BANK FoRESTALLS ATTACK

New York. National City Company,

another bank. Secretary Macveagh has
insisted that the National CITY Company
does not contravene these laws. Presi-
dent Taft is acting as umpire IN The dis
pute, and his decision is expected within
few weeks. By selling its bank
stocks, it is pointed out the company
is putting itself in position to be
able to tell the president that it has met
the objections OF the attorney general.

RODGERS FLIES FROM
OCEAN TO OCEAN
MADE APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES
IN AZ DAYS.
Breaks World Records--Frenized Mob
Greets Him at Pasadena, Cal.--Gave
Reckless Exhibition.

Pasadena, Cal.-At seven minutes of
Sunday afternoon Galbraith P. Rodg-
ers was sighted by small boy on the
top row of the bleachers at Tournament
Park.
"There he comes" yelled this small
boy, thereby announcing to the world
that the greatest aviation feat OF the
times had been completed; that Rodgers
had crossd the continent with a record
of something like 1000 miles in forty
seven days in Wright biplane.
A worlds record had been established;
Rodgers was the first nAar 20 do the
wonderful feat of driving an airship
from ocean to ocean, and together with
the bowling small boy on the bleach
ers, ten or twelve Thousand other people
went crazy with tn delirihm of the rites
Of hero worship.
Far to the southwest q pin point ap-
peared in the sky. At d rate of sixty
live or seventy miles an hour, Rodgers
headed directly for the park and when he
arrived overhead of the south end of the
Sieachers the man seemed to sence the
frenzy of the crayz mass of people below
him, for he began the most fantastic
and perilous evolutions ever seen. Paul
han gave an indication of recklessness,
and poor Marty Hoxsey, in his spiral
dips and corkscrew landings, delight
fully terrorized at Aviation Park, Los
Angeles, but all of these memories be-
came puerile as the crowd watched the
dangerous feats which Rodgers performed
above their heads.
Five or six times he circled the field
in this manner, and then suddenly
swooped down to the center field, right
opposite the club cottage.

ARABS SLAUGHTERED
IN BATTLE AT TRIP0Ll
WITH FANATICAL HERc1SM THROW
SELVES BEFORE GUNS.
Aviators Do Good Work One Of Them
Drops Bomb Into Camp Of
Turks.

Rome. Official advices received here
from Tripoli state that the Arab losses
in recent engagements around Tripoli
amounted to many thousands and were
due principally to the fact that the
Arabs, fighting with their well-known
fanatical heroism, threw themselves in
front of the Italian guns, showing an
utter contempt of death and lack of
knowledge of modern warfare artillery.
It is stated that the Arabs who, after
submitting to Italian rule, treacherously
attacked the Italian rear, only to meet
death. Many were captured and were
executed, but not, however, until they
had been given trial. Many of those
who were found armed and who had not
engaged in the fighting were deported.
The Italians cite the condition Of sur
render, that the Turks agreed to give up
their arms and many of them did SO.
In clearing the oasis outside the city,
about which there have been many con-
flicting statements, the Italians stated
that they carefully removed all inoffen-
siye Arabs, women and children, before
moving upon the others.

RENEW CHINESE SLAUGHTER
Imperial Troops Slay Every One They
See at Hankow.

hongkong Fighting is still in prog
ress in Hankow. The city is described
as pile of ruins, with bodies strewn
everywhere.
The destruction of the city is de-

sands of rebels and loyalists fought all
night long in various parts of the city
and explosive shells from the imperial
batteries dropped necessarily into the
native quarter.
Shortly before midnight fire broke out
in the most thickly populated district
and in two hours the flames were sweep
ing over the entire city, devastating
great areas and taking scores Of lives.

Reigns There.

Malta.-Steamer passengers arriving
from Tripoli describe the situation there
as reign of terror. Strong military
patrols are continually conducting rig
orous house to house searches and on
the smallest pretense summary punish
nlent is meted out. Many victims have
been shot in their own houses. In the
absence of any attempt to discriminate
between friend and foe, many foreiga-
ers have taken refuge in their respective
consulates.
Italian soldiers appear to have unlim-
tied powers and, the passengers say, were
shooting down man, woman and child.

crate cemetery there will be taken
over by the national government for

Missouri will then become the first
state in the union to avail itself of
the law of congress providing that
confederate cemeteries shall be
cared for by the national government
upon compliance with certain techni-

of the appeal of the martyred Mckin-

agent of prosperity, but was entitled
to the still higher designation of ad-

that which Missouri has accepted in

WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED

There are those who still gibe at
the writers who advocate a sane and
safe observance of the Fourth of July,
because they are totally unconscious
of the success of those who acted in
concert to save American youth from
that most horrible of deaths-lockjaw.
The celebration of the Fourth in
1909 was marked by 1,225 accidents
from the careless use OF blank cart
ridges. which produced $50 deaths from
lockjaw Then the protest against
their use and for more safe and sem
sibIe celebration of the day Was be-
gun; and the following year. because
of it, the total of blank cartridge acct
dents was reduced to $50. about 50
per cent; and the deaths from lock-
jaw TO 81, or less than one -half the
number on the preceding year
This represents the good accomplish
ed by these 'cranks'' for the general
public in one year of good work; and
they have no notion of stopping until
the blank cartridge and the dynamite
NRscrackers. and other dangerous ex-
plosives are driven from the market.
To be sure. it cuts out the receipts
to the manufacturers and retailers, the
doctors and the undertakers. but those
who have been blessed and benefited
have reason to lend their support to
the movement and to feel grateful to
the starters of it for the good which
has been so speedily accomplished
1t is hoped the interest of parents
and others will still further reduce
these accidents and horrible deaths
this year. since the saving of life is
one Of the noblest occupations of man.

