Administration officials made
the confident prediction this
afternoon that the general rail-
way strike will be prevented by
legislation. This statement came
following very lengthy con-
ference at the capitol between
President Wilson and legislative
leaders and while a general
hearing on the presidential ex-
ecutive program was in progress
before the Senate interstate
commence committee.
1t was admitted that the sit
uation still was extremely acute,
and that a tie-up in getting the
legislation through might null
lily all efforts; but when the
President left the capitol after
being there an hour and 40 min
utes he admitted that prog
ress toward a settlement" was
being made.

Made By Legislative Leaders

afternoon in a personal appeal
to have the railway brother
hoods call off or postpone their
orders for a general strike

but insisted that either Con-
gress must pass the eighthour

their offer before they could
act. Afterward Secretary Tum-
ulty authorized the following
statement: 'The heads of the
brotherhoods were unable to
give the President assurances
of any kind" This word was at
once transmitted to the congress

TEE SERVES DOUBLE PURPOSE
Ingenious Inventor Has Come to the Front With an Idea That Is
 Really Remarkable.

Among the hundreds of patents is- sued every week occasionally one stands out above all others as being entertainingly original and ingenious. SSch patent is one issued recently for golf tee. It is intended that the tee shall be shattered to tiny frag- ments when the ball is struck, and to act as a fertilizer after having been broken.
 The tee is manufactured in a con- ical shape with cupped top, into which the ball fits. It is made of green gelatin, so that, contrary to the cons dition which exists in the paper and rubber tees, the golfer can keep his eye on the ball without the usual dis traction. When the club strikes the ball the gelatin tee is simultaneously struck and shattered to a veritable powder. These small, green frag- ments scatter on the grass and are dissolved at the earliest rain.
 AS gelatin is an excellent fertilizer, the shattered tee serves a very useful secondary purpose.-Popular Science Monthly.

Surgeons Use carbonic Acid.

Military surgeons with the German army are taking advantage of the pain stillfng and disinfecting properties of carbonic acid in the treatment of wounds by utilizing an effervescent powder which is now being prepared. This is composed of ten parts sodium bicarbonate, nine parts tartaric acid, and nineteen parts sugar. The in- gradients are thoroughly mixed and then crushed to about the fineness of granulated sugar. The substance is applied freely to the surface of a wound, the moisture of which causes it to effervesce and liberate carbonic acid.-Popular Mechanics.

FIXED PRICE ON NEcEsSARIES
Warning European Nations Compelled to Arbitrarily Regulate the Cost
 of Foodstuffs.

Practically all the governments in Europe have, since the war, put in force regulations concerning the prices of foodstuffs.
 Some governments, while allowing the local authorities to fix prices on most things, issued decrees applicable to their whole territory concerning a few highly important articles. Thus Austria and Germany both prescribed the proportion of wheat or rye flour that should be used in making bread. Later both Austria and Germany fixed the wholesale price of cereals, and brought the distribution and consump- tion of flour and bread under strict control.
 Turkey fixed prices for petroleum, sugar, and flour. In Italy salt, tobacco and matches are government monopo- lies, so that their prices were fixed by the central authority. Denmark, Hol- land and Switzerland limited them selves to controlling the most impor- tant breadstuffs of each country.

Woman's Idea of War.

This is the final opinion of war that an American woman formed after see ing it in reality. It is a quotation from Kings, Queens and Pawns," 1T which Mary Roberts Rinehart gives her first-hand impressions.

 War is boy carried on a stretch CT, looking up at Gods blue sky with bewildered eyes that are soon to close War is woman carrying a child thai has been injured by she'll War is spirited horses tied in burning build ings and waiting for death.

MoNTENEeRIM CITY OF WORTH
lpek Would Be Place of Importance But for Its Unfortunate Geo.
 graphical Situation.

lpek, the first Montenegrin city to fall before the invaders, is the most important city acquired by the Black mountain people for their part in the war of the Balkan league against the Ottoman empire in 1912, says a primer on war geography given out by the National Geographic society. Situ- ated anywhere else but in the worlds most troubled peninsula, Ipek would have made name and riches as a mecca for vacationists; beautiful and varied, it's air is fresh and full of mountain-tang, and the rich Mediter- ranean fruits are grown in it's gardens
 For the sportsman Ipek could have furnished hunting fishing and noun tain-climbing. For the nerve-worn pa- tient it could have given a bracing climate and picturesque solitudes All of these things would have made it tempting spot to the pleas ure-seeking vacationist. AS an un- fortunate center of unrest, however where Albanian, Montenegrin, Turk and Servian kept the pot of trouble boiling year after year under an Ot- toman administration that stirred the embers under the pot when these showed signs of smoldering, Ipek has remained unknown by the world out side for the beauties of it's place.
 Ipek lies upon the present borders of Montenegro, in the east toward Serbian Prithtina. The Mokra Plania rise high behind it to the west, and this range forms the immediate bar Tier to the invaders from Ipek. On neighboring heights is situated fa- nous monastery, in which the Serb ian patriarchs formerly housed, the lpek monastery, founded by Arch bishop Arsenius in the thirteenth century. Many of the olden chiefs of the Serbian church are buried here, and here, also, is preserved the marble throne, upon which the patri- archs were crowned. The city lies 73 miles east-northeast of Albanian Scu- tari, which latter city has now become the seat of Serbian government. It has population of 15,000, which has been better housed and circumstanced than most of the populations in the Balkan uplands.
