SPRING BRASS.

:
Q. Can spring brass be made into =
cup shape in forming diel Has spring
brass grainI G. /. NJ.
A. The Bureau of Standards says that
spring brass. which is the hardest tenn
per of brass. cannot be formed into a
cup shape in forming die. Metals are
crystallineY Sometimes the crystals are
called grains. Spring brass Is crystal
line, but has not a grain in the sense
that wood has a grain. However, the
properties Of the metal in one direction
may vary from those In another, since
hardness is obtained by cold working
and this produces a distortion OF tho
crystals in the direction of the cold
working.

ONLY AMERICANS
 DRINK IN EXCESS

Havana, Nov. 13-About the only persons seen on the streets of Havana who show symptoms of over-indul- gence in intoxicants are Americans This does not mean, however, that all the Americans who come here drink to excess.
 Beer and light wines are so much a part of the Latin life that it has no intoxicating effect. They drink moderately. But some visitors from the dry land seem to drink constantly, once they find a bar.
 To Americans, however. the most the hobo from home, a hopeless, wretched figure that infests hotel Hobbies. His panhandling is brazen. They pick out people speaking their own tongue, and without shame bold ly announce that they want money for drinks. They long ago discarded the appeal for help to get the other shirt from the laundry.
 Most of these unfortunates did not follow the flag; they followed the whisIzey trail, generally as stowaways or in ship crews they deserted, once within swimming distance of the docks. But for passport regulations Havana police authorities say. there would be hundreds here from the states with a thirst and no visible means of support.

SAYS RED REIGN
 SOON TO BE OVER

Columbus, O.. Nov. 12-Prediction that this winter will be marked by the fall of the Bolshevik government in Russia WAS made by Princess Caanta- eugene, granddaughter of former President U. S. Grant. The Princess, who is chairman Of the board of di- rectors of the American central com nittee for Russian relief. lectured here:
 with practically no industries. no food, clothing or fuel, it seems almost an impossfbility for them to with stand the long, hard winter she con- tinued.
 And with the downfall of the So- viet, it is hard to tell what will occur. But one thing is certain, the old auto cratic rule will never return. Per haps there will be a military rule un- der Wrangle. but. eventually. l am convinced, the government will be based on the peasantry.

PEACE ON THE ADRIATIC

Y T SEEMS pretty certain now that the repre- 1 sentatives of Italy and Jugoslavia have reached agreement which only needs the formal acknowledgement of the two nations to end the longs standing Adriatic dispute, includ- ing the controversy the proposed Istrian frontier between Italy and Jugoslavia, the Plume tangle and the differences over Dalma- tia and certain islands along the east shore of the Adriatic.
 By the terms of the settlement as reported Plume is to be absolutely independent Most of Istria will be Italian will also the islands in the Gulf of Quarnero. This is much less than the Treaty of London gave to Italy and is less than Italy was offered at one time and is much less than the minimum terms' which Italy in- sisted on at the beginning
 It is unimportant just what considerations moved either country to make the concessions which have to be made in the adjustment of practically every dispute. What is important is, that according to the official announcement the settlement was lon the basis of solid, dur able and friendly understanding between Italy and Jugoslavia." This opens the way for CO., operation between the two countries thing which would. be of great value to both
 This has been fever spot for some time and everyone, regardless of their sympathies, will be relieved that for while at least there will be no danger of critical situation develop ing. It is step in the right direction to secure settlement at all. It also furnishes one more precedent of the possibility of adjusting dis putes without recourse to violence and as such is distinct gain to the world.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS BOOK
THE INFORMATION that the Preside

DHE INFORMATION that the Presidents
 U plans for the future are being made lon the assumption that he will be able to en- gage actively in literary work after he leaves office" ought to be a source of satisfaction to great many people besides his admirers and friends No matter whether the judgement of the historians half century hence leans to- ward the estimate of the Presidents friends or his enemies they will be unable to ignore him. His name must be connected with the past few years forever and inseparably. He has been one of the central figures in one of the worlds great periods and so he will remain
 How important then that he tell his story not primarily for the public of today, though doubtless they will have keen interest in it, nor necessarily for them at all, but for the sake of making the historical record complete. For the sake of the of twenty-five and fifty years from now, when time will have furnished a sufficient perspective to enable the conscien- tious student to form a correctly balanced judg- ment of the men and events of the Great War.
 It is obvious that President Wilson was in a position to know the inside of great many important diplomatic matters. Unquestionably at times he knew more of what was going on in world politics and diplomacy than any other man. It is reasonable to suppose that there are many incidents and occurrences of which he alone has the explanation. Events for which he can make clear the reason and place in their true light
 How invaluable would be Lrncoln's story of the inside of the Civil War period he knew it. We have something of Washington in his letters but how much more it would mean to sus if in addition we had his intimate story of men and events from his point of view and his confidential knowledge.
 It is much to be hoped therefore, that when the President lays down his great office on the fourth of next March that his strength and his purpose will be equal to using his experience as a scholar, and his skill as a writer in making that record which he alone can.

