Has Been Selected.

! The Fluid Compressed Steel com

| Wilcox, G. e. Weissenburger and
others for the purpose of establish.
ing an electric steel furnace at Keo-
kuk to manufacture especially high
grade steel casting products such as
! are adapted to great variety OF
uses. The process used is a new one
and is covered by letters patent.
| This process has been in successful
commercial operation for other pur-
poses for the last five or six years
and has been under careful investi-
cation by Messrs. Wilcox and Weis-
senburger for the past two years.
These investigations have resulted
in the coupling up of an electric fur
mace and the manufacture of superior
quality products under the new pro-
cess
1t is expected that the establish
ment of this industry will result in
the organization of several other
of the new company to great advant-
age as basic materials for their man
ufactures- 1t has been felt for a
long time that a reasonable sized
steel foundry would be a valuable
adjunct to the existing Keokuk indus
tries
The combination of the electric fur
mace and the new process of manu-
facture of steel and iron products
and their alloys has made it possible
to incorporate the new company on
a basis of successful commercial
operation both during war and or
binary times
Ready October First
It is expected that the plant will
be ready for operation about October
LIST and that the facilities will be
used during the war period for the
of such products as are
either directly or indirectly contrib
uting to the carrying on of the war.
After the war the same apparatus
will be used in the manufacture of a
great number Of products for which
there is a large and insistent demand.
The incorporation papers authorize
a capital stock issue of $225,000 COM
mon stock and 100000 preferred
stock, all fully paid.
A competent and experienced man
and consulting staff has
been selected SO that the new com
pany will start with more than ordin
ary assurances of success.

The rounding out of basic indus |
.ries in keokuk, resulting from the
of the new company, |
will no doubt make it much easier |
or small manufacturers to locate in |
keokuk and vicinity, as it will now !
De possible for them to obtain most |

The plant will give employment to |
hirty or forty men at the start and |
he number increased as new units |
ire added. The first unit will use !
,ne thousand horsepower. Three |

goes for arnica and soothing lini- ments.
 Among his recent abuses at the hands of Reid, Hatton cites how he was thrown bodily through a lot of men in "The Golden Chance"- how he was rudely knocked about and down the stairs in "The Prison Without Walls" and a little later how he is dragged through a win dow and thrown from a porch in ''The Squaw Mans Son."
 Mr. Hatton's prayer finally in- cluded the request that as he had been with the Lasky Company for three years and never won fight, some scenario writer prepare a story in which he could triumph over sonie fellow man, and he said that his feelings would be greatly assuaged if this fellow man were only one-armed cripple, just so he could whip somebody for once in his screen career.

MISS PEARSON DESIGNS GOWNS FOR NEW PLAY.

Beautiful gowns are really hob by with Miss Virginia Pearson who appears tonight at the Palace in William Fox's photoplay, "Stolen Honor' In all of her pictures she has igven especial attention to dress.
 When she received the manu- script on Stolen Honor," she knew that she would be called on to wear up-to-date gowns and many of them So she decided to give both men and women a treat. She de- signed over two dozen gowns to suit the play. These were made by an exclusive Fifth avenue dress maker, packed in trunks and sent to the William Fox studio in Grant wood, N. J.
 The display excited even those at the studio It was the most beau tiful ever seen there and outnum- bered anything of the kind. But Miss Pearson intended to play the rich Washington society girl as the rich society girl would appear at balls and afternoon teas, at morn ing receptions and at home.
 In addition to these there were motoring cloaks, street cloaks, many pairs of shoes ito accompany each gown, hats and furs.
 Then too, Miss Pearson took par ticular care of her hair and kept her maid quite busy. Each strand had to be just so.
 Motion picture followers, espe- cially women folks, will certainly see a beautiful woman exquisitely dressed in Stolen Honor," and the hunters for style hints will get many of them in this play.

LAYTON PARTICULAR WHO SLAMS HIM AROUND IN PLAY

Raymond Hatton, the clever Las Paramount character actor, whc will be seen at the Coliseum tonight, in support of Wallace Reid in the Lasky-Paramount production of ''The Squaw Mans Son." has filed an emphatic protest with at organ ization. The tenor of Hatton's pro test requests that some other per son besides one Wallace Reid be se- lected to slam him around.
 Hatton goes on to say that when ever he is scheduled to be knocked down, thrown out of window, down the stairs, through door, etc, Reid is always assigned the task While he has a great personal regard for Reid, Hatton asserts that he does the job too thoroughly, and instead of taking it as play-aeting, Reid takes the affairs too serious ly. Consequently quite a consid- erable portion of Hattons salary

