Ozokerite In Aneriee

One of the products of petroleum
that has been exported by the United
States to value of between $4,000, 900
and $10,000,000 during the last three
years is paraffin wax. In spite of these
large exports, natural mineral wax
(ozokerite) is imported. for the reason
that its melting point is very high, and
although the paraffin wax from petro-
leum can be produced with this high
melting point, the process is difficult
and costly. Ozokerite occurs in con-
siderable quantity in Utah in the
,egion of Soldiers Summit, and has
been produced there, but the cost of
extracting it from low-grade material,
together with the cost of transporta-
ton to the market. which is chiefly in
the eastern states, has made it pos
sible for the foreign material, which
comes from 'Galicia, to compete with it

leader of the mob asked:

Americas Mineral Resources.

Mineral production in the United
States now reaches a grand total of
$2,5o0,000,000 a year, according to sta
tistics gathered by Wall Street Jour
nal. No other country of the world
makes anything like so large contri-
button to it's mineral wealth. The d.
rector of the geological survey re-
minds us that this country mines 40
per cent of the worlds output of coal
and 60 per cent of the petroleum. OF
the more essential metals 40 per cent
of the worlds production of iron ore
comes from American mines. Our
smelters furnish So per cent of the
copper and at least So per cent of its
lead and zinc. In no respect will the
European war probably bring more ad-
vantage to the United States than by
forcing home to us the possibilities
of providing for our own needs in
stead Of depending on foreign sources
for much of our mineral elements es-
sential to industry.

WASHTUBS FOR THE PUBLIC
Matter in Which American Cities Are
Behind Those of Various
Foreign Countries.

Facilities for washing clothes are de-
cidedly meager in the tenement dis
tricts of large cities. The establish
ment of public laundries or wash
houses fashioned after the plan of
those long in use in foreign cities is a
present demand. There are about fif-
teen of these institutions in America,
five of which are in Baltimore. Other
cities which have found an urgent de-
mand for them are Philadelphia, Buff
falo and Elmira. Recently commit
tee made an investigation of the ne
cessity for washhouses in New York,
and the cost of their equipment, OPP
GRAFTON, and so forth. The investiga-
ton covered population Of about
four hundred thousand in the poorer
sections of New York, and it was found
that from 80 to as per cent of the fami-
lies were without any washing facili-
ties in the home, while no hot water
except that heated in the apartment is
provided in from 70 to 95 per cent of
the houses. Inquiry among 10000 bath
ers at one of the municipal baths
showed that the women were enthusi-
astically in favor of the establishment
of public washhouses, and many Of
the men promised to make use of such
facilities. In Baltimore and Phila-
delphia special days are set aside for
men. The public washhouse finds it's
chief justification in the fact that it
gives to the people an opportunity to
appreciate the value to health and de-
cency of being physically clean. Phys
zeal cleanliness enhances moral and
spiritual tone, and leads to demand
for better housing and better house
hold equipment. which in turn make
for better health and for decency.

Then followed the usual please get

found that the incoming caller was
very pompous lady who wouldn't give
way. Il won't get off the line. l won't
ring off," she said peevishly. You're

this message at once" My friend was
helpless. 1t was of the greatest i'm
portance that he should get back to his
original call, so he let the peevish lady
talk.
She dictated an order for a special
dinner for II guests that night. She
specialized the table, ordered about
two hundred and fifty dollars worth
of flowers to decorate it, insisted on
certain walters attending, and finished
up by sharply reprimanding the man
at the hotel end for negligence and
Then she rang off, My

HAD CAUSE FOR INDIGNATION
Protest of Chinese Over Proposed
Exhibition" In England Seems to
Have Been Justified,

The Chinese Review, a highly inter.
esting London publication edited by
two Cinnamon, makes the following
comment on the bigoted attitude ex-
hibited in the West against everything
Chinese:
In the year of grace 1912 the hon
orable and high-minded promoters of
the Anglo-Japanese exhibition decided
to add a touch of Chinese color to the
great display at Shepherds Bush. A
scheme was forthwith proposed, and
widely advertised in the press, to in
stall typical opium den within the
exhibition grounds. and attempts were
made to hire Chinese sailors from the
East end to play the part of opium sots
and exhibit to the West, in realistic
detail, all the disgusting particulars
associated with opium smoking.
Suppose the tables be turned I'M
agine the promoters of a Chinese ex-
hlbition proposing to represent Great
Britain by setting up the model of
low-class drinking shop and engaging
Britishers to act the role of besotted
drunkards. In place of the mild pro-
test raised by the Chinese students,
Great Britain would probably have
sent fleet of warships to demand
reparation for the national insult"
In the whole range of China's past
and present, asks this Chinese editor,
is there nothing worthy of notice and
except an opium den?