A SERMON TO COUNTRY DWELL
ERS

Logan Waller Page. director of the
United States office of public roads.
at Washington does not think that the
back to the farm movement has the
attractions which are generally attrib-
uted to it. He believes there is more
suffering in the isolated. cold and lily
ventilated homes in the country than
in the slums of the cities. and that of
the two city life is more attractive.
The director says:
1T is due to the inactivity and lack
of cooperation among the farmers
that country districts have become de-
populated. The back to the country
movement has had considerable
vogue at sumptuous banquets in Cit
les. but the movement has not gotten
far out of town. for the simple reason
that life in the slums, despite all theo-
ries, frequently is much more livable
than life in the country.
While fine phrases can be made in
the discussion of the joy and health of
hard labor in the open air and under
the sun. it is fact that conditions in
the cities are much more healthful to-
day than conditions in the country.
Sanitation is better. and the air in
tenements is little worse than the air
in many country houses where, be-
cause of the extreme cold and lack of
proper heating apparatus, the windows
must be kept closed from October I'M
til May.
Improper sanitation, poor drainage
and poor highways in the country
have brought about as great a per-
centage of diseases as exist in the
city. While country people are free,
as rule. from tuberculosis, they are
extremely liable to typhoid fever.
pneumonia and other diseases that are
brought on by improper drainage and
improper ventilation.
The work that is being done to-
wards the Improvement of roads
throughout the country will change
this condition. Improved roads will
give to the country districts the inn
prcvements enjoyed by fashionable
suburbs, and will improve drainage
and wipe out isolation. In most locali-
ties, life on farms invariably becomes,
as a result of bottomless roads. isolat-
ed and debarred of social enjoyment
and pleasures, and country people in
some communities suffer such disad-
vantages that ambition is checked, en-
ergy weakened and industry paralyzed
Under such conditions. il is bit natur-
al that persons engaged in farming.
especially the younger folks, should
seek the life and gayety of the cities.
There they feel they Will find recrea-
ton, variety, youth, beauty and music
-4rhe difference between good and
bad roads is often equivalent to the
difference between profit and loss.
Money wisely expended for this pur-
pose is sure to return tenfold; and
now that the states are expanding in
the aggregate one million dollars
day for road Improvement, conditions
in the country are likely to be so i'm
proved that the trend toward the city
will be stopped and the overflow in
the cities Will turn to the country"

There is no boon like climbing lad
der from the very lowest rung. 1t calls
out all the stuff that is in youngster,
as that could not be challenged were he
lifted by favoring arms to a round half
way up the LADDER before he put forth
any effort himself.
But even for the man who does
not seek or want a pull" there Is
something nobler than the mere a.
tainment counts desirable. The crucial
question is. Do you want most DO make
a success in your business, in your
profession or do you want most TO
succeed with your life? Is your heart
set on thrones, or does your scheme
include the possibility of drinking
many a bitter cup?
do not believe that any healthy
happy youth should start out deliber-
ately to seek as many crosses as he
can possibly find. Only let him moi
blind his eyes to the fact that life IN
its noblest sense means the forth put
ting of all ONES energies in behalf
of others. that career keyed to self
ishness must in the long run prove
a painfully unsatisfying career, and
that the man who takes as his watch
words duty and service Will alone
in the long run make good"
To live for others means that now
and again and again one will have
to put to his lips the cup of sell
denial of sacrifice, that when God or
dars life differently from what he
would like to have it ordered he VIII
put to his lips willingly the cup of
disappointment that when every
thing goes wrong he will be willing
even to drink the CUP of woe.
Fear not the cups. Do not be toe
quick to say that you can easily quaff
them, but on the other hand. in your
thought of the rich splendid days be
fore you. let not the thrones of power
allude you. but the great. beautiful
fields of service Let the cup be the
token of your willingness to undergo
any hardships in order that your wit
ness to the world concerning truth
and righteousness may be constant
and far-rea ching.

THE HIGH TIDE OF MATRIMoNY.

June, 1911, has maintained the repu-
tation OF the month of roses as the
most popular month in the year with
brides. From all the great centers of
population come reports of more mar
riages than usual and the total in the
country is believed to be far above the
average.

cording to Clerk Salmonson. who has
been issuing marriage licenses for so
many years that three generations in
many families have those which he
has autographed. Last year Cupid
scored 1.S41 licenses in the same peri
cd. According TO the inevitable esti-
mate of the cost, these matrimonial
ventures run into several million dol
lars, for among them there have been
some nutpials. with all the etceteras,
which cost extravagant sums. So many
OF the others were plain, unadorned
marriages that the judges of the mu-
nicipal courts have found Cupid's bus
mess continually interfering with
their calendar cases. The alarm caused
by judge of that court who declared
the marriages performed in the coun-
~ building by a certain Justice of
