Moore Says Americans
Are "Money-Spending Mad"
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., April 25.—Amer
icans are accused of being a "money
spendlng-mad' people by Representa
tive J. Hampton Moore, of Pennsyl
vania, in a statement to-day endorsing
the American Society for Thrift, of
which Simon W. Straus, of Chicago, Is
president.
"The diamonds, rings, gold chains
and other articles of jewelry we bought
for our swethearts, wives and daugh
ters during the last five years," Mr.
Moore said, "foots up a total that Is
more than twice the sum spent by the
United States to construct the Panama
Canal. We are spending more than
$25,000,000 a year for chewing gum
alone. Our national tobacco habit
burned approximately $350,000,000
last year."
These remarkable figures are a few
of the reasons given by Representative
Moore for the high cost of living, a
condition which he deplores as being
unnecessary were the people to pay
some attention to the ordinary de
mands for economy and reasonable
habits of life.

Depend on Small Guard
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., April 26. —Amer-
icans remaining in Mexico City aie
entirely dependent upon the Huerta
government and the small guards
maintained at the foreign legations
for protection, it was said at the State
Department to-day. There are between
sixty and one hundred men attached
to the various foreign legations in the
Mexican capital armed with small
arms and machine guns upon whom
the Americans might depend. These
the department said would be effective
only against sporadic mob violence
and would be practically powerless
against general movement or any mob
attack which the Mexican government
might ignore. It was expected that
the Americans in the event of an at
tack would take refuge in the other
foreign legations.

Says Wilson Is Behaving
With Levity Unworthy
of a Civilized Raler
London, April 25.—While acknowl
edging that on broad grounds the ac
tion of the American Government to
ward Mexico is justified, the Nation to
day severely criticises President Wil
son for what it terms his giving as a
pretext for sruch action the refusal by
President" Huerta to apologize, in act
and form as prescribed, for the brief
detention of American bluejackets lri
Tampico.
"By singling out this incident," says
the Nation, "as an excuse for an ac
tion which amounts to war • » •
Dr. Wilson has done more to lower
the standard of international morality
thnn all his fine utterances in the past
have done to raise it. A statesman
who interferes to restore order may
argue that at some cost in lives anil
treasure he is putting an end to the in
tolerable violence and cruelty, but the
statesman who sacrifies lives because
some ceremonial detail is lacking iri
the ritual of an apology is behaving
with levity unworthy of a
ruler."
The Saturday Review says:
"We trust Congress will find mean*
to express the general view that now
that American troops have been land
ed in Mexico they cannot return until
i a stable and satisfactory government
|is established In Mexico City. If that
intention is avowed the United States
can feel certain that their action will
be watched with sympathy and ap«
proval by the other great powers."

How Many Soaps Can
You Name Offhand ?
This is not a new story, but
it is worth repeating.
A friend went to a large soap
manufacturer and said to him:
"See here, you are spending a
fortune In advertising. Why do
you waste your money?"
"How many soaps can you
name?" asked the soap manu
facturer.
The friend studied and named
six—all advertised brands.
"That's the answer," replied
the soap manufacturer. Out of
the hundreds of soaps made, you
can name only six, and mine
heads the list.
"I CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO
ADVERTISE."
That soap manufacturer was
a larger user of space In the
dally newspapers. He died the
other day leaving an Immense
.fortune and a name known from
one end of the country to the
other.
