Getting Rid Of Marble Waste.

The waste Of a Vermont marble
quarry Is reduced by crushers and
rolls to fragments Of one-half inch or
less, and is then burned into quicklime.
The rotary kiln for this purpose is 3
feet In diameter and 20 feet long, In
Glined 4 per cent from the horizontal.
It IL driven by belt from SO-horse
power motor, and has speed Of 90 to
Is revolutions per second. Producer
gas introduced at the lower end yields
q Temperature Of 2,200 degrees b.
This converts the rock fragments into
quicklime by driving OF the carbonic
acid gas, and the hot material drops
from the lower end Of the kiln into q
rotating cooling cylinder. In this
cylinder the draft Of air passing to
ths burning gas cools the product Tor

Learning Deadly Aim.

The skill with which American gun
ners frustrated the attacks Of U-boats
was due, in large measure, to the
use of an ingenious target for gun
practice during the voyages. The de.
vice consisted Of framework, about
thirty feet long and five feet wide,
built to be drawn through the water,
with an imitation coming tower and
periscope mounted on the upper side.
It was drawn behind the ship by
means Of two cables attached one above
the other. BY pulling on the upper one,
the upper side of the frame was made
to project forward, causing the target
to rise to the surface, while by pull
ing on the lower cable the device
would quickly submerge. Officers out
of sight Of the gunners manipulated
the apparatus, frequently changing
the range by paying out or taking In
the cables.

carburetor Uses Kerosene.

An automatic carburetOr has been
developed In England for which aston
ishing claims are made. The details
of its construction are withheld, but
its performance is said on good au'
thority to be remarkable. During a
demonstration test it was used on q
two-cylinder, six-horsepower motor
cycle. The start was made with the
engine cold and the float chamber half
filled with gasoline. The change to
kerosene, while under way, produced
no noticeable difference In the per-
Torrance Of the engine. There was no
knocking on grades, no smoke, no
odor. The cylinders fired crisply, the
pickup was quick, the firing regular at
all speeds, and the power all that could
be desired. 1t Is even claimed that,
with the new carburetor, gallon OF
kerosene will drive the motorcycle
and sidecar the unheard-0f distance OF
98 miles, but there Is no official con-
firmation Of this statement

Clean, Cool Milk,

1t is a simple matter to produce q
high quality Of milk when q person
knows how. There is nothing mysteri-
ous about it. Only q few fundamental
factors must be considered. The uten-
sils, including strainer, milk pals, and
cans, must be kept clean. As soon as
the milk is drawn, it should be placed in
clean cans In cold water. II ice water
can be provided it is better than cold
we'll water, which in the northern states
has temperature OF 4S to 80 degrees.
If care Is taken to pump sufficient
quantity of we'll water and stir the milk
several times shortly after it is placed In
the tank, little or no difficulty will be
found in the production of the highest
quality of both milk and cream.
1t is important, of course, that the
COWS be kept clean and we'll bedded
stalls provided. 1t is highly desirable
that the mixer have clean hands and
during the process of milking prevent
foreign material of any kind from falling
into the milk. But the two most impor-
tsnt factors in the production of high
class raw material are clean utensils and
cooling the milk Immediately after 1t is
drawn to q temperature below IS de-
grees F., and lower If there is supply
of ice.
The loss that comes to the dairy indus
try through sour milk and low quality
of cream is tremendous In the aggregate.
Every summer thousands of pounds of
milk are thrown away because 1t has not
been properly produced. 1t is sour be-
fore 1t reaches the creamery, cheese fac
tory, or condensery. Our attention was
called only recently to this by the super
intendent of condensery who said that
q number of times last summer whole
loads of milk which came considerable
distance had to be destroyed, a. 1t was
unfit to be made into condensed milk.
This loss is distributed, the producers
and the condensery sustain 1t. But
such losses need not follow II the pro-
ducer will but follow the two vital prin-
ciples necessary to produce clean milk,
namely: clean milk utensils and quick
cooling after milk Is produced. Bear In
mind also that clean methods OF hand
ling milk are important.-Hoard's Dairy

Germany Has Lost Mexican Trade.

