George had some very brave words upon
the tip OF his tongue

George was alone. He produced one Of
his precious cigars and lighted it. Then
he drew over his feet one of the empty
saddle bags, wrapped his blanket round
him. and sat smoking and thinking till

The cold dew of dawn was the tonic
that recalled him from the land of gro
tesque dreams. Aae sat up and rubbed
his face briskly with his hands, drying

and as satisfying a toilet as he had ever
made. There was no activity in camp:
evidently they Were not going to start
early. The cook alone was busy. Tho
fire was cracking, the kettle was steam
ing, and pot of plessant-smelling coffee
leaned rakishly against the hot ashes.
The flap to Fortunes tent was still closed
And there was Ryanne, sitting with his
knees drawn up under his chin, his hands
clasped about his shins, and glowering
at no visible thing.
"HelIo!' cried George. Found your

Ryanne eyed him without emotion

George didn't ask what that was.
Where do you think he's taking us?''
"Bagdad, If we don't die upon the way

which they had been literally paid. While
he had spent much time in the orient and
had ridden camels. a real caravan, pre-
pared for weeks of travel. was a distinct
novelty; and SO he viewed all with inter

few days he would look upon these ac-
tivities with a dull, hopeless anger. He
went back to- the girl and sat down be-
side her.
Have you any idea why you are here?
NO; unless he saw me in the bazaars

investigation will be extensive and repre-
sentative of all sections of the country.
1t will not attempt to explain the figures
it gathers. but will simply prepare the
data and allow the statesmen and econ0-
mists to draw their own conclusions. II
the movement now on foot for an inter
national commission shall pan out, it Is
probable that the machinery of the United
states bureau of labor will be utilized
in the proposed worldwide effort to find
out who is responsible for the higher cost
OF living and how 1t affects the average
individual
A number of years ago Congress ap-
pointed an industrial commission to in
vestigate industrial and living conditions,
and to endeavor to fix the responsibility
for evils then existing. This commission
gathered testimony and made a report
OF books which would fill DIR. E,liot's
hve-foot book shelf. 1t was this investi-
cation which brought out such famous
and oft-quoted expressions as that of
Henry o. Havemeyer. who testified that
1.-The protective tariff is the mother of
trusts. The net result of the entire
investigation, which cost many thousa nds
of dollars, was that each side expressed
its own views and left the issue as much
in doubt as ever. During 1910 a number
various phases of the subject A Senate
committee, of which Senator Lodge was
chairman, investigated the matter. Its
hearings filled four volumes and led to
two reports, one signed by the republic
cans and the other by the democrats.
Its conclusions were just as wide apart
as the conclusions of the industrial COM
mission, and of every other partisan body
which has investigated the subject.
There never has been q thorough in
vestigation into the relation of wages,
salaries and earnings to the increase in
the cost OF living. Neither has there been
an investigation into the price to the
producer, the wholesaler or jQober. the
retailer and the consumer of any GER
tain commodity at definite time. In
formation is also wanted on the cost of
production as compared with the cost
of distribution and sale of commodities,
and on the price of farm products at the
farm, at wholesale trade centers, and to
the consumer.

SOndllY

Atlanta, Ga, Nov 22.-"Personally

congress-" said Col. Dudley NJ
Hughes, congressman from the Third
district until March 4, and the Third
district after that time, who was in
the city yesterday to meet several of
his friends from over the district.
But politically" continued Col
Hughes, 81 am for the extra session
and / hope we will pass every tariff
which was passed and vetoed
at the last session"
Col. Hughes left this morning for
a run over his district before leaving
for Washington next week to be pres
ent at the opening of congress in De-
cember. He said that there had been
an extra session of congress ever
since he had been elected to the house.
However, in speaking of the approach
ing session he displayed the enthus-
iasm Of all good democrats over the
fact of their getting once more in
full power. He said the extra session
ought to start to work on March
fifth.

