Britain Needs Timber.

The demand for timber in Great
Britain is SO great, owing to the war,
that the export of this material from
Newfoundland, which has been prac-
tically abandoned of late years, is
now being revived. Until about ten
years ago there was a substantial an
nual export of deal and sawn lumber,
but about that time the possibilities
Of the island for pulp and paper-mak-
ing were emphasized to such an ex-
tent that large enterprises along these
lines were established in Newfound-
land, with the result that large
quantity Of logs that had previously
been exported in the form of lumber
are now utilized and manufactured
into pulp and paper on the spot. Now,
however, the war has brought about
new conditions, and the increased
price for lumber has stimulated a re-
vival of the exporting trade, the vari-
GUS concerns throughout the island,
which hitherto have been operating
entirely for the local trade, having de-
cided this summer to 60 into the ex-
port business on an extended scale,
as the compensation, II the cargoes
are got securely across the water, Is
very large.

POSITION AS LURE TO GIRLS
Girl Without Future Can UNDERSTAND
Readily Why Some Marry
Without Love.

Some people cannot understand how
love, Olive Higgins Prouty writes in
the American Magazine. She can do
1t more easily than she can stay at
home, watch half her friends marry,
and feel herself slowly ossifying into
something worthless and unessential.
1t takes more courage to sit quietly,
wait for what may never come, and
observe without misgivins the man

the southwest All the marks of the
prosperity and importance of Aquileia
have fled to Trieste, in the east, and to
harbor is choked with silt and drifting
dunes, while RATS and fishing boats
are almost the only craft that now
thread the varying channels. The mod
ern village, counting 1900 people, is
unhealthy on account of it's rice fields
and is neglected and forgotten.
Aquileia is grave Of past achieve
ment and much-weathered monument
of the world of the Roman age. It's
museum is rich in trophies of Roman
times and it's ancient cathedral and
the remains Of the patriarch's palace
are it's most eloquent concrete memo
ries. Aquileia, as is much of the north
ern and western coast of the Adriatic,
is rich field for Psychologists and
antiquarians.
The city is said to have been colo
niZed by the Romans as a frontier
fortress against the Celts in 1873 B. c.!
In 1853 A. D. Marcus Aurelius made il
one Of the strongest fortified positions
in the empire. During Hadrian's reign
it's population reached the 100000
mark. Attila destroyed the city in
452 A. D., and it never recovered it's
greatness. Aquileia was great and
strong only throughout its Roman
history, when, during its prime, 1t
ranked Immediately after the Eternal
city itself. Its fortunes were those Of
the Roman world, and modern Italy,
looking back over the gulf of centu-
ries, feels itself not only the descend
ant, but also the heir of Latin Rome.

Cacao Used az Currency.

Cacao passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time of the European
conquest, and that despite plentiful
supply of gold. Joseph Acosta, in
1910, tells us the Indians used none
of their gold or silver for traffic in
or buy withall, and unto this day the
custom continues among them that
instead of money they use cacao."
The Aztecs of ancient Mexico also
used "cacao" as small change, as
many as 5000 beans being counted
legal tender. The value of the beans
may be judged from the fact that "a
tolerably good slave" could be pur-
chased for 100 of them.-London

spot of earth, an ancient Roman out
post where DICTIONARIES stood guard
against northern barbarians and
where Caesars sought to regain their
dissipated health, Meran has main
tanned through all it's checkered history
q high reputation as pleasure and
health garden, and as resort for rank
and fashion, says the bulletin of the
National Geographic society. This pic
turesque Tyrolese city, banked around
by lesser Alps, has been a favorite
wintering place for wealthy Ameri-
cans, number of whom have pur-
chased villas here and some of whom
have become permanent residents.
Considerably more than 10000 guests
sought Meran each year, many, nomi-
nally, fo1 their health, but most for
the beauties of climate and surround
ings and for the light gayeties of the
fall and winter season.
The counts of Tyrol, the noble fam
lily from which the region took its
name, long made Meran their resi-
dence. The much decayed castle of
Tyrol, the original seat of the family,
overlooks the town, and the mountain
shelves and cliffs through the neigh
borhood are crowned with many other
ancient castles and fine chateaux.
Meran is the first town of the upper
Adige valley. 1t is AZ miles south
southwest of Innsbruck and 20 miles
northwest of Bozen on the Bremen
line. The rugged Kuechelberg lies
behind it and all the hills beside are
covered with miles of arcaded vine
yards. Delicious grapes and wine are
the towns most famed products. A
grape cure is one of the attractions of
the place, while the climate draws
many suffering from lung troubles.
| Normally, Meran's season begins in
early fall and lasts through to the end
of spring.
italians Love AquileIa.
| Aquileia, one of the first towns cap

among the Austrian Italian-speaking
possessions in the sentimental attach

Situated six miles back from the Adri.
attic sea, at the edge Of the lagoons
in the Austrian province of Goerz and
Gradisca, it was once great and

against the pressing hordes Of outside

the end of the fourth century Ausonius
placed it ninth on the list of the great
cities of the earth.
Today Aquileia is a mean, poverty

