CRYSTAL BASKETS.
Easy to Make Handsome Ornaments
With an Alum Solution.

Easy to Make Handsome Ornaments
With an Alum Solution.
Water will, especially when boiling,
dissolve large quantities of various
substances, which when the water has
cooled are left behind in the form OF
most beautiful crystals, the shapes Of
which may vary with the substance
employed. One may take advantage
Of this fact to make very handsome
ornaments, says a contributor to the
Electrical Experimenter.
Boiling water will take up much
larger quality of alum than cold wa
ter. If we dissolve as much alum as
possible in the former as the liquid
cools crystals of alum will be deposited
on any object placed in the fluid. A
piece Of coke or cinder allowed to
stand in a boiling solution Of alum will
become coated with numerous glisten-
ing crystals as the liquid cools. 1t
will have the appearance Of natural
ly formed meteorological specimen.
Ornamental baskets, etc., may be
formed in this way by covering wire
or willow baskets. The baskets COW
cred with wire and then cotton are
the most successful, as the surface to
be coated with crystals must be some
what rough. Take twice as much wa.
ter as will be sufficient to cover the
basket, boil it in saucepan and add
as much alum as will dissolve in the
water. A quart of water Will require
about eighteen ounces of alum. Strain
this through muslin or blotting paper
into large jar and hang the basket In
the boiling liquid Stand the jar on
one side to cool and keep free from
dust. In a few hours the basket VIII
be completely covered with white crys-
tails of alum. Should it be desired to
color the crystals add the requisite
dyestuff to the alum solution before
straining it. A few drops of cheap
dye will serve the purpose well.

When is a bug not bug? The an

a snout on potato bug" Scientists

insects, but that the beetles eat with
their jaws, the same as ordinary folks,
and hence are leaf chewers. We nom

PETROGRAD, March Am the
fear that argument would result in
even more one-ous terms, the Russian
delegation at Brest-Litovsk has &C
cepted all the German peace condi-
tons and is about to sign an agree
ment, according to telegram receiv-
ed yesterday at the Smolny Institute.
The demands already have been in
creased, they reported
The message, which was addressed
to Premier Lennie and Foreign Minis
ter Trotshy, follows:
AS we anticipated, deliberations on
a Treaty Of peace are absolutely use
less, and could only make things worse
In comparison with the ultimatum of
Feb. 81. They might even assume
the character Of leading to the pre-
sentation Of another ultimatum.
"In view of this fast and in conse-
quenc eof the Germans refusal to
cease military action until peace is
signed, we have resolved to sign the
treaty without discussing its contents
and leave after we have attached our
signatures We, therefore, have re-
quested a train, expecting TO sign to-
day and leave afterwards.
THE most serious feature of the
new demands, compared with those
of Feb. 81, is the following:
ITO detach the regions of Karaband,
Kars, and Bstoum from Russian terri
tory, on the prstext Of the right of
peoples to self-detemination-"
The new territorial claims upon
Russia are apparently advanced in the
interest of Turkey. Batoum, strong
ly fortified seaport on the Black Sea
coast, in Trans-Caucasia, about 20
miles north Of the border of Turkish
Armenia, was one of the cities ceded
by Turkey to Russia after the Russo
Turkish war of 1s77-1s7s. Kars, also
in Trans-Caucasia, los miles north
east Of Erzerum, in Turkish Armenia,
has been in dispute between the Turks
and the Russians for nearly q CEN
tury, and finally was ceded to Russia
at the same time as was Batoum
The other region mentioned probably
is that of Harabagh, Trans-Caucasia
lying 10 the east Of the Kars regior
and Hsrth Of tAe Persian bstd~.

