Welding Compounds.

Welding liquids are not considered
so good as the preparations In the
powder form, with the possible excep-

chloric acid which is used by timers.
A very good compound may be made
as follows:
To 20 parts of iron filings add 10
parts borax, 1.5 parts sal ammonlac
and one part Of a resinous oil (bal-
sam of copaiba may be used).

Estate OF Eccentric Irishwoman.

A very eccentric lady died in County
Meath, says a London correspondent.
After the lady's death no will could
be found, and it was thought she had
died intestate. The solicitor for the
person believed to be next Of kin spent
about 40 days In the house going
through the most extraordinary ac-
emulation Of papers, documents and
valuable property that filled the rooms
in the house and even the hall. Not
only every room, but every corridor
was piled high with loose papers,
books and parcels Of all sizes and de-
scriptions, and the litter on the stairs
was almost knee deep. Various sums
of money were found in very peculiar
and unlikely places; in rubbish on the
floors, in band boxes, and in a purse,
and two bank notes for FL were actu-
ally found glued to the floor. The
lawyers recovered an immense amount
of property, including $1,000 in bank
notes and securities of every kind.
They also discovered the lady's will,
under which various charities much
benefited.

BRIDGE Has Trestle in Center.

A bridge has recently been COM
pleted by the Burlington railroad
across the Platte river at Yutan, NeD.,
which has girders at either end, while
the center is trestlework. This unus-
ual form of bridge construction is de-
scribed in the Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. At Yutan the stream often
oyerhows, becoming over half mile
wide, and in winter destructive ice
Jams have formed on it. With a
view to providing bridge strong
enough to resist the ice and yet not
excessive in cost, the width OF the
Platte was decreased at this point
from 1000 feet to about 1880 feet by
building an embankment on one slde.
This intensified the two currents that
flowed near the two banks and auto
matically deepened their channels, so
that the ice was more easily carried
off in spring. The two current beds
were spanned by girders placed on
piers, set Is feet apart, while between
these there was built trestle 700 feet
long.

HERE IS SOME NEWS
FOR YOUR READERS!

Every one has been eating prac-
tically the same kind of sea food for
years. Lobsters, oysters, mackerei,
halibGt, founders, pike, and so on. 1t
has apparently been accepted tina:
there are no other edibel sea foods.
In our November issue, however, a
writer makes the amazing statement
that whale has been eaten on the Pa
cifc Coast and that it tastes like beef;
that Holland eats 65,OOO,000 pounds OF
sea mussel year; that goosehsh Is
as nourishing as sirloin steak; and
that bowfn melts in your mouth like
butter.
The reason these fish are not known
is because there is no demand for
them. They are cheaper than meat
and in these times will mean a saw
ing Of money on the table. Let your
readers know what the ocean has III
store for them.

WAR PLANTS ARE REGULATED
There Has Been Very Little Direct
Management of Business by Great
Britain and France, However.

Contrary to the common understand
ing in the United States there has
been very little direct management OF
business by the governments Of Great
Britain and France in those countries
since the war began, according to q
report on "the relation of the govern
ment to war industry" made to the
National Civic federation by Prof. Jer-
emiah w. jerks.
There has been, however, Professor
jerks explains, rather strict regula-
ton of industries producing or hand
ling war supplies, but virtually no di-
rect management of business outside
the regular government arsenals and
certain special factories, few in num-
Der, built by or for the British gov
ernment. The power given the Brit
ish government under the defense of
the realm act is outlined in the report
as follows:
''To require any work in any factory
or workshop to be done in accordance
with the directions of the government.
'To regulate or restrict the carry
ing on Of work in any factory or work
shop or to remove the plant.
"To take possession Of any unoccu-
pied premises for war purposes.
'In actual practice, the government
gets it's work done:
"By paying liberal prices to estab-
lishments for all work done while
guarding against pnonopolistic or other
extortionate prices.
'By restricting or forbiddlng the
making of certain classes of goods
not needed for war purposes.
"By prescribing rigidly the order In
which the various classes Of work are
to be finished and delivered.
"By regulating through various re-
strictions the distribution Of the sup
ply Of labor and the conditions under
which work shall be done.
"While the government does not di-
rectly manage establishments" Pro-
fessor jerks says, ut does tell what to
do, determine the order of work, con"
troll transport Of goods and materials
in proper order, forbid workmen who
are needed for production of muni.
tions to enlist and forbid trade except
under license.
"These regulations" he says, "are
enforced by a committee Of subordi-
mates acting in a friendly way by
unanimous agreement. Their deci-
sions are on disputed questions laid
before them, and are subject to an ap-
peal to their superior officers. Their
classifcations may be put into effect
by employers or contractors subject
likewise to an appeal. Disputes Of all
kinds regarding prices, wages and con-
ditions Of labor are settled by COM
mittees representing all parties"