Summer-Spoiled Skin
Removed by Absorption

AS undue summer exposure usually
leaves an undesirable surface of tan,
redness or roughness, often freckles,
too, the sensible thing to do is to re-
move such surface. There's nothing
better for this than ordinary merco-
Lied wax, which actually absorbs an
unwholesome complexion. The thin
layer of surface skin is itself absorbed
gently, gradually. SO there's no incon-
venience, no detention indoors. Spread
the wax lightly over the entire face at
bedtime and take it off in the morn
ing with warm water. If you will
get one ounce OF mercolized wax at
the drugstore, use it for week or
so, you may expect marked improve
ment daily. When the underlying
skin is wholly in view your complex
ion will be marvel of spotless purity
and beautiful wilderness.
Don't let those summer wrinkles
worry you; worry breeds more wrin-
kles. Danish them by bathing the
face in solution of powdered saxo,
lite, / o., dissolved in " pint witch
hazel. Used daily for while this will
be found wonderfully effective.-Adv.

WILSON TOLD
He MUST FIGHT
FOR ELECTION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-All admin
istration forces were today working
tooth and nail to force adjournment OF
congress not later than September ~.
For the first time since the natlonal
conventions, President Wilson today
has made 1t plain that he has tight
on his hands for reelection. Ana
while he still insists that his congress
sional legislative program be com
pleted before congress adjourns. he is
finally willing to use all pressure to
get his pet bills through.
Told Of Inroads.
The president was told In rather
plain language yesterday by Vance
Mccormick, chairman, and Homer 5.
Cummings, vice chairman Of the Dem
ocratic national committee, that the
western trip Of Republican Candidate
Charles Evans Hughes would put
starch" in the Republican campaign.
The attack on the administrators pol
icy Is to be most bitter and continu-
GUS and as result Of the enlistment
of Nelson O'Shaughnessy, 1t was ex-
planned that many documents, now IN
the archives of the state department,
will be dragged into the limelight.
In order that the Mexican situation
shall be settled as far as possible be-
fore the latter days of the campaign,
the president. is expected to accept the
latest Carranza note and name the
American commissioners within the
next few days. Then the democratic
orators will be given the word to cut
loose.

JUDGE WILLIAM MORROW, BORN AT MILTON,
OBSERVES IS BIRTHDAY AT San FRANCISCO

William W. Morrow of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals cele-
brated his seventy-third birthday re-
Gently at San Francisco, his home.
After public service covering almost
the entire length of his adult life. the
venerable jurist Is as well kept phys
ically and as mentally alert as the av-
erage man of 40 years. To few has
fallen the long, honorable and dis
tinguished career it has been the
good fortune of this noted man Of law
to experience.
Born near Milton, Indiana, July Is,
1S43, Judge Morrow, with his parents,
William and Margaret (Hood) Morrow
removed to California in 1859, and for
the ensuing two years was a public
school teacher In 1862, when still
under his majority, Judge Morrow
went to Idaho, where he amassed a
small fortune at mining, and, Incl
IDENTIFY had several hair-raising exper-
fences with Indians. He then returned
East with the intention of joining the
army, but was persuaded to become
the confidential secretary to Secretary
Salmon P. Chase. In the performance
OF his duty he carried money to the
front for the purpose of paying off the
troops. At one time he carried
$10000,000 from Boston to New York.
In 1865 he was sent to California via
Tehuantepec with $5,000,000 in eight
iron chests, which in turn were pack
ed in wooden boxes. No one knew
their contents save Judge Morrow,
who sailed from New York on mer-
chairman. He has in his possession
today the instructions signed by Sec
rotary Chase ordering him to throw
the chests overheard if the ship was
attacked by a Confederate vessel
The boat which carried him arrived
safely at Greytown, and he carried
his treasure, partly by water and
partly by OK team, to San Joaquin del
Sur, where he loaded it on a vessel
bound for San Francisco.
Meanwhile he had been studying
law, and, returning to California, he
was in 1869 admitted to the bar.
The following year he was appoint
ed Assistant United States Attorney,
which position he held until 1874.
