AX UNIQUE rOSlTIOX
| Sau Antonio, Texas. Jan. 12—
With thousands of Mexi.'au refugees
in tills city, whose affiliations are
mixed with the cottt-TiiUiug factions;
of their native^ land, and each wait
ing and hoping for a tinig in af-.j
fairs favorable to their respective j
interests, San Antouia occupies to
day an unique position in rela
tion to the war-torn republic across
the Rio Grande. And s,o it has
ever since the overthrow of the
Diaz regime five years ago when
Francisco I. Madero, disguised as a
peon, made his memorable escape
from Mexico and ccme here to
launch his revolution which carried
him to the president's chair and lat
er to his grave. Likewise the
Reyes revolution was started in San
Antouia. This was nipped in the
bud by the killing oi' General Ber
nado Reyes in Mexico City.
JLetterly, the United States gov
ernment has tighened its lines on ih»
activities of Mexican le Mi gees in
the states and filibustering from
this side of the border, regarded ;
as a violation of neutrfllity, is strict
ly prohibited. When l'wilio Vas
quez Gomez, who had been making
his hotue here-, gave long distance
advices on his ideas of running
the Mexican government and offer
ed himself for the pro\ isional presi
dency, he was arrested together with
his followers here. It was quite re-1
cently that David de la Fuente was
arrested in connection with this
Gomez affair. All the men have giv
en bends.
This has been ail era of "'istas"
iu Mexico-Maderlstas. Keyistas, Yas
uistas, Carranzistas, Huertietas, Por
firistas, VlHistas and Zapatistas,
with an "antista" for every one of
these. Mo6t of these have gone
out of existance until today the
fight has narrowed dow.i to the Car
ranzistas or Constitutionalibtas and
the Villistas or Zapatistas. The
claims of each faction are exploited
in the Mexican newspapers which (
have been springing ui like mush
rooms until today there are more
publications of the Spanish lan
guage in San Antouia than English.
The Carranzistas have r. repres
entative or "consul"' here. Teodulo
Beltran, who has a suite of well
appointed offices where he receives
visitors and transacts busiress con
cerning the affairs of t ie constitu
tionalistas.

REVIEW OF PROGRAM OF
I'AREXT-TEACHER AS8W
Last Friday evening, January S,
the regular monthly meeting of the !
Parent Teacher ass -eiation was I
held at S o'clock in the school j
"ouso assembly room. The assem-1
bly room has been rendered more '
attractive the past week by the
gift to the school of a beautiful |
flag which has been draped on the
wall and the stretching of dark green
burlap as a background lor the ex-'
hibit work of the children. it is!
the purpose of tlio school from time '
to time to exhibit work characteris
tic of the children's progress. Those
in attendance were so interested in
the exhibit of the evening that, they j
remained long after the meeting i
closed to study in detail the work
or every child.
Among the matters o'[ business
which came up before the associa
tion was the Question of giving
credit for piano practicing and Sat
urday work in the newly instituted '
system of Home Credit work and
after considerable discussion it
was decided that tliest, credits
should be allowed.
The program had for its topic j
at this particular meeting the ques-.
tion of the proper kinds m food for
the school child. .Mrs. Clark gave
an excellent paper on "The
Value of Food to the iiool Child."
Iler most important point on this
subject was that proper fi.od meant
tm efficient child. To establish
this point she euumer.tt.nl the best
kinds of food, at the same time
showing just what each particular
class of food gives to the growing
1 oy or girl. Her second point
had to do with the time and con
ditions under which a child should
eat his meals. There :s no better
motto to abide by during meal
hours than the old saving, "Eat,
drink, and be merry." The envir
onment of the dinner table should
always be a pleasing one. The
child should never be reproved at I
meal hour for his misconduct dur
ing other hours of the day. Be
sides these things there should be I
given plenty of time fOi* eating.
Airs. Dedman then gave an inter- j
esting paper on the suitable break
fast for the active school child,!
carefully discriminating between)
those foods which are beneficial to
the child and those which are not I
The breakfast is really the crucial |
meal of the day, for upon ii depends
the trend of the day's work and as I
it is a proven fact "as the day be
gins so the day usually ends," we
should therefore give great consid
eration to the menu of this meal.
Following this came a short in
teresting talk by Miss Keenan on '
"Evidence of Right and Wrong Feed-1
I'tg I Have Seen in 1he School J
Room." Miss Keenan gave some !
very interesting statistics concern
ing the result of improper feeding.
For instance, too much laeat makes
THE SUFFRAGE
BILL DEFEATED
Washington, D. C., Jar.. 13—The (
house today defeated the bill fo:* j
nation wide suffrage and refused to
submit the question to a popular
vote. The ballot was 204 against
and 160 in favor of the measure.
The mater was held to be one which
should be settled by the various
states and not by congressional en
acment.
IDE BOWL
I
The first of the international j
bowling contests took place at the
Elks' club List night with decidedly j
unsatisfactory results to the local [
aggregation.
A. C. Blanrhard, cue of the reg
ular team, suffered a Slight sprain J
in the first game so that he had
to retire. An extraordinary num
ber of splits were encountered. The |
final total for three gaire." was 2298
pins. Scores mado by other teams)
were as follows;
Juneau, 2391.
Treadwell, 2730.
Whitehorse, 2395.
Dawson, no report.
Rome, Jan. 13—The worst earth

Many buildings wer? damaged and
the people are still ir. a panic and J
in fear of a recurrence.
a child cross or combative, with a
chip on his shoulder, so to speak;
hot cakes for beakfast make
him sullen; while on the other
hand there is the "thin" break
fast which, having insufficient nour
ishment for a morning's work, caus
es the child to become listless
from ten o'clock on, or il' there is
no breakfast at. all his listlessness
begins at nine o'clock. The child
whose body is in every way proper
ly nourished does not sc readily
form bad habits such as cigarette
smoking and later drinking of in
toxicants. The problem of right
and wrong feeding is not one for
the child only but Cor tile .teacher
as well.
Mrs. Clarence Olson delighted her
audience with a well reudered vo
cal solo.
From Mrs. Suffecosl's reading of
the second chapter of " Miss Miner
va and Wm. Green Hill," the asso
ciation was again pleasantly enter
tained by the quaint experiences
and philosophy of this small boy
William.

URASS BAND BOYS' BALL
BULLY, BOUNDING, BLISSFUL
The ball to be given ov the night
of Saturday, January it;th, by the
members of the Skagway brass band
at the W. P. A. club gymnasium
promises to be an enjoyable affair
and is deserving of liberal pa
tronage by the people •>? the town.
The music will, of course, be
furnished by the organisation under
whose auspices the affair is to come
off and the net tecoipts will be
used for the very laudable purpose
of buying new instruments and mu
sic for the use of the members.
The boys have bet-n assiduously

lar meeting night and have become
so proficient it is a rea! pleasure
to listen to their rendition of the
latest and most popular airs.
