How Hardened Steel Wheels Of Glass
Cutters May Be Sharpened With
Little Trouble.

The hardenetl-steel wheels of glass
cutters can he sharpened without re-
moving from the handle, In the follow
ing manner: Hold the cutter against
an emery wheel SO that an angular fac.
OF the former Is parallel with the
grinding wheel. The handle will he
ground away at the point far enough
to bring the cutter into contact with
the emery wheel, hut this will not

direction. After rough grinding the
cutter 1t should he held in contact
with wet grndstone to insure a
smooth, fine edge. Caution should be
used I'm the rough-grinding operation.

~ To prevent it from getting too hot
and losing the temper. The cutter

nous dams are built across the Great

together will impound S47, 900 acre
feet of water under maximum flooding
conditions. This is 40 per cent great
or than the flood of 1913. and is he
liev"d t" he greater than any possible
future flood.
Each Of the five dams included in
the conServanry system is pierced at

allows the normal flow of the stream
To enter the lower channels. These
conduits. when full. carry all the Wa
ter the channels can coutain; in flood
times the water backs up behind The
dams and between the thanking hills,
in some streams for many miles
The dams and basins constitute
the essential features Of the system,
and with retaining banks, channel en-
larsement and Improvement and the
removal of islands make up the
whole OF the simple but gigantic
work.

GEN. LORD ALLENBY EXPLAINS BRITISH PURPOSE IN SUDAN
Premier Quoted as StreSsing Importance of Sudan and Efforts of England and
 Egypt in Its Behalf
By Associated Press Il. r.N 4.4.-,-N I..l.

Alexandria. Egypt, July July 1.-- General Lord Allenby, British high commissione, of Egypt during a re- cent visit to Khartoum, delivered an address in which he indicated British purposes in the Sudan, He said in part:
 q notice some fears among the Sudanese peoples regarding 8 less intimate future association between Great Britain and the Sudan for the development of the country. Such intentions are not those of the British government, and as confir- nation of these words l cannot do letter than mention to you the speech of the British premier in the House of Commons, February 2S, 1922, when the question of the inde- pendence of the Sudan was discussed. Here are his words:
 "I must speak first of the Sudan which is very important for the British Empire Sudan deserves our good attention. The combined eff forts of England and Egypt have been necessary to preserve the coun- try from devastation and ruin.
 Labored 20 Years
 "For the last 20 years England and Egypt have worked both with men and women to re-esta blish peace and prosperity in a country which must and will be some day in the near future as fertile and as popu- lous as 1t could ever possibly be. The British government will never allow the progress already realized and the great promises of the future to be put in danger, nor will 1t ever con sent to any change in the bylaws of the country p'hich would diminish he safety of the millions of British capital aeVoteu to the development of the Sudan.

Germans Report More Men in Standing Army
 Of Europe Than in 1913
By Associated Presr

Washington, June 3O.-Germany laid before the Genoa conference fig ures showing that there are today under arms in Europe nearly 1,000,- GOO more soldiers than there were when it was on the verge of the World war in 1913. According to the German statement, which has just reached Washington, there are now in Europe a grand total of 4,736,000 men under arms compared with 3,726.64f in the year 1913.
 While the mighty German army of 760, 900 men of 1913 shrunk to the 100, 900 soldiers allowed by the Yer sailles treaty, the French army, which in that year numbered 8S3,000, this year stands at SS0,000 Greece's s army has increased from 10000 to 100000 and Belgium's from 54,641 to 113, 400, the statement shows. Rus got the undeniable right of demand ing full guarantees so that the de- clopment of the Sudan may not threaten the actual water dlstribu- ton in coming years. The govern ment is ready to give these guaran- tees, and there are no reasons why these should prevent or delay the progress of the Sudan.
 T think these words are sufficient to reassure you and l hope that, once back to your homes, you will tell your people that England is not abandoning this country"
