SHIPPING SCRAP IRON.

Freight equipment of railroads is
being heavily taxed with shipments of
scrap iron, steel, brass and other base
metal most of which is consigned to
the big iron works about San Fran.
cisco.
The Northern Electric reports num-
erous shipments of scrap from up.
valley points. The Southern and
Western Pacific and Oakland, Antioch
and Eastern also report numerous
shipments of this kind.
The Southern Pacific and Western
Pacific shops have been practically
cleared of scrap. 1t is the general
opinion this scrap is being used in the
manufacture of munitions of war and
for boat ballast.
Time was when buyers of scrap in
the Southern Pacific shops inspected
every piece as 1t was loaded. Today,
1t is said, every piece is eagerly >ac.
cepted without question. Daily buyers
work out OF Sacramento buying scrap
A buyer was heard to regret he had
only been able to obtain 10000 pounds
of scrap that day.
Prices for this material have scared
and not alone are the railroads realiz.
Ing considerable from the sale of this
waste material. bit they are making
much money hauling the scrap.
While the most of the scrap has
gone to San Francisco, some ship
ments have been made to the east

AMERICANS REBUILD
A FRENCH VILLAGE

Vitrimont, France, (via Paris, Dec.
20.)-This village, which, like its
neighbor Gerbeviller was DESTROYED
early in the war; will have the honor
of being the first village reconstructed
in France and this is due to American
enterprise and generosity. The re-
building is already underway. the cor
nerstone of the first group of houses
having been laid Sunday by the Amer
lean am AMBASSADOR, William Graves
Sharp.
Mrs. William H. Crocker of San
Francisco, who has furnished the funds
the practical realization of her work
She was represented by Miss Daisy
Polk of San Francisco, known in the
community as Miss One of U.s." who
is experimenting the work. Old men
and youths unfit for military service
are being employed on the building
operations. Miss Folks task is not
without difficulty such as often con-
front American building contractors.
She has had her first strike in the last
week, that of masons, who sought
higher wages. but she succeeded in set
Ting the matter.
The cornerstone laying was an event
in Vitrimont. The American flag be-
side the tri-color of France was in
evidence here and there and despite
the gloominess of the destroyed village
there was a manifest feeling of, joy
that its restoration after original plans
would soon be seen.
