Three New Members Are
Admitted to Troop 20

The regular business meeting of
Troop 20 was held last Friday eve
ming. Three new applicants were
admitted to membership = Alfred
Doyle, Jacob Harder and Howard
Shanffer. This brings the troop
membership to thirty.
This evening plans will be made
for an all-day hike to be held soon,
also for the celebration of the
troops birthday which comes on
June 4. Scouts who have not passed
all requirements for Scout pace will
be given chance to take this test
this evening.

1.-THE Bluebird," by Maurice Maeter-

the Regent Theater
"The Hluebfrd" yesterday. 1t will

In this masterpiece, Maeterlinck has

aside the veil of the future, and has
given a vivid reminder of the past.
He has shown that the pursuit of
happiness leads to all quarters of the
globe, when, as a matter of fact, true
happiness is at our doors, unrecog-
nized. Everything in our daily life.
INCLUDING Fire, Water, Bread, Sugar,

is carried by two children. who go

COPPER CON sumption

AS EXAMPLE, BATTLEsHiP IDA

100000 POUNDS.
Engineering and Mining JournaD

Engineering and Mining JournaD
At the present time, when so tre-
mendous a program of shipbuilding is
in progress, it is interesting to con-
slider the quantity of copper required
for this purpose alone. In the Jour-
nal of March rs, 1916, we published an
article on this subject. to which ref
erence may now usefully be made
The following is quotation from that
article:
"Generalizing, however, for the or
binary first class cargo vessel having
about 10000 tons dead weight, en-
gines of 5000 to 1000 i.hp. and speed
Of 10 to IA knots, the requirement for
copper and the copper content of the
brass, bronze, ETC., ranges from about
1O0,0 900 pounds to about 100000 pounds.
A ship of 10000 tons d.w., 5000 i.hp.
and 12-knot speed might be built with
the lower of those figures If there
were no special requirements as to
copper. The upper of the two figures
probably represents the maximum
that would be used in ship of this
class. Judging from the data supplied
by six large shipbuilding companies,
the use of 10000 pounds for 10,-
000-ton ship would probably be not
far away from the actual average.
1.-The copper is used in the form of
brass and copper tubes, condenser
tubes, wire, sheet copper, propeller
blades and numerous castings made
from alloys containing copper The
figures that are stated represent only
the quantity of copper purchased by
the shipbuilders as raw copper or
trass. They do not include the cop
per in valves, cocks, pumps and many
auxiliary fittings that are purchased
from other manufactures. AS for the
consumption by the shipbuilder him.
self, the quantity is about equally di-
vided between copper and copper in
brass. For example, concern build
Ing lU,VUU-loIl snip lll5Hl Uuy 5V-
900 pounds of copper and 100000 lbs
of brass. Reckoning the copper con-
tent of the latter at 100000 pounds,
the total purchase of copper for this
ship would be 100000 pounds"
The plans for shipbuilding in the
United States contemplate the provi-
sion of 100000 tons in 1918. That
figure may not be attained, but as
Stunning that it might be, there would
be consumption of about 90,000,000
pounds of copper for that purpose
alone. Shipbuilding in Great Britain
and other foreign countries will great
ly increase that total. AS to the con-
sumption Of copper in naval shipbuild-
ing, we can not form any idea, for no
one of the governments reveals the
extent of it's naval construction. Ships
of war require vastly more copper than
do merchant ships. For example,
battleship like the U. S. S. Idaho re-
quires 100000 to 100000 pounds of
copper and brass. without any doubt
the requirements for copper in such
construction, both here and in Europe,
are huge.
