A PATHETIC APPEAL
BY HUERTA'S WIDOW
Asks Wife® to Stop “Persecution'
.... of Her Family.
Senora Huerta, the widow of the
late Ysctoriano Huerta, in a tele
gram has personally appeased to
President W ilson to stop the "per
secution' of her family. The ap
peal states Huerta died penniless,
except for what little interests he
may have left in Mexico, from which
by Wilson's assistance, he was ex
pa: na-ed; that she is left a widow
in a foreign iand with her children,
some of whom are minors, and that
“yesterday my son-in-law, Luis
Puentes, was arrested and had it
no*, been for the cl wit y of Ameri
can frien4s .be would have been cast
into jail, as was my husband," Con
cluding. Senora Huerta asks that
persecutions be not “visited upon
his (Huerta's) widow and children
during the time they must remain
in this great country—until they
can return with the dust of their
father to their beloved Mexico."

TONIGHT AT THE GRAND
A GROWING MENACE
(Detroit Free Press)
Eigh; thousand persons living in
he United States January 1, 1916,
ill be murdered before January
i. 1917. 'This is one conclusion
to b© drawn from the statistics
for 1915 collected by F. L. Hoffman
: Xev. York, shoeing an average
of eight murders to each 100.000 of
opuiation, the figures being based
-n a ten-year tabulation of homi
cides in the thirty leading cities
of the United States.
The statistics show a rising rate
of murders in most cities. It is
n cities where the largest number
murders occur.
I: is impossible to escape the
or.c.usion that for some reason life
is being more cheaply held. Per
haps tins is due to lax enforce
ment of laws against murder, or to
.he number of homicides who yearly
elude capture. In 1915 eight
atnocitious murders were discovered
in New York without the capture
of a single one of the criminals by
the police. Or the blame may lie
with the legal punitive methods
lacking severity and with effective
work for the capture of slayers.
Perhaps the root of the trouble
lies deeper than any of these items
indicate. It may be that there is
too much of a tendency popularly
to excuse the takeing of life, not
enough emphasis, on the sacredness
of life, too much of the drift in the
iirection of experimenting with life.
It is a subject of profound impor
tance. It gees down to the found
ation of society.

RESTAURANTS FOR BIRDS
W hen the snow is deep on the
ground and the thermometer is near
lore, mankind’s little feathered
re : ds have a hard time finding any
food. It is then that so many of them
succumb, not so much from the sever
.y of the weather but because of
she lack of nourishment. To meet
this situation the girls of the junior
-codubon Society, of Arlington^J.
i' upon a novel idea. At a
meeting recently held by them it
was decided to provide 'restaurants’
! for the birds throughout the winter.
I These restaurants will be located
near Jheir homes. Miniature little
i houses warmed by straw, will be set
i in the trees by some of the girls,
! and in these food will be regularly
I distributed, so that the birds will
■ cultivate the habit of coming to
: these spots regularly for food as
well as for shelter.
Various kinds of food will be sup
: plied. Suet will be the menue pro
vided for the insectivorous birds
and seeds and bread crumbs for the
the seed eaters.

IN OUR DREAMS
Very often our dreams are a jum
ble of ideas—*oftcn an incoherent
jumble, but still ideas that we have
inherited. Dreaming is largely a
kind' of free play of what has been
called ancestral memory.
While the dream last it is very
real to us. We start on a journey
we fall among thieves, we tumbel
over precipice, w® are thrown out
of a conveyance; we experience all
the fright and inconvenience of such
incidents.
They are images of adventures in
the hie story of some forbear
brought into relation with us through
the avenues of subconsciousness
which has always held the records
of such deeds.
While the ordinary objects of life
and the outer world are perceived
thr- ufh the senses- co-ordirtiled
under the conditions of normal con
sciousness—there are ancient soul
or race memories; and the feelings
and visions which they recall belong
to an inherited order of conscious
ness, which is less individual, less
local, than the ordinary one.
