Inaugural visitors this year are to be
allowed at least three days longer in
Washington than ever before. This de-
cision has been taken by the trunk line
railroads association. as Washington is
in the trunk line territory. The period
is set March j to March 10, for which
the tickets will be good in the trunk
line zone. The trunk line association
has telegraphed this decision to all of
the six other railroad associations, and
the chairmen of these associations had
previously written to Ben L. Prince,
chairman of the inaugural committee
on transportation, that they would be
governed by the action of the trunk line
association.
This means that the inaugural visitors
will spend about half million dollars
more in Washington during the stop
over period. than they otherwise would
leave here, according to the view taken to-
day by Inaugural Chairman Robert y.
Harper and other inaugural officials.
The three-day extension was granted
yesterday in New York on a hearing
given the day before at the trunk line
means that all inaugural visitors. no mat
ter from how far distant states. will have
the opportunity to remain eight or nine
days in the capital. where heretofore they
nave not had more than five. They will
have the chance to make their sightseeing
trips more leiSurely and to view Uncle
Sam in his workshop.

TRAVEL ON JOURNEY ALONE
Occasions When Men and Women May
Not Accompany Each Other In
Paths OF Pain.

The difference between men and
women is the difference between
birth and death l had thought that
the profound differences between men
and women became trivial In the face
of their still profounder similarity.
But now 1t seems to me that our deep
est experience is giving life and their
intensest moment Is when they are
called on by war to go out and destroy
the lives for which we have risked our
own.
Man plays very small part in the
supreme adventure of birth. When. a
woman goes down to death to give life
she goes alone. Man is nothing to her
then. Her husband, the father Of the
child to be born, cannot share in her
pain. Her intensest moment she lives
by herself. The great miracle of birth
Is no concern of his, and he can only
shrink back, frightened witness, and
wait and wait Unfortunately and pray
that all Is well. The great experience
for her, and for him only the permits
sion to wait.
When men go out to fight they, too,
go alone. We cannot go with them !;
we only wait while they risk their
lives that other men may die. Men
and women go alone to their supreme
adventures.-Mary Heaton Worse, In
Century Magazine.

Australian Amusements,

AS in the United States, the movies"
often constitute the chief indoor amuse-
ment, but the universal recreation Is
the picnic, which in Australia reaches
It's highest development. Men, women,
children, families, clubs, churches,
lodges and miscellaneous groups are
out on picnics afternoons, Sundays and
holidays.
Two picnics a week are not unusual.
A young lady Of my acquaintance had
five to her credit, says writer In the
National Geographic Magazine. The
picnickers walk, ride horses, take
wagons or go by motor, street car,
train or boat. They go to the shore,
to the woods, to the rivers, to pic
turesque hillside or to the geological
and botanical gardens, which in Aus
tralian cities are used, not guarded by
keep off the grass" signs. The time
is occupied by gossiping, reading, sew
ing writing letters, playing simple
games, eating lunch or supper, fishing,
swimming, studying flowers or insects,
or "plain resting"
America has much to learn from the
southern continent Of the use Of parks
and the attainment of recreation with
out the expense Of country clubs and
Coney islands.

FAMOUS AMONG WORL D MINES
Labor Troubles and High Dividends
Of Broken Hill District Of
Australia.

Broken Hill, in New South Wales,
is perhaps the most famous mining
district In Australia. noted alike for
containing the largest lead-silver mine
In the world and for its endless labor
troubles, the National Geographic Mag
azine states. These two claims to
fame are closely related, for the rich
ness Of the ore bodies and size of the
dividends have melted the miners to
get their share" The crude ore runs
10 per cent of lead and zinc and IL
ounces of silver to the ton. From a
lode ten to three hundred feet wide
and two miles long, ore to the value of
1888, 100000 has been extracted. One
of seven shares of the original proprie-
| tary syndicate. valued at $780, after
ward was quoted at S11 100000.
The Broken Hill mines have changed
the map of Australia. They support
, in the desert city of $4,000 people,
a privately owned railway $50 miles
in length, leading to port In an adj
joining state, and at the head of the
| railroad the Smeter town of Port
Pirie, with a population of $4,000.
The Broken Hill mines supply the
bulk of the lead, silver and zinc annu-
ally exported from Australia, the zinc
until 1914 going chiefly to Germany
for the manufacture of munitions. 1t
is not at all unlikely that volunteers
from New South Wales have met their
death from shrapnel made from zinc
and copper which they had previously
| mined.

Ants may be driven away by taking

pieces and dropped into boiling water.
the ants frequent. Do not let the steam
get near your eyes, as it is extremely
painful. Another recipe is: Mix one
teaspoonful of tartar emetic and one
teaspoonful of sugar and place on the

pounds of alum to three quarts of wa

new DRINK INVENTED
UncIe Sans Apple Expert Makes
Concentrated Cider.
None Can Get Exclusive Use OF
the Formula.

With the problem of finding a way
to utilize the vast percentage OF waste
in the annual apple crop of the land,
one-fourth of which is lost in the orch
ards, Fl. G. Gore, chemist in charge of
Uncle Sans fruit and vegetable utili-
zation laboratory, discovered that this
great apple loss was not so much due
to lack of cold storage and marketing
conditions as to lack of knowledge
on the part OF the farmers as to what
to do with the culls and apples for re-
tail sale that would net them any
profit.
Cider-making, though neither diff
cult nor expensive, did not give the
solution, for it is so perishable, so
to make it profitable. SO, also, cider
may be made into vinegar, but there Is
limitation to that market.
All sorts of experiments were made
toward finding a method of keeping
cider, but they did not result satisfac-
torily. Finally barrel Of frozen cider
gave the key. 1t was observed that
when the cider was allowed to freeze
naturally, the ice formed in nearly
solid mass around the outer sides of
the barrel, leaving in the center q con-
centrated nonfrozen liquid which pos
sessed all of the flavor, but which con-
tanned much less water. The outer ice
proved to be mostly water, with very
little of sugar. Analysis of the con-
centrated cider proved that it con-
tanned sufficient proportions of the acid
and sugar to preserve 1t, and the
chemist believed that at last had been
found a means to keep cider for the
market after its usual season was
past.
| Laboratory experiments duplicating
natures freezing finally established
| the fact that concentrated cider would
keep much longer than in It's original
condition and in cold storage would
keep indefinitely.
Delicious as this new kind Of cider
Is, 1t Is not being adopted commercial
| ly, for the simple reason that no man.
ufacturer Is willing to put 1t on the
market, though all who have sampled
it admit its superiority to many Of the
soft drinks which now are popular at
the soda fountains. The reason Is that
Uncle Sam will not give the formula
exclusively to any one bother. The
leading drink purveyors insist that
commercial success in marketing a
new drink depends chiefly upon the
manufacturer having the exclusive Sc
cret and patented recipe which will
/ give his brand a monopoly.
However, being always paternal
Uncle Sam has gone still further in
his efforts to teach the apple raisers
the full value Of their crops, for he
has had his chemists compile and is
sue bulletin with all Of the methods
directions, cost and even recipes fol
the utilization Of cider made In this
new way, and then teaching ways OF
making splendid apple strip that Is
marketable. The same bulletin gives
recipes for a number Of dishes II
which the strip forms part.
