Heavy Blow at Industry

This means a terrific blow on one OF
the leading industries of Japan at
present Since the war the shipbuild-
ing plants in Japan havc grown up like
the proverbial young bamboo shoots
after the spring rain. Early in 1914,
before the war, there were only six or
seven dockyards in the whole of Japan
which had shipweys suitable for the
construction of ships of more than 1000
tons. To-day she has twenty-eight of
them, with the total Of ninety-four
shipways, thoroughly equipped for the
building of large vessels from 1000 to
10000 tons.
Practically all If them will have to
shut down if the American ban on steel
Is enforced. The loss TO Japan is
something tremendous, Of course. IL
also means loss TO the cause Of the
Entente Allies, especially TO that OF
Great Britain. According to a recent
report, there arc twenty-three vessels
Of the totai TONNAGE of 100000 now be-
ing built at the Japanese yards. The
Kawssaki, at Kobe; the Mitsubishi, at
Nagasaki and Kobe; the Asano and the
Uraga dockyards are the leading plants
which are working on the contracts
ow-working day and night Work
on all these ships will come to @
sudden stop the moment the United
States stops shipments of steel to
Japan.
The consideration Of the above men
toned measure for the seizure Of ships
ct Japanese yards has a pointed sig
nifcance therefore. II Japan cannot re
place her lost ships from now until the
end Of the world war 1t behooves her
TO be mighty careful Of what little
tonnage she has. It will result no
doubt In the withdrawal OF the Jap
anese ships from all the Atlantic ser
vices, as we'll as from the European
routes.

American Embargo on
Steel Said To Be Cause
of Rigid Ruling
Blow to the Industry
Officials Look on Action of the
United States as Check to
Entente Cause
(By japanese Corresponding


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 17.-Japan
Is considering a measure to prevent the
sale Of her ships to foreigners, accord
ing to eabled messages from Toxic to
the japanese papers here. The meas
ure is before the Privy Council and Is
expected to be promulgated soon. 1t
aims TO forbid either the sale or char
ter OF Japanese-Owned vessels to for
cigners.
1t also forbids the construction OF
ships at the Japanese yards for foreign
owners. Ii is war measure and is said
10 prohibit the japanese ships from
serving on foreign route except those
especially designated by the govern
ment. 1t places in the hands of the
government the authority for the fix
ing of rates. The measure also gives
the government the power OF taking
over the ships now in commission as
we'll as those which are in the course
of construction at Japanese yards.
The full meaning OF Just what the
American embargo on steel plates
means to the shipping and shipbuild'
ing activities In Japan is dawning upon
the japanese. And as far as they can
see it is by far the most serious prob
lem coming out of the war. Unlike the
United States, Japan is not in position
to replace ships which may fall victim
to the German submarine activities.
She las not the steel with which TO
build new ships; the American embargo
on steel and iron exports simply spells
the closing up Of all her newly built

IS A VERY VALUABLE BIRD
Rouoh-Leesed Hawk, Which Is Little
Known, Is Ally Of Man Against
the Meadow Mice.

An extremely helpful friend Of ours,
when bird friends are few, is the
rough-legged hawk. Unfortunately,
this bird is little known or valued. 1t
reaches the United States from its
northern breeding range In September
and October, remaining until April.
1t may be identified afield by Its
broad wings, its large size and the
broad dark band which crosses its
breast and under side of Its wings.
says Farm and Fireside. 1t is compar-
atively tame. The name, rough-legged
or hare-footed, is made appropriate by
the birds full-feathered legs and feet.
The coloration of the American
and It's more western subspe-
cies, the ferruginous rough-leg, varies
from the type here described to almost
solid black. In this darker phase the
roughleg is commonly called the black
hawk.
On such good authority as that Of
DIR. A. X. Fisher, under whose dlrec-
tion the United States biological sur
vey made extensive field observations
of this birds feeding habits, 1t Is
stated: "The roughleg is one Of mans
most important allies against meadow
mice, feeding on little else during Its
six months sojourn in the United
States. Other mice, rabbits and grown
squirrels are taken occasionally.

Evolution o, Musical instruments.

In musical history we will find that
the evolution of musical instruments
began with the beating on drums and
tom-toms, then men began to try and
initiate nature, with the means that
nature had provided, the horns Of
beasts and their duplicates in metal.
and on the reed instruments flutes
and pipes); last we reach the culmi-
nation Of development, in the truest
and greatest of musical instruments,
the vibration Of attuned strings. So,
in musical listening, we will pass
through nearly the same develop
ment. First attracted by rhythm, then
by melody, we learn to appreciate
the true beauties Of harmony, and to
know that each one of the three ele-
ments is of equal Importance In the
building of musical composition

Care Of Tin Roofs.

