FULL WARRANT FOR BLOCKADE
Authority on International Law
Gives His Opinion.

GNes his opinion.
New York, April 1S.-The United
States has ample Justification for
blockading the Mexican ports and
landing troops, according to Prof. e.
c. stowell, lecturer on international
law, at Columbia University and tenn
porary successor OF John Bassett
Moore, former counsellor of the
tate Department.
THE United States is justified in
having recourse to any force neces-
sary to secure respect for information
al rights and dignity. The blockade
OF Mexican ports or the landing OF
troops need not necessarily constitute
war with Mexico. War is a situation
which results from armed conflict be-
tween two independent communities.
II tho United States docs not intend
to make war, it depends upon Mexico
whether she will allow the United
States to use the force to protect our
rights"

 If you blacklead and polish thoroughly the base and handle of your iron. 1t will keep hot much longer. for tho polish keeps the heat from radlating off. Mix little turps and msthylated spirit with the blacklead to get hard. brilliant polish.
 The best iron cleaner Is q piece of wire gause It is better than sandpapsr, for the dirt falls through the holes. and 1t is not rubbed Into the iron again
 Tho Ironing board should be covered with . cloth on which there are no seams or patches as these would mark fine linen. etc The best board covering Is flannel. tackled down and then removable cotton cover.
 If your elbow when Ironing Is bent away from your body at an upward and outward angls, that shows that the table is too high. and nothing is more tiring Have a little platform made. and notice the difference

It Is now needful to devise some plan whereby the sheets of paper may be raised somewhat above the level of the table on which they are placed. The glow pictures will not be satisfactory unless there Is some air space between the undersde of the pa per and the surface on which it is resting
 Probably the best plan Is to get some rather thick cardboard and to cut this into strips about half an inch wide Now paste these round the borders of the sheets of the paper cardboard strips. It is of course. under stood that these strips are affixed to the stde which has not been treated with the sciu- tion.
 It Is well in each case to mark the point where the line to the border of tho papsr 10 brought out with a slight pencil mark, as when tho solution Is quito dry 1t Is dif1ouM to sec the markings.
 Tho fact that the markings arc almost in- visible adds much to the effect of the glow pictures when the demonstration k carried out before those, who are not familiar with the way 1t is done.
 The method of setting the glow pictures going is as follows, Tho sheet is put on . pieos of board or tin lid; 1t is not wise to place 1t on any cloth. as damage might rs- suit. A match is struck, and after belng al- lowed to glow for a moment the name Is blown out. The glowing end is then applied to tho spot where the line terminated and at once 8 train of fire starts to spread over the surface of the paper. This follows ths pen markings. and does not cease until the whole picture or design has been rendered visible.

An Old Time Fancy Revived.
By LAURA BRANDT.

7 T the present time it is safe to say A that few people are familiar with
 X glow pictures. though generation or
 ago they were often source of amusement during winter evenings.
 The only thing which we need purchase for tho glow pictures is a simple mixture which any druggist would supply for small sum- This is formed of forty parts of saltpetre. twenty parts of gum arabic. and forty parts of water. The actual amount of the solu- tion required is only two or three ounces.
 We shall require some white paper; this should preferably be rather thin. such as that which is used for typewrlting purposes. Ordinary note paper is too thick Sheets of paper should be cut. the size. of course. de- pending upon the picture or writing which 1t is proposed to delineate.
 The manner of drawing the picture or de- sign is as follows: First of all. tho solu- ton should be slightly warmed. To do this take the stopper from tho bottle and stand 1t in bowl of hot water; care should be taken, of course. to see that the glass is not cracked by tho heat.
 Now secure an ordinary writing pen. The paper Is spread upon fiat surface. and the picture or whatever the design may be is sketched out with tho solution. The lines should bs rather thick. and it Is most impor- tant that every one should connoct---that fs. there must be no lines which arc not linked Up with the picture as whole. The finish- ing line should be carried right down to the edge of tho paper.

