A Prehistoric Idea About Divorce.

Senator RansdelIs idea OF a constitutional amend
ment to forbid absolute divorce with right To re-
marry in this country is worse than archaic it is
positively prehistoric. The bit of sense In his
entire proposal is that there should be uniform laws
regarding marriage and divorce But when such
uniform laws enacted ii is safe to predict that
they will not be on the basis OF the statutes If

There never was a divorce which wasn't the issue
of destroyed home. not the cause. Divorce l. not

BUILDING AND LOAN.

A building and loan association at
Washington, has run its natural
course and is closing up its affairs.
The Journal says that two hundred
homes in that place have been built
through this association and that it
has loaned almost 100000 to Its
members. ~"
Fairfield had a like experience with
building and loan associations, but
says the Ledger, state officials who
saw dreams of wealth in the so-called
foreign association placed such re-
strictions about the locals that they
could not exist. Every thriving town
in Iowa is unable at this time 10 pro-
vide homes for the people who desire
to remove to it. Practically every
factory in Fairfield is short OF help
because it cannot give shelter to those
who apply for employment. while it
Is said that thirty additional travel
ing men would make their homes
here If they could find suitable
houses. There are places in Iowa for
a. hundred loan and building associa-
tiOns, and, the, men who meet at Des

RARE METALS.

The production of tungsten ore in
the United States during 1912 was
equivalent to about 1880 short tons
carrying 60 per cent of tungsten tri-
oxide, valued at $502,15S. The out
put for 1912 was larger than that for
1911, when 1,139 tons, valued at $407,,
9S5 were produced. The total amount
of tungsten produced in the world in
1912 was 9,115 short tons. Tungsten
finds considerable use in the manufac'
ture. of tungsten incandascent lamps,
which have now become common even
on street and railway cars, were the
usage is especially severe. An account
of the tungsten industry in this and

The RouSTAROuT.

We are not going to tell you al
about The Alamo" but no letter
/ from San Antonio would be complete
without some mention of this famous
old Mission and cradle of Texas
bravery and independence. The Ala
mo mission house was the first of a
series of six which were established
along the San Antonio river by the
Franciscan Friars, monks of the
Catholic faith who came to this vi
cinity first about 1890 or 1851. The
building was started in 1714, hence is
now 200 years old and is apparently
good for several centuries to come
The, good that it might have done in
the work for which it was intended
is now almost forgotten, or at least
so wholly eclipsed by the famous
battle and massacre, that the monks
and their converts are given only a
passing mention in the guide books.
The fortunes of war and the role
of a martyr always seem to gather
and hold more popular attention than
the recital of the peaceful and self
sacrificing work of the Saints who
and make the world better for their
efforts. But the battle OF the Alamo
is no commonplace incident among
the great struggles of ancient or mod
ern history. II was here that Col.
James Bowie, Davey Crockett and
some two hundred others fortified
themselves and held out for fourteen
days against force of 1000 Next
cans under Santa Ana. When the
fort was finally carried by assault,
over two hundred Mexicans lay dead
on the field, and with fiendish re-
yenge, Santa Ana ordered that every
male person in the fort be put to
death. His orders were carried out
religiously.
During the seige Bowie was SER
iously iii and had to lie on his cot
all the time. Nevertheless he died
using his famous knife made
from file, after exhausting all of his
pistol ammunition. Thermopylae
had her messenger OF death, the Al
amo had none" IL was a terrible
slaughter and merciless savagery,
done under the pretext OF war. And
when it was done the conqueror or
iered that the bodies be heaped in
TWO great funeral pyres and burned.
Alternate layers OF wood and corpses
we're placed, and the whole saturated
With oil and grease. The torch was
applied and the pyres burned for three
lays, leaving nothing OF the heroes
tut ashes. But Santa Ana soon paid
he penalty TO General Houston and
rexas threw of the yoke Of Mexico
oreyer.
