 While the processes of carborundum manufacture were being perfected an- other lesson was learned. Quartz, you remember, is the geologist's ther- mometer,. for it is formed between narrow ranges of temperature. If the materials from which nature makes it are subjected to more than so much heat, they take on an entirely different character from quartz. The same is true if they are subjected to less than a certain amount of heat.
 "So, also, it is with carborundum In it's manufacture a large quantity of a mixture of coke and sand, with a touch of saWdust and a dash of salt, is put into an electric furnace. A heavy cur rent of electricity is passed through this for IS hours, heating it to 1850 de- grees centigrade.
 If it is properly heated, there forms around the central core of coke a great array of crystals, large and small all most as hard as diamonds. If toe much heat is applied, instead of form ing into crystals, the material breaks up into fine particles of black dust and you have graphite.
 Therefore, largely by the same pro- cess, the electric furnace produces from the same materials the near diamond of the artificial grindstone and the microscopic dust that becomes lead for a pencil, color for ink, base for lubri- cants electrodes for furnaces and , death chairs, or a thousand other things, under the manipulations of in- dustrial science.
 But Niagara bit in behalf of Amer ican arms does not end with the story of abrasives; indeed, it only well be- gins. The story of ferro- silicon is an other illustration of how beauty under

the alchemy of science is transmitted into grim visaged war.
 Last year this country made more steel than the whole world produced when William Mckinley became presi- | dent of the United States. Nearly three-fourth of that steel was made by | the open hearth process, and ferro- 1 silicon was used as a deoxidizer to purify it by driving out the oxygen Furthermore, in the making of big steel castings that alloy is practically in- | diSpensable in the elimination of blow | holes.
 The entire ferro- silicon industry, practically, is centered at Niagara which thus gives pure steel and sound castings as another part of Americas contribution to the cause of Allied vic tory. Every contract for shell steel
 that has been made in two years calls 1 for a content of ferro- silicon
 There is another alloy of iron in- | dispensable in war and well nigh so l in twentieth century peace-ferro- | chromium. This is the alloy which | gives that peculiar hardness to steel l which makes it resistant almost be- yond human conception. It has been | estimated that a modern 14-inch shell. | such as our navy is ever holding in
 readiness for possible dash of q
 German fleet, has a striking moment
 um at distance of eight miles equal
 to the co!liding force of a modern ex-
 press train running It top speed.
 Yet this shell must have nose so
 hard and so perfect that although the
 entire force of the impact is upon it's
 narrow point when it strikes the
 armor plate, it will pierce the plate
 without being deformed itself"

The "Why" is Not Essential

None of what it is all about. Perhaps there is not a man in the United States that knows that There may be in Germany and few in England who know why we fighting, but it is pos sible that in all the world knows. The keen est may be under misapprehension the

Incidentally fighting for the preservation of allies and if that result is attained it will be, so far as concerned, only a by product of the war. It is preservation we are fighting mainly surely that is worth fight ing for It is worth the supreme effort of every on the battle field the field. the wheat field and field in the factory and the mine.

b HOW "THE HATTLE-HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC"
 WAS WRITTEN

In article in the July St. Nicholas Mary R. Parkman tells the life-story Americas most worthy citizens. Julia Ward Howe: The Singer of Nations Song."
 Mrs. Howe said her minister, James Freeman Clarke. why do you not write some really worthy words for that stirring tune?'
 have often wished do so' she replied.
 Let us tell the story of the writing of the ma ton's song her daughters have told it in the biography of their mother:
 Waking in the gray of the next morning as she lay waiting for the dawn the words came to her.
 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord"
 1 " She lay perfectly still. Line by line stanza by stanza, the words came sweeping with the rhythm Of marching feet pauseless, resistless. She saw the long lines swinging into place before her heard the voice of the nation speaking through her lips. She waited till the voice was si.ent till the last line ended; then sprang from bed and groping for pen and paper scrawled in the gray twilight the Battle Hymn Of the Republic"
 And so the nations song born. How did 1t come to that the people it as their own? When it appeared in the'Atlantic Monthly it called {orth Ettle comment the days small chance Tor the poetry of words. But poets in the real world of deeds had seen 1.-the people who were fighting on the nations battle-fields. And again and again it sung and chanted as prayer before battle and trumpet-cal to action. A certain fight ing chaplain who had committed it to memory sang 1t one memorable night in Libby Prison when the 1eyfu tidngs of the victory of Gettysburg had pene trated even those gloomy walls Like a flame the world flashed through the prison Men leaped to their feet shouted, embraced another in frenzy ef joy and triunp; and Chaplain McCabe standing in the middle of the room lifted up his great voice and sang aloud:
 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!"
 Prison rang-with the shout of Glory. glory halle lujah!" !"

