Ruskln's Grocery Adventure.

From time to time in the last few years various men and women of prominence have gone into the gro cery business to give the poo- a chance to buy small quantities at the same rate as those for which their richer brothers buy large quantities. Usually these plans have failed. for some reason or other. This was the case with Ruskin's grocery, for Rus. kin himself found it expedient to close 1t.

Production of Zinc in United States
(From Franklin Secretary of the neior)
), Secretary Of the Interior)

per ton, many mines in the Joplin re-
gion can mine ore that yields to "a
per cent of concentrates. Wisconsin,
Alabama, oklahoma and other central
states can and will largely increase
their output of ore, and the improved
methods of concentrating the ore and
the higher prices for concentrates will
make available large quantities of ore
from the western states.
In the Joplin district, Missouri
about IA per cent of the ore was left
in the mines as pillars. In the west,
owing to the cost of treatment and
freight charges much low grade ore
is left in the mine, but is not neces-
sarily completely lost unless the mine
is wrecked. Except in the New Jer-
sey mines where conditions are unique,
| it is probable that less than so per cent
of the zinc, even in those mines where
zinc is the only product, reaches the
form of spelter. Zinc mining is fire.
quently done on a royalty basis, an
arrangement that means great waste,
because the lessee naturally takes out
the ore paying the greatest profit and
leaves the poorest ore behind. Not
only are there enormous losses Of zinc
in mining, milling and smelling, but
the losses continue in the utilization
of zinc, especially in the manufacture
of brass. 1t has been estimated To-
600 pounds of zinc escape daily up the
stacks of the rolling mills in one city
in Connecticut.
In concentrating the losses are enor-
nous. In many mills not less than 40
per cent of the metal shown by assay
ing the ore is lost From 30 to 35 per
cent is perhaps an average loss. In
smelling zinc ores the loss is heav-
Ter than in smelling any other metal
the average is probably Is per cent OF
the assay value.
Lower royalties, better concentra-
ton works, and obligatory storage of
taiIings will help to lessen concentra-
ton losses. Further metallurgical i'm
provements are most urgently desir-
able

094. 600 short tons, of which the Unit
ed States produced 317 per cent. The
domestic production, which was higher
than that of any other country was
practically all consumed within the
United States. The production of zinc
in 1880 was 23,240 tons, and in 1913
the total domestic production was
$4,000 tons, slightly more than 5000
tons being produced from foreign ores.
The average consumption of spelter
for the last six years has been about
331, 900 tons annually. Since 1880 the
zinc output of the United States has
increased over 1900 per cent. or the
total amount produced in 1913, lf,foo
tons were exported to Europe. IN
1918 Germany and Belgium produced
nearly one-half of the worlds output
of zinc, a larger part from imported
ores. The independence of the Unlteo
States with reference to its zine sup
plies, is shown by the fact that from
January to June, 1915, more than 64,-
900 tons Of spelter was exported as
compared with S24 tons during the
corresponding half of 1914. The pro-
daction of spelter during the last half
of 1914 was 17S,000 tons as compared
with 216,500 tons during the first half
of 1916
The ability to produce spelter is on
ly limited by the capacity of the smell
ting plants, and the high price OF zinc
has caused all the old coal-fired smel-
tiers in Kansas and Missouri to resume
operations and has increased the mum

