The former record for rebuilding blast furnace at the Ensley furnaces was Az days, which was accomplished several years ago. Two shifts were kept pussy day and night so that the furnace could be completed in given time. Since No. has been rebuilt 1t is producing an average of APO tons of iron per day, which is more than it has ever produced be- fore The same shifts that finished No. 4 are busy rebuilding No. blast furnace. Ten rings of the No. furnace will have to be rebuilt, and the work men are going after world record as from all indications the furnace will be rebuilt in 32 days. It is also rumored that several other blast furnaces will be rebuilt as soon as they can be reached The rush in rebuilding the furnaces IS due to the large number of orders that the company has on hand and is unable to fill.

INDIANS INCREASING
TOTAL NOW $4,000
REDMEN NO LONGER DYING
RACE; ARE BECOMING
PRODUCERS.

Chicago.-The race of Indians is no
longer dying race, Cato Sells, United
States commissioner on Indian affairs,
announced here today ON his return
from an inspection trip through
western Indian reservations. There
are more Indians in the country, he
said, than there have been at any time
since the bureau of Indian affairs
was established.
"a vigorous health campaign was
begun among them three years ago
and has brought amazing results. The
Indian is becoming a producer of
wealth instead of mere consumer. !"
There are 100000 Indians in twen-
ty-four states, settled on eighty res
ervations, Mr.. Sells said. The death
rate has been reduced and births are
increasing, he said. The wealth of the
Indians is about $900,000,000, and
includes 60,000,000 acres of land.

PARIS PAPER SAYS
DOLLAR REPLACED
POUND IN EUROPE

Paris.-Max Hoschiller, in an arti-

Americas financial position now in
respect to foreign countries with what
it was before the war. The article
says:
"Then the United States was send
ing to Europe from $200,000,000 to
$300,000,000 in interest on it's bor-
rowings, $150,000,000 to $200,OO0,000
spent by tourists, $100,000,00O to
$150,000,000 to expatriates and $780,
100000 to $40,000,000 in ocean
freights.
'Since the war the United States
has imported $730,000,000 in gold and
has paid back a considerable amount
of it's previous borrowings, increased
it's foreign trade by $2,250,000,000
yearly and loaned to foreign countries
81, 470, 100000 so that the dollar now
has replaced to considerable extent
the old sovereignty of the English
pound abroad.'

room in University hall is a pressing
need, according to Mrs. K. W. Jane
son, the new dean Of women. The
office of Mrs. Jameson is in the pres
ent rest room, but under this ar
rangement the dean lacks the privacy
needed for her work as advisor to the
girls and the girls themselves do not
have the liberty they should have.
The room besides is insufficiently
equipped, being without the conven-
fence even of running water. This
works hardship upon the women who
live in town and do not return for
lunch.
