A HIGHLY Emcient Dody.

The long hearings before the Interstao %
Commerce Commission in the Eastern
freight rate case havo established sew
eral important points. One Is that tho
commission has become body of real
experts on railroad affairs. People who
attended the hearings came away from
Washington with a higher opinion OF the
ability OF that body than they were
disposed to grant II before. The wide and
detailed knowledge Of railroad questions
displayed by several members in particu-
lar was a frank surprise to the railroad
men and the whole handling of the case
impressed them with deep respect for
the character and ability OF the commits

Asbestos is one of the great sur
prises in the mineral kingdom. On
account of it's finely fibrous, flexible,
incombustible character it is spun into
yarn and woven into cloth for the
clothing of firemen and foundry men
who are exposed to heat that would
burn ordinary clothing. 1t is extern
sively used for theatre curtains and
has saved many audiences from the
horrors of confiagration. A report by
]. S. Diller, of the United States geo.
logical survey, on the production of
asbestos in 1913, now in press, shows
that while the United States produces
little raw asbestos, II is the largest
producer of objects manufactured
from asbestos. Canada Is the heaviest
producer of raw asbestos, and more
than half the worlds supply is brought
into the United States from Canada
and manufactured into various COM
mercial products.
In 1913 the United States produced
! 100 short tons. There were two pro-
ducers in Georgia, both furnishing as
bestos of the amphibole type, and one
in Arizona is Just beginning to pro-
duce chrysotile. The difference be-

livered a typical illumination against
the tariff, should silence similar at
tacks for some time to come.
Senator Smoot picked out the month
OF April to give him the figures to
serve his purpose. and with these fig
ures he was able to show that there
was "a loss I'm exports OF S37.434. $50 in
q single month" Senator Smoot also
called attention TO the fact that in
April imports exceeded exports by s1O,-
271,S72. This is a balance OF trade
against the United States, and Smoot
gave the point proper emphasis.
But Secretary Redfield replied COM
pletely. In his letter he wrote: Look
ing back to the last time when i'm
ports exceeded exports. we discover
that it was while the Payne-Aldrich
law was in effect that this event took
place.
1.-The trade balance in our favor dur
ing the ten months ending with April,
1910. was $17O.951. 416, or over $780,

only so, but during the first year of the

ASBESTOS THE UNIQUE MINERAL

, tween the two types is merely in
chemical composition.
\ notable event of the year in the
asbestos industry of the United States
has been the opening of this new To-
| cality in Arizona, about 80 miles north
east of Globe, for the high-grade
chrysotile such as occurs in the depths
of the Grand Canyon. In occurrence,
origin, quality, and quantity this de-
posit is essentially the same as that
of the Grand Canyon district, but it
is much more accessible, being in a
canyon about 500 feet deep and within
80 miles by trail and wagon road from
the railway. 1t is associated with
limestone and in this respect is
strongly contrasted with the asbestos
of Canada, which is found in serpen-
tine rock, derived from peridotite.
The remarkable fiber from Arizona
when twisted to a yarn 0.03 of an inch
in thickness will support an average
weight of 1512 pounds. Its content of
iron is decidedly lower than that of
the Canadian fiber, and for that reason
1t is better for insulating purposes.

tains a map and section of the Arizona
deposit.

The Daily Story
The Northern Tutor-By Willard Brakeman.
Copyrighted 1914 by Associated Literary Bureau.

some sixty years ago Edward La
nier. graduate OF northern college,
having read much of plantation life,
felt inclined to spend a fev years in
the south as tutor Of the children OF a
planter. He desired to study law. but
must support himself while doing so.
BY following his proposed course he
would have much time to himself and
live an entirely different life from
what he would live in the north.
Lanier, through friends. obtained the
position he desired in the family Of
Colonel Malcolm Sinclair, who owned
large plantation in Georgia and 1000
negroes. He found the colonel an hon.
orable, conscientious man and thor
oughly identified with southern Gus
toms and interests. The oldest son
was fifteen, and Lanier was expected
to prepare him for college. A daugh-
ter, Alma. seventeen, was also to re-
ceive instruction from him. The other
children were from seven to twelve
If there is one principle concerning
their children that parents are apt to
ignore it is that, given a young man
thrown In intimate relationship with a
young woman, and there usually re-
suits a love affair. One of Edward
Lanier's duties was to teach Alma Sin
clair an hour a day. He lived under
the same roof with her, and their as
sociadon was unrestricted Whether
Colonel and Mrs. Sinclair did not think
their daughter old enough to fall In
love, or whether they considered that
she would not think OF northern pen
niless tutor as a sutton, does not mat
ter; they seemed obliyious to the prin-
ciple above stated.
Lanier realized that he was hired to
teach their daughter, not to make love !
to her. Indeed, the kindness and con- |
sideration with which he was treated |
by the family, the liberty accorded |
him, threw him on his honor not to at
tempt to win the heart of girl Of the |
impressionable age of seventeen Alma
herself soon showed signs of prefer
ence for her tutor. This was in no
wise due to a lack of modesty, but to
an innocent Inconsistencies that she
had lost her heart to him.
When Lanier saw in his pupil signs
of love it troubled him. What compli-