Germany Has Lost Mexican Trade.
All the drinking glasses and most
of the jewelry sold in the Salinas Crus
district of Mexico are Of American
manufacture, according to recent re-
mort from Norton F. Brand, United
States consul at Selinas Cruz. Prior
to the war all the jewelry and glass
ware were imported from Germany
and Spain. The war has eliminated
Germany entirely from the Mexican
markets and the activity Of American
business men has been so great that
imports from Spain have been mate
rally reduced.
But Mr.. Brand warns American
manufacturers that the goblets and
tumblers they ship to Mexico are too
small. The tropics are thirsty CLINE
and Mexicans drink deeply. Mr.. Brand

INSTRUMENTATION AND
SAVINGS.
An Alien Will be Interested Only
In That of Which He Is Part.

Much has been spoken and written
concerning Americanization Of the
foreign-born, and many methods. more
or less good, have been devised.
OF course, the immigrant should first
know English. He will be more inter.
ested In American institutions when
he can understand what Is written
and spoken about them.
He comes to the United States be-
cause he expects to better his condi.
tion,-be better housed, have better
food, better clothing, better opportuni'
ties for his children. Sometimes he
acquires all this-and more. Often he
Is disappointed. He is thrifty; indeed,
It is said of him that II forced to work
for ten cents a day he would find a
way to save at least one; but unless
his savings are we'll invested they are
like the talent in the napkin.

WHAT THE CHILDREN DO.
They Work as Seriously as Grown
Folk to Help Discharge Uncle
Sans War Liabilities.
Stamp, stamp, stamp,
Who'll buy a stamp?"

There is never a doubt Of It; the
school children will! They'll save
their pennies from candy and gum and
the movies, and what they cannot
save they will earn. Do you know
that in a certain New England school
of 1900 children coming from families
of only moderate and very modesty
moderate means, the children own
several thousands of dollars worth Of
War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps bought mostly from their own
earnings? This is in addition to Lib
erty Bonds, which are owned quite ex-
tensively and many of which were
paid for in whole or In part by the
children. It is in addition also to VIC
tory pledges, Rcd Cross Memberships,
and dozen other things that have
appealed to their patriotism and their
sympathies for contributions.
This Is what one little girl said;
II worked this summer and earned
two dollars week. l gave 1t all to
my mother. My mother gave me
twenty-five cents week for working.
I saved the twenty-five cents and
bought some of my stockings and hair
ribbons and few other little things
that needed.
81 also own some War Savings
Stamps. l paid for my own War SaE.
tngs Stamps. 1 earned 1t In the same
way as buy my bond. do not spend
more than five cents a week for
candy"
Heroic Louise says simply: Last
summer earned money for Thrift
Stamps like tbs: On hot days my
mother gave me Ave cents to get ice
cream with, but saved It for Thrift
Stamps. That Is how earned money
for the bank and Tariff Stamps."

ment; then impress upon him the i'm.
portance of becoming part Of Il, by
investing his money in Thrift and War
Savings Stamps.
The appeal to the pocket Is per.
petual. Once an investor, his interest
will be bound up with that Of the
American people, and he will become
of permanent value as q citizen and a
neighbor. His children will emulate
his example, and invest their pennies
In Thrift Stamps instead Of frtttering
them away on useless things.
A pertinent example of what may
result from interesting the children
of aliens Is the experience Of Freddie
Hadge. a ten-year-old Syrian boy, on
the final day Of the great drive In
October, 1918. This is his story:
"The Syrians were called to sell
liberty Bonds1on the Common. I
helped them carry the things from
the car TO the stand which they had.
I was asked to sell Liberty Bonds to
help them. Then I went to sell Lib
erty Bonds. After awhile sang Keep
