STRONGEST OF ALL METALS

While insatiate hoarding of silver by natives of East India may explain the demand for the white metal in the Far East, and has been the main fac tor in the enhancement of silver pric- es, the long deferred requirements of other countries-European as we'll as Oriental must further increase the demand for the strongest of all met als," as silver has been significantly and aptly classed by an eminent east ern financial authority, with resultant effect on prices.
 According to the New York Times, "the demand for silver, however, is not confined to European and Orien- tai countries. The United States treasury, at some future date, is oblig- ed to purchase approximately $25O,- 900, ,0OO worth of the metal to replace like amount removed from the stocks of bullion in the treasury last year and exported to China and India under the Putnam act. No definite time limit is fixed by the act for this re- placement, and in some quarters it IS believed the government will be in nc hurry to replenish its stocks of the metal"

NEW ARMORY
 FOR WASHINGTON
Washington Starr

" doIuIlStO tOu SId1
 The appropriation of million dol lars for memorial armory in Wash ington, which will serve as club house for returning soldiers who visit the national capital and which will be a monument to the valor of the former District National Guard in the war just ending, will be carried in the public building bill now being prepar- ed for the extra session of congress.
 Representative John w. Langley of Kentucky, who will be chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds, has been good friend of the district ever since the days when he was government clerk. For years he has worked in committee to have the project of building new armory here pushed. He has promised the proposed armory will have his strong est support in this session of congress and says he wants to see the building made in every way fitting memorial to the district men who gave life and limb in the military service of the country. He believes that the ar mory, with an entrance in the form of an arch of triumph would serve a utilitarian as we'll as artistic and memorial purpose.

Hun Entry into Brussels

Brand Whitlock, United States min ister to Belgium, was in Brussels on that fateful day in September, 1914, when the German army entered the peaceful city. He describes the sight in Everybody's.
 "It was very still, the crowds sullen and silent, there in the glitter of the sunlight-the horses hoofs clattered on the stones of the uneven pave ment, the lances swaying, the pen nants fluttering and that deep-throat- ed chant to the tune that the English know as God Save the King and we as America and over us the gray fa- cades of the stately old church. The scene had the aspect of medievalism; something terrible, too, that almost savage chant and those gray horse men pouring down out of the middle ages into modern civilization.
 "Up and down the boulevard, un- der the spreading branches of the trees, as far as we could see, were un- dulating, glinting fields of bayonets, and mighty gray, grim horde, a thing of steel, that came laundering on with changing cymbals, nervous horses and numbering guns and wild songs.
 "And this was Germany. Not the stolid, good-natured, smiling German of the glass of beer and tasseled pipe, willing away Sunday afternoon in his peaceful beer garden, while band played Strauss waltzes; not the senti- mentality of the'blue flowers and the moonlight on the castled Rhine; not the poetry of Goethe and Schiller; not the insipid sweet strains of Mendels- sohn nor the profound harmonies ot Wagner, nor the philosophy of Inn manuel Kant; but this dread thing this Frankenstein creation, this mon- strous anachronism, modern science yoked to the chariot of the autocratlt and cruel will of the pagan world"

Evolution of tie Prospector

of wealth who will guide his plane into hitherto unknown regions. The first attempt will be regarded with great interest by his associates. Loaded with provisions and supplies the prospecting party will leave some inland city or camp at daylight and will travel with ease and comfort to some point several hundred miles away, and, from positions of ease and advantage, with field glasses in hand will be able to prospect the regions below almost as successfully as ii footing it through mountain valleys or climbing difficult places. In time a ledge or outcropping is sighted and a landing is made in the near vicin- ity. If the discovery proves of value preliminary work is performed in the way of location and by mid-afternoon the party starts for home, arriving in time for bountiful supper, in time for theater party, or in time for an eveing of rest and recreation.
 A few years later every prospector no matter how humble, will be able to own his own machine, perhaps a Ford airplane, and he, too, will make his prospecting trips with ease and possi, bly, be able to solve some of the pro- blems which have absorbed his every thought for many years.
 Prospecting by airplane will soon bt an established fact.
