Next summer may see bad short
age Of ice. Scarcity of labor has been
interfering with the cutting of river
and lake ice this season. and hampered
by shortages of the chief products
necessary for ice manufacture-coal
and ammonia.
Some time ago the government call
ed a conference of the ice manufac-
turers and asked them to economic
in their use Of coal. One of the sug-
gestions was that some Of the plants
shut down and buy their ice for stor-
age purposes from those In working
order at cost price. 1t costs but a
little bit more to turn out 100 tons of
ice than It costs to turn out so. That
Is, once plant Is set going 1t can, with
very little more labor and power. turn

of course. ton Of ice made in a fac

much cheaper than ton made in one

100 PER CENT PATRIOTS

He made some sighting remarks
about the bonds and John Mollard

from going after him, and finally

talk him into buying a bond, but
could do nothing with him. and then
Mollard got little riled himself and
fired the fellow. He came out Of

Absorbent Cotton Twice Used.

Through the ingenuity Of French
chemist who was struck by the fact
that In the military hospitals of Paris
alone about 4,400 pounds OF, absorbent
cotton was used daily, process has
been developed which makes it posi-
BILE to use soiled cotton second time.
The first step is the removal Of all
grease by boiling ten or twelve hours
in soda solution, or by treating 1t
under pressure for three hours in q
sealed container filled with the same
solution. After this the cotton is thor
oughly washed in machine and all
the moisture removed by placing 1t In
a high-speed centrifugal drier. Drying
is followed by bleaching with hypO-
chlorine Of lime and n second washing
and drying. Finally the purified pro-
duct is carded, packed and again ster-
llized.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

subsidiary coinage 1t Is recommended
to coin ten-mill pieces and fve-mill
pieces. Below these 1t Is suggested
that a four-mill, three-mill and twO-mill
piece also be coined, and If found de-

AS the farthing is SO little used it is
not regarded as likely that anything
below the value Of half penny will be

The Kitchen In War Time.

The private kitchen has got to go.
1t is scarcely possible to doubt that
now. With gas and fuel at their pres
emit prices, and likely to mount stead
lily higher. the great majority, as winter
advances. will certainly be driven to
living in one room. The economy eff
fected by that simple measure will be
enormous. and 1t entails no very Sc
riOus hardship, given satisfactory ar
rangement of the cooking problem.
That problem could be practically
solved tomorrow by the voluntary sur
render, even In very limited degree,
of the domestic isolation In which the
British family lives. If every two
households agree to dine together only,
1t would be more than half solved. 1t
is matter In which the merits Of a
voluntary system over any compulsory
arrangement are more obvious even
than usual. But II the public contin-
ues to set Its face obstinately against
1t, the compulsion will certainly come.

DIFFERING IDEAS OF GENIUS
World Has Never Thoroughly Recoo-
nized Any One Definition Of High
ly Priced Quality.

Carlyle was much laughed at for
saying that genius was an infinite ca
paciV for taking pains. That does
not sound like genius; one imagines
genius as raveling its hair, whatever
travelling may be, and producing the i'm
mortal Word to the accompaniment Of
epileptic fits; absinthe also goes with
genius very we'll. But in reality genius.
/ suspect, Is q tanner affair and arises
easily enough in men like Rembrandt,
who painted pictures because he liked
doing 1t and because the sitters paid
him for their portraits. Much more
satisfactorily to Carlyle 1t arises in
men like Flaubert. who revealed much
Of his attitude in one phrase Of his cor.
respondence. "Today I have worked
sixteen hours and have at last finished
my page" Therein lies the. difference
between Flaubert and De Malpassant;
1t may be. too, that Bolleau was right
in advising the poet hundred times
to replace his work upon the bench,
endlessly polish 1t and polish 1t again,
but many instances of almost sponta-
neous creation cOnfronts us. It Is
enough to quote that in six years, be-
tween 1902 and 1908, Shakespeare ap-
pears to have written eleven plays,
among them Julius Caesar" "Ham-
let," "Othello," Macbeth" and king
Lear"
What shall we say, then, Of the
vague thing, genius, which is to man
kind what the thing we call soul Is to
manf For my part, I believe 1t to be
volcanic rather than sedimentary. It
is as If the spirit of the race accumu-
lated in a creature, the spirit of life
claiming to be born. Genius will out,
but it is most frequent in certain Pc
RODS of. human history, such as the
Elizabethan or Medicean, In certain
places, such as France, Italy and the
low countries, under certain influences,
such as oppression, war, revolution or
social decay.
That is an interesting catalogue and.
If history repeats itself, the future for
genius, us evidenced particularly in
art, would be black, for there have been
few periods where comfort, ease and
security bred genius. 1t is as If the
plant needed something to push
against. Everyday life becomes more
secure, justice more certain, property
more assured humanity grows fat and
the grease Of its comfort collects round
its heart. 1t is difficult to imagine ge-
MUS fiOurishing in a world perfectly
administered by city councils.-Har.
