NATURAL BRIDGE IS
DISCOVERED IN UTAH
VIADUCT Is MORE THAN 800
FEET IN AIR
Natures Pathway Is Found Six Miles
East of Colorado River and Four
Miles North of Arizona
Line

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 3.--With
a span of 274 feet and more than 300
feet high, natural bridge, said to be
the largest known, has been discovered
by members of the Utah Archaeological
society, who have returned from an
expedition along the Colorado river in
northern Arizona, and southern Utah.
The bridge is located four miles north
OF the Arizona line in the state of Utah,
six miles east of the Colorado river.
On its top were found fossils of re-
markable size, indicating the presence
in earlier times of giant animal life.
Photographs and collection of rare
pottery and baskets used by the cliff
dwellers centuries ago were trophies of
the expedition.

ITALIANS CLAIM NO
DISRESPECT MEANT
Says He Sailed Farther Than Intended
Because United States Flagship
Was Slow in Answering
His Greetings

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-General
regret is expressed in administration
circles over the public ascribing i'm
proper motives to the commander of
the Italian cruiser Aetna. which Sat
urday morning last is reported to have
steamed between the ships of the At
lantic battleship fleet engaged in tar
get practice off the Virginia capes.
Naval officers express the opinion
that any criticism of the commander
of the vessel should be withheld until
evidence is at hand that he in any
way violated international propriety
in an effort to observe the operations
and results of the gunners' work
aboard the vessels.
The Aetna, they say, is a guest of
the nation and it would be improbable
her commander would be guilty of an
affront to our people.
The officers say the ship was on her
way to an American port and if she
slowed UP as reported when approach
ing the fleet it was in all probability
because of her intention to pass in at
the capes and make port.

Every business transaction that goes
to make up foreign trade is a bond of
peace, a hostage to the world for the
maintenance of the peace of nations.
In our time, wars are not under
taken again% the wishes of the people
and herein lies the great significance
of the event. for this delegation is
sent by and represents the industrial
people of Japan.
TT is not too much to say no more i'm
portant event than this in its bearing
on the relations of two great peoples
has occurred in half a century. 1t does
honor to the business sagaCity, the in
telligence, the patriotism and the genu-
inc love of peace of the people of both
countries.
Occasionally a person is met with
who fears that the rise of Japan as a
commercial power will result injuri-
ously to the trade of other countries.
This Is a groundless fear. AS the COM
merce of Japan increases her wealth

wealth will come increased wants and

Rich Japan Means Much

petitor for trade who brings to the

qualities in the other contestants, and
both will be the better for the earnest
competition.
with fairness and justice as the
basis of all dealings between two we'll
disposed and self-respectng nations,
commerce will flourish, prosperity will
follow and one of the most powerful
safeguards, enlightened self-interest,
will be thrown around the peace of the
world"
Judge Burlxe's address was repeated
in Japanese by an interpreter. Mr.. Zu-
moto of the Toxic Times.
Baron Shibusawa, speaking in Jap
anese, gave thanks for the friendly re-
ception of the commissioners in Seat
tie and assured his hearers of Japan's
affection for the United States.
Filled with Wonder
He said the great development of the
Pacific coast in recent years had filled
him with wonder. America had been
ESPECIALLY favored by nature, but more
important than natures favor in max
ing a nation great were qualities of its
men. The prosperity of the United
States was due to the courage, indus
try and high ideals of its people.
He looked forward to unbroken
peace and constantly increasing com
nerce between this country and Japan.
United States Senator Samuel H.
Piles proposed the toast, "The Empire
Of Japan" and B. Nakano responded.
E. F. Blaine of this city, one of the
American trade commissioners who
visited Japan last year, described the
experience of the commissioners and
their impressions of Japan. Response
was made by X. Matsukata, the great
shipbuilder of Kobe, the only speaker
of the night who needed no Interpreter,
being able to address the banqueters
perfectly in both tongues. He repeated
what he said at the Kobe banquet to
the Americans-that If the merchants
of the United States and Japan under
stood the peculiarlties of the demands
of each country there would be a tre-
mendous increase in exchange of COM
modities.
Robert S. Dollar delivered an address
of welcome in behalf of California.

WOMEN LEARN TO USE GAS

WOMEN LEARN TO USE GAS.
A new way OF earning money has
been opened to women by the gas
companies of the large cities. They
are sent to private houses and apart
ments 70 explain the use of the gas
range and of the meter with the OBJ
ject Of teaching economy In the use
of gas. According to one OF these
teachers il is a position requiring tact
as we'll as the special knowledge they
are paid TO diffuse.
"It is always possible TO make wo-
man feel Inundated when you call to
show her how to do what she thinks
she knows how to do herself" one OF
the gas enissaries is quoted in Popular
Mechanics as saying about her work.
Possibly she has complaineo TO the
gas company that the stove will not
work properly.
"The reason may be that she does
not know how TO use it, but II would
not do to tell her so. So We proceed
to find out the reason and do it so
adroitly that she still believes the
fault was with the range and not with
her, but at the same time has learned
enough to make certain that there will
be no future complaint"
Where the idea of this new depart
ment originated is not known. Chicago
has Just claimed the credit Of it, but
the gas companies of Philadelphia,
| New York and other cities also have
such departments and advance counter
claims. In Philadelphia the stan OF
women 60 from door TO door or make
special visits If called.
Among the bits of information hand
ed out by the teacher is the declara-
tion that many women make the mis-
! take of trying TO light the gas at the
same time they turn 1t on. A second
or two should be allowed to elapse be
fore applying the match so that th'
gas can expel the air. This makes
the burners work better and save
gas.
Another economical experiment 4
which many women pay little atten
ton is the simmering burner When

heat of a burner it is only necessar!
to transfer it TO the simmering burne
to leave the larger burner free TO

has a separate opening for the big toe. A
curious idea, but why notg Tho makers
and exploiters Of this new device claim for
it that Il gives the pedal extremlties a
freedom Of motion and elasticity unattain-
able with the ordinary stocking, making
the greatest difference in the poise Of the

ant muscles which, when the foot is
bound and CONSTRUCTED by the ordinary

"When a search was made for the

It may be safely eaten by a young child,
none but the most beneficial results can
be expected to attend its application to

mothers and nurses to such an extent
that Cuticura Soap and Cutlcura Oint-
ment have for many years been unhesi-
tatingly used throughout the civilized
world for preserving, purifying and
beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and
hands Of infants and children from the
hour Of birth. And greater still, If
possible, is the confidence reposcd in
Cuticura Remedies for the treatment Of
torturing and disdguring humors Of the
skin and scalp. The suffering which
they have thus alleviated among the

forded worn-out and worried parents
