To my mind there is no more inn pOrtant, no more essential legislation to be enacted at this session of con gress than that of the building up of an American mercantile marine and that of aiding the farmer to aid him. self. The first will receive initial stimulus through the passage of what is generally known as the ship pur- chase bill. The second is to be ac- compished through the enactment in to law of a system of rural credits. Both questions were before the sixty
 third congress and were discussed eXhaustively. The ship purchase bill. of which, as acting chairman of the commerce committee, l had the honor to have in charge, was not passed. Certain senators objected to certain features, while others seemed predis- posed against the bill in general,
 but the time during which it was focused as the principal measure be- fore the senate brought out proml- nently all the advantages to be gain
 ed as well as the disadvantages all
 legged by the opponents and a bill,
 modified in degree to meet the ob-
 jections interposed, has been intro duced in the house by Representative Alexander Hearings have been held on it. I believe the proposed ship purchase bill will soon be a law and then one will encounter the Ameri can flag much more frequently on | the high seas than in a great many years past It means the making oi America into maritime power com

 From Persia comes the Russian an- nouncement that the important city of kermanshah has been taken by storm by Russia's forces. Recent Petrograd advices have indicated an expectation that the southern movement of this Russian army might eventually link it up with the British operation in neighboring Mesopotania. The advance te Kermanshah places the Russian col umn within 150 miles of Kut- Fl Amara on the Tigris. near which a British force is at present stalled on it's march to the relief of General Townsend's s beleaguered army at Kut.

LIGHT ON HIS TROUBLE

One dark night three friends were crossing a deep, dry ravine, the banks of which were very precipitous As the party had been imbiding a little too freely, one of the three had to be assisted up the incline. When, thinking him safe at the top. his friends turned him loose, he fell to the bottom. He lay very still, and the other two, supposing him severe ly injured, rushed down to him. As they leaned over to discover his con dition, the fallen one exclaimed:

Rural credits system of proper kind put in force means a revivified agri- culture for America. There have been many plans suggested for helping the farmer, the fundamental idea being to devise a way whereby he may secure all needed money in conducting and improving his farm at q very low rate of interest, this to be looked after through a chain of land banks. In reality it means his emancipation in a credit way.
 While a number of bills have been before congress and the country for consideration, those most discussed have been the Fletcher Moss and the Hollis Bulllley measures, and from these. the Fletcher Moss measure having been resorted to for it's un-

Indications that this question would be opened for discussion resulted from publication of confidential advices from Berlin which forecast a request from Germany to the United States to define defensive armament.

Albanian Operations End

PARIS, Feb. 26.-A Havas dispatch from Rome says it is officially an nounced that the operations covering the evacuation of Albanian territory by Serbian, MOntenegrin and Alban- ian troops have ended. Men and horses have been gathered together, revictualed, and, together with ma ter;al, have been transported without the slightest loss and despite grave difficulties. thanks to the combined action of the Italian and allied war ships and the Italian troops along the Albanian coast.
 When the evacuation was completed hy the departure of the Albanian gov ernment from DuraZZo, the Italian brigade assigned to this city began a retreat, according to plans and in spite of serious attacks by the Aus trian forces whose losses were greater than those of the Italians.

Not Near Settlement.

BERLIN, (via London), Feb. 27.- The Frankfurter Zeitung says that there is no earnest sign visible that the diplomatic differences with the United States are near a settlement. Pointing out the refusal of Washing ton officials to warn Americans to avoid armed merchantmen, the news paper is unable to understand why the United States insists upon the right of merchant ships to arm de- fensiVely, asking against whom should they arm except enemy war ships, since pirates no longer exist"
 The decision of Washington officials to await developments is taken as indicating the United States will en- deavor further to avoid a breach with Germany, which the Frankfurter Zei- tung also wishes to avoid, declaring that a breach would be justified only if it was absolutely necessary to Ger many's most vital interests.
 The Frankfurter Zeitung approves the sharpening of the marine cam paign, but nevertheless is opposed to any ''torpedoing of anything that comes in front of torpedo tubes" The phrase is taken from a speech in the reichstag by Herr Bachmesiter, a Ma tional Liberal

Painting Hooks and Eyes.

There are many methods of mechani-
cal painting, and some of the most ex-
traordinary are described by Arthur
Seymour Jennings In his book. Paint
ing by Immersion and by Compressed
Air" One method, for such articles
as hooks and eyes, eyelets and very
small iron parts generally which can
not be successfully dipped or sprayed,
is known as 'tumbling." The articles
are placed In machine something
like a churn, together with a number
of steel balls, usually of very small
diameter, and given quantity of
japan. The churn is then closed down
and given a dozen or so rapid turns,
during which the steel balls carry the
japan to every part of the articles.
The contents Of the churn are then
dumped out on to wire trays, These
being agitated, the steel balls fall
through the meshes, leaving the paint
ed iron parts behind.

EXPLAINS WHY MEN

Thousands Of men are growing bald every
day and don't know the reason why. Many
of them never expect 10 save even what hair
is left.
This is indeed pity. says specialist be-
cause badness usually comes from earelessness
and anyone who gives the scalp little atten-
ton should always have an abundance Of good
healthy hair. Dust and dirt help to cause
badness by clogging the pores in the scalp
and giving the dandruff germs fertile ground
for breeding.
The treatment is very simple; Shampoo at
least once in ten days and destroy the dam
