RUTLE PRODUCTION IN 1913.

Virginia produced all the American
output of rutile in 1913, the American
Rutile Co. being the only producer in
the United States, according to Frank
L. Hess, of the United States Geolo-
gical Survey. This Company controls
and works the well-known deposits at
Roseland, Nelson County, Va. During
the year the compay produced 3O5
tons of rutile carrying "a per cent of
titanium dioxide (TiO2). The portion
of the deposits worked contains con-
siderable ilmenite and this is removed
from the concentrates by Wetherell
magnetic separator, about $50 tons
being thus produced during the year.
The 1O-stamp mill was operated con-
tinuously from March to the end of
the year.
Not all the rutile concentrate was
sold, but the demand promises to be
better than heretofore, and foreign
firms are showing much interest.
Prices ranged from $16o to 5000 ton,
depending upon quantity and purity.
The highest price is paid for pulver-
lied material for the ceramic trade
A large part of the rutile produced
this year has been used in the manu-
facture of titanium carbide electrodes
for arc lamps, and considerable trade
is developing for rutile to be manu-
featured into titanium oxalate used
as mordant in wood dyeing. There
has not been so large a demand as
formerly for rutile to be used in the
manufacture of ferrotitanium.
A part of the separated ilmenite
has been sold for use in making cleo
trodes for electric lights, and expert
ments with the electric furnace point
to the possible use of ilmenite in the
production of cool steel.

that impresses you is the absence of
any noise or confusion. For General
Stage Director D. w. Griffith, to whom
these young artists owe their skill
believes in silent rehearsals, and even
the voices of the directors are heard in
only conversational tones. Then, you
are actually surprised by the extreme
youth and rare beauty of the well
known actresses as you recognize
them from seeing them in pictures.
There is Mae Marsh, who was dis
covered by Director Griffith two years
ago in Los Angeles. This talented
little emotional actress has gained
fame that is already world wide. And
there is Blanche Sweet, whose work
on the screen equals the efforts of our
greatest stage leading ladies', and
whose age is that of Vassar fresh
man. And there is Lillian Gish, who
is hailed by David Belasco as the most
beautiful blonde in the world. Lillian
Gish, Mary Pickford and Vivian Pres
colt worked as stage children toge-
Their. All are now famous picture
stars.
One of the reasons for the high
place held by these young celebrities
is that upon which Director Griffith
has always laid great stress: Age
is fatal to beauty

First, Second and Third Rate Boys.

In the January American Magazine
Charles K. Taylor writes an interest
ing article entitled Better Boys" in
which he represents new standards
for judging your boys physical de-
velopment. He divides boys into
three classes-the slender type, the
medium type and the heavy type-and
he gives the standard measurements
in each of these divisions for boys of
from 9 to Is years of age. He then
shows how delinquent boys in the var
ious divisions can improve and bring
themselves up to the proper standards
This system is in practical use in
Philadelphia, as the following extract
from Mr.. Taylor's article will show:
''In some of the public schools of
Philadelphia boys may be seen wear
ing pretty little buttons on their
coats. There are three designs and
two qualities of button. One, made
cheaply of celluloid, is a simplified
form of the shield of the United
States. Another button, similar in
design, has white ring around it.
The third button is we'll and strongly
made of plated metal and enamel, with
two rings around the design, one white
and the other blue.
Wearing the last button signifies
that its fearer has a 'first-class' ply
sique, the second button indicates a
'second-class' physique, and the first
button mentioned indicates that the
wearer, physically at least, is distinct
ly third rate
"You wouldn't think a boy would
wear button advertising himself as
third rate would you? But he does
for the simple reason that there are
very desirable clubs and activities to
which boy from one of these schools
cannot belong unless he wears one of
the League buttons. So the third
rater wears his miserable button until
he makes up enough of his physical
weakness to get at least into the
second-rate class, and finally, if he has
energy and ambition enough, into the
frst-class. All this is part of an ex-
pertinent in direct character develop
ment."

To Spank or Not to Spank

In the February WOman's Home
Companion, Mary Heaton Worse be-
gins a series of stories entitled "Ad-
ventures In Childhood" In this first
story, which is entitled "To Spank or
Not to Spank" the author makes the
following comment:
Before the question of To Spank
or Not to Spank, the question of To
Be or Not to Be pales into mere philo-
sophical sniveling. For while you go
on discussing being, you Are; and
while you are discussing Spanking,
your child runs ahead of you, turning
to you his inspecting rear, which
has never been defiled by what is Gu
phemistically known as Corporal Pun
ishment. And when you have gotten
to the point of discussing whether you
shall apply 1t or not, something in
your world has gone remarkably
wrong. What sort of parents are you
that you must resort to violence?
Thus The Question spreads its dark
wings and broods."

Start was a graduate Of the VIII
mington High School and had been
employed as a draughtsman at the Off
ces of the American Bridge Company
81 Edge Moor. One week ago he
went to Perryville to spend his vaca-
ton. It was the first time he had
gone away by himself. He planned
to return home today.
Start and several companions went
for a walk along the river bank yes
terday afternoon, and when Start
came to the bridge he decided to take
q swim. He was the only one Of
the party who went into the water,
but as he was known to be a good
swimmer, no apprehension was felt
for his safety. He started out into
deep water, but had not taken many
strokes when the cramps seized him
and he sank from sight. His friends
were unable to find a boat, and he
was drowned before other help could
arrive.
