BESSEMER IRON AND STEEL
Original Process Involved Decarbonixa- ton, or Burning Out os Excess
 Carbon, by Blowing Air.

Henry Bessemer. who invented the method named for him in the manufac- ture of iron and steel, which revolu- tionized the industry, was granted a patent by the British government on October 17, 1855. This was the first patent given him. notes an exchange Additional patents were taken out in the following December and February, covering improvements. Bessemer's original process involved decarbOniza- lion. or the burning out of the excess carbon. by blowing air through pig iron. T!:iS revolutionary invention was due indirectly to the Crimean war.
 R-s>rIncr undertook to invent ar i'm proved cannon but found all available metals too weak for the gun he sought ro make. He then began experiments in steel making, with the ultimate re suit of the production of "Bessemer steel" His invention won for him fame and fortune and the honor of knight hood. Sir Henry Bessemer was born in England, but was of French Hugue- not descent. Since his pioneer invcn- tion, the process of converting iron in- to steel has been vastly improved.

She had never seen a baby before and from her articulate joy one might think that she had waited for this moment all her life. Mrs. H. waa pleased to see that the,girl was'so will ing. The baby was wrapped up and they started. Two minutes later Mrs. H. looked out of the window and her face froze with horror. Instead of rolling gently down the sidewalk the way . baby should her child was being plloted majestically down the middle of the street in the midst of automo- biles and delivery wagons.

seem to have considered the war prob lens in this light. although the presi- dent has said that peoples rather than armies are waging the war. During the first siA months of the American war there were 5000 recorded strikes in the United States, most of which affected some phase of the govern ment's war problems. Probably 1.- 900. 900 men were involved in the different strikes and walkouts during the critical period of our preparations for the struggle.
 Obviously, there is something wrong about wasing war in such wise. From the standpoint of actual results not considering the disastrous moral effect it would have produced. the United States could have better af- forded to have a strike of 1000, 900 soldiers than 100000 men in the intuition plants, coal mines, ship yards, lumber camps and the other in dustries which are contributing di- rectly to our military preparations. Yet no serious effort has been made to correct this condition except to send out mediation boards to spend days or weeks in adjusting the points in dispute. There is no efficiency in that only inefficiency and short ,sD sDht would be to work out a system to prevent rather than to mediate labor troubles in time of war
 After a time we may even get around to that-but meanwhile we are losing valuable seconds. minutes, hours and days in dilly-dallying. En- gland has solved the problem by strict government regulation of both em- ployer and the employe, assuring jus tice to both and making it a penal of- fense to agitate a strike. England learned her lesson by hard experience. With England's example before us we have done nothing. Meanwhile the country is reaping the harvest of it's delays.
 If the war continues indefinitely and that is the basis on which we must lay our plans-the United States must handle the labor question intel ligently. directly and fearlessly. The industrial strikes which marred the first months of our war operations at home were a disgrace. Not to pre- vent a repetition of them in 1918 would be a national crime.

That Bore of . Fond Parent.
 Of course, you have bright young ster who says and does amusing things, asserts a writer.
 But all children do.
 Your child has not a monopoly.
 If you wish to be classed with the worst of bores, continue your constant eulogy of all that your child says or does.
 If, tor instance, some other child said or did what your boy or girl does. would you think 1t so excruciatingly funnyr
 Every bright, healthy, intelligent child is delightful in the unfolding.
 To each fond father and mother the particular angles of understanding, as they come to light, are most interest ing.
 But the youngster is chiefly interest ing to yourself.
 You see traits and characteristics In the light of what you know you are yourself. That is what makes 1t sound so funny.
 How about the mean little tricks that your own child has and that you cannot get away fromf They all have them, too. Do you tell these things7 No.
 Then your wonderful tales are mere ly another form of braggadoci0. How about 1t?

SOMEWAY or another we AlaskanS cannot even get up a thrill over the statement by Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, the former silk whiskered Populist of the State of Washington. that Russia will invade this territory unless the government owns the railways. Jim Ham has all ways been an alarmist. There has nev- CT been time since we can remem- Der the eloquent senator when his pink whiskers were not floating in the breeze thru his running from some imaginary evil. In his populistic days he predicted all sorts of dire cal amities for the state of Washington in case it continued to elect republi- cans and democrats instead of pOpu- lists; but the electors went ahead and drew its officers as usual and it came to pass that the state waxed Opulent and mighty It might be good thing for the government to own the rail roads-that is if the people don't give a hang what kind of service they get
 but the idea of Rusisa invading AL aska is too ridiculous to even think of. The advance in passenger and freight rates will shut them off if nothing else. Jim Ham run across d bottle of caviar and became excited.

