MARKS CENTER OF THE EARTH
Lofty Monument in Delhi, India,
Erected After a Meteorite Fell
Near the Spot.

The idea that the earth is not a fiat
disk, but globe, does not seem 10
have Caught on" in India, for they
still talk about a certain place being
the "cauter of the world"
In Delhi stands a lofty monument
that goes by name of Kutub Minor,
a structure towering high above the
temple of which it is a part.
The appearance Of this curious
piece of architecture is that Of
number of tiers of columns seemingly
tied together in bundles. At big In
tervals there are balconies.
The Kutub Minor is of special inter-
est and note in the world over which
the religion of the teacher Buddha
holds sway. Here, long ago, tradition
has it a meteOrte fell, sent by the
ruling powers in the mystic world be-
y0nd this life to mark the exact center
of the world.
In commemoration of this miracu-
lous eyentzthe Kutub Minor was erect
ed on the spot, that mankind might
never forget it.-London Answers.

DURABLE FINISH
FOR old FLOORS
varnish, Paint and Stain Help
Appearance and Make Them
Easier to Care For.
NEUTRAL COLOR IS FAVORED
Plane or sandpaper to Make Level and
Smooth as Possible, Carefully Re-
moving or Driving in Tacks
Nails and Screws.

PREPARED by the United States Department
Of Agrculture.)
"What can | do with these dngy
old floors? Until this year they've
been carpeted, but | know that the
house would be more sanitary and
easier to clean with finished floors and
rugs that could be taken out of doors
every week. I'd like to get the floors
fixed while the boys are home from
school to help, but don't know how
to start"
This problem is perplexing many
housekeepers who want their homes to
look well and at the same time to
make house cleaning easier.
Dull Neutral Color Is Best.
The most durable and attractive
finish for a floor depends on the kind
of wood and how it has been treated,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Unfinished pine, spruce,
or other softwood floors can be var
nished, stained and vanished, or
painted, depending somewhat on the
condition of the wood and the rest
of the woodwork in the house. What
ever finish is chosen, a duh neutral
color that tones In with walls and fur
nlshing Is best.
First of all, make the floor as level
and smooth as possible. Plane or
sandpaper rough places, and draw out
all remnants of tacks or drive them be-
low the surface with nail set
Then scrub the wood with hot soap
suds or securing powder, and rinse
thoroughly with clear water. Ink
stains and similar spots can often be
bleached out with a solution made by
dissolving one teaspoOnful of oXalic
acid in one cupful of hot water. This
solution is poisonous and must, of
course, be carefully handled, also all
traces of it and OF soap suds or scour-
ing powder must be removed with
clean water, otherwise they will in
jure the finish used on the floor.
Homemade Stain for Floors.
When the wood is perfectly dry the
stain, paint, or varnish can be APP
Piled.
For a pine floor, a good brown stain
can be made by disSolving an ounce
of permanganate of potash in a quart
Of warm water. This liquid is violet
coored, but when applied to wood,
chemical action results and the wood
Is stained brown.
Another brown stain for either hard
wood or softwood is made from IA
ounces Of pulverized gilsonite dissolved
In a quart of turpentine.
Apply either Of these stains with
clean brush or a sponge taking even

have the temperature Of the room 20
degrees Fahrenheit or higher, and
apply the varnlsh in the morning, be-
cause It dries better in the daylight.
Brush the varr4sh in thin coat with
even strokes parallei with the grain
of the wood. Allow the floor to dry
for al least two days and apply one or
perhaps two more coats in the same
way
Painted Floors Easy to Clean.
Good quality paint Of neutral color
also makes a good finish for softwood
floors. At least two coats should be
applied. After the last coat of paint is
dry, soft lustrous finish can be
given with equal parts of linseed oil
and turpentine. Rub this on with a
soft cloth, and polish the floor with
a wooden cloth.

Khan. and then Colonel Simmons him
self took the stand, He declared the
Khan is not anti Catholic, antl-Jew or
antl-negro; that 1t was not organized
for personal profit, and has no lawless
creed. and never has taken the law
into its own hands. In six years, he
asserted he has received only $4,000
from the organization. lie told the
committee he hoped it would make
the most thorough investigation Of the
Khan, and promised that If one one
thousandth part Of the charges against
1t were proved he would call the grand
council together for the purpose Of
dlsbanding the organization.
Colonel Simmons declared the at
tack on the Khan was started by a
Democratic paper Of New York, to in
crease its circulation, and as a polt-
ical scheme to put the proposition for
an investigation up to the Republican
congress- and that certain other met
ropoIitan papers had to fall into line
to save their circulation.

The American delegation selected

conference can 90 50 FAR as to at

that "if we can get reasonable limi-
tatlon we shall think that great things
have been accomplished" Continuing,
he says:
'By reasonable limitation I mean
something practicable that there is a
chance to accomplish, rather than an
ideal that there would be no chance to
realize. 1t is necessary TO deal with
ac'ualities; to do the best possible.
Universal disarmament would be be

Of the present state Of the world must,

this Is not hopeful time TO undertake
that kind of revolution. TO
undertake the impossible and fail
might leave our last state worse than
our first. The attitude of the nations
warrants confidence that we will not
fail, but rather that substantial re-
suits win be accomplished, calculated
10 lessen the armament burden and 10