burning desire to turn the United
states into an armed camp and rush
the country into war upon the slight i.
est pretext.
now this attitude is largely tradi-
tional. 1t is an over-late survival 90
'he distrust of military force as ex-
pressed by a large standing army
winch manifested itself in the voung
republic at the close of the war of the
revolution. 1t was reasonable and
was to be expected in those times /.
put SO far as the United States is con-
cerned, 1t is utterly unreasonable to-
day; for there is absolutely nothing in
the record of the army and navy dur
ing the past 1870 years to indicate that
either branch of the service has at any
time desired to arrogate to itself an
undue authority or concern itself with
other than purely naval and military
affairs.
In fact, the boot is altogether on the
other leg. Politics has interfered at
times outrageously with the army, as
Mr.. Oswald G. Willard has shown so
ably in recent series of articles; but
the army and navy, as a whole, have
never concerned themselves with pol
1tics And as to that other suspicion
that our naval and military men desire
to impose upon the country an army
and navy altogether beyond it's re-
and that it is their wish
to cultivate an aggressive military
spirit all we have to say is that, af-
ter 20 years of intimate intercourse
with officers of all ranks in the two
services, we have failed to note the
slightest trace of any such spirit. And
as to the charge that our officers are
at all times eager for war, because it
would offer them exceptional oppor-
tunities for advancement, we do not
hesitate-and we know whereof we
speak-to denounce the charge as a
most unwarrantable dispersion upon
the professional integrity and the pure
patriotism of the finest body of pro-
fessional men in the country.
There is, today a widespread de-
nand throughout the country that the
public shall be put in closer touch
with its naval and military experts;
hat their lips shall be unsealed, and
hat the people shall have, at first
1and, the benefit of the advice and di-
'ection of the only men who are quail
fled to tell them just what kind of an
lrmy and navy they need, adequately
% protect their vast and ever-increas-
ng national interests. Our experts
would like to speak to the country,
md the country certainly wants to
listen. 1t has grown very weary of
having the recommendations of these
Experts pigeonholed, and of being pre-
,ented, instead, with the half baked
md necessarily immature and more or
ess amateurish recommendations of
some we'll meaning gentleman who,
,nly yesterday and all his life, may
lave been either let us say, lawyer,
country editor a professor or any
hing indeed but a student of naval
md military affairs.

Unmuzzle Naval and Military Officers
Scientific

The persistent refusal of the ad-
n,inistration to make public the plans
Of the war college and the general
staff of the army for the reorganiza-
tion and enlargement of our military
forces is the latest evidence that the
civilian head of the army is determin-
a1 to follow out the administrations
nolicy of sealing the lips of our naval
and military men and interposing a
barrier between the people Of the
United States (who are literally
thirsting for information, not merely
on this but upon every subject per-
tanning to our national preparedness)
and the only men who are qualified by
experience and knowledge to give them
that information.
The history of naval and military
affairs in this country proves that,
with few exceptions, the civilian heads
of departments have betrayed an ex-
aggerated sensitiveness regarding the
prerogatves of their position as the
mouthpieee of the departments over
which they presided. This unfortun-
ate and unjust attitude reached its
climax at the opening of the present
war, when an explicit embargo of sill
ence was laid upon every ranking Of
ficer and placed upon his desk in
printed form. No discretion whatso-
ever was allowed them; their lips
were securely padlocked, and it was
well understood that the slightest in
fringement of this order would be met
with condign punishment
Now this was done at the very time
above all others, when the people of
the United States were most eager for
information about the instruments Of
warfare. its practice, the strength and
quality Of the forces engaged, and the
thousand and one subjects of fascin-
ating interest which would be involv-
ed in the great world struggle. 1t is
we'll understood that there is much
information of secret and confiden-
tial character, relating both to our
own naval and military establish
ments and those of the powers at war,
which, in the nature of things, can
never be made known; but outside of
this there is a vast amount of infor-
nation of the kind which the public |
desires to have and which our naval |
and military men would be only too |
willing to give, which is denied to the
public because of this foolish and
quite unnecessary embargo
This raises the question as to whe-
Their the time has not arrived for the
administration to assume a more gen.
erous attitude to our naval and mill
tary officers, and treat them with the I
and dignity which are due
to men Of their high professional at I
strong loyalty and unques-
toned patriotism. And, above ALL it is !
high time that both congress and the I
administration should get rid, once
and for all, of that time-honored and
foolish old bugaboo of what it is pleas
ed to call "militarism." which, as it
affects the army and navy, takes the
form of a belief, or suspicion, or what
ever it should be called, that your J.

contained, roughly estimated as over
100000 pounds per year, being a to-
tai loss.
The annual waste OF metals, chiefly
zine, in brass furnace practice amounts
to more than $4,50O,OOO. Two million
dollars year of preventable loss may
easily be saved by bringing average
practice up to best practice.
In foundry practice 1t Is easy to
catch the zinc oxide from the present
form of melting furnace but unless
petroleum or gas is used as fuel the
oxide caught is SO mixed with foreign
material as to be worthless, except
possibly for making zinc chloride for
impregnating timber.