STINCL.ATINGT THE GERMAN
 NERVES

The pan Germans. or militarist party, is reported to be in full power in Germany, despite the undertone of protest against the war that has aris- en from the masses. The Hindenburg policy of holding out" and the Tir- pitz injunction of steady nerves" are still dominant. The people are in the iron grip of the kaiser and his band of Prussian junkers.
 No doubt one reason for the strength of the imperialists is that, by clever sort of official camouflage, directed chiefly through the press, the German people are convinced that they are winning negatively if not positively. The inroads of the subma- rines. according to the pabulum fed the German people are such that En- gland has been seriously crippled and war will be nil. The food situation in the allied nations also probably is giv- en the loud pedal by the militarists.
 Our own internal problems during the past few weeks, no doubt, have been welcome subject for the mould CTS of public opinion in Germany. American industries shut down; coal famine throughout country: war at standstill"-such. perhaps are about the kind of headlines sent screaming into the Berlin streets. Or, possibly Wilson repudiated at home; senate demands war cabinet" may be the tone of the dispatch from America. It may be expected that these things will be distorted to mislead the Ger man public, just as much other infor- nation that indicates slackening in our war efforts is shaped to meet the wishes of the militarists.
 It is evident that the war makers are determined to keep vise-like grip on the situation, by whatever means may be necessary and there is little question that so far they have succeeded. The probability of internal troubles. even in the face of serious conditions at home. is remote. By a process of levitation the German courage is being kept up and all our war plans must recognize the fact that although sure to be defeated, Ger many is still powerful

PlDGlN ENGLISH IS POPULAR
In China the Lingo 10 used by Both Servants and Employers h
 Speaking to Each Other.

In China servants speak pidgin. or business. English to their employers ; and servants from different parts of China will use this weird language in speaking to each other. The formation of the sentence is the same as in Chi nese; the language itself Is an extra ordinary mixture of English. POrtu- guese. French and Chinese. Some of the phrases, says Mrs. De Burgh Daily in An Irishwoman in China, are very quaint and amusing.
 A bishop is called "NO. 1, top side joss pidgin man." "Top side" means heaven, joss" god, "pidgin," busi- ness.
 There is story of two men who came to call upon the king of Siam when he was staying in Shanghai. They entered the hotel and asked the proprietor, a courteous American, If his majesty were at home.

 Have got, sir," replied the boy cheerfully.
 "His majesty is at home, gentle men," translated the proprietor.

 "Yessir."
 "wantchee walkee can come talkee! Savveer
 "All right. sir; my savvee."
 Servants quickly nnd out our likes and dislikes in food, and act accord ingly. A friend of mine was fond of snipe, and often ordered them for din ner. One evening. when an unexpected guest arrived. she told Boy that since there were not enough snipe she would not eat one. Presently Boy nudged her and remarked in loud whisper:

T HE TOWN OF VALDEZ
 is situated at the head of
 Prince William Sound, and is city of probably one thou sand population. It is the center of the mining industry on the Sound, both copper and gold, and is adjacent to and within easy hauling distance of the salmon grounds, many fresh water rivers and streams in Valdez Bay bring ing the fish in great numbers to within ght of the town. The city has one good cannery, which will operate two lines the coming season. employing probably one hundred and fifty persons.
 The city offers good opportuni- ties for a fish saltery, a fertilizer factory. glue factory, a tin can factory and a box shook factory, all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns its own wharf and the Valdez Dock Com pany. which also owns splendid wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors a chance for sites.
 VALDEZ has progressive citizenry, with good high schools, churches, free reading room and library, goed clubrooms and many lodges and organizations. Rents are very cheap, and living is but little higher than in the States.
 Many gold and copper mines are contiguous to Valdez, making this city their out6tting port, and drawing from its reserve of labor. The climate is very healthful, the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury rarely falls below IS in the win ter and 70 above is the highest summer temperature. The sum- mers are delightful and the win ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal of the government military high way to the Interior. During the summer months autos may reach Fairbanks from Valdez in 36 hours running time, over a fine road, through the most magnif- cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent. In winter teams or dog sleds may be had at all times.
 VALDEZ has a number of first class hotels and restaurants, and the traveller and, miner can be as- sured of comfortable lodgings a minimum expense. Parties de- string to outfit for mining or pros- pecting can do SO at our stores far cheaper than in the States, with men of experience to help se- lect their outfits.
