ECONOMY IN NEW PROCESS
pressed in Steel Molds. lns'ead of
by Old Method.

In some of the modern European
electric construction works, molding
machines turn out millions of small
brass pieces such as the industry re-
Quires. Compression of brass pieces
In steel molds has now supplanted the
old method of casting, for turning out
such pieces in brass or bronze. For
merly a sand mold had to be made for
each piece. but now a single steel mold
serves for thousands of pieces. In this
process are used brass bars whose Sec
ton is chosen after experience so as
to be best adapted for shape and size
of the finished piece, then a section Is
cut off the bar TO length, and the piece
is heated to redness in a furnace, then
nodded at high pressure in the steel
mold. A pressure of a few seconds is
enough to produce the required shape.
and it is found that pressure makes
the brass more compact and solid. As
the steel mold can be made exact to a
small fraction of an inch, the products
have very close sizes for use. Even
pieces which formerly were cast in
bronze, such as shaft bearings. are
now made by the molding process

Queerest Dance In the World.

The Godavari dance of the malay
ers, or drummers, of Malabar is a very
popular function when the native
farmers are taking their ease after the
hard work of harvest. The principal
character Is a weird figure supposed
to represent the sacred COW of the
gods, Kamachenu. A small boy car
ries this about while the other per-
formers, decked out in primitive fash
ion with painted bodies and hideous
masks, go through a weird dance, &C.
companied by much drum beating and
singing. Wherever 1t goes the cow
Is supposed to shower blessings and
prosperity, and so, ostensibly to please
the animal, but in reality to satisfy
the dancers, presents OF money. paddy
or rice are given to the performers.
This custom has been in existence
from time immemorial and is likely
to continue as long as agriculture en-
dures among the Hindus OF Malabar.-

lreIand's Stirrinu Soma.

The origin of the unofficial anthem
OF Ireland, st. Patrick's Day in the
Morning" is most obscure. The ear
liest known copy appears in Ruther-
ford's Country Dances" published in
1749. but it is said to have been played
by the Irish pipers at the battle OF
Fontsnoy in 17i5. and was probably
current for some time before this. The
tune is found attached to various roll

coat for her sake, is sung to a version
Of "St. Patrick's Day." the words Bar

ALL BELONG TO ARYAN RACE
Many Peoples Of the Present Day
Trace Their Origin to That
Group Of Humanity.

All the people who speak English.
German. Russian, French. Spanish.
Italian. Welsh. Erse or Irish. Scotch
of Gaelic. and some OF the Asiatic Ian
guageS, trace .hcir origin back to the
old Aryau race says an exchange. ~
used TO be thought that the Aryans
came from some point in Asia several
thousands Of years ago. liut now GER
tain people claim that their home was
in the southern steppcs OF Russia:
and that the Indian and Persian
branch went toward the east, the
Slavs and TeutOns into the German
forests, and the Greeks toward
Greece: while the fOrefathers of the
Celts and Romans followed the Dan
ube river into Italy and Gaul. We
know that all these peoples are re-
lated from many words that have the
same root We can tell by words
even now in use. when the peoples
dwelt together, when they separated,
one group from another. and some
thirg about their daily habits and
lives. Fer instances, We know that
the AryaEs travelled in carts drawn
by cattle, because our words wheel"
axle, "yChe" and wagon all come
from Aryan root words We know
that at one time they were pastoral
people, depending mainly on their
fiockS and herds. because our words

words. Other words tell Us that they
were a numad.c people. migrating ac-
cordins To the season To obtain pastur-

II is a curious thought. that seems
to have occurred to 10 one. that many
of the ATyan peoples are coming to-

Audiences With SovereIqns.

The right of subjects laboring under
a grievance to claim personal audi
ence with their sovereign Is fully rec
ognized in a far less democratic coun-
try than ours. Ever since his aces
sion the Emperor Francis Joseph was
accustomed TO set apart one day
week on which he personally received
petitions. Although care was taken to
exclude those seeking to gain admis-
sion on purely frivolous pretexts, there
was but little formality on those days.
Persons of all classes-ranging from
a peasant wronged by his landlord TO
a highly placed official who had been
unjustly passed over for promotion
might be seen standing together in the
audience chamber, and to each and all
the emperor endeavored to do justice.

WAR TO COST TEN BILLIONS
French Authority Thinks II viii Last
Seven Months and Check Eco
nomIc Progress.

Paris.-Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, the
economist, estimates that each OF the
greater beiligerents is spending an av-
erage equivalent to 100000. 900 month
ly.
In presenting these figures to the
Academy of Moral and Political Sci
ences he said that he considered II
probable that the war would continue
seven months from August 1.
Accordingly the five greater powers
engaged were committed to an expen-
diture Of $4,000 100000. Each OF the
smaller states, including Japan, will
have expenses of $500. 100000 to $780,
100000 to meet
NJ. Leroy-Beaulieu continued:
"One might say that the war Will
cost the fighting powers roughly 49,
0OO. OOO, 900 to $4,000. 100000.
These figures, which do not take
into account the losses Of revenues
during hostilities, will be met, first,
by the issuance of notes against the
accumulated gold in the government
banks; second, by the issuance OF
short term treasury bonds to which
all governments are having recourse
during the war, and third. by delaying
payments for military necessities.
THE larger part Of the savings OF
the world will be absorbed by the tax

MaxIms for German Soldiers.

