The Ne,c agreement
The new agreement arrived az viii
henccfo,tI be known as the Hague
Rules, 1921 They will be introduced
into all bills Of lading after January
81 next. The British Banking Associa-
ton, being q party to the new regula-
tons, has undertaken 70 regard them
as binding from that date. Meanwhile
it is hoped that the whole Of the in
tcrnational banking community will
follow the same course, and that the
new rules will become of universal ap-
plication. French translation for
this purpose is in preparation. and. both
English and French copies will be dis
trbuted among the commercial, under
writing and banking associations in all
maritime countries.
The main point, which had been the
stumbling block during over forty
years OF ardent controversy-n
the ship owners liaiblity-hHs now
been finally settled. The solution unan-
imously adopted in the new rules is
that the liability shall henceforth be
fixed at sum not exceeding 800 (or
the equivalent in other curcencies) s.
packet or unit.
Sir Norman Hill and Mr.. McCronechy
were able to congratulate one another
on peace which, it s to be hoped, will
be more satisfactory to all concerned
than some other efforts by less bust
ness-like men.
The new Hague Rules, 1921" are TO
be officially described as defining the
risks TO be assumed by sea carriers
under bill Of lading." They consist
of seven articles, in which, among other
things, it is laid down that after re-
ceiving the goods into his charge the
carrier, or the master or agent Of the
carrier. shall, on the demand Of The
shipper, Issue a bin of lading showing
particulars which are specified, but
that no carrier, master or agent Of the
carrier shall DO bound TO issue bill
of lading showing description, marks
number, quantity or weight which he
has reasonable ground for suspecting
do not accurately represent the goods
actually received.
Neither tho carrier nor the ship
shall DE liable for loss or damage aris-
ing or resulting from unseaworthiness
unless caused by want of due diligence
on the part of the carrier to make the
ship seaworthy and TO secure that the
ship is properly manned. equipped and
supplied. Neither the carrier nor the
ship shall be resonsible for loss or
damage arising or resulting t.om fal

with the department and efforts are be-

be of some use. Those which are be-
yond repair will be torn down and re-
placed with new structures.
Permanent types of bridges have been

Report of Highway Board
Shows High Cost of
Maintenance.
WORK IS ONLY BEGUN

More than S4,OOO.0OO was spent BIZ the
State highway commission during the
year ending Sept. 80. 1921, in maintain
ing the roads Of Indiana. This is 3d.
100000 more than was spent during the
year 1920, John Williams. auditor Of the
commission said today. The total spent
for all purposes was $s.166,121.94
The large increase, Mt Williams said,
is due to the fact that labor and mate
rials were somewhat lower and that a
portion OF the bills which were contracted
by the previous administration Of the
commission were not paid until this
year.
Construction amounted to more than
S3,439,OOO This is 100000 more than
was spent during the present year by

 After the winter storms the divers expect to find the wreckage covered with gravel and silt which has to be cleared away with pumps. Then the steel plates and girders must be cut away.
 The Racer is now equipped, in addi- tion to every possible contrivance for aiding divers, with "recompression chamber" A diver can reach the bottom in half minute but after prolonged immersion at 20 fathoms below the surface, half an hour has to be allowed for raising him be- cause if brought up too quickly he is likely to collapse. The great press ure at 20 fathoms saturates the system with nitrogen gas but in the recompression chamber the nitrogen can be eliminated gradually.

MANY PLANES
 WILL ENTER IN
 AERIAL RACES

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, May A (by ] Associated Press) )--All types of heavier-than-air aerial craft, from the light speedster machines to the freight carrying plane, will be seen in action here September 8, g, and 10, when the international air races are to be held.
 Four races have been arranged, chief of which will be the free-for-all classic for the Pulitzer trophy. The first event will be for the freight carrying planes capable of 75 miles or more an hour. The course will be triangular, starting at Sel- fridge field, and swinging around at the Aviation Country Club, west of Pontiac, the Packard Flying field, Detroit and back to Selfridge field. The contestants will cover the course four times, a total distance of 264 miles, and the three with the best Selapsed time, start to finish, will di- vide $2,500. First prize will be ST. 800; second $75O and third, $25O.
 The second event, also to be held September 8, will be for light con- mercial planes of the two seated type It will be flown over the same course as the freight plane event, point system, which will take into but the result will be determined on account speed in taking off and land ing. Entrants must have a speed of so miles or better an hour. The prizes total $2,5OO.
 Over the same course the third event for light passenger planes of at least 90 miles an hour will be raced September 9. The point system of scoring will determine the division of $2,5O0 in prize money in this event. For the Pulitzer trophy, final event on the program, September 10, a smaller course has been mapped out. ! It will be four times around a tri- angular course totaling 160 miles. The points of the trangle will be at Sel, fridge field, Troy, Mich, and Packard 1 field Detroit.
 A minimum speed of 40 miles an hour is expected of the light one-man machines that will enter the aerial classic. The shortest elapsed time for the four laps will determine the winner

THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCI-
PIES OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

This composition was awarded first
prize at Field Day Exercises and
Literary Entertainment at Kiln, Han
cock County, February 11th:
"There is not one person under
the United States Government who
does not believe that government by
the people is the best kind of govern
ment for the people. Of all the
countries in the world, the United
States has the widest and deepest
enthusiasm for its own institutions.
Democrats and Republicans criticise
each others acts, but neither of them
would change the system in its fun
damental features.
AS the states are older than the
Federal Government, and as the lat
ter was, indeed, in many respects
modelled upon the form of govern
ment already existing in the original
states, let us begin with the states,
then proceed to the nationaI govern
ment. Furthermore the state is the
oldest political institution in America
and is still the basis and indestructi-
BILE unit of the American system.
The powers of a government are
inherent, not delegated, and each
state retains all such rights and func-
tions of an independent government,
as it has not by entering the Union,
affirmatively ,divested itself of these
rights, in favor of the Federal Gov
ernment. Each state frames its own
constitution. 1t is enacted by the
people without any Federal interfer-
ence. This document has all power
of control, and cannot be altered by
any or all of the ordinary organs of
government.
This constitution provides for a
legislature Of two elective houses; It's
executive consisting of a governor
and other officials; its judiciary
whose decisions are final, except IN
cases involving Federal law; its rules
of citizenship, which may admit per
sons to vote at state and national
elections, in which universal man
hood suffrage, subject to disqualified
tions, also women suffrage is the rule
of a great majority of states. There
are many more provisions too numer,
! Gus to name.
We have in our States the General
Assembly or Legislature. The name
varies in different states. This as
Bembly consists of a senate called the
upper house, and the house of repres
entatives or lower house. The mem
bers are chosen by popular vote. The
term of Office varying in differen
states.
This legislature, meets in almos
all the states once in two years, ses
sions lasting two or three months
