Prejudice Against Clogs Among Poor
Is Giving Way.
London, Sept. 10.—(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)—Among the
many interesting changes that the
war is bringing in the habits of Lon-
doners is that the strong prejudice
against clogs among the poor in some
parts of the metropolis is giving way
before necessity. The fact accentuates
further the revolution in London’s so-
cial habits, and it is due to the great
increase in the cost of boots and shoes.
Clogs are dearer, too, but by only a
fraction of the cost of other footwear.
The absolute refusal heretofore of
te poor to wear clogs as reflecting
their feeling that they were a sign of a
disgraceful level of poverty or as the
stigma of charity has not until now
been overcome even by their free dis-
tribution to the children in the schools
by charitable organizations. Indeed the
most ancient and gaping pair of shoes
picked from a dust heap has been pre-
ferred to the best pair of clogs. Their
are one or two clog-shops in London,
one of which is commending them to
the populace as “Boots with wooden
soles”. Though their trade is small it
is increasing now. Large quantities of
clogs are being turned out by firms
in London, but almost exclusively for
the country or colonial trade. One large
factory here is turning out large quan-
Chihuahua City, Sept. 29.—More than
a hundred Villa followers were killed,
the bandit leader, Baudelio Uribe, was
taken prisoner, and heavy casualties
suffered by Carranza forces in a terrific

mining town about fifty miles south-
west of Chihuahua City, according to a
message received yesterday afternoon
by General Trevino from' General Ma-
tias Ramos, who was himself slightly
wounded.
Details of the fight were few and
were appended to the request of Gen-
eral Ramos for surgeons and medical
supplies. A hospital corps detachment

to the statement, is that title is con- •
ditional on the payment of imposts, or
merely “grants of privilege to exploit
land which primarily belongs to the
nation.”
It is issued on no other understand-
ing. Annullment of the title is ex-
cused as the only efficacious way of
dealing with the owners who fail to y
comply with the decree or to operate
their holdings.
It is pointed out that a law confis-
cating mines for nonpayment of im-
posts was passed in Mexico as far
back as 1892, a fact held to prove the
constitutionality of Carranza’s present
decree. K

of the Carranza government toward
owners of Mexican mines whether
Mexicans or foreigners. The statement
is issued in defense of Carranza’s de-
cree of May 1 of this year which, un-
der penalty of confiscation, lays im-
posts and working conditions on the
mines that have caused foreign owners
to make strong representations to
their home governments. These com-
plaints have been carried to New
London, where the joint commission is

El Paso, Tex., Sept. 29.—“Private
ownership of mineral property in Mex-
ico is in fact nothing more than a
species of rent of the subsoil, for
which the titleholder has to pay the
sitting. The ' statement makes clear
that the Carranza government will not
consider special pleas to escape the
effects of the decree and adds:
“According to article 11 of the min-
eral law of Nov. 25, 1909, now in force,
the most comptent man could be
found to fill it? \
“Rwo police women are looking after
the ’interests of women and girls, and
assisting with the straightening out
of domestic affairs. These women
work very quietly, but they are gain-
ing the confidence of the people and
are used very freely now for counsel
and advice. Their work includes su-
pervision over public parks, recreation
centers, dance halls, etc.
“There are weekly schools for po-
licemen and firemen to train and en-
courage to more efficient service.
“In the service department, some big
problems have been worked out and
others are under way. The water sup-
ply system has not kept pace with the
growth of the city, so that $493,170.16
have been spent in the past couple of
years for additional wells, pumping
equipment, distributing mains, etc. The
water is now self-supporting and bonds
are issued against this particular util-
ity for its own improvement and ex-
tension.
“A new garbage reduction plant has
just been finished, and it is figured
that it will earn for the city in the
year 1916, over and above its operating
expense, something like $17,000.
“A complete sewer plan is being
worked out, with the idea of eventual-
ly providing a sewage disposal plant.
“The eight-hour day was introduced
for city work.
“There has been regular ash and
rubbish removal, whereas formerly the
property owners had to look after this
largely themselves.
“There are seventeen public nurses
operating in the city, thirteen of them
supported by private contributions.
Please note, however, that they are
supervised by the welfare department
of the city. Where can one find such
co-operation under the old political
plan of government?”

TRY OIL OF KOREIN TO KEEP
WEIGHT DOWN, OR TO REDUCE
SUPERFLUOUS FAT.
People who are confined within doors
and who are deprived of fresh, invigor-
ating air and exercise must take pre-
caution to guard against over-stout-
ness, as fat acquired by indoor lite is
unhealthy and a danger to the vital
organs of the body. Lack of exercise
in the fresh air is said to weaken the
oxygen carrying power of the blood, so
that it is unable to produce strong mus-.
cles and vitality and the formation or
unsightly and unhealthy fat is the re-
sult.
If you are 15 or 20 pounds above nor-
mal weight you are daily drawing on
your reserve strength and are constant-
ly lowering your vitality by carrying
this excess burden. Any persons who
are satisfied in their own mind that
they are too stout are advised to go to
J. J. Schott or any good druggist ana
get a box of oil of korein capsules, ana
take one after each meal and one just
before retiring at night.
Even a few days treatment has been
reported to show a noticeable reduction
in weight, improved digestion and a re-
turn of the old energy; footsteps be-
come lighter and the skin less flabby
in appearance as superfluous fat dis-
appears.
Oil of korein is inexpensive, can not

! person who wants to reduce 15 or 20
! pounds is advised to give this treat-
ment a trial.

