It related to the interference of the Carranza government in the operation of American owned oil properties in Mexico, and was prepared by Chairman Payne, of the shipping board, upon Information furnished by representatives of Mexican oil producers. Chairman Payne also- sent a letter to Secretary Lansing urging the state department to take action toward protecting the American owned oil properties in Mexico. fha itnnnarn of drilllnr of new

Senator Fall's memoranaum on wb "Bolshevistic activities of the Carranza government in the United States, and Chairman Payne's memorandum showing one of the practical effects upon our social life of Mr. Carranza's neighborly attentions." Loneliness Overcame American Bride of Japanese Husband On a quiet little backwater byway, Just off the main stream of Cleveland's busiest business street, Is a quaint little Japanese art goods store, exotic with the flowering expression of the oriental craftsmen, and the odd conceits of ancient cultures. Just a year asp, a pretty young gin, dark' eyed and dainty, wandered down this byway, seeking Just such a strange bloom among the unwonted turmoil of the bustling city. She was Ruby Stivers, product of' a dull little Ohio village, and the rigid sectanarlsm of Ohio Wesleyan university, and a newcomer to the city. Gleaming out of the -winter dusk, the fancies in the shaded windows had a strange attraction Thov aroused in her a strain
of dark mysticism, never far below the surface. She entered. Behind the counter was a quiet olive skinned clerk, gentle, , polished and attractive. He Bhowed her this and that, as . she sought a little gift for her brother, whom she was visiting. But her deep eyes more often sought those of the Japanese clerk. It was love at first sight. Kipling s dictum notwithstanding. East and weBt met in romantic communion. They were married and moved to Detroit. ....... Today Ruby Stivers Fushiml is dead. The strain of dark mysticism had been rising beyond her control for the last few months, and she shot herself at the door of the rooming house where she and her Japanese husband lived. . Whether memories of what the holidays might have meant, had she been back home in the little Ohio village, led her to take her life, no one knows. Her husband. Sadojro Fushimi, clerk in an art goods store here, cannot explain. But it seems that her odd mental twist must be responsible. For several months her husband hod foitrnd for her safety. According
to Mrs. Ellen Stelhia, the landlady at their rooming house, he was ac.otnTTid to call her several times a
day to reassure himself. And the po
lice also knaw of her strain. Several times in the last few months she had .nmni9inH tn them that someone was
following her on the streets, and that
CONGRESS WILL BE ASKED TO TAKE ACTION ON NEW JERSEY SHIP CANAL
Route of Atlantic coast inland waterway from Norfolk, Vs.. to Boston, Mass., with Great Lakes connection. The dotted, line between New Yqrk and Philadelphia is the proposed New Jersey ship canal. Among the matters of wide general interest which will be called to the attention of congress at the present session will be the need of an appropriation for the New Jersey ship canal, the only remaining uncompleted link in a chain of inland waterways from Norfolk, Va., to Boston, Mass. A committee representing the interests back of the canal will try to prove to congress that the requested appropriation is not a mere slice of "pork," but is for the completion of a great national waterway, which will benefit the entire country through its vast intracoastal commerce.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAM8 DAILY TALK HAVING SOMETHING TO DO Youth is glorious I Because It has something to do all the time. Interest Is the heart of work. Unless you love the things you do, you do them only half. And gradually as the years creep up and close in unon you, you find interest dying out and work a kind ot drudgery. But by having something to do all the time that you want to see done life truly grows Into a happy adventure. So whether it be play or work have something to do all the time. Time brings new things every hour and day. Your failure to use your eyes is sure to cost you many a hoped for thrill. Whereas the Idling of your mind and hands bring only regret and "remorse. Get up, to out. Search. Find something to do right where you are. As the spirit of the great Cecil Rhodes began to creep into endless sleep, these were the final words that dropped from his lips: "So little done so much to do!" Always have something USEFUL to do.
ISSUES POGROMS AGAINST THE JEWS
War Min ter PetrofL War Minister Petroff of Ukralnla is the man charged with being responsible for the issuance of progroms against , the Jews in that country. Jewish people all over the world i -e stirred to a high pitch at thii tmie by reports of the persecution of their peoplo in Ukrainia, Poland and other states in Europe. Protest meeting ,and parades are being held through out the United States to arouse the sympathy of the public and halt the persecutions.
she had been threatened with death, but her stories could not be proved. Her husband had several times hidden the little revolver with which she shot herself, but late at night she
arose and after complaining that she could not sleep, stepped out of the room. A moment later the Bhot was
heard, and her husband found her lying at the front door.
In her hand was a note addressed
simply "brother.' It said only that her "husband was the best pal I ever had, and don't blame him for this." Fushiml wired the Cleveland authorities to inform the brother.
The husband was released after he
told his story to the prosecutor. He is 35 years old and his wife was 27.
Bigamy Increases in
England, Despite Laws
It seems clear that heavier sen
tences have not frightened the biga
mists. Once again their crimes are the main feature of the trials at
assizes now proceeding throughout
Great Britain. At Worcestershire assizes recently Mr. Justice Rowlatt
declared that "half the crime of the country is bigamy." At the Old Bailey, London, the bigamy cases accounted for more than 25 per cent of those in the list. It has been said that this indicates a widespread relaxation of public
morals,
morality of these persons was low and feeble before the cataclysm of 1914. The war provided the requisite temptation. It made bigamy profitable. Women "married" to obtain the separation allowance; soldiers discovered in the allowance a means of provision for clandestine partners. Then soldiers thousands of miles away from home deceived respectable women rather than face the lurking perils of the streets. Among offenses not arising out of 'war conditions are those committed by men and women as the result of ill assorted unions early In life. In this class la the Ignorant woman who remarries in the belief that a 7 years' separation without sight or knowledge of the missing partner is sufficient presumption of his death. This ignorance is being dispelled. There are many, too, who formed illegal ties because divorce was expensive and out of their reach. From the Continental Edition of the London MaiL

sometimes at 200 miles. But no exact, measurement Is possible because presumably It thins oft Indefinitely into space. We do know, however, that half of Its entire mass Is below the three-mile level, and that Its density is halved for each three miles of ascent Thus at a height of 100 miles there must be very little of it If it were possible to build a tower 100 miles high, and to make observations from the top of it, the view of the heavens would be extremely interesting. The sky, tn broad daylight, would not be blue but black its beau

Beheld from an elevation of iw muee the lunar orb would be brilliantly white. Even from the surface of the earth, with the aid of a powerful telescope, . the stars are seen to be of different' colors. In this respect they vary ac-. cording to their age and consequent, temperature. They are, of course, suns. A sun In its youth is yellow; in its old age blue. It would seem, then, that, owing to the veil of dust-laden and moistureladen gas by which our view ot the sky is obscured, our notion of what the heavens really look like is altogether incorrect In addition, the atmosphere even on a clear day shuts off a good deal of the light and about one-third o tbe beat which the sun delivers to this planet this heat by the way. being only one twl-bllliontb part of the total emitted by the solar luminary.

Schools of City Prepare Christmas Music Plans
NO ROAD SUPERVISORS. The usual election of road supervisors for township roads will not be held this year, as the office was abandoned, by a law passed by the last session of congress, said J. O. Edgerton. township trustee, Thursday. The trustee has full charge of the township roads, under the new law, and works under the supervision of
the board of county commissioners.
But obviously the standard of Edgerton said.
