passed in 1914 AT that time a loanshark law went into effect which cut
down the interest rate that might be charged in the District from 8 per cent
to 1 per cent a month. This law killed the pawn business in the capital With
the reduced rate of interest the pawnbrokers could not make a profit. Most of
them went out of business entirely, while a few located across the Potomac
river in Virginia, within a tenminute trolley ride of Washington.

MASTERPIECES OF ART LOST
Glorious Buildings of SeIinus Among
Those Of Which Hardly
Trace Is Left

The crumbling ruins of Selinus lie
scattered, over hill of western Sicily,
where once they lowered in titanic
glory. The Greek colonies of the fifth
century B. c. all had their artists and
sculptors, and Selinus boosted seven
masterpieces of Greek art erected to
the honor of its favorite divinities.
The broken columns and walls of the
most majestic temples of Sicily lie half
buried in the dust of their crushed
stones and ground into the earth as if
hurled down by mighty force. Her
cules, to whom one of the temples was
built might have torn them in anger
and flung the columns about and
crushed the massive stone to powder
with a blow of his fist. Looking out
upon the chaotic ruin from the brow
of the hill one can imagine the shat
tered columns shaking off the dust and
gathering themselves together to stand
erect again above the broad stairs The
walls seem to grow firm and square
and graceful figures adorn the en-
frances. The picture fades quickly,
and the fallen stones seem more DESC
late in contrast.
The buildings were not yet finished
when Hannibal marched upon the
proud city of Selinus and laid siege to
its stronghold. Nine days the Greek
colony held out, then Hannibal entered
in triumph and massacre and destruc-
ton followed. The temples survived,
only to fall later in more complete ruin
than the Carthaginian army could have
accomplished. An earthquake was the
cause of the overthrow. The temples
were then old, battered perhaps, but
apparently good for some centuries,
but the first trembling Of the earth
shook the very foundations and the
temples fell.

Their Indifference.

"Them city people don't give drat
for anybody but themselves !" grum-
bled old Riley Rezzidew of Petunia.
"They don't care enough about a per-
son to even look at him in passing, let
alone take any interest in who he is
or where he comes from, or ask what
he lows the weather will be tomorrow,
or even stop and size him up and spit
and say, 'Howdy! Pears like I've seen
you some'rs,' and in that way grad
ually work around to finding out what
his name is-they actually don't want
to know what his name is! And If
they accidentally find it out they never
take the trouble to inquire if he is any
kin to So-and-So. They Just nacher'ly
don't give boot whether he is or
not !'-Kansas City Star.

Best WAY TO Stain Floor.

To stain your floor dark walnut
have the floor perfectly clean, then
take a pound of burnt umber ground
in oil; paint stores sell this prepare
ton. Next take boiled linseed oil and
mix enough Of the umber with it to
color the oil, but not thicken it. Try
on a small piece of board and add UNI
Der until you have the required shade.
Rub this into the floor until the stain
ceases to come off and the wood is Of
a rich walnut brown. Some of the
color may dry out, in which ease an
other coat should be applied.

and the last run and a long one into
the more rugged country around the
little town. About ten o'clock Ruth
Loren, her cheeks crimson in the crisp
air, found herself waiting alone at the
foot of low brush-topped cliff,
while Milan Omer had ridden back the
road quarter of a mile TO search for
an important notebook that had
slipped from his pocket.
Suddenly above her she heard run
ming horses hoofs slip, and big black
horse crashed over the cliff not a
dozen feet from her.
He made no effort to rise, but his
rider wrenched himself free of him,
then fell over by him.
Ruth sprang from her saddle and
ran to the fallen man. In an agony
she thrust her fingers under the. folds
of his hunting shirt He opened his
eyes and raised himself on his elbow.

'broken, l think, the way it pains.

She made an impatient gesture.
"Why didn't you come back, Francis,

confessed "Why didn't you come to

face. Nothing hurts me now" he as
sured her. MY heart has come back

PROTECT THE MIAMI VALLEY
Work of Protecting Immense Reser-
voirs One of the Greatest Projects
of the Kind.

Were it not for the fact that the
United States has been engaged in
the greatest of world wars, the build
ing of the five dry reservoirs as part
OF a f1ood-prevention plan in the Mi
ami valley would arrest the attention
of the nation, says Howard Egbert in
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Further
than that, international construction
experts would be watching the work
with considerable interest, because the
project is by far the greatest Of its
kind ever attempted in this country.
The plan, of course, is to insure per-
manent protection to the more than
100000 inhabitants living in the Miami
conservancy district, region follow
ing closely the Miami river, an I'M
portant but not navigable waterway
which threads it's way through south
ern Ohio counties. The cost is esti-
mated at $2O,OO0,OO0. More than 1000
men are required TO complete the con-
struction work, and three years as
minimum is the length of time esti-
lUdleu dS ueCeSSdIy W Idlly OuI LAG
designs of the district. Five huge re-
tention basins, or dry reservoirs, are
being constructed, all of them now well
under way. To construct any one OF
these dams means the digging, trans
porting, depositing and compacting of
from $4,000 to 100000 cubic yards
OF earth. For the Miami river chan
mel the estimate is 100000 cubic
yards. Dams and river together will
mean the excavation and transporta-
ton in all of some 100000 cubic
yards Of earth.
The flood-conservancy project con-
sists of the dry-reservoir system,
which, once constructed, will occupy
five different tracts of land in the dis
trict. AT unusual periods of high wa
ter it is designed to permit all over
flow water to run into these basins.
They will be so stoutly constructed
that they cannot break under pressure
of millions Of gallons Of water. The
river channel, thus relieved Of the adj
ditional burden of high water, will not
be threatened, and the customary dan
ger of banks breaking or overlooking
is entirely eliminated.

Geneva. On August 10, 1886, Geneva
formally adopted Professionalism.
A year later, John Calvin, refugee
from France, stopped at Geneva, in
tending to remain there only one night.
Favel induced him to protract his visit.
In 1888 the opposition succeeded in
having Favel and Calvin expelled; but.
although Favel never returned, Calvin
went back in 1541, and gained such an
ascendancy that he was soon enabled
to set up a theocratic form of govern
ment with himself at the head. He
was, at that time, in his thirty-second
year.
The site of Calvin's house, at Ge-
neva, is at No. 10 Grand Rue. That OF
Rousseau, which still stands, is at
No. 40, the same street.
After the French revolution the city
was the capital of a French depart
ment but in 1914 it became the twenty
second canton of the Swiss confedera-
ton. Since that time the history OK
Geneva, as regards its foreign policy
has been identical with that Of the
confederation.
