Giant Navel ORANGE,

Although large oranges have been
shown In the Los Angeles Chamber OF
Commerce the past few years. the lar.
gest Washington navel orange ever
received by the chamber was exhibit
ed few days ago. l.. c. Weathers of
RiversiG, was the producer OF the big
orange, which weighed slightly more
than three pounds and measured six
teen inches in circumference. A Pc
culiar circumstance is attached to the
growing OF the orange. The other Or
anges on the tree were all small, and
the giant was the only piece OF fruit
large enough to eat, The tree was a
young one and was bearing only Its

POINT DU GARD.
An Ancient Concrete Bridge In tho
South of France.

An Ancient Concrete Bridge In the
South of France.
In the south of France Is q concrete
arch bridge known as the Pont du
Gard, which was erected in the year
56 3. G. The concrete In this was not
composed Of crushed stone or other
small aggregate Of the variety now EN-
ployed in concrete bridge work, but
was of the old STYLE consisting of al.
ternate layers of large and small
stones, gravel, etc, and of cement
tious materials. Vitruvius describes
the materials and methods In use be-
fore the Christian era. and other
ladio in 1910 accurately describe the
method which "the ancients" las they
call them) employed "of using boards
laid on edge and filling the space be-
tween with cement and all sorts of
small and large stones mingled to-
gether."
1t is very improbable that the Pont
du Gard would have withstood the
rigors of climate Of the northern
United States, but its actual state Of
preservation, as well as that Of many
other specimens Of ancient concrete
work, proves that If modern work is
honestly executed it will many times
outlast any reasonable bond period, so
that n very small yearly sinking fund
per cent is all that is required for
properly designed and erected concrete
work Cement Age

Insurance From italy.

Insurance came from medieval Italy.
1t is believed to date from the six
teenth century, and at that time 1t
was known in Florence. The Romans
did not know insurance. The nearest
they came to it was the practice of a
company supplying the army to re-
quire guarantee from the state
against the loss Of ships. But this
was soon abandoned, because damages
had been collected for sunken ships
too worthless to float.

Socialism in England.

Such alarming progress is Socialism
making in England that the capita
lists have established school in
London for the training of an army of
speakers on anti-Socialism Com
menting upon this new school and the
necessity for ii from. the capitalist
point of view. the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch says:
his is plainly a confession that the
progress of Socialism in England
must be systematically combatted. II
is acknowledged that conditions there
are ideal for the spread Of the social
istic propagands. The correction Of
the conditions would doubtless be a
better method than attacking the
remedies that Socialists would apply
They at least. have the courage to
admit that things are wrong and must
be changed Do their opponents ad-
nit that they are wrong but for the
wrong there is no remedy
Whether the opponents of Socialism
admit 1t or not, there is no remedy
for the things that are wrong in cap
italism. The recent special session
of congress, controlled wholly by the
trusts. proved conclusively what rem
edy capitalism has for the wrongs
that spring from 1t.
According to capitalism the remedy
for the wrongs of capitalism is more
capitalism.
The truth is that capitalism has run
its course and is now moribund, rot
ting away and in the presence of this
historic process the capitalists are as
helpless as their exploited slaves
The PostDispatch is right in say
ing that the conditions in England
are ideal for the spread of Socialism.
The same conditions are obtaining in
this country and will have the same
results.
Where capitalism prevails and full
fills his historic mission, Towering in
monopoly and killing OFF competition.
Socialism is bound to spring up and
strive and that is what is taking
place. not only in England and the
United States, but all over the world.
