And even if there were, a legal transfer would be hard to effect, owing to a clause in the Mexican constitution that makes it an act of treeon to sell any piece of Mexican territory to another country. For ten months Americans have been talking about establishing steam ship lines for the South American trade. Many persons Imagine that such lines have actually been inaugu rated. As a matter of fact, there is not a single regular steamship service yet to any port in South America ex cept to those of Venezuela and Colom bia, Brazil, Argentina and Chill, the countries with which we naturally de sire the closest tiest, hardly know what an American flag looks like. The East has complained more of hard times than any other section of the country. However it1: develops that in the state of New York there were registered last year 36,000 more automobiles than the year before, and so far this year there have been 60,000 more registered than for the same pe riod last year, and more than 1.000 over last year's total registration. Unless automobiles are sign of pover ty, business must be improving. KITCHEN- CASH REGISTERS. ' An expert was lecturing before the (Housewives' League in New York 'sometime ago on the subject of "Giv 'lng the Square Deal to American Hus bands." Part of her talk dealt with the business of housekeeping. During the discussion that followed :ne woman came forth with a sugses !tion so radical and withal so interest ing that the subject-matter of the lec ture itself was completely outshone by it. Said this woman: "Why shouldn't we have cash registers in kitchens?" She never had been able to under stand why, when every little store had a machine to count up its cash, a woman would not have such a thin? In her kitchen. She had even suggest ed It to the manufacturers of cash registers, but so far nothing had been done. Her idea is to have a small, inexpen sive resistor which a housewife or maid could operate. So simple that if the fish man came with his weekly bill of forty-seven cents one of the youngsters could attend to it without making mother leave the sewing ma chine upstairs. Ther is always a great difficulty about the proper keeping of house hold accounts. They are so small, so detailed, so irregular in their de mands. . The more you think about that cash register, the better it sounds. Devote ten minutes to meditating on its pos sibilities. ' BtTTJfG LOWER CALIFORXLV The old proposal that the United cati sTinnlH iicauire Lower Cali fornia is receiving more attention lately. There are two reasons given for such a step. One is of particular Interest to California, and the other to the country in general. First, it la pointed out that the great Imperial Valley of southern f!lifnm4a. whirh has 250,000 acres I under cultivation and might have 'three times that much, can never be properly developed or even properly (protected without the annexation of enme of the territory below the bor idor. The trouble is with the Colorado 'river. It brings life to the valley, and at the same time threatens death. At ithe bordet1, the river's natural flow is 'back toward the north, into the Sal Iton Sink. It has been forced to con- Mmm southward into the Gulf of i Mexico, by a mud dam at the north- ;ern end of Volcano Lake. This bar trier, engineers say, win not perma nently remain effective. The silt car ,rle4 by the river Is raising the level of the lake and threatening a general inundation some day. There is need '.of enlarging this dam, and construct. ling a permanent restraining work, at the place where the river leaves its original channel and flows toward the lake. But both of these dam sites are in 'Mexican territory, and the United States .government - is therefore . ham pered In carrying out the requisite plans. Why, it is argued, 'should not Lower California be bought, o as to facilitate the development of this area north of the present boundary. worth more than the whole penmsu laT It would be possible, too, for Americans to develop some ofthe , land below the line, which It is not likely the Mexicans will ever -utilise. The other reason la mainly strata- trio. The ownership of Lower Call fomla would give us a continuous rt retch of territory down the coast 800 miles nearer the Panama canal. ttrengthenlng our hold on that great waterway and providing us with valu able harbors and coaling stations. The, peninsula 1s orjlttle value to ".'xlco'. It is sparsely settled, the soil unproductive and. it is almost en - r epparaUd from the Mexican nland. Buying it, however and It won't Impose any hardship on American ammunition factories if the government puts an embargo on the shipment of munitions to Mexico. All the manufacturers have more Euro pean orders than they can take care of, anyway. But needless to say, such considerations shouldn't have anything to do with the matter. "With automobiles as cheap as they are today, the only excuse for not hav ing one is the same as the excuse for not having a wife. Easy enough to get, but expensive to keep. Bed Time Tales By ' Clara Ingram Judson. A Jolly New Job. A frisky little south breeze once wandered away from its mother. South Wind, and got into a big, state ly garden. "Oh, ho," said the little breeze, "this is going to be funplaylng in here it's going to be much more fun than staying around with my mother and doing just as she says I must do. Dear me! but I do get tired of doing all the things I have to dot I don't ntend to do one single thing thle whole day at least foot one sin gle thing that I ought 7 to dot So there!" And Just to prove that he meant what he said, the little breeze sat down under a bush and did nothing for a whole minute! At the end of that time the little breeze began to be bored by doing nothing (did you ever know anything that was as hard work as doing noth ing?) and he looked around to see what was going on about him. "Maybe if I keep very still,'.' he said to himself, "I will find something that is interesting to do, and that 1 don't have to do. I wouldn't mind do ing something like that, I'm sure." So he kept his ears and his eyes wide open. ; "In a minute or so, he heard a voice say, "No, there will never be any in this garden, because the old winds know better than to bring them here." And a voice replied, "Too bad, too bad, I'm sorry, for they'd look very nice on this pretty green grass." "Now,"' said he frisky little south breeze to hlmsjplf, "what can they be talking about? I guess I'd better get closer, so I don't miss anything." He crawled out from under the bush and hid himself carefully under a, great leaf close to the voices. "Maybe so, maybe so," replied the, first voice, "but you'll never get a breeze to carry them over that high back fence the gardener tended to that." The frisky little south breeze could stand the suspense no longer. "Would you please tell me what you are talk ing about" he said, as he poked his head out from under the great leaf. "Why should we?" asked the first voice, who proved to be a" sunflower. "Why indeed?" echoed the second voice, a stately gahvrdia. "You should tell me," said the fris ky little south : breeze, "because Tm just aching to do something that no other breeze will do. Maybe, If I knew what you wanted. I could do it for you. If I could. I would, I'm sure." "We are always thinking," said the sunflower without further objection, "how nice it would be if some dan delions grew in our garden. You see, we are so tall and so far from the ground. W want some sun colored flowers close to the ground." "But the gardener doesn't like dan delions," the galardla added. "He built that high fence on purpose, so the seeds wouldn't blow over into our garden . You couldn't get any over, could you?" "I could, try," said the frisky little south breeze. And he tried so success fully that the next month a dozen dandelions grew in that stately gar den.' "Where they came from, goodness only knows," cried the gardener, while the frisky little south breeze chuckled and blew over some more!

