IMMORTALITY
By DIR. W. F. EVANS

CReprinted from The Age-Herald. Sunda,
 April 1s 1911.)
 Nothing is ever absolutely destroyed Forms change, but the eye of science de tects the original atom through all it Protean guises. Popular Science. 'Tis Gods unchangeable decree, That naught that's been can cease to be: And though it's primal form may pass To clod, to air, to subtle gas, From natures elemental sphere It cannot wholly disappear. This non-destruction science grants To matter, crystals, metals. plants; And elements of every name, That mingle in the cosmic frame. She dowers with existence vast As cycles yet to be, or past. Consider, science says, the flower. Whose life seems bounded by an hout:- The fragile rose of crimson hue, At morn aglow with sparkling dew, Will lose it's blush, its petals die And turn to dust and atoms dry; And. lost its grace and warm of red, We sigh and say. The rose is dead But is it dead in such a sense, That it no more exist from hence? That all is lost, has ceased to be Henceforth throughout eternity? l Q lIlS yOuI StltllCt IldhtS ieplN- The rose is changed, it cannot die It's leaves are dust. it's moisture mist. As such the rose shall still exist. Twill finger s,,ill in dark or light. In dingle deep or lofty height; By wanton breezes onward wait Twill rise and gleam in sunlight shaft; It's mist in rainbow-arch shall g'ow, And ages hence appear in snow; And on, through cycles distant far, As dew, reflect some golden star But never may it cease to be, Existence is its destiny. The dust may lodge in darksome dell, And 'nourish springing bud or bell; To blossoms rare give vital norm, Thus live again in floral form. Again twill wither, fall to dust And bide in hidden nook. till thrust Abroad by wind or torrent rain. To wander. fall, and rise again In gorgeous rose. perhaps the part That gives completeness to it's heart: Then back to dust then distant lands Or gardens. groves, and arid sands; Der rivers, plains. and ocean wide It's borne by wind. and cloud and tide; But evermore 1t makes it's round,

PAN-AMER|CAN CONFERENCE ENDS S|X-DAY SESSION
galuable Results Expected From Commercial Con-
 gress-McAdoo to Urge Measure to Aid Trade

Washington, May o9.-The Pan-Ameri-
 ght after six days discussion of prob
 ms which have confronted the two
 mericas because of the European war.
 Concrete results of the meeting may not
 e apparent for many months but none
 the representatives of the United
 iates or delegates of the IS Latin-Amer- Ian republics were inclined to overlook
 bet that through it business men of the |vo western continents have come to a
 etter understanding of each others s
 Jews.
 What the results of the meeting may
 e so far as the United States is con-
 erned, probably will not be apparent
 ntil Congress receives the report and Suggestions of Secretary McAdoo, pre- iding officer of the conference.
 Of first importance commercially is the
 uestion of improved transportation fla
 ilities between North and South Amer ca. The conference took no definite tand today on how transportation could
 e best developed and left the question | f ship subsidy or government ownership rhere 1t was when the deliberations be-
 an. MT. McAdoo indicated, however, | lis purpose to make some concrete pro- kosal to Congress, saying he expected urge the President to press for ade- uate legislation.
 Reports Adopted
 The report of the committee on trans |ortation was adopted today without a | |issenting vote. The only sign of dis greement came when William Legendre tf New York proposed to amend a res Hutton offered by former Governor Fran Lis of Missouri approving the report. The amendment, urging changes in the American navigation laws, was overruled by Secretary McAdoo.
 H We are not here" said Secretary Me Adoo, Ito discuss government ownership k,r ship subsidy We have been anxious hbove all to keep the political aspects but of this conference. Questions of gov |hrnment ownership of steamships or of |ship subsidies have assumed a political Inspect in this country and I think this eonferenee should avoid them
 Secretary McAdoo said he would urge Upon the President the need of continu- ng the work of the conference. He pointed out that the delegates had no bower to take affirmative action on the s,uestion of transportation, but that each Country must be left to deal with the mat ter in it's own way.
