The extraordinary demand for this
metal In the manufacture Of open
hearth steel. and the curtaIlment OF
available foreign resources. has led
TO a crisis.
The imports OF ferr0-m -manganese
have declined from an average OF
1917 tons monthly In 1915 to 2,7t7
tons In last June. The require
ments OF the steel industry amounts
to $4,000 tons.
The shortage is so acute and ser
lous In the United States that the
alloy committee OF the council OF
national defense has issued a warn
Ing TO the steel-makers to adopt
every possible means to recover OF
manganese BY the re-melting OF Stag
and the substitution OF splegeieisen

sngscsted. This unexpected develop.

OF means to meet this or worse con-
tIngency.
A hope OF possible solution lies In
the conversion OF our immense de-
posits OF valuable Iron ores In south
ern Oregon into a carbon man

duction does not meet the require
ments. The electric furnace may
solve the problem. With 40 per

agemeni, The thread Of instruction
and education runs through the cn-
tire network. Humor Is provided In
each and every program. Music OF
the heart and home is given as we'll

the pure and classical There Is wit.
There is logic There is food for
thought. There Is a practical plan
for community development and
betterment. There Is a world OF Joy,

the opportunity Of meeting and
greeting friends and neighbors Above
all. there is drama OF heart interest
