of Last Visit to Prisoner.
London. The British foreign office
made public Saturday the report of
Rev. H. S. T. Gahan, the British chap
lain in Brussels, who visited Miss
Edith Cavell Just before her execu
tion, and a letter, from Brand Whit-
lock, the American minister to Bel
gium to Walter Hines Page, the Amer
ican ambassador in London. In his
letter, Mr. Whitlock says he requested
that the body of Miss Cavell be deliv
ered to the School for Nurses, of
-which she was the directress, his re
quest being referred to the ministry
of war in Berlin. Rev. Mr. Gahan in
his report says:
"On Monday evening, October 11, I
was admitted by a special passport
from the German authorities to the
prison of St. Gilles, where Miss Cavell
had been confined for 10 weeks. The
final sentence had been given early
that afternoon.

signed, but this could not lessen the
tenderness and intensity of feeling on
either part during that last interview
of almost an hour.
"She said that she wished all her
friends to know that she willingly
gave her life for her country and said
" 'I have no fear nor shrinking. I
have seen death so often that it is not
strange or fearful to me.'
"She further said: 'I thank God for
this ten weeks of quiet before the
end. My life has always been hurried
and full of difficulties; this time the
rest has been a great mercy. They
have all been very kind to me here,
" 'But this I would say, standing as
I do in view of God and eternity: I
realize that patriotism is not enough,
I have no hatred or bitterness towards
anyone.'

with her at the end and afterward
gave her a Christian burial. He told

New York. Arlington, Va talked
by wireless telephone with Paris,
France, Saturday. Honolulu also
heard the operator talking from Ar
lington.
Announcement that the human voice
had been successfully projected across
the Atlantic was made on behalf of
John J. Carty. chief engineer of the
American Telephone & Telegraph
company, at the company's offices
here. Later Mr. Carty telephoned
from Chicago, confirming the announcement.
To B. B. Webb, a telephone engineer
fell the honor of being the first man
to span with his voice the space be
tween the old world and the new. Sit
ting in the powerful wireless plant of
the navy at Arlington, Va., Mr. Webb,
shortly after midnight, asked tne wire
less telegraph operator to signal Eif
fel tower in Paris.
The wireless snapped out the signal
and soon there came back a response.
Awaitlne word from Mr. Webb at
the Paris end of the wireless radiation
were H. E. Shreeve and A. M. Curtis,
other engineers, and a group of
French officers, listening with espe
cially designed apparatus.
In Honolulu, 4800 miles from Arling
ton. Mr. Espenchied. another tele
phone engineer at the Pearl HarDor
navy yard, also was waiting.
Webb, at Arlington, had a transmit
ting instrument, but no receiving ap
paratus. He knew, therefore, that he
would have to wait for the cable to
confirm the success or failure of the
experiments.
"Hello! Shreeve," he shouted into
the mouthpiece. "Hello! Shreeve."
He then began to count: "One, two,
three, four; one, two, three, four.
Goodbye."
When the expected message came
it was addressed to the company here,
and said that Webb's "Helios" and
"Goodbyes" had been distinctly heard
by the engineers and French army of
ficers in Paris, and that portions or.
his test figures had also been picked
up. At about the same time there
came a message from Honolulu, say
ing that Webb's talk had been under
stood in full by the receiving engineer
there, and that even the voice nan
been recognized as Webb's.
Northwest Manufactures and Land
Products Show Is Scoring Success
Portland. The Second Annual Man
ufacturers' & Land Products Show
opened Monday, October 25, and the
great industrial and land exhibition
will be in progress until midnight, No
vember 13.
This is the greatest exposition of
the kind the Northwest has ever seen
and twenty-three Oregon counties
have attractive displays of fruits,
grains, grasses and vegetables. The
agricultural and horticultural display
is equal to the Lewis & Clarke Fair,
of 1905.
More than 200 exhibitors have part
in the big exposition and 75,000 square
feet of space is occupied by displays
of Oregon manufacturers and jobbers
and retailers from over the country.
The exposition was open to Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and the Northwest

a third for the round trip and sale
dates have already been announced.
While the exposition is in progress
many cities, towns and communities
will have special days at the show.

