handle this work must understand the
physical principles underlying the Cd

must have, In addition, the collateral
engineering knowledge essential to the
designing of structures and the install

the principles of economics and bust
ness to be able TO judge results from a
commercial standpoint, sufficient
knowledge Of mining to understand
how ores are produced to the surface
of the ground, and finally, sufficient
knowledge Of metallurgy TO understand
the demands of the metallurgist as to
the character of concentrate produced

lege then should consist in a founda-

of copper production. and therefore of
the electrical industry, is very largely
dependent on the same forces that are
at work in the soap bubble"
Professor Taggart declared that the
demand for specialists in ore dressing
with expert knowledge of the design
and operation of the bewildering array
of machinery now employed has be-
come so insistent that school curricuia
must be altered TO offer the necessary
preparatory courses.
"Ore dressing is an indispensable
link between mining and metaIlurgy in
present-day practice in the extraction
of metals from the earth" said Pro-
fessor Taggart. 1T consists in nom
chemical concentration of the valuable
part of an ore into a bulk much
smaller than that of the original ore,
and at the same time rejection as
waste of the worthless portion.
"Until about fifteen years ago most
mills were small as compared with
present-day standards and the ores
were relatively high grade. The ore
| treatment problem was simple one,
and as a result the technical as well
as the executive direction Of the ore
dressing plant could he and was incl
dental to the direction with which the
concentration was built.
',The services of specialist in con-
centration were considered unneces-
sary With the development of the
large, I0w-grade, disseminated copper
deposits, the Importance of ore dress
Ing took a sudden jump These depos-
its contain only from twenty to forty
pounds Of copper per ton of ore. The
ore bodies as originally discovered con-
tanned from 100000 to 100,000000
tons each Of such ore. For economical
working Of such deposits elaborate
concentrating plants, capable Of ban
ding from 5000 to 10000 tons of ore
per day were necessary.
SkilIfuI Work for Profit.
"These plants required the most
skillful direction possible If a profit
and demand for specialists in con-
eeEtration Immediately arose. Within
the last seven years the successful APP
], plication of processes of froth flotatiOn
to the treatment of these low-grade
ores has resulted In the saving of four
to six pounds more copper per ton than
was formerly possible.
"fhe advent of fiotation called for q
rill man of much broader scientific
education than the old concentration
processes required. A flotation mil
man needs a working knowledge Of
try, VIZ, colloid chemistry, and SHOULD
also have some acquaintance with or
ganic chemistry Coincldent with tn,
advent of flotation In milling there hai

Hence oil grinding was done with

SOFT COAL RAISES
Department Of Justice
Threatens Mine Operators
Under Lever Law.

The Department of Justice will not
permit soft coal operators to "mulct
the public by boosting the price of
| bituminous coal at the mines "as
high as from 81 to s11 a ton and even
higher" Unless such price gouging
is stopped Immediately prosecutions
under the Lever law.
Announcement to this effect was
made by the department in a letter
| of instruction sent to every United
States attorney in the country.
Instructed to Indict.
Department officials state that the
cost of production cannot possibly
justify the reported prices at the
mines" and that the various district
attorneys have been instructed to
seek indictments in all cases of coal
profiteering
The departments statement con-
tinues:
Excuses offered for taking profits
whlch are unreasonably high in COM
parison with the cost of production
are no defense to the charge of prof
iteering-the purpose of the Lever act
was to prevent the taking advantage
of such excuses to mulct the public"
Cost and Prices Compared.
Statistics gathered by the Federal
Trade Commission, it is declared
show the cost of producing coal at the
present time to be s2.97 ton. On this
basis. coal was sold at the mines dur
ing April at prices between So and 81
ton, officials said. Since then. selling
prices have been forced as high as
from 81 to $11 a ton. and even
higher"
1t is denied by the department that
there is a shortage of production. 1t
was said that for the first four
months of the present year soft coal
production has exceeded the produc-
tion for the corresponding period of
any recent year, excepting 1917 and
1918. The priorities order issued by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
last week, it was said. assures the

CLINICS FOR ADDICTS
OF DRUGS DISCOURAGED
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Tells Agents Net Results Do Not
Justify Method,

The bureau of internal revenue has
refused to indorse the establishment
of public clinics for the treatment and
cure of drug addicts. according to a
letter addressed by Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer to federal prohibi-
ton agents and other administrative
officers.
Mr.. Kramer claims in the letter
that "the net results obtained through
the operation of such public clinics
appear to have demonstrated that the
cure of drug addiction through such
means is a failure and will not here
after have the Endorsement of this
bureau"
Following the decision of the
United States Supreme Court that
physicians in the treatment of pa
tients by the reduction method are
not authorized to prescribe for the
satisfaction of drug addiction. and
that druggists cannot lawfully fill
such prescriptions. a number of pub
lie clinics for the treatment of drug
addicts were established and are now
in operation. Many of these clinics
issue drugs to the patients who call
for them. allowing the patients to
administer the dose themselves. In
vestigation of each of the public
clinics is being made to find out
whether it's method of operation is in
accordance with the terms of the
Harrison anti-narcotic act.

Section Foreman Remembers Lack

creek at night in a hailstorm, to
warn a passenger train that a bridge

| After he had set them he approached
a nearby house. then remembered his
neglige. and swan back across the
500 feet of swirling current.
The passenger train, it developed
later. was stopped farther up the road,
at point where the railroad men had
little hope of halting it. Williams
heroism. however. was not overlooked

Several days after the flood the sec
ton foreman was looked up by a
newspaper man from the city. He
found him directing gang of labor
ers repairing the washout. He said:
Il just figgered the chances was
probably against me gittin' across.
but it was only my life against $50
passengers on No. 42, and / figgered
that the train would be runnin' pretty
fast when they came up to the bridge,
and they might be into it before they
saw it. so 1 walked up the creek a
half mile, stripped off my clothes. tied
my red lantern, red flag and torpe-
does to my back, and swum across.
There wasn't so many trees out
there and she was only about 600 feet

H Il insist upon knowing all about

what is it?' laughed her friend
I'll tell you. / slipped out and
got it at your grocer's," said Mrs.
Blair. Jack loves cornstarch

Mrs. Martin, ''the children are not
SO fond of chocolate. and 1 guess
it's really too rich for them any
how"
"Oh. no." exclaimed Mrs. Blair.
1T isn't too rich. Why, it's so
pure and wholesome you can let
them have as much as they want
and it comes in any number of
