WILL DEVELOP CLAY FIELDS
Company With Large Capital Fcrmeo
to Control Product Found in TWO
English Counties

The fact that an amalgamatlon
with capital of s10,ooo.ooo has
been formed to control the richest
and best clay fields in Devon ana
Cornwall, where alone chlna-clay
exists in Great Britain, recalls the
story of one of the most interesting
and historic industries in the coun-
try.
China-clay is the fine white clay
used in making the porcelain articles
We are handling every day. Its great
virtue lies in the fact that 1t is OF a
pure, or nearly pure, white, both be-
fore and after being fired, making 1t
of great value in the manufacture OF
porcelain. 1t is also used to great
extent by papermakers, and in less
quantity in the making of some
chemical products.
Technically, china-clay is known
as kaolin, derived from kaoling-
"high ridge"-the name of hills IN
China where the clay was first dis
covered and used in the manufacture
of porcelain. Jesuit missionaries in
PRODUCED it to Europe, and in the
middle of the eighteenth century the
clay was discovered in Cornwall and
later in Devonshire.
The total output represents nearly
half million tons per annum. kao-
lin, by the way. is also found in
France and America.

and incidentally won for the Sal

Allotment for districts vary
out of proportion to the differ

plan which provides buildings in
some districts and not in others
with the exception of one or two
where the need is great and the
population sparse. The districts
which will have permanent
equipment will pay for it with
money raised from their own ter
ritory. This is over and above
their regular allotment on the
per capita basis used in the Uni
ted War drive.
Appreciation Of this work done
by the Salvation lassies has spur
red on the enthusiasm for the
campaign. As one American
doughboy says, Say folks. | was

Salvation Army at Chateau
Thierry. | saw it where the fight
ing was the thickest. | saw it
where the suffering was

hungry. and comfort for the dis
couragcd which made the Saliva
ton Army the HELM that it was.

needs no commentator from me.
The love and gratitude it has eli
cited from the troops is a sufti-
Gent evidence of the work it has
done. and feel that | should not
so much commend it as congra-
tulate it." General Pershing says
of the character and experience
of the workers. This has re-
suited in a degree of excellence
and self-sacrifce in the work per-
formed which has been second to
none" J. Cardinal Gibbons says,
The man in need of help is the
object of their effort. with never
a question Of his creed or color"
This campaign for funds is in
tended to do away with the
street corner begging which
has been carried on so many
years by the Salvation Army,
More time for evangelistic work
will be given and all forces can
be concentrated on the real
work Of the Army" rather than
to the soliciting of money. For
example. in the Rescue Home
and Maternity hospital in st.
Paul. one officer has been de-
tailed to be out all the time in
order to get funds with which
the home carries on its extensive
work for the girls from all over
the state. The campaign will
provide a basic fund from which
to work. and will eliminate this
wasteful method.
