lhere has been only one fault found with us I'D to
the present time and that in regard to the bricks
we are now laying when compared with the past In
favor We noted the figures used in the comparison
and we all know the minimum number used in the.

want TO deny us the privilege. The that our
union would not concede in wages was but

THE CAREER or CHAMP CLARK
Cnme to Close Last Wednesday At
tcrnoon-20 Years in House.

Washington, March - Champ
Clark died here to-day in his list
year, and within two days OF his re-
tirement from the House Of Repre-
scntativcs. after Il service Of twenty
six years.
Death was due to an attack Of
plcurisy and Il complication Of dis
eases incident to his advanced age.
Up to ten days ago. however, when
he developed Il severe cold. Mr.. Clark
had shared actively in the proceed
ings Of the House as the Democratic
leader.
To his last conscious moments the
former Speakers mind was ell
crossed with memories Of his long
legislative career. Just before he
lapsed into lnal unconsciousness
early to-day those who were by his
bedside heard him whisper, THE
question is on the adoption Of the
conference report"
At Mr.. Clarks bedside when the

leans
The body will be sent to the old
home at Bowling Green, Mo-, where
the former Speaker expected to re-
tire at the end Of his Congressional
service.
Mr.. Clark presided over the House
throughout the World War, relin-
gushing the Speakership after eight
years when the Republicans regain
ed control last year as a result of
their victory in the 1918 Congress
sional elections. He then was chosen
as the Democratic leader in the
House.
During the present session 1t was
apparent that the former Speakers
health was failing. He walked slow
ly, with a dragging step. While he
usually was on the floor and follow
ed proceedings closely, he rarely en-
gagged in debate. On one or two oc.
casions, however, he spoke 1T some
length on important questions.
Close friends believe his death was
fastened by the death, a year fgo OF
his only grandchild, Champ Clark
Thompson, three-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. James NJ. Thomson. He
was passionately fond Of his grand
son. and associates say that after
the child's death they noticed a per-
ceptible change in his condition
which in the spring Of 1920 alarmed
his family.

Pioneers of the iron industry
throughout the country may recall the
stack erected several years ago at
Battelle, Ala, which vas abandoned
because it was too far from raw ma
teriaLs and had inadequate transpor-
fation facilities, says a Christian
Science Monitors Birmingham (Ala.)
correspondent.
For IL years the furnace stood in
active until the war brought the de-
nand Ia M~esopotamia for railroads to
move troops and supplies. In August,
1917, the old stack at Battelle was
bought by a group OF iron makers,
who took it down piece by piece, ship
t,ei it to New Orleans and loaded it on
n steamship for India. This is said TO
c the first iron furnace to cross Che
sea and make iron on two continents.

DUPONT Company Plans New Buildings

If plans which the officials of the
Paint and Chemical Manufacturing
Department of the dupont Company
are considering mature, the company
will soon erect the largest dry color
plant in the world. They are also
considering the erection of a new unit
for their lithophone plant n Whining
too.
The site for the new building work
has not yes been definitely selected.
The dupont Company now has q
number of factories producing litho-
phone, but the capacity is no suffici-
ent to meet an increasing demand.
The proposed unit will give them the
required further capacity.
Other plans made by the paint divi-
sion contemplate adding a new paint
and varnish plant to the dupont paint
and varnish group. During the past
few years the company has taken over
and now operates the plants Of a
number of we'll known and old estab-
lished houses, and the proposed plant
constructions will be in line with their
plans for further expansion in the
paint and varnish field.

SAINT production by the need of making
money. Although his wealthy moth
er's purse was open to him, her dis
approval of his marriage and his work
was 80 irritatingly expressed that he
finally had to refuse her assistance
The consequent driving necessity ac-
counted somewhat for his facility ana
his quick sense of what the public wa
going to like next.
By means of sparkling epigram In
his fashionable novel. "Pelham," ne
early achieved a reputation ms n man
of the world. He then occupied himself
with the crime-nOveI and the romance
of mystery. The satire of
and others In Fraser's Magazine drove
him away from the field of burglary
and homicide. and he delved into his
tory for subjects. This produced "The
Last Days of POmpeii,' "Rienzi" and
The Last of the BarOns." In "The
Cations" he founded the "true cult of
the colonies" This and two more of
his best works responded to the popu-
lar demand for domestic novels. Tales
of terror next attracted the public and
Bulwer created a sensation by "The
Strange Story" which came to him In
a dream, and "The Haunted and the
Hunters" one of the most perfect
ghost stories In English literature.
Finally, he wrote novels and satires
of society. His very versatility per-
haps prevented his digging deeply into
reality.
