Vice-presidents from the various counties through which the highway passes were nominated and unani­ mously elected. Fred A. Stone of Griggsville, 111., was dhosen as vice- president of the association and Harry -A. Scheider of Hannibal, Mo., was named secretary-treasurer. One of the interesting features of the meeting came in the form of a suggestion from the members that a relay automobile race be run on the route from New York city to the Pan­ ama-Pacific exposition in California. While the matter was discussed at length no definite action was taken. The association will be ready within a short time to advertise for bids aiid let a contract for the marking of the route through Illinois with red and white bands to be painted on the poles along the route. Each county will be required to see that the poles are marked with the official marker of the association. The following were nominated and unanimously elected vice-presidents from the counties: C.

The art of nursing in Illinois, where It is recognized by state authorities at least, has been reduced to a standard­ ized science. This is one of the points of important information contained in the first annual report made to Gov. Edward F. Dunne by the state board of nurse examiners. Members of the new board point with prl<le to a list of 713 nurses who, in the year 1914, received certificates. Not so much does the board feel grati­ fied at the number as It .does the standard of efficiency which every one of these certificates represented. Each one of the 713 nurses has run the gauntlet of accredited requirements, and every applicant has shown a bill of health which in former days might have been regarded as almost prohibi­ tory. Not only the ordinary subjects are embraced in tests which are given to applicants, but <a special study has been introduced, that of nervous and mental diseases. The report shows that at the close of the year, 1914, the official register of nurses in Illinois contained in all a list of 4,164 names. The total number of schools for nurses in this state, as shown in the report, is 105. These schools turn out approxi­ mately 600 graduates every twelve months. The examiners' board Is endeavor­ ing to accumulate the most exhaus- itve compilation of valuable data in the history of any state board having to do with nurses. &iss Anna L. Titt- man, the secretary, is engaged now ia obtaining information from every county in the state. New 8tate Incorporations.

Roe* State Board Issues Report. The board of arbitration for the state of Illinois held its meeting for the month of March In Springfield. The annual report for the year 1914, which was submitted to the goVernor, contains not only the. matter handled by this board during the year, but deals with all the important strikes which occurred in Illinois during that time, also a digest of the various laws on the statute books of the different states relative to the arbitration of in­ dustrial disputes. Extracts from the by-lawB and con­ stitutions of various local, national and international organizations are embodied in this report, and it shows that modern methods are provided for the settlement of disputes of this nar ture. The report contains some sound logic and points out that mediation, conciliation and arbitration is daily growing more in public favor as s means for maintaining peace in the industrial world. The report emphasises the fact that the experience gained in unwise and ill-advised strikes will have a ten dency to promote more careful consid­ eration of the questions involved, as time goes on wisdom will improve the manner of handling disturbances and thus lessen their occurrence. The experience of the board justifies the statement that many of the agree­ ments in force throughout the state were formed after long and costly struggles between employers and em­ ployees, also that when a settlement was finally arrived at, in some cases one side or the other accepted new conditions less favorable to It than cosld have been secured without bit­ terness or expense. From these conclusions It would seem that the usefulness of this board will increase greatly as its work be­ comes better known and understood by both employers and' employees, to the extent that they will seek ItB co­ operation and advice in making new agreements before the expiration of the old ones, or at least before much valuable time and business has been sacrificed in strife that is unpleasant, unprofitable and undesirable, not only to those who are directly concerned but also the public, which suffers Indi­ rectly. As a means of bringing this about more quickly, the board has thought it advisable to have frequent interviews with employers and employees and par­ ticularly those In Chicago, which is the chief center of most or the labor con­ troversies in the state, in the absence of uuu fOl pul of bringing the board in closer touch with the two industrial classes, so as to pave the way for more efficient services when differences may arise. The board consists of three mem­ bers and secretary. Leo J. Winieckl of Chicago is chairman and Charles D. Preble, Chicago, secretary. The other members are Harry M. Powell, Peoria, and Lewis McGovern, Freeport. 8tate Out of Auto Tags. Inability of the state to furnish auto­ mobile license tags immediately be­ cause of a breakdown in the factory manufacturing the tags caused Sec retary of State Louis G. Stevenson to announce that the state would make no prosecutions for failure to carry li­ cense tags until after May 1.