GRAFT SKIN OF DOG
ON A WOMAN'S ARM
Terrier Bound to Patient For
Seven Days

Chicago, Nov. Announcement was
made at the WonIan's Rhodes Avenue
Hospital today of the successful OUT
come of case of skin grating in
which large flap of the skin of a
Skyeterrier was placed over a wound
on the arm of Mrs. H. W. Johnson of
Monominee Wis, caused by an opera
ton for tubercular ulcer.
The operation, rare one, took place
several days ago, and last evening
Mrs. Johnson returned to her home,
taking with her the dog which haf
contributed to her convalescence.
I'VE had to keep the skin and flesh
alive while we transferred it from the
dog to our patient" Dr. Carl Ander-
son. who performed the operation,
said today. so we sewedI two-thirds
of the skin on the arm and left the
Remaining third on the dog. Then We
bound the dog and patient together in
a plaster cast and kept them in this
position for seven days, after which
the remaining one-third of skin could
be removed from the dog without
harm.
The dog was nourished largely
with milk. It was a difficult task to
keep him silent"

STARVE THE FLY;
DON'T SWAT HIM
That's The Advice of Chairman Hatch
To American Civic Association.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 22.-Present-
ing the report of the fiy-fghting COM
mittee of the American Civic associa-
ton to the eight annual convention OF
that body Chairman Edward Hatch,
Jr., expressed the hope that there
would be no more fly-killing contests.
This sentiment took the fiy-fighters
by surprise, which was dissipated,
however, when Mr.. Hatch said:
eve cannot insist too much or too
often upon cleanliness as the begin
ming, middle and end of the tiy-fght-
ing campaign Swat the fly as slo-
gan must give way to 'Starve the fly!'
The latter is more euphonious and in
fnitely more practical"
Mr.. Hatch said that the committee
was able to report the most success
full years work since the Inaugural
ton of the popular movement looking
to the determination of the house fly
in 1908 He summarized a series OF
reports coming from cities and towns
in all parts of the country, and said
that the campaign now is becoming
worldwide in it's extent, and that let
ters asking for advice has been re-
ceived by the committee from cores
pondents in France, England, Italy,
Ireland, India, Egypt, the Philippines,
Korea, Australia, Hawaii, Singapore,
Cuba and Venezuela. In it's conclud
ing phases the committees report
made a feature of the fact that in cit
les in which substantial cash prizes
were awarded, in no case did the
number of flies killed in the whole of
campaign exceed the quantity which
could easily have been reared from an
averaged size pile of stable refuse in
the course of few weeks. While the
educational value of such fly-killing
campaigns cannot be over-estimated,
the report said that it would seem
that greater results might be OBJ
tanned by conducting campaigns
against dirty stables and back yards,
garbage heaps and dumps and all
places that produce flies and supply
them with infection.

establish its capital at Uskuz, the seat
of the kings of it's ancient glory. The
Serbs also hope to establish a SerV-
ian port at Durazzo, thus affording a
water outlets for their products. Up
to the present, landlocked, she has
been at the mercy of Austrian tariffs
and embargoes.
Austria, moreover, holds Croatia

Servias ambition to unite these and
Montenegro in a grand Slavic nation.
And. BESIDES. Austria cevets the
Adriatic shore now held by Turkey,
thus clashing with the modest hope of
Servia for a port at Durrazo.
Austria is German. She is pressed
on the north by the great Slavic power
of Russia. She breads another Slavic
power on the east such as reunited

southern Slavs. This is the meaning

Montenegro-the country of the
Rlack mountain-has an area about
equal to that part of New Jersey
south of a line drawn from Trenton
to Atlantic City. 1t has population
less than that of Lackawanna county
Pennsylvania. The Montenegrins are
of the same race as the Servians. They
have fought the Turks for 400 years
and have never been conquerer.
Although the ancient empire of Bull
2alia was extensive and powerful, the
country was SO buried under Turkish
tyranny for 400 years that its very
existence was forgotten by Europe.
When Servia in 1S77-78 won her in
dependence, the Turks wre forced to
grant autonomy to Bulgaria. The Bull

tional hopes dead for centuries sprang
into life.
Although nominally a vassal state
OF Turkey, Bulgaria set about train

OF destroying the power of the Mos

Buigarians were building one of the
