Greek Girls As Red.
Cross Nurses Help
Felow Countrymen

According to the committee on pub
lie information at Washington, ID. e.,
a number of Greek girls in the uni
forms of American Red Cross nurses
are now serving in the hospitals OF
Greece. These girls are part OF a
number from New England who,
anxious to help their fellow country
men, decided TO become nursing aids.
They enrolled in training courses IN
the Massachusetts General Hospital,
and other Boston hospitals, where
they soon became proficient in their
work. Recently four of them, who
had practically completed their
courses. decided that they would like
to go back to Greece with the Amer
ican Mission which was just then
about to leave. Through the Greek
legation they applied for permission
to go with this mission as members
of the American Red Cross.
Now they are not only serving their
own people, but are also creating a
feeling in Greece which cements the
long friendship of the Greeks with
America. Although no American
troops have been landed on Greek
soil, the people are nevertheless
pleased with the sight of an American
uniform, no matter what branch of
the service it represents.
Another group of Greek girls in
Boston is taking up courses at Sim
mons college, in dieteticS, domestic
science. and home aid. These girls
also expect shortly to sail for Greece.
Mrs. c. NJ. Cooley, chairman of the

SMALL net GAIN
FOR ACTIVE ISSUES
Undertone of the Market Is Strong
Through Inferior Selling.

New York, Jan. Sn-Stocks opened
strong today and then dropped
throughout the session. Toward the
close there came another period of
strength SO that a majority of the
active issues showed small net gains
for the day. The undertone was
strong and as the selling was not
high grade there is every reason to
believe that the big people have not
abandoned their idea of higher
market.
The fact that the Steel Corpora
ton stretched point to continue the
same extra dividend and that the
United States government has ex-
pressed desire that nothing he done
to discourage buying of liberty bonds
would seem TO make this point of
view lO%iCal. a good deal of the buy
ing that has been in the market the
last few days has been short cover
ing.
L. S. Steel opened nearly a point
higher, but was offered freely from
the beginning of the day and at one
time was more than a point below
its higher figure. DistiIlers made a
new high for the movement and Cen
eral Motors was very strong.

Financial Neus ih the Latest Stock Market Quotations

Gently as 1916 were in q single year
of the money value Of twenty mil
lion dollars
There is perhaps no better illus
tratton of the readiness with which
great industries will accept oppor-
tunities for the use of adequate
water power than the recent exper-
ience of the city of Shawinigan
Furnished.
After the first power development
there the Canadian Northern rail-
road was opened and right upon the
heels OF the construction of that
new transportation system came
the Pittsburgh Reduction Company.
The company made careful estimate
of the cost of the production of
aluminium. 1t was found that It
would be necessary to transport re-
fined bauxite, which Is the clay
from which aluminium is made by
the process invented by the late
Charles Hall, and this required
transportation for a considerable
distance by rail.
The company uses about $1,000 horse
power, and this has been found eco
nomical, Notwithstanding the fact that
the refined bauxite Is brought by rail
from the United States. and then the
ALUMINIUM which is manufactured
from the bauxite is transported to all
parts Of the United States and Canada.
Thus Pittsburgh capital, which has
already been invested in a manufac-
turing plant at Niagara Falls. is also
invested through attractive water
power propositions to Canada. The in
dustry employs there some 500 skilled
artisans.
Besides manufacturing all OF the
aluminium wire made in Canada, the
company also has c wire drawing and
cabling plant. The establishment OF
this American industry in Canada
at a point where convenient and
abundant water power can be cheaply
obtained cannot fail to impress those
in Congress who are now considerine
the best method of utilizing the great
water powers in the United States
whose energy has from prehistoric
times gone to waste.
