No German Chance
In the Steel Market

Hamborn, Jan. 10 CA. i. by MalD
The idea of effective cooperation
between the Ruhr coal and coke m
dustry and the Lorraine steel indus
try, with the idea OF creating fornid-
able competition with British ana
American steel manufacturers in the
world market, is frowned upon as
impracticable by most of the Ruhr
industrialists in the opinion of DR..
Eunarius, one of the directors of the
August Thyssen steel works here.
He said there were very few eco
nomiC arguments in favor of such a
combination but there were numer-
Gus factors against 1t. the chief one
being that Swedish ore in Ruhr blast
furnaces was much cheaper than the
Lorraine product and had "a much
greater percentage of iron.
For example" said DIR. lIunarius,
ito manufacture one ton of pig iron
from Swedish ore, containing an
iron content of from 60 to iii percent
it requires only 900 kilograms of
coke: but il Lorraine ore is used.
which contains only 2S to 30 percent
iron, it requires 400 Kilograms Of
coke to manufacture one ton Of pig
iron"
Moreover. he said. the freight on
Lorraine ore would be very high,
even allowing for the normal func-
tioning Of the "Regfc' railway sys-
TEN, whereas the freight on Swedish
ore is only small item. owing TO
the fact that il can be transported
all the way by water. right to
Thysscn's own docks at the very
doors of the blast furnaces.
Besides" he continued. "our
blast furnaces are built particularly
for the development of iron from
ore of very high iron percentage.
and If we used Lorraine ore it would
mean almost a complete rcorganiZa-
ton of our plants. Blast furnaces
must develop tremendous heat and
very high pressure TO reduce Lor-
rainc ore to pig iron.
THE Lorraine blast furnaces. of
course. must have Euhr coke, be-
cause, they are built for very higL
pressure on account of the lcarncss
of the ore; and Ruhr coke is the
only product that will function
properly in such furnaces. Eut the
Rhur steel industry can get along
very We'll without Lorraine ore"

Local Political
Gossip as Time
Election Draws Near

With election but three weeks from
next Monday in Waterville, citizens
are beginning to get interested in pos
sibilities for candidates to city offices
for the year 1924.
A meeting of the Democratic CITY
committee was held last evening in
City hall but no definite announce
ments were given out.
For the past two years Mayor Leon
o. Tebbetts has conducted a success
full administration of the city affairs.
Mayor Tebbetts has not yet said wheth-
er he is going to be the candidate for
election for another year. but judging
from the huge majority on which he
was reelected a year ago all of the
Democrats would vote for him and
quite a number of Republicans.
Next week the Republican and DEM
ocratic caucuses will be held at the
city building, at which time 1t will be
definitely decided who the candidates
for mayor will be.

Midland landscape, its people and

for great beauty in expression, they
say. but because there is backward

Authors. painters. architects. must
clans and sculptors from the middle
west, said to be unappreciated In
their native fields are pointed out by
these people as reaching fame and
success in the east, in an environ
ment where there is more encourage
ment and recognition in their pro-
ducts.
I'VE do not believe this situation TO
be one of higher literary or art in
telliSence among eastern people but
rather to an uncultivated sense in the
people of our section said an au-
tEority in art circles here. I'VE
know that midlanders appreciate ma
tural beauty, our open eNpanses are
too full Of il not TO be absorbed, but
II appears that when II finds express

significance is not entirely felt
The majority of the successful
authors in New York and New Eng
land came from the midland, as well
as a large number Of the prize win
rers at these exhibitions of painters
and sculptors held in that section.
Perhaps the east is more inclined 10
the freshness and whoiesomencss OF
middle western products, which we

Realizing this tendency. steps have
been taken 10 give the midland art
list better facilities and to cncourago
a more profitable audience. The Allied
Arts Association has been formed by
persons interested in and directing
art for its own sake. \ modification
in the immigration eastward is seen
and the association plans to aid ana

the midland in hopes of putting mid
land life into midland art.

Women Scarce
Harem Must Go

Angora, Jan. ga. =. by MaiD-
Polygamy and the harem may dis
appear from Turkey, if the recon-
mendations made by the Turkish
parliamentary commission are adopt
cd by the national assembly. on the
grounds of economy, and because of
the growing scarcity of marriageab
v omen. members OF the commission
believe that the modern Turk should
he content with one wife. They be-
lievc that if each man were to avail
himself OF the four wives permitted
by the Koran there would not be suf-
fcient women in Turkey to make
possible one wife for every man.
The commission recommends also
the granting to women of the right
to divorce, as well as giving them re-
course to the law courts for separa-
ton proceedings, instead of the pres
cnt method whereby the husband has
only to return the WifeS dowry and
say ''Begone,' and the wife is cast
adrift
These principles in fdvor of Mono
gamous marriages and modern di-
Vorce will be urged by deputies when
the project comes before the assem-
bly,. 1t is certain 10 meet with de-
termined opposition py peasants to
whom four wives, which is the maxi
mum number allowed by the Prophet
N0hammed, may be often a source OF
wealth because they arc all forced to
work on the farm.
The modern Turk Of the city finds
it impossible to maintain such
harem because he has learned that
Turkish women of the better class
are fond of expensive dresses and
pretty things. Silk stockings for
three or four wives cost Il lot or
money. He has also found that If
n man takes more than one wife. he
must take three. Two are impossible,
he says, because they quarrel all the
time and the husband is bound to be
unhappy: each will ask him to take
her side and there will be no peace
in the home.
But with three wives. IL Is eX-
planned. there is harmony because the
wives keep their auarrcling to them
selves, and If one becomes too strong
the other two will unite against her.
Again. 1t is asserted. the modern
Turk Of education is very little in
fiuenced by the religion of his fore
fathers. PridinE himself on his
western ideas and education, he is
content to leave his wavering belief
in the laws of the Koran to the un-
tutored masses ind the peasants.
Finally, there has been n great
change in the status of Turkish wo-
men since Mustapha Renal built up
the new Turkey. They now go about
unveiled. speak to foreigners. ride on
street cars and appear at public
dances Most Of them are well edu-
Gated and read American and French
novels. Only recently young Turkish
priest named Ibrahim Effendi was ar
rested for publishing n pamphlet
against the emancipation Of women
and the abolition of the harcn. The
public prosecutor demanded that he
be sentenced to two years imprison-
ment for obstructing the application
of liberal laws.

Says His Prescription Bas

RHEUMATISM
Has Also Proven Remarkably Sue
cessful in Severe Cases of
Rheumatic Neuritis

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him help
less and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years Of
ceaseless study. that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C
cumulated impurities. commonly
called uric acid deposits, were dis
solved in the joints and muscles and
expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he con-
suited physicians. made experiments
and finally compounded a prescrip-
ton that quickly and completely
banished every sign and symptom of
rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery,
which he called Allenrhu, to others
who took it, with what might be
called marvellous success. After
years OF urging he decided to let
sufferers everywhere know about his
discovery through the newspapers.
He has therefore instructed drug
gists everywhere to dispense Allen
rhu with the understanding that IL
the first pint bottle does not show
the way.to complete recovery he will
