MEXICO CITY, September 13.—Clay T. Yerby of Los Angeles, Calif., has been granted a .concession to con- struct an oil pipe line from Puerto, Mexico, on the gulf coast to Salina Cruz, on the shore of the Pacific. An- nouncement that this concession had been granted was made here last night by J. Y. Flynn, representative in Mexico City of Mr. Yerby. It was said the pipe line would follow the Tehuantepec railroad and that the concession gave Mr. Yerby the right to use federal lands, terminals and port facilities. Work ‘to Begin at Once. Mr. Flynn said that more than one pipe line would be laid, but that work on the first. a ten-inch line,) would begin at once and would be| completed within twenty-six months. The concession will run eighteen years after the work of laying 'the line is completed. Fifty per cent of the capacity of all lines laid under the concession will be operated under federal regulations governing com- mon carriers, and the remainder of the capacity will be subject to con- tract by the operating company. It is estimated that the cost of the work will be $10,000,000 gold, and it is pointed out that by means of the pipe line ghe time of transporting oil from the east to the west coast of Mexico will be cut down by eleven days, and the distance covered will be 2,300 miles less than through the Panama canal. Not only will the pipe line route provide cheaper fuel for industries in the Mexican Pacific states, but Mexican oil will be placed within easy reach of Pacific 'and far east tu;llnx stations. ome months ago it was said th: the United States Shipping Boardlh;é made a futile attempt to obtain d similar concession, so that it might provide a supply of fuel oil for the Pacific fleet. Mr. Yerby and an as- sociate, Hugh B. Evans, both of Los Angeles, are now in New York city arranging for'the construction of the pipe lines. f welcome of officers of the allied armies coming to this city to attend the conference on limitation of ar- maments, which will begin its ses- sions on the same day.

Recommendations were made by Mr. Cameron that the National Tu- bercuiosis Association be appealed to to make an investigation as to the advisability of having the hos- pital in the neighborhood. Some Only Slightly Affected. Mr. Henderson declared that many of the children who would attend the school are only slightly affected with the disease, and in fairness to them they should not be allowed to come in contact with the more or less hopeless cases.

Last year $60,000 was al- lowed in the- original appropriation bill, but a deficiency of $15,000 had to be made up to continue their opera- tion until May. It is the intention of school “officials to run the night schools this year without asking for a deficiency appropriation. In reducing the number of classes in the night schools, officials point out that there also will be a reduction in the teaching pérsonnel. There were about 200 teachers in the night schools last year. This year the teaching per- sonnel probably will be cut to about Starvation There. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Graded Schools May Not Open. Some of the graded night schools in the outlying sections of the city, it was said, probably will not be opened . this year. Attendance in some of the schools in the subdivisions. it was said, has been too small to justify the expense of their operation. Classes in other schools, where the attendance is not large, it was asserted, also will be_closed. Consideration being given by school officials to a plan to award diplomas to night school students completing a specified course. In past years certificates have been presented at the close of the night schools cer- tifying the amount of work done by the students. Definite plans for organizing the night school system will be worked out at a series of conferences next week between school authorities and principals of the night schools. The dates for these meetings will be ar- ranged soon by Walter B. Patterson, director of special schools. GETS NEW TEACHING POST. Many Are Homelens.

Very few womven know the reason, and it’s no wonder that many fall heir to this and other foot troubles. “The foot is a flexible structure made of twenty-six benes held together by tendons and controlled by a system _ of muscles. The ability to carry the entire weight of the body on this seemingly fragile bone formation is due to the structure of the arches. The strength of the foot is maintained by allozwing the foot muscles free action. When the shank of the shoe is stiff, this natural movement is prevented and the muscles deteriorate from disuse. The shank should be flexible.”—Augusta Rucker, M. D., in January McCall’s. Cornwell’s Mocha Squares WO layers of ’ cake butter rich, layered and ccated with luscious mocha cream.
