Huge Mould for Guns.

One of the great Pennsylvania

ufactured the largest ingot mould
ever seen. 1t is octagonal in shape.
Is feet Z inches high. with an av-
erage inside diameter of 91h inch
es. The thickness varies from is
to 20 inches. The mould will be
used in casting the .0QQ-pound
steel ingots from which our 16-inch
and 1S-inch guns are forged. The
Bessemer iron for the mould was
melted in three large open-hearth
steel furnaces. and suspended in
three ladies over the mould at one
time The molten contents then
mingled in a trough or runner so
uhat the iron was thoroughly mixed
before it entered the mould. 1t
took 100000 pounds of iron to pour
the casting. After. the mould was
thoroughly cooled two 100-ton elec-

Are you so contented that you ''purr

Rules for Fasting.
Here are his ruIes-and he obeys
them himself:
l. Don't lay OF while fasting. Keep
on with business as usual"
2. Don't fast unless you have been
examined by a physician and your
general condition o. KID.
3. Don't try for long fast. Five to
ten days IL sufficient.
4 Plain fasting isn't enough. One
rust drink lots OF water in order to
flush the system thoroughly and elm
mate food-poisons
5. You will lose weight. but all
weight that you lose by a short fast
is superfiuous and ought to be lost.
6. You Will feel no hunger unless
you fail TO drink enough water. You
will, however. have a coated tongue
Throughout the fast, which is the only
dIsagreeable feature.

phy regarding old age. gave his secret
of remaining young as follows:
IF man delighted in studying the
natural element in which he exists
and IL he used this knowledge to pro-
tect his body against the malignant
actions of his environment. l think
that he would live twice as long as
now, with his mentality unimpaire ed

more of his environment and is thus

TANKS PROVE USEFUL
BUCKING SNOWDRIFTS

Paris-It was generally supposed
that as an adjunct Of peace tanks
would prove quite as useless as sub
marines until a French official in
the employ of the Ministry OF Public
Works conceived the brilliant idea of
harneSsing one OF the steel monsters
TO a snoWplouCh.
An army tank was recently sent.
at this officials suggestion, to the
Alpine Valley Of Barceionnette.
where il Immediately forged its way
over a snow-bound road. clearing
FIVE miles of roadway per hour for
an expenditure Of only one gallon
of gasoline per mile.
The French government is now
experimenting on the most appropTf-
ate method of adapting its army
tanks to this profitable pursuit,
which will pay the cost of the tanks
and their upkeep expenses during
the peaceful years pending the COM
ing of the next conflict in which
they are destined TO take part.

The Washington Chamber of Com
merce and the Board Of Trade were
criticised by Capt Julius Peyser, In
an address before a meeting OF the
Central Labor Union IN the Central
High School library called to invesu-
gate activities of Community Service
Inc. last night
Capt. Peyser denounced the action
Of the two trade bodies In causing an
Investigation to be made Of the work
of Community Service. and intimated
the men appointed to the Joint In
vestigating committee OF the organf-
Zations were not representative ousi-
ness men
Men who give money should In
xestigate." he said, ''and not a self
appointed group Of men who viii not
be reasoned with. 1 don't believe
that the Board of Trade and the
Chamber of Commerce had any
right to investigate. We want the
real business interests Of Washing
ton to give to maintain the COM
munity spirit in Washington"
Regarding the charges that Com
munity Service was overlapping the
work of the local community CEN
ters Capt. Peyson said:
IF anybody knows anything
about the Chamber of Commerce,
Board Of Trade and Merchants and
Manufacturers Association. they
know that these bodies overlap
daily.
There must be some reason why
men who are engaged in the many
activities of life should investigate
a thing that they know all about"

Capt. Peyser further charged that
