Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were uged. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces.
sary TO use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric Is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality OF the goods. This trou.
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thiuly because OF its great.
er strength than other makes.

William T. Stead, the famous Eng

country, where he expects to make a
stay of several weeks, partly for the
purpose of attending the peace confer
ence at New York April Is and II. In
newspaper interview Mr.. Stead ex-
pressed himself as strongly in favor
of the united action Of Great Britain
and the United States in the coming
Hague conference toward disarma-
ment and the promotion of interna-
tional amity. He particularly urged
the carrying into effect of article 8,
which was unanimously recommended
by the former conference. This would
treat dispute between two nations
the same as dispute between two in
dividuals and recommends that before
proceeding to hostilities each party
should call in a special mediator, cor
responding to second in private

Of not exceeding thirty days in which
to settle the dispute. If such pro-

'To hell with the law!' This spirit,
he says, pervades the courts and cites
that to recent letter addressed to

rience with regard to the sheriffs.

The Cause Of Earthquakes.
In paper recently published by the
American Philosophical society Pro-
fessor T. J. j. See of the naval obsery-
atory at Mare island, dissents from
the theory quite common among scien-
lists that earthquakes are caused by
the subsistence of rock faults In the
earth's strata. Professor Sees opinion
is that these disturbances are caused
by the explosive power Of steam from
within or Just beneath the earths
crust, the generation Of this steam be-
ing chiefly due to leakage from the
ocean beds. AS proof Of this theory he.
cites the fact that most violent earth
quakes occur in lands bordering on
deep seas.

Administration Stands Pat.
At last the president has broken 81
lence after many opportunities from
influential financiers and captains of in
dustry to give the business community
"a reassuring word" as to the policy of
bis administration toward the great
railroad and other corporations in the
hope of restoring confidence. His ut
terance is in the form of a letter to the
president of the Illinois Manufacturers
association, who had recently headed
a delegation to the White House to re-
quest the president to speak, at Spring
field. The invitation to speak is de-
clined on the ground that the president
could not say anything new or different
from his past official utterances. In
other words, his attitude toward the
necessity of federal control of the cor
porations had not changed. He makes
it plain that he will ask the next con-
gress to deal with the subject of over
capitalization. but indicates that exist
ing stock and bond issues will not be
disturbed Nor does there appear to
be any intention Of forcing a physical
valuation of railway properties.
