Mexico ity, June 24. Protests against the recent federal order pro hibiting bolshevik demonstrations and the flying of the communist flag from public buildings were voiced by a committee representing the coal miners of the state of Coahuila, which called upon Secretary of the Interior Calles yesterday. The secretary told the miners their protests would be investigated, but he added he believed the federal or der was not issued with the motive of restricting the liberty of indi viduals. General Calles declared there was some confusion among officials re garding the flag of communism. The prohibiting order stated that the flag was red and black, when, in fact, red is the color of the communists. The red and black flag, the secretary as serted, was the banner of workers r i rv nc t i the world over and should be al- Borah Opposes Measure, Tak ing Stand That Government Gus Backward About Showing Form He and Governor Stick in Mud Hyers Starts for Shore Clad in Moonshine ; Seeing Women on Bank He Dives and Spoils Sunday Suit.

A new cause for auto ac cments nas put in its appearance Here. It is a big bug flying in the air, ready to nip the face of auto drivers and hence throw them from the road. Such was the experience of Miss Viola Messman, living west of here, who was driving a touring car along a level stretch or road with em bankments on both sides. The gang from the convict camp was working the road at this point and the boss in charge was watching the car. He noticed it angle to wards the ditch and saw it topple completely over in the' gutter of mud 'and water at the side. .

In the Great Grain Belt the Average Value Went Up From $10,461 to $22,-317. By ARTHUR M. EVANS. ChlraKo Tribune-Omaha Bee LeaM'tl Wire. Chicago, June 24. An increase of $32,994,839,687 was added to the value of the farms of the United States, meaning, value of land and buildings during the 10 years ended January 1, 1920. Figures released by the bureau of the census place the full value at $67,795,965,384, as compared with $34,801,125,697 on April 15, 1910. It represents an in crease in value during the decade of 94.8 per cent. Thus the value of the agricultural want has been climb ing at the rate of about $J,3UU,U0U,0U0 a year, which ought to chirk up husbandry a bit despite the trenicn dotis drop in prices of farm products. The number of farms increased only 1.4 per cent during the decade; the total areas of land in farms in creased 8.7 per cent; the total acres of improved land increased only 6 per cent, while the value of farms nearly doubled. The figures are low er than the estimates in the secre tary of agriculture's report last win ter, but they are the final authority. During the 10 years, the value of the average farm land and build ingsrose from $5,451, in 1910 to $10,514 in 1920. The average value per acre of land and buildings went to $70.94. In 1910 it was $39.60; in 1900 it was $19.81. iiack in 186U it was $16.32. In 10 years it climbed more than in the preceding 50 years. The greatest increase was regis tered in the 12 states in the two north central- divisions, which have more than one-half 51 per cent of all improved farm lands in the country. In the five east north central states Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wiscon sin, Ohio the average value per farm jumped from $5,799 to $15,080, in the 10 vears, or yi per cent, de spite the fact that acreage decreased in all five states but Michigan and Wisconsin. In the seven west north central states, the great grain belt, average value per farm went up to $22,317 from $10,464, a boost of 113 per cent. In Iowa it was 137 per cent, this being the state where the land boom raged fiercest. In Illinois the increased value per farm was 123 per cent.

Mrs. Jiggs, whose cavewoman methods of "Bringing Up Father" have stirred a new long ing in the hearts of Euopean wom en, is to have her part in revolution izing the fashions of Europe. Cartoonist George McManus, creator of the Jiggs family, is being blamed by many men for spoiling the cherished femininity of the French women and turned them into domestic dictators. 'Under the racing bettiner booth the modern woman stands; the mus cles on her sleeveless arms stand out like iron bands," chattered Cortland Bishop at the paddock in the Auteuil track as he watched hundreds of so ciety women demcyistrating the new "back to tbe primitive styje." This is the style which decrees that every really fashionable women shall have athletic arms and legs "a la Car- pentier. While the big fight is ostensibly responsible, the real reason is found in the changing ideas of the smart set, who with one accord are fol lowing the "evening gowns for aft ernoon" fad. Elegantly slim women decked out in barbarous jewels paraded between the betting booths and the grand stand displaying bare arms and legs with large bauds of muscles ex posed. One woman had slightly roughed her arms fro mthe elbow up in order to accentuate the phy sical idea. As a consequence of the new fash ion, by which the "clinging vines" type is definitely relegated to the background in. favor of robust.' ath letic bodies, dozens of matrons with their daughters can be seen any morning around the gymnasium in the Bois de Boulogue indulging in track exercises. Paris men, accustomed to dominat ing their wives on European fash ions, are regarding the progress of tne new body culture idea anxious ly, fearing that the weaker sex may become the stronger it it keeps up. Some of the women fearing that eligible men might shrink from marrying Amazons have been srreat ly encouraged by the approaching marriage ot Gladys Deacon to the JJuke of Marlborough. Miss Dea con is declared to be of the "per fect Diana" type. Many of the men. however, esoc- cially the smaller ones, can be heard denouncing the two-fisted American women," who spoil our cherished femininity, blaming the -idea on Car toonist McManus. at whose pictorial representations of Mrs. Jiggs as a domestic dictator the women have gazed longingly on ever since those pictures found popularity in Europe. Youth Slain in Fight With State Dry Agents Greeley, Colo., June 24. Joe In nocenco, 18, of Cheyenne, Wyo., was shot and killed during a pitched battle with prohibition of ficers early today at the Applegate ranch, 15 miles north of Carr, Colo. Several shots were exchanged when the officers arrived at an al leged distillery. ' John Innoccnco, 27, brother of the dead man, Guy Applegate and Francisco Uzcheniipindo, '. 3.1, were arrested charged with violating the prohibition law.

With throat cut nearly from ear t oear, the body of a man was found lying between two strings of street cars in the rear of the street car barn at Twenty-fourth and Vinton streets yesterday afternoon.

At certain times he became ob sessed with the fear some one was seeking to take his life, fellow em- vc: . ployes declared, but would never give a reason why he felt that way. Yesterday he complained to the foreman of the South Side street car barns that some one was "after , him," they said. When he was first taken to the hospital, the doctors said he had an even chance for recovery because the knife thrust had failed to sev( the jugular vein. Talked in Sleep. Bowers' wife told Detectives Brinkman and Kean her husband bad labored for sonic time under the impression some one was seeking to take his life, and at times even talked in his sleep of his fears, the officers reported to South Side po lice headquarters.
