MEXICAN OIL TRADE DOUBLES
Shipments for Year 1920 Expected to
Exceed 125,oo0,000
Barrels.

Mexico City.-Figures showing that
oil shipments from Mexico doubled
since the first of last year have been
published by the department of indus
try and commerce, which records Oc-
tober shipments Of 1901 900 barrels.
as against 1S,O61.2S9 barrels in jan
uary.
These figures are striking in view
of the fact that in 1901 Mexico shipped
out 10,345 barrels and in 1910, 1884,
600 barrels.
Shipments in 1919 totaled S7,O72, 954
barrels and there is reason to believe
that this years shipments will amount
to more than 125,G0O,O0O barrels.
Announcement was made recently
that United States petroleum compa-
MES have just Paid the Mexican gov
eminent more than 100000 pesos
in taxes.
1t is estimated that the petroleum
industry in Mexico represents a value
of $700,000.000 gold.

LOSES $1,000 BY "B0x N
st. Louis Saloonkeeper Is Reduced to
Perjury by Series Of
Robberies.

st. Louis.-John Cicerich, proprietor
of a saloon, was swindled out Of $500
in cash and $500 in Liberty bonds by
two men who worked the ancient "box
watching" game on him in a room at
the st. Francis hotel. Cicerich sew
eral months ago was robbed in his sa-
loon by bandits and more recently two
strangers with whom he took a walk
robbed him Of $500.
He told the police a stranger had
asked him to see a friend who was
dying in the St. Francis. In a room
there Cicerich saw a man, fully
dressed, writing on a bed. The first
man explained that the mar on the
bed was dying and that he wanted to
leave his wealth to an honest person.
Cicerich agreed to prove his honesty
by drawing all his money from the
bank, and was made beneficiary Of the
estate" The dying" mar placed a
cloth-covered package into a metal
box, which was to receive Cicerich's
money also and be deposited in the
bank. The key to the locked box was
given to Cicerich by one of the swim
dlers. At the bank Cicerich discovered
that he had been duped. Both men had
fled. Cicerich declared he was now
penniless.

GIRL ASKS 100000 BALM
Artists Model Says William Barbour,
Thread Manufactures, Beat and
Tilted Her.

New York.-Robert Barbour, son Of
the late Col. William Barbour, founder
of the Barbour thread mills, and him
self a manufacturer of thread in Pa
terson, N. J., appeared at the office
Of Sheriff Knott and filed a bond of
$500 to assure his presence in court
at the trial of the action brought
against him by Miss May B. Rollins
for 100000 damages.
She charges him with having brok-
ELI a promise to marry her and with
having beaten her when she was in his
apartment. He denies both allega-
tons.
Miss Rollins is said to have been an
artists model in Brooklyn, before she
met Nj. Barbour. In her complaint
she alleges that he invited her to his
apartment ON July 10 last, bound her
hands and beat her with a rod, stick
or whip" Afterward, she adds, he
repudiated his promise of marriage.

WON NAME BY INGENUITY
Humorous Description of How Phrase
"Wise Men of Gotham" Had
Its Origin.

The phrase, "wise men of Gotham"
ain into being in a most peculiar
manner. Gotham was a small town in
Nottingham, far from the usual COM
merce Of old England's highways. King
John, at the head of a goOdly company,
decided one day to so journey that lie
would pass through the town. In those
days the passage of a royal retinue
through a village meant numerous
hardShips for the citizens. The kings
guards demanded food for man and
beast, and generally forgot to pay for
it. In addition, horseshoers, car
penters and other tradesmen were
called upon to do various work with
out any return. The citizens therefore
devised a scheme to turn their king
from his path.
When his majesty came within a
mile or so of the hamlet he met vari-
Gus citizens engaged in the most out
landish pursuits. One was attempting
to drown an eel, another attempting
to drag the reflection Of an early
evening o from a pond with the
aid Of a rope, another was building
a fence around a cuckoo that had lit
on q bush, and a fourth was attempt
ing to sharpen a sword on a bit of
cheese.
The king decided at onc that the
village was a gathering place Of mad
men. and ordered the route changed,
and his troops and gentlemen passed
around the supposed haunt of lunatlcs.
From, this came the local proverb:
more fools pass through Gotham
than remain in it,"

paper. This classification does not in
clude anything but notes having a ma
turity of longer than 80 days. 1t will
be noted that there has been a steady
increase in these holdings since the
beginning of the present year and that
this increase has continued after Octo-
Der of the present year, while in 1919
normal reductions from the high Sep

"The increased holdings of agricul-

gust Of the present year, represent in
the greater part paper held under re-
discount for other Federal Reserve

the incompleteness Of the figures in
the first table applies with equal force
to the figures in the table showing the

Regulations governing the inter
state movement Of live stock, which
become effective on and after July ! !,
1921, and which supersedes previous
regulations on this subject, have been
published by the United States De-
partment Of A Agriculture. For pur-
poses of ID lion these regula-
tions are designated as B. A. II l(Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry Order 273.

cular prescribe for, the inspection, dis
infection, certifcation, treatment,

which is subject to interstate COM
merce. The enforcement Of the regu-
lations is assigned to the Secretary
Of Agriculture by acts of congress.
Their purpose is to control the inter
state shipment of live stock, and pre-
vent the spread of diseases. Includ-
ed in the publication are acts of
Congress relating to this subject, gen
eral provisions, and regulations to
prevent the spread Of the following
diseases: Splenetic, southern, or
Texas fever in cattle; scabies in cat
tie and sheep; dourine in horses and
asses; hog cholera and swine plague;
and tuberculosis in cattle.

Full-Time City Nurse.

Lake Charles, having had public
health nurse for nearly year, has
decided to employ her for full time,
the commission council and the city
school board appropriating $1,000 each
for her work, says the New Orleans
Item. The example of Lake Charles
should be an inspiration to other COM
munfties. Nowhere in Louisiana has
the agricultural depression been more
keenly felt, but the plucky little city
surrenders no ground it has gained
for the health, comfort and conve-
nience of its people through mis-
taken sense Of economy. The request
for the appropriation was made by the
largest taxpayer in Lake Charles and
in commenting on the application, the
mayor said he hoped it would be un-
derstood that the citizens themselves
were carrying on the work and fur
nishing the funds. Many, he said, had
a mistaken idea that the Red Cross
is paying for it. In her nine months
work, the Lake Charles nurse made
1856 professional visits, had charge
Of 279 cases, cared for 19 sick and
$50 well babies. and made % health
talks to girls societies.
