The overseas service of the Ameri-

The overseas service of the Ameri-
can Library association is in opera
ton. Although space is extremely
valuable aboard transports, they have
been provided with bookcases holding
collections OF books which are used
as circulating libraries on the way
over. The cases are emptied at port
of debarkatiOn and the books sent to
the men in the field.
AS a means of further increasing the
supply Of books among the overseas
forces, the association plans to have
each soldier carry book in his kit,
to be put in circulation when he
reaches the other side.
Secretary Houston of the depart.
ment of agriculture has set forth the
policy which he thinks should be fol-
lowed in highway construction during
the war:
$50 far as it is practicable to do SO,
this department will urge the main
tenance of the highways already con
structed; the construction and com
plet0n of those highways which are
vitality important because of their
bearing upon the war situation or for
the movement of commodities; the
postponement of all highway construc-
ton relatively less essential or not
based upon important military or
economic needs. The department Is
preparing to suggest to the state high
way departments the preparation of a
schedule of work for the federal aid
projects for 1918 in line with this pol
ICY"
Road construction and maintenance
In the United States involve an annual
expenditure of about $300000,000.
The department Of labor is arrang-
ing to bring into the United States
10000 laborers for railroad and farm
work, from Porto Rico and the Virgin
islands, according to Louis F. Post,
assistant secretary of the department
Of labor.
Mr.. Post declares there is no neces-
sity for importing common labor from
Mexico or China. Porto Rico is an
agricultural territory and yet has a
density Of population exceeded by only
three states. A considerable surplus
of workers exists ON the island. 1t
can furnish 100000 laborers, and the
Virgin islands can send 10000 more.
Arrangements are being made to
bring over $4,000 men as soon as ton
mage Is available.

A recent report made by the United
States consul in Tasmania, an island
state of Australia, includes the follow
ing:
1.-THE general scheme for the repatri
alton Of returned soldiers contemplates
placing them upon the land. AT re-
cent conference between the common
wealth and the state authorities, it
was decided that each state would
have to find the land, while the COM
nOnwealth government would advance
up to $2,433 to improve the holding of
each returned soldier and to procure
the necessary stock and implements.
In this state it was deemed that the
crown lands would prove too difficult
to improve to attract returned SOL
diers, and it was decided to purchase
large estates and divide them up into
small farms and to use the money ad-
yanced by the commonwealth govern
ment for buildings, fences and tools.
The money expended by the state in
purchasing the land, as well as the
money advanced by the commonwealth
for improvements, Is a lien upon the
property and must be repaid in small
annual payments. 1t was also decided
by the commonwealth to advance
money to returned soldiers who may
desire to rent land. Bills will be in
troduced into the various parliaments
at once so that this scheme can be
put into operation throughout Aus
tralia."

FROM PLANE IN PARACHUTE.
Frenchman Claims First Stunt, But
American Beat Him to 1t.

With the American Army in
France, July 31.-Capt. Sarret, a
French aviator, has carried out the
first experiment on record OF falling
from moving. airplane with a para
chute. Capt. Sarrett dropped 500
yards with an umbrella twelve yards
in diameter and landed safely.
He occupied and fell from the OBJ.
servers position, but similar expert
ments from the pilot will be under
taken soon.
The aviator crawled out of his
seat when the plane was above
smooth ground and hung by his
hands with the parachute firmly at
tached to his body and lightly at
tached to the airplane. When he
Jumped the parachute opened per-
fectly and bore him gently to the
ground, where he landed unharmed.
This Is the first time that an aviator
has jumped from a machine with a
parachute. Experiments in the past
have been made with sandbags, which
were cut loose at varying heights.
Although Capt. Sarrets trial was
made at height Of 500 metres it is
declared there Is no obstacle to
jumping a greater distance since the
parachute has an even better chance
to open. When successful the en-
ployment of parachutes will save the
! lives of many aviators. Airmen will
| be able to leave their flaming ma
chimes and will not meet death as
did Major Raoul Lufberry on May 10.
Capt. Sarret was in the air about
| three minutes after he had cut loose
from the airplane. He was COM
pletely composed upon landing and
wrote brief message describing his
sensations during his descent.
| American First.
San Antonio, Texas, July 81
Rodman Law has jumped from a
moving airplane several times and
landed safely with the aid of para
chute at Kelly Field. The last time
the feat was performed was from a
height of 5000 feet, with Secretary
| McAdoo spectator. The plane was
driven by Edward Stinson and an or
dinary balloon parachute was used.

