Paper Making in India.

At a time when great difficulties are
caused all over the world by the short
age of paper, as result of the great
war, it is interesting to note the pos
sibilities Of paper making in India. By
some officials it is thought that suf-
ficient paper should be made in India
to supply the whole demand of Asia.
1t is a question Of cheap power and
water. Cotton stalks can be used and
the forests of India contain many trees
which are of no use for building and
not available for fuel, but which with
waterpower close to the forests could
be ground up to make pulp and paper.
Failing these, or perhaps preferably,
grass and fibers could be grown which
might serve the purpose better and at
less cost. Where waterpower is OBJ
tainable not too far from the sea,
chlorine, for which there Is always a
demand, can be cheaply produced from
the sea by electrolysis. In this connec
ton it is of interest to note the i'm.
mense opportunities which India af.
fords for the development of water.
power and for the transmission of that
power by means of electricity where
the available sites for water schemes
are not conveniently near the place
where the power is wanted.

Sensitive Steel Hands.

Some wonders Of physical recon-
struction are being achieved in the
treatment of disabled soldiers in
France. Particularly successful is the
work of Prof. Jules Amar, to whom, as
he goes down the street near his hos
pital in Paris, the women smile and
say: "That's the man that gave my
husband his arm back"
One man, who had lost his arm,
while waiting for an interview one
day, amused himself by turning on a
lathe little brass shells, as souvenirs,
as well as any turner could have
done.
A second man, whose arm was am
putated above the elbow, picked up
needle from the table with a small
pair Of dissecting forceps. Afterwards
the men gave an exhibition of turning
and filing metal, and wood-drilling
with sensitive bit.

May Give Language to World.

Our language has been modified by
the multiplicity Of tongues of those
who have come to our shores, and to
this extent we have been automatical-
" developing the speech which has in
It the elements of universally. There
never has been and there may never
be speech suited to all the races, but
America, with over hundred millions
of people speaking the one tongue and
with great commercial future before
1t, may carry that tongue to the ends
Of the earth. As the land of adoption
of so many millions of Europe, its dis
tinctive speech may present less objec-
tons to the peoples Of Europe than
that of England. Much will depend
upon how. distinctive 1t becomes and
how well it serves the purposes Of d.
rect expression.

hope that Maryland will continue to
furnish the same type and character
of men as in the past.
Carpenters mates, quartermasters

RUN AUTO PLOWs
Manned Soldiers Of France Are
Trained in New Work.
asReoIs Established to Enable Farm
ers to Take Up Their Old
Profession Again.

What is called "a "Motor Culture"
school has been Established at Cha
pelle-S aint-Luc, just outside of Troyes.
1t inaugurates new era in French ag-
riculture.
Fifty army nurses of the older
classes are there, teaching MANNED SOL
diers to run automobile plows and 9TH
er traction implements of every sort.
In four crews the pupils, in turn,
drive the tractors in the field, learn
repair work at the forge and the prin-
ciple Of the motor in series of lee
lures. AS soon as they are able to
repair broken part as well as drive
motor efficiently, they are placed at
the disposal Of the mechanical Guilt
waiting commission and assigned to
one of the farming centers that has
been provided with motor implements
for the common use of the farmers Of
the neighborhood.
This is only one Of number Of
similar schools in France. At Ondes,
Bordeaux, Grenoble, Grignon and
Noisy lie Grand, also, MANNED farm
ers and farm laborers who comprise
80 per cent Of the total Of soldiers who
have suffered amputation are being re-
trained for the new method of farm
ing.
The purpose is to prepare the mu-
tilated soldiers to take up their old
professions, if possible, or another If
physical disability prevents.
The experience of the school at
Chapelle-S aint-Luc tends to show that
the use of tools appropriate to work
that interests the patient is far more
effective in relieving and curing
anklyosis, due to wounds, than any of
the special mechanical appliances.
Many mechanic who dreamed Of
country life before the war is timber
ing up his muscles in learning to
handle farm implements; on the other
hand, many a farmer who had lost
interest In his calling is losing the
stiffness Of his joints by the manipu-
lation OF, tools Of the cabinet maker
and mechanic.
Basketmaking is favorite trade
adopted on the edge Of the Champagne
wine country, where the great demand
for champagne baskets keeps these
war apprentices busy. Locksmiths,
tinsmiths, horseshoers, blacksmiths
and shoemakers also are turned out
by these establishments.

PACKERS PRICES FOR ToMA-
TOES.
Government Fixes 1t at Twentyone
Dollars Ton.

