london's Infamous Slums.

The slums of London. especially In
Shoreditch and Bethnal Green, have
scores Of householders who have not
had to pay any rent for two or three
years and have not the remOtest idea
of who their landlords are. The land
lords dare not come forward and adj
nit that they own these houses, which
are in q shocking state of repair. The
property is now liability rather than
an asset. n These tumbledown houses
have mostly fallen into the hands OF
foreigners and change hands so fire.
quently that track is lost Of the for
mer owners. The queen was shown
some of tile worst of these places by
the mayor when she visited Shoreditch
recently. She had expressed a wish
that nothing should be "tidied up" be-.
forehand. In two rooms OF one ram

new ALLOY COMES into USE
puralumin Said to Be Valuable for
the Construction Of Worm
Wheels or Gears.

Worm wheels or gears Of a new ma
terial are recent development, says
the Scientific American. Such wheels
have mainly been made Of steel or
iron or bronze, but now. for certain
purposes and under certain conditions,
they are being made Of duralumin.
This alloy has never before been used
as gears.
Duralumin is an alloy Of aluminium,
magnesium, manganese and little
copper, and Its strength and toughness
can be made equal to mild steel, and
for a given section the weight is one
third that of the continental bronze.
Superior strength in the teeth Is as
sured by the alloys tensile strength
and elastic limit.
The same properties that make du-
ralumin suitable and desirable ma
terial for worm wheels also make 1t
valuable for spur gears and other
gearing.
Where tiuralumin can be run with
steel rather than against itself the
best results are obtained. For exam
pie, in the timing gear trains of auto
mobile motors, where both long life
and quletness are essential, helical
cut spur gears of duralumin alternat-
ed with steel gears have been In sue
cessful service.

Very Depths Of Despair.

Stanley Coulter, dean of Purdue
university, has found new definition
for the word "pessimist," which he
gave to the Optimist club of Lafayette,
Ind, at club luncheon a few days
ago. -
Dean Coulter, who is chairman Of
the Near East relief organization of
Tippecanoe county, made an appeal
to the club for Armenian orphan aid,
his talk supplementing "a showing Of
the picture, "Alice in Hungerland."
The dean asserted that all optimists
must come to the relief of distressed
people Of the world. II know the Op-
timists of this club" he said, ''and ],
am sure there is not one of you like
the man recently heard about-a
man who feels bad when he feels good
for fear he will feel worse after he
feels better. That, gentlemen, Is the
latest explanation Of real pessimist."

FACTORS AFFECTING GRADING
Labor Costs, Character Of Soil Graded

prepared BY tho United States Department
of Agriculture.) 49,.
z, A great variation In the conditions
under which grading for highways is
done in different sections Of the United
States Is reflected In cost data COM
piled by the bureau Of public roads,
united States Department of Agricul-
.ture, on 1850 miles of federal-aid road.
The figures cover the fouryear period
.i1917-192l and are based on q total OF
24,5OO,OOO yards of earth.
For the groups Of states the aver
age price per cubic yard is as fol-
lows: New England and Middle At
lantic states, $1.33; East North Gem
trail, $O6S; West North Central, $0.49;
South Atlantic, $O.61; East South Gen.
trail, $041; West South Central, $0.35 !;
Mountain, $O.52; and Pacific states,
'$0.61. The general average price was
$0!58.
Probably the most important factor
affecting the cost was the amount of
grading to be done per mile, the
quantity being very small In the
groups having the highest prices. In
general II is noticed that where mostly
old roads are rebuilt. the light work
and tearing up the old pavement great
,ly affected the cost. The amount Of
fine grading or trimming required for
the higher types Of pavement was also
a factor. Labor costs, character of
soil to be graded, climatic conditions,
time limit on contracts, and cost OF
Idetours for traffic also affected the
cost.
While each group Of states did not
have the same volume of grading each
year, and therefore the average figure
for the whole country Is not truly
