LUXURY CRAZE
CAUSING CRIME

London, Dec. 21.-Lower wages
and a craze for luxurious living are
held accountable by English prison
governors for many present-day
crimes In a report made by them to
the home Office. The governor Of
Durham prison says:
"A new stamp OF offender has
sprung into existence. Men and wo-
men Of respectable a~ntecedents and
p~arentage, in regular employment and
in no respects associated with the
criminal class. are taking to serious
crime with astounding facility"
The suggestion that a spirit Of law
lessness acquired by men while on
military service is responsible for this
is rejected by the governor, on the
ground that women In equal proper
ton to men are the offenders. His
explanation is that high wages, once
easily earned and more easily spent,
are not obtainable.
Men and women, boys and girls"
his report states. have all got used
to big money. out of all proportion
to the slight effort necessary to OBJ
tain it," and he continues: THE
economic readjustment of the past
year has created a number of dis
contented, reckless people, who do
not realize that they have been living
in an artificial wage market, and un-
consciously resent the changed condi-
lions Of supply and demand, work
and play. Money they must have to
provide the Injuries and amusements
to which they have grown accus-
toned, so they steal, pilfer and loaf"

Uses of Mica.

The stuff we call mica has been
used since very ancient times in India
for many odd purposes. Washermen
employed 1t to give a sparkle to cloth.
1t is the material out of which "un-
breakable" lamp chimneys are manu-
featured and is used for windows and
glazing material for pottery, and for
the backs of mirrors. Artists in India
utilize it largely for paintings.
Mica, ground to a fine powder, has
a high reputation In India as a medi-
cine. 1t is prescribed as a tonic. Ma
tive physicians are said to have a Sc
cret process for d~issolving mica
which, supposing 1t to exist, would be
an enormously valuable discovery, in
asmuch as it would mean that mica
could be used for making ~unbreakable
tumblers, d%ecanters and other dishes.
BY far the most important deposits
Of mica in the world occur in a belt
which lies in the northern part Of the
Hazaribagh district in India. There
it is commonly found in plates large
enough to have marketable value.

Hot Springs Is a government reserva-

forests which the American people
now own. Hot Springs was made a
reservation by the government in 1892
in order that the healing properties Of
the waters might be accessible to all
and not exploited by capital. Unfor-
tunately the reservation was made
only large enough to take in the
springs themselves and the town
crowds all about them, when they
should be in the center of a great
park. There Is a free ~bathhouse,
maintained by the government. and
other more elaborate ones operated

MISSOURI COPPER, COBALT AND
NICKEL OUTPUT FOR 1920

jefferson City. Mo-. July 30.-All
domestic cobalt and nickel ores MGR
keted in the United States during 1920
originated in Missouri, announces the
Bureau of Labor Statistics bulletin
just issued by Commissioner William
H. Lewis.
Fredericktown, in Madison county,
has the honor Of having supplied 1922
410 pounds of cobalt oxide and cobalt
hydrate for the commercial world
during the year. The same had a
first value of $262,801. The same cop
per-cobalt, nickel mines near Freder-
icktown in 1920 produced SO,626
pounds of slot nickel and 256,766
pounds of nickel-hydrate with total
value of $275.120. This nickel not be-
ing sufficient to supply the needs of
the United States mint and manufac-
turers, large quantities of nickel mat
ter were imported from Canada.
During 1920 the mines of Madison
and other Missouri counties produced
533,368 pounds of copper, as compared
to 5sS.57O pounds in 1919. and $780,
O73 pounds in 1918. In tie period
commencing with 1913 the 1919 pro-
duction of copper was the record
breaker for the State. The next best
year was 1913, when $4,000 pounds
were produced, as compared to 306, 406
pounds in 1915; 377,575 pounds in
1916, and 407,141 pounds in 1917.
Missouri cobalt, copper and nickel
are generally found together. A high
process of refining separates the
three minerals. Cobalt is used in
giving a fast color of rainbow gran
deur to glass and china ware. Idaho
is the only other state besides Missou-
ri which produces tits mineral sub
stance in quantities large enough to
make its recovery by refining corpor-
ations profitable. In 1920 no cobalt
was marketed from Idaho.
Before the European war the Unit
ed States imported most of it's nickel
ore from Germany. Hogtilities with
that country suspending commercial
relations caused United States manu-
facturers to draw heavily on the Mis-
souri, deposits, and also increased i'm
ports from Canada.
