the residue.
There seems little doubt that the
briQuetting and the production OF gas
from ignite will in the near future be
put on a commercially satisfactory
basis in this state. While this will
prove of great value to all parts of
our state, 1t will be especially impor-
tant to those communities nearest the
great Ignite deposits in the western
portion Of the state, for in some of
these the westes can be converted into
electricity which in turn can be sent
to surrounding towns and villages,
thus distributing power and light
from numerous power plants. Such
an arrangement will not only be a
great saving Of our fuel resources,
but will also result in establishing
many industries which can be devel-
oped by abundant and cheap electric
power. s.tS -. --s d. Il. 'e5.
Clay. 49,. ..:.. 49,.
Among the mineral resources
or the state the clays are sec
ond only in extent and economic val
ue to our coal deposits. North Da-
kota is remarkably we'll supplied with
q variety of valuable clays suited to
the manufacture Of many important
products. These deposits are quite ex-
tensfve. especially in the western por-
ton Of the state, and many of them
fields. a fact which will greatly en-
nance the value Of both deposits. :.
There is, an, unusually large number
OF varieties of clays found in this
state, ranging from common brick
clay to deposits suited to the produc-
ton of very high-grade art pottery.
A great deal of work has been done
at the school of mines in the testing
of these clays and in making them in 1
to a variety OF products for which
they are found adopted, such as brick,
terracotta, paving brick, and other re-
fractory materials, drain tile, stone
ware, sewer pipe, earthenware, and
the higher grades of art pottery
Any one who has seen the remark
able variety Of splendid clay products
and exceedingly high grade and beau
tiful pottery which is being produced
in the experimental laboratories at the
school Of mines and which was on ex-
hibit at the Panama Pacific exposition
in San Francisco has been convinced
of the rare quality and great possiL IL
tiles in the development of the clay
beds of western North Dakota. This
state is one Of the great clay states
Of the union and because of the re-
markable variety, character and high
grade Of these deposits, they are des-
tined in the future to become the
source Of a great variety Of important
clay industries.
The following analysis will serve as
an illustration Of the exceptionally
high character of some OF the white
earthenware clays Of North Dakota:

The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-01-26

By comparing this analysis with
that OF the North Dakota white earth
enware clay it will be seen that the
sample of North Dakota clay, as dug,
is very pure and that there is strik-
ing similarity in comparison to that
of the artifcially prepared pottery
mixture referred to. And, as might
be expected. many Of the high grade
clays yof this character from the state
are capable of producing pottery, sew
er pipes, stoneware jugs. jars and 9TH
er clay products of exceptionally high
quality. Few people appreciate the
remarkable character of many of the
clays OF western North Dakota and
the important part they are to play in
the future development OF the state.
The proper development and utili-
cation Of the great coal and clay de-
posits of North Dakota and the use
of Ignite for the production of cheap
power and electricity by the introduce
ton of by-product gas and briquett-
ing plants, and by other means of
utilizing these resources, will result
in saving large sums of money for the
people Of this state and in the intro
duction Of variety of manufacturing
industries, a condition which will add
greatly to the stability and prosperity
OF a region already well known for
it's agricultural resources and posi-
bilities. tr

AS VIII be seen by referring to the
above analysis, some of the clays of
North Dakota are Of unusual purity
and also are remarkable in having a
composition, in their natural state,
very similar to many of the artificial

teries, which have been built UP to
their proper composition, often by the
use of several mixtures. For example

REAL ROOF GARDEN

just off Fifth Avenue.
The kitchen ell in this case was fully forty
feet long and fifteen feet wide. After the tiny
garden we had just left this looked, as Letitia
put it, "as big as all outdoors"
There were not only boxes all along the
edges, but there were large square ones stand
ing out in the open-frst cousins to the set
flower beds in a real garden. These were all
filled with luxuriant, almost tropical, foliage.
We soon discovered the reason for this; they

and wicker table.

cupboards were an electric percolator, toaster
and small electric stove, and in the other were
china and glass and silver. The drawers also
contained the table linen.

There were two folding cot beds, with valances
and covers of burnt orange linen. Between
these beds was another electric outlet in wealth

in the lattice leading to this bedroom we placed
a bay tree in a blue-grcen tub.
THE DINING ROOM on THE ROOF
In the middle Of the space in front of the
veranda we had stone fountain set up, the
water pipe coming from the bathroom below.
This was not only ornamental, but it provided
water for cooking purposes as well. Back Of
this we placed marble seat, with bay tree
in a stone urn on either side.
The space in the front of the roof, beyond
the veranda, was taken up by an iron table
painted bluey green, covered with an umbrella,
blue-green on the top and burnt orange un'
derneath and surrounded by little bluey-green
iron chairs. There we're also smaller tabs
and several hour-glass chairs. Burnt Orange
baskets filled with vines hung from the roof
of the veranda, and altogether it looked very
gay and inviting.

look on her usually placid face.

HOW TO GET SPECIAL TRAINING FOR WAR SERVICE

Department of Foods and Cookery, School
of Practical Arts, Teachers College.
Applicants for any one of these course should
register at Desk E, Secretary's Office, Teach
ers Club.
A still more intensive campaign will be inau-
gurated May u. Two courses of three weeks
each, in emergency lessons will be given, the
object being to train leaders of various groups.
These courses are open to the public as we'll
as to students Of Teachers College.
The benefit of this work will in all proba-
bility be reaped in every state in the Union,
because almost all the states are repre-
sented in Teachers College. The students
taking these special courses do so with the
definite purpose of returning to their own
home towns trained and equipped to render
skilled service to the nation.
And throughout the whole country similar
courses Of training can be installed in schools
and colleges, immensely multiplying and has
tening the enrolment of skilled workers need
cd for the war.
No service just now is greater than that
which trains quickly and thoroughly the men
and women who are anxious to serve their
country, but can do nothing that is really
needed. The call is for trained workers n
meet every variety of public need; not for those
who are merely willing to do something il only
they could find out what to do and knew how
TO do 1t. The training given in classes such as
these will go long way toward increasing our
national efficiency.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-05-06
/ HANY women who wish to bear their
vi full share in the great national pre-

AVA paredness movement are handicapped
either by lack Of skill or by lack Of definite
knowledge Of the work that is most needed.
To meet both Of these requirements special
courses of training are being given at Teach
ers College, Columbia University, at fees
which merely cover the actual cost Of materials
used.
The authorities at Columbia realize that
many Of the specially trained workers now en-
ployed in hospitals, social service, visiting
nurses associations, etc, will very soon nc
called into active service. The work they leave
must be done by the comparatively unframed
women who are left at home.
These women are more than willing to do
their part in the hospitals, homes and nurseries
in order that the skilled workers may be re-
leased for service at the front, but II they are
to be Of real use they must learn what to do.
This once learned, they are fitted not only TO
take the places of skilled workers who are
needed at the front, but TO go TO the front
themselves in case Of need.
Therefore the School Of Practical Arts,
Teachers College, has organized the following
special courses:
