FRUITS OF HIGH TARIFF.

Congressman Ralph W. Moss says that the private manufacturers of armlates have shown a marked abenthusiasm over the proposal wat the United States shall begin the manufacture of its own armor plate.

that the or Mates of

The fact is the armor trust has even now a tremendous lobby at Washington bent on attempting to stifle the plan.

All this was to be expected. But the discussion has brought out one fact that merits consideration quite apart from the merits of the main proposition.

The president of one of the three ^to*t)anies which make government, armor plate said to the committee that if congress decided on government manufacture he would at once recommend to his directors that steps be taken for the amortization of the $7,00,000 investment in their plant. Now it is learned at Washington that this threat has been translated into a definite plan for scrapping the plant.

This is extraordinary frankness. Obviously, the only way tho manufacturers of plate can quickly amortize their investments is by charging the government a greatly increased price for plate. In other words, the government -V is given to understand that the penalty it must endure for the privilege of making some of its own armor at a future date is the payment meanwhile

of prices which no theory of cost price could justify. Not often has the government been offered a mere openly defiant proposition. In effect, congress is given the alternative of paying an unjust price for plate during the period it is preparing to begin manufacture itself, or of sacrificing something of naval preparedness.

Is this a result of the long years of tariff nursing? A pampered child,..is first to turn against its parents. Something of the same parental penalty appears to attach to the practice of protecting an infant industry over long.

The long-serving and useful" "swiat the fly" slogan will be changed to "trap the fly" as soon as a campaign, started by the state' boardof health gets under way, in "Health News," a bulletin published periodically by the board of health, most improved methods of fly trapping are given in detail, with diagrams and pictures of fly traps. "Swat the fly" is a good battle cry. Every household should be amply provided with fly swatters and the enemy should be given no quarter, but when flies are numerous and the weather is hot, fly swatting constitutes a timeconsuming and exhausting exercise, c.ften without producing very material results.

Therefore, we must resort to strategy and trap the fly. With a properly contrived trap at a strategic .point, more flies can be trapped in a minute than can be swatted in «a day by even an expert and agile swatter."

The fly is so great an enemy to mankind as the carrier of disease, says the bulletin, and his habits are so filthy that no means of combatting him during the coming season should be neglected. The board of health does not approve of fly paper, the simplest form

You see, I have already overdrawn my allowance, and it is quite impossible even to pawn my jewels without Mr. Burton finding il out, and suspecting all sorts of things. No— there is no way ouL, unless you can help me!" "You 'say the letters were stolen from your private desk?" asked Mona thoughtfully. "That fact, at least, should give u«s a base from which to work. Who, besides yourself, had access to the desk—and who knew the letters were there?" "No one!" said Mrs. Burton promptly. "But that !a impossible," remonstrated the irl. "The thief must have known. And e must find the thief if we are to help you! Rave you a maid?" "Of course—but Mimi is quite above suspicion, I assure you. I would vouch for her devotion." "Can we talk to her?" asked Mona.

In answer' Mrs. Burton pressed a concealed call button at her side. It was quite obvious that she thought her visitors were wasting valuable time. A moment later the doori opened to admit a young, dark-eyed' girl, with unmistakable Parisian features and. mannerisms, who stood silently surveying them as Mrs. Burton explained that her visitors wished to ask her a few questions.

Mona flung a half dozen searching queries to the demure maid, who met them all without so much as a change of color. In the end, Mona was forced to abandon the amateur inquisition, and giving a signal to Mary, arose reluctantly as Mrs. Burton dismissed the servants. "I am afraid you are right about Mimi," said Mona, as she stood, surveying the room uncertainly. "She is either absolutely loyal and honest or one of the most consummate actresses

As they passed through the hall, Mona caught a glimpse of Mimi's face watching them wonderingly. In the lower hall, Mona uttered a sudden ex"clamation, and started back to the stairs. ."I have forgotten my purse," she said hurriedly. "I can get it, Mrs. Burton —thanks.

At the door of the boudoir, Mona hesitated a moment, and then stepped suddenly into the room. Mimi was rising from the* telephone.

Mona flashed her a quick glance, and saw that the girl was flushing uncomfortably. "To whtm were you phoning?" she asked abruptly.

POSTAL CONVENTION HELD HERE IN 1917

Terre Haute Workers Also Honored by Being Elected to Office at Mnncie Meeting.

