RULER GIVEN SMALL SALARY
Swiss President Contented With Year.
ly Wage That Would Not Satisfy
American Business Man.

The most modest and unassuming
ruler In Europe is undoubtedly the
president of the Swiss confederation.
1t Is an astounding fact, but even In
his own country his name Is not wide
ly known, and II a Swiss who resided
outside his native land were asked the
name of Helvetia's official head he
would invariably express complete ig'
norance on that point.
The president, who is elected by the
federal assembly, holds the office for
only one year, from January 1st to
December 31st, and usually the vice
president succeeds him. His chief
duty is to direct his country's foreign
policy for most of the internal admin
istration is in the hands Of the cantons
or districts. There are 35 cantons,
each of which Is represented at the
two houses of parliament.
The president this year is NJ. Ed
mund Schulthess, and his official salary
is f540, with an additional 1900 for
expenses. He has federal council OF
seven, which forms q sort Of cabinet,
and each member receives f4S0 per an.

SAVING HORSES IN WARTIME
Preparation That Renders the AMI
mails Practically Invisible Is Re-
ported to Have Been Success.

Useful experiments are being car
ried out In the United States with the
object of determining whether horses
can be so colored as to render them
less conspicuous and reduce the
chances of their being made a target
for the fire of an enemy. Some of the
tests have been conducted In Arizona,
with animals of the First cavalry, and
apparently have been attended with
considerable success.
According to the Army and Navy
Register, a solution was applied to an
animal with an ordinary grooming
brush or sponge after the coat had
been dampened with water to prevent
the coloring stuff from running down
over the dry hair.
1t changed the horse from a dark
chestnut to yellow dun, according to
the strength. This dye lasts about
four or five weeks, longer or shorter
time depending upon whether the ami
NAL is shedding or not, and 1t does not
take as long to color a horse as Or
binary grooming takes, as ii is only
necessary 10 go over the animal once
In the same direction as the hair lies.
1t neither Injuries nor alters the tex
ture or feel of the coat. At 400 or
500 PAGES the animal was almost
invisible. In Arizona or Mexico,
it is stated, the color can be
put on SO as to dry the exact
color of the ground, and no natural
colored animal is as nearly invisible
at distance as animals that have
been treated with a coat Of war
paint" in the desert country.
One expert has stated that 1t is al
most impossible for sniper to shoot
horses colored in the way that Ii has
been done in the First cavalry corrals
ON the border, because the enemy will
be unable to see the animals at any
great distance.
