An Iron Coat.

m IRON SOASs - 81. ,rEs ~
Plating iron with iron or steel with
iron is a queer new scheme for delay
ing rusting. Chemically pure iron is
nearly rustproof; SO the plating idea is
to cover iron or steel with iron that
is as chemically pure as possible. Plat
ing in much the same way that brass
, is plated with gold or nickel gives a
coat that is very close to pure iron. A
coat Of zinc over the coat of iron also
helps. r.. =
Rust is the bitterest and most per-
sistent enemy Of this age Of steel,
with its bridges and wires and sky
scrapers and machines. The ancient
Hindus had a secret method Of max
ing rustproof iron, and much iron is
now manufactured for special uses at
comparatively high. cost which is rea-
sonably. free from impurities and SO
less likely to give way to rust, but the
inventor Of completely rustproof, cheap
iron has a vast fortune awaiting him.

Aside from these political influences,

Statewide Prohibitios F;lGht
Reaches Stage of Acute Ac-

ALEXANDRIA. Va, July 26.-The
Statewide prohibition fight which will
culminate in the election to be held
September % is reaching a stage of
acute activity.
The campaign of the anti-prohibition-
lists has been under way for several
weeks, and is being conducted in a
quiet manner. No meetings have been
held, but every voter has received a
large quantity of literature calling at
tention to the failure of prohibition in
other States and the great loss of rev.
enue Virginia will suffer if the State
goes dry.
The country press is being used for
the publication of display advertising,
advising the people to vote against pro-
hibition.
The Prohibitionists plan an extensive
campaign which will include a number
of public meetings to be addressed by
well-known speakers. The first of these
meetings will be held August 4, when
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, who is known
as the Georgia Cyclone" will deliver

While the general opinion is that the

anti-prohibition fight declare there has
been a great change in sentiment within
the last few days, and that they expect
to see their side win.

IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES

Just as the American people were ap-
preaching a realization of that pro-
spective prosperity held forth by the
greatest harvest ever garnered in the
United States a damper has been
thrown over commercial and general
business activities of the world by the
political embodiment of Austria and
Servia, With the possibilities of a war,
which, if precipitated, would doubtless
involve practically every ore of the
great European powers.
While diplomatic circles are inclined
10 the belief that peaceful means may
yet be found to settle the differences
between the disputing powers. the busi-
ness world. realizing the enormity of
the catastrophe which would be en-
tailed by war, has already reflected
its fears through the practical demoral-
ization of the great securities markets.
International stocks have been cast
within the past two days upon the
bourses for whatever price they would
bring.
The Triple Alliance links Germany and
Italy to Austria Germany has already
plainly demonstrated her determination

ference by other powers with Austria s
demand. Russia, espousing Servia' s
troops along the Austrian frontier,
while the sentiment OF France has been
made clear through the criticism OF the
press of that country of the Austrian
uItimatum. The clashing OF these
great powers would leave Europe in
the throes of distpess, compared to
which the devastation OF the Ma
poleonic wars would be insignificant.
Would Cripple Commerce.

countries that the United States eX-
pected to dispose of much Of the great
crop that has or is now being reaped.
This cron is Americas principal hope
for the revival of prosperity. Should
the great European powers, however,
loosen their gigantic armaments, and
oyerrun each others provinces with in
yading armies-there would be tight
enine of nurse strings and a Gripping
of commerce such as the world has
probably never before witnessed. The
possibilities involved in such state
of affairs is already realized both by
the agriculturists and the manufactur-
ers of this country.
England has added her leaven to the
disturbed European status through the
Ulster situation. The conference, called
by King George TO amicably adjust the
home rule dispute and preclude the pos
sibilitv of strife in ireland, disbanded,
branded as a failure. The probabilities
of a clash between the home rule sup
porters and the Orangemen now seems
more imminent than ever. London has
reflected the resultant state of depres-
sion through its stock market.
Within the United States there have
been DEVELOPMENTS during the pasl
