In the first flush of anger the family may talk of disowning their boy. But they love him, and if you give them time the anger will die down and they will begin to think how lonely and desolate they will be without him. And be- cause, they love him deep down in their hearts they desire his hap piness above their own. When they see that this depends upon his marrying you, they will with draw their opposition. So all that you have to do is just to be pa- tient and time will bring 1u your hearts desire.

Why men are so averse to giving their wives allowances is one of the mysteries of the masculine psychology that nobody can solve. It costs them not a penny more to give wife lump sum in her hand on the first of the month than it does to pay it on bills or dole it out to her a quarter at

State Department Justifies Course BY
Statement That Amer
icans Are In
Danger.

Washington. = Mexican troops
probably win be allowed to cross
a portion of the United States to
make war on the rebels who are
endangering American lives and
interests.
The State Department made this
announcement. 1t followed recent Of
information that the rebels have in.
vaded the Cerro Azul oil fields and
are seriously interfering with Amer.
lean commerce. The extensive Do
heny interests are in this district.
Granting the request rests with the
permission Of the Governors Of three
States through which the troops would
pass. Arizona and New Mexico have
consented. Texas has not been heard
from, but is expected to agree.
The State Department announce.
ment says
"The Mexican Government, through
its Embassy here, has requested per
mission Of this Government for the
passage OF detachment Of the Mex
lean Army, together with the animals
and other material which usually ac-
companies such a command. from
Naco, Ariz., to some point In Texas
where they will re-enter Mexican ter
ritory for service in regions in Mexico
where American lives and interests
are being threatened with grave
danger by the forces of the revolt
against the Mexican Government.
These troops will not be armed,
but their arms and ammunition will
accompany them as baggage. This
Government has transmitted this re-
guest to the Governors Of Arizona.
New Mexico and Texas and has re-
ceived favorable replies from the Gov
ernors Of Arizona and New Mexico.
No reply has yet been received from
the Governor OF Texas.
This Government looks favorabIy
upon the request Of the Mexican Gov
ernment, and in case 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 1915, when the de facto
Government OF Mexico. headed by
Carranza, was allowed to transport
Mexican troops from the Texas border
through the United States to the State
of Sonora, Mexico, where American
lives and property were. .in serious
danger from the oneration Of Mexican
revolutionary bands"
The reason for this troop movement,
1t is understood. is the difficulty Of
rail communication from the central
part Of Mexico to the seat of the re-
bellion. Such troops as are available
in this immediate territory are In line
OF battle against the fronts of two
rebel armies, one to the east and one
to the west Of the capital.
The northern part Of the republic
is normal, however, and troops may
be moved across the United States to
the northeastern section of Mexico,
where they may move by the shortest
route into the oil fields. This move
ment would also serve to flank the
rebels and compel them to divert a
portion Of their command, now oc-
cupying portions Of the railway be-
tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz.
