 By inserting | series Of rows of xronxe cooling plates among the bricks and attaching them to the steel shell of the furnace. he found that . sufficiently smooth inner sur. face could be maintained because of their action in solidifyins the semi-moiten material about them and encouraging the deposition of carbon and alkaline minerals from the gases. Further. if part of the inwall did fall. 1t could be repaired from the outside with little or no operating delay. and maintenance of the smoother surface permitted notifications in the design of the upper section to assure a freer flow Of gases through the ore and fuel.
 Combining these and several other inventions of his own with improved methods of constructing the hearth and lower section of the furnace. he was able to convert troublesome old structures into the permanent type. Some of these and others built in accordance with his designs. have been in use for a number of years with better re- suits. he observes, than he expected.
 Out of 900 casts on which a record was kept, only one fell below specifications; coke consumption has been reduced as much as lG per cent and production increased 80 per cent. and the loss caused by the up ward rush of gases carrying away orc and coke dust has been almost eliminated.

SAYS AMERICANS
 NOT MONEY MAD'
Noted French Woman Gives Her
 Views Back Home
BY MINOTT SAUNDERS iNEA Service Writer.)

Paris, April , Criticism may be good for the soul, but compli- ments arc always pleasing. As in friendships, this is also true of an American living abroad who hears from representatives of people he respects q pleasing estimate of his own country which he believes is somewhat more fair than the criticism so often heard over here.
 Madame Boas de Jouvenel, very accom- plished French woman and an ardent worker for better Franco American relations, has returned from a thrce- visit to the United States to tell her own people that they are mistaken when they believe that Americans think only of money She did not find it so.
 Americans really think less about money than most other people, she said. That is why they have so much of it."
 "Money-Cest comme Iamour'
 Money is like love, and Mime. de Jouvcnel inferred that those who have much love do not prize it as highly as those who have none. She said she found a very rich America, but denied that Americans are money mad.
 This d. refreshing observation for Americans who live abroad. They sometimes become tired of hearing about ''monoy-mad Americans from paragraphers, editorial writ CTS. cartoonists and tourists who never manage to bet beyond the sub way district of New York.
 Mme. de Jouvenol explained that she went for q visit of eight days and remained three months because she was so kindly treated and be- cause life in America so fascinated her. She said she was going back for her own pleasure and in the in- terests of friendly propaganda work.
 II was amused at the speed and efficiency in American industry" she said. American life is stimu- lating, I think. though. that Amer ican women work too much and try to do too much. But for American men. particularly at work. have the greatest admiration. In their great factories they have more than anywhere else a sense of teamplay in their work. and love of work for works sake. They have a col lectNity of effort. They arc metho- dical, determined. energetic. They are creating a new kind of civil ization."
 Then came the threadbare Ques- ton of prohibition. No European traveller returning from America is allowed to escape without comment on prohibition in the States. Mime. de Jouvenel said: Prohibition of spirits was good they are poison. But l think the Americans went too far. I don't think they should have prohibited wine-why. most of the greatest men of France have come from our wine countries. This is one of the

was thinking. At least, he thought he
was. After a bit he scratched the other
long ear with the other long hindfoot.
Finally he said; Il guess you are right,
my dear. That white coat Is going TO
