COPPER ME NFIND NEW MARKETS FOR PRODUCT

isbee, Ariz., Sept. 24.-If you can't find market for your product, make one. This is the underlying principle of a new voluntary organization re- gently formed in the Arizona copper district.
 For months copper has been a drug on the market. There is a sur plus of metal and the great copper mining industry of this state has stag mated; men have been thrown out Of employment; great pieces of expen- sive machinery are lying idle and de- preciating in value without produc- ing anything for the owners.
 Now comes the Copper and Brass Research organization. headed by R. l.. Agassiz, president of the Calumet and Hecla Mining company and num- boring among it's members virtually all the great copper mining compan- ies of the United States.
 The purpose of the organization is to create new uses for copper so that the surplus now on the market may be celaned up and a demand created for the ore still underground
 One new use for copper is expect ed to be found in Arizona next year if plans for adapting copper for use in manufacture of automobile license plates materialize. It also is propos- ed to use copper plates in marking autom obile highways.

Washington, Sept 24. - Ask Miss Grace Abbott, the new government mother to some 30,000,0O0 American children, what is the crying need for get an answer quick as a flash:
 ''Education!"
 Of course there are other things that are vitally needed to benefit the child life of America. But first and foremost stands eduction- After that comes hygiene, the abolition of child labor and kindred matters. Educa- tion will eradicate the other ills af- education, hygiene will take care of itself, and with education there can be no child labor, because the evils of it are clear to the educated mind.
 No idle. dreamer is this new god mother to the children of America, who has taken over the Childrenss Bureau of the Department of Labor. It is one of the biggest jobs a woman can hold in Washington, except per haps in point of salary.
 Radiates Efficiency
 And Miss Abbott brings to it no lof- ty theories and ideaHstic notions about what can be done to better the child life of the nation. There is lit tie of feminine fuffiness about her, either personally or the manner in which she has tackled her job. Rath- CT she radiates efhciency-not the cold, steel-like efficiency of the ma chine, put the unQerSIdnOlIlS SOIL OL efficiency that bespeaks a love of her work aand an unusual knowledge of human nature.
 Miss Abbott brings into the Chfl- dren's Bureau an experience gained in the School of Hard Knocks in welfare work She was born in Nebraska 3o- odd years ago when Nebraska was mostly rural. She educated herself by dint of hard work and close appH- cation to business, which has left ever so tiny a wrinkle between her snap ping black eyes
 After graduating from a. little col Iege in Grand Island. Neb.. she did post graduate work at the State uni versity, and then went to Chicago, where she studied philanthropy at the University of Chicago.
 The teening slums and foreign quarters of Chicago fascinated her, and the years that followed her col lege work found her working hard to alleviate the conditions which she found all too prevalent in the Windy City. For some years she was direct or of the Chicago League for the Pro- lection of Immigrants. an organfza- tion which many now prosperious Chicago business men remember gratefully.
 Then Boston attracted her and she went to Massachusetts as executive secretary of the State Immigration Commission. Under her direction an exhaustive investigation and report were made in immigration problems.

kNzAC BISHOP FOR
 PACIFIC FEDERATION

Sydney, N. S w.. Sept. 24--Estab- lishment of a permanent Pacific con- ference and an island federation was urged recently by Dr. Radford, Bish- op of Goulburn, in an address before the Governor General, the admiral commanding the Australian fleet and other distinguished persons.
 Dr. Radford said a standing Pa cif1c conference should include all powers having possessions in the Pa cffic Ocean-the British Empire, Unit ed States, Japan, France and China and perhaps Holland and India. As a nucleus for united and solid action, he proposed a triple alliance of Great Britain, the United States and Ja- pan.
 He prop~d that a federation be formed of the groups of Pacific isl- ands which are now under mandates to Australia and New Zealand, or are colonies of Great Britain. These islands would all have representa- tives in a federal council in which Australia New Zealand and Great Britain also would be represented Ultimately, he thought, Great Britain might find it desirable to withdraw from direct representation in this council and entrust the task of main taining the prestige of the British Empire in the Pacific entirely to Aus tralia.

London, Sept. 24.-The cartoonists are beginning to picture London as the nations health resort. Already doctors are cartooned holding the pulse of a. provincial patient, advising him to run up to London for a rest and cure.
 The latest health figures are the ba sis of Isondon's claims as spa.