According to Harry Hansen, CORE
spondent of the Chicago News. these
ten maxims have been laid down for
the German soldiers:
No soldier can lead who has not first
learned to obey.
The character Of the discipline In
an army augments or weakens its nu-
merical strength.
A soldier insufficiently fed may be
overcome without recourse to the
sword
Courage Is worth more than cohorts.
The bravery and resOurcefulness OF
an officer inoculates a thousand men.
A soldier should wish to teach the
enemy, not learn from him.
A good soldier defeats rather than
reyiles the enemy.
The soldiers worst enemies are pre-
sumptuousness and pride.

Friend Of the Farmer.

Dr. Marion Dorset, bi-chemist of the
federal bureau of animal industry, is
the scientist who first isolated the
germ responsible for that farm scourge
cholera in the hog. That accomplished,
he perfected a serum TO combat it,
protected his processes by patents and
then turned them over to the public,
to be used without charge.

BIG FIGHT BELGIUM.
General Engagement Develops From
 Move Against BelfOrt.

London. Dec. 5.-The AustrO-Ger- man union is being hammered both from the east and from the west and on its own soil.
 While the Russians are assailing East Prussia's border, and successful ly penetrating Austria's territory. the French are carrying the fighting in great force up to the outer works of Metz, while menacing the country south of Strassburg with cannon and aerial bombardments.
 So advanced has become the fight ing on the western front that the storm center of the battle no longer rests in France. The crucial engage ments are being waged at the ex- treme limits of the line stretching from switzerland's border to the Belgian coast.
 It is in Alsace and in Belgium that France is fighting her big fight. With the aid of her allies she is' making notable progress on both fronts, de- spite ell the strength the kaiser can muster without weakening his east ern battle line.
 While the French war office is si- lent as to it's operations around Metz, Berlin admits officially that the Germans have been forced to defend their fortified positions there against French attacks. while the German army headquarters states they were repulsed.
 Berlin also makes official claim to advances in the territory southwest

RAILROADS SHOW
 GAIN IN BUSINESS Net Revenues of 126 Lines in Eastern District In-
 crease Since War. ASK RATE INCREASE
Figures Compiled by the Interstate Commerce Commission Refute Allegations of Eastern Rail.
 road Managers.

Washington, Dec. 5.-More com plete figures compiled by the inter- state commerce commission and made public today tend to show that the railroads in the eastern district are steadily increasing their net revenues. The figures include 126 railroads having a mileage ia the eastern dis trict of 44,219 miles.
 The figures cover the months of July, August, September and Octo- Der. which includes the period since the beginning of the war in Europe. It is on account of the alleged loss of business since the war that the railroads demand authority to raise their rates.
 Within the period named, for the 126 roads the net revenues in the eastern district are shown to have increased from $111,95S, ,203 in 1913 to $113.63S,39 for the corresponding period in 1914. This is net gain in four months of $1,6SO,1SS.
 The railroads of the eastern dis trict only show an increase in their net business, and yet they alone are asking an increase of rates.
 In both the western and southern districts material loss is shown, but no applications have been made by the carriers of this section for pllins up the burden on the shippers and the consuming public.

Trades Council Committee Rescinds Protest Against
 Students Doing Work.
BEGIN WORK MONDAY
Advanced Students of Manual Train. ing Department at High School to Build Fiye.ROOm House for
 Lee Fox.

Members of the manual training class of the Pine Bluff High school, under direct supervision of Prof. Horton of that department, will start work Monday on the erection of modern five-room cottage, on lot owl4ed by Lee Fox, at Twelfth and Laurel streets.
 All the work necessary for the erection of the house, except the bricklaying, gAs fitting and plumb ing, will be done by the boys, even to the necessary paving. In this way, the members of the class will get a practical hold on things of which they have already received theoretical instruction at the High school.
 This matter was definitely decided at the meeting of the school board last night, after a long discussion Of the proposition, and especially of the protest filed some time ago with the school board by the Central Trades Council. Acommittee from the trades council met with the school bo1rd, and the members of the committee participated in the discussion. At the conclusion of the talks, the labor rep resentatives agreed that there had been misapprehcnsion, on their part, and their protest was wltti- drawn.
 Members of the committee stated that they had understood the boys by erecting houses for persons who would provide the material, would thus be putting their free labor in competition with the paid labor ol the city. The facts brought out dur ing the discussion, however, satis. fled them that there was no intention to have the boys compete against la bor, and the representatives of tho trades council then made it plain thar they favor the work of the manua training department of the Higf school.
 The house to be erected by the boys will be of five rooms, with tw; porches, and will be modern il every respect. Bricklaying, gas fit ting and plumbingfwi be done by ex perienced men in those lines, but tn,
 boys will do all the other work nee essary.
 H Except for this proposition, tn, school board transacted no othe business outside the usual routine.
