This is supposed to be one of the
most practical methods of rebluing a
gun barrel without heat The barrel
is first thoroughly cleaned. Then
nitric acid, one part, diluted with 10
parts of water is applied until blue
film is produced on the surface. The
gun barrel is then washed with warm
water, dried and wiped with linseed
oil.

Snakes cannot sting, but they
bite. Possibly one reason why people
speak about the sting of snake is
because formerly there was some con-
fusion on the point. Shakespeare
makes this error many times-as, for
instance, in the familiar line, What,
wouldst thou have a serpent sting
thee twice?" Strictly speaking, it
should be "bite thee twice."

J. p. Morgan Admits 1t
Is Considered

New York, May 1O.-J. P. Morgan
admitted that together with his
banking associates he was making
a careful study of problems relat-
ing to the German loan, but de-
clined to discuss prospects for its
early flotatiOn.
Receiving Wall Street newspa
permen in the offices of the Nor

ter a two months vacation in Eu-
rope, Mr. Morgan reiterated his
policy of maintaining a discreet 81
lence until plans for floating the
loan reached more tangible form.
MANY governmental phases
have to be settled before the bank
ers can act" asserted the financier.
Meanwhile we shall determine
what to do if the government does
Or does not do certain things"
The return of Mr.. Morgan to
Wall Street revived the interest of
the financial district in the loan
and lent color to reports that
Americas portion. expected to be
about half of a 5000, 100000 total,
would be placed on the market be
fore midsummer.

New Agreement Is Reached
by House Conference on

Until 1926

Washington, May 1O.--(By the A..
PD-The Japanese exclusion pIcvi-
sion in the immigration bill will be-
come effective July /, 1924, under n
new agreement reached today by
House and Senate conferees.
The compromise reached today is
substantially that reported as the
first agreement of the conference
which was rccOnsidered in Difference
to the wishes Of President Coolidge.
New action by the conference was
made necessary when the House yes
terday refused to approve March |,
1925, as the effective date.
By vote of 19l to III, the house
declined late yesterday to appI owe
the Japanese exclusion provision of
the immigration bill, inserted by
house and senate conferees at the
request of President Coolidge.
The measure was sent back to
conference with the house managers
instructed to insist on elimination
of the provision, which would post
pone the effective date of exclus ion
to March l, 1925, and would request
the president to negotiate with ia
pan for abrogation of the gentle
mems agreement"
This action threw open the eff
fective date, as the house conferecs
were gwen no instructions to put vi
a fight for the original house provi-
sion to, enforce the ban July l. The
senate voted to make exclusion eff.
fective upon enactment of the bill
but the conferees, after agreeing ia
accept the house date, decided tt
recommend postponement for an ad
| ditional eight months.
Returned to Conference
They did so in Difference to tht
| wishes of President Coolidge VIII,
| suggested March |, 1926, as "A date
| which would afford time for diplo
| matte negotiations, the manager

MARBLE WORK
BEING PUT IN
NEW BUILDING
Memorial Building on Capitol
Grounds to be Finished
In Two Months

Marble work in the new Liberty
Memorial building on the state cap
itol grounds probably will not be
completed for two months. Most of
the other work on this building has
been finished, including the placing
of steel bookstacks. -s
The first floor corridor of the
memorial building will be especially
beautiful when the marble work is
finished, it is believed. Napoleon
grey marble, obtained from Missouri,
is being used for the Dashboard in
the corridors on all floors and also
for the stairs. The first floor cor
ridor walls will be of Italian Trav-
ertine marble, brownish in color, the
marble reaching to height of 10
feet eight inches from the floor.
The corridor ceiling is ID feet in
height.
The two vestibules of the building
are of Mankato marble, obtained
from Minnesota. The floors are of
Terrazzo.
The building is not being finished
as elaborately as was originally
planned, because of , lack of suffi-
cient appropriation, and the marble
work was curtailed considerable.
However, about three carloads of
marble is required for the building.
The marble work is being done by
the Drake Marble and Tile Company
of St. Paul, in charge of c. A. Bear
den,
