PERIL OF BUST
A Constant Menace to Structures of
Iron and Steel

Among the many questions which the
architect and builder are called upon
to consider, none perhaps is more i'm.
portant than that relating to the cor
rosion of iron and steel. This tendency
to decay is peculiar to these materials,
since none of the ordinary metals ex-
hIbits it to any comparable degree, and
it is SO strong that an unprotected
piece y soon reduced to a shapeless
mass of rust. 1t is one thing to design
and erect a mighty skyscrapsr, but an
entirely different matter to protect it
from those influences which, if allowed
to do their work, would ruin the great
est structure in short time.
1t seems strange, in a way, that un-
less iron is well protected it is far less
resistant to natural agencies than wood
or other building materials. 1t is be-
ing used more and more in the fabrica-
tion of large buildings and other struc-
lures of permanent type, and the
length of their life, to say nothing of
the safety of the people employed in
and around them,i depends on the sue
cess with which corrosion can be pre-
vented.
Painters are constantly employed on
such structures as the Brooklyn or
Forth bridges scraping away rust spots
and repainting. When serious rusting
is once started it is very hard to check,
and as it would inevitably lead to the
destruction of the framework col
lapse would be certain to occur sooner
or later, probably with an appalling
loss of life.-Engineering Magazine.

U. S. HAS NO KNOWLEDGE
OF ANY peace OVERTURES

Washington, April 13.-Commenting
on published statement of Pope Bcne-
diet that the latter had indicated a de-
sire to support any move the United
States might make for peace, President
Wilson declared to-day that intimations
of this character had been frequently
conveyed to him through different per
sons. He said, however, no formal
communication had come to him on the
subject. Asked whether the United
States recently mad learned officially
or unofficially of the terms upon which
the belligerents might be ready to
make peace, the President said regret
fully there had been no basis whatever
so far as he knew for the rumors to
that effect.
While the United States government
was not consulted in connection with
the peace gathering at The Hague, the
President indicated to-day that the
movement had his sympathetic support.
Although the meeting has no official
status, President Wilson said he under
stood the delegates had not asked for
official authorities because they pre-
ferred to act unofficially.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Do You Know Your Age and the Yea,
and Day of Your Birth?


How old are youl When were Won
born2 See if you really know. See if
your children know how old they are.
Do not laugh at these simple questions
until you try the test.
According to recent issue of the
United States public health service re.
ports, 1t is common occurrence to find
school children, even high school pu-
plls IN the Junior and senior years,
who cannot tell how old they are, or
who, if they know their age, cannot
tell accurately in what year they were
born.
You will need this information when
you apply for marriage license, or in
registering for voting, or in seeking q
government position, or in case You
claim that You are heir to a fortune
that is going to some other person.
You may have to 60 under oath as to
your age when you pay your custom
duties upon return from your next
European trip. So you should practice.
In some of our states there is no
birth registration, SO you may not be
able to prove from the records that
you ever were born. This might be
embarrassing to you if you want to
marry in Europe.
Perhaps the easiest way to remem-
Der your age is to form some jingle or
rime on your birth year. For in
stance, "In 1897 little Johnnie came
from heaven" or I'm 1882 little Susie
began to boo. Never mind what the
rhyme is, just so you remember it, and
If, after reaching the age of forty, you
want to prove that you are only TWEEN
ty-three years old, just change the
rhyme and perhaps people will believe
you when you repeat the jingle to
prove your youth.

The German attack on the Russian
forces in the North near the Prussian
frontier, was resumed yesterday and
another battle is in progress for pos
session of the important Russian fort
ress of ossowetz. The abandonment of
the former siege of this fortress was
interpreted in Petrograd as indicating
that the Germans had given up their
attempt to break through the Russian
line of defenses and advance on War
saw from the north, but 1t is now said
semi officially at the Russian capital
that the invaders have brought up
howitzers and begun a new lombard
ment. One of the German siege bat
teries is said to have been damaged
badly by the Russian guns.
Five independent Austrian armies
are operating along the Carpathian
front. Petrograd newspapers publish
semi-official details concerning this
campaign to the effect that the various
Austrian armies are under direction of
the German general staff. It is said
also that Emperor william personally
is supervising the work of the staff.

WILaELm'S captain ASKS
TIME TO repair his Vessel

Newport News, Va, April 1S.-
Formal request from Commander
Thierfelder of the German converted
cruiser Kron .Prinz Wilhelm for time
to repair his vessel in order to make
her seaworthy, was awaited to-day by
the federal authorities here. Pending
receipt of this information the mer-
chant raider which still is at anchor
age in the James river, will not be al
lowed to go into the dry dock at the
ship yards here. Commander Thier-
fielder had promised his formal appli-
cation to-day.
A survey of the Wilhelm will be
made by board of naval experts to
determine the necessary repairs. They
will follow the precedent set by the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich interned at the
Norfolk navy yard. The extent of the
will be kept a secret by the federal
authorities.
A preliminary survey by experts
from the ship building company here
disclosed that at least three weeks
will be required to make the Wilhelm
seaworthy. The ship was found to be
leaking badly and her boilers in bad
condition. Her pumps were working
constantly and the bilge water from
her pipes was said to be unusually
heavy. The leaks were caused by loos-
ening of her plates as result of fire.
quent coaling at sea and ramming
merchantmen when shots failed to

The fact that the Wilhelm will re-
quire considerable attention before
she can be made seaworthy, it was be-
'lieved, may eventually cause her to be
interned.

OUR CALENDAR IMPERFECT
Under the Present System Day Is
Lost Every 1880 Years

Loct 6NCAy %,OUO x6dIS
Many people are dissatisfied with
the calendar. They propose to take it
back and change it. They would have
to go back to an act of the British
parliament in 1751-that is, English
speaking folk woodland then still
farther into the recesses of time. 1t
was that statute which later led Ameri
can schoolboys into doubt as to wheth-
er George Washington was born on
February % or February IL. Eleven
days were lost between Julius Caesar
and George Washington, but that hard
l!y seems appalling enough after all to
justify so many preachments on the
subject of lost time, does it? The
way things are arranged now it will be
$500 years or more before we lose
another day.
The scientist, however, is never sat
isfied with anything less than accuracy,
and he wants perfect calendar. He
has taken his ideas of reform into the
legislatures of several nations, but
nothing has happened yet. Reform is
sure to get into trouble, anyway, when
it gets into politics. But truth, crushed
to earth, shall rise again, and maybe
the dream of the scientist will come
true. The first day of every month
will fall on the first day of the week,
and so forth. The printed calendar
which comes from the insurance com
pany or the grocery store will be just
as good one year as another, and the
months will be all alike. Probably a
more durable form will be invented, so
that it will last lifetime, be novel
from house to house with the rest of
the furniture and be handed down to
future generations as an heirloom.
Time, with such calendar, wouldn t
seem so fiighty.-Philadelphia Ledger.

NO Separate peace FOR

Der of Deputies, and Midhat BEN, for

Their mission here, they declared,

of the two countries might be guarded
now and in the future.
