Machine Weaves Baskets.

There is a machine for weaving
baskets which, it is claimed, has great
ly simplified the making of wicker
goods. The weft is set up and made
to revolve against stationary shuttfes.
The wicker is wrapped on spools at
the side of the loom and threaded into
It by means of a tension wheel. Be
fore starting the loom on its rotary
motion the stakes, or weft, of the
basket are placed in a permanent
position.
As the machine revolves the warp
Is drawn from the spools on the side
of the loom over the tension wheel
and into the stationary shuttles. Just
before the revolving stakes reach the
shuttle. star-shaped wheels pass them
alternately to either side of the shut
tie and thus interlace the warp. AS
the warp leaves the shuttle mechan-
icai fingers grasp it and pull it down
to it's proper position. The fingers
are operated by cams that permit them
to pass behind the shuttles. With
this machine man can produce a
perfect basket in 20 minutes.

Oil Strike Made at Craig

Craig, Colo.-Oil fever struck Craig.
Excitement in this town is intense, fol-
lowing the circulation of reports that
the Texas Production Company has
struck oil in its well, sixteen miles
south of Craig, on the Hamilton dome.
Citizens, stopping work, braved the
cold to rush out to the well, hoping to
see oil shooting into the air in car
load lots, and others formed in line
to storm the company officials here
to question them but such investiga-
tions proved unavailing. An air of
secrecy has been thrown about the en-
tire matter here and at the well, and
the exact status of the bore is in
doubt.

BORDER STATES WILL ALLOW

CROSS BOUNDARIES
ARMY TO CROSS STATES
oBREooN ASKS STATE DEPART
MENT FOR PERMISSION TO EN-
TER UNITED STATES

Washngton.-The State Department
announced that the government of
President Obregon had requested per-
mission for detachment of the Mex
icvan army to pass from Naco, Ariz.,
to some point in Texas, where they
will re-enter Mexican territory for
service against the revolutionists.
The American government has made
request for such passage of troops of
the governors of Arizona, New Mexico
and Texas.
In a statement the State Depart
ment said:
"The Mexican government through
its embassy here, has requested per-.
mission of this government for the
passage of Il detachment of the Mex
lean army, together with animals and
other material which usually accom-
panies such a command, from Naco,
AriZ, to some point in Texas, where
they will re-enter Mexican territory
for service in regions in Mexico where
American lives and interests are be-
ing threatened with grave danger by
the forces in revolt against the MeXi-
can government. These troops Will not
be armed but their 'arms and ammuni-
ton will accompany them as baggage.
"This government has transmitted
this request to the governors of Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Texas, and has
received favorable replies from the
governors of Arizona and New Mex
leo. This government looks favor
ably upon the request of the Mexican
government and in case a favorable
reply is received from the governor
of Texas, this request will be granted.
"Similar permission has been ex-
tended in the past, the last occasion
being in October, 1915, and again in
November, 1918, when the de facto
government of Mexico, headed by Mr..
Carranza was allowed to transport
Mexican troops from the Texas bor-
der to the state of Sonora, Mexico,
through the United States, where
American lives and property were in
serious danger from the operations of

Interior Is Hodgepodge Department

the Department of the Interi~r spends
each year $250,000000 of the taXpay-
ers' money on account of past wars.
This sum goes to the 256,91S soldiers
and the 290,09S dependent survivors
of soldiers of the wars from 1872 to
and through the Spanish-American
war. This is exclusive of another half
billion which is being paid out by the
veterans bureau, an Independent
agency.
Total expenditures of the Interior
department in the fiscal year 1923
were $354,623,o69, larger than those
for any other branch of the govern
ment except the veterans bureau and
the War department. The department
has 5,551 employees in Washington, l.
200 of them at the Government Hos
pital for the Insane. The field force
is 1892, making a grand total of en-
ployees of 1S,493.
The department, however, has one
money-making branch. 1t is the pat
ent office, which was transferred from
the State department. 1t has revenues
of nearly $3,000,O00 a year, and ex-
pendltures are 100000 less. The Of
flee employs LOCI officials and clerks

SCIENTISTS WARN
AGAINST SHOE DYES
Several Cases of Aniline Poison
ing Reported.

That shoes dyed with materials con-
tanning anillne or nitrobenzine will
poison the wearer unless they are al
lowed to dry at least t1Sehty-four
hours before being worn, is pointed
out in an article on Poisoning From
Shoe Dyes" written by Prof. A. s.
Loevenhart, chairman of the depart
ment of pharmacology at the Unlver-
sty of Wisconsin, and @. w. Muehl-
berger, state toxlcologist. for the
Chemical Bulletin.
During the last six months several
cases of aniline poisoning due to the
improper use of leather dyes have
come to our attention" Doctor Loe-
venhart and Mr.. Muehlberger write.
similar cases involving nltrobenzine
have been reported. In such instances
the poison is absorbed through the
skin when shoes are worn very soon
after having been dyed"
A person affected by such shoe-dye
poison becomes blue within a few
hours after putting on a pair of fresh
ly dyed shoes, and the blueness is par
ticularly noticeable at the lips and
fngernails. Gradually the whole face
and body assume n blush or purplish
hue, which may be accompanied by
nausea, dizziness and headache, and
there is also a general physical weak
ness The effect of the poison gradu-
ally disappears after the shoes are re-
moved and in several days the skin
assumes it's normal color. That some
less toxic solvent could be substituted
for aniline or nitrobenzine, and be as
satisfactory, Is the writer's opinion.
"The present method of dyeing
shoes is a constant menace to public
health. There are shoe-shlnlng par
lors which advertise Shoes Dyed
While You Wait and there have been
reports of cases where the dye was
applied to shoes while they were being
worn. Dyes containing aniline or nj
trobenzine should be allowed to dry
at least twenty-four hours before the
shoes are worn.
"The danger of such poisoning
might be reduced If the manufacturers
we're required to place warning labels
and adequate directions upon the con-
tainers in which such dyes are sold.
The only way the present method OF
dyeing shoes may be made safe, and
'foolproof' is by removing the highly
dangerous poisons which are readily
absorbed through the skin"
