JUAREZ IS AN ADOBE CITY
Mexican Town Displays General Un- kemptness and Careiessness,
 and Is Not Attractive.

Most Americans have gotten their Ideas of Mexico from the city of Juarez. which lies just across the in- ternational bridge from Fl Paso. This Is unfortunate and some day Mexico will realize it, writes Niksah.
 Juarez is an adobe city, which is to say that it is of one drab gray mono- tone. relieved here and there by white washed porches and shutters painted pale sky-blue. In this 1t resembles most other Mexican towns, but its streets are narrowed and worse kept, it's houses more in. need of repair and its street cleaning department more completely nonexistent, if such a phrase is permissible, than in almost any other Mexican city of Its size. And this is unfortunate, because so many foreigners never see more of Mexico than JuareZ.
 A moderately well administered Mexican town, and there are many such, is picturesque and pleasant. The

In Havana the whole political. social They are tremendous influence in every way. They are of all kinds, of all sizes. of all degrees of expensive ness and exclusiyeness. The largest are the so-called "centros." which were founded under Spanish rule. by men of Spanish birth, in order to furnish n bond and meeting place for men from the same province of Spain. Thus the "Centro Galiego" was founded for Galieians. and the "Centro Astruino" for Austrians. The former of these Is now the largest club In the world,
 Besides these eentroS, there are nu- merous other sorts of clubs. There are clubs for the lahoring man. where for $1.30 month he gets. not only the so- cial and convivial privileges of the club house. but benefit and protective insur- ance night school advantages for his family, hospital for himself. even the services of dentists and opticians. One club goes so far as to maintain an asylum. On the other hand exclusive clubs of the conventional type are not lacking-clubS for the rich. yacht clubs, athletic clubs and political clubs. Ha- vanas motto seems to be: "ro each man club according to his needs.
 Practically without exception these clubs, large and small have housed themselves in beautiful buildings.

Mrs. Norman De R. Whitehouse, who goes as a government emissary to Switzerland shortly to direct campaign to interpret America's war ideals there. was given credit for Heading the suffragists" to victory last November. As chairman of the New York State Woman Suffrage party she spared no effort to crown the issue with success.
 The campaign ended, Mrs. White house turned her attention to the question that seemed to be occupying the minds of skepties: Now that you have the vote what are you going to do with it?" and inaugurated a com prehensive. campaign in the city and state to prepare women to use the bal lot inte1ligently.

Cute Out of Existence

The lute has vanished. It was one of the oldest of instruments, and had q beautiful vibrant tone somewhat like that of the harp. But it's size and compleXity were against it. It had a long tail and many strings, and while its size increased it's power and range, it also increased it's weight and made it cumbrous. The minstrel of today plays on the mandolin. the guitar or the banjo-and the lute is forgot.

Salmon's Many Foes.

From the time the mother salmon, Tn answer to the primal urge, leaves the ocean, until the young return. the salmon faces and is preyed upon by more varied enemies than perhaps any other denizen of the deep. Man. bears, birds, eat the mature fish. as do also the hair seal and the sea lion. The eggs are rich and eagerly sought food by trout and ducks and other fresh water fish and birds. The young fish, too. are preyed upon by many species of the larger fish. Yet, in face of such tremendous odds. the salmon for count less ages has maintained the balance of numbers largely in its favor.

' WAS strange irony of fate l that forced reyolutionists, hard i pressed by the soldiers of Ker-
 ensky, te fall back into the krem- l lin of Moscow. for centuries the seat of deSpotiSm of Russia. And addition al inserest was attached to this his toric spot hy the later announcement that here kerensky intended to estab- llsh his government. Perhaps no city of the nation has figured so prominent ly in the turmoil which for centuries has accompanied Russian politics as has this "city within city"
 It was on the cite of the Kremlin, now the center of the city. that Mos COW was founded by Yuri Dolgoruki, prince of kiev. In 1147. The historians believe village existed on the heights above the River Moska even before the advent of Prince Yuri. Within a century, says the Kansas City Star, the new village entered into the tur- moil of Slavic wars then raging. In 123S the kremlin, then an important military station of the principality of Vladimir. was sacked and burned by Batou-Khan. In 1293 it was again sacked and it's inhabitants were carried away into slavery by Khan Nagai. Since then 1t repeatedly has been plum dered and burned.
 The Kremlin is almost Triangular in shape. and is surrounded by high earthen wall, mile and half long, which has stood for centuries. 1t is one of the five divisions of the city which still retain their palisades. The Kremlins wall is surmounted by IS towers and pierced by five gates.
 In the Kremlin are grouped some of the most beautiful buildings of Russia. Within it's walls may be read the arehi- tectural history of the nation, but per haps thesmost interesting of the sights of the acropolis is the tower of Ivan the Great. 322 feet high and crowned by a gilt dome

tempted to raise it to the dome, until 1t was raised in 1882 to the marble ped estal where 1t now stands. On Easter eve all the great bells of the Kremlin toll out their message of the resur- rection, and before the war travellers journe; ed from all over the world to participate in the impressive Easter ceremony there.
 In the early part of the fourteenth century Ivan Danilovitch of Vladimir took the title of grand prince of Mos COW and moved the government from Vladimir to Moscow. From that time until the beginning of the eighteenth century, when the administration was transferred to St. Petersburg, the Kremlin remained the seat of gov ernment.
 Time after time, together with the rest of the city of Moscow, the krem- lin hSs been burned, the last instance being in 1912, when it was occupied by Napoleon, and the inhabitants started conflagrations throughout the city which forced the Little Corporal to commence his disastrous retreat from Russia. Napoleon's headquarters were in the Kremlin. and. while the flames there were not so destructive as in the remainder of the city, the fire attained i sufficient magnitude to compel the i French to evacuate.

To Calculate Interest.

A rule often recommended for cal
culating interest for short periods is
as follows: To find the interest of
any given sum for any number of days,
multiply the principal by the number
of days and divide as follows: At 5
per cent, by -; at 6 per cent, by 60;
at per cent, by 80; at per cent, by
40, and at 0 per cent, by 40.
