CONSTRUCTION WORKS
ARE At A STANDST|LL

CHRISTIANA, October 16.-Some
of the great construction com
panies of Norway financed with
English capital have had to STOP
work, as payments from England
have been cut off. Several of these
companies have been Harvesting
Norwegian water falls for electric
power. The Nitrogen Products and
Carbide company, Ltd, for instance,
has been erecting machinery to de-
velop 100000 horse power, but after
having spent millions of crowns it
has ceased operations, throwing
about a thousand men out of work.
Mining companies, exporting ore to
England. Belgium and France, have
also stopped, as their market at
present is closed. About 5000 hands
in this industry are idle. The great
industrial factories are kept going
as before the war, and there is
even a greater demand for workmen
than there are men to fill the places.
On the government railway, under
construction. where wage are as
high as five dollars a day, they can
not get hands enough.
There is also plenty of employ
ment for sailors in the merchant
marine. and wages are raised con-
siderably because of the danger of
floating mines. Two Norwegian
steamers have thus far ben blown up
by these machines. The fishing fleet
has kept at work in the North Sea
and had very good catches.

-
A mother who is bringing Ip a
family of nine children in these
times ought to know a good deal
about how to manage, and her ex-
perience should be of value to Oth-
ers, even to those with much small
er families.
There is such a family in a Min
nesota city (there are seven girls
and two boys, ranging in age from
four to twenty-four). The mother
gives some facts about her domes-
tic arrangements, which are very in
interesting. They are summarized as
follows:
Food-Saving is considered to be
largely wise buying. So there is no
hand-to-mouth ordering in this fam
ilv. A cement-walled and fioored
cold storage room in the cellar
makes possible the purchase OF
thirty bushels of potatoes when they
are cheapest. Proportionate quaint
ties of cabbages, beats, turnips, car
rOts. celery, etc, are also Dought
and stored at the proper time. Flour
and sugar are bought by the hun
dred pounds or barrel, vinegar n
molasses by the gallon, eggs by the
crate.
This fall thirty-two cans of toma'
toes were put up" and many feet
of shelving in the cellar groans uH-
the weight of tier after tier OF glass
jars of peaches, plums, pears, cur
rants and %jellies. This family could
withstand a siege of several months,
but good food, cleanliness, early
hours and general care have pre-
vented any such necessity, for the
family has never been quarantlned
by the health authorities.
Clothing-Buying in quantities IS
the rule here also. When it's time
TO buy shoes and rubbers. paterfa-
milias m~usters a squad OF SIX OF
eight children and marches thehi
to the shoe dealer, who is glad to
| give a liberal discount on such a

if is not strange that most or the
dresses and hats are made at home,
especially SLICE oCNCi"i o.
have. perforce, become adopts with
the needle and scissors. They watch
the bargain sales and also the fash
, ion nints in the newspapers. Ehu'
of season remnants provide good
material cheap for next season 5
dresses. All cleaning and dyeing Is
likewise done at home.
The Home - There is a mixture
of Scotch, French and German in TINS
family's ancestry, so that 1T is not
! surprising that the home is owned
They rented part of a duplex al
first. Then bought it and made the
rent money from the other part help
pay for the property. Later the
husband and father, who is a build
ing contractor, built a home in a
part of the city more desirable Tor
bringing up children.
The Bank-Of course. the fnanc-
es of the family are largely handled
through a checking account, while
most of the children have their own
savings accounts or a little metal
bank at home. 1t goes without say
ing that they will be thrifty and
successful. They could not be 9th
erwise with the wise example, pre-
cept and training impressed upon
! them constantly. ID. MacGregor

The Russian losses in the fighting
have been heavy, but some estimates
place the German casualties in the

