FIGHTING CONTINUES
ALONG TCHATALJA LINES
II Is Believed Turkey Will Enter Into
Negotiations For Peace on Basis Of
Surrender of Territory Except Small
Strip Back Of Constantinople.
tEy Associated Press.)

London, Nov. 22.-"Come on and
take them is the defiant reply of the
Turks to the demand made by the al
lied Balkan nations for the evacuation
OF the Notifications at TchatalJa in
front of Constantinople. Fighting con-
dnued today along the entire line at
Tchatalja. Bulgarians renewed their
efforts to break through the Turkish
lines, but were prevented largely
through the fire from Turkish war
ships.
1t is believed Turkey will agree tc
enter into negotiations on a basis Of
surrender of all but a reasonable STRIP
of territory back of Constantinople, the
Dardenelles and the Bosphorus. The
belief is general that the Balkans will
modify their demands, for even if they
enter Constantinople the powers insis
they will have to evacuate.

AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 22.-Secretary
Collbreath and other officers of the
American Mining Congress have ar
rived to complete arrangements for
the fifteenth annual session of that
body to be held in this city during the
first half Of next week. The impor-
tant subjects scheduled for considera-
ton and the prominence of many of
the men who will participate combine
to give promise of the most notable
gathering of its kind ever held in this
country.
The congress is a practical organ
ization, devoting itself to economic,
administrative and commercial mat
ters, or what might be termed mining,
politics, rather than to the technical
phases of mining. Its annual conven-
tions are held for the purposes of keep
ing in closer touch with. the needs OF
the mining industry. They provide an
open forum for full discussion of the
more important subjects through
which all persons who have plans fol
the betterment of mining conditions
can be heard.
The location of permanent head
quarters of the congress is one of tn
leading matters to be discussed AM
acted upon at the coming meeting
Inasmuch as the principal activities c
the national body have to do with fec
eral legislation, it is the opinion {
many of the members that it wou'
be wise to locate the permanent HON
of the mining congress in the city {
Washington, leaving to the varior
state chapters the responsibility
looking after the state legislation.

general public is awake to the fact
that there Is something unusual going
on. This condition is the result of the
special ballot" offer. It is enough In
ducement for all the candidates to be
out every day campaigning for votes.
While the campaign closes in about
four weeks, the special ballot offer has
only five days longer to run. II you
begin today you have plenty of time
to secure your six subscriptions for
six months each, and you will earn a
special ballot of $4,000 extra votes and
SIS In gold.
Yearlys Count.
One of the main points about this Of
fer is that years subscription will
count as two for six months, and a
two years subscription will count as
four. Try to secure one or two OF
these larger subscriptions as they
count big towards the special ballot.
Good Time to Enter.
This is great time for new candi

WILL, TAKE TEN HOUR LAW
CASE TO u. S. SUPREME COURT

JACKSON. Miss. Nov. 22.-Missis-
sippi's ten-hour law, upheld by the su-
preme court last Monday will be taken
to the United States supreme court for
final review as soon as the legal for
malities can be complied with.
This announcement is made by Hon.
Marcellus Green, senior counsel repre-
senting several large lumber manufac-
turing concerns, who are waging a
fight against the constitutionality of
the act.
Appeal direct from the decision of
the state court cannot be taken until
final judgment is rendered, the opin-
ion last Monday being based on a de-
murrer, and the case must now go
back to chancery for final ruling.
A suggestion of error has been filed
with the supreme court, the chief point
set up being that the tribunal followed
the minority opinion of the United
States supreme court in the Lockner
case instead of the majority opinion
in passing on the constitutionality o.
the statute. This suggestion of erroi
will probably be argued during TIE
coming week.

effects of seen movements and entasis
or cOnvexlty in curvature. He demon
strated how the Greek architects had
realized the existence Of entasis and
had constructed their horizontal beams
in convex form in order TO remove the
apparent cOncave appearance and had
given to the pillars on the Parthenon
and other ancient buildings just such
bulge as wnS necessary to destroy
the cratic effect Of a series Of parallel
columns.
In dealing with colOred shadows
Professor Stirling demonstrated the
great difficulties that occasionally be-
set the designers OF dress materials.
Recently in Manchester, he stated, Il
dispute arose between Il designer and
the weavers upon the appearance Of a
pink shade in some finished material.
The dispute would have ended in a

pink was merely an Illusion produced
By certain arrangement of other
