ers are already asserting that IL the
Administration persists in an effort to
force through the merchant marine bill
, an extra SESSION will be necessary before
I all the appropriations are authorized.
Meanwhile the restoration to normal
In financial and business conditions is
daily becoming more evident. Money
is apparently plentiful and cheap in New
York. The rate during the latter part
of the week on call loans was 5 I-2 per
cent, and tinanciers are optimistic.
Much of the change in sentiment is
attributed to the operations of the
Federal Reserve Banking system.
Governor c. S. Hamlin, of the Federal
Reserve Board. in an address a few
days ago before the New York Chamber
of Commerce, told his auditors that
bank panics are thing of the past
and the general public is disposed to
take his statement as fact.
Railroads Big Problem.
The greatest obstacle to q fuller de-
gree of the prosperity that is predicted
for the United States is found in the
condition Of the great transportation
lines. President Samuel Rea, OF the
Pennsylvania railroad, speaking from
the same platform with Mr.. Hamlin,
showed the straits in which the rail-
roads OF the country are now placed,
when he declared that the Eastern sys-
TENS last year earned less than per
cent on the money invested. There is
still grave doubt as TO whether the In
terstate Commerce commission il going
10 relieve this situation through the in
creased rates sought by the Eastern
roads.
Aside from the railroads, however.
general Improvement is noted in the
other great industries of the country.
This fact was reflected In a report sub
mitted to the National Civic Fedora
ton last week by John Hays Hammond,
chairman of the economies department
of that organization. Mr.. Hammond'S
report was based on 900 letters from cor
respondents in all sections of the coun-
try including governors of States,
ma yors of leading cities, and men
prominently identified With Industrial
commercial, and agricultural pursuits
While in instances the reported prog
ress was somewhat slow. in every case
il was remarked upon as healthy ana
giving promise Of greater strides.
Agents OF foreign nations continue
active in the leading American markets,
and practically every one OF the larger
European powers, with the exception or
England, has endeavored to establish
credit in this country by placing with
banks their governmental notes. This
IS not confined to the warning powers
by anv means. though France and Rus
STA have made the greatest efforts to
float loans in New York in such man
ner.
Charles NJ. Schwab was called to-
Washington last week by Secretary OF
State Bryan, presumably to talk over
the subject of the reported construction
of submarines in this country Tor Tor
eign governments. Yesterday Mr..
Schwab, who is president Of the Beth-
lehen Steel Corporation, was reported
to be in Montreal, and the rumor was
circulated that he is preparing TO have
the submarines which IL is said he Sc
cured orders for, constructed In Can

Cattaro. the Austrian sea gate of
Montenegro, was held by Montenegro
once for little time. Montenegro ac-
quired it in 1913 with the aid of Brit
ish squadron. Any inhabitant of Cat
taro who was contemporary with the
rise. and fall of Napoleon must often
have had to pause and think what
country he belonged to, for, having !
been Venetian for centuries, Cattaro
became Austrian by the treaty OF
Campo FormiO and Italian In 1905 by
The peace of Pressburg. 1t was alb
sorbed in. the French empire in 1910
and wrested from it in 1913, and final I
y in 1914 Russia compelled Monte

The first we know of the navel
orange, which is very valuable not
only on account of its fine quality and
taste, but also because OF its. being
seedless. is of a single tree that was
found growing on the northern shore
of the Mediterranean sea- This was
about the year 1865. Crafts OF this
tree were taken to Spain by the Moors
several hundred years ago, and from
Spain the trees were carried to South
America by the Spaniards.-St lNicho-

Odors and Germs.

The odor Of cloves has been known
to destroy microbes in tbirty-five min

in twelve minutes. thyme in thirty
five minutes. In forty-tive minutes
common Wild verbena is found effec-
tive, while the odor of some geranium
flowers has destroyed various forms
of microbes in fifty minutes The es.
sence of cinnamon is said to DESTROY
the typhoid fever microbe in twelve
minutes and is recorded as the most
effective of all odors as an antiseptic
1t is now believed that flowers which
are found In Egyptian mummies were
placed there more for their antiseptic
properties than for merely ornamental
or sentimental purposes.