News of the fight also -was received
here from the telegraph operator at
Santa Isabel, who added nothing to the
report of General Ramos. The gen-

of that town to which the hospital

MMaterial to Make 600,000 Gallons a Day

New York, Sept. 29.—Increased in-

sibility of its substitution for gasoline
in the near future were discussed here
yesterday by chemists attending the
National' Exposition of Chemical In-
duimhesonly fuel in sight which prom-
ises to take the place or hold down
the price of gasoline is alcohol,” said
Dr. Arthur D. Little of Boston, who
presided, at the conference.
Dr. Little quoted figures to show that
from 1912 to 1915 the production of
completely denatured and specially de-,
natured alcohol rose from eight million
gallons to fourteen million gallons a
year. He asserted government restric-
tion was one reason, why there had
not been a greater production. He
read a letter from Arthur H. Comey,
chemist at the Dupont Powder com-
pany’s laboratory, in which the chemist
wrote: “Making alcohol from sawdust
is a great commercial success and will
grow accordingly.”
Dr. Little said that in the yellow
pine districts alone there is enough
material wasted to make six hundred
thousand, gallons of alcohol a day.

In his address at the city, auditorium
last night, under the auspices of the
Galveston Rotary club, J. M. Switzer
of the National Cash Register com-
pany and a member of the city com-
mission of Dayton, Ohio, lauded the
commission form of government as be-
ing an important step toward good
city government, but declared that it
had not altogether come up to expec-
tations. Mr. Switzer said that the
commission form of government, alone,
has not removed administration of
municipal government from the influ-
ence of partisan politics; that this
form of government has tended to di- l
vide and shift responsibility for the i
city’s welfare rather directly, and defi-
nitely place such responsibility, and
that it, therefore, did not make for
unification. The Ohioan told how
i Dayton and other cities throughout the
| country had progressed further by
adopting the commission-city manager
form of government, and in his talk
last night the speaker elaborated upon
the city manager system. The lecture
was illustrated with stereopticon slides
throughout. Credit was given Galves-
ton for having originated the commis-
sion form of government.
Dayton is a manufacturing city, and
Mr. Switzer made it clear that when
they began to look for efficiency and
economy in city work, they turned to
their industries where the greatest
progress had been made toward ef-
ficient results.
“Indeed, the industries of the coun-
try,” he said, “are certainly the nat-
ural places to go for information
along the lines of efficiency.” It was
for this reason that they endeavored
to work out a business plan of gov-
ernment, and finally decided to organ-
ize the city work somewhat along the
same lines as that of an industrial or-
ganization. As the board of directors
employs the best man that they can
get to act as general manager of the
business, and looks to him for results,
so the city commission employs a man,
who is fitted by training and exper-
ience for getting the best results, in
the position of city manager. This
centralizes authority and fixes respon-
sibility, so that there is no question
as to where to look for results.
“Another big advantage is that there
are no frequent election changes to
interfere with a program of work that
may be planned and carried through,
as politics does not enter into it.
“The Dayton charter requires that
there shall be a continuous audit of
the city’s accounts by an outside firm
of certified public accountants.
“The city budget of itemized income
and expense, is carefully drawn up at
the beginning of each year and given
a public hearing.
“No bonds have been issued for op-
erating expenses and the city has lived
within its income; whereas, other
cities of its size in the state have
gone farther and farther in debt.
“With an increased income of $38,-
000 in 1914 (the first year of its op-
eration), the commission manager
government gave increased service to
the extent of $139,000.
. “The purchasing department (a char-
ter requirement), conducted at an ex-
pense of $4,000, saved $33,000 over
prices paid for corresponding articles
in 1913, without lowering the quality.
“For the first time in several years,
the voters of the city approved a bond
issue, amounting to $1,000,000 for pub-
lic permanent improvement to be work-
ed out in the next two years.
SAVES MONEY.
“When the city manager found that
there would be a shortage of $169,000
in taxes, because of the distribution
made by the tax budget commission
among the state, county schools, and
city, in the fall of 1915, he called his
department heads together, and by*
avoiding unnecessary expenditure, and
making retrenchments along the line,
was able to close the year 1915 with
a balance of $48,500, which is a good
start towards making up the shortage
for operation in 1916.
“In the department of law, the
most important work done was to take
advantage of one or two legal ques-
tions ' that were raised in connection
with the new charter and establish
thoroughly, through the courts, the
constitutionality of home rule for Ohio
cities.
“In the safety department, there
was no head for over a year. The
city manager looked after the opera-
tion of the department himself, with
the assistance of his police chief and
fire chief. How many times would such
a thing happen under the old political
system—an office, paying a salary of
$4000 a year, remaining vacant until
United States Coast Guard to Use Pock-
et Lamps.
The United States coast guard has
adopted a® new system of signaling to
craft in distress by the use of pocket
electric flashlights. The new light will
permit signaling at greater distance
I than is possible with the old-fashioned
। red torch.
; The new light produces a flash that
can be seen seyen miles in good weath-
! er, although it is only slightly larger
i than the pocket lamps in ordinary use.
It is made of a heavy nickel-plated
barrel holding a dry-cell battery. A
parabolic reflector has fitted at its base
a six-volt bulb, with highly concentrat-
ed filament. Messages can be sent by
long and short flashes in the Morse
code.
Coast guard officers made a recent
test off the Virginia Capes in stormy
I weather, in which the Cape Henry
light, normally visible for twenty-
1 three miles, could be seen for only
I eight miles. The new pocket signal
could be seen four and a half miles.
