SPANIARDS WILL
GIVE ATTENTION
SANITARY NEED
MADRID, June 21 (by Associated
Press).—Spaniards are awakening
to the necessity of improved hygienic
measures to decrease the mortality
of this country- Several of the lead
*
ing newspapers have joined in a de
mand that a ministry of health be
organized to give proper attention to
^ sanitary conditions in factories and
houses, to reduce accidents to work
ers and to have charge of the erec
tion of cheap houses for the poor, old
age pensions, health insurance, ma
ternity allowances, prevention of epi
lemics and hygienic instruction for the
people.
One newspaper quotes Dr. Juarros
as having asserted that smallpox,
diphtheria and tuberculosis had in
creased enormously; that births had
decreased and the death rate among
infants grown to such an extent that
these deaths now comprise 20 per
cent of the national mortality. An
infinitesimal number of houses boast
of a bath, he said, public baths were
entirely lacking and the houses of
the poor were so badly constructed
that the occupants did not have as
many conveniences as were afforded
by the prison.
The institute of Civil Engineers has
1 taken up the subject and is agitating
for hygienic- measures to reduce the
death rate.

LONDON, June 21 (by Associat
ed Press).—The Bank of England is
to be rebuilt. The governors and
court of directors of The institution
for the past 25 years have considered,
the advisability of replacing the black,
one-story “Old Lady of Theadneedle
Street” with a more modern and com
modious structure. The inadequacy
of the venerable pile to meet the
present-day needs has necessitated
the establishment, since the beginning
of the war, of six outside branch of
fices in various parts of London to
house the bank’s growing army of
clerks and newly created depart
ments.
Established in 1691, the Bank of
England is the oldest national bank
in Europe. Millions of people
throughout the world know the out
side of the low, black building which
for more than two centuries has been
the empire’s financial center. Its cen
tral part was erected m 1732-4 but
the outer part, which one sees from
adjacent streets, dates from 1788.
The present building spreads over
4 acres of what is perhaps the most
valuable real estate in the world, in
k the heart of London’s world training
center. At least once, in December,
1825, it saved the country from
bankruptcy. During the Lord George
Gordon riots of June 1780 it withstood
a two-days attack by a mob which
was driven off by soldiers stationed
outside and clerks and bank officials
guard, who mounted the walls.
Since that date the bank has been
guarded every night by a detachment
of thirty-six soldiers who, command
ed by an officer, march down from
London Tower and take up their
positions on the walls at sundown.
A number of windows, which broke
the blank solidarity of the bank’s
outer walls, were closed with huge
blocks of granite after the rioting,
but their outline is traced by the re
maining sills.
Best coffee in town served at the
City Bakery.
NOTICE
Water will be shut off
the main on First street
at 1 a. m. tonight to make
repairs on the main. Will
be turned on again at 5

CHARLEY ROGERS LOOKS
LIKE MORMON ELDER AT
EMPRESS PERFORMANCE
“Mother, is that a Mormon elder
up there in that pew?” inquired a
little boy during the performance
Sunday evening of the thrilling melo
drama, “A Parisian Tigress.”
“No dear,” replied the mother,
“don’t you see he doesn’t have long
whiskers? That’s Mr. Charles
Rogers giving a box party to some
young ladies.”
And to be sure, there was Friend
Charles, the urbane, the sweetly
.smiling, sweetly chatting, enthroned
aloft amid a bevy of fair ones—Miss
Ellen Fraisure, Mrs. Layton Smith,
Mrs. Walter Smith, Miss Helen Gil
lespie, Miss Francoise Erussard and
Miss Elizabeth O’Loughlen,
Just then A. J. McConnell steamed
in. and stared in indignation and
alarm at seeing his title of Esteemed
Leading Equire of Dames being wrest
ed from him- He turned abruptly
and made for the street. A few min
utes later he entered the opposite
box, with Mesdames Ragsdale, John
son, Reed, Schultz and Wain. Thus
did Mac the Monumental even scores
with Charles the Chivalrous.
Presently the McConnell party were
aware of sounds suggesting that
someone had a government contract
to get out aeroplane spruce and was
working overtime to fill it. It was
George Dooley, peacefully slumbering
in the next box!. Evidently the snarl
ing and spitting of the most lawless
Parisian Tigress, or of any of her ilk
(we believe that is the word) held
thrills for one who had been for years
a member of the Chicago police force.

SLUMP IN PRICE I
DOES NOT STOP |
HELENA, Mont., June 21 (by Asso
ciated Press).—While reports from
some sections, notably the Philipsburg
mining district, tell of the curtail
ment of mining operations because
of the drop in the price of silver, the
rush to develop and work silver prop
erties in Montana has not ceased.
Where the cost of tarnsportation is
normal, it pays to mine silver and
will continue to pay, mining men say,
while the metal remains above 90
Much of the silver contains lead
in goodly quantities and not a little
of it also has copper in sufficient
quantity to help appreciably. Gold
also is found with silver.
