Those who are leading the fight in the Mexican state of Sonora are losing no opportunities. They are taking advan- iage of the situation as they find it and are making it evident that their inten- lions are serious and that their plans are not merely on paper.

LAUNDRY NOTES.

Soak chocolate stains in kerosene and wash in cold water.
 Table linen needs very little bluing in the wash water.
 Ammonia poured on iodine spots will remove them immediately.
 Use milk warm water to wash chamois gloves and rinse thoroughly When they begin to dry blow into each finger to stretch it into shape Rub soft before putting on the hands.
 When washing blouses, handker- chiefs or other fine pieces of linen put a little orris root into the rinsing water. This imparts to the clothes the odor of violets and it lasts longer than the ordinary scent sachets.
 When ironing, the hand often be- comes sore from the heat and an un- suitable iron holder. If this is covered with a pieces of old, soft silk, the hand will be found to keep soft and coo and free from the hot, sore feeling one so often experiences after ironing day

THE SAN RENO CONFERENCE.

The provisions of the Versailles treaty are understandable but there is need among the allied nations of an agree ment as to how they shall be carried out. It needs to be settled just how the diff freent provisions are going to be en- forced, and nothing has illustrated the necessity of such an understanding more than the situation that developed as the result of the German army being sent in to the Ruhr district, which France in- terpreted as violation of the treaty and sufficient reason for it to take control of German cities as provided in the treaty.
 This action prompted a protest by Germany and it failed to get the sanc- tion of Great Britain and threatened a disruption of the unity that has prevailed among the allied nations. In view of the situation, which might of course rise again, it is quite important that there should be early steps taken to forestall such possibility and such should be the outcome of the conference of allied pre- mers which is to be held this week at San Reno, There a working agreement for carrying out the provisions of the treaty should be perfected, while there arc other important matters which
 
 should be disposed of at that time. There is no reason to believe that Germany can force a breach between Great Britain and France on the en- forcement proposition. If treaty's pro- visions amount to anything at all they should be enforced If there are those provisions which cannot be carried out it is we'll to have an understanding as to i what they are and not let the inference be carried that because certain ones are not being lived up to others need not be It will be determined by this confer ence whether Great Britain, France Italy and Belgium are going to stand to, 1 gether as they did in the war or whether they are going to take different views relative to treaty enforcement and lei Germany get the benefit of the division Their experiences have been sufficient tc cause them to see the wisdom of united action.

THEODORE N. VAIL.

Many of the great inventors and or- ganizers have gone through the experi- ence Of having their ideas and plans laughed at when first presented only to see them develop into great successes be- cause they appeal and meet the needs of the people. One of these was Theodore H. Vail, of telegraph fame. Beginning his career as a humble telegraph opera tor he not only saw the great opportu- nify of the telephone but he understood how to make the most out of it, how to extend it and how to make it more pop- ular and largely to his great efforts Is the telephone what it is today Whe , he entered the field long distance tele- phoning was not much beyond the dis cussion stage. Today it is possible to talk anywhere in the country
 Mir. Vail was one who was able to look well ahead. He was an organizer of exceptional ability and he was equally efficient in the selection of able assist ants. In the great undertakings with VI ich he was connected, the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the Western Union in this country and | the tramway and telephone systems in ! Buenos Aires, Argentina, he has been
 eminently successful And this must ot l course be attributed to the man, fo, while he was dealing with important public utilities it was largely his guid- ance which increased their usefulness tc the people, and which brought the people in closer touch herewith.
 Energetic and alert to the opportuni- ties. he was ever pointing out new paths and presenting their advantages al l the most fitting time, he has not failed
 to keep his public spirit to the front. Ii has been manifested on all sides and ir | many ways and it is only natural that
 such a personality should hold 8 posi-
 tion of much influence in the estimation
 of his fellowmen. MT. Vail cannot fai

