PIPE CLEANER INVENTED
B! VALDEZITE
Jones H. Kirk, of the Valdez Signal
Corps, has been granted natent right
to an invention which he hns worked
out to keep pipes clean of the snliva
and nicotine which accumulates In the
stem.
TJie object of the invention Is to
provide a simple device in connection
with the stem of the bowl which can
be quickly and easily cleaned and
which can be readily taken apart
when It Is desired to thoroughly clean
tho entire pipe. Other objects will be
apparent from the following descrip
tion :
The bowl of the pipe has a stem
j portion provided with a longitudinal
j bore terminating at one end under
the bowl, wile the opposite end of
i the bore is sligtly enlarged to re
ceive a divided metal tube which fits
snugly in the !>ore. The tube may be
' made of either German silver or
aluminum. It is slightly enlarged at
(the end which screws into a threaded
bore in the bit. When the tubular
member, through which the smoke
passes, is removed from the bore
the sides of the tube spring apart, al
lowing it to bo easily cleaned by sTmp
ly shaking the divided tube by means
of holding the bit between the thumb
and forefinger. The ends of the tube
having a tendency to spring apart
when being removed will also keep the
bore of the stem clean. When the
pipe is to be thoroughly cleaned the
sections of the tube are unscrewed
from the bit and fall apart. They may
be cleaned by washing in hot water
or any suitable substance of a more
simple way by merely wiping out the
inside of the tube with paper, thus
eliminating the use of a “broom straw”
or other similar methods commonly
used in cleaning tobacco pipes "which
all pipe smokers abhor.

! JOHN LIND TELIS WHAT BE EOUNB 1
j THEBE WHEN HE WENT INTO MEXICO jj
| For the First Time President ffl- Caascs Which l!a>c Been Respoo- jj
| son’s Representative Writes s*bbi T°r *be Conditions In < >
t of His Observations. tbe Troublesome Republic. j j
WHEN I reached Mexico on my
recent trip I found that the
section of country which I
have referred to as northern
Mexico was virtually nil in a state of
revolt against the authority which
Huerta assumed to exercise In the
south. Upon investigation 1 became
thoroughly convinced that the so called
revolution wns only In a slight degree
political In Its character, writes John
l.lnd, who wns President Wilson's per
sonal representative In tho republic
while Iluertn held the reins of gov
eminent there. In the Bellman.
It was urged by the Europeans gen
erally and by a largo element In this
country that the recognition of Huerta
by our government so that he might
borrow money to enable him to carry
on his war of sti!>dulng tho north more
effectively wns the only solutlou.
Nearly all the Americans In southern
Mexico were of that opinion. I met
and Interviewed most of them They
were very hostile In their comments
upon the president for not pursuing
that course. As they called on me I
usually asked them whether. In their
Judgment, uny pence that Huerta
might be able to bring about would be
lasting. The answer was invariably.
"No." And many would add that no
peace In Mexico could or would be
lasting so long ns Mexico continued to
be "Mexican."
I felt then, as I feel now, that per
ninnent peace In Mexico on the basis
of the social and economic conditions
that have existed In the past Is an Im
possibility. 1 will say, further, that 1
am now satisfied that even If Huerta
had been recognized and afforded the
opportunity to borrow all the money
that Europe would lend he epuld not
h ive established peace In Mexico. He
certainly had an abundance of money
as compared with the means nt the
disposal of the Constitutionalists. He
obtained In various ways and used up
ward of 200,000.(W0 pesos during his
brief career. But. notwithstanding, he
was tumble to mane uny substantial
headway against tIn* Constitutional
lists, though they were carrying on
their operations comparatively without
funds
Fearful Conditions Prevail.
Soul hern Mexico Is economically and
socially living under conditions shut
lar to those which prevailed In Europe
in the sixteenth century. The same Is
true In a degree with respect to north
orn Mexico But the people of that
section have been more assertive and
have secured Improvements.
The people of Mexico arc essentially
agricultural, hut they have been do
prlve.l of tlu> land. Probably less than
5 per cent of the families In Mexico
own Their homes. One of the flrst acts
of the Spanish conqueror was to dls
tribute the arable lands of the people
among Ids lieutenants and for church
establishments. Some small commu
nities In the remote sections or such ns
occupied less desirable land were left
tiudlsturlied. But as a whole the na
tion was made homeless and has so
continued to this day. This Is and will
lie the cause of revolutions In Mexico
until the question Is settled
The natives occupying the land were
awarded with tt to the conquerors as
serfs Bn ter they were nominally
freed lint they hn l no means of sub
sistence and no places for abode ex
Cept the miserable huts grouped out
side the walled lnclosures of the build
lugs on the great estates. Ill wages
they are paid 25 centavos per day and
given a small measure (about a ptnti
of corn. They are permitted to keep a
few chickens and occasionally a goat
or two. hut If they show the least In
•-llnatlon to Increase their possessions
their ambition Is promptly curbed.
The law of Mexico makes It a crime
for a person In the employ of another
to leave service while In debt to the
employer. Consequently the great

