IRON FOUNDRY IN WAR AREA
How Women Of France Are "Doina
( Their Bit" to Keep the Wheels

An interesting narration of opera

lions of an iron foundry in the war

not see much foundry work out here.
but a few weeks ago was billeted in
a town near by, and actually saw a
cupola in full blast. at once got per-
mission to have a look around, and
was greatly surprised Mt what l saw.
The foundry was very primitive af-
fair-just little jobbing shop-and
was mostly run by French women and
girls, superintendent by few men.
These women were making work up to
three or four hundred pounds in
weight, and in a little side shop some
half dozen women were making cOla-
ponent parts Of machinery by the
simple method of bedding-in. l after
ward saw some of the finished work,
and it would put to shame the work
done by many of our so-called molders
at home. The women work in ordi-
nary dress, and work very clean and
exact in both iron and brass, and also
under shell fire and air raids. In the
shop was great hole where Ger

Reservoir Dams In Tunis,

Already the French are looking for
ward to the rapid development Of the
province of Tunis in Africa. Accord
ing to a civil engineer who has been
Investigating the matter there are
about 35 localities in that country
where dams could be constructed, with
reservoir capacities ranging from s.
100000 to 4CO.O0O,OOO cubic meters, and
water power ranging from 30 to 5000
horse power of continuous energy. The
engineering difficulties are stated to
be small in comparison with those OF
dams already built in Europe and the
United States, and the utilization Of
the water for irrigation, electrical
power, and In one case canal naviga-
ton is estimated TO furnish Il good
margin of profit. The numerous ruins
of Roman dams found in Tunis show
by what methods the country became
'the grnnnry of Rome" under the en-
pire and the ruins Of large cities, with
coliseums. bath and temples of great
size standing in what are now barred
plains, are evidence of the success of
the organized methods of irrigation of
those ancient times.

INDIAN WORKED WITH BRAIN
Bucks Ingenious Explanation for Not
Aiding squaw to Carry Their
Domestic Burden,

A group Of people who were touring
Alaska one summer were disguised at
the laz!ness of the buck Indians they
saw In the villages and along the trail.
One day when they were taking q
side trip they came upon a couple of
Indians who were evidently packing
Into the mountains to stay while.
The squaw was staggering under a
tremendous burden. She lugged all of
the bedding and provisions, and a pa
poose for good measure. The old buck
was slumping along lazily ahead Of
her. smoking his pipe and looking
down at the trail.
One member of the tourist marty
hailed the Indians and when they stop
ped he inquired, somewhat out of pa
thence:
"See here, buck, how comes it that
Nikawana is carrying all of the bag
gage and you are sfouching along, en-
joying your pipe? Why don't you
take at least half of the load off your
squaw, you big lazy Indiana"
The buck stood silent as sphinx
for few moments. then grunted to
himself and, pointing his index finger
to his forehead, he exclaimed in deep
cultural tones:
Huh, me all time think! ~ 4

REFUGEES IN RICH ATTIRE:

Amid this multitude of haggard, UNI

's5ETTER BLIND THAN DEAF"
Scientific Writer Points Out Why the
Former Affiietion 10 Less Hard
to Bear.
Scientists have shown that so,,nf

Scientists have shown that sound not
only informs the intellect, as does
sight, but that, much in excess of that
sense, it excites feelings-that is,
sound pure and simple has a specific
relation to feelings widely different
from that of sight.
Its primary effect Nas the creating
of moods Margaret Baldwin writes i'll
the Atlantic magazine. This being so,
the simple fact is thas sound has far
more to do fundamentally With origin
aErs our emotions, or how we feel from
day TO day. than has What we see.
1t should he said in passing, that
there is very little recognition of this
fact hy the person with normal hear
ing. Sight ana sound are so inter.
woven for him that he does not dis
crimlnatc as to what belongs lntrinsi-
cally to each in the province of feel
ings. It is only when the two are
clearly separated, rs in deafness or
blindness, that experience takes note
of what belongs to the one and tlss
other.
A scientific writer points out that ss
can see with Indifference the with
ings of a suffering animal tina: is still.
but thct, If there are cries Of pain, IL
produces emotions at once. We are
distressed. In reports of terrible ma
rine disasters, it is almost never sale
by people that they can never forget
the sights they saw. but always that
they can never forget the cries Of the
drowning.
Although one would hardly hesitate
to say that the excess Of the blind
mans calamity over that of the deaf
man is sufficient to overbalance this
elemental function Of sound to pro-
duce moods, yet the universal fact re-
mains that the blind are more cheerful
than the deaf.

Crime Always Poorly Paid.

1t has long been matter of note
that the safe robber of highest degree
and the countcrfeiter of fullest accom-
plisfment bring to their purposes tall
ents which would serve them in legiti-
mate application exceptionally well.
Ranking below these operators in
genius, the new motor car thief dis
plays vel an acumpn and q SmoOthnpss
In bushes execution which should
make him as straight man of af-
fairs generally valuable.
All these performers. refusing to
work honestly for sure and sufficient
compensation, work much harder for
the uncertain returns and ever-present
pcrils Of crOOkedness. They make
manifest curious paradox of crime.
They are not explained wholly by the
cries Of stunted spirit of adventure
and highly temperamental love for
the risks Of the game. Perhaps the
law. to meet them effectively, should
hold them to punitive account In
measures proportioned less to arbi-
trary degrees Of crime than to proved
wastes Of natural gifts.

"Aunt Martha" inquired the young
