Two Hen Stories.

Il guess, Pat, you haven'th as good
hen here as we have In the States"
said an American on holiday in Ros-
common.
"I'll tell you," said the Yankee,
about hen my mother had. She
went out one day and ate a feed of
corn and returned and laid twelve
eggs. She went out the next day
and ate feed of corn and laid twelve
more eggs. She went out the third
day and returned and laid twelve more
eggs. She went out the fourth day
and Matched seventy-two chicks out of
thirty-two eggs. Now that is the kind
Of hen We have in the States"
"Well," said Pat. I'll tell you about
a half-blind ben my mother had. She
ate feed Of sawdust, thinking it was
oatmeal. She went to her nest and
laid a plank twelve feet long. Again
on the third day she ate more saw
dust and laid another twelve-foot
plank. She sat on the three planks
and Matched three kitchen chairs,
sofa, one table an a mahogany chest
Of drawers. Now" said Pat, with a
twinkle in his eye, "that is the kind
Of hen We have in Roscommon."-

The leagues warning said that at
the beginning Of the war England had
suspended laws limiting the hours of
work even for women employed in war
supplies factories; that the impair
ment Of output in few months led to
an official investigation which in turn
brought radical recommendations re-
garding the limitation of emergency
measures, as a result of which the
weekly day of rest was restored and
the eight-hour shift for women went
into effect in all government NUM-
ton works, and overtime was curtailed
in all establishments. The league made
these recommendations:
1. Preserve short working hours
wherever they exist.
2. Maintain the present minimum
Of sanitation and safety.
8. Keep the children in school. by
means of scholarships where neces-
sary.
4. Uphold the standard Of living for
the family, whether the chief wage
Garner is a soldier at the front or
working on national supplies at home.
The appeal was signed by Mrs.
Florence Kelley. general secretary of
the league, and Miss Pauline Gold
mark, research secretary.

New War Appliance.

A newcomer into the family Of war
apparatus is the MISUNDERSTANDING
airplane. A special platform built
between the planes, just outside the
body of the airplane, carries the mo-
torcycle. The addition of this machine
greatly enhances the effectiveness Of
the airplane and affords quick means
of land travel in case of a shortage Of
gasoline or disability of the airplane
engine. If the aviators who were lost
in the Mexican desert during General
Pershing's expedition had been
equipped with motorcycles thei rreturn
to headquarters would have been a
matter of only few hours instead Of
a three days wait for the searching
party.

Domestic and Foreign Inquiries
Turned Down in Rush to
Supply Government.
PRICES ARE NOT CONSIDERED
Disposes Of Report That Financiers

tim

Pittsburgh.-The vast difference al
which government agencies are en-
abled to buy iron and steel as com
pared to that charged other consum
ers is startling.
During the week the government re
ceived the option of paying $5S ton
for plates and $50 for steel bars and
structural shapes. Deliveries are to
be made Immediately upon receipt OF
specifications at mill. This, in some
instances, will be overnight. This H.
Illustrates how well prepared the mills
are and how rapidly they can turn out
work in emergencies.
The great discrepancy between quo
tations given the government and pri-
vate consumers cannot be made clear
in simple figures. During the past
month Japanese buyers hesitated to
pay &c, or $160 ton for ship plates.
Last week they decided to place the
order when the price was advanced to
10c, or 5000 ton, and producers re-
fused to take the order. The govern
ment is being favored at the rate Of
$50 a ton in building material at the
lowest possible quotation made by
any steel maker. On steel bars the
government will receive an advantage
of S27 ton. While the money con-
sideration is large prompt deliveries
is far more important. The report
that financiers having their money in
vested In manufacturing properties
favored war for the purpose of reaping
financial harvest is disposed of. The
facts are they will suffer great f1nan-
cial loss.
May Supply Allies With Ammunition.
Only the most favored and fortunate
patrons of steel producers have been
able to have orders accepted for fu-
ture delivery since war was declared.
Until government work is disposed of
or scheduled. domestic and foreign or
ders will not be accepted. It would
not be surprising, IL after the confer
ence with BalfOur and representatives
of the entente allies this government
does not take over the handling of
munition contracts for its allies.
Should this be done European coun-
tries will be amazed at the rapidity Of
manufacture in this country. Foreign
governments will also save millions Of
dollars by having this country handle
all contracts for war supplies. and the
day of vast fortunes made in a few
months from this source seems to be
approaching an end.
Refusal of mills to accept orders
for plates have been numerous. One
offer of 1900 tons Of ship plates, q
900 tons of boiler plates, 5000 tons
of ship plates. plates for $50 locomo-
tives for export and a vast amount Of
miscellaneous material has been turn
ed down. Mills are clearing plants Of
everything which might impede prog

