T am afraid of him because he is help- less and cannot hurt me. Many peo- ple would think that they would not feel like this, but they would.” Another point of view is given by a | correspondent of the Westminster Ga- zette at Cologne. “The Huns love us dearly,” he writes, “hecause we save them from themselves. Also they think us wealthy because we tip waiters. Every time I go to the municipal baths there is a crowd of Huns walting, and I always go in front of them.

Queretaro, Mexico, Aug. 1 Opal mining in this district, an industry vet untouched by foreign capital, shown renewed activity with the close of the war and a normal number of men - will soan be at work. The Queretaro district for more than 60 years had furnished virtually all of the opals sold in the republic, most of the valuable gems going to dealers in Mexico City who in turn ship them tn the United States. Primitive methods are still used here to secure the gems. Dynamite is used to blast the gems from the ground. After the rock is broken into sizable pieces it is,ta to the shops for the grinding and pol- ishing processes. Modern methods are not used, the rough stones merely be- ing placed on spindles and applied to an ordinary grindstone worked by foot power. Vigorous rubbing on soft leather is the last step in completing al for the market. ILL’S FAR FROMHOME WITH TROUBLES DIRE; HE HASN’T GOT AN EXTRA TIRE.
