Don't hold a spark plug wire more

when testing There is danger of
running the spark coil
Don throw away a spark plug un-

than grinding.
Don't screw a spark plug on too

Don't throw away any batteries in

FAILURE ON GALLIPoLI.

The abandonment by the British of two positions on Gallipoh peninsula, Sulva and Anzac, indicates that the allies have reached the conclusion that the efforts which have been made to open the Dardanel,es by the operations at these points have proved failure and that the forces which are being held there without any promise Of greater success can be used to better advantage elsewhere. The struggle for the Dardanelles has been costly and bloody one. Not only have thousands of lives been sacrificed, but 1t has cost the allies heavy in ships because of the great mistake which was made at the start in trying to force the straits with the navy alone. When the land forces were finally brought up it was
 too late, for the Turks had been given
 warning and time to make adequate preparations, though the fact that the allies failed to follow up their advan-
 tages when the big gun ammunition of the strongest strait battery was almost exhausted, as is now revealed, only points out a blunder similar to what was made ir the recent drive on the west front where it is claimed the continuation of the bombardment would have resulted in a great victory for the allies. It adds one more to the missed opportunities of the en- tente powers.
 Where the troops who have been withdrawn from Gallipoli are destined will be revealed in time, but it is ap- parent that they will be put into ser vice either in the Balkans or used to check any advance which may be made towards Egypt They are needed in both fhna Io T2a1 cif required just such strengthening weeks ago and unless the forces in Egypt are capable of defending the canal they are needed there now, but regardless of the direction in which they are headed it has been decided, however
 that it is useless to keep them at Gal lipol.

STEAMBOAT INSPECTION.

In his annual report Secretary of Commerce Redfeld calls for additional legislative action which will permit the steamboat inspection service to be efficient and make it capable of per forming the duties which are expect ed of it.
 Following the great loss of life in the burning of the General Slocum in New York there was, a great hue and cry because there was gross laxity in this service. The result was that something was done which showed an improvement before long because a different kind of inspection was re- quired and since then improved regu- lations have been put in force and it has been insisted that they be car ried out. Following the capsizing of the steamer Eastland at Chicago when nearly a thousand lives were lost while the vessel was still at its dock, it was apparent that there was serious neg lect upon the part of somebody and Secretary Redfeld is free to say that the fault lies with congress because it refused to pass laws which were recommended and which in the opin- ion of the secretary would have pre- vented that horrible disaster.
 Opinion may vary as to where the responsibility lay in that particular case, but it must be apparent to ar unbiased observer that if the branch of the government which is supposed to have supervision of such matters is so badly handicapped by lack of in- spectors and authority to prevent the repetition of such catastrophes it is time that something was done to rem edy the situation.
 It is no small task which is i'm posed upon the steamboat inspection service when it is realized that the ten officials in Washington and 257 ir the field force are held responsible fol the safety of 300,OQO,0OO lives, 7,5OO, ,OOC tons of vessels and millions of tons ot cargo which are carried, and if the force which is entrusted with sucf duties is inadequate proper steps should be taken to give the needed relief. There are limits to human DOS. abilities in steamboat inspection as well as anything else, and when hu. man life hangs in the balance it de. serves more than ordinary consider. ation.

ing upward and over. while masses of debris settled down between the walls. The frescoed ceiling had dis appeared in an instant Particles Of the bomb dug deep into the alabaster facing the walls, cracking and wrenching the marble pillars and side walls from floor to roof. Even the marble floor, made of huge slabs formed in mosaics, was torn up in chunks. One huge slab of the floor covered the tomb of some of the fa- nous Venetians of olden days, and this was wrenched out exposing the tomb below. The explosion occurred when the church was deserted so that no loss of life resulted.
 To the art world the damage to the old church is an irreparable loss. Ev- anywhere it was known as the type of the Venetian baroque style. and next to the church of Santa Maria was the best example of this style in the world. The fresco by TiepolO, covering the entire ceiling, was of course, the great est loss, as next to Titan, Tintoretto and Paul Veronese, Tiepolo, was ac- cepted as the greatest of descriptive painters, and the last of the older school of famous Venetian masters. The destroyed fresco was his most representative work, and probably the largest. After nearly 300 years the painting was in an excellent state of preservation, the vividness of the col OTlIlB ana IIlG great huHlBST Ol HE uISS in the colossal work-nearly 100 feet across-giving it special interest and
 value to the art world.
 Only by chance, too. is it Tiepolo's work that is destroyed instead of Ti- tian's or Tintoretto's, for these mas
 ters are similarly represeDted on the ceilings and walls of many of the churches and historic monuments of Venice, and while paintings can be removed to places of safety the fres-
 coed ceilings must stay to take the chance of bombs. Ruskin in his Stones
 of Venice says Titan Paul Veron-
 csc can be judged only by the ceil- ing of Venice. The sculptures and carvings of the high altar are by an- other Venetian master, Pozzo, but these escaped serious damage.
 Besides the destruction of the Scalzi church, the chief effect of the | bomb raids has been near the Arsenal
 It is clear that the chief purpose of | the raids is to reach the Arsenal and ! the railway station, the former being | the chief defensive work of Venice with large stores of ammunition, while | the railway station is a junction for many lines for strategic military
 movements toward the frontier. The | bombs thus far have fallen outside the Arsenal, in narrow side streets, tear ing up the streets and riddling the | houses but not causing much loss of | life. The canals are everywhere, and
 many of the bombs have fallen in the | water.
 The nearest approach to the famous Camanille and Doges' Palace was a 1 bomb which fell midway between the 1 column bearing the winged lion o1 San Theodore. both on the Piatzza SaT
 Marco, but this bomb did not ex- plode. Another bomb fell in tho Grand Canal just in front of tht l Doges' Palace. Both of these bombs | which fortunately were harmless struck within a hundred yards of thu fost famous monuments in Europe.

THAT CARY DINNER

Whether the recent Gary dinner in New York at which Theodore Roose- welt was one of the guests with many industrial and capitalistic leaders, and which it was announced was simply 8 council of war for the purpose of defeating President Wilson next No- vember, was solely the formation of a wedge for driving home the candidacy of the ex-president remains to be seen It was something more than a social dinner party, as can be readily gath cred from the men who sat at the table
 Further significance is attached tc it by the subsequent statements which have been made by close politica. friends of Col. Roosevelt wherein il is declared he will support the. candi. dacy of any man who may be named by the republican convention who ha. the standing of Justice Hughes, ex. Governor Hadley of Missouri, or for. mer Secretary of State Philander c Knox. Such might seem innocen enough if it were not accompanied b1 the declaration that MT.
