combination hut there were numerous factors against it, the chief one being that Swedish ore in Ruhr blast fur naces was much cheaper than the Lorraine product and had 3 much greater percentage of iron.
 For example," said Dr kunarius, to manufacture one ton of pig iron from Swedish ore. containing an iron content of from 50 10 65 per cent it requires only 900 kilograms of coke; but if Lorraine ore is used. which con tains only es 10 30 per cent iron, it requires 1,400 Kilograms of coke 10 manufacture one ton of pig iron"
 Moreover he said, the freight on Lorraine ore would be very high. even allowing for the normal functioning of the Reggie" railway system. where as the freight on Swedish ore is only 3 small item, owing to the fact that if can be transported all the way by water, right to Thyssens own docks at the very doors of the blast furnaces.

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 a lot of money. He has also found that if 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. 1t is explained there is harmony because the wives keep their quarrelng to themselves, and if one becomes too strong the other two will unite against her.
 Again, it is asserted, the modern Turk of education is very little in f1uenced by the religion of his fore fathers. Priding himself on his west ern ideas and education, he is content to leave his wavering belief in the laws Of the Goran to the untutored

They believe that if each man were to avail himself of the four wives per mitted by the Koran there would not be sufficient 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 tAe law courts for separation proceedings. instead of the present method whereby the husband has only to return the wife's dowry and say "Begone," and the wife is cast adrift.
 These principles in favor of mono gamous marriages and modern divorce will be urged by deputies when the project comes before the assembly. IL Is certain to meet with determined opposition by peasants to whom four wives. which is the maximum num- Der allowed by the Prophet Moham- med, may be often a source of wealth because they are all forced to work on the farm.

furnaces are built particularly for the development of iron from ore of very high iron percentage, and if we used Lorraine ore if would mean almost a complete reorganization of our plants. Blast furnaces must develop tremen- dous heat and very high pressure to reduce Lorraine ore to pig iron.
 The Lorraine blast furnaces, of course. must have Ruhr coke, be- cause they are built for very high pressure on account of the leanness of the ore: and Ruhr coke is the only product that will function properly in such fornaces, But the Ruhr steel in- dustry can get along very well without Lorraine ore"

WHAT ROOSEVELT SAID
ABOUT MUSCLE SHOALS

The Salem, Oregon, Daily Capital
Journal, an independent paper,
shows that in 1903 Congress passed
the first Muscle Shoals bill, giving
the power projee to N. F. Thomp-
son, representative of a group of
capitalists. The bill was vetoed by
President Roosevelt, whose veto mes
sage contains arguments against
granting this franchise to any one
interest or individual. Among other
reasons cited were the following:
wherever the government con-
struets dam and lock for the pur-
pose of navigation there is a water
fall of great value 1t does not seem
right or just that this element of
local value should be given away to
private individuals of the vicinage
and at the same time the people of
the whole country should be taxed
for the local Improvement
at seems clear that justice to
the taxpayers of the country de-
mands that when the government is
or may be called upon to improve a
stream, the Improvement should be
made to pay for itself, so far as
practicable | am advised that at
another point ON the same river to
which this bill refers there is an
authorized project for improvement
by the government at a cost of
over 100000, and that an offer has
been made by responsible citizen
to do the entire work without ex-
pense to the government, provided
he can be authorized to use the
water power.
81 think it is desirable that the
entire subject of granting privileges
of the kind referred to in this bill
should be considered in comprehen-
sive way, and that general policy
appropriate to new conditions caused
by the advance in electrical science
should be adopted under which these
valuable rights will not be practic-
ally given away, but will be dis
posed of after full competition in
such way as shall best conserve
the public interests"