ICE FACTORY
WILL STARTllSOON

Mr.. c. J. Lawhorn is here and in an
interview with an Eagle reporter
stated that he had plans made for
starting his ice factory. He also
stated that the plant is now undergo
ing repairs preparatory to starting
up, and as soon as the plant could
be properly repaired it would be put
in operation
While the plant is of small capaci-
ty, it is a good one and when oper-
alton is resumed it will run day and
night. This will be good news to the
people of the town, as many of them
have already been greatly inconven-
fenced on account of being unable to
get ice, especially the drug stores and
soda fountains.

piled.
Condor Against Idea.
Attorney James G. Condor said he
did not approve the idea.
do you believe the present age
day too long," asked Judge Alschuler
of Mr.. Ferris.
I'm many ways it is too long," re-
piled the witness. There is a time
when a mans energy wanes. The
movement for less hours is popular
and will be countrywide"
MIR. Ferris also said it would be
just to pay extra for overtime, Sun
days and holidays. This should be
paid, he said, whether or not we are
at war.
Attorney Walsh said that only
twenty-six butchers of the 5000 Chi
cago employees of Armour g. Co. were
being paid so cents an hour. Mr..
Ferris said the number in Morris &
Co.'S plants was small.
Borland promises Inquiry.
Congressional investigation of the
number of meat inspectors at the
stock yards viii be made, according
to telegram received by Timothy A.
McCreash, organized for the butcher
workmen, from Congressman William
p. Borland.
The proposed investigation grew
out of the charge made by John Fitz-
patrick that John f. 0'Hern testi-
fed the government had refused to
furnish more meat inspectors. Mr..
O'Hen has denied he made the state
ment.
c. S. Churchill of Swift G. Co., the
next witness, opposed the eight hour
day and extra pay for overtime.
Laborers' Wages Shown.
He submitted figures showing
wages paid laborers in other indus
tries in the Chicago district. The
Illinois Steel Company, he said, paid
80 cents an hour to laborers, Crano
Company p 12 to 80 cents, Common
wealth Edison 80 cents, Link Belt 20
and 30 cents, Standard Oil 81 1-2, and
a number of railroads % and 25 cents.
The arbitration hearing will last
several days more, as the packers
have not completed their testimony
and the labor officials will have a
day or two for rebuttal.

Every patriotic production chap can
now at least study the seed catalogues
for a few days.
1t is waste of time to listen to a
tale of woe unless you have the FIVE

Because no one attempts to borrow

not escape entirely. Occasionally

sec. McAdoo.

NASHINGION, March 4.-Secre-
tary AIcAuoo mas nameu Apul 1or
the opening OF the tnlrd nDerty loan
campaign.
1t Is the first anniversary OF our
entrance into the war.
The amount, terms ana conditions
are dependent upon legislation. Secre-
tary AcAdoo sand:
Il expect to ask the Congress at an
early date 10 rant the necessary al
dltlonal authority. vi course, the
opening date OF the campaign is some
what dependent upon the new leglsla-
ton, but 1t Is hoped and believed that
the matter can be considered anu de-
termined IN ample time to begin the
campaign ON the date suggested.
A Consecrated Day.
April will forever be a consecrat-
ed day in American history and it
seems peculiarly appropriate that the
opening of the second year of our par
ticipation in this war for the honor
and rights of America and the free
dom of the world should be celebrated
with a nationwide drive for another
liberty loan.
"The campaign should begin with
great demonstrations of patriotism in
every city, town and hamlet in the
country that will truly express the
spirit of the aroused America.
"On this date every American
should pledge anew to his government
the full measure of his resources and
resolve to make every required sacri-
flee in the same fervent spirit that i'm
pels our gallant sons in the trenches
of France and on the waters of the
Atlantic to shed their blood in Ameri-
cas- sacred cause.
To Last Over Three Weeks.
THE campaign in all probability
will last three or four weeks, and an
nouncement of the opening date Is
made at this time in accordance with
my promise to make public ala mat
tiers connected with the loan as soon
as determined and in order that ample
time may be given every community
to prepare for the event"
One of the most serious financial
questions before the nation IS the pro-
blem of stabilizing liberty bonds, Sec
rotary of the Treasury MeAdoo has
Indicated to the House ways and
means committee.
The bonds had dropped to 90 on the
stock market, he said, and increasing
interest rates held no remedy.
Disloyalists Hurt Bonds.
The decline vas due, he explained,
in a measure to disloyalists who have
attempted to hurt the government
credit Small bCndholders have been
forced to sell because they needed
money, and merchants have taken
bonds in exchange for merchandise
with the expectation of cashing them.
The war finance corporation bill will
do much toward stabilizing the bonds,
McAdoo believed, for it will give the
corporation power TO buy and resell
bonds.
Opposition to any increase in the
rate of interest on liberty bonds was
indicated in the Senate this afternoon
by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia.
