Peat Roas Of Ireland.

Ireland possesses 25.000,000 acres Of
peat bog-one-seventh the total area
Of the island. Much of this peat is
concentrated In the center of the coun-
try, In the Bog Of Allen. but there are
also large tracts in other localities.
To utilize this peat. not merely for
domestic use, but also for power pur-
poses, is a problem which has exer-
ciSed the minds of prominent IriShmen
for many years, and the department
Of scientific and industrial research
appointed a committee. with Sir John
Gritiths Of Dublin as chairman to in
vestigate the whole question. Some
successful attempts have already been
made in Ireland to deal with the sub
stance on n commercial basis, but any
efforts to utilize the deposits must al
ways have regard to three circum-
stances-that peat contains and re-
tains a large amount of water; that,
compared with other fuels, it has a
low calorifc value, and that 1t is ex-
tremely bulky, involving Il high cost
of carriage.

Majestically she lowered herself into

The woman began by asking to see
everything that was shown in the win

fill the order. He did. But none of the
shoes were good enough for madam's
dainty foot. AS the day wore on and

half the stock had been laid out for in

Charles, "Are you that rottenY" Which

The clerks gasped. TheSwoman scream

NEW YORK, Aug. g.
More than rs per cent of Am
orleans called for the national
army examinations thus far
claim exemption, according to
reports to United Press from
all parts of the country. Dis
qualifications for physical dis
ability are running higher in
big cities than in smaller towns.
In New York 1927 men out of
5415 examined were found
possibly eligible. Most exemp-
ton claims are based on de
pendents.
The government will inves-
tigate all these. In Chicago it
is indicated 40 per cent will fail
in physical tests. OF the re-
mainder so per cent ask ex-
emption. In Washington only
1856 were accepted after 1851
examinations. The Pacific
coast examinations start next
neew.
