walks of life, have sworn that they will
die before they will submit to home
rule. In the ranks of the Ulster volun-
teers one may see Church of Ireland
clergymen drilling with rifles side by
side with Presbyterian ministers. They
are the descendants of Scotch and
English forbears who came to this
country generations ago.
While the Unionists OF north Ire
land have been preparing for war, u
is not to be thought that the National
lists have been idle. They have never
permitted the home rule agitation to
die down in any corner of Ireland.
They differ from the Unionists in that
they are not so militant. They are
moved by the thought that the dream
of many years is approaching realiza-
ton at last. These people are decid-
eddy in the majority in ireland.
Ulster is willing that the other prov
inces of Ireland shall have home rule
providing Ulster remains under the
imperial parliament Perhaps this
will be the ultimate solution OF the
problem,

BURGLARS WORK
IN WEST MOLINE
Petty Robberies Becoming More
Frequent and Local Talent
Is Blamed.

Petty burglaries are becoming quite
common in the west end of the city,
and the citizens are commencing to
think that the burglars are local
knights of the jimmy. Some time Mon
day night the grocery store of John
Wahlstrand. 402 Fourth avenue. was
entered, but nothing taken ,as the bur
glars were evidently after money, and
none is ever left in the cash register.
In forcing an entrance through the
window in the rear the marauder cut
himself. as there was blood on the
window and also on the cash register.
a short time ago Mr.. Wahlstrand
went cunning for a burglar, whom he
caught breaking into a hardware store
next door. A number of petty rob-
berries of this kind in that vicinity are
causing the citizens to think that local
talent is at work.

LARGE ADDITION
TO LOCAL PLANT
Moline Plow Company's New
Eight Story Structure Will
Add Five Acres of Floor.

Five acres of floor space will be
added to the Moline Pillow company's
plant when the new eight-story struct-
ure being erected next the main build
ing at the foot of Fourteenth street is
completed. A force of almost rs men
is now at work on the building, and it
is being pushed to completion.
Officials of the plant expect to have
the new addition entirely completed
and ready for occupancy some time
during May. Three floors will be used
for manufacturing purposes and the
five for storage. The new
building will greatly relieve the con-
gestion in other parts of the plant,
which has of late years resulted from
the rapid growth of the concern.
The contract for the building was
let Aug. 81. 1913, and the work is GO
ing through at record breaking rate.

DEAD SEA WATER.

its Density 10 More Than Double That
Of the Red Sea.
The Dead sea contains % per cent
of solid matter and is bulk for bulk
heavier than the human body.
Many believe that it is impossible to
swim In this sen. and even in Jerusa-
lem ridiculous fables are told as to the
impossibility of bathing there and that
no animals or vegetation can exist
near its shores.
So far as swimming is concerned,
the excessive buoyancy Of the water
simply renders 1t difficult to mako
much Roadway, but a swim is both
feasible and enjoyable. Care should
be taken, however, not to let the water
get into the eyes.
Indeed. did Palestine belong to any
power but Turkey probably the north
ern shore of the Dead sea would be
popular bathing station. No doubt the
chloride of magnesia which enters so
largely into the composition Of the
water would be found to have medici-
nal and curative properties.
Perhaps a better idea of the density
of the water of this inland sea may
be realized from the following Stats
tics: In a ton of water from the Cas-
plan sea there are eleven pounds of
salt; in the Baltic, eighteen pounds; in
the Black sea. twenty-six pounds; in
the Atlantic, thirty-one pounds; in the
English channel, seventy-two pounds;