Survivors are still endeavoring to

instances are entrenched behind piles

RAILROAD COMMISSION
WANT MORE AUTHORITY

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. S.-(Spe-
cial. l.)-At the coming session of the
legislature the railroad commission
ers will ask for the enactment OF a
law that will give them more pow
err over elevator companies, so far as
an examination of the books and
business of the concerns is con-
cerned. 4S5ss
d What the commission wants is q
law that will allow them to go in and
examine the books of any OF the
companies without giving notice to
the officers. At the present time the
companies are exempt from an ex-
animation except upon their petl'
tions or, if the concern is corpora
ton, upon the petition of fifteen per
cent: of the stockholders. There
have been a few cases this past year
when, il an examination had been
held, much trouble to the commits
sion and some loss to the customers
of the concern would have been
saved. The commission will also
ask that a law be passed to bring
gas, electric light and power COM
panies under their supervision.

new NORTHERN PACIFIC
RAILWAY EQUIPMENT
New Steel Cars For Northern Pacific
Trains.

st. Paul, Dec. 5.-The Northern
Pacific Railway company, in keeping
with it's policy of maintaining and i'm
proving it's equipment in an up-to-
date manner, has recently placed an
order for large number of steel cars.
That no special part of its service
may be given preference in matter
of this sort, this order has been made
to cover the various classes of equip
ment-Pullman and tourist sleeping
cars, dining cars, baggage cars, day
coaches, smoking cars and mail cars.
The total number of cars Of all classes
thus ordered is III, at cost of about
$2,OO0,000.
These cars will be delivered to the
road in time to care for the increased
traffic expected in connection with
the Pacific Coast expositions in San
Francisco and San Diego in 1915, and
together with the stleel equipment
which the Northern Pacific now has in
service, will emphasize the policy of
! the company to make Safety First"
one of the cardinal principles in the
conduct of it's business. In connec-
tion with his policy of Safety
First" it may be we'll to add that in
the year 1914 additional double track
has been laid and 800 miles more OF
automatic block signals have been
installed. A considerable amount OF
Reconstruction and improvement work
has also been done this year, particu-
larly in the Puget Sound region.

Recent Fighting to
Their Advantage.
ALLIES IN FRANCE
MOVING CAUTIOUSLY
Graphing With Teutons at Dit-

London, Dec. 9.-Whfle the allied
armies in the western area of the
war grope their way forward eau
tiously, graphing with the Germans
here and there for slight advantages,
the great struggle in Russian Poland
continues, with the Germans for the
time being scoring the most points.
Russia has not yet fully conceded the
occupation Of Lodz, but in view of
the repeated German claims and the
Russian admission Of the reforma'
ton Of her battle line there It would
seem that the German center has
achieved this goal, upsetting what
for time was hailed as a decisive
Russian victory.
News ofo the capture Of Lodz, &C
cording to a Central News dispatch
from Amsterdam. aroused extraor
dinary enthusiasm in Berlin, the
houses there being decorated with
German and Austrian flags. While no
ofhcial report has been received of
the number OF prisoners and guns
captured Berlin news dispatch re.
ceived in Amsterdam says 100000
Russian prisoners were taken by the
Germans at Lodz. The Bourse Ga.
xette, semi-oficial Russian organ. says
the Germans in the months fighting
around Lodz lost 100000 men, the
percentage Of loss being particularly
high among the commanding and
commissioned officers.
Details Still Lacking.
The capture of Lcdz will threaten
the Russian line of communication
with Warsaw, that is to say, the great
arterial railway which runs diagon.
ally across Poland from Czenstochwa
to the Polish capital. Details of the
great battle still are lacking, however.
and 1t remains to be seen whether
the Germans will attempt further ad.
vances in this region at this time.
The latest Tvetonic official advices
indicate the Russian left wing has
been attacked In the vicinity Of
Piotrkow and forced to retreat, while
the Russian right wing also is being
forced back, one report asserting the
Germans are only a few days march
northwest Of Warsaw.
According to the kilograms from
Sluis, Holland, fierce fighting has been
resumed along the User canal. The
Germans, according to the same dis
patches, are taking renewed precau-
tions against the bombardment of Zee
brugge, on the Belgian coast, by Brit
ish .warships. Windows and balco-
