HISTORY TOLD IN MoSAICS
Beautiful Examples Of Early Art TO
Be Found in the Ruined Temples
Of Egypt

One of the earliest attempts az ar
tistlc expression was through the me-
dunn of the mosaic. Ruins of that H.
centlous city of the East, Nineveh,
contain examples of the art. Mosa-
les are found frequently in the ru-
med temples of Egypt.
1t was I'm Greece that the art was
arst used TO any great extent. All
through the rocky little peninsula
may be found the beauty OF the Hell
enic temperament expressed in mH-
sale. The erectheum, in Athens. cCfi-
;tructed about the fifth century r.
., contains many exquisite spcci-
mems worked In both glass and mar
bic.

vclopment however, until the power

New Use for Asbestos.

A new and important use for a.
bestos has been found. Its wide udop-
ton depends on the finding Of new
sources of the material. One OF the
latest suggestions, which has been car
ried out on an appreciable scale in
the United States. is the construction
and permanent casting molds for the
production of the lighter kinds Of
metal castings. In making these
molds, the ground asbestos Is mixed
with a suitable binder and pressed
into a form or flask over a master pat
ern. and is then slowed slowly up to a
temperature of 800 degrees #. This
preliminary drying removes the bulk
of the moisture. and establishes the
binder. The pattern is then removed,
and the form heated up again to a
temperature several hundred degrees
in excess of the temperature to which
the form will be usually exposed.
After this treatment the forms or
molds are ready for use, and. 1t IS
said. may be employed indefinitely !;
AT any rate, as many as 100 castings
have been made from one of these
permanent moldS.

RESUME HEARINGS
ON PHONE RATES

The hearing of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone rate case was re-
sumed yesterday, and is being con-
tinued today before the Public
Service Commission, with Harry c.
Gretz, chief accountant of the COM
pony on the stand. He was ques-
toned at length by Peoples Counsel
Goldsmith with reference TO the ex-
hibits. and in the afternoon Osborne
l. Yellott, representing the, Chamber
of Commerce, cross-examined the wit
ness relative TO the maintenance and
construction charges. This examina-
ton was wholly technical
Peoples Counsel Goldsmith opened
the case for the opposition by re-
questing the explanation of various
phases of the company's financial
statements and introducing a chart
setting forth what he had deduced
from the applicants statements TO be
the proper percentages of revenue
and expenses, figured on a monthly
basis, for comparison between fhe
years 1915, 1916, 1917, 1913. This was
later admitted to be on an incorrect
basis and not fair means of bring
Ing out the point.
1t is expected some time will be
consumed in dealing with the COM
pany's financial exhibit before taking
up the matter of individual com

The first drastic action in the con-

and high naval officers may come
within the nxet few days, it is re-

This controversy was started by
Admiral Sims condemnation of Dan

war. The latest development, in
which Sims has had no part, came
in the form of letter by Rear Adj
miral Decker, severely arraigning

Decker is commandant of the sew

was attached to the American en-
Classy in Spain. His letter was writ

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
Proceedings Instituted to Enjoin
Secretary of State From lssu-
ing Proclamation.
nv Associated Press TO Every Evening

ASGpSi3ftd
Washington, July z. = Proceedings
asking that Bainbridge Colby, Secretary
of State. be enjoined from issuing any proc
lamation declaring the suffrage amend
ment being ratified was instituted before
the Supreme Court today by Charles ,.
FairchIld of New York, president OF the
American Constitutional League.
Mr.. Fairchild also seeks 10 prevent
Attorney General Palmer from enforcing
the amendment. Justice Bailey issued an
order for Secretary Colby and the At
torney General TO show cause July l3 who
the motion should not be granted.
The basis of the proceedings IS the
claim that the ratification of the amend
ment by the West Virginia legislature
WAS illegal because accomplished by fraud
and that the proposed ratification by the
Tennessee legislature would be illegal on
the ground that the Legislature lacked
authority under the States constitution
TO act on the measure.
Only thirty-fve states have ratified the
amendment and as ratification by one
other is necessary the action in the courts
at this time came as a surpr1se IN suffrage
circles here, An attack on the legality of
the action of the Tennessee Legislature
had been expected but not until the
legislaturs actually had actod.
In anticipation of such move by the
anti-suffrage forces the organizations sup
porting the amendment have urged early
action by more than sc states so that the
amendment could become operative IN
time TO permit the women TO vote IN the
presidential election this year.

SAN FRANcIsco, CAL. July :


The Democratic National Convention
adjourned sine die, yesterday afternoon,
after nominating Franklin ID. Roosevelt
of New York, assistant Secretary OF the
NAVY. for Vioe-Presidentf He was the
choice Of New York. the choice of Govern
or Cox. il is said and certainly the choice
of the convention. The selection was
made quickly, on one ballot, and the re
suit WAS received with applause that
denoted satisfaction.
While the strength that comes from
the Roosevelt prestige is recognized, there
are some who believe that more strength,
as we'll as geographical symmetry, would
have been gained by the selection of n
candidate from the West. But the con-
vention extended its favor 20 Roosevelt
and that closed the incident,
The session WAS short and comparatively
uneventful II WAS featured by the recsp-
ton of a telegram from Governor Cox
extending thanks to the convention for the
great honor he now enjoys, and that
evoked a demonstration, but brief one
entirely devoid of the spectacular.
