successful seaside resort. the separate
interests which control the beach at
Atlantic City have made it their prac-
tice to build shore, protection struc.
lures all along the f%requented part Of
the beach. which is the entire city
ocean front. Unfortunately this con-
%struction has not been under the
charge Of any central authority, 80
that various methods have been used
to prevent the beach from eroding,
says the Engineering News. Some Of
these have been successful. while 9TH
ers have not served the purpose for
which they were designed.
At Atlantic City the prevailing type
Of protection is the timber groin and
timber wall. although in a few cases
stone groins have been built. The best
wall which is now in service is the
one which has been built by the Hotel
Chalfonte owners to protect the beach
in front Of that hotel. In consists of a
row of piles about four feet center to
center. penetrating from ten to fifteen
feet and projecting about five feet
above the sand. Near the top Of the
piles a 6 by 6 inch timber is fastened.
Two rows of two inch s%heathing are
then driven in front of the 6 by 6 inch
stick and fastened to it. and in front
Of the sheathing q riprap protection is
dumped.
Another wall is built very nearly &C.
cording to the same design as the one
Just mentioned. but the stone protec-
ton has been left of in front and in
stead there has been placed a banking
of sand to the rear Of the sheet piles.
It is important to note that groins
when we'll built and properly located
will raise the beach level. but will not
protect the shore line against storms.
Shore protection. such as sea walls. It
well built will protect the shore line.
but will at the same time cause a
greater securing action and thereby
tend to lower the beach.

Chronic Iron Ore.

Deposits Of chronic iron ore occur In
Maryland and the adjacent portion Of
Pennsylvania. in North Carolina and in
Wyoming, but the only deposits Oper-
ated in the United States within re-
cent years are in California. Numerous
deposits have been reported in thirty
two counties Of that state according to
the United States geological survey.
and many of them could be, worked If
the demand for the ore and it's value
warranted exploitation. The available
deposits. with much in reserve, largely
exceed the local demand for refractory
material in Il field extending as far east
AZ the Rocky mountains.

Miss Maryweather tried to appear re-
lieved. She ap0lOgized for her harsh
treatment of Mr.. Shackelford and hoped
he would forget and forgive it. In.
deed. she was so amiable that Mr.
ShackelfOrd was very much pleased
with her. He ven straight from her
to a flower shop. where he ordered Il
big box Of flowers to be sent her. This.
Of course. necessitated a note Of thanks.

like to see the donor about their sup.

Mr.. Shackelford began to wish it was
a real marriage. Finally Miss Mary.

felt there was a singular bond between
them ever since he had 80 adroitly re.

by this time Mr.. Shackelford. whose
tastes were all for bachelorhood. began
to see that he had been caught in bis

lady till she wrote him a note to say
that she had confided the matter o1
their marriage to Il lawyer friend. who
had told her that there need be nc
trouble about it provided neither was
disposed to make trouble for the Other
by claiming that 1t was a real mar
riage. She hoped Mr.. Shackelford
would never do that. This brought hin

lubrieating Auto Springs.
The leaves Of automobile springs
o o become dry and develop q squeak
which is very annoying. An easy and
effective manner to remedy this trou-
BILE is the following: Obtain some fine
bronze wire mesh and cut it into strips
the same length and width as the
leaves of the springs. Fill the spaces
between the wires with hard oil or
grease by placing the screen on a lat
surface and using a putty knife or a
flexible strip. Of steel to spread the
grease. Take. the springs apart and
build them up again. inserting the
creased mesh between the leaves.
This will stop all ~squeaking and pro-
duce easier riding for q long time.
Bridges Rustod BY Salt.
Recent Investigations of the illinois
state highway department indicate
that few highway steel bridges In that
state are painted after their final CON-
pletion and acceptance. Very serious
%corrosion results and h illustrated In a
number of cases. A serious factor in
the corrosion of iron and steel is the
use Of salt to clear, the roadway Of
snow and ice. This, was considered at
least partly responsible for the bad
condition of truss members In a bridge
which had been about fifteen years In
service. -Engineering Record.

then turn the fiber over and insert the

like manner. The projecting cutters
for cutting the outside circle of the
hole will cut from both sides, and a
washer the size of the bit will drop
u The size hole desired can then be
made IN the washer.

NO INSTANCES OF ATROCI.
TIES.

New York, Sept. 8.-Four we'll
known American newspaper men
and magazine writer's, il a mes
sage received here yesterday, de-
clare they have seen no instan-
ces of German atrocities unpro-
voked after having spent two
weeks with their troops, accom-
panying them upwards of 100
miles. The text of the message
was mutilated in transmission
but the contents were interpreted
as follows:
''In spirit we unite in render
ing (sic) German atrocities
groundless as far as we, are able
to. After spending two weeks
with and accompanying the
troops upward of 100 miles. we
are unable to report a single in
stance unprovoked. We also are
unable to confirm rumors of mis-
treatment to prisoners or of nom
combatatnts with the German
columns. This is true. Of Lou
vain, Brussels. Luneville and
Nantes, while in Prussian hands.
We visited Chateau Soldre.
SamVre and Beaumont without
substantiating a single wanton
brutality. Numerous investigat-
cd rumors proved groundless.
Everywhere We have seen Ger.
mans paying for purchases and
respecting property rights, as
well as according civilians every J
consideration.
"After the battle Of Biass
(probably Barse. suburb of
Nar,ur) we found Belgian women
and children moving comfort
ably about. The day after the !
Germans had captured the town
in Merbes Chateau. we found one
citizen killed, but were unable to
confirm lack Of provocatlon.
Refugees with stories Of atrOcl-
ties were unable to supply direct
evidence. Belgians in the Sam
bre Valley discounted reports of
cruelty in the surrounding coun-
tries. The discipline Of the Ger
man soldiers is excellent. as we
observed. To the truth of these
we pledge our profes-
sional and personal word.

A law forbidding the export
of grain and foodstuff to bellige-
rent nations might be made to
serve the double purpose Of hold
ing prices down to a legitimate
level in this country and hasten
ing the end Of slaughter in Eu-
rope. Already it is reported
that there is great suffering
among the German and Austrian
troops because of lack of COM
mlssaries, and spectators in this
country are holding wheat and
ether commodities awaiting the
possibility of unloading at big
profits. Farmers are unable to
dispose Of their holdings at this
