Isn't It Aw2sts

 There is a little maiden Who has an awful tune. She has to hurry awfully To get to school at nine. She has an awful teacher. Her tasks are awful hard. Her playmates are all awful rough When playing in the yard. She has an awful kitty, Who often shows her claws; A dog who jumps upon her dress With awful muddy paws. She has baby sister With an awful little nose, With awful cunning dimples And such awful little toes. She has two little brothers, And they are awful boys, With their awful drums and trumpesss And make an awful noise. Do come, pray thee. common sensel Come and this maid defend. Or else, fear, her awful life Will have an awful end.

Machine shops Can BE Run More
Economically without Them.
A few years ago the building of a
machine shop without chimney would
have been looked upon as the act of an
idiot Now it may be the wisest thing
builder can do, for the large fan
which is taking the place of the Chin
ney costs a great deal less than the lofty
stack, and does its work much better.
Besides this there is great saving in
fuel.
In one plant where this experiment
was tried there were three boilers, ag-
gregating 260 horsepower, and directly
above them was mounted a fan connect
ed direct with by double cylinder
engine, The wheel of the fan was "a
inches in diameter, and as it could be
run at any speed, it provided a draft
quite independent of the fire. 1t was
possible to use much cheaper grade OF
coal and the saving thus effected was
quite appreoiable,
For instance, with the ordinary form
of chimney the shop would use 1924
