SCOTT AND DIPLOMACY
To the surprise of everybody on
bc*:h si.'.es oi the border, the recent
conftrvi.ce between General Obregoa
and General Scott at Jaurez result
ed in an amicable working agre*
men: tor the co-operation of
American and Mexican forces in the
hunt tor Villa. General Obregon,
ail the diapatchhes state, went* to
the cotiterence in anything but a
pacific frame of miue, and deter
mined to compel the the United
States government to withdraw the
expeditionary force. He came away
hi a much happier mood, in spite of
the fact that he did not crevail on
the American representative to
bring !>is troops out of Mexico.
Wherein lies the secret of this
remarkable victory for the Ameri
can viewpoint? Without a shadow
of doaot, iu the fine diplomacy of
General Scott, who more than once
in the past has shown himself to be
a mediator of the first order.
General Scott does violence to all
officers. The chief of staff knows
how to fight, and at the conference
iie jnust have been firmness itself
inorlei not to let the aggressive
and truculent Obregon get the bet
ter of lum. But he is typical of
t!ie modern American officer, wheth
er of the .army or of the navy, who
fare with a sound familiarity with
r.coi'>-ties a keen knowledge of wa-r
international law and an ability to
over a internial adversary by peace
fill means. General Scott is an asset
of incalculable v.orth in our deal,

TIRES OF A MOTORCAR.
t Why They Are Found Heated After a
Long and Fsst Run.
. It is well known that after a long
land fust run the tires of an autonio
bile are found to lie very hot. and
many have supposed this is the result
of the friction of the tire o:» the roa 1
The Scientific American says that such
is uot the case, at least as t>> the great
er portion of the heat.
"The real cuuseof heating." says thai
magazine, "la the internal friction of
the tire Itself, for us the tire Is being
constantly deflected by contact with
the road the various piles, or layers,
which compose the tire do not act ttid
formly. and consequently there is more
or less motion between them that re
suits lu f rift ion and heat. The great
er the change la shape In the lire a* it
; contacts with the road l he ;rcatcr wll
! be the friction.
"Of course the harder the lite i - pump
| ed the less will be (':■> friction, but I:
is evident that, while a per.c :!y riL'i i
tire would genenite but little heat. It
would fall In giving easy riding. S
we must put up with some heating ntin
consequent wear of the tire. The sub
Ject is one that Is being sin- essfullj
studied by the tlrcnntfccr."
Hanged tha Clava.- Forger.
Of curious petitions against th.
death penalty being enforced one re
calls the eighteenth century case of
William Lyland. who was sentenced
for forging a bill fur £7.114 on the
East India House. The forgery wa<
a work of art No less than thirty
signatures were imitated, and at the
trial not one of the victims could
swear that the signature was not Ill
own. IJowever. with the help of- the
paper manufacturers Rylaud's guilt
was brought home. Then came the
petition of his friends. So clever a
man ought never to be banged, they
pleaded. His craftsmanship should
save him. It gained him a respite
He was allowed to finish a fine en
graving he had begun, but nothing
more. Though the engraver was a fa
vorlte of George III., that king quite
failed to eee how a forrery could be
excused on the ground that It was a
clever forgery.—Pall Mall Gazette

A Merciless Judge

One Who Snows Xo Favor.
A merciless judge is Father Time.
Before him the vvet'.k and the want
ing go to the wall Only the truth
can stand. For years the following
statement has withstood this stern
est of ail tests.
John Carpenter, 501 N. Stanton
St., El Paso, Txeas, says: "I had
pain-, in my back, especially when
I arose from a sitting position or
made a sudden move. The kidney
secre,ions were profuse at times and
then again scanty and contained a !
brick-dust sediment. "During cold i
weather, they were too frequent in
passage. Doan's Kidney Pills entire*
ly relived me of tho trouble."
(Statement given Feb. 4, 1907).
LASTING RESULTS
On June 10, 1915, Mr. Carpenter
said: "1 haven't been troubled by
my kidneys iu some time and feel
that Doan's Kidney Pills have
brouga' about this healthy conditio
of my kidneys."