CREW OF U-8 FACES DEATH Teutons Imprisoned and May Be Treated as Pirates and Executed If Pound Guilty of Attacka on Ships-- U-2 Shelled by French Warship. London, March 8.--The extent to which Great Britain has been waging its campaign against German subma- lnes operating in the English chan­ nel and the North sea against mer­ chant shipping was demonstrated by the confession made on Friday by offi­ cers of the submarine U-8, sunk by British destroyers in the channel, who landed at Dover. "No less than ten submarines havs been sent down in the channel since the German blockade went into ef­ fect," was their declaration. If this is true the British admiralty has not yet learned of the destruction of all the undersea craft, as sc far only four have been reported sunk, the fourth on Thursday. The sinking of the U-8 was offi­ cially announced by the admiralty, along with statement that examina­ tion of the steamer Thordls' keel con­ firms her captain's evidence that he rammed and sank a submarine on February 28 after the Germafi^<%red a torpedo at the British vessel. The U-9, reported wrecked off Chris- tiansand. Norway, was the third sub­ marine destroyed, while Captain Wy- att of the steamer Alston reported to the admiralty that his vessel had rammed and sunk a fourth In the channel last Saturday. It was asserted at the admiralty that exclusive of the above named submarines five have been destroyed since the war began. A Paris dispatch quotes the minis­ try of marine as making the follow­ ing announcement: "One of the flotilla attached to the second light French squadron Thurs­ day shelled a German submarine of the type U-2 in the English channel. Three shells hit the submarine, which plunged and disappeared without leaving a trace." The internment of the crew of the U-8 brings to a crisis the demand In parliament, and also by French dep­ uties, that such prisoners be treated as pirates and executed if found guilty of attacks on merchant shipping. The news that a British warship had sunk a submarine was received with re­ joicing in England.

GIVES WILSON POWER PRESIDENT CAN NOW DEFEND U. S. NEUTRALITY Resolution WodTflid at White House Conference Before Both Houaee Pyt It Through, Washington, March 5.--Before its adjournment on Thursday congress placed a solemn responsibility upon the shoulders of the president In con­ nection with the European situation. Under cover of penalizing violations of neutrality, it adopted a resolution conferring authority upon the chief executive to use the land and naval forces of the nation to assist and de­ fend our neutrality. The resolution as adopted by the senate was not as sweeping as that adopted by the house. It had been modified as a result of a White House conference. Senators pointed out to the presi­ dent that a provision in the resolution adopted by the house providing for the internment of foreign ships in American harbors .found guilty of an attempt to violate our neu­ trality laws would arouse Germany and Austria-Hungary. In the interest of continued friendly relations with those two states, they, urged that the provision be eliminated. This was done. After the senate had adopted the modified resolution the 'house took similar action. The resolution as modified by the White House conference was passed by the senate without debate. As it was presented to the president for ap­ proval he will be authorized: 1. To withhold clearance from any vessel, American or foreign, which he has reasonable cause to believe to be about to carry fuel, arms, ammuni­ tion, men or supplies to any warship or tender or supply ship of a belliger­ ent nation in violation of neutrality of the United States. 2. To use the land or naval forces to carry out the purpose of the reso­ lution. PICKED FOR CENSUS BUREAU Wlleon 8elects S. L.

