COAL PYRlTE TN EXPLOSIVES
Iowa Biologists Investigate Coal Fields
for Needed Mineral, With
Excellent Results.
Examples of Operation.

An investigation of pyrite, an essen
tial material in the manufacture of
high explosives. is being made in the
coal fields of Iowa under the direction
of Dean George F. Kay Of the Uni
versity Of Iowa, who Is director of the
Iowa geological survey. High explo-
sives are made with the aid of sui
phuric acid, which in turn is made
chiefly by roasting pyrite, popularity
known as "fooPs gold" Hence the
mineral is in great demand.
For many years pyrite for acid pro-
ductfon has been imported from Spain,
states Doctor Kay. But in order to save
tie ships for more urgent uses, the
shipping board has sharply reduced the
import of pyrite. The domestic produc-
ton of the mineral must then be I'M
usually large, he declares.
New York, Virginia, Georgia, South
Carolina and Alabama have pyrite
mines, and Illinois and several other
states are producing a small tonnage
from coal mines. Many hundred thou
sand tons are quickly available from
coal mines, says the state geologist, If
the governments explosive program re-
quires it..
The method Of preparing coal pyrite
for shipment to acid plants is simple
and cheap. The sulphur balls must
be separated from adhering coal, and
be crushed, washed and screened into
lump and fine sizes. Coal miners are
willing to load pyrite, apd the opera
tors to hoist and ship it, If war indus
tries demand it.

Use of Cement.

Cement was first put on the market
In England. It was still being import
ed into this country in 1875. 1t was
at this time that the use Of Portland
cement in the United States came into
commercial prominence. When the
product was first placed on the market
In competition with that which was be-
ing imported from England and Ger
many a good price was demanded.
However, production in excess of de-
mand soon resulted and it proved big

The appearance Of the so-called
Spanish influenza in Massachusetts
and other parts of the country is de-
scribed by the medical authorities as
part OF world pandemic. Because
the disease is SO markedly contagious
and SO little known to the average citi-

both a community and an individual
sense, if deaths from this cause are
to prove few in number and serious
interference with business and indus

enza cases as they run, the death rate
is not high, but because of the liability
OF relapse with pneumonia develop

TO TRAIN CHILDISH MIND
Parent Can Do Much to Assist De-
velopment During the First
Six Years of Life.

What definite means can the home
adopt for the best development of the
child in the first six years of his life
First, with regard to the things which
surround the child-furniture pic
lures. books, toys, clothes and orna-
ments. In how far may these lend
themselves to his development?
In the room in which the child
spends most Of his time indoors, the
furniture ought to be plain enough so
that he can do no great harm in play
Ing freely about A small kindergar-
ten chair and table to work on are
almost Indispensable in the child's
room. A good blackboard should be
hung securely on the wall, for from
the hour he can tOddle the child will
delight in chalk markings, and these
even then will have value because of
the muscle development afforded the
arm and hand.
The pictures On the wall in the
child's room ought to be distinctly for
him, and hung low enough SO that he
may take them down and handle them
whenever he chooses. Every child
likes color and delights in the 'story
picture" the picture which has story
connected with 1t.
The child may be taught to discrimi.
nate between his own things and those
belonging to others by being allowed
to visit the family living room where
mothers and fathers books and their
pictures and furniture are used with
care and caution. In this way it will
also be possible to lead him gradually
into al appreciation Of the adults

The democratic platform convention
in Madison went on record for wo-
mans suffrage and practically for
prohibition. The latter plank it would
seem was an unnecessary one at this
time, but some of the candidates ia
yored it and let 1t 60 at that. The
state convention of representative
democrats did not favor It and went
against it. Who is running the demo-
cratic party in Wisconsin? The can
d1dates nominated at the primary
election or the rank and file of the
democrats Of the state assembled In
convention. That move will cost the
democratic party in Wisconsin many
votes. But then they have plenty to
