With this Improvement there has
been n substantial increase in the
price Of lubricants the various
grades being up between 5 and z
cents n gallon. on the average. over
the low prices OF early summer.
In fact. some of the big reflners
arc finding It increasingly difficult
to meet tho many orders they are
receiving for Immediate deliveries.
This is one OF tho basic reasons for
the extremely bullish attitude being
taken by leaders in the industry.
Their opinion is reflected by the
large advances which have occurred
in crude oil prices. The heavy de-
mand Tor lubricants, v e allowing
for the big consumption by automo-
biles. means q them that industry is
everywhere getting more active.
This Is particularly true Of the South
American situation, orders for lub-
ricants emanating from there being
so large ms to be obviously for in
dustrial purposes.
Big Gain in Consumption.
Rehners of lubricants were the
first to be able to bring their produc-
ton to a point where It matched de-
mRnd. This occurred IN June of this
year. the FIRST month when stocks
Iwere drawn upon to meet h de-
mand.s In the previous months of
1921 they were being added to at the
rate OF $1,000. 900 gallons monthly.
The last figures available on pro
duction and consumption of lubri'
cants. Big marketers OF lubricants
state that the demand today Is even
more active than during the Summer
months. and Il IS certain that figures
for September and October. when
available. will prove to be even more
impressive than the improvement
shown since June.
Output Increasing.
Production during June was the
lowest OF any mont go far his year
There were 81. oss. $50 gallons produc
ed by American refiners in that
month M Il was necessary to draw
on stocks to the extent OF $4,000
gallons to meet the demand. Thi.
meant consumption for juno of clos,
to 81. 900 900 gallons contrasted witt
IS. oc0 900 gallons during May.
In July production picked up fur
Their. to e5.se3. 900 gallons. but con
sumption took another tump and 1

The London cockney.

AS used by writer's Of the Eliza
bethan period, the word sscockney"
meant mollycoddle, or a child that
had been coddled too much by it's
mother. Then, because men who lived
in the city were supposed to be less
virile and strong than those who lived
in the country. the rural population
began to apply the term to the resi-
dents Of London and other cities.
Gradually this meaning was restrict
ed and localized until it was under
stood as being applicable only to Lon
doners. The opposite term-the one
applied by townsmen to the farmer
was Clown" meaning an uncouth,
ill-bred man.
Today the name of cockney is ap-
piled to Londoners generally, but more
particularly to people of a certain
class. The London cockney may not
always be well educated or refined in
his speech, but he is not a mollycoddle.

Precious SCOT.

BY recovering gold and other pre-
,,ious metals from the sooty deposit
scraped from the chimney of an assay
er's factory, profit of about 500 per
cent is made on the cost of cleaning.
To this factory manufacturing Jew
elers send their refuse and sweepings
to have the small fragments of gold
and platinum which are lost in work
ing extracted.
In the process scraps of the valua
BILE refuse are carried off In the smoke
and fumes and deposited with the
SCOT on the inside of the chimney and
the minute particles of gold and plati-
mum are carefully sorted out from
the SCOT.
: Even the clothes of the steeplejacks
are retained for the sake of the pre-
cious CRIME @on them, The value Of
the metal recovered is enough to pay
six times over for the. work involved,
including the cost of new clothes for
the men engaged. Brooklyn Eagle.

Dry Rot.

The term dry rot is commonly used
to describe condition of decay in
wood. Probably nine out of ten per-
sons who use the term have no real
knowledge of its significance. In the
first place, where there is decay, there
must be moisture This type Of decay
is really the work of a certain fungus.
It Is true that where this fungus grows
the decaying timber appears to be
without moisture. The fungus, how
ever, will not terminate unless the
wood is moist, but from then on it is
able to travel in dry wood. 1t draws
Its moisture through conduit system
of slender, minutely porous strands
1t is a curious fact, says Science Sift-
ings, that wood kept sufficiently wet

ERIN FOR PACT BY
4 POLL Of 8 To |
Dali to Be Sh0Wered With De-
mands From Boards.
ARMY IS FOR THE TREATY
Meetings TO Ask for Ratification-lre-
land Christmas Reported Quiet
Except for shootings
in Belfast.