Government Fixes 1t at Twentyone
Dollars Ton.
Twenty-one dollars per ton is the
price the packers will pay tho farm
ers for their tomatoes during the
coming packing season. This price
was fixed by the government on
Thursday last in an announcement
on behalf of both the Army and of
the Navy.
Last year the market price of
tomatoes was about SIS, but SO great
was the demand that there was last
season wild speculation in toma-
toes and there were times when the
price ran as high as $40 a ton while
$50 was by no means unusual.
The price fixed by the Army and
the Navy today will be the ruling
price because all Army and Navy
contracts for tomatoes and tomato
products will be made on the basis
of $21 ton for all tomatoes. The
government expects to buy 100000
cases this season for it's own use.
This amount is about 35 per cent. of
the total pack. No packer will be
permitted to pay more than $21.
The following is the announcement
of the government for Maryland and
the immediate vicinity:
''In all industries the Army and
the Navy are operating under we'll
recognized principles in securing
reasonable prices as applying to all
war requirements.
Gin connection with the tenders
on tomatoes the Army and the Navy
state that they are unwarrranted in
making any rulings for canned toma-
toes, ketchups, or other tomato pro-
ducts based on raw material prices
in excess of the following:
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Della
ware and New Jersey, $21 per ton.
Further, they do not believe that
the other elements of the cost of
canning or packing should be per-
mitted to result in an unreasonable
price for the canned product

Farm Labor Is Serious Problem.

Farm Labor Is Serious Problem.
Even before the spring season ar
rives the scarcity of farm labor is
looming up as a serious problem in
Maryland.
s. M. Shoemaker, head OF the
State Department of Agriculture, re-
fiected the views of Maryland farm
era when he declared that there will
be shortage in planting this year
as compared with last year. 1.-THE
government promised last year to
come to the relief of the farmers"
said Mr. Shoemaker. 81 have no
disposition to criticize the govern
ment, but the promise was not kept.
/ suppose the government had other
big jobs on hand. AS the situation
now stands farmers will plant crops
in such quantities as can be harvest
ed They will not lose the seed and
labor as they did last year and then
see their crops go to seed i'll the
fields because of lack of labor"
A trip in any direction through
the country will show numerous in
stances where corn is still in shocks
in fields and is unshucked. The lack
of labor is more acute than year
ago because of the draft. A joint
resolution is pending in the House
of Delegates at Annapolis asking the
War Department to suspend the

this spring shall have been gathered.
From Washington comes state
ment, which is not official, that
farmers, will be, exempted from fur

aRmENIANS AN ANCIENT RACE
They Lived in Many Places Before oc-
cupying Regions Which They Have
Held for Many Centuries.

The history of Armenia dates from
very remote times, ]. de Morgan writes
in the New Armenia. Hailing, no one
knows whence, at the same time as
the races who have populated Europe,
the Armenians formerly inhabited the
steppes of Russia and the plains Of
the lower Danube, and for long time
Thrace, where they lived side by side
with the Hellenes, their congeners.
Afterward, at about the time of the
Trojan war, we see them cross the
Hellespont and settle in Phrygia, with
the Phrygians of whom they were then
but great tribe. At this epoch. the
empire Of Utilities was extinguished.
1t is from Phrygia that, contrary to the
general law of migrations, the Armeni-
ans advanced toward the Orient, along
the high valley Of the Euphrates, and
came to occupy the regions of Van,
Urmia, Erzerum and Ararat. The
kingdom Of Uratu disappeared; the
Armenians installed themselves upon
it's ruins.
1t was then that appeared the grand
figure Of Haik, fabulous parsonage
in the traditions, but assuredly real,
whom Moses of Khorene described to
us, contending, in his heroic form,
against Bel, that is, against the kings
Of Assyria. The Armenia Major Of
our days was then occupied by peoples
related to the present Caucasians, to
the Lazes, Mingrelians and Georgians,
whom the kings of Asshur, after the
fall of the powerful state Of the bor-
ders of Lake Van, hoped to subjugate.
But Nineveh was soon to fall, and
through this revolution the Armenians
gained the time to establish their pow
er firmly in the regions they con-
quered under the leadership Of Haik.
The first kingdom of the Armenians,
Hal, was founded 600 or 700 years be-
fore our era, and the spirit Of Haik
has lived until our own day, welding
the Armenian element that was sep
arated from the Phrygian nation.
Some centuries after the collapse Of
Nineveh the Modes were dispossessed
of power. The scepter passed to the
hands Of the Persians, whose onrush
forced the ancient rulers of Iran to
retire to the mountains. Then these
tribes came in contact with the Ar
menians who, repulsed from the east,
transmitted this pressure to the peo-
Piles of Ararat.
