MISS PRECIOUS metal
IN SEARCH FOR GOLD
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, May 11.--All that glitters
is not gold, but lack Of glitter is not
a certain test for worthlessness it was
found by gold diggers along a river in
Europe recently. While engaged in
their search for the yellow metal, the
men encountered bluish-gray. flakish
substance, which they cast aside as
worthless. Two weeks ago, two and
one half pounds of this substance was
bought in this city by an American
firm for approximately $4,000 or eight
| times the value of the same amount
of gold.
1t was osmiridium, a member of the
platinum group of metals, one of the
hardest metals known and used for
the tipping of fountain pens and for
delicate bearings of fine machinery,
that the prospectors cast aside.
The men were digging in a river
bed at Papua, British New Guinea, and
| in their eagerness to discover gold
disresarded the osmiridium which is
worth 6 40 an ounce
| When the prospectors returned to
| their settlement at night they re-
marked about the strange substance
turned up. A mining engineer told
them of their error and they hurried
| back to discover that the arrival of
, tropical rains had washed away most
of the precious stuff.
by careful work, they raked to-
| gether what was left, had it refined
and sent to London. The metal was

ARMY OF 10000
PROVIDED IN BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE army
appropriation bill carrying approx
mately $32o,OoO,OO0 and providing for
an army of 10000 enlisted men was
passed late Tuesday by the house and
sent to- the senate. The vote was 243
to %. O. ---.r. g, &c.,.
Before the final vote was taken un-
successful attempts were made to
have the house reverse its previous &C
ton in adopting an amendment pro-
viding for a reduction in the size of
the army, which now totals about
100000 men, to 100000. and for the
discharge from service under reason
able" war department regulations, OF
men making application.
An effort by Representative Her
rick, Republican, new member from
Oklahoma, to attach a rider declaring
the war at an end and directing the
secretary of war to withdraw Ameri-
can troops from the Rhine was quick
ly checked by Representative Mon
dell, the Republican leader, who made
point of order against it.
Weeks Plan Rejected
When the bill was being considered
paragraph by paragraph, an amend
IN emit offered ~~ by Representative
Byrnes, Democrat, South Carolina, to
reduce the force from $4,000, the
number recommended by Secretary
Weeks, to 100000 was adopted. Priv
LEGGED to call for second vote, Chair
man Anthony of the subcommittee, in
charge of the bill, did so today, but
the amendment was retained, 1873 to
159
Representative Mondell spoke in op
position to the Byrnes amendment
contending that it would be impos
sible for months to cut the army to
10000. To keep within the appropri
alton during the twelve months period
beginning July l. he said. it would be
necessary toward the last of the year
TO reduce the army to 100000.
Democrats Support Byrnes
Representative Garrett, of Tennes
see, acting Democrat leader, led the
fight for retention of the Byrnes pro
posal, and on the vote had almost
solid Democrat support and that OF
many Republicans.
Efforts on second roll call to
knock out an amendment previously
adopted to permit enlisted men to be
discharged on application, failed 1873
to 1863.
AS introduced the bill carried ap.
proximately 332,000.000 but substitu
ton of a maintenance allowance for
10000 instead of 10000 mem de,
creased the total about $12,000,000
AS passed at the last session the bill
which was pocket vetoed by President
Wilson, provided for force of 1856
900 and carried a total of $343 900 900.

KILL GRUB; GET FLY

kill the grub and you will not have
to swat the MARBLE fy,' says Thomas
NJ. Olson, instructor IN dairy husband
ry at State college.
This is the time Of the year for the
grub of the MARBLE fly to make its way
through the skin Of cattle. The grub
falls to teh ground or in the manure
where it stays until it has passed
through the grub stage, and comes
forth as a mature fly to follow its de
structive career.
"Warbles do considerable damage
to the hide, and are a nuisance to the
animals upon which they live. The
numerous holes which the grubs make
in coming out through the hide rem
ders it unfit for leather.
"The grub should be pinched out
and killed. A bottle with the proper
size neck and opening can be used for
forcing the grubs out. Do not Kill and
leave the grubs under the skin. A
community can rid itself OF MARBLES
il 1t will destroy all grubs."

Sarr0S bowed Gravely.
"You understand your orders, Ser
geant?"
"Yes, General"
"very well. Proceed. II this pris-
oner fires before you give the word,

The sergeant backed away and gazed
owlishly from the prisoner to his cap

vers came up. Fire." he shouted,
and the two shots were discharged ST.
simultaneously. Ricardo's cap flew off
his head, but he remained standing,
while SarrOs staggered back against
the wall and there recovering himself
gamely, fired again. He scored a clean
miss, and Ricardo's gun barked three
times; Sarros sprawled on his face,
rose to his knees, raised his pistol
halfway, fired into the sky and slid
forward on his face. Ricardo stood be-
side the body until the sergeant ap-
preached and stood to attention, his
attitude saying:
ut is over. What next, GENERALLY"
Take the squad back to the arsenal,
Sergeant" Ricardo ordered him coolly,
and walked back to recover his uni
form cap. He was smiling as he ran
his finger through a gaping hole In the
upper half OF the crown.
"Well. Mrs. jerks" he announced
when he rejoined the old lady, shat

He extended his hand to help Moth
err jerks to her feet. She stood erect
and felt again that queer swelling Of
the heart, the old feeling Of suffoca-
tion.
"Steady, !ass!" she mumbled. "'Old
on to me, sir. It's my bally haneurism.
Gor'-Tm-chokin'-"
He caught her IN his arms as she
lurched toward him. Her face was
purple, and In her eyes there was q
queer fierce light that went out sud-
denly, leaving them dull and glazed.
When she commenced to sag In his
arms, he eased her gently to the ground
and laid her on her back In the grass.
1.-The nipper's safe, Emery" he heard
her murmur. 1--WE raised 'er q lydy,
s'elp me-she's back where-you found
'er-'Enery-'
She Quivered, and the light came
creeping back into her eyes before 1t
faded forever. "Comin', 'Enery-dar-
lin'," she whispered; and then the soul
Of Mother jerks, who had a code and
lived up to It (Which is more than the
majority Of US do), had departed upon
the ultimate journey. Ricardo gazed
down on the hard old mouth, softened
now by q little half-smile Of mingled
yearning and gladness: "What a won
derful soul you had" he murmured,
and kissed her.
In the end she slept In the niche In
the wall Of the Cathedral de la Vera
Cruz, beside her sainted Emery.