The tin work on house does not as
rule receive the careful attention 1t
should, and generally, because Of lack
Of proper care, requires early renewal.
Tin guttering should be thoroughly
painted with first-class roof paint every
two or three years, rs should all other
tin work about the premises. The
work should be done by men who un-
derstand how to properly apply paint.
Poor paint Is as bad as none at all, as
It often starts chemical reaction,
which is more destructive than total
exposure. It Is poor economy to over
look or neglect such matters, to use
cheap materials or to hire incompetent
workmen, as an imaginary saving Of

penditure for entire replacement.-Ex,

ers let fly their showers of arrows,

word Of Herodotus-a "band of mad

Hastily the Persian force, spearmsn
from the Indus, wild riders from the
steppes of the Khorassan, black boE-
men from Ethiopia, the fighting men
of dozen other races, formed to meet
them. Only the infantry had time 10
gain position in line. Against them
thundered the leveled line of Athep-
ian spears. Greasy, the historian, be-
lieved the entire front rank of the
Asiatics went down at the first shock.
In the center the native Persians and
Sacae fought like fiends. They even
broke the weakened Athenian line.
But the wings, where Miltiades had
concentrated his strength, routed, all
before them, then turned and with
Miltiades at their head charged the
Persian center.
The Persians had wicker shields.
The heavy Greek spears and short
swords plunged through them. The
Persians had no body armor. The
Greeks hacked them in halves. With
their archers in their rear doing their
best to protect them by arrow flights,
exactly as does artillery on the Flan-
ders line today, the Persians hurled
themselves against the compact Greek
phalanx only to meet death. Ten to
one though they were they could not
stand the punishment. Marathon was
their Marne. They broke and ran.
And the Greeks cut them down as they
scrambled aboard their galleys.
In this historic battle which kept
Europe white, the Persian invaders
lost 6,40O men. The Athenian dead
numbered 1872. Callimachus, whose
vote had made the victory possible.
was among the slain.
The day Of Marathon is critical
epoch in the history Of nations. It
broke forever the spell of Persian In
vincibility. 1t secured to mankind the
enlightenment Of the western world.

We boast of the freedoml of this
country and the simplicity of our Re
publican form OF government, but in
times of peace there probably isn't
a ruler in Europe except the czar of
Russia who has power equal to that OF
the president of the United States. If
the espionage bill now before Con-
gress should become a law even the
czar would not much exceed the presi
dent in actual governing power.
Without knowing much about 1t we
are rather inclined to believe too that
the espionage bill ought to pass. In
time Of a real need somebody ought
to be in position to decide and at
once. 1t is impossible to assemble a
pondeious body like congress togeth-
er and get decision in time to meet
crisis. We are not SO sure but that
it may be the ultimate destiny of a
republic to merely choose dictator
from time to time with the people re-
tanning the right to change dictators
either at will or at certain stated
periods. OF course legislatures and
parliaments will remain but more
and more, the acts of legislative bodies
require at the head Of the state and
nation an executive force sufficient to
act efficiently, unhindered and with
out delay.

TAKE SALTS TO
 FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Back. achy or Have Bladder
 Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must re- lieve them like you relieve your bow els; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night
 To neutralize these. irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; tfke a table spoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which millions of men and wo- men take now and then, thus avoid ing serious kidney and bladder dis eases.-Advt,

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp of dandruff-that awful churf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff II robs the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not removed causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any time--will surely save your hair.
 Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton' } Danderine from any drug store or tot let counter, and after the first appN cation your hair will take on that life, lustre and luXuriance which is so beautiful, It will become wavy an.l fluffy and have the appearance Of abundance, an incomparable gloss and softness; but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when yon will actually see a lot of fine, downy hair-new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegitation. It goes right to the roots lnvlgorates and strengthens them It's exhilarating and life-producins properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.-Advt.

WORTHAM SHOWS KNOWN
 FOR THEIR CLEANLINSSE

c. A. Wortham is known in the show world as ''the apostle of clean amusements," title given him in spirit of satire, but which he has turned to good account and made such a reputation on the strength of it. that at the present he is undisputed king of the outdoor amusement field.
 Starting four years ago with the firm purpose of eliminating the ob- jectionable show from all his enter prises and setting new standard for tented attractions, he has since steadily kept on with his slogan, .Deacency First" until now the shows that bear his name are the ones that play nearly every state fair in the country and every big celebra- ton, such as the Fiesta San Jacinto at San Antonio, the Ak-Sar-Ben at Omaha, the Oh-Tsu-On at Houston, Texas, and the Cotton Palace cele- bration at Waco, offers him the re- fusal of their contracts before looking elsewhere for their amusement fea- lures.
 This is a reputation of which he is extremely proud and one that has never been conceded to any living snowman. It is moot saying that what Ringling is to the circus field, Wortham is in the exposition and celebration business. The Wortham Shows are cleanliness personified and it is to this virtue that they owe their engagement here under the highest auspices in the city, the Sahara Tenn pie, the members of which have made most thorough investigation as to the merits of the attractions that will make gala week of their festival, May to 12, on the lots at Main and Tenth.
 In addition, Wortham has the larg- est travelling organization of it's kind in America, an outfit that takes two trains to transport, and fills 3S double length cars to capacity with the lat est and most up-to-date show para phernalia in the world

Today-"A Mormon Maid" special feature at the Best theatre today, in six reels, with Mae Murray as the star, is exceptional and unusual. in that it gives clear de1ineation of the practices of the Mormons in the early days of Utah.
 Miss Murray is seen as the daughter of hardy pioneer under the domi- nance of the Mormon church. She is coveted by one of the church elders, both she and her father being led tC believe that the marriage of one will save the other from being forced into polygamy. The maid believes she is to be married to the man she loves but discovers to her horror that she is to be unitel to cruel "elder" who already has five wives.
 How she tricks them and escapes the marriage, and how, with the man she loves, she escapes from the city of the saints is depicted in man ner that is thrilling in the extreme.
