Industrial Research.

Again and again during the war It
was insisted by all manner of authori-
ties in England that one of the great
efforts of the future should be in the
direction Of encouraging industrial re-
search. This was, in fact, war les
son, and Great Britain evidently has
no intention Of losing 1T. Already a
government department Of scientific
and industrial research" has been es-
tablished; while, according to the
chairman at recent meeting of the
Institution of Electric Engineers, uni
yersities all over the country, led by
University college, London, are re-
eCuippIng their training departments"

Homes Of Birds Don't Change.

Styles with the creatures out OF
doors do not change. The nests of the
birds this spring will be exactly like
those they built last year. They make
no advances and no improvements, de
clares George f. Burba in the Colum-
bus Dispatch.
A robin wouldn't learn to build q
nest like the oriole In a million years.
The orioles nest seems to be the best
of all the birds homes. 1t is woven
and knitted and suspended from a
swinging limb high up In n tree
away out where nothing can get to it.
Even a squirrel would have q hard
time getting to an orioles nest and a
cat couldn't do 50 at all. A boy can't
get out to where it is, for 1t is al
ways upon the end Of small branch
that would break with the boys
weight. So 1t would seem that the
other birds might take lessons from
the Oriole and duplicate the nest for
themselves, but they do nothing of
the kind.

MODELLED ON HUMAN FRAME
Efficiency Experts Have Taken That

Advocate

The human frame is 100 per cent
of efficiency experts promulgated be-
fore the American Society of Indus

the New York Evening sun. Some OF
the laity have been suSpecting that
for years, but the promoters OF new
methods Of top speed plant p:odu"-
tion are 50 sure of it now that they
are modelling organization plans with
physicians as their advisers.
Most of the lay0utS prepared for
the Industrial organizations look for

1t is shown that the schemes
which have worked the best are after
All as old as the human race. for they
are simply arrangements such as may
be seen in every mans makeup.
The brain, for instance, as explained
by c. Z. knoeppel. who has the chair
of factory management at New York
university, in his address to his fellow
industrial experts, is the same as the
executive head or the director of q

which keep mankind in his bearings

The relations of the chart for the man

Worlds Oldest Drawings.

The oldest drawings in the world
are believed TO have been made about
25,OOO years ago by prehistoric man
In the caves of the Pyrenees noun
tains, says Boys Life. Some Of these
pictures shaw remarkable skill in
drawing, suggesting that civilization
was comparatively well advanced at
this period. From the relics of this
period it is believed that these men
had a religion of some kind, that they
buried their dead, were governed by
chiefs and made instruments of flint.
Examples of their painting and sculp-
ture have been found. AS man goes

High Speed Steel Without Tungsten

A new high speed steel of British
origin Is without tungsten in it's com
position and advantages of both a
practical and economical nature are
claimed. 1t is cobalt-mOlybden
steel, the cobalt apparently acting as
a stabiliZer and as correcting certain
disadvantages said to exist in molyb-
denumtungSten steels. The new steel
is claimed to possess the highest point
of efficiency ever obtained. The hard
ening temperature required is only in
the neighborhoOd of 1000 degrees
Fahrenheit The steel is also reported
to machine exceptionally soft and cas-
lily. The specific gravity of como steel
is reported to be equal to that of the
old carbon tool steel, and so 10 per
cent less than that Of the tungsten
high-Speed Steels. As result it is
estimated that a given weight of como
steel will produce 10 per cent more
tools than the same weight of regular
high-speed steel.

to the palace in Athens. This aroused storm of discussion which so displeased his wife that in the early part of 1920 she went with her mother and sister to live in Paris, and Alexander visited her there in the following May.

 Did you shoot the dog?" he was asked.

 The king at one time was reported engaged to an American girl, Miss Josephine Kelly, of St. Paul, Minn., a stenographer employed by the Greek commission of the American Red Cross. Indeed it is said that he actually announced his engagement to her in Cornith the early part of 1919. Miss Kelly. however. who re turned to this country a few months later, denied the report and subse- quently was married to an Ameri- can soldier.
 Miss Kelly frequently was invited to receptions and tea parties at the palace and danced occasionally with the king, who was particularly fond of the society of American women. King Alexander was tall, of medium build, blond hair and light complexion. He invariably wore a monocle, He had many of the fea lures of his mother, Queen Sophie His education was gained from pri vate tutors and he had an excellent command of English. His favorite pastime was automobiling. He owned several American cars which he. used to drive through the streets of Athens at high speed.

KING ALEXANDER OF GREECE.
 Alexander succeeded to the throne of Greece in June, 1917, when his father, King Constantine, abdicated in response to the demand of France, Great Britain and Russia, the three powers which had guaranteed the constitutional liberties of the Greek people. Alexander was the second son of Constantine and at the time of his accession was not quite A years old His elder brother, Grown Prince George, was considered in eligible for the throne because of alleged pro-German sympathies.
 In any event, King Constantine nominated Alexander to succeed him. The fall of Constantine had been brought about through the agency of the French senator, M. Jonnart, who went to Athens in June, 1917, as representative ot the three great powers, on the ground that this step would establish unity of feeling among the Greeks and greater security for the Entente forces then operating in the east. Consctantine had been accused of pro-German sympathies partly on ac- count of his marriage to the Prin- cess Sophie, sister of the then Elm per0r William of Germany, and it also was charged that he had not acted honorably toward the allies. Alexander, on the other hand. was reported to be free from proGer- man prOcliVities.
 Constantine left Athens and took up his residence in Switzerland.
 Alexander took the oath of office at Athens in August and promised to carry out the policy of his father. This was said to have shocked the Entente powers. It soon was report ed that he was at odds with Premier Venizelos and had refused to aban- don his idea of continuing his fath- CTS program. Some doubts were raised as to the advisability of per mitting him to assume the throne unless he discontinued what was characterized as an obstructive policy.
 Reports of lack of harmony be- tween Alexander and Venizelos were circulated in te spring of 1920 but the premier disposed of these in a statement in which he paid tribute to the kings patriotism. One re- spect in which the king and his premier were said to have been at odds was over the kings morgana- tic marriage to Mile Manos, daugh- ter of a former aide-de-camp to his father, which is said to have taken place in November 1919. No record of the marriage was obtainable ow- ing to the fact that it was not recorded with the Metropolitan of Athens, the supreme eccleciastic au- thorities of Greece.
 The young king and his morgana tic wife were childhood friends and sweethearts. Alexander asserted that he had right to marry, whom ever he pleased and took his bride
