THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1011.
J
ARE DOING
THE "war piiuo'' on tlie Mexi
can bonier Is now in full
swing. At Cuuip Sam Hous
ton, near San Antonio, and at
tho other camps along' the border
drills and maneuvers are the order of
the day. One of the first tasks was
the llcldng into slmpo of the "raw"
soldiers, approximately 1,000 of whom
reported for duty. Another prelim
inary was the hardening of the Ameri
can regulars for Held service, flen
eral Carter Issued orders that the re
emits were to have immediate in
struct Ion In target practice, and the
brigadier generals commanding bri
gades wer Instructed to see to 11 that
their commands wore "In every way
prepared for the Held."
A provost guard to see to the proper
deportment of the troops has boon or
ganized and has orders to assist the
San Antonio police whenever neces
sary In preserving order among the
soldiers
A squadron of the Fourth cavalry
has been summoned by General Carte-
to do patrol duty at Camp Sam
Houston. Oencral Carter Is not tak
ing any chances on a repetition of the
affray that occurred In Galveston re
cently. when some of the soldiers as
sembled there started trouble.
There are about 15.00(1 men with
money In their pockets swarming In
AT THE FRONT THE FOURTH
EL
the questionable San Pedro district of
San Antonio on the night of pay day.
Mexicans and negroes live beyond the
little irrigation ditch which bounds
Ran Antonio's red light quadrangle,
nnd every opportunity offers for some
soldier wltti his pay liquidated to start
something. Up to the present there
have been few arrests of soldiers, and
tho provost guard, composed of men
of the Twenty-second Infantry, who
know the town, has had little work
on Its hands.
The Fourth cavalry has been In
camp at Fort Rllss, near El Paso,
where Hip remainder of It outside of
the squadron In question will doubtless
remain From there It has been doing
patrol duty along the border
Americans Well Treated.
While the suspension of the constitu
tional guarantees In Mexico amount to
the proclamation of a mild sort of mar
tial law, under which offenses of a eer
tnlu sort are punishable by death after
a very abbreviated trial at the scene
of capture, the United States govern
ment Is taking steps to Insure not only
the fair trial of Americans already cap
tured by fjie Mexican federals, but to
see to It that these prisoners are treat
ed according to civilized methods.
The truth of tho matter seems to be
that the two factions in .Mexico nro
vying with each other In their efforts
not to antagonize the United States,
Every report of the capture of a town
by tho Insurgents Is accompanied by
the official statement that the lives and
property of foreigners, especially Amer
icans, have been scrupulously guarded.
The attitude of the federal govern-
India Has Aerial Mall.
Many letters In the Indian mall re
delved recently at London bear the
postmark, "First aerial post, Allaha
bad, 1011." Special mall was carried
by aeroplane from tho United Prov
inces exhibition, on the outskirts of
Allahabad, to the general postofllee In
that city and then forwarded In the
nsual way. In future times when tho
aerial mail becomes as common as the
telegraph this first nerlal post may be
come ouo f history's milestones.
D
CAN
EE
ON THE BORDER
meut Is made plain in the treatment
It promises the American prisoners,
though probably under n strict con
struction of the suspension act they
are amenable to the short and sharp
rigors of the IEomau law.
Meanwhile it Is unofficially stated
that with the American army along
the frontier, shutting off the insurgent
source of supplies, General Diaz will
make a great effort to stamp the insur
rection out. So far he has been unable
to concentrate any large force upon
Chihuahua because of the danger In
other quarters. Tlx; need of a person
al bodyguard for the aged president
also held several thousand troops idle
In the City of Mexico, while the rebel
lion In Yucatan and other widely scat
tered points has kept the army from
mobilizing.
It is not believed, however, that Gen
eral Diaz's move against the insur
gents will mean any overwhelming in-'
crease in the regular force now in Chi-
huahua and Gouora, though the expec
tntlon has been expressed all along
that once the American contraband
ceased to enter the country the fed
erals would not be long In strangling
the uprising.
None of the officers of the various
state militias who are to join the army
in Texas for the purpose of receiving
instructions In military maneuvers are
CAVAIJIV AT FORT RUSS, NEAR
PASO.
to report to the Instruction camps be
fore April 1. It was announced at tb
war department that the adjutant gen ,
erals of the state militias will not 1
be eligible to take part In the in
Hlructlons and that none of the other
officers will remain. Each officer from
the udlltla will be attached to an of
ficer of corresponding grade and from
the same arm of the regular service.