DEATH OF FORMER RUSS. CZAR.
Attempted Speech Before Execution,
But Rifles Spoke First.

Amsterdam, July 31.-Given two
hours in which to prepare for his end
Nicholas Romanoff, former Russian
Emperor, was taken out by his exc
cutioncrs in a state Of such collapse
that it was necessary to prop him
ger, of. Berlin, which claims to have
received from a high Russian person
age an account of the Emperor's last
hours.
Nicholas was awakened at o'clock
on the morning Of the day Of his ex-
ecution by a patrol Of non-commis-
stoned officer and six men. He was
told to dress and was taken to a
room, where the decision of the So
Wet council was communicated to
him. He was informed the execu-
ton would be carried out in two
hours.
The former Emperor, it is added,
received the announcement of the
sentence Of death with great calm
and collapsed in a chair. After a
few minutes he asked for priest,
with whom he was allowed to remain
unattended.
Subsequently he wrote several let
ters.
When the escort arrived to take
him to the place Of execution Nicho-
las attempted to rise from his chair
but was not able. The priest and a
soldier were obliged to help him get
to his feet. The condemned man de-
scended the stairs with difficulty and
once he fell down.
AS he was unable to stand without
support when the place Of execution
was reached he was propped against
post. He raised his hand and SEEM
ed to be trying to speak, but the
rifles spoke and he fell dead.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dymamiate on
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
INTO contact with sour bile it crashes
INTO IT, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-

TO your druggist and get bottle Of

which Is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and If it doesn't start your

and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just 20
back and get your money.
If you take calomel to-day you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides, 1t may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full Of

Last month the condition OF cotton
was SIS per cent of a normal and a

cast. The crop last year amounted
to | l.3O0,254 bales and the average
for the five years G912-16) was
1927, 900 bales. The condition Of
the crop on July 25 last year was
70.3 per cent Of normal, the pre-

The area planted to cotton this
year is the second largest on record

Where Loss Comes In.
The loss Of 1,706.0O0 bales in the
prospective cotton crop is due princi-
pally to drouthy conditions in the
western part of the cotton belt, es-
ecially in Texas, was shown to-day in
the Department of Agriculture's Au-
gust production forecast, placing the
estimated crop at 1000 equiva-
lent 500-pound bales, compared with
1927, 900 bales forecast in July.
The crop in Louisian also suffered
greatly from drouth. In Oklahoma
there was a decline Of Is points and
in Arkansas Of IA points. The aver
age decline from June 20 to July 25
in these States Is from one to three
points.
For the entire cotton belt, the de-
cline in the condition OF crop was

Observation-Disclosures.

A black band with a gold star, has
been recommended by the Woman's
Committee Of the National Defense
Council, to be worn instead of mourn
ing by American women who have
lost members Of their families in the
service Of their country.
The action Of the committee at this
time is prompted by a feeling on
their part that we should determine
beforehand the attitude we are to
take towards the inevitable growing
death"roll Of the defenders of our
country. The wearing Of such insig-
MIA will, they feel, express better
than mourning the feeling Of the
American people that such losses are
matter of glory rather than of pros
trating grief and depression.
President Wilson has approved the
resolution of the Woman's Commit
tee Ia the following letter to its
Chairman, Dr.. Anna Howard Shaw:
The White House, Washington.
MY D@ar DR.. Shaw:
'"Thank you for your letter of yes
terday. l do entirely approve Of the
action taken by the Woman's Com
mittee in expressing, in executive
session, namely, that a three-inch
black band should be worn, upon
which a gilt star may be placed for
each member of the family whose
life is lost in the service. and that the
band shall be worn on the left arm. |
hope and believe that thoughtful peo-
pie everywhere will approve Of this
action, and hope that you will be
kind enough to make the suggestion
OF the committee public, with the
statement that it has my cordial en-
dorsement.