 The infant mortality was 76. which, the statisticians hasten to point out, compares with s5 for New York city
 The birth rate rose from 18-2 to 26.4 per 1000 of population
 Statisticians for England and Wales hurried their compilations, SO that .wo days after the London figures ap- reared London was informed that January to March set a new record or marriages and that infant mortal !ty. from April to June, was ST per thousand population, also a record.

and-many requests will have to be denied"
 Miss Abbott is going to pay particu- lar attention to better1nent of child life in the rural districts of America She grew up in rural Nebraska and she knows some of the problems and the heartaches of young rural America.
 'FFor years,'' she said. i've have heard so much about the terrors of child life in the slums and congested centers of cities. It's all true, but it is also true that conditions in some parts of our rural regions are just as bad.
 "Chi1dren are kept out of school to help with the crops; they are kept out of school to tend stock; they are kept out of school to attend to the thou sand and one things about farm and it isn't right. Children in the rural districts should have the adve ntagee of school just as much as those i11 the cities.''
 She is undaunted by lack of fund and other resources necessary tf growth and expansion of the bureau
 '-These are hard times.'' she said smiling "We will do the best we
 can.'

ITALY WANTS TO PAY
 ITS SHARE OF CHECK

Rome, Sept 24--Much indignation has been aroused in Italy by the pro- posa1 that, in determining the ex- penses of the League of Nations, Italy should be assigned to the sec ond category.
 The Italians national pride has been hurt by the suggestion and col umnS have appeared in the press protesting against the idea of re1egat- ing the country to a position inferior to other great powers. According to the suggestion, Great Britain md France would be placed in the first category while Italy and Japan would occupy the second. The price of be- ing registered in the first category is 2,300,0 900 francs a year while those of the second pay but 100000 francs a year.
 The Epoca gave expression to its feelings in this manner
 tHThe affair is exceptionally un- pleasant. Italy, which has so po- tently contributed to the victory can- not see herself assigned to the second category, as people who spend little are assigned to a restaurant of the second class"

 After France and England have monopolized nearly all the offices, af- ter the British Empire has succeed ed in having seven votes in the as semb1y, it could not happen other wise than Italy is assigned in the sec ond category says one comm entator. eff others have greater material potentia1ity, it is at least necessary that Italy safeguard her moral posi- ton by not allowing herself an in- rnSjtion n the others

 yachtsman who has been crulS- ing in Norwegian waters told the cor respondent that the price of a drink has doubled or trebled in Norway, where prohibition rules
 Just outside the three mile limit are anchored ships, mostly Danish and German, but also a few Britlsh with cargoes of prohibited drinks and round every one of these ships are dozens of small Norwegian boats waiting their turn to get part of the costly cargo
 To assist Norway in enforcing her prohibition law, Denmark has pro hibited the export and re-eXport Of spirits This merely means that the smugglers go to German and British ports to buy whiskey and gin and re- turn once more to their trading sta tory.
 The yachtsman said the Norwegian police and custom officials were pow erIess to deal with this industry and that practically every owner of a sail ing or rowing boat in the little towns on the Norwegian coast is snug gler.

Eruption of Flames on the Sun.

There was recently the biggest dis
turbance on the sun that astronomers
have ever happened to observe. 1t

were thrown to height of hundreds Of
thousands of miles
A gigantic arch of fire. spanning a
large section of the suns edge (as
seen through the telescope), rose, up
held, as it we're, by two columns, one
at each end Rising still higher, it
finally broke, assuming thereupon a
spiral form. The arch was at least
100000 miles high, and lasted four
months before it disappeared.

MESSAGE SENT AS WRITTEN
How 1t Has Been Made Possible to
Transfer Original Handwriting
over Gable System.

A wire and cable system, has been
invented, in Christiania, Norway, by
which it is possible to transfer pic
ture or message in original hand
writing over a practically unlimited
distance. The device was publicly
tested recently between two 600-mile
points, and was reported successful.
The manuscript to be transferred is
placed on a metallic cumbersome
what resembling an original wax
photograph cylindRr-covered with a
Photographic film and exposed to a
strong arc light. The manuscript is
copied on the cylinder film, developed
and chronOgraphically etched into the
metal The cylinder is then placed on
the sending apparatus, to which is
transmitted an electric current going
to the receiving apparatus. When the
cylinder rotates a needle moves on it,
touching every point on the cylinder.
Whenever 1t touches the copied letters
of the manuscript it causes a short
circuit, which is transmitted to the
receiving apparatus with its photo
graphic paper on which the copy is
reproduced.

Flying Gas Cloud.

