SEATTLE. Wash. July 1S.-The ques-
ton of creating new temples at Knox
vile. Tenn: Houston, Tex: Roanoke,
Va and Manila, r l., and the report
of the Masonic War Relief Associa-
ton of the United States were two of
the most important matters pending at

The report of the war relief asso-
cha ton states that $4,000 has been
collected by Masons for the families
of brothers killed or wounded in the
countries at war in Europe. The re-
port asks for further relief funds and
for money for relief at the close of the
war.
Visiting DELEGATIONS participated
Yesterday in paradeS and receptions
that lasted well into the night. 1t was
estimated that fully $4,000 visitors
were in Seattle for the festivities. To-
day sixty temples and forty bands will
march through gayiy decorated streets
to the convention hall.
A contest for the Office of imperial
outer guard is claiming attention. J.

Milan, Rich Metropolis.

Milan. the rich, modern, metropolis
of the north, where industry is contin
ually throbbing and where the life of
a steadily strengthening commerce pull
safes, not many miles removed from the
Austrian frontier, is thus described by
Mrs. Albrecht:
MILAN is today such a halfway
house for people rushing UP and down
, the earth, from the Mediterranean to
the Alps. from Venice to Como: it is so
very well known, 80 very crowded. so
busy. so busting. one feels there is
nothing more to be told of her. Per-
haps because she seems SO entirely
modern, because she bears so fehv'
traces of her earlier years. one feels
she does not appreciate her past. This.
however, is not so. She has been liter
ally trampled into the dust so often
she would have nothing but scars to
show but for the invincible courage
which made her instantly build on her
ruins the foundations of yet greater
things
And Milan, the last restoration. the
monumental modern city of business.
has again been brought upon the battle
! front, and the struggle, as it has been
through the centuries for Milan, is
again between the Teuton and the
Latin.

OF beautiful, romantic Austrian Tyrol,

occupied at the dawn of its history
by wild Celtic tribe-the Rhaetians-
tanned by all-conquering Rome into the
tributary province of Rhaetia, the
northern part of Tyrol was Germanized
as early as the fifth century. On the
other hand, the southern part remained
Roman, even to the extent of RomaniZ-

swept up into it from the plains Of the

BIGGER GARDEN YIELDS
BY WARMING THE EARTH
Successful Experiments Made by En-
ploying Waste Heat From
Industrial Plants.

DRESDEN. via London, July lS.-Suc-
cessful results of experiments in increas-
ing yields of gardens by heating the earth
with the waste heat from factories and
industrial establishments are announced
by Prof Kuebler of the Technical High
School
Fruits and vegetables grown under this
novel condition. according to Prof.
Kueber, have been found to advance
about twice as last as the same things
planted simultaneously in normal I'M
heated ground, and have attained from
40 to 100 per cent greater size.
Planned by Engineer.
The originator of the scheme is a local
engineer, who advocates experimenting
with water heated by tine waste neat from
electric stations and factories and plped
even miles distant to gardens and small
farms. The minister OF agriculture gave
his assent to the plan. which was car
ried out by the students of the Tech,
meal High School.
The experiments were begun in the
spring with maize, rye. wheat. pota-
toes, beans, beets and turnips, which
were planted at the same time in
equal quantities in adjoining fields, one
field being heated and the other I'M
heated

Benefits of the Project.

The results announced today midi
cate not only the efficacy of the plan,
but the thorough practicabilitE OF
earlier and larger vegetables. Crops
grown on the heated ground brought
so much higher prices that the cost of
heating was more than met.
Flower culture also is greatly bene-
flied by the heating plan, and it is ex-
pected that it will be possible to pro-
duce the French and Italian flowers
formerly imported by Germany in
heated ground. The plan is
said to be advisa Bile only where waste

.ITA[YS northern CITIES
THREATENED BY INVASION
Some of Nations Richest Treasures
and Memories Contained in
That Part of Country.
Territory Has Been Conqueror and
Conquered; Ruler of Half the
World, Vassal of Petty Kings.

Where romance and industry, beauty
and squalor. the greatest in art and
veriest uuackery run riotous patterns
through the sub-Alpine lands of Italy,
invasion is threatening again, and
ton as has weathered the many storms
that have gathered and broken over
northern Italy again is in danger of
wars ruthless destruction. Some of
Italy's richest treasures and memories
are contained in her northern cities,
and here. too. lies the weight of in
dustrial. commercial and political Italy
An intimate description of these prov
inces abutting upon the latest battle
frontier has been prepared for the Ma
tional Geographic Society by Florence
Craig Albrccht, whose understanding
of Italy is that of a longtime, SYM
pathetic friend. She writes:
The fatal gift of beauty which is
ltalys dover, is that of each of her
children. as their history is hers. The
unified Italy. which our generation has
known. is no older than US. The PENN
sula bounded, roughly speaking, by the
Alps, the Mediterranean, the Adrlauc
and the Tyrrhenean sea, has been oc-
cupied from the dawn of history to our
own time by countless rival states:
has been in turn both conqueror and
conquered: ruler of half the world,
vassal of petty kings. Each of it's an
cfent cities presents a shield SO denied
with scars. so overwritten with words
and deeds. that no casual tourist may
decipher it. Its loneliness, however, he
may none the less enjoy.
A Bit of Lovely Earth.
IF Italy's pages in history are
drenched in blood. they are gilded and
glowing also with music and poetry
and song. with valor and love and
art. If she were not nation. she was
the home of many: Il bit of earth so
lovely that the coolest-headed Seog-
rapher must admire; a place that gave
birth not only to wondrous fruits and
flowers, but to marvellous children OF
men.
What our debt to her may be--in
architecture, in sculpture, in painting, IN
music in poetry. in all that raises life
from dull necessitous routine-none may
measure. Her political past we may crlti-
else: her artistic, never.
From Genoa northward to Pavia is but
a little way, but that way is over the LII
gurian Alps. all green and gray with vine
yards and olives, and noisy with swift
little rushing rivers and mill wheels clack-
ing around-a lovely way that eventually
brings us into the plain of Lombardy.
And here are many rich cities and much
of art and of history, for in this great
fertile plain between huge mountain
chains armies have ever gathered, look
ing up toward the Alps, to great victories
over the pagans beyond them, or, them
selves pagans, rejoicing in the luxuriance
spread before them, they faced joyous
ly the Apennnes and Rome.
