M> U. S. PRESTIGE LEFT IN MEXICO! i t ? Mining Engineer Knox Tells Senators < It Has Been Destroyed by i k Washington Policy. Washington, Feb. 3. ? Because W Francisco Villa "reserves all rights i to robbery and loot for himself," his s operations are looked upon with favor , t by the population, the senate com- ;? raittee investigating the Mexican j -situation was told today by Henry _ s H. Knox, a New York mining engi-c neer. Mr. Knox said he had had' t twenty years' experience in Mexico. ? c u "Villa establishes a certain rough . * mm justice," Mr. Knox said, "whenever' " ?5? or?

His lir3t act is to close : a the saloons. j e jtt "No one else is allowed to rob,} W -and Villa contents himself with mak- r j ing a levy on classes of the popula-; t tion able to pay, saying the money is t to go to his 'cause' and giving a re- t ceipt.

BE SEEN THIS MONTH FIRST TIME SINCE 1S80 I ! This Very Exceptional Happening J Will Not Repeat Until 1948? j Today Likely to Be Cloudy. j j Atlanta Constitution. February, remorseful over the' * t fact that $he has short-changed the ; world for centuries on the number of' days she handed out, will this year j try to make up for the loss by! doing the rather marvelous stunt of i vlealing five Sundays?a pat hand of j Sabbaths?before she passes the i chronological deal on to March. I This business of holding a five-; Sunday February is quite exceptional: 1 T *- 1 ? 1 , i tn calendar circles, it nci{;peutru ic.ai, in 1880. when the German emperor! was still invited to English tea parties j and wood alcohol was poison and not! a beverage. The next time the world w%ill eat cold supper five times in! February will be in 1948. Calamity . howlers say that by that time every ilay will be Sunday, and that it won't ? make any perceptible difference in the consumption of nut sundaes. The main effect that the quintuple | Sunday month has this time is that j it gave everybody a twenty-four hour start on bill collectors. Because if February makes good on the five- j Sunday proposition she has to wait until a leap year, then begin and end j her reign with a Sabbath. Next month the bill collectors will start out on the same day as the washer- j I woman.