His person. al biography being hardly more than a catalogue of the offices through which he passed without leaving mark behind him. this must be mostly a story of the remarkable circumstances whose crea- ture he was.
 The Pollocl1s whose name, from be- ing pronounced "Poll'k," came finally to be spelled Polk, were among those immigrants from Ireland-lille the , Jacksons-who took up in America the resistance to British rule. which they had carried on unsuccessfully in their native island. The presidents grand parents, both the Folks and Knoxes, were Irish born and prominent in the revolutionary struggle in North Carolina When he was yet q boy. the family of James K. moved to Tennessee. where he was too fraiI for frontier farming and was put 10 work behind the coun- ter of a crossroads store. After a time in that excellent preparatory school of life he returned to his native state to enter college and he graduated from the University of North Carolina. Becoming a country lawyer. he was sent to the Tennessee legislature: mar ried Sarah Childress. daughter of a | well-to-do man of business and went to congress for fourteen years, in the course of which he became first the Jackson leader of the house and finally speaker.

NAMING THE END.

That the railroad brotherhoods have seen the need and advisability of work ink' with the railroad managers in get ting the outlaw railroad men back to their jobs is manifested by the steps that have been taken and the results all ready secured. There has been a de- cided improvement in the transportation situation in the past two days, but with the railroads booking new men to per- mauently replace those who have left their jobs. even as they gave notice that they would. it is to be expected that the situation will continue to improve.
 It has been shown. however, that the trains can be run even if those who left them are not in charge. There has been an eagerness on the part of those who can step into such well paid places to do SO. even though it is temporary, that railroad service may not be interrupted. This same disposition is being manifest cd in other strikes where the purpose seems 10 be to gain the demands. through the incouveniencing and injuring of the public. and the result is that public sen timent is not only plainly opposed but it is SO outraged by the unjustifed action that 1t will put forth the necessary effort to meet the situation in some degree un- tu the crisis is past.
 Not only is the public, the brother hoods. the railroads and organized labor ln general against the strike but the fed eral authorities have taken legal steps 10 punish those who are responsible Even this array of opposition has not Eucceeded in breaking the determination of certain of the outlaws. but with others ,sking their places, with the railway la hor board announcing that the strikers demands will not get special attention and the absence of any backing the end Of the holdup is not far off although il win require some little time to clear uT the congestion that has been created as the result of the stoppage.
 Tho strikers have caused much trou ble and caused hardships for many but lhey have lost a most unwise fight Whatever penalty they are made to pay Viu be fully deserved.

 Polk, himself, had no more than mod estly suggested that he would like Co be vice president So far as known, no one ever breathed his name in relation to the presidency until within twenty four hours Of his nomination.

On the open ing ballot he received a clear majority and he remained the only majority can didate who failed of nomination Jnil three-quarters Of a century ..fte.ward, when Champ Clark lost to Woodrow Wilson in another Baltimore convention.
 After seven ballots had been cast the Southern plotters against Van Buren obtained an adjournment for the pur- pose of matching their plot in the night. In those days when the states were call ed in their sec graphical order, New Hampshire was second on the roll and the delegation from that New England state was craftily chosen to spring the name of Polk Then came that now fa- miliar convention maneuver which is called a stampede. with delegates wildly chasing the bandwagon.
 It was in the first year of the tele- graph, and when the name of Clay was ticked off as the nominee of the Whig convention at Baltimore those wise l acres of Washington who still regarded Morse as an impostor said that the i trick was easy since any one could have guessed who the whig nominee would be Three weeks afterward. when the in ventor at the capital spelled out the name Polk as the democratic nominee, | the doubting Thomases were convinced that he was a fraud. The scoffed at such an absurdity and were not per suaded of the truth until the arrival of train from Baltimore.
 The new telegraph also served to car " back from Washington Silas Wright's g declination of the second place. to which that New York senator had been nominated as a consolation for the Van Buren men. and the convention had 10 choose another nominee for vice presi- dent.
 The whigs everywhere greeted the democratic nominee with the derisive inquiry. Who is Polk?" It stumped even loyal democrats. like the steam boat captain who faithfully shouted. when told the news: 'Hurrah for what'd'ye' say his name is?''
