HUNGER IN EUROPE
 KEEP BOYS THERE
The More Food We Save Here the Sooner the Soldiers Can
 Come Back

Hunger Means Disorder. Disorder in Europe means that our boys will have Co stay there for longer time. If Europe IS fed, the people will more quickly get back Co normal peace conditions. That will mean that thc Americans will not be need ed thcrc Co help put down uprisings and police Che countries that arc in state of unrest
 We can get our boys home by sav- ing more food. Shall we relax our efforts now? They want Co come home. win the housewives do any thing Co prevent it? They will de- lay it if they think they can stop saving meats. fats. sugar and wheat with the coming of peace.
 The question of food n Europe was one of Che most important points discussed at the council at Versailles where the terms of armistico were drawn up for Germany to sign. The representative Of the United States said that it was the wish of this country Co help aid the stricken peo- pie freed from thc Prussion yoke
 A typical American mother of @ soldier ought Co say now: "I want my boy Go come home soon. ! can do my part in getting him home if ] help feed thc people of Europe, for if they are fed. that will mean that they will have the strength and spir- it to settle their own affairs without the anarchy that always comes when there is hunger. I shall continue to savo food at my table with even more vigilance than have been using in wartime, because America has to send twenty million tons Of food. That is more than we promised a few months ago. when we thought the war would continue.
 "Do we American mothers want our boy shome soon? Save food, and follow the regulations of tho Food Administration, which will serve the country's interests until the peace terms have been signed"
 To Finish Work
 We have a surplus of 1S.0OO,OOC to 2O.OOO.OOO tons Of food-it wC are economical.
 All continental Europe is short oi meats, especially fats. Something over 2OO.OOO.OOO people are now ir social disorder.
 The peasant and villagor alwayi | provides for himself; the problem narrows to the cities until order il restored
 Arrangements have been complete, by which the big Allies will be pro visioncd-125.OOO.OOO people.
 Our first concern is now for th Iutuc Belgians. Serbians, Ar menians. Rumanians. Czcchs. Jugo sIavs. and other liberated nations 75.OOO.OOO. and to rescue from fam . inc 5O.OOO.OOO in northern Russia if we can reach them.

ELECTRIC FURNACE
 PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Short Description of New Two-Ton Heroult Electric Furnace Now
 in Operation

Tho two-ton Heroult electric steel furnace ut thc Trcadwell foun- dry has now been in operation for thc past two months The furnace may be described as a large cruciblc but differing In the fact that Che heat. instead of being applied to thc outside. is generated within by thrcc carbon electrodes. The furnace may also be likened Co a tIlting open hearth furnace.
 The electrodes are circular in cross-sectiou, twelve inches in di- ameter. and are held in adjustable water-jacketcd holders which are supported by Che furnace SO that the height Of each cloctrodc in the furnace is unaffected by the tiltIng movement The electrodes pass through archcd holes iu the roof and are protected at tho joints by watcr-cooled collars. The lower end of each electrodc is kept a short dis tancc above the metal, leaving a space for the electric arc. and the current ls regulated by raising and lowering tho electrodes This ad- iustment Is effected by automatic machinery controlled by an electric device actuotcd by a proportional part Of thc current passing to each clcctrodc.
 In making steel, lime is added to make a basic slag for the removal of phosphorus The removal Of Che phosphorus is effected by the oxidi- zatiou of Che ore In the charge and the lime is needed Co combine with thc oxidizcd phosphorus and retain .it in Che slag.
 The furnace is then tilted slightly and thc slos rabod out removing Che phosphorus. A fresh slog is made by adding lime and powdered coke; thc carbon of Che coke combines with Che lime. forming calcium carbide. The calcium carbide reacts with the sulphur in Che steel forming cal- rium sulphidc, which passes into Che slag, SO in this way both sulphur and phosphorus are eliminated.
 The second stage Of the process also serves to remove a large Quan- uty of oxygen or oxide of iron, which is dissolved in it. After the sulphur and oxygen are removed, suitable amounts of alloys and re- carbouizcr are added for the purpose of introducing the necessary amount of manganese. silicon and carbon. The furnace Is then tilted and Che metal poured into the ladlc.
 The electric furnace Is better than thc open-hearth for the pro- duction of steel that is very low in phosphorus and sulphur. In addi- ton Co this it is found that electric furnace steel is better mechanically than steel of similar composition made in the opon-hcarth furnace. This superiority appears to depend on the greater freedom from oxides and the density of electric furnace stcels.
 The electric furnace may also bc used for making @ superior grade Of gray iron. pig iron and ferro alloys. The furnace is under Che direct su- pervisiou of W. F. Cahill.

FIsHERMAN's LIFE
 IN ALASKAN WATERS
Schooner Panama Loses Two of Her Crew at Halibut Banks
 Near Yakutat

The following account ot 90 trag- eLy occurring Co the schooner Pan- anna. which has been in Gastineau Channel several times, Is taken from Che Seattle Times:
 Bringing Che first details of Che tragedy iu which she lost John Jen- sen and Elmer Elicsen. two of her fishermen. in Che stormy Nakataga banks between Cape st. Elias and Yakutat Che stout halibut schooner Panama. commanded by Capt Henry Austrcm. arrived at the weekend Co undergo repairs that will keep her iu shipyard close to a month.
 Jcnsen and Eliescn were lost shortly after o'clock thc evening of December 9. when their dory cap- sized iu trcacherous dead breakers caused by thc meeting of violent northeast seas and southwest swells. EIcscu was 27 years old and leaves bride of three months in Che Wind sor Apartments. Jensen was a bach clor. 3I years old. and leaves a fa- thcr iu Tromso. Norway
 For seventeen days before the tragedy Che Panama had been hove Co because ol storms. In one gale a great sea broke over the schooner, carrying away her forccasue light and doshing into the rorccastle with such force that it hurled one of the fishermen out of his bunk
 With che dawning of December 9, Che weather moderated Eight skates of fishing gear were let out 'u tbc afternoon. each skate being composed of seven of the long lines vith which che holIbut men fish.
 While tue weather continued mod crate. with a rising barometer Cap tain Austrcm. one Of Che best known and most suum Of Che halibut fleet masters. became suspicious Of fhc elements. and at o'clock or Igred out che dorics Co haul In Che gear. At that time there was al- most dead calm. Before long a sca began coming from thc north east that gained steadily in violence meeting Che southwest swells.
 As a prccaution. Captain Austrcm began running Che Panama at fun speed from dory Co dory. passing ,hc dory u which Jensen and ElIesen were at work only five minutes be- forc they went to their watcry
 graves. The purpose Of running the. schooner from dory Co dory was Go. have her close at hand iu the event of on accident. A furious wind spraug mp ot o'clock.
 When Che dory of Jensen and Eli ason capsizcd. darkness had fallen, but cach of Che small boats had a light Austrcm had just started picking up che dories when thc light Of Che Jensen and Elicscn boat dis appeared. Another dory. hauling on thc same skate os the capsized boat rut Che gear and made a desperate cTort Co reach the two men. but was handicapped by tho darkness. Both mon sank Co death in the raging seas.
 The same evening. Pierre An- sclme. the cook Of the Panama, was thrown on his feet by thc violent rolling Of the schooner and three of his ribs were broken. He Is now In a hospital in Prince Rupert. B. C. where the vessel sold her catch be- fore heading for Seattle. The catch, G2.O0O pounds, yielded a sum that gave each fisherman $492.91.
 "It was one Of the hardest expert cnccs ] have had on Che banks in years said Captain Austrmc. "and Che Panama suffered Co such an ex- tent that repairs will take nearly a month.
