Warning against premature rec
ognition of the new Mexican govern
ment has been given the administra
tion by Henry P. Fletcher, former am
bassador to Mexico. In a letter to
Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state,
he urges that in no case should the
recognition of the De la Huerta
regime be other than that of a de
facto character, with the understand
ing that even this would be withdrawn
should subsequent events prove that
it was prematurely extended.
Mr. Fletcher's letter resulted from
negotiations now in progress between
the state department and Dr. Iglesias
Calderon, Mexican high commissioner
to the United States, regarding recog
nition of the new government at Mex
ico City.
Dr. Iglesias Calderon has assured
the American government of the de
sire of the new regime to live up to
the obligations of a government, but
Jit. r letcner in jus letter suggested mat before any recognition was extended ■
an informal agreement he made with the Mexican authorities that American
citizens would not he deprived of their property rights without compensation,
and that such property as they were deprived of during the Carranza regime
without compensation would he returned to them.
He also urges the immediate constitution of g mixed Mexican-American
claims commission. This commission should adjust all claims of American
citizens against Mexico and of Mexican citizens against the United States.
English as She Is Taught, but Not Spoke
NEW YORK.—Don’t get seared when
you read this—unless you have
been too successfully violating the
Volstead act. It’s merely two ques
tions put to the students of the
Teachers’ college here in the gradu
ating examinations:
“If ontogeny invariably ingermi
nates pliylogeny, circumscribe the
word giving the location of the Ourcq;
if not, underscore the word that lo
cates the mandible.
“England Foot Utah Face Peru
France Ann India.
“If your answer to this question
were to be construed as an index of
your intelligence, what is the best
you could do under pressure?’’
The which suggests that it’s no
wonder English is fast becoming the
universal language. So many ways
of saying the same thing, y'know.
Now, if you were a foreigner just
learning English and grabbed a dic
tionary and undertook to translate, a
little casual work would possibly re
sult about like this:
If the history of the individual de
velopment of an organism always uni
formly shoots the history of genealogi
cal development, draw a line around
so as to touch at certain points with
out cutting the spoken sign of a con
ception exhibiting as a product the
process of locating the Oureq; if not,
draw a mark under the single com
ponent part of human speech that sets
in a particular position the anterior
pair of mouth organs of insects, crus
taceans and related animals.
England Foot Utah Face Peru
France Arm India.
If your defense to this objection
were to be explained as to its gram
matical construction as a table for
facilitating reference to topics, names
and the like in a book'of your news,
what is the most nearly perfect being
you can execute under a constraining
impulse?
Pin Money Propositions
THERE are women in every com
munity who would like to earn
pin money by some means that will
not interfere with their home duties,
In the larger cities there are “short
hour” women employed in the shops,
with hours from eleven in the morn
ing until three or four in the after
noon, who find they can manage their
household affairs and go to business
too. But their homes are usually
small and convenient apartments in
which housework is reduced to a
minimum of effort. The same oppor
tunities do not come to women in the
smaller towns and villages or on the
farms. In the larger communities
also there are opportunities of mer
chandising in a small way. Some
women, familiar with millinery, do a
thrifty little business' in the spring
and fall of the year, buying and sell
ing hats which they display in their
own homes. Waists and neckwear
prove worth while for others. A busi
ness of this kind is usually conducted
by women who have had experience
in a store at some time.
About the most salable of all things
are good foods'. Women who excel in
any direction, as in making bread or
cake or preserves, jams, pickles, or in
canning fruits, have an opportunity to
build up a permanent source of in
come If they can introduce and mar
ket their products. Many of them are
* usuig the parcels post for shipping di
rect from country to city. The first
requisite is to gather together a few
customers, and this must be done
either through solicitation by mail or
by pers'onal solicitation. A friend will
sometimes undertake to place farm
products among her acquaintances in
the city, and after the producer gets
in touch with a few regular customers
these can be asked to recommend
commodities to their friends. Pre
serves, jams and pickles, being less
perishable than fresh fruits and more
profitable, ought to prove interesting
prospects to women who excel in mak
ing them.
Women who live near the main
traveled roads used by motorcar tour
ists often pick up considerable money
during the summer months selling all
sorts of eatables to the passers by. A
signpost at the side of the road di
rects the hungry and thirsty motor
party to the wayside refreshments.
Sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, bread
and butter, doughhuts and cookies are
conveniently handled. Women who
find themselves near summer camps
for boys or girls can usually arrange
*■"* 1 " 'T»> f
to furnish supplies of some sort to
them.
Besides these usual means of pick
ing up pin money there are opportu
nities for women who own and drive
cars. In summer and winter resorts
they get together sightseeing parties
and take them on short motor trips
that yield a pretty profit, or they es
tablish a regular trip carrying people
to and from certain points. Women
have proved themselves quite equal to
driving motorcars in all parts of the
country. Some young women have a
very happy faculty for entertaining
children. They undertake to look
after a number of little ones one or
two afternoons in each week, releas
ing mothers from their care for a
brief time. The children must be
brought to the home of their enter
tainer and called for. She provides
for their amusement and gives them
any attention they may need, for a fee
By looking after a number of them
regularly the income is worth while.
Some women and girls are success
ful in soliciting subscriptions to peri
odicals and books. Some do well sell
ing merchandise, as stockings, corsets,
embroideries, among their friends. In
considering the matter of making pin
money it is necessary first to take
stock of one’s accomplishments to de
termine what work is easy to excel in.
Women who know how to plan all the
details for entertainments, luncheons,
dinners and parties are in demand in
thickly settled communities and many
of them turn their gifts to good ac
count.
The Modish Overblouse.
A boon to limited incomes is the
modish overblouse, which may be made
in all lingerie types and, aided by a
single skirt, gives the appearance of
many different frocks. One of the
smartest versions of a more elaborate
garment was developed in heavy filet
mesh, hip length, dyed jade green. The
neck line was influenced by the present
oriental mode and reached in straight
beaded bands from shoulder to shoul
der.