SOME BETTSR WAYS OF DOINQ
KITCHEN WORK.
How To Da Away With Lumps in
Making Cocoa To Keep Rica and
Macaroni From Bacomlng
Mushy.
BRICK ROADS ARE EASILY MAINTAINED
Instead of mixing cocoa with boiling
water to dissolve it before putting it
Into the cocoa pot, try mixing the dry
cocoa with an equal amount of granu
lated sugar and then pouring it Into
the boiling water in the pot, stirring
all the while. This does away with
the lumps that usually have to be
fussed over, and also a mussy cup.
The kettle should be given frequent
baths, else lime and other salts will
settle on the bottom, which may then
be dissolved oft Into the boiling water,
making It "hard."
To heat water very quickly set a
broad, flat saucepan over the fire and
caver to keep in steam.
A small zinc-covered board, about
the size of a rolling board for pas
try, Is invaluable for setting hot
dishes, pots, etc., upon. This preserves
the kitchen table top, and leaves room
on the stove for other things.
To prevent a roast from becoming
fat soaked, set It upon a rack in the
roasting pan. But keep the surface
of the roasting pan covered with fat
to prevent It from burning. Fat la
better used here than water, as water
utterly changes the character of the

served by removing first all gristle,
bones and skin and excess fat and
then cutting Into thin strips or slivers.

Mr. Daniels said that the govern

he said, were also being manufactured
by the government at a great saving of
money.
"It has been ascertained by a special
commission that the navy," he contin

Vitrified brick roads, according to
the road specialists of the department
of agriculture, possess three distinct
advantages. First, they are durable
under all traffic conditions; second,
they afford easy traction and mod
erately good foothold for horses; and
third, they are easy to maintain and
keep clean. On the other hand, they
are unquestionably expensive to con
struct and the effort to reduce the
high first cost frequently results in
inferior construction and consequent
defects.
The 1 cost of a brick pavement de
pends so much upon so many variable
factors such as the locality, freight
rates and the distance from brick
kiln that It is not possible to make
any definite estimates. The cost of
the rough grading, however, should
be considered entirely apart from the
cost of the pavement, for the grading
would have to be done no matter what
kind of a road was to be built. Ex
cluding this Item, the bulletin already
mentioned (No. 24C) furnishes the fol
lowing formula as a rough guide tor
the probable expense of a brick road
with a six-Inch concrete foundation
and suitable grades: Cost per square
yard equals 1.90-L, plus .213-C, plus
.138-3, plus ,157-A, plus .040-B.
In this fomula C equals cost of
cement per barrel, S equals cost of
and per cubic yard, A equals cost of
coarse aggregate per cubic yard, B
equals cost of paving brick per 1,000,
and L equals cost of labor per hour.
Thus, it labor costs 25 cents an hour,
the labor cost per square yard of
pavement will be 1.90 times 25 cents
or 47.50 cents. The cost of the cement
per square yard will be .213 times the
price of a barrel and so on with the
other items. It is assumed in this
formula that all materials are deliv
ered on the work. About 10 per cent
should be allowed for wear on tools
and machinery, and for every inch sub
tracted or added to the thickness of
the foundation there will be a corre-

"Strength in wheat is due entirely
to American advance and heavy con

of big American crops and strong

unexpected prices and it is feared that
this advance will continue, or at least
as long as Continental buyers follow