The Government and the Mines

The Arizona Labor Journal, under the head of Take Them Over" deals with the copper mining strikes in this and of course with strikes now in progress in other sections of the country. It is proposal the government to take control of the operate them for it's profit and benefit The article is in reply to what the Journal conceives to be an ntimaton by the "capitalistic press" that less labor surrenders the government will take charge of the mines. The Journal is ready for that eventu ality.
 We have not heard that possibility mentioned in the way of an intimidation of labor but move by the for its protection against the results of the present ideness in the mines In that case the mine and not their employees would the chief osers though possibly both would suffer But in any event the government would not be operating the mines for profit but for necessity
 This is by no means the first time have heard from source suggestion for the control of mines and other industries by the government. That has long been a beautiful sociastic dream and it is purpose to say that it may or may not be realized that the country might might not be benefited by realization. Nor considering the causes of present strikes whether they are in the way of conspiracy against the govern ment We may say that we do not believe that that part organized labor which the Journal is supposd represent is engaged in such conspiracy or was ever so engaged. AS a matter of fact that part of organized labor in control of the strike situation is overwhelmed and overshadowed by the w. w.. especially in Globe where even members of the In ternational Union are not allowed to go to work
 We for the present interested only in the terms, the language of the Journals proposition thus set upper letters: Let the government take mines this and operate them for it's profit and benefit and then will the workers, return to work and we will rely the government treating with in peaceable manner to make and regulate satisfactory wage scales and working con- dtons."
 Treating with us" With whom? A new sort of a government to be contemplated to treat with citizens. Our government treats with foreign tions has treated with hostile Indian tribes. In such treaties propositions and propositions are brought together and harmonzed. Our citizens, individually and collectively, with another and reach agreements, but the government treats with tis citizens, individually collectively.

NIAGARA WILL.
 GREAT BEARING
 ISSUES 1T WAR

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.- enlisted for war service is told in q striking communication to the National Geographic society from William
 Joseph Showalter part of which was ! issued today as one of the society's war geography bulletins. MT Showaiter says:
 The story of Niagara's role in the battle of the nations is an epic in the history of war.
 When Niagara power was first de- 1 veloped, efforts to make artificial grinding materials were proving fail ure because of the lack of electric cur rent at price the new venture could afford to pay. Those who backed the | n~ocess thereupon Went to Niagara Falls, set up plant, and founded the artificial abrasive industry. How much it's success means to America cannot be Overestimated
 Take the grinding machinery out of the automobile factories, remove it from the intuition plants, eliminate it 1 from the locomotive works, car found
 ries, and machine shops of the country and you would paralyze the nation S ! whole industrial system. And that would ! have happened before now had not l Niagaras artificial abrasives stepped | into save the day when the war shut
 ont our natural supply of emery and corundum from Asia Minor.
 There is not a bearing in your au i tomobile but is ground on Niagara
 made grindstones; crankshafts are | roughened and finished with them pistons and cylinders are made true, camshafts likewise and hundred crit ical parts of every car, whether of the cheapest or the most expensive make. i It would be impossible to build any 1 thing of tool steel on a commercial basis without Niagara's abrasives. 1 No shell goes to Europe whose nose

YOUR CIVIC DUTY

With the approach of winter and
cold weather, interest in civic orga-
nizations seems to become chilled.
There are many business men who
take an active part in the work OF
our local Chamber of Commerce dur
ing the spring and summer months,
who seem to hibernate with the APP
proach of zero weather. This is
wrong. If there was ever a time
when Glasgow needed the sal lie coun-
sci and united effort of every citizen
it is now.
The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
and Agriculture needs more members
and we hope that these will be Sc
cured. The club deserves the hearth
est support of all of our citizens and
the success of the organization is
closely related to the welfare of each
of us.
The Chamber of Commerce and Ag-
riculture is the dynamo of the bust
ness and community life of Glasgow,
Its sole purpose is to promote the
physical and social progress of the