Columbia, Oct. 19-In proclama-
nation issued today designating Wed
nesday, October "a, as Liberty Day
throughout South Carolina, Governor
Manning calls on all business houses
to be closed the afternoon of that day,
requests mayors, liberty loan organ

monstrations on that day, and urges
every citizen to contribute heartily 70

follows:
Governors Proclamation.
"Our country is carrying on
mighty campaign in behalf of the se;-
ond issue of the liberty loan. Its sue
cess is so vital to our nation that 1t
is the imperative duty of every Cit
zen to support it. Buy bond ana
YOU lend your money to the govern
ment With this money the govern
ment will feed, clothe, equip and pay
our soldiers and sailors who are fight
ing in a common cause against a COM
mon enemy-German militarism. Each
dollar you loan to the government n
this crisis is blow to the frightful
cruelty and barbarity of crazed ad-
tocracy, and is a weapon Of defense
for outraged American rights, liberty
and honor.
>.Now, therefore, I, Richard l. Man
ming, Governor of South Carolina IN
accordance with the proclamation OF
the President of the United States, DO
hereby designate Wednesday, OCTOBER
"a, 1917, as Liberty Day throughout
the State of South Carolina.
"I urge that all places OF business
be closed on the afternoon of that day
to the end that all citizens join IN
appropriate, soul-strring ceremonies.
81 do further call upon the Or
carnations promoting the liberty loan
campaign to do everything in their
sower to hold patriotic demonstration
on that day. 1 call upon the mayors
and other governing bodies to assist
such committees in preparing for the
celebrations.
eft is imperative that our govern
ment be given hearty support by each
and every citizen, so that the war can
the sooner be brought to an end IN
effective victory. Our response to the
liberty loan must be so overwhelming
that not only the Imperial German
Government, but also its vast system
of spies and all persons within our
borders who utter disloyal, sedltlous
and reasonable words may know that
we rave thrown our souls into this
war, that our materials, our money
and man power are at the disposal
of our government, and that grim de-
termination fills our bodies, minds
and hearts, to save our rights and Our
honor in a conclusive victory that will
bring safety and peace to the world.

GEN. GOETHALS MAY ASK WILSON
 ID RELIEVE HIM
This Was Persistent RumOr in Washington Despite Other Reports of Ship
 ping Row Clearing

Washington, July 2O.--The shipbuildng TOW showed evidence of important de- velopments beneath the surface today and there were persistent reports that Major General Goethals, manager of the fleet corporation, had asked President Wilson to relieve him of his duties. General Goethals declined to discuss the reports and at the White House it was said Pres ident Wilson knew nothing about them. Chairman Denman of the shipping board declared his differences with General Goethals were rapidly clearing.
 Despite the reports there were indica- tions tonight that the shipping board and General Goethals were nearer together on many points than at any time since the disagreement arose. The suggestion was made that President Wilson may have refused to accept General Goethals resignation and intervened to settle tht controversy General Goethals has ar early morning engagement for tomorrow to see Mir. Denman.
 The report of General Goethals request to be relieved of the shipbuildng task received considerable credence in higi official circles and the silence of Whit House officials was attributed by some tt desire to keep General Goethals at hi: post at all hazards just now when th' nation vitally needs 8 great merchan fleet.

Thrills of Deep-Sea Fishing

Kathleen Hills, in Leslie s.
 What fascination there is in deep sea fishing, I had caught pickerel in Maine, bass in the St. Lawrence, 'tgrunts' galore in Chespapeake bay, mountain lake trout in the Canadian Rockies, salmon in the swirling waters of the Columbia. My largest catch, of which I felt somewhat proud was an Oswego bass, IA pounds in weight, that put up a fair fight for his right to live. Then I tasted the real thrills of deep-sea fishing off the Florida east coast since which time picllerel, trout or bass fishing has had little attrac ton. Perhaps this type of angling re- quires more science in the art of fishing than I have acquired. At any rate it is much more to my liking to conquer 25- pound baracouta that wildly thrashes the water and churns it into foam, its lcng, 1.-the body winding into graceful curves: or to give an hours play to a monster amberjacll and finally reel him in after captive and captor are tired out. Only once does the eternal feminine come uppermost-when the guide drives the gaff home and lifts the catch into the boat. But soon the sportsman's instincts gain tn eupper hand.
 One member of our Florida party was novice visiting Florida to recuperate from lumbago a heritage of the change able, treacherous northern winter As she cast out her line she asked how she would know when she had a catch. We told her there would be little doubt in her mind when the thrilling tug came at the line, and to call Strike quickly when the guide would stop the boat. All was quiet for few moments. Then the be- gnner cried eycitedy: Fish. Fish! Stop the boat.i at the same trying to stop the fish by "thumbing" the line, when a good leather drag was on the reel for the purpose. Sometimes a painful cut results a a powerful fish takes away the line. Fortunately the novice met no such fate.
 Excitement ran rife as she wildly ex- claimed: "A whale whale, know. Oh how it pulls; what shall I do with it2 all the while forgetting that someone else was quietly reeling in her line, while she struggled to hold the rod on the cry side of the boat. It was such a dis appointment to find on her hook only
 little, willful, baracouta, which the guide threw overheard as too small to keep The true sportsman does not destroy fish wantonly or merely to add to the num- Der of his catch
 It is possible, I am told. to arrive at almost the exact weight of big fish by sduaring the girth, multiplying by the estimated length and dividing by S00 One can prove almost anything by arith- metic if only the working rules are known. Such huge catches are rare but the general range of tarpon at Long Key is from 10 to 200 pounds, 100 pounds being about the average. Baracouta range from to 50 pounds the average weight being about pounds. The agile bonefish, which most fishermen vainly strive to catch, range from to 12 pounds. averaging { pounds. Sailfish vary in weight from 20 to 91 pounds, the length ranging from minimum of about Az feet to the maximum on record of s feet inches. With sailfish the weight dces not always average up with the length.