A cloud of glowing gas has been
discovered flying through space at a
speed of 1,125 miles per second.
Readers may be relieved to know
that it is travelling away from US, but
even if it were coming our way there
would be nothing to fear, as many
thousands, perhaps millions, of years
must elapse before it could reach us.
How it manages to remain intact
while travelling at such q dizzy speed
Is mystery. Equally mysterious is
the manner in which it was able to
get up such a speed.
The most probable explanations are
that it has been shot from some gi-
gantic sun belonging to universe Of
stars far beyond those we can see, or
that it is a gradual accumulation Of
gas or gases which ultimately will be
formed into stars such as we see
around US at night.

TOOLS NAMED FOR ANIMALS
Not Always Easy to Trace the Con-
nection, Though Sometimes 1t &c
Plainly Apparent.

There are quite number Of tools
which are named after animals, and ii
Is interesting to find out the connection
| between the Instrument and the animal
! after which it Is named In some cases
the connection 81 ideas is evident and
1t Is obvious why the tool is so named,
| observes Il Writer i'll London Answers.
The monkey wrench" for instance;
| which is a spanner with Il movable
| jaw, capable Of adjustment, can, by
] a little stretch of Imagination, be
| thought to possess some likeness to a
| monkeys profile and, true, it deals
| with nuts"
The donkey engine" which is ca
pable of lifting great weights, may be
considered similar in disposition to
the animal noted for its stubbornness
and strength. We can see how the
mechanical "crane" got its name. In
the distance it looks somewhat Ike
that long-necked and long-legged bird.
1t is also natural that in a country
like the United States, where large
herds of cattle are found roaming
wild, the wedge-shaped iron frame in
front of locomotive should be
called "cow-catcher." The carpenters
horse" is naturally so called because
it has to carry so much on its back.
The derivation of the tailor s. goose"
is not very evident, but no doubt some
lOng-forgotten. imaginative and poeti-
cally minded tailor, in a burst of in
spiration, called his smoothing iron
a goose" and the name has been used
ever since by his more practical sue
cesSorS.
The trivet used to support "a vessel
over the fire, with its. long, thin legs,
is naturally called a spider" and 1t
is obvious why spiral instrument or
iron screw is called a worm" Also
we can all see why the large iron
poker which, being made red hot, Is
used for lighting fires, is called a
"salamander."
1t is not easy, however, to see the
connection between a crab-a flat,
clumsy animal-and the pillar used
as a winch; and why capstan is
calledNa "crab" is difficult to imagine.
Again, the bar of iron sharpened at
one end and used as lever for rails
ing weights is named 'croWbar," for
no evident reason, and | would
gladly take my hat off to the man or
woman who can explain to me the
derivation of the name "bucksaw,"
"catboat" and "bullwheel."

perfected by the shipping board with
most of the high-power radio stations
in different countries. Managing agents
and masters of shipping board vessels
were notified that the warnings would
be sent broadcast on schedules fur

Because of the number of vessels still

Copper and Calcium in the Air.

1t is reported that Prof. Hartley of
Dublin has photographed, in ordinary
air, spectroscopic lines due, among
other things, to copper and calcium. 1t
is believed that they arise from fine
dust consisting of these substances,
projected into the atmosphere by
road vehicles, and by smoke and the
sparks of trolley wires. 1t is from
the latter that copper is supposed to
come. The quantity of copper thus
found is excessively slight. Indeed it
is only the delicacy of the tests that
rehders it appreciable. Lines due to
lead, carbon, iron, manganese, nickel
and magnesium have also been de-
tected, but the quantity of these sub
stances is even less than that of the
calcium and copper, the lines of which
are always prominent in the spectra.

Revival of the British Beard.

A young man about town walked
down Bond street in London recently
and the Sight so shocked the sensitive
British public that the London Daily
Chronicle saw fit to run the item as
a news item.
He was elegantly dressed, says the
paper and carried the familiar cane
of Piccadilly, while monocle reposed
in his right eye. But his beard was
the masterpiece of the outfit. 1t was
very dark, it recalled the pictures of
the Stuart kings, and created SEN
sation wherever it was seen.
The young man, except for his
beard, was Enthusiastically English.
Il don't think that boards for young
men are likely to be popular outside
the West end" hairdresser in the
neighborhood of Bond street told a
Chronicle representative.
"But certain young men about town
appear to be tired of looking like
stage heroes, and have decided to
grow boards. A beard makes some
men look younger, and a man who has
weak mouth and chin which slight
ly recedes should wear both mustache
and beard"