TESTING METHOD FOR THE VOICE
 BEEN WORKED OUT

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24.-A method of testing the ability of any person to sing, without seeing him or even hearing him, has been devised by Theophilus Fitz of this city, recent ly director of music in the State Teachers College of Colorado. This method, which Professor Fitz says is his contribution to science" is based upon series of measurements of the head cavities that he declares he has worked down to exact mathe matics. He does not find it neces- sary to see, touch or hear the ob- iect, as his work which he terms "voice diagnosis" has become so definite to him as mathematics. All he asks is that certain measurements of the head be taken correctly.
 After learning these measurements and thesis of the subject, he makes his own calculation as to the size md shape of the head cavities and announces the subject, if a girl, is a soprano or contralto, and if youth. whether he should sing the role of basso or of a tenor robusto.
 Mamie often sings soprano, just because Susie does, although she ought to be singing contralto," says Professor Fitz. And Bill insists up- on singing bass, because he thinks t is manly, when he really ought 70 be tenor"
 Persons with round heads make the best singers. he says, because their head cavities are the most symetrical those with long heads come next and those with oval cran- ium rank last.
 "It's nonsense," he says, flor peo- pie to pass four or five years study ing music, to ascertain whether they can sing and if so, what part, when by this method, they can obtain such a decision immediately"

The Migration This Year from the North Is Said
 to Be Larger Than
 Is Usual.

DAWSON, Oct 28.-The migration of caribou near Eagle, just across the boundary line in Alaska, has blocked the river.
 Thousands and thousands of them swarmed the shores and filled the river and government steamboat Davis was forced to plough through the swimming animals.
 Members of the crew lassooed a number for fresh meat.
 The present herd is but one of many that have been reported during the past month as having arrived from the great waste reaches of the Arctic region north of the Yukon river and having crossed the Yukon for the old caribou runs.
 For some reason it is said the migration this year is much. larger than usually noticed.

New ship ways, towering trestles, spreading shops, fields of steel and the incessant clamor, day and night, of automatic riveters, great steam hammers and whirring machinery are the symbols of wartime ship building here where deep sea craft have been turned out shoes the sos.
 In this great plant 12,OOO men, women are working at top speed. Sliding quietly from the ways, with out semblance of the ceremony hat attended launchings in the days of peace, ship after ship has been built and floated to lose itself in he maze of commerce at this gate way to the Atlantic and to the fields of France.

WITH THE AMERICAN AVIA TORS IN FRANCE, Oct. 25.-Ths start of an American bombing squad ron on a raid into German territor, is a spectacle to stir the enthusiasm of an American and inspire him witf an appreciation of Americas grow ing strength in the air.
 The squadron already had beer over the German lines twice that day with fair success and the avia tors lounged in shady spots jibine one another or idly commenting up on the evolutions of practice airplanes overhead, when the correspondent o1 the Associated Press visited the fly ing field.
 Out of a concealed and camouflag ed office hut there stepped suddenly the flight leader, Lieutenant Gun derlach who already has been named in the official American communique for prowress in the air.
 The aviators sprang to their feet and gathered around their leader TUT tuc llildl lHotI uCllOHS IIC ildu not been at all satisfied with the two performances of the day. They had shown tendency to struggle ov- ermuch and had not kept sufficiently punched"
 Hot criticism poured from his lips and the youngsters were silent in embarrassment The leader did not spare them, but iterated and reiter ated that ''the formation is the thing, the squadron is the thing" and finally God help a straggler." "
 Then, the ordeal over the avia tors went silently to their quarters for their great, heavy, Arctic clothing In the turn of hand they were back on the field, swathing and swad ding themselves to the eyes, tuck ing chocolate into their pockets (for they get hungry in the air) or break ing open fresh packages of chewing gum, which helps to alleviate ner vousness and has a steadying effect
 The last machine gun has been tested, the last propeller had been twirled until it revolved at lightning speed. The commander gave an al most imperceptible wave of his hand
 Airplane number one, bearing the flight leader, threw off it's restrain ing mechanism and swept in a big curve across the field, taxing" clumsily across the field with its af hn, he fn which 1t could rise at the head of the group.
 One by one the others followed suit taking up position just behind and to the right and left of the leader until they were spread out like great covey of ungainly bu: maryelously colored birds. AS they waited they tossed out rockets which despite the brilliant sunlight, flared binding red and white. The test was complete. They were ready for the start.
 Again the commander gave sig nal The noise of the motors rose to deafening proportions. The great cOVey began tO move, BdlHeu Spceu as they sped northward across the field, then one after another took off" the ground. All the cluminess of the taxing" was gone. The machines had become graceful birds in fact
 Swiftly they race, while still with in sight. to a great height, looking for all the world like flock of geese with the leader at the neck of the formation. Later on, when about to cross the line, they would draw closer together into compact, tightly-knit group, but always follow. ing whether to left or right, the two little white pennants streaming out
