Power From Waste Gases.

Enormous possibilities for power genera
ton exist in the waste gases discharged
by blast furnaces. coke ovens and other
metallufgicaf furnaces. Much greater
progress has been made in utilizing these
in Germany than in other countries. 1t is
estimated that the so-called lean gases dis
charged from the blast furnaces of Ger
many are capable of developing one mil
lion horsepower. There are now built and
for this purpose aggregating 100000 horse
power. These are mostly In large units.
one firm alone having constructed 40 en-
gines, totaling 10000 horsepower.
The utilization of coke oven gases has
pr oceeded more slowly. although the gas
discharged from such ovens Is of much
higher caloriic value than the lean blast
furnace gas The richer gas enables a
CINE of a given size than is possible with
the poorer furnace gas. but the lean gas
permits a higher degree Of compression to
be used without danger Of premature igni-
result that the poorer gas enables the
higher thermal efficiency to be attained.
There IL little doubt that the apparent
reluctance on the part of iron manufactur-
ers and metallurgists to install great gas
power plants is largely due to the fact that
the manufacture and sale Of power Is an
altogether different business from any of
the metallurgical Industries and that In
macy instances power plant Is dependent
upon local industries which have to be
built up in the vicinity. Although portion
of the power Of Niagara Is transmitted to
Buffalo. the greater part of the output Is
taken by the electrochemical and other
works situated near the powerhouse. The
same plan is needed to obtain the best re-
suits from the utilization of furnace gases.
since only small portion of the total power
available Is needed for driving blowing
engines and other machinery about the iron
works and profitable outlet must be pro-
vided for the remainder. To develop the
million horsepower which 1t Is estimated
is now being wasted in the discharge gases
of the British metaIlurgical Industries might
well be the work Of an altogether separate
commercial organization.

"NAvAJo" AND APACHE"
What Was the Original Meaning Of
These Race NamesP
From Anthropos.

From Anthropos.
Navajo was originally written Navajo
and is word of Spanish origin. According
to the late DR.. w. Matthews that name Is
generally supposed to mean ''clasping knife
or razor and to have been given by the
Spaniards because the Navajo warriors
carried great stone knives about their per-
sons. 1t has also been suggested that the
name may come from a Homogeneous word
meaning pool or small lake. Finally Horatio
Hale, a prominent American ethnologist,
recorded the fact that some take 1t to sig
nifty cornfield people. In the light OF the

secured all the kinds of peaches. plums
and prunes that he could and grated them
onto the trunk of healthy growing apple

grated an almond branch on the same tree.

signed the cail fop the mass meeting. and who is an ayoWed Socialist. Mir. kempef said:
 ''i think from what can learn tlIaj the meeting Was simply Sociaistic s&thering, controlled by the Social ists, and that in passing he reSolu- lions they did they simply saw an op= nortunity of spreading their propa. ganda by a denuncidtien of a Demo cratic sheet Their action dees not meet with my approval at al.
 The Graphic has business relations directly with the typographieal un- ion. If union labor in Pine Bluff has any grievance against the paper. the printers should be the first 10 know i;. They know. far better than oth- CTS. just how the paper stands with reference to unionisn. They know the Graphic is their friend. They know that no paper has ever been quicker to meet them on halfway ground for the betterment of their condition. They know how unjust was the action of certain Socialists last Saturday night,
 For the truth of the matter is that the meeting was inspired by Social ists. organized by Socialists, and en. etc a a4 We can gather.
 The principle address of the even ing was made by Little Rock So- cialist spell-binder, MT Perrin. An other long tirade was delivered by Chairman Fisk, whose Soclallstlc views are LOO well known to merit ! comment Judge kerwin also made an address. Whether it was Social istic or not we have not been able to learn We understand that MT. Fisk introduced the resolutions and called for a vote on them While spoaking, We have been unable to learn whether he gave opponents ot the measure an opportunity to vote 1 At any rate it was perhaps his engl neerins which got the resolutions through-however passed.
 No formal invitation was ever eX tended any labor organization indl vidually to participate in the meet ing. In fact. resolution in the printers union providing for partle ination never even reached the vote taking stage, and died a-born1ng.
 We believe every printer in town will condemn the resolutions.
 We believe every fair-minded man will condemn them.
 Tn fact. in the light of the fOfeSo- irs. it vii! not be difficult to see the motif underlying the action Of the gathering. These Socialists saw an opportunity-=weak though it was-ol l advertising their theories. and follow ing up the well-known plan or de nouncing everybody and everything contrary to their preconcelved no tions of things, proceeded to resolute to the aetriment of the Graphic.
 And in the light of facts develop ed. their effort will be futile one The Graphic stands today where II has always stood--a personal trleho te, the workingman a political foe 10 ! Socialism.

SOCIALISTS TRICK
ketion Of ''haassss MMeesing" Of Last Saturday Night Condemned by All the Leading Officers of the Typographical Union, Who Uphold the Graphic.

q do not regard the meeting of '7st Saturday night as d representa- tive union labor meeting, so far as the Typographical union is concerned, and do not approve of the action of the meeting. Had l been one of it's participants 1 should certainly have voted against the resolution con den1nina the Daily Graphic.'
 Such were the words of MT. Geo Morris, president of Pine Bluff Typo. graphical union No. AT. when inter- viewed by d reporter for the Daily Graphic Monday afternoon.
 Mr. Morris added that so far as he could learn there were no represen- tatiyes of the printers union at the meeting and his impressions, from what he cou'd gather on the outside were that the meeting was i'll fact a Socialist gathering.
 "The union men feel very friendly toward the Graphic continued MT. Norris. "and have absolutely no com Elaint to make The Graphic was among the very first to sign the eight hour scale. and has always act ed fairly with us in every way. We have no desire to destroy the amicable relations existing between the paper and the union. In fact, the union has NO desire to control the editorial pol icy of the paper. and has no right to do so if it did so desire.'
 MT. Tom Wilson, secretary of the typogra phical union, was next seen by the reporter, and said:
 q was not at the meeting, and know of no other member of the un- ion who was an attendant. While l know nothing concerning it. think ir was in the nature of Sociallstlc gathering. do not endorse the res clutions passed by the body, ana would have voted against them had been a participant. The union has nc fight to make against the Graphic, but feels very friendly toward the paper, which has acceded readily to all our demands
 Neither of the two leading officers of Typographical union No. 447, named above, is an employe of the Graphlc' ;, Eut both work in the Commercial of /, fec Mr Morris is foreman and MT. l Wilson machine man, and both are l prominent and enthusiastic union men.
 MT. Will Owen, who is vice presl dent of the local typographical union, l in an interview, stated:
 T regard the meeting of last Satur- day night as being merely Socialls- ric one. and that is about all there is to it. Prominent Socialists made the call for the meeting, and while l was not present, and no other mem- Der of the union. so far as l know, 1 understand that Socialists had con- trol of it. l do not endorse the ac-
 ton of the meeting, and think the resolutions were wholly uncailed
