The Cedars of Lebanon.

All that now remains OF the Cedars
of Lebanon is little forest of some
four hundred trees, which are rigidlv
preserved. They lie on n small fertile
plateau, situated at an altitude of six
thousand one hundred aud twenty
three feet above sea-evel The grove
Is reached from Bsherreh by a steep
aud winding road.
With the exception Of few stray
giers. the grove is incIosed by a neat
stone wall built by former governor
of Lebanon to protect the smaller
trees from goats.
The older trees have always orcu-
pied a position Of honor in the estima-
tion Of man because of their connection
with the temple built by Solomon and
the various illusions to them in the
Bible
Among the jewellers in Syria. where
forests OF tall trees do not exist. the
eedars naturally excite admiration. and

that they are undeniabIv the most

FIXING THE FASHIONS.
Drapery of Partisan Women Often Pro
claims Their Occupation.

When in Paris, it is not difficult to
see why all the world should look to
Paris for the fashions. The French are
artistic in a pre-eminent degree.
Not all the people IN Paris are impure
and degraded in their lives. When trav-
elers 90 To Paris. they frequently look
for what i bad, a-J il i not far TO
find; indeed it is very difficult to walk
the streets without seeing and recogEiZ
ing it everywhere. But there are good
people. even IN Paris, and many OF
them, and the good people are Just as
artistic by nature. and infinitely bet
ter qualified TO set the fashions than
the professedly degraded who dc Set tn

men, and to influence trade. The whole
world knows that thev belong to the
prostitute class, and Vet the whole
world is willing to accept their lead,
and pure minded and virtuous women
everywhere are willing to accept for
/
draperies which are designed to pro-
claim to all upon the street that the
party who wears it has planned it with
a special view OF suggesting evil, and
with "A view Of beguiling and enticing

AT 9 O'CLOCK
Iowa Senate Passes Substitute Bill
Which Must Now be Acted on
by House.

DIES MONIES, April 4.--Half OF the
state senate's troubles In connection
with liquor legislation were ended
yesterday when a comittee bill pro-
viding that saloons may not open be-
fore o'clock in the morning and
must close by 8 o'clock at night was
passed by a vote of 80 to II. This is
the first time full vote has been
recorded on measure during this
session.
The bill was substitute for the
Powers daylight closing measure
passed by the house. 1t will be nee
essary for the house to take action on
the bill. If the senate bill is not ac-
cepted conference committee will
be necessary.
An attempt was made to amend the
committee bill fixing the closing hour
at s o'clock instead Of O'Clock The
much talked of compromise made
early in the week evidenced itself in
the roll call on the amendment which
was defeated 20 to 81.
Senators oratorically inclined took
occasion to extend themselves on the
bill. Head OF Linn opened up with a
broadside that was continued for al
most an hour. He declared he was n
entering into any compromise and
voting the convictions of other men.
He said he thought o'clock the prop
er hour for closing because Of exist
ing conditions.

FLOOD LOSS CAN
BE PREVENTED
IT Engineering Science is Brought
Into Play, catastrophes Can
be Averted.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
CHICAGO, Apsil 4.-"Flood losses
can be prevented. The protection of
the people and their property from
floods is an engineering problem.
pure and simple. The American peo-
pie have tried to ignore the natural
law that a certain volume of water
requires certain floodway with a
certain fall and they have proceeded
blindly upon the supposition that they
could turn swamps, marshes and for
ests into towns, roads and farms with
erly used these places as reservoirs. "
This is the emphatic statement by
Edmund t. Perkins, president Of the
national drainage congress-, at meet
ing of the American reclamation fed
Grafton in the LaSalle hotel today.
The meeting was called to discuss
plans to prevent repetition of the
flood disasters which will be taken to
st, Louis April 10 at the third annual
meeting of the drainage congress.
A bill is being prepared to present
to congress.
I'VE do not contend that we can
change the natural laws said Perk-
ms, but we do declare that these
frightful flood losses come
suit of violating natural laws. We
have not provided artificial reservoirs
to replace the old storage places.
Worse than all, we have calmly de-
cided that we can largely increase
the volume of water to be taken care
of in flood seasons and keep the in
creased flow within the same flood
way.
"Tn the solution OF this problem, 1t
seems to me that every aid of engi-
neering science must be brought into
play. We will need artificial reser-
voirs, reforestration, stronger levees
hank revetment. deeper channels, and
most important Of all, we must have
wider floodways.
