may be assumed that some member OF
Gen. Kuroh's personal stan had in
charge the conversion OF the small
banquet room on the eighth floor of
the hotel into as near an approach to
the famous gardens Of Kuwyo Kwan
or Maple Club at Toxic, as the limita-
tons Of the interior would allow. So
dense was the foliage OF palm and
Towering bush about the ends OF the
banquet room that the walters we're
lost for minutes as they came and
went. About the north end OF the ta'
bles there had been erected a dais,
smothered in greenery, and behind
this a broad canvas, cunningly lit with
hidden electric lights, which depicted
moonlight on a ripping river. The
one long table, built about In the shape
OF an oval, bore long red stains where
banks Of roses showed In the dim light
of the shaded candles. The damask
was striped with smilax woven into
arabesque. At every place there were

OIL Instead Of Coal.

struct a large stove, equal In size
and usefulness to the coal range. has
been a hard problem. The demand
for such stove is unlimited. An
oil range which seems to approach
the Ideal is shown here. The range
is similar to the usual household
range, but In place Of the coal CRATE
an oil burner is employed. The oil
Is placed in a tank and conveyed by
gravity Into vapor. The latter
then passes into flame, which IL
regulated at will. This oil burner
can also be used In connection with
an open CRATE or fireplace.

it became apparent that much muck

Executive Activities In
South and Central America

What the administration regarded AS
structive craftsmanship touching the
public interest along numerous lines Of
action in the various executive depart
ments was the spectacular South Amer
ican journey of Secretary OF State
Root At Rio Janeiro he was received
with marked distinction by the Brazil
ian government and by tile members Of
the pan-American congress. To all he
bore testimony to the good will OF the
United States government and to the
absence of any ambitious designs for
territory or conquest.
When after election the president
made his three days personal inspec-
tion of the great isthmian canal work
he was nightly pleased with what had
been done. 1t was the first time that
the chief executive had left American
territory The new commission ap-
pointed JULY = consisted Of Messrs
Shouts, Stevens. Magooii. Hams, Endi
cott and .Harrod. 1t came to the con-
clusion that it would be advisable to
employ 4 certain number Of Chinese
laborers on the canal and that it would
not BE practicable to apply the eight
hour regulation to the canal zone. On
his return voyage tile president visited
Porto Rico.

The part played by the interstate
commerce commission was extensive
and varied, beginning with the execu-
ti0n OF the order Of congress to inves-
ttgate the coal carrying railroads and

tion OF Pennsylvania railroad officials
shocked the public by its disclosure OF

When the Palma government OF

to compel the establishment OF a TEN

the bill became a law.
One other important measure involv-
ing the use of new federal powers was
