a girl II years old to blush excessively

Reply. Plastic surgery is about
the only recourse. Massage may make

WOLFRAM AN IMPORTANT ORE

fargile as that produced by certain
methods used in the German product.
The tungsten wire, as drawn out for
this purpose, is very strong, 1t being
claimed that it has more strength
than any steel pinno wire that was
ever made. The specific gravity OF
most as much as that of gold, which
is 1913.
The discovery of this metal for max
ing filaments has caused an enormous
saving to the consumers of electric
light the world over. 1t enables the
consumer to obtain two or three times
the quantity of light at about one-half
the consumption of electricity former
ly used by the old carbon lamp.
The principal use of tungsten, how
ever, is to harden steel, especially the
steel of which tools are made. The
tool steel of the present day is said to
be nearly all tungsten steel, having
from s to 90 per cent metallic tungsten
mixed with the steel in its manufac-
ture. 1t is sometimes called self
hardening Steel" because it does not
have TO be tempered, for, with the adj
dition of the metallic tungsten it tenn
pers itself. When heated to a cherry
red and allowed to cool, the steel at
tains its maximum hardness and can
be run at much greater speed and it
has been estimated that at least four
times as much work can be done with
the tungsten steel as with the ordin-
airy kind, because the machines can be
run four times as fast and that without
taking the temper out of the tool when
IL gets very hot, as is the case with or
binary steel. The president OF one
of the large automobile manufacturing
companies is said to have stated that
if there were no such thing as lungs
ten steel the cost of each automobile
would be 5000 more than it is now.
Tungsten and it's salts are used for
making silk and cotton fabrics fire
proof; for winding electric furnaces,
and for use in the apparatus employed
for the utilization of Roentgen rays.
Also occasionally in the manufacture
of silk i'm order to add weight and to
give it the desired stiff effect. 1t will
thus be seen that from the standpoint
of practical utility tungsten is of more
benefit to humanity than gold.

CAUSE OF THE WAR.

This European panic was caused by
one thing, and only one And that is
the existence of huge armies and
navies.
Where each nation maintains a vast
armament, makes all Of its youth
spend part of its years in the army,
builds forts along the border, trains
airmen TO drop bombs and keeps up a
feet OF warships, it only takes a trivial
accident TO bring on war.
Wars are not fought for a reason
They are fought simply because states
are ready TO fight, asserts DR.. Frank
Crane in Woman's World
In the treaty OF peace, at the con-
clusion OF the Franco-Prussian war of
1870, not one word was said about the
cause over which the war was sup
posed TO have been waged!
The crime OF the world, therefore, is
not war so much as IT IS militarism,
which knows no bounds.
II is peculiarly the duty of the Uni
ted States of America, as the leader
OF the worlds democracy, TO cease In
creasing its belligerent navy, to dis
arm its forts and 10 appeal TO all other
nations 10 initiate its example. Some
nation must take the lead, and none is
in a more logical position 10 do this
than Is our own
In order 10 accomplish this. we must
insist upon the federation OF all ma
tions into some sort OF unified world
government
The states OF the world must unite
somewhat as the separate states OF our

The apple crop Of the United States
this year. as estimated by the agricul-
tural department, will be 22O.OOO.OOO

IO,20O. 600 bushels, which IS a gain for
the state OF 1900. 900 bushels over last
year. The east has produced a great
crop, so that under ordinary cOndi-
tons we should expect cheap fruit.
But with our exports. which ordinarily
reach some 100000 barrels. almost

son for expecting low prices. The con-

From the many testimonials to the
condition of Iowa roads heard in Rock

clude that there must be few flaws in

However. are otherwise. judging from
Che following printed in the Clinton
Herald: Among the inscrutable mys-
teries. comparable with life and death,

problem of why township trustees,

If an Ant Were as Big as a Man.

An ant can carry a grain of corn
ten times the weight of its body, while
man or horse can carry loads only
about equal to its bodily weight. 1t
is not a fact, however, that the ant is
greatly superior in strength. If an ant
should grow to twice its original size,
still retaining its geometrical and his
tological structure. its volume, and ac-
cordingly the weight of its body, would
increase eightfold. Although the mus
cles grow to twice their original di-
mansions, the increase in length does
not increase the strength, which is
proportional to their cross section, and
the ant would only be four times as
strong as before. AS it now carries
but five times its weight. however, it
is relatively only half as strong. It
is calculated that the same ant devel-
oped to the size of a man would only
be able to carry one one-hundredth of
its own weight instead of ten times its
own weight.

ASKS CLUB WOMEN TO

Present War Proves FaIIaCy
of Great Preparations.

EVANSVILLE, oct. 22.-AIiss Vida
Newsom. president of the Indiana
Federation OF Women's clubs. asked
the federation to go on record in
favor of worlds peace in her annual
here.
Miss Newsom also struck a blow at
what she calls the fallacy Of prepara-
tons for war as a guarantee Of
peace
I'VE believe that if the opinions of
women throughout the United States
were registered they would not favor
the enormous expenditures of money
in the building Of dreadnaughts and
in preparation for war. There has
been appropriated this year $421.
OOO.0 on account of war past and
possible.
with this amount of money it is
estimated we could annually con-
struct $4,000 miles of the finest i'm
proved highways. We could put a
$4,000 pOstOfiice building in every
town and hamlet in the country. Or
we could put a $4,000 high school
in every town that now has a high
school Of any kind. or we could re-
place with a substantial structure
every schoOlhOuse at every cross
roads in the country. We could es-
taDlSh play grounds in every city and
town in the United States where
needed In fact, there is almost no
limit to the things we could do for
the Improvement of life and trade if
we had S42O,00O,0 900 to spend.
Proves Falsity OF PrOVerb.
The horror of the European war
has proved the falsity of the prOverb
that preparations for war is the best
guarantee of peace As long as there
are big armies and big navies peace
is only a temporary condition"
Miss NewsOm lauded the boy scout
movement and said it ought To be en-
Couraged by the mothers of the state
She thinks the movement will make
men of the boys
Investigation into affairs at the
iails of the state was urged. and a
fuller participation in the charities
and corrections advocated
The blind of the state deserve
more attention, Miss Newsom be
lieves She thinks the state should
not only teach the blind useful trades
but urges the establishment of en-
plOyment exchanges where the blind
may market their labor.
Mrs Ella NJ. Meyers, corresponding
secretary of the federation. reported
60 new clubs had affiliated with the
federation during the year, while p
clubs have dropped out by disband-
ing, merging or Withdrawing. She
said the expenses of her department
had amounted to but $3.50 for the
year.

INDIANA VOTERS ARE
TO DECIDE FATE OF
CENTENNIAL PROJECT

INDIANAPOLIS, oct. 22.-Every
voter in the state of Indiana is being
urged to go on record on Nov. con-
corning the proposed centennial APP
preparation and historical museum.
The idea of erecting a building for
the state library and for an historical
museum, in order to relieve the
crowded condition OF the state house,
Is considered of great importance by
those interested in preserving the
states history. With such a building,
II is argued, Indiana would be put in
line with Wisconsin, Illinois, New
\ ork, Kansas, Nebraska, North Caro-
lima. West Virginia, Connecticut. Mis-
souri, and other states, and at the
same time would be erecting a perma-
nent memorial to it's centennial.
There is already in the state house
offices, corridors and basement, il is
pointed out, enough material TO make
a wonderful beginning for museum
The portraits of all the governors of
Indiana, now on the walls of the
library the battlefags of the old sol
dlers IN the corridors, and the many
historical relics in the geological mu-
scum would find a restful abiding
place in the proposed new building.
