"The Asama still aground in San
Bartolome bay. Only other vessel

The British, as an offset TO their sue
cess In destroying a Turkish torpedo
boat which attacked the transport
Manitou off Chios yesterday, lost the
submarine ELS, which while carry
ing out difficult reconnaissance in
the Dardanelles mine field, ran
aground on Keppez Point the crew
being made prisoners. According TO
the Turkish report, seven OF the crew
are missing
In Egypt, British airmen have been
dropping bombs ON the Turkish en-
campment near the border. while a
French cruiser. the fire OF which
was directed by Zeppelin, has been
throwing shells on the Turks near
| III Arish. where the army for the in
vasion of Egypt has its headquarters.
These operations were undertaken
presumably to harass the Turks as
the Turks have not shown any inten-
tion of attacking the British since
! their last repulse along the canal.
Fight In Carpathlans.
In the Carpathians there has been
| fighting, but no battle TO be COM
pared with those which the arrival
of spring brought to close. The
| lAustrians officially report that they
have repulsed Russian attacks to the
southeast OF Lupkow pass lnflicting
heavy losses on their adversarios. but
elsewhere comparative calm prevails,
The French have again been ac-
tive In the Vosges, capturing an im-
Iporlant height near Metzeral. The
British, too, have attacked the Ger
mans In the neighb0rnood OF Ypres,
where fighting was still In progress
when the last report was dispatched.
i II is again stated that the Ger
imam efforts to bring about an accord
between Austria and Italy have fall
ed a report, which II confirmed. Is
likely TO magnify in the eyes OF the
Italians the frontier incident which
occurred yesterday. According TO
the latest reports the Austrians who
were passing over italian territory ac-
tually fired upon the Italian troops
who repulsed them, and in return
penetrated into Austrian territory.
The sinking of the Greek steamer
| Iillispontos by submarine off the
Dutch coast is likely TO bring about
some friction between the Greek and
! German governments. The Ellispon-
tos was destroyed while on voyage
from Ymuiden, Holland, TO Monte
vidoo. in ballast

OWNER SHOULD DEMAND
ALISTING AGREEMENT

Two recent judgments which total
several thousand dollars for commits
sions found to be due to Rochester real
estate brokers for services furnish an
object lesson to owners who refuse to
enter into a definite contract of listing
when placing their property in the mar
ket. says the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle Some owners profess to be-
lieve that there Is a hidden meaning
in a printed agreement to pay the usual
commission if the broker procures a
buyer AS matter of fact, there are
few principles of law which are more
thoroughly established in the decisions
than the meaning of this phrase. When
the blank is signed the owner should
always insist on receiving a copy, and,
of course, a carbon copy is preferable
to mere duplicate. If there is no
written form of agreement between the
owner and broker, and the owner re-
ceives no copy for reference, it is quite
usual for the owner to forget any spe-
ciaI arrangement to the term or con-
ditions of his listing, and it happens
too frequently that the listing Will be
held by the courts to be in effect long
after the owner has changed his mind
about selling or even after values have
changed to such an extent that the
owner believes himself entitled to a
larger price than that which was quot
ed to the broker at the time of listing
In fact. this was the opinion of the
owners of both the Front street and
the Elm street properties which were
involved in the two suits to which we
have referred. The owners of these
properties either forgot supposed
that they had Cancelled the listings with
the brokers, who afterward procured
buyers at prices which were believed to
be below the Increased market values.

Hinge Prevents Sagging.

One of the comparatively recent tri-
umphs of building Is the invention of a
door hinge that will not allow the door
to sag. The thing is SO simple that it
is a wonder it was not thought of a
long time ago. says Kieth's Magazine
Instead of attaching hinge to the
door frame and Joining it to the door.
a metal disk Is clamped on the floor,
and directly over II, in the upper cor
ner of the frame, another one is
placed. The door swings between
these on pivot, and there is no
chance for ii to sag or stick. This
attachment has every advantage over
the old hinge, and it may be applied
both to swinging doors and to those of
the ordinary type.

Keeps Tab on Batches.

