FREE TRADERS CLAIM GAIN
British Politicians Optimistic Re-

Bankers Deny that Increase in Ship

London, Aug. 14-Free trade politicians
have been pointing as a vindication Of
their doctrine TO what they call the ''re-
vival OF British trade" as shown by the
board of trade for the month OF June.
which certainly did indicate some in
creases in imports and exports as COM
pared with June of last year.
Many banking experts do not share this
optimistic view. The president Of the
London Joint Stock Bank, one of Brit
aims largest Institutions with a sub
scribed capital of S6O,OO0000, stated at the
half yearly meeting Of the banks share
holders the other day that the board OF
trade figures could not be taken as an ex-
act measure OF the prosperity OF the
trade of the country.
The figures published by Sauerbeck. the
well-known statistician, showed, he said.
that the price OF practically all raw ma
terials had risen very considerably. but
It did not follow that the profits OF manu-
facturers had risen in proportion, and 1t
did not point 10 a real revival in trade

GUIDES FOR THE AERONAUTS
Berlin Club Planning an Elaborate
Plan for Signaling.
Combination of Letters and Signs
May BE Placed in All Parts
OF Europe.

Berlin. Aug. 1.-THE Aero Club OF Ber-
lin has been giving its attention TO the
question Of guiding signs for aeronauts,
and Capt Won Frankenbere. the director
Of the club. has invented an elaborate
system OF signaling by which an aviator
viii be able 10 tell exactly where he is at
any time Of the day
He proposes that a combination OF let
ters and signs. nine feet in length. shall
bc placed in conspicuous situations all
over Europe. At night these would be
illuminated. Each country would have
its own letters. ID" FOR instance, would
stand for Deutschland" and each ad-
ministrative district would have a num-
Der. Thus, an air navigator who saw ID
7S' would find by referring 10 his code
book that he was in Germany and over
Chemnitz, and the addition Of yet another
sign would show what commune OF Chem
nitz II was
Other signs would show him that he
was approaching q frontier. or that he
was near a hydrogen factory a shelter
hail. or a gasoline depot. and there would
also be signs 10 indicate the presence of
marshes and other unsuitable landing
places.
The project has been submitted 10 all
the principal aeronautical societies in
France Belgium, Holland, Austria-Hun-
gary. Italy, Spain, Great Britain, and the
United States for consideration.

WOMEN URGED TIE RIOTERS
Played Prominent Part in Barcelona
Fighting,
Az in the Days of French Revolu-
tiOn, Greater Spirit Of Cruelty
Is OIanifcNted by Women.

Madrid, Aug. 14-The gentle, languor-
Gus. beautiful women of sunny Spain
played a large part I'm the uprising which
has been quelied IN Barcelona.
Crowds OF them with their children In
their arms or hanging 10 their skirts led
the workmen and urged them on. Like
the women OF the French revolution. the
Spanish women were in the front line OF
battle each day.
The men raised the barricades and fired
revOlvers. but the women stood in front
of them whenever they could and threw
stones.
At SaragOssa again Il was the women
whOrfOught most desperately A town OF
many factories and mills. Saragossa gives
employment to hundreds OF women Here
in times OF peace the picturesque aspect
Of Spain strikes the eye. for the girls in
the mills with their bright clothing, the
flowers they love to wear and the sun
shine playing around them have an un-
failing charm.
Behind the fascination Of the Spanish
women there has always been the ca
pacity for cruelty. They patronize the
bullhghts with more enthusiasm even
than the men. and their shrill cries of
JOY at the matador's trlumphs often
drown the shouts Of the men.
1t is forty years since the modern spirit
Of feminin.sm awoke in Spain. and II has
been slow in affecting the women of
the people. Still. women are occupied In
Spain more or less as they are in other
countries.

NEW MANICURING AT zoo.
ChlOrOfOrm Lessons Pain aS LOndOn'H
Animals Get Claws Clipped.

London, Aug. 14-The officials Of the
Geological Gardens in London have tried
with success a new method Of cutting the
claws Of the more savage members OF the
menagerie. Previously this operation wa
conducted by sheer physical force; now
The nippers are applied while the animal
IS under the influence Of chloroform.
The cutting OF a Hons claws under the
old method was risky and vexatious
business. A party OF keepers would an

moose OF stout rope Hour were wasted
IN making chance shots with the pole I'm

mails neck The real struggle began
when the beast was captured. for some
times as many as ten men were required
TO dag Il to the front Of the cage. Then
# was the duty Of one Of the keepers to
slip strap over the paw TO be operated
upon directly It protruded under the bars
OF the cage.
The new method is simpler and ve,v
much quicker. A powerful ioness was
the first animal operated upon. A strong
case with glass sides and sliding doors
at each end was run on wheels 10 the
doors leading from the front 10 the rear
OF the cage. Into this the animal was
driven by keepers and the door was closed

Through a small aperture in the side of
the case chlOroform was pumped until
the beast fell down. Then the paw re-
quired was pulled out and the keeper
cut the claws I'm a twinkling. The claws
OF jaguar were afterward cut in the same
manner.