Dublin, Dec. pa Geographic
sounding Of opinion of 26 counties of
southern Ireland, since the adjourn
ment of the Dali Eireann, regarding
the ratification of the Anglo-Irish
treaty. shows that the feeling is unani-
nous that referendum would show
that no less than 80 per cent of the
people would favor the treaty. In some
constituencies the percentage would
be higher, but in none less than 80.
This feeling will be put before the
Dali in shoal Of resolutions by pub
lie boards, farmers and other local or
CARNATIONS this week. The minority
is formed mostly of members of the
Irish republican army, who have either
themselves suffered severely or who
have had comrades killed or manned.
The minority does not represent the
mass of the Irish republican army,
which is strong for ratification.
It is said that there is big surprise
In store for the reassembling Dali, but
what form it will take has not been di-
vulged It is believed thai it will be
pleasant surprise for the ratification
lists, but not necessarily personal
blow for Mr.. De Valera who is not
but who is for better terms, if they
can be got. 1t is expected that Mr.. De
Valera ultimately will accept the die
tation of public opinion and will fall
In with acceptance. All the extrem-
lists, however. will not join him.
Miss MacSwiney, J. J. O'Kelly and
others who have committed themselves
absolutely to the republican ideal, re-
CARELESS of the consequences, must be
reckoned upon to divide the Dali.
Bishop Urges Meetings.
Cloyne, Dec. 27--In all the churches
of the ~ parishes of the diocese Of
Cloyne a letter from Bishop Browne
was read recommending that public
meetings be held as soon as possible
by those approving the peace treaty
with Great Britain. The purpose Of
these meetings, the letter said, should
be to iudorse acceptance of the treaty
and demand that the representatives
on the Dali Eireann obey their con-
stitutents' mandate
Shooting in Belfast.
London, Dec 27.-Christmas passed
quietly in Ireland, according to all re-
ports, except in Belfast, where some
shooting and other disturbances oc-
cured during the night and early in
the day. Shots were exchanged in
Bellevue street between number of
men and two policemen one of the
latter being wounded in the arm.
Three armed men entered the house
of William Murdoch in Clonallton
street. Belfast, and shot him in the
back. Another civilian was fired on
while walking in the Marrowbone
area, and John Gill of Dublin road
was held up and fired at, suffering
serious injuries.

3 strande Trade.

A colony of women at Hackney, one
of the poor districts of London, Eng
land, has q peculiar way of earning
money. They "mend" nutmegs- that
is to say, they fill up the holes in
worm-eaten and damaged nutmegs
from spice warehouses. This work is
done at. home, the worm holes being
filled with mixture of nutmeg dust
and gum made into a paste; and the
poor women for doing this are paid
at the rate of four cents per gross of
nutmegs. 1t may here be said that
even close examination on the part of
casual purchaser could not detect
where the holes had been.

Give Child Exercise.

The Importance Of harmonious de-
yelopment as promoted by outdoor ex-
ercise, for the welfare of the nervous
system of the growing child, has been
recognized by both physicians and
laymen since the old Greek times. Cor
rect postural attitudes good respira-
tory and articulatory habits also have
a conspicuous place in the educational
methods against nervousness. This Is
true not only because of their esthetic
value, but because they encourage
greater self-respect, self-control and
self-reliance.

Oftentimes in moving furniture 1t
gets bruised, leaving a dent or small
hole. This dent or bruise can be easily
raised to the surface again by wetting
the part with warm water: double
piece of brown paper five or six times,
soak it in warm water, and lay it on
the place; apply on that warm, but
not hot, flatiron, till the moisture is
evaporated IL the bruise be not gone,
repeat the process. After two Or three
applications the dent or bruise will be
raised to the surface If the bruise be
small, merely soak it with warm water,
and hold a redhot iron near the sur
face keeping the surface continually
wet; the bruise will soon disappear.

ORLEANS
Charles Belway

Charles Belway died at his home
in this village Saturday morning,
March 18th, after brief illness.
Who was "Charlie" Belway? It
is not necessary to ask this question
Of the old employees of The Parker
Young Co., of Lisbon or Orleans, as
he was foreman of the piano back
factory of the Orleans plant.
Mr.. Be1way was born in Littleton,
N. H., 80 years ago, and was left an
orphan at an early age. He lived
with his grandparents until he was IL
years of age, when he went to Rye
gate, where he worked on farm for
his board so he could attend school.
When about Ia years old he went to
Lisbon, N. H., where he entered the
employ of the Parker-Young CO., in
the piano back department. About
20 years ago when the company pur-
chased the E. L. Chandler Co. plant
in Barton Landing (now Orleans), he
came here with number OF other
men sent from the Lisbon factory, and
has remained in the employ of the
Parker Young Co., ever since, being
the only one who remained of the
original crew sent here to manufac-
ture piano backs.
improvements in the method of man
ufacturing backs or anything else
that would be of benefit to his en-
ployers. He worked his way up to
foreman of the piano back factory
and the writer realizes that in Mr..
Belway he has lost one of his MOST
loyal and efficient foremen, and that
his death is a great loss to the Par
ker-Young Co., as we'll as to the COM
munity in which he resided. Charlie
was liked by all who knew him, and
all the employees as well as the COM
munity mourn his loss. He leaves
wife and three sons; Albert, aged
eight, Archie, six, and Theodore, aged
ten months.
The funeral was held at the Meth
odist church Tuesday afternoon,
March Is, Rev. C. D. Pierce officiating.
The local order of Modern Woodmen
had charge of the funeral service and
the pail bearers were foremen from
the Parker Young Co.
Among the floral tributes was pill
low from the Modern Woodmen,
large wreath from the foremen of
the Lisbon plant and also large
wreath from the foremen of the Or
leans plant.
