The Amendments.

JEFFERSON CITY, September 10Th.
The seventh of the series of arguments
on the measures to be submitted to
vote at the coming eyoGtlcn Va to-
day issued by Secretary of State Cor
nelius Roach. Those wishing to vote
intelligently on Propositions Nine
and Ten should preserve this article.
The sole purpose in giving these argu-
ments is to furnish information to the
voter, and the Secretary of State is in
no way responsible for assertions
made on either side of any subject
discussed.
The champions of Propositions No.
8 give the following reasons why the
measure should be adopted:
The 'sfull crew" bill, which passed
the 47th General Assembly and which
has been referred to the voters, will
appear on the official ballot at the
general election in November as
Proposition No. 8. This law as passed,
is more liberal to the railroads than a
majority of the laws, now in effect
in other States, covering this question.
Full crew laws in Arkansas, Arizona,
Calltornid. MARY iahu, NUW JoIsoJ,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, washington
and Oklahoma have been IN force for
several years, and the average num-
her OF cars is much less than the law
asks in Missouri. In this State, this
law calls for an extra brakeman on all
trains over 45 cars, which seems fair
and reasonable to the companies. II
this law is sustained by the voters in
the November election, it will mean
much to the safety Of the travelling
public and will expedite the handling
of all trains.

CENSUS Of CHURCHES
IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR
Part of Preparation for Fifth An
nual Observance in
November.

4 tuberculosis census OF thousands OF
churches in various parts of the country
will be taken in September. under the di-
rection of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis. The census will be part Of the prep
aration for the fifth annual tuberculosis
day, to be observed during the week of
November 90.
The ministers of several thousand
churches will be asked to report on the
number of deaths from tuberculosis in
the last year, the number of living cases
in their parishes September l, the num-
her of deaths from all causes, and the
number of members or communicates.
These figures will be made the basis Of
an educational campaign, which will cul
inmate in the tuberculosis day movement,
for which occasion sermon and lecture
outlines and other forms of tuberculosis
literature will be distributed free to
ministers.
Last year nearly $4,000 churches
schools and other bodies took part in
The tuberculosis day observance. The
movement had the Endorsement of lead
ing church officials of every denomina-
ton. More than 1900 anti-tubercu
losis societies scattered all over the
country will work this year to make
tuberculosis day success.

LION IN LONDON.
Fossil Bones of Great Cat Found Far
Under Fleet Street.

From the Lopdon Chronicle
For the man who passes down Fleet
street in a motor bus it is a little
difficult to reconstruct the locality as a
vast swamp, or perhaps a tangled forest,
in which the mammoth and the woolly
rhinoceros ranged. and the lion sought
his prey. Any yet there Is nothing more
certain than that these beasts were once
the principal inhabitants of what has
now become the home of newspapers.
Curiousiy enough, it has fallen to the
lot of two newspapers, the Daily
Chronicle and Lloyd's Weekly News. to
collect the evidence that these things
actually were, and the evidence has been
accepted by biologists as conclusive
proof of their existence.
lew weeks ago. in the course of ex-
cavations for the new Daily Chronicle
build ng on Fleet street. the worknen
came across a number of bones at
depth of thrty-three feet below the
present level of the street. and about
historic remains were found In 1903.
They were forwarded to the South Ken
sinston Museum for examina tim, and
experts In the geological department
had no difficulty In Identifying them.

geological department of the Br .tish
Museum. described one of the speci-
mems as "a beautiful piece of armbope

Ing is the bone of the lion. How did
I recognize it," he said. Well, that
is quite simple. Scientifically. the fossil
may be described as the 'entepicondylar
foramen.' which is characteristic Of the

is to be found in the humerus Of the
lion of today. There is no mistakins

AS to the lion. there is some difference
of opinion among scientists. DIR. Smith
Woodward would not go farther than to
say that it might have been more like a
tiger, and suggested the authority of
Owen. This is what the great naturalist
says about the cave lion-or tiger:
1T is too commonly supposed that the
lion, the tiger and the jaguar are ami
mails peculiarly adapted to tropical
climate. The genus felis is. however,

These are countries, however. each
of which has only a few special points
of interest, especially for Americans
who look on South America primarily
as 4 field for selling goods The prln-
cipal commercial and material prog
ress, as mentioned, is in the countries
to the south and in southern braz'i'
where the temperate climate ana the
agricultural possibilities have some
thing of the same effect in inspiring
energy as in the northern part OF the
United States.
In considering the commodities "hfcn
Europe has been supplying these coun-
tries and which will now for time
be effectua1ly shut off, it is rather sur
prising to find that the principal one
is not a manufactured article at all
but one of the raweSt of raw materials
This is coal, and it comes in enormous
quantities to the non-tropical countries
of South America, principally from the
mines of wales.
1t is used in very large part for fuei'
fof power purposes and for cooking,
as South Americans do not generally
use heating apparatus of any kind. and
in some parts even where it is cold the
natives would look with wonder on
heating stove or a furnace.
In Argentina oil stoves are coming
into use and the weather. houses are
being fitted with. heating systems like
those in other countries. but heating
apparatus is by no means general. In
Chile it is said to be not uncommon to
see a family sitting indoors during the
cold weather dressed in furs, as they
consider indoor heating unhealthful.

those costing $4,000 to $4,000 are in

The French, Belgian, English and
Italian makes, which, as a rule, repre-

the recognized competitors in the HELD

present war will give American manu-
factnrers of the better grade of cars
a great opportunity to demonstrate
that the high-class American car will
compare with any on the market, a
fact which: will doubtless make many
motorists in South America open their
eyes. ~
One of the principal articles of trade
in demand in South America is cotton
goods, which are supplied chiefly by
Great Britain, and in smaller amounts
by Germany, France and the United
States. Including yarn, Argentina takes
some s3o,o0o.oo0 worth of cotton goods
Ia year and Brazil over $4,000, 000
worth. Most Of this enormuos amount
comes from the greatest cotton manu-
featuring district in the werld-the
city of Manchester and the surrounding
regions.
Even before the war began, however.
the mills of Manchester were suffer-
ing considerable depression and now
