Pig IRONS BASIC PRODUCTS
Metal Sold in Three Forns-cast

Iron Is the most valuable metal In
the world to man. because it Is OF
more use in more ways.
1t has been known to men from earlI-
est times, Sayages smelted It. II Is
generally found compounded with other
substances such as carbon. These
other substances have to be burned
out In order to have pure iron.
Iron Is sold in three forms--cast
iron. wrought iron, and steel. Cast
Iron Is brittle and hard, like the lid
on the kitchen range Wrought iron
can be hammered out fiat or made into
wire or welded. 1t is quite soft Steel

Iron which has been melted and

is called cast iron. Iron which Is cast
roughly from the smelted ore In order
to be used TO make cast iron, wrought
Iron or steel is called pig Iron.
Pudding Is the name of the process
by which pig iron Is made into wrought
iron. 1t Is done In furnace In which
the carbon Is burned from the pig
iron. &
Pig iron contains the most carbon,
then comes steel and then wrought
iron.
Steel can be made directly from pig
iron by what is known as the Bessemer
and open-hearth processes. Formerly
1t was made from wrought iron.

Smith Will Fight
Proposed Amendment
To Indian Bill

WASHINGTON.-The Indian ap.
preparation bill as passed by the sen.
ate Thursday carries all Utah and
Idaho amendments ma1o by the SEN
al =. committee when the bill was re-
ported last week. Among the amend
ments retained was one which will
lead to fight in conference.
1t stipulates that settlers on the
Fort Hall reclamation project shall
be required to pay full cost of bring
ing their lands under irrigation and
If this proviso is retained it would
mean that many of the original set
tiers, who went on land under the
law fixing the maximum irrigation
charge at Sc per acre would be COM
PEELED now to pay an additional 500
per acre, and that the same would
be required of those who purchased
from original settlers.
Representative Smith maintains
that such retroactive legislation
would undertake to abrogate the law
authorizing the Fort Hall project and
would be breach of faith on the
part of the government towards
those settlers, and while he thinks
such legislation would not stand
test in court, he does not want set
tiers put to the expense of bringing
to establish their rights.

Temporary Business
Depression Shown
In Eastern Cities

Lynn, Mass, has ninety-five shoe
factories, manufacturing women IS
shoes exclusively, and we found them
all closed when we were there in De-
cember," he cited.
The shut down was only a tempo
rary one and designed to force down
wages, Mr.. Hull said he was in
formed.
There is little building in any of
the cities, even New York and Chi
cago," he declared. prices have been
greatly reduced on clothing and
many other articles, and wages have
also been cut. The idea of getting
back to normal seems to prevail gen.
orally. The farmers are harder hit
than any one else, since so many of
them have fed high priced grain to
their stock at big loss, owing to the
drop in the hog and cattle market.
OF those who sold their grain, many
were unable to market it before the
price fell on account of the car short
age, and were finally forced to sell
at less than the cost of production.
Most Of those who have bought high
priced land will lose it, as they can
not make their payments. They all
seem to feel everything will be ad-
justed in time"

peared to be in great demand in the

One Of the first references to straw

To many people the most important
considerations in the building of a
home are substantial construction and
comfort within. They are not keen
about a pretentiOus exterior or some
freakish design which will attract at
tention. Rather, they prefer a house
OF modest and popular lines, plain in
design, but radiating feature of good
old-fashioned comfort. Too often in
the construction of house these fun
damental features are overshadowed
by the demands Of faddish age and
as result the finished structure is
far from attractive and in many cases
not at all comfortable or conveniently
arranged.
These faults certainly cannot be
found In the substantial, modest yet
pleasing home shown here. While it
is attractive, none Of the more essen
tial features of real home have been
sacrificed to gain this effect. 1t is one

Vast Sums Spent
on Frivolities
by Milady America

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Ameri-
can women are now spending for
beautifiers, candy and foibles enough
to pay the entire cost Of the nations
naval program including construc-
ton of new ships.
Feminine knick knacks during
1920 cost approximately $5OO,0OO,-
900 government records show. The
cost of the navy for 1921 will be
$343, 100000 unless present appro-
priations are increased.
That little habit of Milady America
Of powdering her nose during 1920
cost approximately $50,000,0OO or
enough to build a giant dreadnaught
and leave SIS, 100000 besides.
Perfumes, cosmetics, scented
soaps, jewelry, diamonds and ostrich
feathers, for fans and hats now are
pouring into the United States from
every country in the world to make
the American women more beautiful
and attractive.
The government collects some
thing like $50,0O0,O00 a year in a
10 per cent tax on most of the things
American women use.
America is the only country in the
world where candy consumption runs
into millions. During 1920 the
American candy bill was in the
neighborhood of $4,000, 900. APP
proximately $15,00O,00O worth of
chewing gum was bought in the
United States last year.
But it is the records which show
the importations and sales of such
things as furs, diamonds, pearls and
perfumes, that the influence of the
American woman on American trade
and commerce is really made clear.
