GONZALES BARES PLAN

Early the present month, General Gonzales, then in Laredo, Tex, dis closed the existence of plan to over throw the Mexican government. but said he had nothing to do with it di- rectly or indirectly.
 T consider as very laudable,'' he de- clared at that time, the purpose of those Mexicans who seek as their highest aim the salvation of my coun- try, menaced as 1t is by the bad man. agement and inconceivable turpitude of those men who have seized the rens of the administrations"
 General Gonzales then admitted 1t vas his understanding that he would be approached and offered the leader- ship of the movement. In this com nection, he said;
 Tn the event that I accept the com mission, which is within my inmost right, l shall certainly continue to respect the law of neutrality of this hospitable country, the cradle of hu- man liberties"
 CAPTURED BUT FREED
 General Gonzales was captured in July, 1915. by federal forces near Monterrey as the intellectual head of sporadic revolts. After short time, his unconditional release was ordered on the ground that he no longer con- stituted peril to the administration. He arrived at Laredo, Tex, early in August. Later he sailed for sEurope and subsequently returned to Laredo.
 Pablo Gonzales in turn has been minister of communications, command CT of the constitutionalist forces in Mexico City and for period of three weeks in May 1920 he was in virtual personal control of the administration of national affairs subsequent to the evacuation of Mexico City by President Carranza. He is best known as the conqueror of the state of Morelos. which he wrested from the Zapata rebels after they had held undisputed possession for nine years

CRUEL PERSECUTION
IN PHILADELPHIA
Demand Upon Authorities to
Extend Protection to Vic
Tins of Outrages.
Philadelphia Ledger,


There ought to he no rela xa ton in
the announced purpose of Director
cortelyou TO cancel the licenses OF the
ice. milk and other food purveyors who
have made themselves parties 10 the
UNANIMOUSLY cruel persecution of the
sick and helpless children of the
Cramp workmen. OF course. there will
he technical and legal difficulties I'm
fastening upon these dealers the guilt
OF discrimination against the families
OF the workers; hut these difficulties on
ly should serve to intensity the ieterm-
nation of the authorities 10 protect
the innocent in their rights and TO put
an end TO a regime that ls disgrace
to civilized community.
IL already is being urged In exten-
lution of the boycott as practiced by
these dealers that they are themselves
the victim of coercion and intimida-
ton by the strikers and that IL Is not
they but their agents who are the
guilty ones. TO this there can he but
one answer. They are. Of course, re-
sponsible for the actions of their
agents: bat in a larger sense they are
fulfilling a function that differs only
in degree from that Of the public util-
ities. They are charged with the dis
tTibution of necessaries of life. "
they are unable by reason Of violence
or intimidation by the strikers and
their sympa thizers to discharge their
responsibilities, then they should have
appealed To the police. Or failing In
securing protection, they should have
refused to make themselves party TO
a brutal and inhuman wrong. BY en-
ga ging in the boycott. however, they
have deprived themselves Of any
claim to popular sympathy. They
have made themselves allies OF crim-
inals and participants in crime SO
infamous that one would have TO
search the annals OF barbarism for
its parallel.
In urging the police to deal drastic
ally with the boycotting milk and ice
and food vendors in the district in
which the Cramp strikers have estab-
lished a reign of terror, il is by no
means TO be implied that they should
relax their efforts to reach and pun
ish the instigators of the boycott. The
boycotting dealers. however, are known
and within easy reach. BY making
an example of them il may be possible
to strike the enemies of humanity and
Of fair play blow from which they
win find it difficult to recover For
these rea sons the Director of Public
Safety the law officers OF the city and
all who have TO do with this problem
should face il with courage and deter
mination. This is not a time for falt-
ering nor for hesitation over techni-
calities of procedure. A cruel wrong
is being done. and the honor Of Phil
adelphia Immediately is concerned in
it's being righted and its perpetrators
brought 10 justice.

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampcos
contain too much aIlSali. Uaiea IS ve4y
Injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to Use is MGlsi6ed
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
nd entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all 10
pieces. You can get MuIsified at any
drug store, and a few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub ii in. about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich. creamy lather.

easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,

every particle of dust. dirt and dand-
ruff. Be sure your druggist gives you
