LOUvAIN TO BE MODERN CITY
New Up-to-date Structures Replace
Those Razed by Germans
in 1914.

Louvain, Belgium.-FrOm the ~uins
of Louvain, to which the Germans APP
piled the torch on August %, 1914,
are springing dozens Of modern build
ingS.
They lack the historic interest of
the destroyed structures, but no city
in Belgium will be able to boast of a
more up-to-date appearance than Lou
vain when the work of reconstruction
is finished
The city presents to the stranger
an unusual appearance-maSseS or
ruins here, new five-story buildings
there, with the old, undestrOyed
buildings in sharp contrast.
No efforts have yet been made to
rebuild the famous library. The Bel
gian government, however, is grad
ualIy finding in Germany traces Of
many of the priceless manuscripts
and other books looted from the IL
brary by the Germans.

WANDERER is FOUND GUILTY
Wife and Ragged Stranger"
Fixed at IS Years.

Chicago, Oct 3O.-Carl Wanderer
was found guilty Of murder by jury
here. His punishment was fixed at %
years in the penitentiary. Wanderer
was convicted Of staying his wife and
unborn child and ragged stranger"
whom he used to stage a pretended
holdup to give an excuse for the ex-
change of shots that ended three lives.
The jury deliberated "a hours. Ten
men on the first ballot voted guilty,
two voted insane. There was no
change in succeeding ballots until the
two were won over and voted guilty
But 1t was a compromise verdict for
the jury recommended 20 years in the
penitentiary. Under the Illinois law
the judge in passing sentence is gov
erned by the jury's recommendations
Without jury recommendation for
clemency the verdict would have
meant death.

STRIKE WEAPON ADOPTED
BY THE FARMERS
Market Until Fair Price
Is, Obtained.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-If the embattled
gain their So price objective, milling
men said, adding that housewives need
only keep in mind the price they are
paying for flour 10 know how the fight
is going.
Evidence of this sympathetic ten
dency of flour price fluctuations was
given when wheat climbed about ten
points. The 81 barrel of flour prompt
ly sold for $11.25. And overnight it in
creased another Is cents.
Farmers never were in better posi-
ton to hold much of their grain than
they are this fall" said Truman W.
Brophy. Jr., secretary of the B. A.
Eckhart Milling company. "They have
had good prices for their product for
three years now and they have put
money away. Now they are able to
weather a strike period.
"And conditions favor them other
wise. There are only about "a, 100000
bushels of wheat at terminal markets,
uo against app oA1lIdlOlJ oo'0"o'OO"
bushels held last year. And about
half this amount is at seaport mar
kets
Chicago elevators are "toring 5OO.-
900 bushels Of wheat, as compared
with 100000 bushels last year. Grain
receipts have, for the most part, been
light. Millers in the country have
bought, lit is estimated. about 10000
600 bushels of wheat from Canada.
And there has been big export de-
mand for our wheat.
"This, of course, is all in favor OF
the striking farmer. If he holds out,
wheat will go up and -four will go with
it. If 81 is added to the price OF
wheat, -four will take on S. barrel.

Mounting a Print Without BuckIng

Mounting Print Without Buckling.
How many times have you pasted
down a paper or, mounted a print to
find that when it dried it had buckled
disappointingly? The Scientific Amer
lean gives the following instructions
as to how to avoid this difficulty:
Keep the mount fiat and with
small wad of cotton wetted in clean
water, slightly dampen the approx
mate area to be covered by the print.
Cover the back of the print with paste
preferably arabOl-smOOth and thin.
Apply the print to the mount. ana
with aid of a paper blotter and
small roller smooth the print from It's
center outward. No paste will appear
outside the limits Of the print; any
dampness exceeding these limits viii
evaporate. Any paper shreds left by
the blotter, ETC., may be wiped clean
from the prints surface with the same
damp wad of cotton.
