RULES FOR HUNTING There are a gTeat many fatal accidents happenning to hunters that could be avoided by more carefulness. Some one has suggested the following rules that if observed would prevent many accidents. Every man who carries a gun into the field this fall should obey the following rules: Never shoot at anything until you know what it is. Never carry a loaded gun in a vehicle or boat. Never point a gun at any human being. Never drink intoxicating liquors when hunting. Never darw a gun toward you muzzle first. Down at Miami, Florida, they have, or had a person who is an oddity.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS The Atlanta Constitution sent one of the ablest men of the staff, Mr dames A. llolloman, to investigate conditions in Mexico at first hand. From one of his letters this extract is made that gives some sight as tc the real situation. There is no government in Mexico The Carranza regime is merely tin the revolutionary party at presen in charge of the government machine, rv; and maintained by the same forci of revolutionary arms that put i there. There are not less than 100,00< revolutionists in action and ready fo action in various parts of Mexico, bu at present the leaders with one c> _ I t i _ ^ i CHJ I TMi Mil' WntlMlM i i I i ; Unusual In h | i I I | i I I i i The Premi II II II II II II II II II II j I i I ception, are far apart in their factional differences. The lack of co-ordination, therefore, prevents the revolutionary forces from being effective at this time in their fight on Carranzu. All the revolution chiefs in Mexico, including Carranza, aro inspired more by the money in the game than by any deep-rooted partiotism or love of national freedom. Of the revolutionists, Villa is the most popular, and perhaps the strongest personality, though so lacking in mental training that it is not probble that he will ever reach the presidency of the republic, even though any revolution that he should head should be successful. According to Mr. Holloman, Mexico is the richest land for its area on ihe face of the earth in undeveloped resources, but until the pirates of the hills and the boss pirates of politics are put down with her gun powder government there will be no peace and no prosperity. Mr. llollomon went to France for he ('on titution during the war with Germany and his letters from the scene of the conflict were among the most illuminating and the most notable of any of tbe war corvespon dents. The Constitution did a great service to the country i i p rotating i the conditions in Mexico by a writer so well equipped for the important tusk. LITTLE SWITZERLAND 1 In a speech in Congress, Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, made this reference to the peculiar attitude of Switzerland during the great world war: There is one Government in Europe based on Democracy, surrounded by belligerent powers?Switzerland, one-thid German speaking, and yet having a stability in government that has remained unshaken decade after decade, when Europe was hsaken with wars. The Balkan wars never touched Switzerland; the wars of 1870-71 di<l not touch Switzerland; this war, with Switzerland surrounded on all ; aies by warring nations, did not in. vad.e the land of Switzerland ;and with its boundaries fixed with a govermenl of a democracy, with all its laws submitted to the people in Switzerland by a referendum, so that no law should go into effect without the will . of the people of Switzerland, have given it a stability that makes Switzerland a model to the world. > In the same speech Senator Owei referred to the great changes taking . place in Europe, the vanishing ol kings and monarchies, giving way ti t liberal forms of government as th? . result of the defeat of Germany am the Kaiser. i The nionarchs of Bulgaria and Tur key are gone.

CHINESE BECOME SOCIAL PIONEERS Tbe fiood Fellowship Club has made Its appearance in society In Hangchow, China. It began with the desire of a progressive young Chinese doctor to give his compatriots, especially the Christians, some heulthful form of social Intercourse. Channels for n good, clean, sdclal life among Chinese people are very limited. Unltl recently becoming a Christian often meant cutting oneself off from one's friends and relatives, also from feast days and festivals. As for Joint meetings of men and women?well, such a thing was never heard of In decent society. The young doctor's plan of hnvlng a club where men and their wives might come together to enjoy a good I time with each other was discouraged and sniffed at. However, n few people agreed to he pioneers In the cause of social intercourse, and Y. \V. C. A. secretaries agreed to help make the club a success. At first the meetings of the club were laughed at by outsiders and the whole affair considered a Joke. However, the members kept on meeting, first nt one house and then at another. Soon the men got over the feeling of strangeness nt stnrting out with their wives on Tuesday evening for a friend's home. The women began to enjoy the outing and to take part In he discussions?an Intelligent part, I too?much to the surprise of their hus 1 hands. The membership grew. The cluh's fame hognn to spread. At first the discussions of the cluh were conducted in English. Soon It became necessary for them to he carried on in Chinese so that more of the women could understand and take part. Many of the scoffers began to apply for admission. The members began Indulging in much friendly chatting and occasionally forgot their dignity to play Jokes on oiip another. Finally It became so large that It had to be divided Into two sec- 1 Hons, which met separately three Tuesday evenings In the month and on the fourth Tuesday met together for a Joint session, with a special program. Students Just returned from American and German colleges, an old Buddhlst scholar who Is particularly Interested In the discussion on Buddhism ami Christianity, merchants, railroad ' and government officials compose the > men's side of the room. The women are still a hit shy about talking In I front of so many people, but many of them show signs of great executive i ability and power of leadership. They I are nil well poised, clear thinking hull, vldunls, who will have n great inflti1 ence on China's future. They discuss among themselves group meetings In i ! their various churches, the lack of s ' amusements for Chinese women, social JRJFffi i*r?? l Liuycmu Association is Pi( Surpassing all t in the Live Stoc ig plants and wat FIN Many F ill Furnish Music le press. i: Adults, 50 ( 1 Children I i iL. * * ,,J' w i J*w ,pPJW 'J ^l 3 .j: , ' BBneHHHMtaaMMHiapgr service work, subscription Hsts for lbs orphanage, cake making, types of tores, baby diets, the latest engagement and other topics such as one would bear discussed by a group of women gathered together any place In America. The social part of the evening Is given over to games, which at first astound the sober Chinese gentlemen, but which they take up with great xest after the first evening. And their wives enjoy It Just as greatly. Real American picnics are the latest thing which the club has tried, and they are a great success. A Chrlsf#ias play Is being planned now. ENGLISH IS COMMON TONGUE. Chinese Girls Learn It to Talk to One Another. Chinese women students In the Tang Fu College, Peking, China, are obliged to teurn English In order to talk wltb one another because of the different dialects used by the student body. (Jlrls from the extreme western provinces of China, who attend the school, must remain In Peking during all of the eight years required for their high school and college training, because to return each summer would require six weeks for the trip one way and would cos: more than a trip to America nnd return. Girls from each of the western provinces speak a different langunge nnd they cannot understand one another nny more than they can the girls from northern, southern, eastern or central provinces. Hence, they have adopted English as a common tongue. LIFT OFF CORNS! Apply few drops then lift sore, touchy corns off with fingers \ \ ?? Mjj' 1 'oca11 i nurt a bit!
