Colored Canvas Now the Proper Caper

THOSE who use heavy canvas COW
! ers to protect their crops, machin-
cry and materials against the weather
can almost double the life of the fab
ric if they treat it to afford protection
against light as well as moisture and
mildew, the Department of Agriculture
declares In a recent circular.
After a series Of experiments with
canvas in which waterproofng mix
lures were made with the addition of
earth pigments, such as are used In
paints, the experimenters arrived at
the conclusion that keeping out the
light from the inner fibers affords con-
siderable protection to the fabric.
Since several pigments are suitable,
there Is more or less freedom of
choice as to color, the statement con-
tinues, For a buff or khaki color, yell
low ochre can be used. For darker
buff or light brown, raw sienna is
good; for dark red or reddish brown,
burnt sienna; for, olive brown, raw UNI
Der, and for dark brown, burnt umber
is added to the mixture.

insisting that as they were wooed en-
tirely through the mails the depart
ment is directly responsible.
A typical excerpt from one of the
many letters reads:
II want to know if can start suit

through correspondent club adver-
tised, in the newspapers, and he sent
me. money by post Office money order
to come and marry him. He also
courted me by mail. After the we'd
ding he failed to support and take care
of me- and finally left me altogether.
want to know if l can do anything
through the Post Office department, as
our business, such as arranging for
the marriage details, was transacted
entirely by mail"
OF course a censorship of letters by
the Post Office department would be
q blow at the bulwarks of our liberty.
Imagine cynical post office official
reading our letters to our best girls!
And yet-just think how many fool

eminent, but for the other allies, and
that the United Stetes, in making the
original arrangements, had insisted, in
substance, that, though the other al
lies were to use the money borrowed,
it was only on British security the
United States was prepared to lend 1t.
'In answer to these inquiries" Mr..
Mellon stated, at should be said the
obligations of foreign governments IN
question had their origin almost en-
tirely in purchases made in the Unit
ed States, and the advances made by
the United States government were
for the purpose of covering payments
for these purchases by the allies.
1.-THE statement that the Unitedi
States government virtually insisted
on a guarantee by the British govern-i
ment of amounts advanced to the other
allies is evidently based on misap-
prehension Instead of insisting on
guarantee or any transaction of that
nature the United States government
took the position that 1t would make
advances to each government to coverN
the purchases made by that govern-l
ment and would not require any COWS
eminent to give obligations for ad-
vances made to cover the purchase of
any other government. Thus, the adj
vancec to the British government, evil
denced by it's obligations, were made
to cover it's own purchases"

ALLIES NOT IN
ACCORD ON WAR
France and Italy Break With
Great Britain on Turko-
Greek War.

PariS-The French cabinet unani
mously approved what is character
lied as the pacific policy of Pre-
mier Poincare in the Near East and
the withdrawal of all the French
troops from Asia Minor to the French
side of the Straits of the Dardanelles.
The cabinet went firmly on record
as being opposed to any form of mill
tary action as a means of settlement
in the Turko-Greek situation.
The order for the withdrawal Of the
French troops from Chanok in the
Dardanelles area was sent by Premier
Poincare and carried out Immediately.
In Great Britain there is no dimin-
ution of the excitement which the gov.
ernment's declaration of a policy of
force awakened and the matter is a
subject of hot discussion
The defense put forward by the gov
ernment's advocates is that, far from
seeking war, it is doing it's utmost to
prevent one, and that to this end it
is necessary to impress Mustapha
Kemal Pasha with the fact that Great
DIlIdIu Will uOI allow ulIu W uudTCu Ou
Constantinople, enter Europe, overrun
Thrace and set the Balkans ablaze.
Meanwhile the activities of Mus
tapha Renal Pasha, are shrouded in
mystery A Constantinople dispatch
reports his cavalry patrols reached
but did not cross the boundary of the
neutral zone and there is report
that he is moving or preparing to move
his army northward
The British preparations for this
contingency are foreshadowed by the
governments declaration to continue,
and orders have been issued to GER
tain forces to prepare for active serv-
ice, officers and men on leave being
summoned to quarters. The outcome
of Foreign Secretary Curzon's discus
sions in Paris are eagerly awaited.
The Messaggero asserts that Italy
has decided to recall to Constantine
pie the small Italian contingent which
was sent with the British troops to
the neutral zone.

MINERS DEATH WAS PAINLESS
az Men Fall Peacefully Asleep, is
Claim of Experts.

Jackson, Cal.-Not one of the At
miners remained alive after the first
hours of the fire which broke out in
the Argonaut shaft at midnight on
Aug 81. They were driven from pass
age to passage by the deadly fumes
of gas and finally made last stand
on the 4,350-foot level of the mine be-
hind two make-shift bulkheads. And
there, they gasped their last breath.
The men were alive but dying at 8
o'clock on the morning of Aug. %. BY
4 O'Clock they were in the embrace of
death, huddled bodies lying still.
This is established by two notes,
one from William Fessel, miner and
chemist, and a father.
Fesseps note was burned deep into
the wood on the bulkheads which the
men had frantically constructed He
scared the wood with this message:
SO a. m. Gas very bad. We are go
ing to leave you John Fessel"
A second note, a pencilled scrawl,
was picked up on the wet floor of the
drift. 1t read:
SO O'Clock. Too much gas
Below was a rudely scrawled figure
a. 1t appeared as If the writer had
endeayored to write message at 4
O'Clock, but the gas had already over
powered the men and they were fall
ing into the sleep which was to be
their last.

HARDING VEToEs THE BONUS
Measure Menace to Nations Credit;
Cites Lack of Tax Plan.

Washington - President Harding
vetoed the soldiers bonus bill. In a
written message he informed Congress
that, while he was in accord with "the
avowed purpose" of the measure, he
did not subscribe to it's provisions.
1t appeared to be certain that the
veto would be sustained by the Sem
ate.
Mr.. Harding set forth a number of
reasons. These included:
Failure of Congress to provide a
means of financing.
That inevitably the bonus would
mean increased taxation.
That to add one-sixth of the total
sum of the public debt for distribution
among less than 100000 of 10000
600 people would undermine conf
dence on which the nations credit
was buifded
That the $4,000, 100000 of maturing
public debt in the next six years would
be difficult to meet.
That the bonus would not diminish
the later obligation in the way of pen
sions to the World war veterans.
And asserting that this obligation
would ''cost more billions than ven
ture to suggest"

WASHINGTON.-Funding of the
