causing much comment and attracting
a great deal of attention. 1t consists
of a polished metal cylinder shaped
like a vase. Inside the receptacle is
a small electric motor which makes a
magnet turn about shaft. Small
articles for sale with pieces of iron
imbedded in them are put on the cyl

travel around the surface. Small fig

In his bill TO aid the unemployed,
Senator Earl W. Bowman of Adams
county believes he has the first bill
of the kind ever. considered by an
American commonwealth. The bill
empowers county commissioners to
hire unemployed men to work on the
public highways, in stone quarries and
in other kinds of work that may be
designated by the commissioners. To
get this employment a man will have
to take oath that he is a citizen of
the United States and has been a
resident of Idaho for at least six
months before obtaining employment,
that he is unable to secure other en-
ployment, that he does not possess
more than $1,000 worth of real and
personal property, that he has not
received emergency employment from
the state for the preceding IL months
and that he will perform the labor to
which he is assigned with reasonable
diligence. The proposed bill would
also help impoverished homesteaders
The counties are to divide equally
the cost of the employment.

OUR FLAG PROTECTS.
BRITISH PASSENGER STEAMER
UStTANlA-FLEW STARS
AND STRIPES IT'S SAID.
CAPTAIN AFRAID SUBMARINES
Boat Had Been Warned That Two Sub
marines Had Been Sighted
Our Government Finds No
Law Against Practice.

London, Feb. 1.-THE British steam
er Lusitania of the Cunard line, which
sailed from New York January 80 and
arrived at Liverpool Feb. 6. flew the
American flag from the time it passed
Queenstown until it entered the Mer-
sey. This is vouched for by Ameri-
can passengers who crossed on it.
According to a statement by viii
Irwin. an American writer, the Lusi-
tania carried the regulation large
American flag at its stern, with
small American flag and mail pennant
at the forepeak.
The Lusitania received a wireless
message from the Baltic OF the White
Star line that two submarines mad
been sighted from that vessel.
The captain of the Lusitania, in re-
ply to a question of a passenger, de-
clared that he had a right to fly the
flag of a neutral country for the pro-
lection of neutral passengers and
mails which his ship was carrying.
Washington, D. c., Puzzled.
Washington. Federal officials ex-
amined United States statutes fol-
lowing the report from London that
the Lusitania went into port flying the
American flag to see what provisions
are set down for such cases. They
found that there is no law prohibiting
the misuse of the American flag by
foreign vessels, though the depart
ment of state has in the past ordered
its consuls always to communicate
full information as to such incident.
Cause Much Concern.
Officials are said to be much CON
cerned over prospects that the pre-
scription of the war zone and the use
of a neutral flag by war vessels as
a stratagem of war may endanger
lives of Americans whose right to
travel on neutral ships in war times,
it is understood, will be vigorously
defended by the Washington govern
ment.
Shock to British Pride.
Misunderstanding that the Lusi-
tania adopted "a permissible strata
gem in hosting the American flag to
dash for Liverpool" the Manchester
Guardian declares, ian act may be
perfectly lawful without being expe-
dent or altogether fair" The paper
says:
THE fact that our fastest liner had
to change her flag has shocked our
pride as much as the loss of the ship
would have shocked our humanity. II
all or many of our merchant liners
were to do the same the result would
be, as American papers are pointing
out, to diminish the value of protec
ton given by the American flag. Not
only would that be undignified in us
and unworthy the nation which rules
the seas, but it also would be unfair
to the United States and it would re
fleet on us the same indignation as
was aroused by Germany's threat to
disregard neutral flags"
