How Asbestos is Produced.

The finest asbestos, and the great
er part of the worlds supply, comes
from Quebec, Asbestos is a fibrous
mineral that can be spun and woven
into fabrics as fine as silk, which are
unaffected by temperatures of from
1000 to 5000 degrees F. 1t Is found
in layers filling assures in certain SER
pentine rocks. 1t is believed that,
when the rock was forming and still
hot, water penetrated the assures, wild
ened them and dissolved some of the
silica and magnesia. On drying, these
crystallized as a hydrated silicate of
magnesia, forming threadlike crystals
building up from opposite walls q the
assures and meeting in. the middle.
No one has yet discovered how fine
ly asbestos fibers can be split A
microscope magnifying 900 diameters
revealed fibers that are estimated to
be five one-millionths of an inch thick.

WOULD "cLEAN UP" POLITICS
Massachusetts, t!igh School Girl
Chooses Important Topic to Win
Essay Contest.

An appeal to the American Legion
to "clean up" politics is contained in
the essay of q high school girl which
recently was awarded a prize in the
Somerville (Mass.) POSTS competition
for the best article on "What Service
Can the American Legion Render to
the United States?" Miss Eleanor Ran
dali, the winner, makes this sugges-
ton:
when politics means graft, corrup-
ton, and the attainment of selfish
ends, then is our government debased.
1t is the duty of the American Legion
to change this Interpretation of poll
TICS being careful meanwhile that the
game is not played within the limits
Of the organization itself. 1t must GUST
the CRATER, wipe away the corruption,
and teach that the welfare of the gov
eminent should be first and foremost
in the mind of every true American.
These boys who fought In the mud in
France must not allow the mud OF
corrupt politics to cling about this
great nation. AS fearlessly as they.
fought in France, in spite of disagree
able conditions, they must clear away
the mire and show us to the world as
we really are at heart-a big-minded,
idealistic people.
thousands Of foreigners coming to
our shores each year discover" Miss
Randall continues, that the streets
of gold of America are covered by the
mud of the slums and that their
homes of happiness are squalid flats
In the tenement district.
SHOULD it not he the members of
the American Legion who should help
the immigrant who has come to our
shores?' she asks. 1.-THE United
States has been rightfully called the
melting pot of all nations. After the
melting who will mold? The men who
fought for the democracy of the world
are the ones best fitted for the task.
They are the best guardians of those
who hardly know what democracy
means. Let them help the immigrant
to understand and the down-trodden
to rise and when this task is finished
they will have rendered to their ma
ton the greatest service in the his
tory of the world"
