In this period when mystery sto

popular forms of entertainment,
physicians look back at past ex-
periences of their own or those
known to the profession with the
realization that modern scientific

Roughleg the Hawk had come
down to the Green Meadows just ut
the beginning Of winter. His sum-
mer home was far north. Rough
leg was in the habit OF coming
every year. He always thought OF
the Green Meadows, down back Of
Farmer Browns. as his winter
home. Usually he Jared very we'll
down there. 1t was seldom that he
could not find mice enough to keep
him in good condition and very
comfortable.
But this winter there had been
one storm after another. and the
snow lay deep over the Green Mea-
dows. They we're very beautiful to
look at, were the Green Meadows,
now that they were all pure white.
That Is, they would have been very
beautiful for you or for me to look
at. but Roughleg the Hawk could
see no beauty to them. No. sir. he
could see no beauty in that snow.
Just as II it isn't hard enough
to catch mice anyway" grumbled
Roughleg. as he sat in the top Of 4
tall tree in the middle Of the Green
Meadows, where he could look in
all directions. Now comes all this
snow and buries everything. How
can l catch mice when ! can't see

a medico-legal inquiry was made
but it was not until two years after
his death that the exact cause was
determined. 1t then appeared that
his wife had given him large doses
of the drug at intervals Of about
three months. After each dosage
he suffered with cramps IN tne

which resulted ultimately in the
determination Of the fact that the
unusual drug which caused all Of
his hair to fall out was responsible
for the mans death.
The drug had been given not with
any idea of its effects on the hair,
but because it happened to be the
chief constituent of a rat poison.
The criminal probably would not
have used this drug had she been
aware Of its specific action on the
hair.

MEXICAN CHURCH
. PACT HELD TRUCE
Speaker Declares Settlement
of Religious Question Can
not Be Permanent.
BY the Associated Press.

=
WILLIAMSBURG. Mass, August 8.
The recent settlement between the
Mexican government and the Roman
Catholic Church is at best only truce,
an arrangement unlikely to endure,
Ernest Gruening, author of Mexico and
Its Heritage" an extensive traveller in
Mexico and editor of the Portland
News, today told the general conference
on Mexico of the Institute of Politics.
1T seems unlikely that this settle
ment can be permanent when one re-
views the long standing conflict be-
tween church and state and realizes
how dissatisfied the church is with its
present position" said Mr.. Gruening
by the present agreement the church
has gained no concession of major i'm
portance.
THE impression is widely current
throughout the United States that the
government, finding its task of keeping
religion away from the people an i'm
possible one, was forced to yield and
came to terms with the church. That
is incorrect.
Order Clergy Registered.
"Some time ago the church objected
to the governmental decree STIMULATING
that the clergy must register and that
only MeXicans by birth may be min
listers of religion. The church ordered
the withdrawal of the clergy from the
churches, expecting to create situa-
ton which would bring the government
to its knees.
when that did not result there was
nothing for the episcopate to do but to
make terms and this it very wisely has
done, but, under the terms OF the
agreement, the clergy agrees to come
back and register. Furthermore, re-
ligious instruction Is not permitted IN
the schools. Such an arrangement Is
sure to irk the church in the end.
Throughout Mexico I found little
regret among Mexican Catholics over
the absence of the priests; and one
worshipper even said no, like it bet
ter without them. It's the first time
I've been able to worship without pay
ing for it."
On Broader Base.
DR.. Frank Tannenbaum, author OF
"The Mexican Agrarian Revolution,
told the conference that the Mexican
government today rests on much safer,
broader. democratic base than 1t ever
has before.
THAT fact is due to the failure OF
the recent revolution" he said.
France has ceased to be interested in
world affairs and the export complex
scarcely exists in that country" Mr.:
Andre Siegfried of Paris, author OF
america Comes of Age" and economic
expert of the French foreign office, said
In an address tonight.
big business is a closed book to the
Frenchman, who is still as eager as he
was in the middle ages to create mas
terpiece and still old-fashioned enough
to linger over fine bit of work." M.
Siegfried said.
The Frenchman will not place MS
money at the disposal of the communl-
ty, will not give generously to charity,
and the typical Frenchman is indefa-
tigable when it comes to gathering In
the shekels.
