FLAG Of ReIalum.

The Belgian flag p%erpetuates the
colors of the duchy of Brabant, and
was adopted when the monarchy was
set up in 1881. The red, 1t should be
noted by those who wish to use it cor
rectly, forms the fly of the flag, the
yellow the middle, and the black the
hoist. The Russian Imperial navy flies
the ancient blue satire of st. Andrew
on a white ground.

everybody, and his place cannot be

MISSOURI candidates for congress

already sworn to their expenses while
by the fourth of December, all will be
in. The expenditures of nine demo-
cratic candidates for congressman
varied but little. W. P. Borland top
ped the list with 500 25, while Walter
Hensley of the thirteenth district
coughed up $554.25 the smallest
amount of the nine, Joseph J.. Russell
extracted $673.25 from his jeans dur

view the measure is ubiquitous in that
it eontroverts the fundamental tenets

lines and make home-rule a felony.
1t would scatter thousands of little
measly detectives all over the land and
no domicile would be secure from their
insolent intrusion, Citizens would be
hailed from their homes to distant

WAR INSURANCE
BILL is PASSED
Senate Accepts House Amendments and
It Is Ready for Presidents
Signature.

Washington, Sept. lin another week
the proba bilities are the country will
have opportunity to judge whether the
| legislation which Congress has project
ed to deal with the shipping situation is
to be of considerable benefit to the
United States.
The war risk insurance bill went
through conference yesterday by the
Senate agreeing to the House amend
ments II will be signed by the pres
ident before the end of the week. At
the treasury department it was stated
that there would be no delay in getting
the measure into operation.
No elaborate organization is needed
for the proposed bureau of war risk in
surance. Secretary McAdoo can put 1t
on its feet in short order, if he gets
about it. and it is understood that he
is impressed with the value of quick ac-
ton.
With the war risk insurance measure
in operation, it is also expected that
the Ship registry bill win promptly be
pnt into operation. The president, on
his return from Cornish, il is promised
will announce the policy OF the govern
ment under the new bill, and viii indi-
cate how far existing laws are 70 be
suspended in favor OF ships entering
American registry.
When the war risk bill was before
the Senate it was indicated that the
government would not do much if any
insuring but that the bill would prove
valuable club over the heads of private
corporations. Now it is declared the
government viii start into the business
of granting war risk insurance without
waiting around to see what the private
companies will do.
Undoubtedly large shipments of grain
and other American foodstuffs and prod
ucts are being made. Reports to the
treasury indicate this. The chief conges-
ton now is in New Orleans and Calves
ton, and this is being cleared up
Reports coming TO Washington indicate
that business men everywhere are dis
playing the utmost interest in the tax
ing Of whatever steps may be needed TO
keep business moving and prevent Amer
lea suffering more than need be from the
war.
The forthcoming conference at the
treasury this week over the question of
putting the federal reserve system into
operation will discuss, among other
things, what ought to be done about
sending gold abroad TO settle debts we
already owe, and also what precautions
can be taken against the uneventual I'M
loading of enormous masses of American
securities held in Europe.

crease OF 6,s30,290 tons, or 1928 per
cent. The iron ore shipped from the
mines in the United States in 1918
amounted to 5a,643.09s long tons, valued
at Sl30.a05.55S, compared with 57,ol7,-
6l4 long tons, valued at Sl07 ,o50, 1913,
marketed in lel2-an increase in guam
tity of 2,625, 4s4 long tons, or 4.6o per
cent, and in value of S23,S55,4 05, or
q. % per cent. The average price OF
ore per ton for the whole country in 1918
was S2.l9, compared with Sl.SS in 1872.
These quantities of ore used for fuxlng
other metallic ores at smelters in the
middle and western states, but do not
include the iron ore sold for the manu-
facture of paint. The iron ore marketed
for paint in 1918 amounted to 1880
long tons, valued at S44,s5l. The ore re-
ported as sold for fluxing purposes other
than in the manufacture OF pig iron
amounted to 62,s42 long tons, valued at
S235, 5Ss, in 1913, compared with SS,449

The domestic iron ore actually marketed

at SIa0669, $40 compared with 56,a29,-
1876 long tons, valued at slo6,so5,s3s, in
1912.
Iron ore was mined in IS states in
1918. one more than in 1912. Idaho,
Montana, and Nevada produced ores for
fluxing and part for pig iron; little
magnetic ore mined in Utah was shipped
to Salt Lake iron foundry for testing
a new method of reduction, and the re-
mainder of the Utah ore was used for
fluxing. The other states produced iron
ore for blast-furnace use only, except
small quqantities for paint from Geor-
gis, Michigan, New York, and Wiscon-
sin, which are, however, excluded from
the above figures for iron ore.
The rank of the five states producing
the largest quantity Of iron Mime

Wisconsin-remained unchanged in 1913,
but there were few changes in the rel
ative rank of certain of the smaller
producers.
