TO BUILD new SHELTERS
English Government Finds Processes
in Those in Great Britain Are
Old Fashioned.
KEEP EYE ON ZINC SHORTAGE

| Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
| LONDON, July 28-"The whole prob
lem OF increasing the manufacture OF
spclter In the United Kingdom IL en-
gaging the immediate attention OF his
majesty's government" declared Mr..
Bonar Law. in behalf Of the government.
I'm Parliament recently. More than a
score Of questions had been put to him
urging the necessity OF preventing any
further shortage or rise in price of zinc,
which has advanced TO nearly five times
It's value before the war.
Strange as IL may seem in the face OF
tho urgent demand for zinc in making
cartridges. cases and other munitions, the
output Of the British works since the
beginning Of the war has actually been
smaller than normal Several plants
have had a number Of furnaces idle and
the productive capacity OF the others has
been only about half what II was before
the war. The main reason. IL is said, is
the withdrawal OF skilled labor by en-
listment. At the same time It is ad-
mitted that the British plants are old
IA shioned lacking the numerous labor
saving devices which have been adopted
in Germany and the United statos during
INV AH@N ENNtu tAAuN ytAIks
Estimates have now been prepared for
the government for tho erection OF new
smelling works Of the latest type in this
country. capable Of dealing with 20o.0oo.OoO
pounds OF concentrates a year and pro-
ducing about 5000 tons OF zinc. The
plant could begin TO make deliveries
within nine months. The cost of erec-
ton would be about sA000.0Oo
Have German Contracts.
A knotty question in connection with
the spelter situation IL provided by the
outstanding contracts entered into by the
Australian mines with German houses.
As explained by Mr.. Bonar Law:
II am not aware that there is any
German owned spelter in Australia. Aus
tralia, however. produces large quantities
of zinc ores and concentrates. These were
not manufactured into spelter in Aus
tralia, but before the war they were
principally exported to Germany for that
purpose, On December II the Australian
government drew the attention of his
maiesty's government to the contracts
with German firms by which they were
controlled. The question Of these con-
tracts is now being considered"
Before the war Great Britain was con-
tent to procure most Of It's zinc from
smelling COMPANIES in Germany. Belgium
and France. which extracted the metal
from the Australian ores. bill is being
put through the Australian Parliament
dealing with the ore supply and releasing
the mines from their German agreements,
but some Of the mines are owned by
companies In England and legislation by
the English government will probably
be also necessary. The main problem,
however, is that of obtaining adequate
smelling capacity. Large increases In
the available smelling resources of the
United States are expected to relieve the
situation partially within a short time.
II 's said that any new smelling works
which may be built in England will be
constructed in conjunction with Belgian
and French interests.

Merely Wlsher
How often you meet him
the "Wisher!" He wishes
for this, he wishes for that,
or hewishes for some other
thing; and he usually gets
nothing! Because wishing
will get no one anywhere.
So it is that the "Wisher" is
always and forevermore a
"Wisher!!" You know him
and his class" "Oh, | wish |
had a decent place to live"
or "Iwish | had a home" or
Il wish | could get a farm"
Well, the only way he'll ever
get it is by going after it.
And we say to YOU now
that if you want a house,
lot, farm, or ANYTHING,
don't be a "Wisher," but go
and getit-go after it! Profit
by the experience of the
"Wisher" who never gets
anywhere or accomplishes
anything. If YOU want a
home 60 get it.
And, listen, the easiest, safest
and best way to proceed is to
turn RIGHT NOW to the Real
Estate columns of THE BEE
and scan the offerings. There
you will find many opportunities
awaiting you.