MUNCIE, Ind., July 5— Elections of officers anfi selections of meeting places for 1917 were the most important business matters transacted yesterday by the National Association of Letter Carriers of Indiana, the United National Rural Letter Carriers' association in joint convention here. The results were as follows:

National Association of Letter Carriers of Indiana President, Ira Dearth, Muncie vice president, Charles Melborn, Connersville treasurer, Jas. A. McMatt, Indianapolis secretary, W. G. StfLhl, Fort Wayne members of executive committee, E. W. Watkins, Terre Haute Earl E. Kohler, Gary, and Charles L. Boll, Evansville.

up her purse. "Nothing1—perhaps!" she said, and walked down the stairs thoughtfully. In the lower hall, she faced Mrs. Burton decidedly. "That maid of yours knows more about this affair than she has told us!" she said. "With your permission. 1 would like to question h^r again." "I am certain you are mistaken," said Mrs. Burton dubiously, "but if you are to help me, I suppose you must have your own way."

Again Mimi was summoned, and again she faced Mona's swiftly varied questions—this time meeting her interrogator with more assurance, as though realizing that .she had her mistress' confidence to support her. In the end, Mona was obliged, as before, to own herself defeated. With a shrug she watched the girl leave the room. "If I have wronged her, I am sorry," she said simply. "But I am more confident than ever that she holds the key to the disappearance of your betters, and that we must make her tell us the truth!" "Oh, I hope you are wrong!" cried Mrs. Burton. Mona flashed a swift glance. The other's defence of her maid, in spite of her own trouble, spoke much for her generosity. "You will hear from us very soon— perhaps In the course of an hour," promised Mona, as the two girls prepared to take their leave. "I am not sure yet just how we can help you, or whether you have done wisely in coming to us instead of to a licensed detective agency. But if it's possible* for us to aid you, be sure that we will do it!"

Mary turned to her friend impulsively when the two were alone. "What did you mean by your promise to let her hear from us in an hour or so?" "Because we are going back again, said Mona quickly. "First, I have some purchases to make for the benefit of our friend, Mimi."

She instructed the driver to stop at a drug store, and a few minutes later she returned to the machine with a packet of a peculiar black powder, which she exhibited triumphantly. "It may not work," she said, "but I mean to try it at any rate."

Mirs. Burton met them with a glance in which hope and bewilderment mingled. "Have you found anything?" she asked. "I hope to—shortly," said Mona. "Have you an old envelope' with your address?" she asked.

Mrs. Burton's bewilderment deepened, as she went to her desk. "Here is an envelope, if it is what you want."

Mona looked at it, and smiled. "It will do admirably." Carrying the envelope to the light, she dusted it with a portion of the black powder she had purchased. Mary gave a little cry as the impressions of four fingers and a thumb showed vaguely on the white paper.

HOROSCOPE.

-The fetarw But l)o nut

Thursday, July 6, 1916.

Astrologers read this as a very unfortunate day. Mars ana Mercury are in a place strongly evil, while Jupiter and Neptune are adverse. Saturn is in benefic aspect.

The rule indicates a sinister power for the planet that when adversei is believed to lead to accidents. Explosives, steel weapons and whatever may produce scalds and burns are likely to cause suffering. Journeys are supposed to be most unfortunate under this planetary government.

There is foreboding of contests on land and sea. Indeed, all the signs seem to indicate that naval perils menace American ships in the Pacific as well as the Atlantic ocean. These may be due to storms or to an enemy.

The configuration is especially threatening for those who have disputes or contests of opinion. Hasty decisions and ill-advised policies are supposed to be precipitated by the stars when posited as they are today.

It is not an auspicious date for making contracts or agreements. Do not sign leases or enter into new partnerships.

Financial transactions come under a most unlucky direction today. Again there is a warning against foreign loans.

Harry Isler Sent to JriI After Being Branded Thief. Henry Isler, 32 years old, an alleged v/est end character, was arraigned in City Court Tuesday morning on the charge of highway robbery. Isler was arrested early Tuesday morning following the complaint of William Chestnut, 904 North First street, that he had been attacked and robbed ing North Second street. The robber obtained a pocketbook containing $5.65.

Chestnut later identified Isler as the man who robbed him. The case was continued until Friday afternoon.