A concrete mixer for road work. ex-
hibited at the recent convention of the
American Road Builders Association
in Chicago. has as auxiliary equipment
a new attachment for determining the
duration of a mix of each batch.
This attachment, called the ''batcho-
meter" consists of small recording
meter and an automatic signal bell,
housed with necessary dry batteries in
q metal case.
When the side loader is raised the
short arm is also raised. operating the
meter and at the same time raising the
rod piston in the cylinder, which is
filled with glycerin. After a definite
time which can be adjusted as required
by q little contact point fastened by
set-screw to the vertical rod and has
a range of from three seconds to three
minutes, the bell is rung as a signal to
the operator to dump the batch. The
same signal can be used to control the
operation of the side loader so that
loading and dumping can be made
practically simultaneous. At the end
of the day there Is also readily avail
able complete record of the total
number of patches run.

Stone Bungalows.

The informality of rough native stone

says w. H. Butterield in Country Life
in America The same may be said of

come with air spaces provided. but
even with these it is found necessary
to apply some waterproofing mixture,
as they are porous and dampness is
sure to work through. Stone and brick
require no exterior treatment when

Would Increase Values.
Should the proposed cross-town line
be built. it is believed the character
of I street will be greatly changed.
Real estate men say that values along
the street and adjacent to it would be
increased. Property owners along 1
street and streets nearby are not in
accord with regard to the extension
which the Capital Traction Company
has asked permission to make. Many
are opposed to the plan to have a
street car line along I street, while
others believe that the proposed ex-
tension would greatly benefit their
property This difference Of opinion
has resulted In the circulation of one
petition urging the District public
utilities commission to refuse to grant
other urging that body to grant the
request of the Capital Traction Com
pany.
West of 18th street there has been
practically no change in the character
of I street for a number of years. To
the east of that street, however, there
have been a number of changes. Busi-
ness has begun to get a foothold be-
tween 14th and 18th streets and sew
eral residences on the south side of I
street facing Franklin Park have CIV
en- way to stores.
Owners along 18th street from I
street south to Pennsylvania avenue
also are interested in the application
of the traction company for permission
to extend its trackage. for the pro-
posed plan also calls for the laying of
tracks along 18th street so as to con-
meet the Pennsylvania avenue lines
with the proposed I street line.

A NERVINE TONIC

In many severe nervous disorders
the best remedy is often a tonic. The
most active tonic treatment is recon-
mended by the highest medical au-
thority to arrest the progress of such
diseases.
1t is impossible to reach the nerves
directly with medicine. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are nervine tonic but they
act on the nerves through the blood,
enabling the blood to carry to the
nerves the elements needed to build
them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headache
and a number of more severe nervous
troubles are properly treated by build
ing up the blood with DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and are often entirely cor
rected in this way.
If you are nervous you can help
yourself by refusing to worry. by TAX
by avoiding excesses and by taking
out-ofdoor exercise. For medicine
take DR.. Williams Pink Pills, 1.-The non
alcoholic tonic.
Sufferers from nervous disorders
who have been taking treatment with
out benefit should investigate the
tonic method. Write to-day to the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, N, Y, for the booklet, Diseases
of the Nervous System" 1t will be
sent free on request.
Your own druggist sells DIR. Will
Jams Pink Pills or, they will be sent

CATARRH GERMS
EASILY KILLED

Only Way To Cure This Disease Is to
Destroy It's Cause
If you have catarrh and want TO get
rid of IT you must kin the germs which

because they overlook this fact They
all help by giving temporary relief but
they do not reach the germ life that has
found Judgement in your head. nose,
throat, and could not destroy it il they
did.
The best known way of destroying
the dangerous germs of Catarrh and
consequently ending the disease itself
is to breathe into the air passages of
your nose and throat the pleasant.
penetrating air of Hyomei pronounced
purest oil of Eucalyptus combined with
other powerful, healing, antiseptic and
germicida1 ingredients. You breathe IL
through little pocket inhaler which H.

gists in Harrisburg and vicinity are
ment sold. Every time you inhale the
sweet, fragrant air of Hyomei through
this little device you are drawing into
your swollen, infiamed, germ laden
membranes a medicated air which will
not only reduce all the swelling and
nose and stopped-up air passages, but
Will absolutely and positively destroy
every trace of Catarrh germ life it
reaches. Druggists are so sure of the
blessed, lasting relief that Hyomei
brings to catarrh sufferers that they

antee that money paid will be REFUND
