In 1901 Mr.. Redmond, with Pat

again came TO America to explain to
the people OF the United States the
purpose and scope OF the United Irish

u. S, CONTROL OF
PACKING PLANTS

Senator Kenyon of Iowa today sug-
Eested at a meeting OF the Senate
Agricultural Committee that the Gov
ernment take over and conduct the
packing. business during the war.
Hank Reid. of Chicago, publisher OF
the Shepherds Journal, said that the
packers have absolute control Of the
meat supply OF the country and that
their profits last year were the
largest in their history.
The witness said that in his opinion
IT would be necessary for the Gov
ernment to take over the packing
business and fix prices. He declared
that under present conditions sheep
producers were losing from 81 to
50 a head He urged the necessity
OF immediate relief.

Redmond was born in 1851, the son
Of w. A. Redmond. member OF Par
lament from Ballytrent. He was first
elected to Parliament from New Ross
in 1851. In 1883 he was elected from
New Wexford. and in 1891 from
Waterford. He had visited America
several times. generally for the pur-
pose OF raising funds to push the
Home Rule movement. His son. VIII

Redmond received a good classical ed

Clongowes Wood. near Dublin. and
later at Trinity College. Dublin. where
he distinguished himself as a student
and won several prizes for scholar

After leaving college young Red
mond began to prepare himself for his
future parliamentary career. Through
his fathers influence he obtained a
position as clerk in the House OF Com
mons and the insight into parliamen-
tary methods and practices which he
gained in that position was OF ma
terial help TO him later on. when he
became q member OF Parliament him
self. He also devoted himself to the
study OF law and eventually became a
barrister of Gray's Inn. and a year
later OF the Irish bar. But he never
practiced his profession to any great
extent, because his political duties oc-
cupied nearly all his time. Fortunate
ly his wealth permitted him to sacri-

His parliamentary career during the
first ten years, although exceedingly
stormy. did not give Mr. Redmond an
opportunity to gain public distinction.

On account of better shipping fuc. iHties and the good crops, the sugal lations have been increased to three pounds of sugar per person per month instead of two pounds monthly as haS been in vogue ror the past four moG- ths. This is the new authorization ef- fective now, received by local food ad- minisrrator WhittlcSey from Temito" ial Food Administrator Bradley.
 Three pounds are also allowed to restaurants to every ninety meals. Purchasers may buy only one mont' supply at one time.

"But the properties needed in lubrican.
are physical. Why do we use lubricants al
all? Most people Will readily answer, to
make machinery go more easily. We may
put this more scientifically by expressing it
as the desire to lessen the friction between
moving surfaces and 50 TO get more value
out of some motive power. This is not all
of the subject for we also wish to lesser
the and tear between the surfaces
The physics of lubricants is sometimes ex-
pressed the substitution of liquid for
solid friction, for whenever lubricant Is
used the frictional wear and tear is trans
ferred to it. The more solid set of lubri-
cants seem to interpose between the moving
surfaces a sort of series of rollers and ALI
lubricants interpose sort of separat-
ing surface. Oils separate by the film which
they make, and they are said to have more
or less body in proportion as they are
capable of maintaining a flQa It is this
property that distinguishes lubricant from,
any other liquid which is Just as viscous
Olliness, again, is way of describing this
film maintaining property and unless an oil
is oily enough to maintain a film between
the moving parts when the loads are most
heavy its uses are restricted Animal and

more body than mineral oils; but some

The form Of the surfaces which meet
has, of course, much to do with friction. and
lubrication would be much more diflcu.s
problem If it were not for the fact that
cylindrical bearings are what the chemist
has most to provide for. But the nature OF
the problem would not be correctly gauged
II we did not realize that good lubricant
can diminish the friction between surfaces
as much as 1000 times, and the energy lost
is directly proportional TO the friction in
the same way that the wearing of bearings
depends directly upon the effectiveness os

Bridge at Monmouth commanded one of the
most vital arteries of the West
"Of the defensive towers of these unique
bridges, that of the Monnow is the least
changed and best preserved. 1t bears a
singular likeness to the tower of a notable
war bridge in the French Pyrenees, and,
like that structure, has loopholes for de-
fence by crossbow and suitable apertures
for pouring down molten lead or boiling oil
on assailants. The gate tower of Wark>
worth is still sturdy affair, though pierced
for the convenience Of modern traffic; but
the defensive turrets of Stirling Bridge
Of which there are two at either end-have
a more slender bulk in perfect harmony
with what has been happily described as the
'rhythmicap quality of its graceful arches.
Even though we possess only these three
examples of fortified bridges, how comes it
that their lesson has been lost upon modern
bridge builders? The matter is more urgent
than ever in these days of bombing air
planes, which could make swift havoc of
vital lines of communication. Those who
are familiar with our most important rail-
way bridges, such as those over the Tay
and Forth and Tyne, do not need to be re-
minded how vulnerable they are to aircraft

bcdded in the concrete, the question also
arises how to protest it from corrosion
large percentage of this can only be covered
by thin coating of mortar. Therefore,
special means must be taken to take care of
this situation The steel may be galvanized
or painted with some covering that will not
in any marked degree affect the bond An
alternative is to coat the concrete with some
material that will keep the steel surface
free from both water and air. Here again

"Then our old friend, the barnacle, long
the plague of steel bottoms, and from time
immemorial of wooden bottoms, has to be

into the bore, thus bringing the calibre
to 100, for example, the proportion to the

exercised on the new projectile by the gas

THE process of introducing an addi-

Lyman and Haskell expected to attain

was considerable for that period. but the
experiments did not confirm their expecta-
tions and they could not get higher speed
than 500 yards per second while consuming
elghty-four pounds of powder. Their ideas
were correct, but their failure was due to
the lrregularity Of the combustion of the
powder employed and the insufficient length
of the cannon to benefit from the addi-
