Speed In Making Grenades,

The core shop of an old British iron foundry Is cited as a revelation in speed in turning out war work. Young girls are producing cores there for hand grenades at the rate of 1S0 an hour, the cores, the making of which takes 31 movements of the hand, be- ing turned out In 16 seconds. The foundry itself is old and by no means convenient, but by a system of stand ardization of the work and by encour- aging employees to take an intelligent interest in their work, the output has been actually trebled. Every 1000 feet of floor space In the foundry now pro- duces 65 tons of light castings a week, working day shift only. It is the only foundry in that particular town work ing 4S-hour week. Besides, the girls and women, who form 60 per cent of the employees, are allowed ten min utes for lunch and ten minutes inter- val in the afternoon.

DENY MAILS
 ARE DELAYED

Washington, Feb. 7.---General Per shing cabled the War Department yes terday denying reports that mall to and from the American Expeditionary Forces had become congested at French ratlheads. He sand there was 10 delay of mail for the United States and no accumulation of correctly ad- dressed mail arriving in France for the soldiers. General Pershing said there were 1,210 sacks of incorrectly addressed mail at the Central Army Post Office in France now being re- directed, while only 126 sacks of dead letters had been shipped to the United States during January. The incor- rectly addressed mail at the central office, he said, could be placed in one American car"
 General Perslling quoted from a re- port made to him by Colonel Howe Director of the Postal Express Ser vice, which said that first-class mai moves on scheduled passenger trains | and reaches present ra1lheads of Army of Occupation in six days from time of arrival in France.
 Regarding the outgoing mall, Col onel Howe said 1t required an average of four and one-half days for mail 1 dispatched from divisional railheads to reach the Bordeaux terminal and an average of 2.20 days for mail dis patched from fixed post offices on hne of communications to reach that ter minal.
 Bordeaux terminal" said Colonel Howe. report their floors cleared of mails after each shipment to the States. If there is any delay in mall from France then these figures show, 1t Is on the water or elsewhere" When letters for soldiers are ad- dressed to the town or city in France where the recipient is stationed, such mall automatically comes under for etgn postal regulations and requires
 foreign postage rates of cents Der ounce. When soldier mall Is ad- dressed, giving the unit to which the
 soldier belongs and the army post of flee number, the domestic rate of pos tage, cents per ounce, applies.

Americans and Tanks.

By inventing the caterpillar device for motors, American ingenuity has played vital part in the war, says Boys Life, the boy scouts magazine.
 The success of the tank lies In the fact that 1t lays its own track, so to speak, and after rolling over 1t, picks il up. Now the track is merely belt made of fiat links of steel. This belt fits over large wheels at either end of the tank, much as the chain Is stretched around the wheels of an au- tomobile. On the outside of the belt gre fixed a series of broad links called track plates, which take a firm grip on the earth. The tank itself rests on rollers which in turn rest on the in- side of the belt. It is equipped with two belts on either side of the car, 10th of which are connected with the driving machinery. When the tank moves straight ahead, both these belts are driven at the same speed. It Is possible, however, to drive the belts independently. It usually travels at a speed of about half a mile an hour.

Says Indigestion Results From An Excess of Fly
 drochloric Acid

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus ev- erything eaten sours in the stomach
 much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like toy balloon
 Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eruc-

OXTAL SOUP.

Oxtail soup is popular because 1t has as much flavor and good taste to it as it is possible for soup to have and still it is low priced, for oxtails have not scared so high as soup meat has.
 Chop two oxtails in short lengths mince a bunch of parsley and thyme, grate two carrots and slice one onion. Cut one-fourth of a pound of salt pork in cubes and fry until the bot tom of the frying pan Is covered with fat. Put the onion in this and fry until the slices are brown, add the oxtails, season, and when they are Drowned put all this into the soup pot; add the grated carrots and water to equal about two quarts. Cover this and simmer about two hours, then strain it and add more seasoning if it is needed. Put the strained soup back on the fire, and the thickening this is the same for all soups one tablespoonful of flour blended with one tablespoonful of butter or cooking fat. Let it boil up once and it is ready to serve.
 Skeleton soup does not sound tempt ing, but that is the name to soups made from trimmed bones, boned carcass of duck or chicken or rab- bit, and even giblet soup is sometimes so-called. It is almost impossible tC get all the particles of flesh from the poultry and game when they are boned, and this is good way of us ing every bit. Break the bones apart and if there Is some chicken gravy and stuffing left, put 1t and the gib, lets and any cold meat you have 1T four quarts of water in a deep kettle and boil one hour.

BLEND FAR FROM COMPLETE
Expert Finds Descendants of First American Families Little Affected
 by the Mstna Pot.

Through an extensive study of men- bers of some of the oldest American families, America as the melting pot of the nations" proves to be but con- venient expression for writers and ora tors-mereiy picture drawn by those the precision of their figures of speech, myth without foundation of fact.
 For four years Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, a curator of the division of physical an- thropology of the United States Ma tiOnal museum, has had under way an investigation of the blending of the va rious types of humanity in America, which, though not yet fully completed, has resulted in the inevitable conclu- sion that the force of heredity Is too strong to be radically altered in cen tury or two and that we must walt centuries longer to find type which will justify the statement that Ameri- ca Is in reality q melting pot of the nations. Doctor Hrdlicka finds that even the first material that went into the pot" has not melted yet.
 Several hundred members of the old white American stock have been meas ured most carefully and examined in many ways to find If the people mak- ing up this stock are tending to be- come alike-if q new subtype of the human race is being formed here in America with intermarriage, environ ment and under the pressure of out ward circumstances. Doctor Hrdlicka finds definitely that, as yet, such Is not the case. His investigation shows that the descendants of the Pilgrim fathers, the Virginia cavaliers, the Pennsylva. nia Dutch and the Huguenots, while possibly not as much alike as their an cestors probably were, are still far from a real blend.-Philadelph Rec. ord.

Dogs nre source of great comfort and satisfaction to the young fighting men from America who find in them a devotion and companionship many crave.
