 There seemed to be no discontent among the men who returned to work yesterday as far as the action taken by the company was concerned. Severa said that they considered that the company had been entirely fair in the matter. Others placed the blame for the fiasc0 on their brotherhood off cials but none of them offered any ex- planation as to how the brotherhoods were to blame for an unauthorized strike.

GREAT SAVING OF COPPER
Knowledge of CoIloid and Organic Chemistry Necessary for the Flo tation MiIlman-SkiIlful
 Work for a Profit.

New York.-Billions are being added to the worlds wealth by the forces at work in the soap bubble. The Notation method of mineral separation, by which every day in the year fortunes are literally extracted from froth, is now exercising so powerful an infiu- ence on mining operations in this and other countries that, according to C0- 2umbia university authorities, the fu- Sure of copper production, and theres fore of the electrical industry, largely hinges on bubbles
 The process of ore concentration has always been considered important in mining engineering schools and the fio- tatfon process is leading factor in laboratory practice at Columbia, where the ore dressing laboratory is now un- dergoing considerable expansion.
 According to both Dean George B. Pegram of the Columbia School of Mines, Engineering and Chemistry, and Arthur F. Taggart, professor of ore dressing, the advent of Notation has worked a revoiption in mining meth eds.
 .'The word bubble used in connec- ficn with mining properties formerly referred to a kind of financial manage. ment which could hardly be tolerated in these dry and sober days. but in the last few years bubbles have taken on a new and more important significance for the larger part of the mining in- dustry," said Dean Pegram. "I'he most important problem of the mining en- gineers is usually how to concentrate the mineral in low-grade ore to such an extent that the working of the ore will be profitable. A process has been developed which applies particularly to all sulphide ores, and these include most of the copper, zinc and lead ores, fin which the ores may be beautifully concentrated by the action of fine bub-

IN THE SWIM

H EEPING up with the crowd is an IA attempt to stretch a S2,000 n- come over $5,000 expense account
 One of the first things a young mar, ried man encounters is a stern refusal on the part of his weekly salary to lap around the monthly bills and have anything left for gasoline. This is be- cause anybody who has muscular strength enough to sign relay of pink promjssory notes can own an automo- bile and throw dust in the eyes of neighbors who did not buy until they could see where the money for an ex- tra tire on the rim was coming from.
 One of the best tests of pluck and endurance a young married couple can have is to mingle in a crowd of plu- tocratic companions without wanting to pawn al of the wedding presents in order to keep up. The greatest treas ure on earth is a wife who has social ambitions, but who does not find it necessary to dress like style show model in order to get invited out. High society recognizes money, but there is a brand which would rather have a few brains than it does dia- mond tiaras and chiffon velvet wraps.
 Keeping up with the crowd in a small town is just as difficult as it is in a larger one, for in each case the crowd is split up into minute crowd

lets, ranging from champagne suppers to The peanut sandwich spread The trouble is that few people are satisfied with the crowd nature and their in come designed them for, but are eter- nally trying to move up a step or two and get into the wheeled lmOu- sine class. Many a wife has tried to climb into this class and drag her husband with her, but before they were half way up their progress was lmpeded by the muffled accents of a foreclosure sale.
 On the other hand, thousands of peo- pie who were born with nothing but d set of plain features and few lay CTS of horse sense are living in state of unbroken peace without solitary top hat or evening gown. As a rule, it will be found that these people can borrow money at the bank without having their collateral paved over by the board of directors. When man is unhappy because he is not leading the procession in twin-six which will not be paid for before Mexico is pacified, if shows that the inside of his head needs upholstering with some different material.
 It is all right to keep up with the crowd when you don't have to borrow short-time money in order to get by.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"CAMOUFLAGE.n p

THOUGH comparatively new
 Q in English, the word "cam- ouHage' has struggled along in French for several centuries, during which time it has been surrounded as used in connec- tiOn with the French with number Of meanings. most of them of slangy or colloquiai nature. The term, as used in connection with the French the ater, signified makeup" and it was the scene painters of the Parisian stage that carried it with them into the war and planted it in military slang. Tine British Tommy soon adopted the noun and, almost overnight, added it's use as an adjective and also as a verb-applying it to all kinds of concealment, whether mental. moral, spiritual or physical.
 While the word itself is new to the English language, and comparatively modern even in French, the use of deceptive de- vices to fool the enemy dates back to the dawn of history. In the Bible, for example, we find the ruse by which Gideon, with only 300 men, defeated a force of 135,OO0 Midianites by giving each of his men a pitcher con- taining a light. The military custom of that day decreed that only the commander of a con- pany should carry a light, so, when the Midianites saw 300 lights approaching them from various directions, they natural ly thought they were being at tackled by large force, broke and fled. The use of branches of trees as screen for Mall cOlm's men is mentioned in Macbeth" while the American Indian has long been an adept in painting his body so that 1t would blend in with the sur rounding country-an adapta- tion of natures principle of protective coloration," the old est camouf1age of all.
