Panama.-Major General Geo. w

Why Galvanized Products Are High

Probably most dealers know that
the prices of all galvanized products
have been increasing for some time,
due to the unprecedented rise in the
price of spelter, the refined variety of
zinc. In fact, most manufacturers of
galvanized materials withdrew all
previous quotations recently. An ex-
PLANTATION Of the spelter situation was
printed in recent issue of the New
York Commercial. The article fol-
lows:
Nothing could be learned yesterday
regarding the investigation of the high
price of spelter by government Off
Gals. Several factors were Ques-
toned and maintained that the ad-
vances made were fully warranted by
the increased demand. On the whole,
it is purely case of supply and de-
mand governing market values"
Spelter is purely commercial name
for the refined. zinc, the ore after
| ,siielfing being moulded into pigs or
Slabs. The uses to which this metal
| IS put are many. The greatest de-
mand at present comes mainly from
the manufacturers of munitions 'oi
war; who use it in the making of cart.
ridges...,. One authority remarks
Cartridges are the key to the solu.
t'tien Of the high price of spelter."
f.. This metal sold at $40 cents per
Ipound on Friday, June 10, last year
while in East St. Louis, price of 4.95
[ cents per pound was received. Until
q few days ago, when the report was
circulated that the government had
taken steps to investigate the cause
Of the rapid rise in price of spelter, OF
zinc ore, the market showed signs
of uneasiness and the price declined
from % cents New York to 271s, sui
fered repeated declines to 241a @2s
cents yesterday.
The defense of the producers IL
based on the fact that prior to the
opening of the European hostilities
the burden of supplying the world
with spelter was distributed among
Belgium, Germany, Austria and the
United States. With the advent OF
the war and the consequent stoppage
of outward shipments from European
countries the entire task of furnish
ing the world with spelter was thrown
/
ers in the United States.
While the foreign demand increased
the requirements of domestic users oil
the metal became of greater volume
and at present every available means
for the production of this metal has
been utilized. In some instances
shelters which had been abandoned
owing to the futulity of operating fol
profit in view of the low price PAID
for the metal, have resumed and are
being worked to their utmost capac
ity.
| One of the largest smelter produc
ers in the field said yesterday:
MANY inquiries about the high
price Of spelter are put to me daily
In reply to them l can only say thai
before the war the United States pro
duced and consumed one-third of the
total worlds supply, while at present
the whole burden practically falls
upon this country alone. While the
European demand has increased, II
must be borne in mind that the do
nestle demand still continues and
with the additional orders for wal
material coming for cartridges, etc.
the requirements CT users Of speltel
in this country must have necessarily
been of larger volume"

BIG EXPLOSION At
NATIONAL CAP TAL
BOMB OR INTERNAL MACHINE
WRECKS RECEPTION ROOM
ON EAST SIDE.
NO ONE SEVERELY I'M URED
Deed Believed to Be That of Crank
Who Desired to Create Sensation
Report Heard Mile Away-Part
Of Ceiling and Walls Fall.

Washington.--A tremendous explo
sion, believed to have been eau sed by
some kind of bomb or internal ma
chine, wrecked the public reception
room on the east side of the capitol
building shortly before midnight July
| 3. No one was injured.
Part of the ceiling and side walls
of the room were blown down, a huge
mirror and a crystal chandelier shat
tered and the doors blown open. One
of the doors led into the office Of the
vice president and is said not to have
been opened in 40 years.
Officials believe that the explosive
was placed by crank, who desired to
create a sensation. Visitors we're al
lowed in the room during the day and
timed machine might have been left
without attracting attention.
SmelIed Burned Powder.
Persons who reached the capitol
soon after the explosion occurred said
they noticed what smelled like burn
ed powder which persisted Is or 20
minutes. Elliott Woods, superintend-
ent of the capitol building, Sergeant
at Arms Higgins of the senate and
the head of the capitol police who d.
rected the inquiry, refused to give any
theory of the cause of the explosion
until the investigation was completed.
The capitol had been closed since
dark and no one was in the building
except the few watchmen on duty and
telephone operators.
Report Heard Mile OFF.
The report could be heard for a
mile and in a few minutes crowd Of
excited people had gathered on the
east plaza.
| No trace could be found of an ex-
ploded bomb nor of anything else that
might have caused the blast.

