The electric ground-thawing device
used in Alaskan railroad building has
the form of a hollow steel pile. This
has a sharpened steel point at one end
and a solid steel driving head at the
other, and the hollow body contains
a suitable resistance coil. The point
ed tube is driven like any pile into
the frozen ground to the required
depth. Connection is then made with
a power transmission line through a
portable transformer mounted on q
sledge and a low-yolt current of high
amperage is passed through the coil.
The heat soon thaws the surrounding
ground sufficiently for driving wood
ell pile.

The Modern oWashIady.o

The wash-woman problem is a diff
cult one these days, all housekeepers
will agree. But one Columbus family
has more to worry about than some of
the rest.
Several days ago their wash was
late in coming back from the "wash-
lady" and when she finally did come
with the Clothes In answer to the
question as to why she was late, she
stated:
"Wcll, you see we have new au-
tomobie and the weather has been
so nice that we have been taking mo-
tor trips every day"
Now the housewife Is wondering
what win happen to her washing when
summer comes. 1t is of further inter-
est to explain that the poor woman
who is trying to have her washing
done owns no automobile.-Columbus
Dispatch.

NO CHECK ON MANNlX
Australian Archbishop May Enter
ireland at Will,

London July 25.-So far as can be
learned, no step has been taken by
The British Government to prevent
Arch bishop Mannix of Australia land
ing in Ireland, the authorities acting
on the theory that if given enough
rope he will hang himself
1t is understood, however, that the
Archbishop will undoubtedly be ar
rested if he makes a demonstration
in Ireland.
Although the Government has
shown its willingness to dicker with
Sim Fein, at the same time it is plan
ming an extensive suffering of the
Irish regime this week. While the
rumor is rife in Dublin that martial
law will be proclaimed, The Sun and
New York Herald correspondent is au
thoritatively inormed no such move
is contemplated at present,
Il is admitted, however, that with
juryless special courts now authoriz-
Jed the situation will be equivalent to
martial law, In the meanwhile lane

but have not reached decision. The
responsible heads of the police say
that for the sake of discipline the
men cannot be held responsible for
such spontaneous outbreaks. The
Cabinet, nevertheless, insisted that
they must be checked in their spirit
of reprisal in order not to give the
Sim Fein the slightest opportunity
to press charges Of outrages.
