Olive Oil for Leather.

Leather furniture, especially when
placed near the register. is liable to
dry and crack. An excellent method
OF keeping II from looking old and
showing cracks is to go over the leath-
er with a soft rag dipped in olive oil
and then going over the whole surface
again with dry rag. It Is not neces-
sary to go over the leather more than
once in three or four months. just
enough to keep 1t soft.

ported fields extending far down into
the southern track and shippers have
told of being shut in by ice as far
as they could see on every side of the
horizon. The size of the bergs en-
countered recently varies greatly, but
according ito reliable reports, some
reaching from 60 to 100 feet to the
tops of their walls, with pinnacles and
spires extending to a height of $50
feet or more, have not been unusual
Below the water some of these giant
bergs extend 20 a depth of 500 to 1000
feet.
For many years steamship men
have asserted that the safest place to
be is on well equipped ocean liner.
In proportion to the number carried
the statistics show there is less loss
of life and less chance of injury on
modern liner than there is in any
other means of transportation. Fleets
come and go from New York and eth
er ports with the regularity of the
tides, and those carrying mails main
tain schedule which almost equals in
punctuality that of railway mail
trains.
Transatlantic steamers travel in
well defined routes, known as steam
ship lanes" westbound and the east
bound. This reduces to a minimum
the chances of collision. But ice

for these rules and float into the paths

In ordinary circumstances these
Watertight compartments will preserve

kins, vice-president of the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock COM
an iceberg could produce SCATTERING
effects that would render ship help

sign yet known. In fore and after
collisions, where the compartments
are punctured, the lowering of either
end of the ship produces an increased
strain on the other compartments"
Granting that only the forward bulk
head of the Titanic had been crumpled
by the impact with the iceberg, Mr..
Hopkins was inclined to believe that

Gent to save the vessel. AS he was
not familiar with the relative division

T. R. WINS PENNSYLVANIA
IL National representatives at Large

king 81 to Taft 9.

Philadelphia, April 16-In one of the
most remarkable political battles of re.
cent years the people of Pennsylvania
Saturday, under the leadership OF
Theodore Roosevelt, wiped out of all
shape the Penrose machine in Penn
sylvania. By large plurality, SO
out of the 81 district national
delegates elected at the primaries
will go to Chicago pledged for
Roosevelt. Even more tragic in
its effect upon the Penrose control OF
Pennsylvania is his utter and complete
defeat in his fight for state delegates.
Penrose loses al, control OF that body,
which meets on May l. This means
tat the twelve national delegates at
large to be selected then will all be
Roosevelt delegates, which will make
the Roosevelt total from Pennsylvania
a. Chicago 67 to Taft's g. The proba-
bilities are that Ware, Black and Rams
ley, three of those accredited to Taft
from Philadelphia, will swing In line
for Roosevelt. Unofficia returns indi-
cate that the Taft forces carried less
than ten of the 81 counties in the
state. For the Democrats Wilson cas-
lily carries the state.

If you had told them that the whole

But they plainly disapproved of

dishes stayed on it the older woman
nudged the other and murmured, How

there is none. The girl in the polo

Gen. Paseual Orozco, chief of the rev

must demand that American life and
property within the republic of Mexico
be justly and adequately protected,
and that this government must hold
Mexico and the Mexican people re-
sponsible for all wanton or Illegal acts
sacrificing or endangering American
life or damaging American property or
interests.
The attitude of tie United States as
expressed to both the ieueral and

treatment OF American citizens viii
be deeply resented By the American
government and people. and must be
fully answered for oy the Mexican peo-
pie"
Acting Secretary Huntington Wilson
of the state department, who issued
special Instructions to Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson at Mexico City.
and Marion Letcher, American consul
at Chihuahua, authorized the state
ment that intervention was not con-
templated by the United States.
Ambassador Wilson was ordered to
communicate at once the views OF the
United States to the Mexican minister
for foreign affairs, and copy of his
instructions was likewise sent to
Marion Letcher, American consul at
Chihuahua, with special representa-
lions addressed to General Orozco.
General Orozco. who recently served
notice upn- the state department that
he would not recognize Marion Letcn'
er, the American consul at Chihuahua,
or James /. Long, the American consul
at Parral, over whose protest Foun-
tain was killed, as being representa-
tives of any government.
He has informed the authorities that
he will not recognize the right OF the
United States to send its mails
through Mexico except on his trains
Though declining to justify partici
patton of Americans on either side,
the United States expressly stipulates
that American combatants, when Ia

treatment in accordance with the in
ternational rules of war
The correspondence, made public
here, is admittedly the strongest de-
mand the United States is known to
have made upon Mexico for respectful
treatment of Americans, as well as

continuation of illegal acts is tending
