Dye Makers Have Much to Learn.

Springfield, H., Jan 28.-In a gen
eral discussion of the dye shortage
caused by the shutting off of the Ger
man supply speakers at the session of
the Illinois cleaners and dyers con-
vention here today said the United

producing it's own dyes. The men
engaged in the work in this country
have lots to learn in the opinion of
most Of those who took part in to-
days discussion, but all agreed that
many of the dyes being produced are
giving satisfaction.

REPORT BUILDING
IS IN BAD SHAPE
Old Brewery Plant Land Mark Here,
to be Inspected to Determine Ne
cessity of Condemnation.

The old Raible & Stengel brewery
building, Third avenue and Fourth
street, is to be inspected by Building
Inspector c. V. Johnson as to the ne
cessity of condemnation, and it is pos
sible another Of the landmarks Of
Rock Island will be RACED.
Police today reported the condition
of the structure as they found it to the
building inspector. The police de-
clared bricks had fallen from the walls
onto the sidewalk.
The walls of the building apparently
have not suffered such results Of age
as the roof and the interior, which are
in dilapidated condition. The build
ing at present is unoccupied.
When the Rock Island Brewing COM
pany absorbed the Raible & Stengel
plant the building was no longer used
as a brewery. It was subsequently the
home of shoe factory, button manu-
featuring plant and various other COM
merical enterprises.

effects of a quantity Of acid forced
down his throat by an unidentified

There was time when the argument was maze
that insurance on live, would be invitation TO muir
der giving encouragement TO evil persons who m1SAt
desire to reap profit from the death OF the person
whose lie had been in>urcd says an exchange c'lt"-
rally. The absurtitv OF this argument soon became
apparent and now it is generally recognized that IN
asr1ltch as life insurance brings peace OF mmd may
be said to add to the length of life. The same ar%u-
mtnt made against life insurance has been hld" ais"
with reference 70 national insurance, which is merely
another term for adequate national defense. y tor

honor of the United States if this country were known
70 be fully prepared Tor war There would be lever
agressions and less desire to test strength History
does not show a single case where the unpreparcd-
ness of nation saved it from war. history does
show however many cases where the strength OF a
nation discouraged enemies from provoking final
break.
In the expenditures for national defense were TO
have no other effect than prevent for one year
it would mean "a saving of at least S3,OOOOO0OOO to
the United States Estimates based recent official
reports show that the expenditures of the four great

No. matter how much the Jnted States would

The New York World stanch supporter Of i'resl-
den, Wilson and chroncaly violent opponent OF COL
Roosevelt. appears to think that the Colonel may
shack Gen: Leonard Wood for the Republican can

failure at Chicago
Col Roosevelt and some OF his followers are by
no means as sanguine they were three weeks ago
saws the World but belcye that they can beat MT.
Root, and at a pinch nominate man OF the COL
onels choosing possibly Major-t General Leonard
Wood"
This bit of political comment is based. obviously
upon the belief that Root might be an opponent "l
the Colonel's for the nomination. Such belief IS
not the general impression. Most OF the supposedly
INSIDE" observers say that Root knows 1t would De
folls TO oppose the Colonel with candidacy OF his
own. has no intention OF doing SO, and is far more
likely 10 work with Roosevelt than against him.
The New York political factions are said to be
lined up as follows
The Whitman faction, generally conceded to be
dominating state politics. is for Hughes, but with
many of the delegates only lukewarm in their cntn
siasm for the jurist ~ ....
The Barnes Madsworth faction insists that Col.
Roosevelt is already beaten and is trying to side
track Hughes, with the hope of nominating Senator
Roof. Governor Mccall of Massachusetts or Senator
Burton An interesting feature is that report was
given some credence in state political circles that some
of the Whitman leaders believe Gen. Wood is the
strongest candidate in the Empire State and may
switch their support to him. = ~. ..... @.. -
All of these rlmors and forecasts like those cur

materialized and military experts say that there is
little chance of it materiaizing this summer Ser-
Gus Turkish attacks on the Suez Canal and Egypt,
with the coming of the hot weather and the drying up

only remote possibility though sharp raids may, it

Turkish troops are still on the Sinai peninsula, an
arid tract of Egyptian territory lying between the
Suez Canal and the nominal boundary of Turkey in
Asia, stretching across from Rata the Medterra-
mean to Akaba on the gulf of the name forming
an arm of the Red Sea- They are, however, the OBJ
iect of repeated observation the part of allied air
men, and accommodating parties have kept in touch
with them and made themselves fully acquainted
with their dispositions Only recently the occupation
by allied troops of ifjaffa about sixty miles to the
east of the Suez Canal placed an obstacle in what
would have to be the main line of Turkish advance
towards the canal This from FL Audja to Is

Rlimors are ahoat that the frontage-tax will be

1t was political issue in the last campaign, and
boomerang for the short-sighted Democrats who op-
posed this assessment plan for local improvements:
At the last campaign the law had been the statute

in enforcing it, and when election time drew near
they went out on the stump their failure by
attacks on the law itself They made it one OF their

Improvement plan is working successfully in Homo

sections are waking to its many benehts-and the
party or faction which espouses a fight against it
ought to be repudiaed at the primaries and drubbed
