TheFuKonCountyNewslJUpiflgO McConnellsburg, Pa. ELIMINATING SPACE. Of devices for the 11 tut nutiuii of pace there in no end. There cau be none, until the pcoplo stop progress tog. Occasionally a project Is pro poned of more than usuul dnrlng. The particular prize for which the com mercial world lb now striving lit the trade of South Amorlcu, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. North Amer ica and Kurope 'ach want the bulk pf It. The natural advantage which Uds continent possesses hai o far been more itian balanced by Euro pean aggressiveness. And now Eu rope propones to cut In two the time Distance that separates her from the Object of her commercial longing. It U figured that five days are long enough to transport European goodl to South American consumers. To itubllHh such a schedule Involves en gineering and financial difficulties which may, of course, llnally prove Its Impossibility. By reliable parties the 'ibero-Afro-Amcrlean railway ll proposed, first, to cross Spain to Gibraltar, where ferry boats will trans)ort trains to the African coast; thence run to Ilathhurnt, the nearest point to South America. From Ilath hurst to Pernambuoo, Brazil, Is but a three-day run for fast steamers. The cost of carrying out this project, daring as It seems, would be but a mere fraction of what the United States alone Is paying for the Pana ma canal. And a half dozen Euro pean nations would be benefited by It. It seems by no means Impossible. An unusually peculiar damage suit bas Just been decided In New York by which the widow of a fire chief bas been awarded $:!f,000 for the Iobs of bis life In a furniture establish ment Are. The chief fell through an open well hole In the building into a cellar half filled with watr and was drowned before he could be rescued. The open well hole was lo violation of a city ordinance. This suit, with Its large damages, will help to em phasize the highly Important fact that such ordinances are Intended to pre vent Just such accidents, and that dis regard of them leads to criminal and civic liability when a life Is lost. There are many ordinances of the kind held lightly In regard until a fatal accident shocks the authorities Into enforcement. Since It has been decided to estab lish municipal baths for the million at Coney Inland, other and ever more ambitious plans for its Improvement have been formulated. These include a continuous walk and drive along the entire five miles of Its water front, and a new bulkhead line, which bas been authorized by government engineers. A contract has been let for a rip-rap wall, forty feet thick at its basti and twenty feet at the top, surmounted by a concrete walk. This will protect the Inland from those periodic Invasions by the At lantic which have frequently been quite dcHtructlve. All of which Is expected to attract a higher average of patronage than the resort has hith erto enjoyed. The br.rbers of Annapolis have ap pealed to the secretary of the navy to compel the musicians in the Acad emy band who have opened barber shops "on the side" lo abandon com petition with local tonsorlal artists. From the consumer's point of view there may be poor expectation of get ting a velvet shave from the hand that hammers the bass drum, al though this Is offset by tbe prospoct of an expert massage from the nimble-fingered flutist. Possibly tbe bar bers, per se, may force the Issue by carrying the war Into Africa, form a band of their own and serenade the commandant at unwonted toun. Alfred Olraudet, professor of oper atic expression at the Paris Conserva toire, says that he knows therj must be good voices somewhere In the United States, but that three-q Jarters of tho Americana who apply for in struction In singing are terribly handicapped by never having studied plano-playlng. If the gifted French man's statement increases tbe num ber of young Americans who take les ions on the piano, he will Incur the resentment of folks who live next door. A rertaln minister of tbe Gospel hailing from New Zealand advocates a plan to tattoo the chins of married women to distinguish them from their unmarried sisters. If a mark were tattooed for every marriage, some of our society queens would resemble picture galleries. A 25-oent piece was recently taken from the foot of an elephant In the New York Zoo, where It had been se curely bidden till the creature's dis comfort over Its 111 gotten wealth be came apparent. The animals must be catching graft from the humans. Books on poultry raising are said to be among those most frequently call ed for In the New York Public Li brary. The people who expect to get rich on chicken farms are not all lo cated In this vicinity. The department of agriculture haa Invented a cheap horse food consisting of cocoanut and peanut meals. It would be more In keeping with the times to invent a cheap substitute for gasoline. INTERVENTION NEAR Sust Cease Jeopardizing the Lives of Americans. SITUATION GROWING SERIOUS Cemmanders of the American Forces at the Several Places Instructed to SaeThat American Cities Are Not Endangered. Washington, U. C President Taft Is determined that battles between Mexican federalists and Insurrectos shall not be fought on American soil. He Is equally determined that the lives of American non-combatants hall not bo endangered by the forces Of President Diaz and thoso of Cen tral Madero. Future combats be tween the rebels and the forces of the Mexican government must not be fought out so close to the American line as to put In Jeopardy tho