Americas First Steel Rails.

In 1865, as an experiment, the North
Chicago Rolling Mill company manu-
featured six Bessemer steel rails from
steel produced at Wyandotte, Mich.
They were the first made in America,
the modest beginning of a great In
dustry. A New York mill, using ma
terial turned out at Troy, made fur
Their experiments. and In 1867 the
Cambria company began to roll Bes-
semer steel rails as a regular business,
says an exchange. The first rails OF
this type were made and used In Eng
land. They were introduced into
America by the Pennsylvania railroad,
which, In 1853, imported and put into
service 100 tons Of steel rails. The
price paid was $3.50 gold per ton.
equivalent In Civil war times to 5000
in American currency. These rails
were made of crucible steel and con-
tanned a high percentage Of carbon.
rendering them brittle. For this rea-
son many broke during the next win
ter, but despite this fact the railway
company placed orders for large guam
titles In Great Britain, paying from
$135 to $162.50 gold per ton.

ENDS ONE NOISE OF CITIES
Invention Of Philadelphia Man Does
Away With Racket When Cars
Cross Intersection.

The problem of suppressing the
noise and shock of the street car In
passing over an intersection has been
attacked in n novel manner by Phil
adelphia inventor, Samuel b. Meeker,
who accOmplishes the object without
the use of any of the moving and in
terlOcking parts which characterize
most of the inventions for this pur-
pose, and without making any great
changes in the design of the crossing
itself. The latter is constructed In
one piece or unit, and at point slight
~ in advance of the intersection of the
rail sections.
Each rail section is formed with the
face of the rail cut away in an incline
which allows the weight of the vehicle
to pass from the base of the wheel to
the flange on which II continues for a
few feet, until the wheels have passed
entirely over the intersection, when the
weight of the car again passes to the
base of the wheel. This change is so
gradually accomplished that 1t Is not
noticeable to the passengers and the
car passes over the crossing without
Jolt or noise. The latter is q matter
of great Importance to persons living
In the vicinity Of such intersections.
for the pounding of the cars over them
at night comprises a serious annoy.

Conserve Surplus Food.

Increased planting of vegetables this
year almost certainly will mean an un-
precedented yield of all kinds of fresh
vegetables.
This will mean plentiful supplies for
summer tables and large surplus.
This surplus, to be useful to Amer
lea, must be conserved.
1t must be canned, dried, brined or
stored In the homes of America.
Home-conserved food means that the
home will be more nearly self-sustain-
ing and that the burden on transporta-
ton will be llghtened.
Women who have never canned
should now learn how; women who
know how should prepare to do more.

WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 90 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as well as the
neutrals, the U. S. Food Admlnlstra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop of
1917-19lS is at least three and a half
million tons.
That the 1917-191S crop of cane sug-
ar was two million tons in excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce pne-half OF
the world cane crop, and the Java sug-
ar Is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java large part of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
1t requires 80 to 160 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as a group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar Is now only 291
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break of hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average Of 752, 542 tons OF
sugar each year. For 1917-1S the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as com.
pared with more than 200 that were
in existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies
France nevertheless managed to manu-.
facture more beet sugar In 1917-1S
than in 1857, when the total output
was 202, AIS tons.
Italy in 1918 produced 100,S0O
tons of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
11O,25O less than the annual output of
sugar for the five year p-e-war pc
Rod.
One of the great difficulti-s expert
enced in Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands Of men usually
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
mately half of the usual quantity OF
beets harvested.

Which Kind of Parlor7

The building trade today is largely
using methods In use in the days or
the Pharaohs, said the principal ar
chitect Of the Office Of works, at the
Royal Sanitary institute in England
recently. "The parlor question" he
went on, as a difficult one. Some
people prefer one large, pleasant room
to a pokey living room and small par
lor. Others urge that the parlor Is
necessary for children TO do their les
sons in, to accommodate the piano and
household goods, and also the coffin In
the event of a death in the family"

DOING GOOD WORK IN VAR
English Church Army Has Accom-
plished Much for the Men In the
Field, Says Message.

"The English church army is doing
a noble work in the war;" was the
message received in this country by
the Episcopal church from the Church
of England. Fully equipped recrea-
ton huts, open to men of all creeds,
have been established in all training
camps In England and Wales. On the
French front huts, tents and tempo
rary churches are provided. In all
more than 800 of these huts and tents
are in use; some In remote places In
the north for the men of the navy;
others in Malta, Egypt, Palestine.
Macedonia, MesOpOtamia, East Africa
and even In India. Frequently last
letters have been written from these
huts, bearing the heading. Church
Army Hut-letters now treasured by
those at home. The bill for writing
paper alone Is over 100000 year.
"ClOse to the front line trenches
the church army keeps several 'kitCh-
en- cars TO supply the men with hot

PACKAGE Goods Expensive.

That package goods are more expen-
sive than goods bought In bulk Is
shown in a chart of comparative food
values recently published. The chart
shows that canned peaches cost three
times as much as dried peaches. and
the food value In calories is three
times greater in the dried than In the
canned variety. Canned pork and
beans cost about twice as much per
unit of food value as dried beans. The
canned goods are ready for Immediate
use and the dried require preparation,
but to persons interested In reducing
the cost of living these facts are worth
taking into consideration.

PERSONALS.
Little Dorothy Monroe, aged 4
years, was buried Tuesday, Oct 10,
1918.
Capt. William R. Martin of Gretna
died Oct 30, 1918. He was a brother
of Mr.. c. d. Martin and Mrs. E. j..
Lorio and Miss Matte J. and Myra
V. Martin of Algiers congregation.
Mr.. B. c. Glider is in ChOctaw Co,
Ala Two of his brothers died during
the epidemic, and were carried from
New Mexico to their old home in
Alabama.
These friends, and others, who
mourn the loss of loved ones, have
the prayers of the church. The pastor
has lost relatives and many friends
during this epidemic, among them
Mr.. Joe. Wier, of Dallas, Texas, who
died Oct. 13, at Camp Mallory, Aus
| tin, Tex.
| The only soldiers or sailors of our
church that were reported sick dur
ing the epidemic were Mr.. Sanford
Hebert of Camp Martin and Lieut.. w.
w. Hebert of Camp Pike. These
have recovered.
Lieut. T. p. Bell of Camp Sheridan
was quite busy in the camp during
the sickness Mrs. Bell will pay him
visit this week
The pastor and family were com
fortably housed at 427 Seguin Street
until Oct. 81, when they moved to
the Parsonage. Surely every mem
Der of the church and all our friends
rejoice to know that the congregation
has bought of Capt. OFT the home of
the late Frank A. Daniels. A friend,
who is not a communicate of our
church, expressed a beautiful senti-
ment, when he said to the pastor: 81
believe that it would delight Mr..
Daniels to know that his home was

does know.
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Since churches are to open Sunday
We will again have Sunday School al
$50. Let everybody be there on time
and be ready to start again in earnest
AS it was intended to be Rally Day
we will so call it, but we will not
be able to have an extra program
as we intended to, because we have
no time to prepare.
Work Day envelopes, yes that is
what we are going to do. We will
take up the orphanage envelopes and
send the money we collect to Ruston
as soon as possible. Help us have
large fund.
Lest we forget. The contest will
be on, and what we want is a few
more enlistments on each side, and
then we will be able to draft the left
overs. Who will be the first to be
promoted?
A souvenir of Rally Day will be
given to each member of the school
provided they last, so come early and
get one.
Let's all join together Sunday after
four weeks.