STEEL MILLS BUSY ON FEDERAL WORK

reSS on government work. One of the
requirements of the government will
be thousands Of steel ranges for field
use. These are made of heavy sheets
and can be turned out by hundreds
each day. Steel is going forward to
finishing plants for millions of small
shells. 1t is doubtful if this govern
ment will call for many large shells
as they can be made more rapidly than
guns to use them. Quotations Of ship
plates range from $500, Pittsburgh,
for delivery at convenience of mill, to
1Oc.
Inquiries from foreign sources for
large tonnageS Of steel bars have been
turned down by mills.
Gamers Busy on Government Work.
Tin plate makers have received pref
erence in deliveries of tin plate and
sheet bars at request of government
officials. Gamers will be aided in pro-
ducing the largest number Of cans
ever made in the world. FOOdstuff
will be one Of the army and navy's
first requirements and Gamers have
been put on their mettle to supply
1t. Without an adequate supply
of bars they would be unable to meet
the demand. Billets and bars are NOM
inally quoted at $40 to SIS a ton. Mu-
milton makers are inquiring for seven
inch billets In large lots. One COM
pany Is seeking to place an order for
10000 tons Of slabs.
High prices have had q tendency to
check structural work. With the dis
appearance of the prospect of large
profits from government contracts,
manufacturers will not be so anxious
to make extensions. Government steel
will be given first consideration, and
1t will be up to government officials If
there is any tagging in placing specif-
cations with mills. Wire manufactur-
ers have withdrawn from the market.
The American Steel and Wire COM
pany is turning out a large quantity
of wire rope to be made into nets for
harbor protection against submarines.
1t is expected that considerable wire
rope will soon be made for the use Of
mine sweepers, as the Atlantic ocean
Will undoubtedly be sown with a vast
profusion Of mines to wreck ship
ping.

0NE Of the most noteworthy fea.

inently than any other, perhaps, is the
very large number of well-known men

Z When so many well-known people

ments can no longer be doubted.
Thousands have testified that this
famous medicine has completely re-

most skilled medical treatment have

record is that If Mrs. Viola Ives, of 315

Washington. - Before the greater
American army Is raised the council OF
national defense is expected to publish
a list of those trades that can best
spare men for the army, or list of
those which should not deplete their
Industrial forces. The labor committee
of the advisory committee of the coun-
Gil of national defense held a confer
ence in Washington with labor leaders
ana manufacturers at which plans
were formulated for taking stock of
the labor resources of the country.
The United States expects to profit
by the experience of England and
France, where In the rush of raising
the first big armies men were taken
from trades upon which the efficient
conduct of the war depended, and it
was found that the nation would have
been better off If some of the trained
and skilled artisans had remained in
their factories. Also in England there
was letting down of labor regulations
which resulted in such Impairment of
output that the eight-hour day for
women and the universal day of rest
were restored.
In connection with the ascertain
ment of what trades can best spare
men for war, President Ralph Peters

which he said that trained railroad
workers would be of more service to
the country in keeping the roads in eff
