ANCIENT AND MODERN ROME
WorId-Famous Buildings Occupy Sacred Sites in the Old Capital
 of the World"

Ancient Rome was built on the hills south of the River Tiber. Tradition regarded the Palatine as the site of ROmulus' Urbs Quadrata. Excavations have brought to light remains of earlier settlement and a prehistoric metropolis. The capitOline was the center of republican and imperial Rome. One of the principal ancient monuments is Hadrian's mausoleum, which, as the castle of St. Angelo, was the citadel of medieval Rome. West of this stood Caligula's circus, in which Nero tortured the Christians; its site is now occupied by St. Peters, the chief shrine of Roman Catholicism, reputed to be the largest church in the world, occupying 18,000 square yards and measuring 435 feet in its highest part. North of St. Peters is the Vatican palace, which covers 1315 acres and comprises over 1000 halls, chapels and rooms. Tie pantheon. built by Agrip- pa in 27 B. c. and restored by Hadrian, is said to be the best preserved ancient building in the city.

PIatte RIver Coed over Ranks.

The flood gates of Bergen and Har- riman lakes above Denver were raised to allow the flood waters to escape down the Platte river, that the dams could take care of the extra water let loose by the breaking of the Beaver dam. This caused the river to over flow It's banks in Denver and a near panic ensued when the police sent out warning to people living along the low land next to the river. No loss of life was reported and all danger was soon over. The police of the city used ev. cry precaution to see that no one was allowed to cross any of the bridges which the raising water was threaten ing. The water in some instances run ming within two feet of the floors of the bridges.
 Nearly 100 families around Jerome Park and in the Valverde districts were compelled to seek higher ground. Two to four feet of water standing in the houses in that district.

"SUPER-POWER"

 IDEALS PRAISED. TALKS ON WORLD PEACE PRESIDENT DELIVERS ADDRESS AT UNIVERSITY ON WORLD
 PROBLEM.
twestern Newspaper Union News Service )

Washington, June 9.-President liar. | ding, delivering a commencement ad- dress at American University, found the subject of world peace occupying so prominent a place on the program that he was prompted to depart from his manuscript, and to declare for the preservation of peace by sovereign states without interference of a world 'superpower."
 The Presidents remarks followed an address by N. w. Rowell, K. C., of Toronto, who suggested that the best contribution North America could make to civilization was flor men on this side of the water" to stand to- gether behind the movement for peace full settlement of disputes.
 Another speaker who touched on the question of peace was J. J. Jus serand, the French ambassador, and the general discussion developed such a trend that Bishop J. W. Hamilton, presiding chancellor, referred to the gathering as a peace conference
 Before singing began, American, British and French flags were raised over the outdoor speakers stand
 T do not think could let this occa- sion pass" said the President, with out giving assent to many of the ap- prOpriate and appealing thirgs just uttered by pr. Rowell.
 "I liked his expression that Ameri- can and Canadian ideals are in com mon, and when he spoke about North American contribution to civilization and to the world, it occurred to me that the example of two great peoples living side by side in peace, in confi- dence and in mutual understanding, is about the finest contribution that two nations could give to the world.
 q have said that if all the nations were as honest and unselfiSh as our republic, there never would be another war. I will revise it and say that if all the, nations are as unselfish and devoted to their ideals as the United States and Canada, there never will be ouOlucI war.
 q call attention to the fact that the United States and Canada have settled their controversies without resort to a Super-power, but by the exercise of the sovereignty of free peoples dealing with one another.
 If we can commit civilized human ity to abiding righteousness and ever lasting justice and inspire them with our example we will have made a | long stride toward the peace the world | craves''
 With that Mir. Harding plunged into | his prepared address, in which he en- joined all graduates to dedicate them selves to restoring stability in a world | where almost nothing remains secure | from the attacks of iconoclasts.

 TELLS OF HORROR HOUSES ToPPLE OVER FILLED WITH WOMEN AND CHILDREN. Devastation Wrought by Fire and
 Water at Pueblo Beyond
 Description.
(wsstsrn Newspaper Union News Service. ]

