DISCOVERY OF GREAT VALUE
Wcrk Of Pittsburgh Men Means Much
In the Future Of Aluminium
Manufactures.

G. e. Skinner and l.. w. Chubb Of
the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring company Of Pittsburgh have
perfected an insulating skin for alumni
mum SO thin and flexible as to make
small aluminium wire as economical Of
space in coils as copper. According
to tho Engineering News. they havo
produced two kinds Of films. One Is
smooth and iridcscent; the other,
white and abrasive. or these, tho
second is the better. for it Is only
.0001 to .0004 OF an inch thick. and
stands from 200 to 500 volts. Two
wires can be pressed together until
they arc indentcd without breaking
the film; but rubbing will expose the
metal, and make short circuit. Tho
film Is fireproof, and has mechanical
strength enough to support the wire
in small coils above the melting point.
To coat the wire with the film. 1t is
passed through electrolytic baths ESQ.

or sodium silicate)-a process in
which tho wire itself acts as tho

TO. RoNoR WIFE OF BOONE
Daughters Of American Revolution
WiIl Place Tablet at Grave
Of Pioneers Wife.

The state conference Of the Daugh.
ters OF the American Revolution Of
Missouri will be held in st. Louis the
last week In October and directly aft
erward, on October 20, tho Daughters
will place marker on the site in
Warren county, where Daniel Boone
and his wife, Rebecca, were buried.
The daughters have been inde.
fatigable in their efforts to place
markers at all historic spots in the
state, and will continue the good
work. 1t is oil very we'll for the men
who blazcd the way and the men who
fought for their country's honor and
well-being to be remembered in this
way, but sometimes 1t seems as IL one
would like to hear Of society, a
vanguard Of peace, as 1t we're, that
would mark the deeds OF the real he
roes Of the world, those kindly, unpre.
tentious persons in the modern equiv.
alent Of fustian, who rover blazon
forth their heroic efforts In any way.
There are thousands Of mothers, de-
priving themselves Of all the good
things in life that their children may
have an education. The president of
a college told me once that in q far.
away New England town his mother
had just died. He could not go to
tho funeral, and, while 1t possibly was
being held he told me something Of
what his mother had been to him.
She was left with poor little New
England farm" he SAL, "and four
sons. She sent each OF us to college,
and l don't understand to this day
how she did it."
Every woman can imagine how she
did it, how sho worked and shaved
early and late, and saved the money
that was the means Of giving each of
her boys what tho proud New England
woman considered tho greatest thing
she could give them, an education,
and n real one, with college degree

SPRING ONION POINTERS
Some Practical Suggestions About
How and When to Plant Seeda
and Sets for Best Onions.

Onions may be grown in spring from
seed or from sets. However, spring
planting Of seed Is not generally so
satisfactory and sets are recommend
cd for the man who neglected to plant
in fall and who wants early onions
For best results with seed. plant
them in October. In order that the
plants may become established before

The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1916-03-08

In announcing the expected arrival
several weeks ago Of Miss van Buren,,
the specialist in civic improvements.
The Advertiser stated that she was
coming under the auspices Of The
Wednesday club 1t appeared later,
however that she was to come under
the auspices Of the dormant" Civic
League. Now that the lady has come
and gone, there seems to be left in her
wake not only what the good church
brethren term a "Quickened" interest
in civic affairs but a difference Of
opinion as to who was responsible for
the lady's visit. AS the Advertiser was
partly responsible for the situation
or problem, whichever it might be
called. we beg to say that the Civic
League is due the crcdi; for it all.
