vagabond with muddy boots had
taken possession Of q castle.
Up the cool marble steps trailed
an endless line Of broken, ragged
men, Of women with sickly babes
tucked beneath shawls, of underfed
children orphaned by recent battles
and of prisoners whose red eyes and
sunken stomachs betol,ened long
vigils in cells.
On his canopied throne-like chair
sat Villa, smoking q cigarette and
ready to dispense justice as he saw
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-08-08
Knew His Limitation

Despite these instances 1 am con-
ginced that Villa was sincere in his
disavowal Of ambition for the Pres
idency. He was aware Of his mas
terry over interiors. but was mindful
that he was ignorant. Not only
could he not write, but he learned
only with difficulty to sign his name
to state pagers. In Mexico City,
thrown among men who preferred
wits 70 guns, he wotId .ace condi-
tons with which he was not
equipped to cope. Hence re seldom
ventured OUT Of northern Mexico, q
field most promising for action in
revolutions and safest for seclusion
IN peace. Zacatecas. to which he has
now RETIRED" is such place.
Carranza and Villa never were
much together. Their quarrel came
finally over telegraph wire. Car
rama had gone south and. the revo-
luton having progressed 10 a point
where military action was less neces-
sary, he sought TO subordinate The
man whom ne had long feared. He
telegraphed Villa some pereinptory
orders which Villa refused to obey.
The breach was complete, Carranza
gaining control Of the government
and Villa subsiding into seclusion.
Except for his sporadic raids on the
border, which occasioned the Perish
.ng expedition, wherein the United
States reversed its former respect
f7r him, villa began to bide his time.
That an uneducated man. with no
more than the rags on MS back, rose
10 picturesque eminence where he
. held absolute control over fen cy
twenty thousand soldiers and de-
termined the destinies OF whors
cities, furnishes history with proof
that personality sometimes is more
potential than birth. and that fortune
IS more prone TO favor those who
follow their own impulses than those
who obey the dictates Of others.

NUNK and puzzles are no
longer China's chief contri-
button to the worlds amuse-
ment. The old Asiatic en-
pire, whose emblem is itself a toy
a fire-spittinA dragon-has gone
into the business of supplying the
worlds toy market, evidently with
an intention of capturing the trade
lost by Germany. Hence the queer
shops in New York's crowded China
town are astir with new industry.
Great boxes, strangely marked
with Oriental signs, are being IN
packed on the sidewalks, disclosing
enough dolls to fill the arms Of all

often vain, but never boastful, as
knew him; he was even given to
kindness. His decision once given
he was unyielding. Toward an enemy
he knew no justice. In estimating
the motives Of persons unknown to

Villas Justice
He ventures to stand erect,
humbly. His plea, as he pushes back
his white locks, is that the woman
owes him money. He is keeping the
cow as collateral. The hint of
money lending is repugnant to Villa.
It smacks too much of aristocracy.
He becomes impatient.
Give back the cow" commands
Villa. That is final enough without
the bit of Villastic profanity which
cmbellshes it. The cow is restored

his consular agents, seemed to re-
gard Villa as Presidential posi-
bility for Mexico, or at least as
man strong enough to lead that
country out of revolutionary chaos.
Mr.. Bryan's dispatches urged policy
of tact in dealing with him, al
though Villa knew little and cared
nothing about international rela-
tions.
Taking the hint which seemed to
come from Washington, I one day
approached Villa on the subject. 1t
might seem flattering in most coun-
tries to ask a man whether he
aspired to the supreme authority.
Not so in Mexico. Ambition, though
it may be che one thing which moves
man there, Is the ane thing hs
ssaas TO conceal I pointed out to
Villa that such reports sere being
circulated In The United States and
that for the sake OF apparent har-
mony between himself and Carranza
he might wish to comment on them.
AS he paced the floor, now and then
meditatively jabbing the toe of his
boot into one Of the bags Of silver
coin piled in corner--ns doubt, the
army's petty cash--he explained that
ne had no ambition sgfer than love
of country. His heart belonged to
Carranza, he said, although 1t was
well known that two things were
never more at variance uan Car
rama and Villas hearts.
A day or two later he was visited
on the same mission by another cor
respondent. His fury took the form
Of ordering the correspondent from
his presence and threatening to send
him out of the country II the ques-
ton of his ambition ever again was
raised.