Why Men Eat More Than Women.

reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have smaller proper.

WHEN IS A SUIT BELTED?

that it is a belt, even if it does not
perform its restraining mission.
Sport Suit Becoming Street Costume
The beltless belt is a feature of the
new sports suits. The front-fastened,
medium wide short skirt, with its ac-
companying Norfolk jacket, is, by the
way, becoming the street uniform Of
the woman who finds life too serious
for sport. But she approves the garo
which golf and kindred diversions
have brought into vogue, and she es-
pecially likes the belt Of her serge,
covert or tweed suit because IL drops
inches below her waist line and IS as
loose as any portion Of the garment
which It encrcles.
The idea of this desultory sort Of
girdle might have been borrowed from
that on a topcoat popular decade or
so ago, but now utterly obsolete. In
the place Of it is the all-envelopl ne
coat, belted, to be sure, but at the
sides only. The girdle does not cross
the front. and what it does at the rear
is problematical, because IL is lost
under a half shawl-shaped cape, which
covering the back 10 the ankles, looks
quaint 70 a degree. Certainly no one
walking behind coat OF this type n
velour de laine. finished with mohair
braid and astraehan collar. would sus-
peet that a fve-inch broad belt crossed
its sides, nor that those really unneees-
sary bands concealed pockets.

BY LUCY HUFFAKER.

wv HERE do the children Of Fifth
w av. and the adjacent upper
East Side play?
Perhaps if you had ever asked your
self that question seriously you might
have done what Miss Alma Guy did.
She has started playground for the
children of the rich at 50 West Goth
ST. She did so because it seemed to
her that it was the rich child, not the
poor one, who had no chance to play.
Down on the lower East Side, where
Miss Guy did settlement work for
years. there were Fairgrounds, with
send piles and swings and "teeter-tot-
tiers" and parallel bars and other fas-
chatting things like that. The boy who
lives in Hester ST. and the girl who
lives in Rivington have places pro-
vided for them to play. But the child
who lives on Fifth av. or on Madison
where does he play?
There are, so Miss Guy says, many
poor little rich children" who don't
know how to play at all. Il is for them
that she decided to open a playground.
To Charlotte Patterson, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Stuart Patterson,
$50 East 62d ST., should be given the
credit for suggesting this interesting
playground to Miss Guy. The fact that
Charlotte was only two and half
years old when she was the cause OF
inspiration should not be held against
her. She was the first play patron OF
Miss Guys, and she loved it so that
Miss Guy bethought herself of all the
other children of the rich who had no
place to play. The playground is the
result.
Did Not Know How TO Play.
at almost startled me- said Miss
Guy. answering questions about her
novel work, "when Mrs. Patterson told
me last spring that Charlotte did not
know how to play. 1t seemed to me
enc of the most terrible things | had
ever heard Why, what do children do
unless they play? That is the ono
thing they are meant to do. They can't

If necessary.
1--WE have an indoor room where
the children play when the weather is
too bad. That isn't often, however
for one great value of play is that II
should be out in the fresh air. In cold
weather the children are warmly clad
and the exercise keeps them warm
But on rainy days we go inside.
ut is wonderful how the children re-
spond to play. They forget their shy

do that. You know, don't you, that
wise saying, Play is the business Of
childhood? There never was truer

natural are good at their own bust

So it is that Miss Alma Guy has de-
cided TO be promoter of the business
of childhood. She is investing her
time and interest and all her belief
in the inaienabe right OF human be-
ings to be happy, in seeing to It tnat
children. even if they are rich, have a
