Corrosion Of Metals.

IRON and steel are almost equally
resistant to the effects Of corrod-
ing influences. As far back as 1881
the engineer-surveyors Of Lloyds in
vestigated no less than 1.io0 marine
steel boilers in actual use and found
it impossible to distinguish between
them and the iron boilers, so far as
liability to corrosion was concerned.
In 1891 thirty-seven of the leading
American and British shipbuildsrs
were asked for their opinion on the
subject. Seven held steel to be moro
corrodible than iron, eight held ths
opposite view. eight were uncertain
and fourteen could report no differ
ence between the two metals. In
1921 a careful examination OF eighty
nine samples Of pipes from hot-water
systems In New York city revealed
no appreciable difference between
iron and steel. Last year an investi-
cation OF twenty-one samples OF
wrought, iron that had seen much
service showed that the mean depth
of the pittings was 0.094 inches.
whereas the pittings in twenty-one
steel samples showed mean depth Of
e.oosa.

TT was Ferdinand's healthy custom
Of a morning to take a dip in the
sea before breakfast. On the morn
ing of the day Of Barbara's arrival
he crossed the links, for the nearest
route to the water was through the
fairway of the seventh. There was q
sudden cry of 'Tore!" and the next
moment a golf bail, missing him by
inches, sailed up the fairway and
came to rest Atty yards from where
he stood. He looked round and OBJ
served a figure coming toward. him
from the tee.
The distance from the tee was
fully a hundred and thirty yards.
Add fifty to that, and you have q
hundred and eighty yards. Fer
dinand's first emotion was ono Of
cordial admiration. BY some kindly
miracle. he supposed. ono Of his hotel
acquaintances had been permitted for
onoe In his life to time drive right.
1t was only when the other man
came up that there began to steal
over him q sickening apprehension.
Tho fact that this fellow was q
stranger seemed to point to his being
the man he had agreed to play.
Sorry" said the man. He was =
tall. strikingly handsome youth.
"oh, that's all right" said Fer
dinand. "Er-do you always drive
like that7'

the better in one way, for every
morning and afternoon that passed
was adding new layers to his self
esteem.
Meanwhile. however. dark clouds
were gathering. Ferdiuand's chesti-
ness had not escaped the notice of his
defeated rivals. He had developed a
habit OF holding the game up in order
TO give his opponent advice. The
Whip cracker never would forgive
the well meant but CALLING criticism
Of his back-swing. The Scooper re-
sented being told by a snip of boy
that the mashie stroke should be a
smooth, unhurried swing. The Snake
killer-it is enough to say that they
all had 1t in for Ferdinand. And one
night after dinner they met in the
lounge to decide what was to be done
about 1t.
"Yes, but what can we do?" queried
an octogenarian.
That's the trouble" sighed the
Scooper What can we do? And
there was q sorrowful shaking Of
heads.
"I know, exclaimed the Cat
stroker. II have II! There's boy
in my ofice-young Parsioe-who
could beat this man Dtbble hollow.
TIL wire him to come down here. and
wen spring him on this fellow and
knock some of the conceit out OF
him."
There was . chorus Of approval.
"But are you sure he can beat
him?" asked Snake-killer anxiously

take"

twined its tenacles so lovingly around
George Parsloe's nibiick that he
missed his first shot altogether. His
second made the ball rock, and his
third dislodged II. Playing a full
swing with his brassie, he missed
his fourth. His fifth came to within
a few inches OF Ferdinand's drive,
and he picked it up and hurled 1t
from him into the rough as il II had

EERDINAND DIBBLE sat beside

hurried off the course the moment
George Parslot had spoken those
bitter words. He wanted to be alone
with his thoughts.
They were mixed thoughts. Joy
that he had won a tough match came
to the surface. only to sink again as
he remembered that Barbara Midway
loved another.
'Mr. Dibble?"
He looked up. She was standing
at his side. He gulped and rose to
his feet.
"Yes?"
There was a silence.
Doesn't the sun look pretty on the
water?" said Barbara.
Ferdinand groaned.

Mr.. LOTUS did not live to see his
predictions and prophesies come true.
He will not be here to see Magnus

United States senator. But his widow
will. In appointing Josephine Lotus

Mrs. LOTUS IL naturally bright,

Is going to be pretty useful to the
senator. Her special job. she says. is
to look after departmental matters.
The writer found Mrs. LOTUS much
more inclined to talk about the chief
and his family than about herself.
She is loyal to the core. and gave
true picture Of the Johnsons that
obliterates the caricatures that have
been published.
''The secret Of Senator Johnson's
success" she said, "is that he has
lived by the golden rule. He has
made that the preoept Of his life
political and private. He has no
creed. but he is naturally religious at
heart. Practical Christianity has been
his governing principle"

Ferdinand's inferiority complex was
back again, doing business at the old
stand.
For ten days Barbara Midway had
been living for that meeting with
Ferdinand when. getting out Of the
train, she would see him with the
lovelight sparkling In his eyes. The
poor girl never doubted for an in
slant that he would unleash his
pent-up emotions inside the first Ave
minutes.
"well, here I am 1t last" she cried
gayly.
"Hullo," said Ferdinand with a
twisted smile.