"The stars Incline, but do not compel." . (Copyright. 191S, Clure Newspaper Syndicate) put him in the running for a popular idol. Several times, however, he ran afoul of the doughty McQraw for his escapades and with the final climax in 'St. -Louis his popularity In New York is gone. A man with a conscience some thing rare In these parts-has been found. His name Is Robert Hicks. Twelve years ago he was sentenced to serve ten months imprisonment for using the mails for illegal purposes, lie fled to Europe. A few years ago he returned and penniless became one of the nameless derelicts who sail up and down the barrel houses of the bowery. One night he dropped Into the bowery mission. It was the old story. There came a change of heart and since he has devoted his time to saving other derelicts and has become a prosper ous and useful citizen. But Hicks had a conscience and it may be wrong to say it is a rare avis but New York doubts that there are many men who would sur render nnd serve out sentences leav ing behind a wife and three children. It is the opinion of authorities that a man who elves up so much for a principle should not be In a cell. He Is needed on the outside especially In Gotham.

Conditions are not favorable today. according to the reading of astrolo gy, Neptune is in a place read as strongly evil, and Venus also is ad verso. Late In the evening the Sun is in a beneflo place. The signs today presage trouble In connection with the navy and ship ping. Loss of valuable cargoes is fore shadowed. A naval officer or a man high in government affairs, will be the target for national criticism ow ing to an incident that will happen about the Fourth of July, the seers declare. While this configuration prevails, speculation Is likely to be exceeding ly unfortunate. Investments should be postponed. Hospitals, prisons and public Insti tutions should, be safeguarded against contagious diseases during the. next few weeks. As the adverse aspects of Neptune tend to produce seductive Influences, it Is wise to be the most circumspect while this rule of the stars pre vol la The figure is held to increase the micptlbilty and Impressionability Flirtations may be most unfortunate Jf carried on today. Inasmuch as the planet, Neptune, Is dual in its influence, it le believed to Increase spiritual Insight or to produce choatlo mental conditions. It Is held responsible for the predicted Increase of religious enthusiasm. Astrologers predict that a public man will arouse antagonism by a speech advocating misdirected pa triotism. The president's cabinet comes under a sign said to indicate Internal trou bles. Disagreements in policy and personal prejudices may hamper offi cial business. Persons whose Wrthdate It is should avoid new enterprise and be extremely .careful less accidents be fall them. There is a good augury for financial matters. Children born on this day are sub jects of Cancer. The sign is ruled by the Moon and Its subjects are likely to be exceeding! temperamental. "Smok Mokes" the first eakewalk and . the most famous, which ept the entire world some twenty years ago, and laid the foundation for the big Leo Feist Music house, has come back Into vogue and Is the reigning hit of the trotterles. And this brings out the fact that the enke walk is becoming the dance on Broadway. Some fancy dancers started or rather revived the dance at one of the midnight frolics or revu nttes or whatever they call them. Some musician, gray In the dance service, remembered the "Smoky Mokes" piece and the publishers be gan grinding out editions night and day and now those who remember the song of years ago are seeing It In the music racka The other week "Smoky Mokes" was Introduced In the musi cal production "A Modern Eve" at the Casino.

When not watching the erection of the building he writes or rather dashes off a col umn for the editorial page of the Mall. The other day he wrote: "One of the things that keep the columnist content these June mornings is to gaze out of the comp-room window and watch a couple of make-up men on the Western Union building strug gle to get a seventh floor girder In to place and come out exactly even.
