| fired recklessly and wantonly into
many residences, business houses and
hotels, terrified women and children,
who miraculously escaped injury OF
death; seriously wounded the lieuten-
ant of police and murdered an inof-
fensive citizen.
When the record in this case was
presented to the President (Mr. Roose.
velt) all the soldiers denying partici-
patton in or knowledge Of the crimes
committed at Brownsville, he dis.
charged the entire battalion without
honor before the expiration OF the
term of enlistment, through the sec
rotary of war.
This action Of the President was
challenged as unauthorized by law. :.
/ took the position that the Presi-
dent was authorized to discharge the
soldiers without honor.
1t was during this debate that Sen.
ator Foraker Of Ohio, who opposed
the action of the President in dis
charging these troops, spoke disparag-
ingly of Capt. w. ]. Mcdonald OF the
Texas rangers, whom the governor OF
Texas had sent to Brownsville to in
vestigate the outrage.
Senator Foraker said:

Simple Way to Get
!. Rid of Bldckheadb

There is one simple. safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid Of
blackheads. that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces of calo-
mite powder. from any drug store
sprinkle a little. on hot, wet cloth
rub over, the blackheads briskly-
wash the parts and you will be sur
prised how the blackheads have dis
appeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads, no matter where they
are, simply dissolve and disappear.
Blackheads are simply a mixture Of
dust and dirt and secretions that
form in the pores of the skin, The
calonite powder and the water dis
solve the blackheads so they wash
right out, leaving the pores free and
clean and in their natural condition.

tract to plant 5000 hectares of cot

cotton growing as that of any portion
in the United States.
Several companies are being formed
to cultivate this land and it is ex-
pected that more than 5000 hectares
will be planted.

New records for both duration and
distance are more than likely to fol-
low as the result of the use of a
lighter gas with which to initiate the
balloons entered in the National
Elimination Balloon Race this year
than has ever been used in former
races, according to First Lieut.. Frank
Kehoe, officer in charge of gas &C.
tivities at the Air Service Balloon
and Airship School at Scott Field,
Ill.
In the race that starts from Kelly
Field on April %. hydrogen gas will
be used foc the first time in q ma
tional race, lieutenant Kehoe states.
He has come 70 San Antonio to han
die the technical end of the race anu
relieve First Lieut.. II. T. I:urt. who
has been ordered to Langley Field,
Va.
The use of hydrogen gas is made
necessary by the fact that the natural
gas in San Antonio has a lift of only
30 pounds to 1000 cubic feet. The
most desirable racing gas has a lift
of 43 pounds to the 1000 cubic feet.
Hydrogen gas, which has n lifting
force of 70 pounds to the 1000 cubic
feet, will be mixed with the natural
gas to obtain the desired lifting
force.
The use Of hydrogen gas also makes
it necessary for the gas envelope to
he made out of a different material
from that ordinarily used. Lieutenant
Kehoe states. A body of thin rub
Der is incorporated in the material
used. When natural gas or manu-
featured gas such as is used for H.
Illuminating and heating purposes is
used. ordinary fabric with several
coats of yarnish has been the material
ont of which the gas bag was made.
Lieutenant Kehoe will inspect the
balloons when they arrive in San An
tonic and will supervise the work of
mixing the gases during initiation.