Cordoba, Spain, March 8.--A ter­ rific explosion in the copper mines of Cabeza del Buey, 86 miles south­ east of Badajoz, entombed 1.600 miners. So severe was the shock that three persons were killed and many injured on the surface. It is feared that hundreds will be found dead in the workings of the mine before relief can reach them. BOTH ORATORS AND WRITERS English Newspaper Comments on Dual Quantise of Thoss Who Have Been Called Great. An enticing subject for discussion Is the writer as orator. It is, of course, undeniable that the mental processes belonging to to two orders of expression are wholly different, but, says a correspondent of the Man­ chester Guardian, I should challenge very strongly the contention that the good writer is seldom a good speaker. Putting aside Burke, Gladstone, Bright and others who cannot prop­ erly be put into classes, I submit that the number of modern writers who have been fine speakers is very large. Canning and Disraeli could write and «P«ak equally well. Macaulay, al­ though, as you remark, he memorized his speeches, was among the great parliamentary orators of the reform era. The memorizing, by the way, was not hlB fault. He could not help knowing word for word everything that he prepared, and he accomplished the extraordinary feat of writing out for publication in his last years, when he was too ill for original work, the orations which he had spoken ten or twenty years earlier. Coleridge, his admirers thought, was a marvelous speaker. Dickens was almost without a rival after din­ ner. Public speaking was a torment to Ruskin as to Garlyle, but those who heard him never forgot the experi­ ence. Matthew Arnold was a poor speaker. Thackeray on the platform was pitiful. But let me suggest a few other examples. Lord Rosebery is an orator and an accomplished au­ thor. Mr. Balfour, when he likes, can write like an angel, and there are few more deadly debaters. Lord Morley will live as a writer, but he has made great speeches. Lord Curzon writes exactly as he speaks, and with about equal facility and force. In their entirely different ways Lord Haldane and Mr. Birrell enjoy the dual faculty. They consider Mr. Chesterton and Bernard Shaw, h. cer­ tain respects the greatest master of public speech as of written English alive today. And not to, extend the list, there is W. B. Yeats, in whom are combined poetic genius, a fine command of prose and a gift of speech which at its best is perfect. Uncle Sam's Name. Like many other popular customs, the general acceptance of the name "Uncle Sam" is traceable to a small in­ cident. The occurrence Is just 100 years old, and is associated with Troy, N. Y., where, after the war of 1812, Elbert Anderson, an army contractor, purchased a quantity of provisions. One of the official provision inspectors was Samuel Wilson, who, because of his popularity, was generally referred to as "Uncle Sam Wilson." The boxes of provisions were stamped E. A. U. S., the first two bfe- ing the initials of Elbert Anderson and the last two the usual abbrevia­ tion for United States. When one of the men engaged in the work of trans­ ferring the boxes was asked one day what the letters stood for, he replied, jokingly, that they stood for Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam, meaning Wilson. The remark "caught on," and after being communicated from point to point in army circles spread over the country. Room for Two. WJien a talk about the German in­ vasion of England was going on, a militiaman, stationed in Carrlckfergus, was heard to remark that immediately the enemy landed In England he would certainly, bolt, taking a good stock of provisions, and hide in a convenient cave he knew of. The colonel, hearing of his unpatri­ otic resolve, called him out next day on parade, and lectured him severely on his cowardice. "You're a disgrace to the regiment and the Service-at-large," he cried. "Fancy you threatening to run away; but I'd be after you in quick time, my man, never fear." "Sure, an' you'd be welcome, your honor; but, bring yer own praties an' things, won't yer, colonel?"--London Tit-Bits.

Tin Rapidly Disappearing. WllL rCe--J'to V.:z future.urc of tin, it may be said that we are dealing with the one metal whose known ore reserves are entirely inadequate to even the present demands and that un­ less some new source of supply is de­ veloped very soon we may expect to find that tin is a very scarce metal indeed Of the present sources of tin ore supply, says the Engineering Maga­ zine, most are either stationa--' or re­ ceding in output, Bolivia being the only one which gives promise of perma­ nency and of future growth. Under these conditions the question of suh stitute metals becomes of importance, and aluminum, zinc and steel all have some possibility In this direction in one way or another. CARTER* ITTLE PILLS.
