 Seats were provided in the stand for about 300 people, and other seats in front of the stand are said to accommodate 5000 Last Sunday distinguished member of the American aero service was billed to speak there in the interest of the Victory Loan.
 Between and o'clock in the afternoon the time designated for the speaking, over 5000 people were assembled there On the floor of the stand mud had caked in some places as much as half an inch thick There was perhaps not a single square foot of the floor free of red clay that had fallen from the shoes of people passing from the muddy walks onto the stand.
 Notwithstanding advance notice of the speaking date had been given, no attempt was made to sweep off the dirt, and, of course no scrubbing had been attempted In fact, the floor appeared as though it had never been scrubbed since it was put down there
 For live, progressive city that brides itself on it's beautiful homes and attrac- tive residence districts, that makes claim to culture and refinement, to permit pub lie place to remain in the condition noted at Capitol Park stand Sunday is sad re- flection
 The seats in front of the stand, built for people to sit upon, were not in much better condition Persons sitting on them Sun day afternoon would have been compelled to send their clothes to the cleaner before wearing them again.
 Scattered over the park and all parts of it, were sheets of newspaper, scraps of wrapping paper and rubbish of various descriptions
 No one seemed to be in charge of the park, no one rsponsible for it's care and up keep.
 Capitol Park is supposed to be place for the people to go for breath of fresh air, to rest under the shade of the trees and to breathe the fragrance of the fresh spring flowers.
 Capitol Park as it really was Sunday would detract rather than attract. Perhaps it might be we'll for the city commissioners to take look at this park and the others, too, and then take what ever steps may be necessary to put them in

Trinity Mems club last night en-
tertained the boys of the parish
who have returned from military
sEvice at a banquet in the parish
house, Nineteenth street and Sixth
avenue, at GAS o'clock. Fifteen of
the twenty men for whom there are
stars in the church's service flag
were present to answer the welcome
home roll call. and they were given
a hearty welcome by the older men
0f the parish and their friends.
Following a splendid dinner pre-
pared by the women of the church,
which the One-time doughbOys pro-
nounced far better than anything
they had received at any camp, +. r.
Russell president of the club, open
ed the evenings speech making
with a short, but sincere welcome TO
the boys. He introduced William Z.
Knoelk, representing the war camp
community service in war produc
ton centers.
Mr.. Knoelk is secretary of the
executive board of the community
service and is representing the gov
eminent in the establishing and
furtherance of the community spirit.
He explained the original and devel-
opuent of the movement, saying
that it was inaugurated during the
stress of the war period as an aid
in crystalizing public sentiment and
patriotism in the prosecution OF the
var. With the signing of the arms
Il r. T. - HA
ganization was shifted more par

War Not Yet Won.
A forceful, convincing speaker,
Mr.. KnOelk presented his thoughts
in a manner which held the atten-
ton Of his audience Referring to
his work in the reconstruction per-
Tod through which the country is
now passing, he said: 1T is harder
to get the people to express in a
concrete way their appreciation to
the boys as they return for what
they have done, than it was to
arouse their enthus asm as they
sent them away to fight our bat
ties.
1T took nearly a year and a half
to bring the whole country to re-
alize that the war was not thou
Iands of miles away. to get the
people on their toes on the propo-
sition of prosecuting the war. But
IS soon as the armistice was signed
an immediate slump was noticed.
We who were engaged in this COM

CRUDE MINING METHODS

Mica mining in the Nellore district India, though a highly profitable in- dustry, is carried on practically as it was by the natives hufdred years ago. The mica vein is followed up by underhand stoping, which results in the production of tortuous, worm- like holes sometimes extending to a depth of 300 feet below the surface The mica excavated is brought to the surface by a string of coolies work ing hand over hand on rudely con structed bamboo ladders. On account of the accumulation of water during the night when work ceases all sink ing operations are delayed each morn ing for an hour or more while the water is being dipped out with buckets by coolies.

commingling of deep green and blue, which are shot with flashes of crim- son. The irridescence is remarkable. The red fire flares through the emer- aid and sapphire tones in a play of constantly changing and vibrant in candescence which makes the gem seem alive.
 The group of experts who were ad- mitted to view the opal in Secretary Lanes office spent half hour in ex- amining it and expressed amazement at its beauty and brilliancy. Dr. Nor Till, curator of the National museum, who is an authority on precious stones, said it was the most nearly flawless opal he had ever seen. The gem was photographed for the Ma tional Geographical society.
 The nearest approach in size to this record breaking opal is the famous Viennese opal discovered in Hungary in 177O, which is not flawless and is only two-thirds the size of the Ameri- can stone. The Viennese gem weighs 1893 Troy ounces and measures thirteen cubic inches to the mass. Its value is fixed at $300,0OO. It has never changed hands at that price, but successive offers of $125,OOO and $175, 1000 have been refused for it.

Giant Opal Heu Secret During War
 Attracts Famous Experts at Cab;ta1

A giant American opal, said to be the largest gem the rough ever dis covered in the world, recently was placed on exhibition in the offices of Secretary Franklyn K. Lane, of the Interior Department in Washington.
 The mammoth stone is technically listed as a black opal. It was found two years ago in a new opal field in the northwestern part of the United States, which is said to rival in rich ness the famous Lightning Ridge dis trict in Australia. Its discovery was kept secret because it was feared that the gorgeous gem might tempt an in- vestment of money during. war times which might have been employed more profitably in patriotic channels.
 The opal weighs 1895 Troy ounces, according to the assayer of the treas ury department and it's bulk is twen- ty-one cubic inches. The value placed on it is $250,000. Only limited num- Der of diamonds have been worth more. With the explosion of the myth that the opal is unlucky and with the output of the Australian fields setting new standards for opals in price and beauty, it is believed the great opal, when thrown upon the market, will be quickly snapped up by some connoisseur among Ameri- can millionaires.
 The basic colors of the stone are

RESTRICT TUBERCULOSIS STOCK
New Regulation Expected to BE e.
fective in Campaign.

Washington, June 23-The regula-
ton prohibiting, after July l. 1919, tie

properly tuberculin tested, will prove
to be long step toward the control of
tuberculosis and it's eventual eradica-

Of agriculture. 1t supplements and
strengthens state regulations on this
subject.
The object of the regulation is spe-
officially to prevent the interstate
shipment of diseased animals to cattle
breeders or dairymen who are trying
to drive out or keep tuberculosis from
their herds. Cattle consigned to a
public stockyard. and steers and
strictly range cattle may be moved in
terstate without restriction under the
new regulation.
The regulation Of interstate move
ment of cattle follows the same prin-
ciple used successfully in the control
Of other animal diseases. and has been
recommended to the department Of
agriculture by many cattle owners as
an essential part Of the campaign
against tuberculosis, which is now get
ting we'll underway, and in which the
federal government and AZ states are
cooperating.
Cattle known to be tubercular may
