NO DANGER OF IRON FAMINE
Pace With Demand That Is Bound
to Be Enormous.

That iron is the very basis Of our
industrial civilization will be admitted
by the thoughtful, and many of our
greatest supplies of iron ore are be-
In" rapidly depleted because of the
increased per capita consumption of
iron the world, over, an increase which
is destined to be greater in the future
when the races in Asia and Africa in
crease their consumption of iron.
These conditions of increasing con-
sumption and decreasing reserves have
often in the past, particularly about
the beginning of this century, been
used to create a scare, on the ground
that our supplies of disable ore were
being so rapidly depleted that their
exhaustion would occur within two or
three generations.
This is a preposterous point Of view,
asserts Chemical Engineering, because
us we lower the percentage of iron in
The rock which we call "ore" the guam
tity of such ore increases at rate out
of all proportion to the decrease in
iron content, and as we use leaner and
leaner ores technical improvements
will be made which will minimize any
tendency to increased cost Of produc-
ton. The same thing has happened
In gold, silver, copper and other ores,
and today copper ores are being work
ed with only 1-15 per cent Of copper
In them.

HOW LAPLAND GOT ITS NAME
Danish ChronicIer of the Twelfth Gen.
fury First Used Term "Lappia,"
From Which IL Is Derived.

The origin of the term "Lapp" 10 OBJ
scure, according to Through Lapland
with Skis and Reindeer" by Frank
Hedges Butler. The Swedish histori-
an, Johannes Magnus, writing in the
sixteenth century, called the land Lap
pia, following Saxo Grammaticus, the
twelfth century Danish chronicler.
Other writer's called it by the Latin
lied name Lapponia. In the seven
teenth century the region was known
In England as Lapland, in Sweden as
Lapmarkia, mark being swedish for
land; in Denmark and Norway as Lap
lGndia or Findmarkia.
Several ingenious etymologies have
been suggested, both in ancient and
modern times. Some derive the name
from the Swedish Lapp, rags, from
Swedeland every year with rags lapt
about them" others from the Swedish
laepa, to run or leap, from their skill
Ill sliding swiftly over the frozen snow
by means OF skis.
Shelter, the Swedish professor
whose "Lapponia" (1673) was trans
lated into English and published in
Oxford in 1914, wrote of the 'art they
have by which with crooked pieces Of
wood under their feet like bow they
hunt wild beasts and glide along the
ground, not taking up one foot after
another as in common running but car
rying themselves steady upon the froz-
en- snow, they move forward, STOPPING
little" Old historians often called
I.apland "Scridfinnia," derived from
"skrida," which in Danish and Swed-
ish means to slide.

ARTIST MADE RED HIS COLOR
His Canvases With a Note OF
That Hue.

On his trips TO Pittsburgh for jury
duty Chase used to pass a certain
fence painted red, an offense TO the
landscape, but in itself a strong, beau
tiful color. AS he noted in passing
it twice a year that the color did not
fade though in the outdoors and in
sunlight, it was evident that the pig
ment had great permanency. so the
next time he went to Pittsburgh he
hunted up the source of the paint.
Having finally trailed 1T to the manu-
facturer, he bought all the red paint
that the man had on hand and had an
artists color firm put it up in tubes.
and with Characteristic. generosity
scattered It among his artist friends.
With this red many of his red notes
were touched in-those characteristic
accents which caused Kenyon Cox to
say that In his use of q red note Chase
had signed his canvas.
When Chase was in England . Z.
Abbey sent him an earnest request
to come and see his Harrisburg deco
rations. At first Chase thought It i'm
possible but at the last minute he took
a flying trip TO Abbey's country house
by motor. When he saw the decora-
lions his admonition sounded proven
bal, but it was, as Abbey realized af-
terward, quite right. "What your can
vas needs is a spot of red" Abbey
took his advice.-Katharine M. Roof.

Color Schemes for Gardens.

From current articles one might sup
pose the art of making gardens gay
with color in the fall to- be something
new. Quite otherwise is the fact, as
one may learn by reading Bacon, par-
ticularly the passage: 81 do hold IL
in the Royal Ordering of Gardens that
there ought to be gardens for all the
months of the year, in which severally
things of beauty may be there in sea-
son." 1t is quantity put, of course, bat
with meaning that Is plain. Perhaps
II is true, however, that too little at
tentlon has been given fall gardens In
America, although the excuse may be
made that, MS here the autumn leaves
and the woodland berries take on so
fine color, artifciality becomes vain.

