WASHINGTON, June 28.-A Gu
rioUs combination of circumstances
has thrown an atmosphere Of mystery
about the sudden outbreak Of bandit
kidnapings in Mexico. which has
awakened both interest and suspicion
in Official. diplomatic and congress
sional quarters here.
Carried out to its logical conclu-
sion, this curious sequence Of events
would rather plainly indicate that
agencies are at work again TO force
American intervention In Mexico, or
st least. throw further obstacles in
the path OF recognizing the Oregon
government. Big oil companies are
being used as a means to the end.
Felix Diaz in Washington.
Gen. Felix Diaz. mentioned as
possibly leading a new revolution in
Mexico against Oregon. has visited
Washington; has been dined with
Congressman. Senators and Admin
istratton officials.
The curious phase OF this kidnapping
outbreak lies in the fact that both
occurred on the same day in widely
separated districts. both involved oil
men and. according to Mexican Of
fcials here. both apparently were
directed by the same man-General
Gorosabe.
General Gorosabe IS a lieutenant Of
General Pelaez, who. in turn, is an
agent Of General Felix Diaz, accord
ing to Mexican authorities.
The last heard from American Of
fcials in Mexico by the State De
part-nent as regards either the
Bielaski kidnapping or the Cortez
kidnapings We're dispatches dated
1Ionday-anOther curious thing.

And out of it ambled a cat,

And wore a tin plate for a hat.

Your POcketbOOk

Even in hot weather you IRE interested in money-how to get more
dollars, how to get more out Of each dollar.
It costs you S55 now to buy what cost 500 in July, 1914. This Is
the latest report Of the national industrial conference board, which figures
that a wageearners cost of living is So per cent higher than pre:war.
Some things have dropped in price more than others.
A shotgun that costs 90 cents in Germany enters our country and is
sold to a consumer for SIS.
A bird cage sells for $12O in Germany. crosses the ocean and an
American goes into a store and pays s1 for It.
These and similar cases are observed by Senator Watson Of Indiana
The buying power Of our dollar seems to vary with the parties that
are doing the buying, even making allowances for the costs of distribution.
How about the German workman who produces these cheap prod
ucts? He is Working for low wages-Hving o. the equivalent of 40 cents
a day in American money, according to Congressman Ira c. CopIey, who
recently has been touring Germany.
You ponder all these facts. and are apt to come to the logical CON
cudon that something is wrong with the system Of money, since the
dollar IS like a yardsick that measures three feet in one place and
three inches in another.
Considering its peculiar and uncertain behavior. it is small wonder
that money is as hard to catch as a creased pig.
Money is the most imperfect Of mans inventions.

Palestine. and that en- earlier date
must therefore be sought for the exc
dus. With tho single exception OF
this inscription. there is no mention
whatever Of Israel in the Egyptian
records. and nothing is known in re

settlement in Egypt or the length Of
their s@ojourn there. All theories on
this subject are based upon little mora
than pure conjecture.
Q.-Are bees ever raised for their
stings? Is the business profitable?
What are the stings used for?

The stings are put up in alcohol and

A-The North Star IS not visible in
Australia Throughout the torrid
zone and for a considerable distance
on either side. the "Dipper" does rise
in the northeast and set in the north
west. AS one goes northward beyond
Lat. 40 degrees y, the altitude OF the
North Star above the horizon becomes
greater than the polar distance Of
any Of the seven stars that compose
the "Dipper," and the consequence is
that the constellation in its daily