The result of Tuesday is nothing
short of marvellous in light of the facts
The Republicans have achieved a victory

The Republican press talks of vic

They lost three United States Senators,
while the Democracy elected all of its
Democratic Senators and increased its
majority in the Senate from 10 to 10.
In the light of the political history OF
the nation the Republicans should have
carried the House, but they didn't. In
stead, the Democratic party smashed all
political precedent established since the
foundation of the government and elect
ed Democratic House by the largest
majority ever given a political party fol-
lowing a revision of the tariff laws.

he announced briskly. Then I'll
be back to see if 1 can be of any
USE"
Alice heard the front door close and
settled weakly back upon the pillow.
1t seemed cruel, just as he had found
her again and just when circumstances
recalled their childhood, that she
should repay his kindness with disilIu-
sionment. She had been genuinely
fond Of Ned in the old days, and she
hated to give him pain. Yet 1t was
best that she should tell him frank
ly. 1t was a generous cruelty.
Presently he came stamping back to
announce that he had caught the small
boy just going for a policeman, and
that he had compromised for q
quarter.
His good humor was infectious, and
Alice found herself forgetting her pain
in listening to his recital Of his expe-
riences in getting ahead. He was
so frankly proud Of his success that
1t seemed shame to dispel the new
ly-awakened romance by a word, yet
she nerved herself to the task.
Il have a surprise for you," she be-
gan. after all this talk Of old times,
doesn't it seem funny to hear that I'm
engaged. I'm going to be married in
the spring"
She shrank back against the pillows,
awaiting the look Of disappointment
she feared. Ned's face lighted with
kindly interest.
"Take my advice" he said, "and go
to Washington for your honeymoon.
They are SO used to bridal couples
there that no one notices them. That's

Then, blushing guiltily, they looked
into each others eyes and-lauRhed.

With a little cry of pain, Alice
sank to the snow covered pavement.
Beneath the fresh fallen snow was an
icy patch, and her ankle had turned
under her.
She had been detained at the Office
rather late and the street was desert
ed. Even the policeman on beat had
sought shelter from the storm.
She made an effort to rise, but sank
back helplessly as she placed a
strain on the injured ankle and she be.
gan to cry softly. For perhaps ten
minutes she lay there, then from
around the corner came a muff1ed form
and she gave glad little cry that at
tract attention.

Whatever the defeated Governors in
nermost thoughts may be upon these
matters they do not differ very much
from those of that profound strategist
and not inconsepuentiaI Republican poli-
tician, Wayne b. Wheeler, visible head
of the prohibition organization in Ohio.
Election night this modern Won Moltke
found his off hoof firmly clutched in a
large steel bear-trap into which, in his
eagerness, he had unconsciously stepped
II was through his influence that the
prohibition vote in the rural sections was
kept away from James r. Garfield, the
Progressive nominee, and was thrown to
Willis who was from the start the favor
ite of the organization Through the Wig
orous offensive work of Walter f. Brown
of the Progressive State Committee an
open endorsement of Willis was prevent
ed, but astute as he was, he could not
check the silent wink and the unobtru
sive nod on the part of the leagues Of
flcials which carried the dry brethren in
to the Republican camp in large and ev-
en- pTofuse numbers.
Cracked over the knuckles and rubbed
beak down into the mud, they played
good and even with the audacious Bull
Moosers But they forgot to look ahead
and see if the block signals showed
clear track. Late on election night they
found that the friends of the Demon Rum
had been just as active as themselves
and had played major league ball with
the Republican politicians. As result
they discovered that Chairman Edwin
Jones had compounded a deal in Cmcin-
natl which gave him a governorship, but
in turn brought about the defeat Of the
prohibition amendment and carried to
success the home rule amendment which
wiped out the county local option law
The effect of this last amendment was
to wipe out in "a hours the arduous and
incessant labors of the league for 20
years, for it took just about that long
to get the county unit law established in
Ohio Instead of carrying through the |
amendment which was to eradicate the |
liquor traffic from the state, they found |
to their horror that the way had been |
opened up to increase by thousands the |
number of saloons. Nor was that all |
They learned that the new United States
Senator Chosen by the same merged in
fuences, Warren G. Harding, will vote at
Washington when the nation wide pro-
hibition bill comes up at the next session
according to the decision made by the
voters which will be in the negative.
Adding to their misery now comes the
that there is soon to be