Influence of United States.
What Is true In respect to agricul
tural labor Is in a unasuie true of oth
er labor, except where labor conditions
and wages In the United States have
affected conditions In .Mexico. With
the development of southwestern
Texas, the grow th of mining Industry
along the Isirdcr and the exteush n of
continuous lines of railway to the
Isthmus, a new world has been thrust
upon the horizon of the Mexican of
the north. Instead of 2.j centavos he
Is able to earn it to 4 pesos a day in
the Texas cotton fields, on the Ameri
can railways and in the mines. He I*
able to get married In church, to have
his children baptized, to live Iti a de
cent house anil to educate tils children:
ami he does till these things
He has learned to read his own Inn
gunge and in most instances lias picked
up a little English The liettcr elrcum
staneed of Hit* northern Mexicans In
vailnhly learn English and educate
their children i:i the United States. It
Is these facts that make them rebels
against the conditions of tin* south and
of the old Mexico. The new leaven Is
at work, and no I>i:iz nor a thousand
Huertas, with all the money in the
world, could restore the peace of tin
old regime unless enough foreign sol
dlers were brought In to put the adult
Mexican population underground
The way the Mexican peon has re
sponded to these new conditions is not
only a hopeful sign for the future, but
it Is a marvelous demonstration of the
potential power of the race. A few
years ago the National Hallways of
Mexico—some 12.000 miles—were who!
ly operated by Americans. Today that
entire system, from division supertn
tendents to trackmen. Is In the hands
of [icons who a generation ago had not
heard steam puff.
Peon Pe$ponsive to Prop^res^.
They do the engineering, superin
tend nnd manage the shops, construct
curs, coaches nnd locomotives that
would do credit to any shop on tills
side of the line. Of course all of the
men doing this great work are not of
the peon class. Many are of the prop
erty owning, cultured class In their
case, however, the change Is equally
miraculous. A generation ago men of
that class would have lost caste if
they had turned their hands to a gain
fui occupation.
When l saw nnd reflected over these
things 1 asked myself and I asked
some of the critics of President WII
Son's policy whether It was not within
the range of probability that a people
who within a brief generation had re
spouded with such facility to the new
social and economic environment
might make equivalent progress in the
held of politics nnd government If nf
forded n fair chance. I am hopeful
yes, confident—that they will I do

TAFT’S ADVICE ON WAR.
Every Man and Woman Should Train
as Athlete, Says Ex - Pr esident.
"Prepare for wur by keeping phya
ii ally fit.” is the advice former Pros!
dent William H. Tuft gives in a 'ettor
to 1C K. Ultteuhouse. president of the
l,tfe Extension institute.
"There Is one method of keeping the
nation in a state of preparedness, ei
ther for the exigencies of war or for
practicing the nrts of peace." writes
Mr. Taft, "and that Is to improve the
physical fitness of onr people.
"It Is now a good opportunity to im
press on the people that the Impor
tance of physical training should not
be confined to West Point atul Aimnpo
iis nor to college athletics It should
tie our aim to have every citizen de
.-eloped to the highest point of physi
cal and mental efficiency.
"When war conics to the United
States It must be fought not altogether
by the picked young men who const!
tide our regular army, but to a very
large extent by the rank nnd file ol
our population. While Europe Is call
ing men to arms It Is altogether fitting
that we should call attention to th*
conditions on which our national