lives and property of Americans. The Mexican government, accord ing to the view at the State Depart ment, will be held accountable for the loss of life and Injury to Ameri cans In Douglas during the fighting at Agua Prleta. No matter whether the Are of the federals or that of the Insurrectos Inflicted the Injury, It will be the federal government to which the United States will look for reparation. As soou as official reports upon the fighting and the casualties sus tained by Americans shall have been received, ropressutatlons will be made to the Mexican government, it la said, and in due course the claims f those injured will be presented. BRITISH FORCE LANDS Great Britain Takes Initiative In Foreign Intervention. Washington, D. C. A force of 30 men and a maxim gun from the Brit ish man-of-war Shearwater were landed at San Qulntln, Mex , to pro tect that town against a threatened attack of Insurgents. Tbe revolution ary movement, however, did not ma terialise, and the Britishers and the gun wire withdrawn. This, the first actual landing of foreign forces on Mexican soil In con nection with the present revolution, was reported to the State Department In a telegram from American Consul fSehumrkor at Ensenada. The tele gram did not state Just when the landing occurred. When all danger to San Qulntln from the Insurgents had passed the Shearwater sailed for Ensenada, and her commander advised the Ameri can consul of tho action he had taken at San Qulntln for the safety of the town. San Qulntln Is a port of Low er California, about 125 miles south of Eiisenadu. Slate Department officials say that the landing of the British force was not an unusual occurrence In connec tion with Internal disturbances In I.atin-A merican countries. They de clared that numerous precedents for tho procedure of the Shearwater could be had. POLO GROUNDS BURNED National League Park in New York Partly Destroyed. Now York.

Washington, D. C. A government "nursery" Is proposed In a bill Intro duced In the House by Representa tive Barnhart (Democrat, Indiana), to authorize the formation of a "baby bureau" In the Department of Commerce and Labor. The bill provides for a head of the bureau, who shall be a practical au thority on children. The Investiga tion of conditions of child life, child labor, child health, schools, Juvenile courts and child desertions are to be undertaken by the bureau. Reporti of these Investigations and all the activities of the bureau are to be published and distributed. Representative Barnhart said: "I believe that the government has other and more Important missions than the fixing of tariffs and the fi nancial and Industrial development of the country. The Department of Agriculture has bureaus at work In vestigating the breeding oT animals, poultry and birds. About the only thing we now neglect Is the building up of a race of healthy, sturdy hu man beings." SIX KILLED IN STORM Property Damage of More Thad $3,000,000 In St Louis. St. Louis.

PROPOSED INCOME TAX IS 111 EI0UB7 Eighteen States Have Not Rati fied Income Amendment. SHORT TIME LEFT FOR ACTION The Approaching End of Legislative Sessions Indicates Meas ure Will Fall For the Present. New York.--Favorable legislatlv action on the proposed Income tn amendment to the Federal Constitu tion is lacking In 18 of the 40 States. The legislatures of 28 States have ratified the measure. 7 have rejected It, 2 have adjourned without action and In 9 States tho matter Is still pending. In five of these favorabUi aotlon is expected and In four the re sult is problematical. The figures are the result of a canvass of the various State capitols to determine the status of tho pro, posed change In the Constitution. As t lie amendment does not become effective until ratified by three; fourths of the States, or 3", Its adopt tlon during the present sessions of, the State Legislatures, now nearlng adjournment, seems unlikely. The Proposed Amendment. The resolution, which was passed by the United States Senate, July 5, 1909, and by the House of Repre sentatives July 12, 1909, provides for this addition to the Constitu tion: "Article If..- The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxei on incomes, from whatever soured derived, without apportionment among the several States, and with out regard to any census or enumera tion." Of the nine Legislatures In which ratification of the proposed amendi ment Is pending, that of Florida hat referred the matter to committee without discussion; in Minnesota the House has acted favorably, and similar action by the Senate Is pre dicted; at Albany neither bouse hns acted this year; In Wisconsin the resolution has passed In t'le semhlv and awaits action In As- the Senate. A inie Of See-Saw. Opposition to the amendment In Connecticut hns blocked the resolu tion In committee. While advices from Hartford Indicate that thn House may approve, the result In thfl Senate Is uncertain. In Arkansas the House recently adopted a resolution approving the amendment, but the Senate rejected It. The matter will come up In Massachusetts this week, and whilo favorable action in the House Is ex pected, the prediction Is made that the Senate will defeat the measure. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania the matter Is still in committee. The Louisiana Legislature defeated the measure at last year's session. The new legislature will convene In May, 1912. and the measure may then lie passed. SORRY TO PART WITH HILL Views of His Resignation at German C"pitfil Merlin.