Every Soldier His Own Doctor.
The medical supply depot of the
army In New York has forwarded to
San Antonio and Gnlveston -10,000 spe
cial emergency medical kits for the
individual use of the soldiers hide
lKJiidontly of the medical staff in the
Held. One of these kits will be Issued
to every man, nnd each bears explicit
instructions as to its use.
They are small and compact and
contain medicines, absorbent cotton
for the treatment of wounds, court
plaster, surgical plasters and band
ages. It Is realized that the medical
staff. In tho event of an army epidem
ic, would be wholly inadequate to cope
with the situation, and tho emergency
kits are provided for such a contin
gency. Tho opinion Is growing In all quar
ters that tho only purpose of sending
the American troops to tho border was
for tho purposes of drill and field ma
neuvers, as stated by President Taft,
and for police and patrol duty in pre
venting American aid from crossing
tho Hue to support the insurrectos. If
this proves to be tho only object the
mobilization will yet bo worth while,
as It will prove an Immense help to
the discipline of the army.
Clark Sends Seeds to Widows.
Champ Clark, tho new speaker of
the .house, has sent n consignment of
garden seods to be distributed by his
friends, especially among tho widows
of his home district. Ho adds that the
names of the widows are not on his
mailing list and also states that tho
packages can bo remalled without
postage, as ills frank will carry them
to tho widows free. It is understood
that the new speaker Is doing this with
the nimrovnl of his better hulf-
'i
TO PHOTOGRAPH IDEAS.
Workings of 'the Brain Can Be Pic
tured, Asserts Eminent Psychologist.
That photographs of human thoughts,
pictures of tho ideas that pass through
the brnin and are Inter expressed in
words, may bo taken on dry plates or
films, developed and kept as records
of mental processes constitute the lat
est "wonder of science, for which n
wide and startling usefulness is pre
dicted by Dr. Max Baff, eminent psy
chologist of Clark college, Worcester,
Mass.
"We hear that such experiments
have brought surprising results when
carried on by Japanese savants," says
Dr. Baff, "and it seems to mo that tho
next thing is for us to go into the mat
ter in this country.
"As a method of taking such thought
photographs a capital way would bo
to expose the film in a vacuum tank
and have tho subjects whose thoughts
are to be photographed placed near the
tank, oven with their heads against it.
To develop tho film roll after It had
been unwound In darkness with a pair
of subjects thinking on a given sub
ject while it was being unwound would
show extremely interesting results. It
is a matter for close investigation and
should bo taken up in a long series of
carefully conducted experiments."
ASKS $15,000 FOR KISSES.
Manicure Who Sues Salesman Also Al
leges That He "Mussed Her Up."
Miss Nellie Etheridge, who owns a
manicuring establishment in Kansas
City, lias filed suit against Charles It.
Decker, in which she nsks $1,j,000
damages. Miss Etheridg.0 complains
that Decker forcibly kissed her and
"mussed her up."
Miss Etheridge values four kisses at
$2,500 apiece, and the $5,000 balance
is for what she described as the
"roughing" Mr. Decker gave her in
the process. This "roughing" consist
ed in bending her across the arm of a
chair with such force as to burst her
corset nnd forcing her chin up with
his elbow. Miss Etheridge says she
was under a physician's care ten days,
suffering from strained muscles and
nervous shock.
Ho Beat Her.
A woman said to tho railway sta
tion ticket agent angrily:
"Look here, sir, I've been standing
before thU window twenty-live min
utes!" The agent, a gray, withered little
man. answered gently:
"Ah, madam. I've been standing be
hind it twenty-five years."
Evolution.
Brown Do you believe in tho theory
of evolution? Black Sure thing. For
six years a young fellow named Jones
has been calling on my daughter, and
today she became Mrs. Jones. Judge
KICK
Have you a kick coming ?
Is there anything'that displeases you ?
Are you unhappy and need cheering up ?
Has any little thing gone wrong ?
Tell us your troubles. Let us help you ?
For each of the three best kicks each week, The Citizen
will give a brand new orlsp one dollar bill. Don't kick too
long. 50 words to a kick. No limit, however, to the num
ber of your kicks. You don't have to be a subscriber to be a
kicker.
Open to everyone alike, men, women and children, subscribers and non-suli-scrlbers.
