GRAPHITE MINING IN CANADA
Now Has Become Scienoe-New Milling
Process Makes Product Equal to Best.

Graphite mining in Canada has become
a science. 1t was speculation-and rath-
err Improbable at that--until the Spear
man devices in particular and fotation
practice in general solved the problem of
saving the larger flake, leaving the infe-
rior grades in negligible quantities. At
least four Canadian graphite mills have
demonstrated that Charles Spearman,
graduate of Queens and postgraduate of
Columbia, can provide graphite for cru
cibles-graphite so standardized that it
can be disposed of in competition with
the Ceylon product, and which actually
is being sold at from II to Is cents a
pound
One Canadian mine and mill located
near Perth, Ont.--tlnanced, designed and
constructed by Canadian SCIENTISTS
achieving producing record that insures
its enterprising owner very satisfactory
returns upon his capital. The plant,
when extended, is said to be capable of
putting out as much high grade carbon
as the whole state of Alabama-now the
chief American source of graphite. In
this forecast Mr.. Spearman is sustained
by his associates. Two other plants in
Ontario and another in Quebec, equipped
with simple mechanism which effects
maximum recovery of the graphite con
tent while eliminating whatever detract-
ed from such products in the past, estab-
lish the fact that Mr. Spearman has rem
dered distinctive service.-New York

Cooling Beverages for Hot Days.

There are many wonderfully tasty

MAKING EVERY EFFORT
no GET MEXICAN BANDITS
Mexican Authorities After Three Armed
Men Who Held Up and Robbed
American Sailors on
July 6.

Washington, July 22.-Three Mexicans
in civilian clothes, two of them armed
with rifles, constituted the band which
held up and robbed American sailors who
were on official duty in launch from
the Monitor Cheyenne, near Tampico on
July 6. A full report on the incident
was received yesterday from Commander
Finney of the cruiser Topeka.
Commander Finuey said he immedi-
ately notified the Mexican authorities at
Tampico and added they were making
every effort to apprehend the bandits.
Commander Finney said the author

incident should have occurred
Commander Finney's dispatch was as
follows;

The Woman Motorist.

There is no reason why a woman
should not be as good at handling mo-
tor car as man. All that is required
is common sense and care, together with
some mechanical knowledge.
First and most important comes care
If You want to get the best value and
save yourself the most trouble be as
particular about what is inside as you
are about what shows on the outside
In our work of training women for
the motor corps Of the national league
for woman's service, says Capt. Kath-
crime Richardson, the commander, one
of the first rules in the care of her car
that our girls had to learn was this:
Don't wait until something goes wrong
before looking for trouble. Before and
after every trip you make, look over the
motor, see that il is clean and runs
smoothly and quietly. A knock, grind
or rattle should mean instant atten.
tion." Here's another: Always fill your
radiator before starting trip, and if
you notice a leak in it, repair it at
once
See that your grease cups are kept
full; keep the steering gear, dfferential,
gear case and universal packed with
grease.
See that none of the wires touch met
al parts and that they are not exposed
to water. Watch your ignition system;
if you win clean the spark plugs and put
drop OF oil on the generator and other
moving parts of the electrical system,
trouble with the ignition will seldom oc-
cur Keep battery connections and ter.
minals free from corrosion.
Keep tires properly inflated. Slow
down when rounding corners, or travel
ing on rough roads; use care in braking,
so that the ear will not slide. Spring

Everyone who lives or has lived in
q small town knows or can remember
'the brick house." The owner usually
was the most affluent member of the
community. Not that the brick house
cost so much more than the others,
but just the word 'brick" conveyed
the thought of stability.
Bricks and brick houses are almost
as old as civilization. True, the bricks
of centuries ago did not compare with
the bricks of today, but the ancients
fashioned blocks of clay in the warmer
climates. allowed them t. bake in the
sun and constructed houses of them
And they lasted and supplied a home
for generation after generation.
These are the reasons that brick
houses are popular. They give an ali
of stability, because they are stable
themselves. The man who builds q
brick house builds not only for him
self and his family, but for genera.
lions to come.
In the era of home building that is
