Made We Oiden COOK Pots.
kelly was a maker of old-fashioned
cooking pots and kettles. 1t is re-
lated that one day he was sitting in
front of his furnace and observed
point of incandeScence where there
was no charcoal-only the metal and
the air. This led him to contend that
air alone would burn out the impuri-
ties from molten iron.
"When he developed his fitting con-
verter his engineer blew such ire
mendous blast through the first
charge that iron and all went up as
sparks. To his discontinue and the
crowds amusement. He finally sue
ceeded i'm getting the amount Of air

verter the first BpSSemer steel. Peo-
pie said Kelly would soon be burning

used. billions Of dollars worth of steel
has flowed out of the worlds convert

Both Kelly and Bessemer were baf-
fed by the problem Of regulating the

essential To steel. Furthermore, their
products frequently proved to he brit

metal absorbed oxygen from the air

eventually by the eXpedient of burn
ing out practically all the carbon, then
adding exactly the amount required
for the specific quality Of steel de-
sired
The second difficulty was overcome
through the addition of manganese to
take care Of the hurtful oxygen. The
latter suggestion was the contribution
of Robert F. Mushet. a Scotch steel
maker. GoranSon. a Swedish ironmas-
ter. had previously achieved the same
results by using a pig iron initially
rich in manganese. Thereafter I'M

BY DR.. HENRY LOUIS SMITH,
President, Washington and Lee Uni.
versity, Lexington, Va.

The marvellous rise to leadership OF
college-bred men at home and abroad
during the world war. has silenced all
pre-war criticism of the American col
lege. ALI are now enthusiastic in its
praise as the nursery Of American
leadership, not only in science and en-.
cheering, but in morals and public
service. The next ten years will be
memorable as period Of unprecedent-
ed university growth and expansion.
In this benefcent rivalry Of public
service there is ample room and need
for all kinds of institutions, local and
national, Church and State, liberal and
technical
One class, however, which has done
a notable work in the past, is peculiar
ly fitted to respond to the needs and
nurture the ideas of the national non
seotarian, non-sectional era of cooper
alive democracy now before us. | re-

which are Independent and self-gov-
erning, free from party politics and
ecclesiastical control, Independent OF

the future, even more than in the past.
they are to be the melting pot where
students of all sections and political
creeds will be fused into the new ide.
ais of tolerance and cooperation.
Yet this is the group now facing the
most serious financial emergency OF
their history. With no legislative ap-
preparations, tax revenues. or church
organizations behind them, their 6nan.
! cial support has always come from the
voluntary contributions Of their
friends and alumni. ALI who have
even casual acquaintance with high
Ter education know the tuition fees
have never paid half the necessary ex-
penses of such colleges and universi-
ties. Their endowments have been
their chief source of revenue.

Wisconsin to the Rescue
of the Private Colleges

Within the last four years the Dur-
chasing power Of endowment revenues
has been diminished by one-half. while
college teachers. impoverished and suf-
fering. are everywhere clamoring for a
more ADEQUATE remuneration and are
deserving college teaching by thous-
ands for Industrial employment. New
er was expansion In buildings, equip
ment, and teachers SO urgently called
for, yet never were these improve
ments SO costly or the colleges 30 un-
able to finance them.
No wonder that in this unparalleled
combination of emergency and oppOr-
tunity the friends Of these keynote in
situations are everywhere organizing
for their relief The Harvard alumni
are raising 100000. The friends OF
Princeton have set their figure at $14.-
100000. The Massachusetts Institute
of Technology Is raising $4,000, 900.
Every institution not supported by
Church or State must be aided fnan-
cially by it's friends and alumni or see
its hands tied and its usefulness di-
minished at the very hour Of Its great
est opportunity.
Wisconsin sets the pace for Virginia
as well as for the rest Of the states
of the Union. Here the privately en-
dowed colleges of the state. regardless
Of whether UNCONVENTIONAL or monde
nominational, Catholic or Protestant,
have joined hands to work out their
common problems. Today they are ac-
Quainting the people Of the state with
their needs During the last week In
October they will appeal for $4,000. 900
to be distributed among the eight in
stitutions on basis of student hours
and to be used by them in increasing
the salaries of the members of their
faculties. in employing larger and
more competent faculties. in construct
ing new buildings and In getting mod
ern equipment and in enlArging en-
dowmeiltS.
Again Wisconsin leads the way.

Rubies and Sapphires Are
the "JeWeIs" in Watches
Higher Value Than Diamond

There are in every good watch from
to 81 "jewels." Some of them are
rubies, others sapphires-two kinds
of gem stones rated much higher in
market value than the diamond. These
sapphires and rubies, furthermore,
must, to serve the matchmaking pur-
pose, be fiawless.
The watchmakers get them cheap,
because the gem stones used for this
purpose are Of inferior color and bril-
liancy-useless even IL they were big
ger, for jewelry.
A watch is said to 'run" on so
many stones. The more valuable the
timepiece the greater the number of
stones used in its makeup. The tiny
gems, pierced to receive the axles of
wheels, offer a minimum Of friction,
and do not wear out easily.
Enormous quantities Of these watch
jewels are cut in Switzerland. To
each stone is given a rounded form
with a hole through the center.

How Sharp Soft Pine Stick
May Be Used for Lettering

A storekeeper, who wished to make
some large signs with heavy letters,
Whitfield one end of soft-pine stick
down to sharp, broad edge, and used
it to letter the cards. A tool made OF
this kind of wood works equally well
with ink or paint and, in the hands of
an amateur, will make much cleaner
letter than brush. The whitfield end
resembles the chisel edge on a red
sable lettering brush, so that the Ordi-
nary motions are made in using it
but, being more rigid, it demands less
skill on the part of the workman.

principles, which are not hard
to understand when lifted out
of the morass of technical discus
sion and freed from legal and
diplomatic language. AS the
one authority best able to pre-

has been asked to put the
league idea into a few plain

of Americans who desire a bet
