and there were six to each family
large baskets were provided. These
baskets are hung to the rafters of
the house in the day time so as to
be out of the way of the wives in
their cooking and the kids in their
playing. At night they are let down
to the floor, the kids stacked in and
then the baskets pulled up to the
rafters and tied.
The next morning the kids are low
cred to the floor, eat their meals
and go on about their work Or play.
The larger children sleep on a pal
let on the floor and the MeXicans
and their wives occupy the single bed
of the room.
Women Grind the Corn
The cooking is done on a small
gas plate. The Mexican women, true
to the habits acquired in the old
country, have their corn grinding
rocks, make their own tortillas, buy
the cheapest refuse of the butcher
shops and see that their families
thrive on corn mixtures, "gristles"
and soup.
The inspector complained at the
arrangements, but the Mexicans
shrugged their shoulders and said
they were comfortable. Their ar
rangements may be altered, however,
since the authorities seem to think
forty -eight persons are too many to
live in one fOJlr-rOOm cottage

REPUBLICANS WILL
MAKE QUICK WORK

CHICAGO May 29.-Decisions in
four of the contests among delega-
lions to the Republican national con-
vention probably will settle all of the
disputes, which involve 122 seats,
members Of the national committee
said today. Presidents in four ma
jor rulings will govern the points
raised in the other cases, it was said.
Clarence B. Miller, acting secre-
tary of the Republican national COM
mittee, arrived yesterday with the
briefs filed in Washington in the 1872
contests. The national committee
will begin consideration of them next
Monday morning and four days, it is
estimated, will finish all of them.
Aside from the contests in the
Tenth Minnesota (Minneapo1is) and
the Fourth and Fifth Missouri dis
trlcts, the contests are from south
ern states, with close fights indicated
IN the Georgia and Mississippi dis
trict disputes.

pared by Secretary Miller, follows:

EXCESS Delegates
Another sort of contest to be
handled by either the national COM
mittee or the state delegations in
volved is the elimination of fifty-six

10. Has a. real case of BLACK
snow" ever. been recorded?
IA. The London Morning Post
of January 20, 1911, stated that a
fall of black snow had occurred re-
in Switzerland. The 1ost reason
able explanation offered for this was
that in certain conditions Of weather
snow may take an appearance of
blackneSS which is quite deceptive.
It appears that after the snowfall
there was a slight thaw, and a very
fine rainfall. While it was still
raining, a piercing cold and dry
north or northeast wind set in and
froze the rain on the surface of the
snow. Underneath the crust of pure
ice thus formed there was a small
