Stone Freights.--ln n few weeks time
experiments will have determined the
practicability of constructing railway
freight cars Of rc-enforced concrete.
Stimulated by war conditions, which
made the immediate provision OF more
carriers and the conservation Of steel
imperative, prominent Chicago en-
gineer in association with some OF the
largest carbuilding companies. has
turned his attention to the fabrication
of concrete gondolas. A car Is to be
built at once in accordance with plans
and specifications now in the final
stage Of completion. Contingent upon
the showing made by this car. which Is
patented, is the whole immediate pro-
duction of others on q wholesale scale.
1t remains to be seen what the new
gondolas will do. But it has been de-
signed to accomplish the same work
and withstand the same severe usage
as modern steel cars. In attention to
costing probably not more than half as
much as one of steel. the concrete.
car is capable of being more quickly
built. Furthermore. its adoption
would release many skilled workmen
for shipbuildng.
The question OF practicability seems
to be dependent on weight. Standard
steel gondolas weigh from $4,000 to
1000 pounds. II it is found possible
to construct concrete car Of fifty tons
capacity and consistently keep the
weight at $4,000 pounds. engineers
feel that success will be assured.
In this connection 1t is interesting to
know that for two years or more GER
tain companies have heen employing
concrete in repairing freight cars. and
have found it satisfactory. For this
purpose Il fine cement mortar, sprayed
by cement gun. is uSed.-Popular
Mechanics.

the war after her patience was abso-
lutcly exhausted, and Americans
should bc dcvoutly thankful that they
can fight abroad and not have to en-

Thousands Of Young Men Still Be-

Habitual use Of morphine. cocaine. he

narcotic drugs has Increased rapidly
In the United States within the last

law must be enacted to check the

are the conclusions made public by a
special treasury investigating commit
tee together with a partial report on
the number of drugs addicts actually

The investigation Of the committee
which is headed by Representative
Rainy Of Illinois, showed that thous-
ands of drafted men have been dis
missed after 1t was found they were
drug addicts and that this number in
cluded many who systematically de-
veloped the habit to insure their dis

Hundreds Of agents Of the internal

information concerning consumption
Of morphine. cocaine. heroin. or medi-

on these reports Is based the estimate
that at least 100000 persons In the

Lately conditions have become still

most frequent is confinement in an cx-

Murder Of a French Lad.
For some unknown reason there have
been no shootings at Camp Holzmin-
den when | last heard. In nearby
camp at Binerback. we'll remember
OF the shooting OF an eight year-old
French lad, in the summer Of 1917. be-
cause he had for an instant stopped
work. His guard. a stupid, half in
sane fellow. pointed his weapon at
him and fired. The whole garrison
was highly incensed at the killing. But
when the general was told OF IT, he
came to the guard. slapped him on the
shoulder. and said: You did your
duty" Shortly afterward the guard
received a promotion"
Among the prisoners. none were
more badly treated than the group Of
young Russian students. OF which
was one. Their moral and physical
sufferings were hardly to be depicted.
For four years they have been shut out
OF the world. Their priceless splendid
years OF youth have flown by. Joy.
health. strength and education have
been denied them. The war relief or
would undertake a great
and wonderful work OF brotherhood II
they could obtain the release OF these
wholly innocent war captives. by put
ting the matter before the proper au-
thorities.
