recent report of the u S. Steel corporation states
that their activities slowed down to SO per cent of normal
capacity during the month of June July showed another
20 per cent reduction At the beginning of August unf

Building permits show decrease of about the ration
and is not expected that business in the building trades
will show much if any advancement for months to

claim that the main of the slump the difference

Spearhead Fire Basket.

One of the art magazines of the cur
rent month gives an interesting
treatment Of an ugly CRATE fireplace
in the living hall of a country home
which was remodeled for modern
uses The fireplace was torn away
for the entire space occupied by the
ornate mantel. A stone shelf on
stone brackets was laid at the top
of the bricks, which taking away the
mantel left exposed. These bricks
were treated just enough to remove
the toughest parts and were careful
ly pointed. Instead of an oval, the
space for the fireplace was made
square and instead of the hanging
plain barred CRATE, a fire basket of
wrought iron, with rough spearheads
set in the base, was placed in the
opening. Chimney arrangements We're
not changed and draft properties
of the fireplace were unimpaired. The
effect was surprisingly good.

WHEEL LONG USED
Has Been Known to Men Since
the Earliest Times.
by No Means New Some Thou
sands of Years Ago.

Father" said little William, "who
invented wheels?"
"Wheels were invented by" here
father paused to consult the encyclo-
pedia.
Jumping Jimmy! This youngster had
struck the weakest link in the whole
chair of mechanical knowledge. Even
the erudite compiler of facts had
lodged that query. 1t is riddle that
has never been solved.
What next? Well, father remem-
bered that Homer thousands of years
ago had written upon the subject. He
was astounded to discover, however
that wheels running upon fixed axles
and removable at pleasure were just
as well known to Homer as they are
to the owner of the flivver of today.
He tells us In his description of a
chariot that while Juno was giving
the bit to the horses Hebe fastened
the wheels to the iron axles. "These
wheels had eight brazen spokes and
the felloes were of gold and the tires
of brass"
All the epithets that could convey
an idea of, swiftness were exhausted
by Homer on the chariots of his time,
so that the wheel, running indepen-
IDENTIFY upon fixed axle, could hardly
have been a new invention even then,
observes a New York Sun writer.
The spinning wheel has evolved into
the sewing and weaving machines and
the automobile has taken the place Of
the chariot, but this principle Of the
wheel has been retained in each. Still
there must have been an intermediate
step before the wheel ran independent
Iy of the axle. No doubt the first axle
and pair Of wheels We're gouged out
of an immense tree and were all In
one piece. Before that people dragged
their loads. That absurd rolling
thing" must have been a great step
in progress In that day.
The next step may have been the
result of inspiration rather than In
vention. Perhaps some chariot racer
on one of the racetracks of city
more ancient than ancient Troy, fired
by genius and the desire to cash a
winning bet, suddenly hit upon the
idea that wheel that turned and an
axle that stood still was just the
proper caper.
How the bookmakers Of those days
must have laughed when they viewed
the sorry nag which he had purposely
harnessed up to disguise the larceny
Of his Intentions Confident Of their
knowledge Of the comparative value
of everything in the horse line, they
probably nudged each other as he
showered his gold upon them, inquir-
ing of him sarcastically If he got 1t
easily. Then when they saw that
the remark was about to recoil upon
themselves. what a howl they must
have raised! However, the driver, full
of that strange arrogance that marks
the possessor of inside information,
may have driven carelessly and been
disqualified for fouling.

The first living harbinger of spring
in the form of yellow and black

by Mrs. George H. Tapley on her
back piazza, crawling along very
briskly. Only a few feet away was a
snowdrift three feet deep. That
night we had a severe rainstorm.
The many friends of Miss Virginia
d. Tapley, who spends her summers
here, will regret to learn of the seri-
Gus accident she met with while
coasting near her home in Arlington,

breaking both bones of one leg neal
the ankle and splintering one of the
bones. 1t is a bad break, and she
suffers greatly.