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of the
Bow Scouts of America.)
SCOUTS GUARD FLYING FIELD

Eight boy scouts of Dayton, o., are
in war service for sure. Taking the
place of men, they are employed as
guards at McCook aviation field.
They are a mighty proud lot, for they
arc being treated just like enlisted
men.
The scouts spend the nights at Camp
Pershing, and an army truck hauls
them to the field. McCook is some
thing more than flying field. 1t is a
laboratory of aviation where new APP
piiances and devices for airplanes are
tested. Practically everything within
the high-board walls which surround
the field must be closely guarded as
secret. Identification of every en-
ployee as he passes the gates is thor
ough.
4 scout accompanies every other per-
son, and sees to it that he goes straight
to the place where his business carries
him and that he leaves the field imme-
diately after his task Is finished. The
scout Is on a sharp lookout for cam
elas and reports any incident out OF
the ordinary routine.
The military commander Of the post
at McCook field reports as excellent
the conduct and behavior Of the scouts
on duty there. The authorities have
now asked for two patrols Of boy
scouts as messengers to be used at the
field.

Navy Blue.

The blue color so prominent in the
uniforms of almost all marines is of
hoary origin. Vegetins, In his fifth
book on the military affairs of the
Romans, traces the origin of this color
to the Veneti, an ancient people
dwelling near the coass Of Biscay, and
well versed I'm seamanship. II was
customary among them to paint their
outgoing ships as well as the masts
and sails with a blue color also their
sailors wore blue uniforms. Accord
Ing to our author, the Latin word
"Venetus," which was both the name
of the color and that of the people.
points to Its origin. From the Veneti
the custom was adopted by the Ro-
mans. Thus the son of Pompeius, aft
er defeating Caesars fleet in naval
battle, wore the navy blue, although
entitled to the purple. The Yeneti
were subdued by Caesar after a severe
maritime war in SO Il. G.

AMERICAN SPIRIT

In the light of succeeding. events 1T
is interesting to 1ecall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
"Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo

SCOUT REWARD THANK YOU

A typical story of the spirit of the
hoy scouts was told by Memphis man.
One night when it stormed he was
driving home in his ear at high speed,
and his hat blew off. The hat was res

Hastily the hat owner dropped some
coins in the boys hand and started
his car. He was stopped by the boy.

PLANT
TO BE RUNNING
BY MID WINTER
Shortage of Labor for In
stalling Machinery Bar
to Opening

The plant of the Equity Cooper
alive Packing company will be in
full operation by mid-winter.
The announcement was made to-
day by L. g.. .Hoopman, manager.
"The packing plant proper and
auxiliary buildings have all been
completed" Mr.. Hoopman said, land
practically all of the machinery is
on the ground. The shortage Of
labor since the commencement of
harvest, however, has made it, al
most impossible to get this ma
chinery installed, and has delayed
the opening.
1--WE expect to be in full operation
by mid-winter, however, and will kill
beef, hogs, mutton and whatever the
market demands. Our capacity,
which is limited only by our stor-
age facilities, will be 200 beeves and
1000 hogs daily. We anticipate no
difficulty in getting all the stock re-
quired for steady operation"
Homes For Workmen.
The company is building a homes
for workmen, and has awarded con-
tracts for the work to the T. F..
Powers company and K. S. Erdahl,
both of Fargo. Excavations for the
homes have been completed, and
foundations Of Ames pressed stone
will be laid next week.
The homes will be ready for occu-
pancy by November Is.

they started on their journey into
France and to the trenches. 1t was
at this time that the company was
broken up and members placed with
various divisions. The parting caus->

the boys for their association had
become close and very dear and the
orders were followed with a few
heartacheS but Lhere was never any

action.

AMERICA VIEWS
Big DRIVE WITH
ALL CONFIDENCE
Turning Point Close at Hand
in Great Struggle Is Belief
at Washington

Washington, 1Iarch 27.-Belief that
the turningroint OF the battle in
France is near at hand pervaded
Washington to-day and American
military observers who are closely
following developments in the ter
rife struggle centered their attention
on the front held by the French in
anticipation of a powerful counter
thrust.
Hints in the British press that
some change in the situation may be
expected soon have strengthened the
view here that the steady British
withdrawal is part of a definite bat
tie plan, the ultimate object of
which is the launching of a great
counter offensive. The most prob
able place for such a movement, 1t
is believed, is from the flanking po-
Eition the French held last night
along the left bank of the Disc
river.
War Department officials to-day
awaited confirmation from General
Pershing of British official state
ments that American troops were
fighting side by side with the French
and British. Nothing to show Amer
ican participation reached the War
Department last night and General
Pershing's reports offered only de-
tails of fighting in the region of
Nesle and Noyon, previously reported
it, dispatches to the Associated
Press.
