ment of the Pasttme Theater upon
two picture plays, presented recently,

selection Ia the choice OF What his
child may er may not see, but in a
small town like ours with only one
picture show, the child. the maid, the
youth, the man and woman or older
years must all hook at the same reels,
or stay at home II Ia needless TO say
that the stay ai home" plan Is not at

indeed with the older ones, who though

PR0FITABLY TREATING SLA(

Plttsburg, Pa, May IA process for
extracting ferro alloys OF manganese
and silica from Stag which, it is
claimed will result in an immense
saving to steel manufacturers has
been discovered by George A. Hays,
OF Sewickly. Pa. and G. D. Alain. of
Elmira, N. Y, students at the Carns-
gle institute of Technology.
Ferro manganese and silica are es-
sential elements in the manufacture
Of steel, but since the start of the Eu-
ropean war both have greatly advanced
in price, the former from SIS to $500
a ton. As a result of the process, Stag
which has always been practically a
waste product, will now become of
commercial value.
