COPPER NETAL MYTH IS EXPLODED: IS NOW
 BE|NG HARDENED

N Thera IA " well trenched belief th7t the man who can discover a process to harden copper will be- come a millionaire over night. In- strnments for saving wood, made of hardened copper 5000 years before Christ, have been found in Egypt, prehistoric tools for mining, made Iof hardened copper have been found alt the head of the Great Lakes. We do not know how the ancients hardened this copper. This mystery has exaggerated the belief in the value of the secret.
 However, copper can be hardened and has been hardened for many years. As matter of fact, there lis, except in rare eases, hardly any necessity for hardening copper. A steel saw is a better saw than hardened copper one would be, and this is true of nearly all tools. Cop per can be hardened and will carry an edge, and razors made of copper have been frequently exhibited but they never inspired any popular de- mand. We still prefer to nick our selves with good clean steel, which costs infinitely less.
 The engineering fOund tion points out amiably that we have hardened copper, known as alloys, and technically called tempaloy and everdur, which have all the qualities of steel and which are non corrosive. The most common hard copper is a mixture of tin and nick el, sufficient for tempering and has been well known for years. Though many dreamers are seeking a har- dening process for. copper, the cop. per producers are not seeking it.. Today they can make copper as hard as they wish and make as much of it as they want

.IRAK DEMANDS
REVISION OF OIL
American, British, Dutch and
French Companies Figure
in Dispute.
Nv the Associated rress.

~ the Associated Press.
BAGDAD, Irak, August 7.-Mosul oil,
which almost caused q war between
Turkey and Great Britain, Is again in
the news.
Irak is demanding a revision of the
exploitation rights granted to the Irak
Petroleum Co., formerly known as Turk
tsh Petroleum.
Four leading groups participate there
in-the Shell, which is Dutch; the
Anglo-Persian Co., British: the Stand
ard Oil Co., American, and a French
concern.
The demand for revision will be put
forward by the Irak delegation when it
GOES to London to ratify the new treaty
with England, on the ground that the
Irak company has violated the terms of
the concession. 1t is alleged that the
company has not kept to the fixed
times for tapping the oil deposits as
signed to it, thus causing a considerable
loss to the country.
Had the company acted strictly ac-
cording to the terms Of the agreement,
1t would have employed no less than
10000 men within the first i've years
and let the state participate to the
amount of 100000 in the profits
gained.
The agreement further provided for
the sale of petroleum at cheap prices
locally, so as to reduce the overhead
expenses of agriculture, the majority of
the Fellaheen working their irrigation
plants by means of petroleum driven
motors. However, the petroleum Is said
to have been sold at the same price
locally as in England.
The concession holders have pleaded
"force majeure" inasmuch as, despite all
endeavors, the insufficient quantities Of
petroleum found so far did not allow
farge-scale tapping operations. But
leading circles in the Irak regard this
plea as q subterfuge. They charge that
the Americans and English are attempt
ing to postpone the exploitation OF the
wells until the world market shall have

MONTREAL, Dec. / UN.S).
Threat Of a war" between the

players to any of these five minor
circuits, the 1eason for this dras-

accept what is known in baseball
as the universal draft.
Money is at the root Of the
big fight looming between these
five minor leagues and the two
major circuits. The opposing
forces have not been cordial for
fully ten yearS-ever since the
five smaller leagues refused to
conform with the rule or agree
ment which allows the big
leagues to draft promising play
ers from the lesser circuits at
certain stipulated sums per man.
The argument Of the ma
jors is that the principle Of
the draft allows the player
to advance in his profession

show"
On the other hand, the minors
contend that the scheme as 1t
works out allows the majors to
