Springs & Shannon The Store That Carries The Stock. Geneva and the New Bridge. ' jk LL roads henceforth lead to 7m Geneva. / \ The Rome of the Caesara and of the Popefr, which held pre-eminence In this respect for many ages, now yields to Geneva, which, since John Calvin's time, has been call ed "the Protestant Rome," writes Irv ing R. Dacoft ln-the Detroit Free Press. Geneva Is to be the capital of the league of nations, which Is but another way of saying the capital of the world. Thus the peace conference at Paris has decided. In the fiddle of the nineteenth cen tury, 'when, under (lie quasl-dlctator ship of James Fazy, the radicals of the Swiss canton' Geneva spent money with almost reckless extravagance to develop and modernize the city, de la Rive, a conservative, exclaimed : "They want to make Geneva the smallest of1 the great cities; oh, that they Would only allow her to remain the greatest of the small cities!^' And now, seventy years after he j expressed this wish, It Is about to be ' vaHzedv for from now on It Is there | that the parliament of nations will hold its sessions and tUe roads from all | ends of earth will focus there. ; The census of 1011 fjave Geneva In I the neighborhood of 150,000 lnhabl I tants, divided almost evenly between i Protestants and Catholics. In point of languages the French preponderated nearly seven to one as compared with German. - On Beautiful Lake Leman. The city is the southweSternmost ! point of Switzerland." It Is on the pic turesque Lake Leman (called also Lake Geneva), and Is divided Into halves, the old nnd the new towns, by the River Rhone. The number seven flg :.ures geographically In CJeneva as It does In Rome. The latter city has seven hills; Geneva. Reven bridges. Geneva, however, is of but recent date compared with Rome. It was lit tle more~Th an a village of the Allo broges, a Gallic tribe, when Rome was mistress of the world. Julius Caesar took his stand there when he heard that the Helvetians (the Swiss of to day) had decided to emigrate from their own couptry, which they had come to consider as too cramping for their national growth. "They shall not pass," was Caesar's watchword. And two-thirds of the Helvetian people perished In a futile attempt to force their passage through the Roman provinces. It was the be ginning of the Gallic war, which lasted ; pine years and became the fulcrum by which Caesar raised himself to the po sition of dictator of virtually the whole j civilized world. Birthplace of Rousseau. Few cities hnve produced so many Illustrious sons or been the arena for the activity of so many great men as Geneva. Jean Jacques Rousseau was horn there. And It Is no small coin cidence that the city of his birth should have been chosen as the capital of -4 league of nations of a democratized world. For to no other one man does democracy owe a greater debt than to Rousseau. His pen was the flail which first set thrones a-totterlng. j Kingcraft began to decay beneath the | corroding assaults of reason which he J leveled at the "divine rights" upon | which royal prerogatives were based. Lord Byron's noble tribute to both Geneva and Rousseau constitutes al most the entire theme of the third canto of his magnificent "CMlde Harold." Th<i same great poet has also cele brated the misfortunes of another Gen evan In the well-known poem of "The Prisoner of Chlllon." Ohlllon Is a castle on top of a crag which rises perpendicularly nearly 1, 000 feet above Lake I/eman. Here, early In the fifteenth century, Francois de Bonnlvard, prior of St. Victor, was Imprisoned. Wh?r* Calvin Ruled. ' In 1532 William Favell, a Protes tant preacher from Danphlne, who had Jttst won Vaud, a Swiss canton, to Protestantism, made his appearance at Geneva. His success was so consider able that he established his home there and. In the following year, Geneva en tered Into closer religions relations with the Rwls* dty of Berne, which bad embraced Protestantism. Frlbouff, {which remained lojal to Its old filth, withdrew from the alliance with Geneva. On August 10, 1535, Geneva formally adopted Protestanism. A year Inter, John Calvin, a refuge? from Franco, stopped at Geneva, In* tending to remain there only one night. Fnvel induced him to protract his visit. Tn 15SS the opposition succeeded In having Favel and Calvin expelled; but, although Favel never returned, Calvin went Hack In 1541, and gained such an ascendancy that he was soon enabled to set up a theocratic form of govern ment. with himself at the head. He wuK nt that time, In his thirty-second yen r. The site of Calvin's house, at Ge neva. Is at. No. 13 Grand Rue. That of ltoussenn, which still stands, is nt N<?. 40, the same street. After the French revolution the city was the capital of a French depart ment. but In 1SI4 It became the twenty second canton of the Swiss confedera tion. Since that time the history of Geneva, as regards Its foreign policy, lins been Identical, with that of the confederation. PROTECT THE MIAMI VALLEY Work of Protecting Immense Reser voirs One of the Greatest Projects of the Kind. Were It not for trte fart that the United States has boon engaged In tho greatest of world wars, tho build ing of the five dry reservoirs as part of a floofl-preventlon plan In the Ml Timl valley would arrest the attention of the nation, says Howard Egbert In Popular Mechanics Magazine. Further thnn that, international construction experts would be watching the work with considerable interest, because the project Is by' far the greatest of its kind ever attempted in this country. The plan, of course, is to Insure per manent protection to the more than 700,000 inhabitants living In the Miami cqnservancy district, a reglpn follow ing closely the Miami ~rlver7~Bir~fin- - - portant but not navigable waterwpy which threads its way through south ern Ohio counties. The cost Is esti mated at $20,000,000. More than 2,000 men are required to complete the con struction work, and three years as a minimum Is the length of time esti mated as necessary to carry out the designs of the district. Five huge re tention basins, or dry reservoirs, are being constructed, all of them now well under wny. To construct any one of these dams means the digging, trans porting. depositing and compacting of from 850,000 to 4,000,000 cubic yards <rf earth. For the Miami river chan nel the estimate is 4,000,000 cubic yards. Dams and river together will mean the excavation and transporta tion in all of some 13,000.000 cubic yards of earth. The flood-conservancy project con sists of the dry-reservoir system, which, once constructed, will occupy Ave different tract* of land In the dis trict. At unusual periods of high wu tor It Is designed to permit all over flow water to run into these basins. They wiTl be so stoutly constructed i that they cannot break under pressure of milljons of gallons of water. The < river ctonnel, thus relieved of tho ad ditional burden of high water, will not be threatened, and the customary dan cer of hanks breaklpjf or overflowing is entirely eliminated. Best Way to 8taln Floor. To sfaln your floor a dark walnut have tho floor perfectly clean, then take a pound of burnt umber gronnd In oil ; pal.it stores sell this prepara tion. Next take boiled linseed oil and mix enough of the umher with it to color the oil, but not thicken It. Try on a small piece of board and add um ber until you have the required Khade. Hub this into the floor until the stain ceases to come off and the wood Is of a rich walnut brown. Some of the color may dry out. in which case an other coat should be applied. Least Sh? Could Do.