DIRECTS RADIUM USE
German Scientist Tells OF
Results Of Experiments.
OBJECTS ACTIVITY REDUCED
Seeds in Which Life Is In Latent
Condition supports Radiation with
Less Injury Than Those About TO
Sprout-This Leads to the Belief
that Skin VIII withstand Rays.

Berlin. Aug. 14-Since radium has been
tentatively employed in curing deep scat
ed diseases in the human body, German
experts have been studying the problem
how 20 apply the radiation 10 the spots
desired without injuTing the skin. which
is. as Is we'll known, exceedingly sensi-
tive 10 the emanatiOns Of the rays
The Medizinische WOchenschrift. Of
Munich. has an article by Dr. Gottwald
Schwarz. who communicates the result
of two years study OF the subject.
He began his experiments by observing
that the sensitiveness of the vegetable
cells to ROntgen rays varied materially
according TO the activity Of the processes
OF development az work within the cell.
Dry seeds IN which the embryo of life
is IN q latent condition could support
radiations COR days without injury but
grain that had begun 10 sproUt showed
itself exceedingly sensitive to rays even
OF small power. This led DR.. Sehwarz 20
the hypothesis that the human skin might
be safe against injury II its activity were
reduced as far as possible.
Simple experiments on human beings
resulted in a surprisingly clear connrma-
ton OF this discovery. The arms of one
person were subjected to the action OF q
radium capsule applied loosely and II
a=other case strapped tightly ruund
the arm so as to arrest the blood circula-
ton locally In the first case the Rontgen
burns appeared in due course, but in the
second there were no Ill effects.
Similar experiments on a human head
resulted In badness being produced on
the spot where the active skin had been
subjected 10 the emanations. but when
the blood circulation had been reduced
by means OF pressure. the hair was not
harmed Mechanical pressure. Dr.
Schwarz concludes. is only one means df
producing immunity. Experiments so far
successful are proceeding with local ap-
plications Of compressed air

WILL SCOUT In AEROPLANEO
French Officer Outlines Use of the
Bleriot Machines.
Must Carry Two Passengers to BE
Effective, Says Expert and
Attain High Attitudes.

Paris, Aug. H.-What the general stafI
of the French army expects of flying ma
chimes Of the Bleroit type is briefly out
lined by an officer Of high rank in the
aeronautical section Of the war minis
try.
This expert thinks that while Il will
be many years before flying machines
can transport armies. yet even now they
are able TO render services as scouts.
From the military viewpoint. he savs
it is essential that the scout airship shall
be fiier not liable to get easily out OF
order, and that It shall have some sort
Of automatic balance.
Take, for instance. he says, the Wright
b!plane. The aeronaut must have his
eyes constantly on The horizon and on
landmarks that are to guide his fight.
His hands are constantly on the levers.
However easily steerable the machine
may be, he cannot relax his attention for
a second. He can take no notes or draw
sketch maps.
a machine able to fly automatically
would alone enable the occupant 20 do
scouts work. The machine must be
easier TO steer than On auto driven along
a country road. or else It must be made
to carry two persons, one of whom can
devote himself wholly TO spying out the
land.
Then also it is necessary for the ma
chine TO ascend to at least 1,6OO feet. At
any lower elevation no comprehensive
idea can be formed Of extensive military
oneratiOns

WAGING FIERCE LIQUOR VAR
Tied" and Free" Houses in Lon
dOn's Poor Quarter Clash.
All the Trouble started over Plan to
Increase Price of Beer,
Following New Tax.

London, Aug. H.-Remarkable scenes
have taken place in a poor quarter Of
the East End of London in the last few
days in consequence OF The rivalry Of
liquor sellers.
a beer war is being waged between the
tied houses and the free" houses,
owing to the refusal Of the latter to agree
to the demand Of the brewers to raise
the price Of beer.
The tied houses are owned by and
under the control of the brewers. while
free" house is the property Of a
private individual Owing to the extra
tax on beer and the increased license
duties specified in the budget proposals,
the tied" publicans. at the instance OF
the brewers, decided to raise the price
Of beer from cents TO 10 cents a quart
The free" houses refused to follow suit
and retained their old price of cents
In spite of boycottings and refasals on
the part Of certain brewers 20 supply or
ders. the free" house tenants obtained
their supply of beer from the private
brewers. whose interests are not only
not identical with those Of the big brew
ing companies, pul IN many respects di-
rectly opposed to them The next move
on the part OF brewers was 20 order their
tied" tenants to come down 4 cents a
quart, in the hope OF clHting out the free
tenants. The result is peculiar and sug-
gestive. The district is invaded by thirsty
men and women from all the neighboring
boroughs, drawn together by the posi-
billty Of having a cheap drink.
The tenants OF the free" houses are
determined TO stand firm and fight to a
finish. Meanwhile. the tied" house ten
ant. by selling his beer at cents a quart.
is losing p cents on barrel. but the
brewers, it is said, have agreed 70 make
the loss good while the fight lasts. Popu-
lar sentiment seems entirely to be with
the free" houses.