Old and yountr, rich mid poor. Heniember two cents a word for the
three best kicks.
There must be something you don't like.
Kick about it. What good is an editor any
way except to fix up the kicks of his read
ers? Relieve your mind and get a prize!
! KICK !
A few suggested subjects at which to kick! The weather, of course.
Tight fitting shoes. The high cost of living. The hobble skirt and tho
Harom trousers. High hats on week days. SuffragiBm, etc., etc., etc. Tho
tunnler tho better.
Several people have asked us if the fifty-word letters containing kicks
have to be signed. How else will we know to whom to award tho prizes?
Whether In the event of tho letter winning a prize and being published,
the name of the kicker would appear is another question. Undoubtedly
the writer's wishes would bo followed on that score. Our idea of the
"Kick Kontest" Includes everything except direct and offensive personali
ties. Sit right down now and dash off fifty words about anything you doitit
like and want to register a kick against. It won't take you five minutes
and you may win a prize. The more original the subject the better chance
for a prize. One dollar for less than five minutes work Is pretty good pay.
Of course you can make your kick as short as you wish. A clever fifteen
word kick may win a prize over a full-length fifty-word one. The shorter
the better,
For the best kick of ten words or less The Citizen will pay an additional
prize of one dollar. Now then, lace up your shoes and let drive!
CARRIED 13 ON ONE TICKET.
Conductor Objected, but Mother Show
ed Family Bible.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scott of nigh
land, Kan., nrc seeking a home in Ok
lahoma. Tho Scotts have been mar
rled not quite ten years and are the
parents of nineteen children, thirteen
of them living, nil boys under five.
Recently when Mrs. Scott and her
thirteen children boarded a train with
only one first class passenger ticket
tho conductor protested.
"Madam, you cannot entry a whole
Sunday school along with you on that
one ticket," he said, "and you need not
tell mc these are all yours."
Mrs. Scott dug down into her valise
and brought out the family Bible. In
which were recorded tho names and
i ages of each of tho children. Tho con-
1 ductor had to give In.
The ages of the Scott children are:
Triplets, four and one-half years:
twins, three and one-half years; trip
lets, two and ono-half years: triplets
eighteen months; twins, six months.
UNWRITTEN LAW UPHELD.
I Vermont Judge Refuses to Hold Girl
I Who Slew Assailant.
Judge F. G. Slnnerton of the munici
I pal court of roultncy, Vt, refused to
j entertain a charge of murder against
I Carmeln Covlno, a young girl, who ad
mitted snooting to aeatn rorty-uvo-year-old
Lulgi Vermlllo in defense of
her honor.
The judge at the conclusion of a
five hour hearing declined to hold her
for trial.
Vermlllo, who had a wife and five
children in Europe, was n boarder in
tho homo of the girl's father. Carmela
H in her teens.
"What is this charge against mc?"
the girl said. "In my country I'd have
the right to shoot a man who Insulted
mc. America is more free than Italy,
they say. Well, this man attacked me,
so why could I not shoot him? He In
sulted me, and I shot him."
I Examine Students For Hookworm.
! Students at Wofford college at Spar
' tanburg, S. C, who do not pass their
' examinations will get a medical exam
ination by experts on the hookworm
In order that it may be determined
I whether or not they are suffering from
j that disease. This plan was decided
I on by the faculty after a lecture by
, Dr. J. D. Ward, a member of the Rocl:
1 efellor commission for tho eradication
I of tho hookworm. Dr. Ward declared
that the dullness displayed by many
Wofford students was not necessarily
due to mental Inefficiency, ne said
that students suffering from hookworm
could not be expected to do well in
tlielr studies.

ment was made recently by Secretary
Morlcy of tho Motorboat Club of
America shortly after he had received
through the malls the formal chal
lenges of the Royal Motor Yacht Club
of Englnnd nnd tho British Motorboat
club for the trophy. Acceptances of
the challenges have been forwarded
to Englnnd.

three boats will be built here to de
fend the trophy won last summer by

Jouls under the new rules that It
makes the game uninteresting.
Tho Tank.
Friend (to confirmed loper) I don't
see how you can drink so much. It's
shocking. Toper It shocks me too. It
surprises me. I suppose it's Just luck."
To give awkwardly Is churlishness.
Tho most difficult part is to give. Then
why not add a smile? La Bruyoro.
