SUGAR FOR COAL.

Prague, Czecho-Slovakia. (By

bargaining commodity for the Cze
cho-Slovaks. The territory controlled
by the Czecho-Slovaks has been one

quick to recognize this, and also saw
the need of satisfying Europe's

Tho trouble arises over the action
of the government in limiting the
output OF intoxicants, and reducing
the gravity of all beer brewed in
Great Britain. The Liquor Control
Board was instituted at the begin

tions were admittedly necessitated
by war demands on labor and food
supplies. Saloon-keepers were dras-
tically rationed with a percentage Of

government ale" of lower gravity,
to be retailed at lower price, was
sanctioned, but this was never liked,
and increased taxation compelled re-
tainlers and brewers to raise prices
on other grades Before the war a
glass-half-pint - of common ale
could be obtained for two cents or
three cents, while better class "bit-
ter" or "stout" cost four cents per
half-pint, or seven cents a pint il
retailed for consumption off the
premises. Even with post-armistice
reductions these prices are more
than doubled.

Improved Rlvet Cutter.

A pneumatic rivet cutter for use in
structural steel work and in repair
shops consists of Il long barrel, with
compressed air connection at one end
and a chisel at the other, the stem
of the chisel being held by Il cOiled
spring, which draws ii back after eacn
stroke. A plunger travels freely in
the barrel or tube, and a small bypass
pipe connects the ends of this tube.
Two men are employed, the one at
the rear operating the valve and the
one at the front keeping the chisel
against the rivet head. The force of
the blow can be regulated by the valve.
Air pressure of 80 to 80 pounds may
be used, the higher pressure being the
more effective. a punch can be in
serted in place of the chisel for back
ing out the rivets. In the larger size
the stroke is 40 inches, and the weight
Of the machine complete is only 80
pounds. A smaller size will cut rivets
up to three-eighths of an inch in diam
eter.

When bitten by an animal that is
suspected as mad, the best thing to do,
according to Drs. ]. c. Regan and A.
Silkman of New York, who describe a
recent case in Archives of Diagnosis, is
TO squeeze the wound to encourage
bleeding, wash it with a solution Of
mercuric chloride Il in 1,OOO), cauter-
ize it with fuming nitric acid, and ap-
ply wet dressing of the mercuric
chloride solution.
The wound should never be sewn up !;
if a deep punctureG wound, it should
be cut open with a Scalpel.
The sooner this treatment is applied
the more likely it is to be successful.

MASTER OF ART OF WooING

There are experts in all lines. but

to the MissoUrian who is locked up in

Cleaning Rusted Tools.

Elbow grease is usually the best
thing to use when cleaning rust from
steel, but the following manner has
also been suggested: Fasten the steel
tightly to a piece of zinc by means of
wire and place it in a jar containing
water to which sulphuric acid has
been added. Leave it there until the
rust has disappeared. If the article
is very rusty add a little more acid
from time to time. The process by
which the rust is removed is electrical.
The steel being in contact with the
zinc short-circuited battery cells are
formed, and the rust is reduced to iron
again by electrO-chemical action. The
steel will become darkened by the
process, but will regain its brightness
if rubbed with. sweet oil or a mixture
of petrOlatum and kerosene.

CAUSES OF BROKEN ROMANCE
Reasons Why Loves Young Dream
Is RudeIy Shattered.

Engagement breaking is in season.
"The marriage arranged between
Captain y and Miss Y will not now
take place" That cold print end to
romance can be read any day now in
the society columns of the papers. II
is becoming a habit.
Experts who study these matters
declare that the percentage of broken
engagements has never been so high.
and they set down several reasons,
says the London Daily Express. The
main one is:
The great khaki Illusion. (a) The
woman: "YOu would not believe how
different he looked in his civilian suit,
my dear. 1 simply couldn't do it," (b)
The man: "She was awfully charm
ing as driver in the WOmea's legion,
but when saw her in one of the new
evening gOwns-well, it just couldn't
happen"
The house famine is given as an
other cause. Two young people who
believe themselves to be twin souls
go out and try to find a future home.
1t is physically impossible for any
persons temper to stand the strain
of present-day hOuse-hunting. They
quarrel, and there is another broken

ating exercises at the United States
Naval academy today. declared the
closing OF hostilities did not mean the
United States navy could rest on Its

The asa members of the graduating

to apply all their Initiative and energy
in the task OF developing the efficiency
of the navy.
"You are coming into the navy In "a
period that will challenge all your re-
source and initiative" said Secretary
Daniels. you must not imagine for a
moment that because the war Is ended
the navy will or can rest upon its oars,
All your force and energies are needed,

decline, but shall move constantly for

ficiency and making new records and
new discoveries. The navy. has made a
great record in war. Let us make a
greater record in peace"
Secretary Daniels reviewed the record
OF the navy's inventive enterprise and
will overcome obstacles manifested dur
Ing the war as a vital contribution to
the final result. This record, he said,
challenged the enterprise and inventive
genius of American naval officers for
all future time.

unthinkable and solve the unsolvable,"
declared the secretary, who will dare
to tackle the problems that have so long
puzzled the world"