Colorado Springs.-The devastation wrought by fire and flood at Pueblo is beyond description, according to c. S. Railsback, formerly of this city, now special agent of the Santa F6 at Pu- eblo.
 Mir. Railsback made his way to Colo rado Springs by special Santa F9 mo tor car in an effort to get into con- munication with La Junta over the Union Pacific wires to order special relief train to the scene of the disas- ter.
 Hundreds Of lives were lost and millions of dollars in property were de- stroyed," said Railsback. "The main business district of the city gutted by fire and water, and it probably never will be known how many hundreds of people perished.
 "The entire residence districts in several of the lowlands were complete ly wiped out. I spent the entire night, with hundreds of others, rescuing wom- en and little children from the flood, and my mind is so bsfuddled that I can hadly talk about the thing. It was horrible beyond description.
 q saw several frame rooming houses topple over, plunge into the raging tor rent, each filled with screaming wom- en and children. The scene was sick ening."
 MT. Railsback said at one time there was fifteen feet of water running through the Santa Fe yards. In fact, the yards were completely destroyed
 To add to the horror of the flood, fires broke out all over the city, not only in the business district, but in many residence sections.
 The largest business houses of the city, including the big banks, Crews Beggs, White & Davis, Straubs trunk factory, the King lumber yard and many others were wrecked by water or completely destroyed by fire, accord ing to Railsback.
 The river broke over it's banks near the state insane asylum, and soon there was raging torrent from the high cliffs to the west of the union depot to Seventh street.

LEXINGTON. KY, march 19.--
Diversification OF crops and cropping

The south, Dean Cooper said Is
more nearly organized under the
county agent system than any other
part OF tho country. A great deal
OF effective work has been carried
on, he said.
Speaking OF tho work being at
tempted In the south, Dean Cooper
said:
"The association OF southern agrl.
cultural workers was organized 81
years ago. Its membership compris.
es the leaders OF agricultural work In
the agricultural colleges, experiment
stations. extension divisions. com.
mercial concerns interested In agrl.

representatives OF the great trans

southern states.
The object OF the association has
been to unity and coordinate agri.
cultural effort particularly to bring
about greater coordinate agricultur-
al effort particularly to bring about
greater cooperation In the eSperf
mental and investigational work In
the experiment stations. Its result
is the conservation OF funds thereby
enlarging the opportunity for effec-
tive work and broadening the field
OF activity. Its studies. reports and
conferences embrace the field OF ami
NAL husbandry, crop development and
the various economic aspects OF H.
nance. marketing and tenancy ~ re-
lated to the farm p-oblems OF the
south.
THE county agent system carries
the information developed by the on
pertinent stations OF the agricultural
colleges and by the department OF
agriculture to the farmers OF the
state. The south has more nearly
organized the agricultural counties
for county agent work than any other
section OF the country. A great
amount OF effective county work had
been carried on through the county
demonstration agent before the pas
sage OF the Smith-Lever act In 1914
and Its continuance has resulted In a
great awakening.

ROADS CLAIM
LABOR COSTS
KEEP RATE Up

(Southern Pacific News Bureau)
SAN FRANCISCO. March 1s.--
The general public OF the Pacific
coast has been slow to form a def
mite opinion upon the controversy
between the railroads and their en-
ployes. now being aired before the
railway labor board at Chicago. The
people In the west have felt at first
that the dispute was OF no concern
- them, but now that the testimony
placed before the railway labor
board is being carried in press dis
patches, the public is better able to
see why the railroads wish to alb
rogate the wartime national agree
ments with all railroad employees, In
favor OF the former method by
which each individual road negotia-
ted with Its own men according to
local conditions. The statement
has been made that abolition of the
present agreements would mean a
saving OF ss00. 900. 1000 In labor
costs without reducing the wage per
hour. As a result the progress of
the controversy is being watched with
increasing interest.
A case cited before the labor
board rs illustrating the working
OF the rules established under. fed
erai control. shows that the rail-
road in one instance was compelled
TO award each man of q wrecking
crew 13. hours pay during which no
actual service was performed.
At regular and extra rate the men
received 37h hours pay for ser
vices all performed within - hours.
OF the "a hours for which they
received 37h hours pay the men
were off duty asleep for IL hours
and were riding and eating for two
hours while receiving pay.
Under a related rule as to wreck
ing crews, claims are constantly
made by men who do not actually
accompany the crews. but assert that
according to the rules they should
have done so. and therefore are en-
TITLED to pay.
In a great many instances II is
entirely unnecessary for all men,
bers Of the wrecking crews to go TO
wrecks, and the railroads contend
chat they should not be subject to
claims for wages for work not done
and from men not actually sent to
wrecking service.
Under present classifications rules
Of the shop crafts. such labor vast,
as illustrated In the following case
is reported by the railroad execu-
tiyes as OF constant occurrence:
In order to change a nozzle tip
in the front end OF a locomotive 1t |
is necessary:
To call a boilermaker and his
helper to open the door. because
That is boilermaker's work;
To call a pipe-man and his help
er TO remove the blower-pipe be-
cause that is pipe-mens' work: and
To call machinist and his help
er to remove the tip, because that
is the machinist's work.
The same three forces must be
employed to put in the new tip.
Before federal control a machinist's
helper or any handy man put in noz-
Gle tips alone.
II is by cutting out this duplica-
tion Of labor that the railroads ex-
pect to economic.