Farm Life,
considers that the ability of pavement
to resist wear depends unon the
smoothness of the pavement and a
firm foundation. If the foundation is
poor one of the bricks may be easily
forced down, causing unevenness in
the surface. Where the traffic is com
paratively light and the subgrade
composed of material that does not
readily absorb water, broken stone
may make a satisfactory base. For
heavier traffic or where the material
composing the subgrade is at all un
stable a concrete base is necessary.
The stone base should be constructed
much as in the case ot first-class
macadam roads. Concrete bases may
be constructed of concrete composed
ot 1 part Portland cement, 8 parts ot
sand and from 6 to 7 parts of broken
stone or screened gravel. Above the
concrete base a sand cushion to cor
rect slight irregularities and to secure
an even surface for the brick is most
desirable. This cushion is usually
two inches thick, though in some
cases It may be only lMi. It is impor
tant to have the sand clean and dry.
After the brick has been laid upon
this cushion and the pavement gone
over carefully to remedy all defects
and remove all imperfect material, it
should be rolled with a heavy power
roller, gone over carefully once more,
and the joints then filled with some
material to prevent the brick edges
from chipping. Of the various mate
rials used for this purpose a grout
made ot equal portions ot Portland ce
ment and sand mixed with water is
recommended. Sand alone is some
times used because of its cheapness,
but it Is open to several objections
and Its use in the end is probably not
economical. Portland cement grout,

Paving bricks should be uniform In
size, reasonably perfect In shape,
tough in order to resist crushing, hard
in ordor to resist abrasion, and uni
formly graded In order that the pave
ment may wear evenly.
A more Importunt test la known as
the rattler or abrasion test. In thlB
the bricks are subjected to destructive
Influences similar to those encoun
tered In actual servlco, and the effects
resemble those which traffic may be
expected to produce upon the com
pleted pavement. Briefly the test con
sists or liicloHlng 10 dried bricks in a
steel barrel In which there are also
placed a number of cast-Iron spheres,
Ten of these sphores weigh each 74
pounds. Enough smaller ones weigh
ing a little lens than a pound are
added to make the total weight ap
proximately 300 pounds. The barrel
is then revolved at the rate of 30 revo
lutions a minute for an hour. At the
end of that time the bricks are taken
out and weighed, and their loss In
weight ascertained. In this test good
paving brick will lose from la to 24
per cent of its weight.
Equally Important with the char
acter of the brick is the character of
the roadbed on which It Is to be laid.
The four essentials for the roadbed
are thorough drainage, firmness, uni
formity In grade and cross section,
and adequate shoulders. Where the
first can be obtained In no other way
It may bo necessary to lift the road
considerably above the surrounding
land. Firmness Is secured, if the road
has been properly drained, by making
certain that the roadbed Is thoroughly
compact. The subgrade must be re
peatedly rolled and reshaped until the
desired grade is secured.
Strong, desirable curbing Is neces
sary tor all brick pavements in order
to prevent the marginal brick from be
coming displaced, which event would
result in deterioration, finally spread
ing over the entire pavement
One of tho most essential factors of
a brick pavement Is a firm foundation
imon which to lay tho brick. The im
portance of this is evident when
which there should be two. At the
end of the second application the
grout should completely fill the Joints
flush with the tops ot the Joints. The
final step 1b to cover the completed
pavements with a one-Inch layer ot
fine earth. This Is done to protect the
pavement from the weather and to
keep It in a moist condition while the
grout Is hardening.
The objection frequently made to
the grout-filled brick pavement that
it is extremely noisy may be over
come by the proper use of longitudinal
expansion cushions placed alongside
the curb. These expansion cushions
are bituminous layers from one
half to one and one-quarter Inches
thick, varying with the width of the
pavement.
In addition to the description of the
various problems the new bulletin
contains In an appendix complete typi
cal specifications for the construction
of a brick road.
TEST FOR WHITE DIARRHEA
Chicks Too Smidl for Market, of Slow

Well Be Killed Off.
It you have chicks now coming on
old enough to be on the market, and
yet too small tor such purpose, runts
ot slow growth and slow feathering,
you might Just as well kill them
oft and not hope they will yet take
a start, for no doubt but they are
carrying the germs of baclllary white
diarrhea. Not all by any means that

looseness.
Flocks suspected ot having mem
bers In it infected with this disease
are now being tested for it by the
Connecticut agricultural college. The
testing Is done by a little blood being
drawn from a vein in one wing of
each fowl. This blood Is mixed with
a serum to be put by for a tew days.
The mixture Is labeled, and the fowl
ta given same label. In a few days
the eye, without need ot a micro
scope, tells whether this serum and
