of cruelty to animals shipped locally to
which we made recent reference. With
cooperation between the papers on public

We have just beer favored with a copy
of Executive Order No, 6 of 1922 dealing
with the above subject. as follows:
The provisions of Executive Order No.

hosting of cattle, in process of shipment,

ARBITRATION PACT

Compulsory Mediation of Dis

A preliminary draft of a treaty of
arbitration to be submitted for ap-
proval of the conference as completed
today by the two reporters of the COM
mittee on arbitration, Dr. Enrique
Olaya of Colombia and DR.. Victor
Maurtua of Peru.
The draft provides for the compul-
sorry arbitration of all international
disputes of justiciable nature, cases
to which established principles of law
can be applied
Certain exceptions to the principle
Of compulsory arbitration are included
In the draft, however, principal among
them being:
Financial claims of an individual or
a corporation against government,
except where denial of justice is claim
ed: This would provide that no finan-
cial claim against a government would
be subject to arbitration until the ma
tional courts had rendered verdict.
Even then, however, the arbitration
would be limited to determining wheth-
er the case had been fairly tried. In
case denial of justice was found to
exist, only then would the case itself
become arbitral matter. If no denial
Of justice should exist the action of the
national courts would be final

peaceful solution of their border

1t read:
"News which has reached us

solution of the conflict may be
entrusted to arms.
LAS the representative on earth
or Him who with His advent
brought peace among men of
good will and as the spiritual
father of both peoples, both
very dear to us, we appeal to
your Christian sentiments and
those of your government and
people to do everything in your
power in order to spare your
countries and humanity the
scourge of war, of which it is
always difficult to measure the
consequences.
I'm this sense we pray and
and will pray to the Almighty,
and 1t is with this wish that we
send to you and your entire
people our paternal benediction.

TEN BAREFOOT CONVICTS
HUNTED BY BLOODHOUNDS
Twelve Escape Dark Cell in Texas.
One Refuses to GO Because
of Bad Weather.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BRAzORIA, Tex, December 10
Ten barefooted convicts were trying to
elude bloodhounds and armed guards
in the Brazos River bottoms near here
today after a break from the dark cell
at Clemens State Prison Farm.
Twelve of Is convicts confined IN
the dark cell cut their way through the
roof and escaped last night. The thir-
teenth refused to accompany the others,
because, he told the farm manager, the
weather was too bad" Two convicts
were recaptured early today.
The break was discovered at 5 o'clock
this morning. The convicts we're placed
in the dark cell for punishment and
their shoes taken away from them.
Farm officials felt certain that the
men could not have gone far from the
farm, as their progress barefooted would
be extremely difficult in the under
brush of the river bottoms.

tlement of Bolivia,s dispute with Para
quay, various popular movements for
national defense continued today. The
foreign minister. however, informed the
diplomatic representatives of other
countries that the troops guarding the
disputed district of Gran Chaco had
been ordered to suspend operations. He
said that this order was in line with
Bolivia's acceptance of the good offices
of the Pan-American conference, which
is meeting in Washington.
The popular funds being collected for
national defense were growing steadily.
Railway men banded together to raise
funds to buy airplanes for the army.
The La Paz Chamber of Commerce was
cooperating with the government and
helping to control prices and avoid
speculation in foodstuffs.
Three political exiles were returning
to take posts in the government and this
action was regarded as showing the
unity of the country in the face of the
emergency. Demetrio Canelas will be-
come minister of education, Ricardo
Martinez Vargas will become minister
of war, and Daniel Salamanca will be-
come adviser to the government.

Opportunity knocks more

No age limit on
success if you
keep fit

DEOPLE used to think that If you
Il passed up one chance to make
good, you'd never have another.
That if you hadn't made your mark
by the time you were 40. you nsOsv
would. That's all bunk" people
say today.
There's many a man who'll tell you
he was past so when he made his first
big success. Their experience runs
something like this.
I'D been going through life, always
just missing out on everything.
Worked like a dog, too. But never
seemed to get anywhere.
1T was a doctor who put me wise to
myself. Told me not to blame it on
luck. That the trouble was with me
right inside myself.
He recommended Nujol. I took it
for three months. Never missed a
day. And, say, I began to feel like
a younger brother myself. Decided
there was life in the old dog yet.
Still time to make good. When my
big chance came, ! was all ready,
waiting to grab it."

Just as Nature meant it to, under all
conditions. lisa pure substance that