PRESSING CHILDREN
XX THAT CAN be moro pathetic than a w starving child? Little creatures

X|HAT CAN be more @ pathetic than w starving child? Little creatures dropping, growing emaciated and becoming the victims of disease just because of the lack of food Yet we told that now two years after the signing of the armistice, there thou sands of little ones in Europe who will perish of cold and hunger this winter unless American charity comes to the rescue.
 It is question if it is altogether charity for to care for them. If perhaps by our procrastinaton in holding back from the League and proper place in the settlement of world matters have not helped to prolong conditions which result in this misery and suf- fering.
 One thing is certain, however, the children who are the victims are in no way responsible and the fund of $23, 3,OOO,OOO which Herbert c. Hoover is asking for to feed them must be rais- ed. "The raising of this money will be my oc- cupation until the fund is complete" Mr. Hoover said the other day just as he leav- ing his home in California. We have been able to carry the work intially by the assistance of the American Government and by contribu- tions from various sources without appealing to the general public. There is now, however no ether means for the continued support of these children except the public charity of the American people"

MCCARTHY SAYS
 LIFE THREATENED

CContinued From Page One.)
 The prohibition officials at Wash ingtor are extremely well satisfied with the accomplishments of MT. Me- Carthy in the New England field han dicapped as he has been by obstacles thrown in his path by hostile in- f1uences.
 One story that has gained wide cur rency is that a group of former New England liquor dealers with a large stock on hand offered Mccarthy $50,- GOO in cash to permit it's release, an offer which he is said to have indig- nantIy spurned. The Washington au-
 thorities say that like other prohibi- tioni officers he has been approach ed with offers of large sums of money in enforcement, and his answer has been to work all the harder to ~apprehend offenders.
 = In department circles the report is circulated that Mccarthy has told every man who has approached him with a questionable offer that he pro- posed to conduct the office without l fear or favor and that the rich club man would get from him no more i Ieniency than the itinerant bootlegger | Failing in their attempts to bripe | him, coterie of liquor dealers, ac. cording to Mccarthy, have resorted te petty persecution. A campaign ol 1 anonymous letter writing threatening l his life, has been set in motion, ant l sers has been exerted in an effort te have him removed or transferred tt some other part of the country.
 Prohibition Commissioner Kramel announces he will keep Mccarthy il l charge of the New England division I believing that the prohibition enforce ment work for that section could no | be placed in better hands.

HOME BREWED
 BEER ILLEGAL

Washington, Nov. 13-Home brew Q ingredients may be sold but sales must mot be under circumstances showing they are to be used for unlawful man. ufacture of intoxicating liquors. This Interpretation was placed today upon the latest "dry' law ruling, that per ssons selling homeb rew products un- .sder circumstances that are held illegal will be prosecuted.
 Commissioner Williams hatly de- sclared that home brewed beer manu- fhctured in the home for beverage purposes, even though for the sole use of the family and bona fide guests. is illegal, according to the revenue bu- reau's construction of the Volstead law. He likewise holds that the "sale of materials for the purpose of such manufacture, also is illegal"
 Williams ruling is virtually re- iteration of an old ruling by the bu- reau, but differently phrased, and quotes for the most part the wording of the Volstead law. The ruling lays emphasis upon the selling of home brew materials specifically for use in beer brewing.
 It is still possible, officials said, fol buyers to obtain separatel y malt syrup. malt extract, hops, yeast, su- gar and other ingredients wtthou' running counter to the bureaus rul-

SEEK TO SPEED UP
 MAILS TO MEXICO

Mexico City, Mex, Nov. 12.-Mexi- can postal authorities are co-operat- ing with representatives of the Uni- ted States Post Office in an effort to improve the mail service between Mexico and the United States.
 The chief difficult, it is said, is at Laredo. There mail going to the United States is hauled across the in- ternationa1 bridge in wagons, causing a great loss of time. It is said that mail is frequently held up for twen- ty-four hours at the border. Mail coming into Mexico is delayed by the same system of transfer.
 It is proposed to have mail cars cross the international bridge coming into Mexico and going out.
