But it will be asked, what chance has
this bold German Briton Of carrying
out his Americanized project?
1t was to find out that Sir Max
Waechter last year made a political pill
grimage through Europe. In a conver-
sation which MI. Charles Lowe reports
in the Contemporary Review, Sir Max
Waechter declared that so far from
finding the sovereign statesman of the
old world hostile they are prepared to
consider their inevitable A~mericaniza-
ton with open mind.

THAT EUROPE

VIM. T. Stead in the New York American.
Kipling's oft quoted line. what do
they know of England; who only Eng
LAM know?" may be applied with equal
force to Americans. whose ms of Wis
ion is limited to the United States. OF
such there are many millions. Nothing
surprises me more in talking to the
average educated American than his
ignorance of the extent to which Amer
lean ideas are Transforming the world.
On this fact there can be no doubt.

The most important development of

Of late years was the opening of the
International parliament Of agriculture

the world. That institution, the full
significance Of which is as yet but
little appreciated, either in the old
world or the new, was the direct pro-
duct OF American thought. Mr.. Lubin,
a citizen from the Pacific coast, brought
the idea to Europe, where it found a
cordial welcome and a permanent home.
But behind them all. invisible as the
atmosphere whose pressure all men
feel, was the American idea-the only
formative idea, inspiring the confer
ence. The idea of a free federation of
sovereign independent states living to-
cling all their differences by the inn

GUARD SHELTER ENTRANCE
Foreigners Seem Determined That No
Laborers Shall Enter the
Works.

The strike situation at Murray is Just
the same now as it was when the waIkout
occurred. Practically no understanding
has been had as yet as to when work will
be resumed at ihe Murray smelter and
from indications at the present time the
foreigners are of the opinion that they
will have their old jobs back again. Very
few of them are leaving town, although
yesterday morning a number left for Bling
ham. Tie strikers have taken 1t upon
themselves 20 sec that no one enters the
American smeIter TO go to work and dur
inc the past wetE they have more than
demonstrated their zeal along this line
by always being at the gate when the
whistle for commencing and quitting work
is blown. During the day d party of about
eight or nine IS constantly on guard at the
main entrance.
Before work ran be resumed at the
smelter the five furnaces that were in
operation at the time Of the walkout will
have to be barred out This is made nee
essary by the fact that they frOze four
days after the general walkOut, and the
lead has all settled in the bottom OF the
crucibles To bar out these furnaces and
then rebuild them will cost the smelter
nice little sum What ore that has been
coming 10 the smelter is now being sent

RIVER NAVIGATION IS
BEING INVESTIGATED
Government Inquiring Into Condi-
ditions of Grand and Green Rivers
in Utah and Colorado.

Are the Grand and Green rivers suit
able for commercial navigation in Utah
and Colorado? That is a question which
the government Is attempting to decide.
and If the agents now here decide that
the rivers can be made navigable work
will be started to make them so within a
short time
Under the leadership Of Ross Wheeler.
the veteran pilot of the Grand river, Lieu
tenant Charles T. Leeds Of the govern
ment engineering corps. and l.. c. Eas-
ton. chief clerk of the Los Angeles de
partment OF the geological survey. are
now in the Grand river country making a
tour of inspection They are aboard a
skiff seeking the junction Of the two
rivers.
The investigation to be undertaken by
these officials viii extend to statistics on
the productions of the country drained
by these streams and to determine
whether sufficient tonnage can be guar
anteed to make the navigation of the two
rivers profitable
There are reasons to believe that the
rivers can be made navigable TO such an
extent that an abundance Of good may
result The government officers seem to
believe this and they state that the gov
eminent entertains the idea that river
commerce in this section will give splen-
did returns for the money and time in
vested There is no river commerce at
the present time upon either of these
streams. The matter of gathering data is
in charge Of Captain Amos A. Erie, corps
of engineers. L. 5. A, 732 Central build

Presently the fly win be about; indeed,
he is already present in his infancy. He
is d menace and a peril. He Is a thing
TO be destroyed Every fly that lives
and lays her eggs IS the mother-heaven
save the maTk!-of from 100000 TO 20O.-
coo young. Each one Of these lays eggs,
after maturity, approximately every
day. In a season the multiplicity Of
their number is beyond belief; IL runs
beyond the billion mark, the statistics
show. State and local health authori-
ties urge the Importance Of determined
warfare on flies.
Various methods Of exterminating the
fly have been tried. In the days Of long
ago the good housewife used TO butter
and sugar piece of bread, on the bot
tom side" cut a hole in the bread and
suspend it over a vessel Of water. She
would wait for the flies to find the
sugar, and every once in while she
would tap the upped side Of the slice,
knocking the flies into the water.
The recent agitation against the fly
has developed many serious as well as
semi-serious ideas about the destruc-
ton Of flies.
The most ehicacious fly killer, accord
ing to hardware dealers and health au-
thorities, are the little hand brooms. 1t
is really not necessary to strike the fly,
for there is set in action such an ele-
ment-electricity perhaps-that par
alyzes the hy's wings. The advantage
of these killers are that they may be
applied TO a bald mans head while he
is asleep without him ever knowing
much about it. The killing of a fly on
the daintiest of lace fabric is not really
an act of violence against either the
lace or the fly. for the reason that the
fly is in a state of ''inOcuous duestuede"
before his body is mutilated. and the
only thing then left to do is to sweep
him up.
Types Of fly traps are shown here
with. Most of them are familiar to the
hOusekeeper. It may be added in addi-
ton that the way to exterminate flies,
so far as may be this year, is by fol-
lowing these rules:
