Two Billion Bricks a Year.

At the annual meeting of the Amer. ican Ceramic society, J. B. Shaw of Alfred, N. r., told of some very sue cessful tests he had made in making paving brick from blast furnace slag. These bricks were worth about $35 per thousand in 1915. They may be successfully made of almost any blast furnace slag at a cost of $5 to $7 per thousand. He figures that there is at present available about 16,O00OOO tons of slag annually in the United States, after leaving 100000 tons for cement manufacture. This would provide 2,000,000,00 bricks for permanent good roads every year-say, for 1000 miles annually of 50-foot road.
 Time and again failure has been en- countered in the effort to make paving brick in this manner, but the problem seems to be fairly well worked out now. The slag must be treated hot as 1t comes from the furnace, and the brick must be heated out of contact with air or steam lest it become brittle. Ellwood Hendrick.

MR. SUDDS SPEAKS By KEITH KENYON.

Mrs. Van Kreeper, elegant in rfeh black silk, drew on her gloves prepara- tory to mornings shopping. Outside the big stone house a dove-gray car, with two men in doye-gray livery, waited before the steps.
 Then something occurred to the mis- 1 tress of all this magnificence and she pressed a bell. "Send Mir. Sudds to me, Hutchson.
 When the private secretary ap- peared she sat down. I've just thought of something, Sudds, and 1 guess I'll get 1t off my mind before I go out. Take that chair there !'
 He obeyed.
 ''It's about Miss Joanna. She Is con- ing today, Sudds.'
 "Yes, Mrs. Van Kreeperl'
 Its a little difficult for me to ex- press exactly what 1 want you to do, but 1t amounts to this: Her grandfa- ther and myself want her to get mar ried. Her parents, you know, are both dead, and the earlier she marries I the better, for we are not going to live forever and there are settlements to be made and so on.
 "Now, I've tried to talk marriage to her and so has my husband, but she just laughs at us. So have been thinking that if you would put the gravity of the situation rr to her, show her the business side of it and her duty to us, it might bring the desired result. And incidentally there are two young men you might mention. One is Reginald Crecy, the other Houghton Vance. Either one would be accept able to us. They have family and money and all that. You understand"
 Joanna came. The house was alive and astir with new life before she en- tered the door. Youth, beauty, vital ity and a certain quality of incorrigi- bility that was irresistible came with her.
 She changed her clothes and, trilling a tune as she came downstairs, she stuck her head into the small office off the library.
 Hello, Suddsy!'
 "How do you do, Miss Joanna?'
 "Oh, just call me Joanna"
 "But Mrs. Van Kreeper would"
 "Oh, can Mrs. Van Kreeper. Yes, I know she would, Sudds. So don't do it when she's around. When there's just you and me, though, you do as 1 say. I'm going to call you Billy"
 "Oh, Miss I mean Joanna. What would Mrs. Van"
 "Never mind, Sudds. I mean Billy. Come on out and show me the new shrubbery and the last batcn of pup pies and everything. Let those let ters go."

Nuts Make Good Substitute For Meat in the Diet, Says
 Domestic Science Expert.

The food value of nuts is usually sunderestimated. Nuts are rich in both protein and fat and may be used as a meat substitute in the diet, according to Miss Alice Skinner, instructor in domestic science in the Kansas State Agricultural college.
 Nuts should be regarded as staple article of food whose constituents are in a concentrated form," said Miss Skinner. 'In using nuts as a meat substitute 1t is best to combine them and some starchy food of considerable bulk with a milk sauce. When they are used in bread or in combination with vegetables and salads they should be finely ground to make the consti- tuents more easily digested.
 Nuts that are most available on the average market are peanuts, black walnuts, English walnuts, chestnuts epecans, Brazil nuts, and hickory nuts. These nuts are found on the market in several different forms principally as nut meats, nut oils, nut meals, and as blanched and white nuts.
 Nuts should be included in the diet at least once or twice a week for adults, but should be used sparingly in the diet for children because the food is in such concentrated form. They may be used in both cooked and nncooked dishes--salads, candies, breads, cakes, custards, buildings, and baked dishes"

SiQnboards in Japan.

It Is not known when the signboards first came into use in Japan, but pre- sumably it was not long after the in- troduetion of writing, though that would not be necessary among peo- pie where pictures and designs pre- ceded ideographs representing them. Indeed, Japanese writing, like Chinese, consists of signs rather than express sions of sound, says T. Nakayama, M. Coligny writes in the Cincinnati En- quirer. The national ideographs are for the eye rather than the ear; to be seen rather than to be heard.
 There is no mention in Japanese his- tory of the fact that in the reign of Emperor Godaigo (1319-1339) each gov ernment official set up door plate sig nifying his name and occupation, which may be regarded as the first mention of signs in Japan.

sidewalk almost to the curb. There are no regulations about the hours at which drinks may be served in Algeria, for the war is far away and the garden of Africa is for those who are sent to rest, to forget the war for a while, for the convalescents and for those who stop a few days or few weeks between service in Macedonia or Egypt or wherever else the world of war may send them.
 There are French sailors in Gran, too, for Gran Is Frances nearest naval port to the Straits of Gibraltar, and the great amphitheater harbor so full of ships of commerce, whose enlarg- ed wharves are piled with stacks of grain and acres of wine casks, Is also an important naval base.

FRENCH IN ALGERIA
Have More Troops in Gran Than
 Any Town in France.
Streets Are Full of Soldiers in Pictur- esque Costumes, Including Arabs in Their Flowing White
 Garments.

There are more French soldiers to be seen in Gran than in any town in France. Those in France are at the front or in the points of concentration near the front. They are there right enough, but one does not see them at the front-because they are in the trenches. But in Algeria it is differ- ent. The streets are full of soldiers; 1; so the cafes, the street cars, the stores, the docks, the public gardens. The of- ticial figures give the population of Gran at 130,000. To the casual visitor there seem to be at least half as many soldiers besides.
 And they are all French-French or French colonial, not allied troops. Besides. the casual familiar army types, tffere is every kind of exotic fighting man, including native troops from Indo-C China, looking more like Japanese than anything else, and uni formed as ordinary French colonials of the line. There are the Zouaves, with their baggy red brooches and khaki puttees now O days, instead of the white gaiters of the old parade days before the war. Their short, black-braided jackets, sashes and blouses, however, are unchanged. There are the Chasseurs d'Afrique- the African light cavalry-with sky blue uniforms and red fezes, the most elegant of French military horsemen.
 More gorgeous, however, are the "tirailleurs," the sharpshooters, equal ly in sky-blue uniforms, faced with yellow, and also wearers of fezes. On active service this magnificence is SUD- planted by khaki and khaki fezes upon which star and crescent indicate that the wearer is follower of the prophet. More characteristic of the country are the "spahis" is"-Mohammedan troops, of ficered by Frenchmen. They wear flowing scarlet cloaks and the soldiers wear turbans and native costumes; the officers, unequal to coping with the turban, content themselves with feZes, but sacrifice nothing of the resplendent scarlet cloak. The most picturesque, and the most numerous, are the "goums," the Arab cavalry regiments raised by the Arabs themselves. They wear the flowing white garments, the "bournous" of the desert.s
 At tea time any sunny afternoon the Boulevard Seguin, the principal street of Gran, is crowded with these uni- forms and more besides. The terasse of the Cafe Continental hasn't va cant table, and the tables cover the

 Sudds found his tongue after a while. "She wants you to marry them, Miss Joanna. I meaE .Ionana-Jo..
 Mercy! l couldn't do that. I'd get cross-eyed trying to keep an eye on each of them at the same time.''
 Well, she wants you to marry one of them. guess she doesn't care which."'
 "Oh, just one!"

And Houghton hasn't enough brains to go in out of the rain and he's sick in bed most of the time Be sides, they both drink like fishermen. You don't want me to marry them, do you, Billy?

 Something in her voice made him tern sharply. They were alone in the heart of the shrubbery.
 .'Jo, Jo, dear! Look at me-
 She turned her eyes full upon him, then dropped them quickly.
 T love you, Jo," he cried eagerly. "Tell me, will you marry me, dear est?'
 Yes, Billy, dear. I thought you never, never would speak for your self" she sighed happily as he gath cred her into his arms.
