Country During 1889; Give
Import, Export Figures.

The Lake Superior district in 1899
produced 81 per cent of the iron ore
mined in the United States, according
to figures compiled by the U. S. bureau
of mines and summarized by SkillingS'
Mining Review
Total tonnage for the district was
Al ,679,6O8 as compared with l0,04l,76
for the rest of the country.
Imports of iron, principally from
Chile, for last year totaled 2,4l2,5
gross tons valued at $5.865,510 cat $243
per tom. Imports of iron were up IA
per cent over 1888.
Domestic production for last year
showed an increase of 80 per cent over
the year before but was q per cent
under the 1925-29 average. Output last
year came mainly from 208 mines of
which II produced more than one
million tons each, compared with 172
mines having four in the million-ton
class in 1898.
Biggest increase in production came
from the open pit mines which produced
one-half the total in 1888 and three

Heavy repair work will be done at
the shops here for CCC camps in a
large area. Territory to be included is
the north half of Minnesota, the east
ern part of North Dakota, and the
northwest part of Wisconsin, Servicing
about So camps. Six different types
of camps will be included. They are
Federal forest camps, Minnesota state
forest camps, conservation, biological
survey, United States army and Ma
tional Park CCC camps.
At the present time a number of
enrolleeS from an Itasca county camp
are working on the grounds of the new
shops, hauling black dirt and prepar-
ing lawn. The shop grounds are all
enclosed with high steel fence, 50

A high board fence encloses other stor-

down. Judy cried and ran to the
teacher, who told her to pick up the
blocks again. She was going to do
this when she saw the little boy who
had knocked it down. She pushed him
away and then the fight began. The
little girl cried and the boy laughed"
1t is hardly necessary to comment
on the behavior of these two children.
We can easily see that Lucy gained
some valuable self-assurance from the
success she felt about the solution of
her problem, while in Judy's case, her
crying and Illustration have not con-
tributed anything to her feelings of
self confidence. In the one case the
child is depending on her own in
genuity to get herself out of difficulty;
I in the other, she is turning to an adult
in the hope that the grownup will
intervene and put an end to the trouble
for her.
Of course we must remember that
these children are of different ages
Judy being a year or so younger than
Lucy. But even SO, we may suspect
some differences in their handling
that have about as much to do with
the different attitudes as their age
1t seems entirely likely that when Judy
turns to her parents for help out of a
tight spot, they give it to her without
thinking of what they are doing. On
the other hand, Lucy perhaps, because
her mother hasn't time to be over
solicitous of her, and watchful OF
every little situation that comes up
has somehow or other evolved the idea
that she can do something about the
difficulties she gets into.
Naturally, children will differ very

SOLVING THEIR OWN PROBLEMS

A student describes the following
bit of problem-solving behavior which
she observed in the Institute Of Child
Welfare kindergarten! Lucy was one
of the group of children at the large
table near the window who were FASTING
colored cut-out figures of children,
houses dogs, etc., onto a white back
ground. In her haste to get dog
pasted down before the paste dried up,
she put it in the sky, rather than on
the sidewalk near group of children
where it belonged. She Immediately
realized what she had done and her
first impulse was to cry; then she
became angry and was on the verge of
tearing up the paper-although she
knew she couldn't have another piece
Then suddenly her face broke out in
a beaming smile and turning to the
teacher, who had come over to see
what the trouble was she said, why
We'll just pretend he's jumping rope
with the children. Maybe he's a trick
| dog like the one I saw at the circus,
and she proceeded to draw black
curved line up over the dogs body and
down into the hands of two children.
Another instance, in which the learn
ing is not so valuable is written up
by another student: I'm the nursery
Judy and a little boy were building
blocks. The little boy would put a
block on and then Judy, disliking the
way it looked, would build it over
again. A good looking house resulted
for the work of such young children
The little boy wanted to add another
block so he put it on top of the house
This caused the whole thing to fall

'GADGET' TO
Save $4,000
Homemade Device Employed
to Mark Roads is Money
Saver for State.

That useless looking little wheel you
will see running along amidships be-
side the Highway Departments stripe
painting trucks this summer is a
"gadget."
1t hasn't any other name-but it will
save the Minnesota State Highway de-
partment $4,000 a year in the cost of
painting center-line stripes on the sur
faced routes of the 11,40O mile state
trunk highway system.
Paint for the center-line stripes and
no passing stripes on state highways
has been costing more than $4,000 a
year. By using the broken line in
stead of a solid line, which is per-
missable in the newly adopted national
uniform standards of pavement mark
ings, a large part of the cost of paint
will be saved without in any way re-
ducing the effectiveness of the center
line marks.
Mechanics at the Minnesota depart
ment's central shop at the State Fair
Grounds, went to work on the problem
of how to produce a broken paint line
of uniform section lengths, under the
direction of Commissioner M. j. Hoff-
mann, assistant Maintenance Engineer
A H. Merrill, and Carleton Bailey,
equipment supervisor
After attacking the problem from
several angles, they developed and in
vented an entirely now device-the
$25 ,000-a-year saving gadget. 1t is
simply a rubber tired wheel, geared to
cylinder which turns inside another
cylinder. In this inner cylinder are
latitudinal slots. Entering and depart
ing through the outside cylinder are
compressed air lines which spray the
paint onto the pavement. When the
inner cylinders revolution brings the
slot in line with the airline opening
the recompreSSed air is released and
the paint is sprayed on the roadway
The spraying continues until the open
slot has passed the airline, then the
air is closed off until the slot comes
around again
The slot is exactly one-third the cir
conference of the inner cylinder This
! cylinder is so geared to the wheel
that it makes one revolution for every
100 feet travelled by the truck This
means that the new center line stripes
will be made up of SO 1-3 feet painted
sections spaced at &c 2-3 foot intervals.
So, in addition to the savings effected,
the very uniformity of length of those
alternating sections will make of all
surfaced roads gigantic yardstick.
The 100-foot sections will be handy
in score of ways. They will aid main
tenance crews in properly placing warn
ing signs, guard rail. They will help
patrolmen and others in making neces-
Sary measurements in reporting &C
cidents. They will aid in calculating
and reporting the exact location of
any surface break or shoulder washout,
or traffic hazard which may develop.
And they will be of service to the or
binary motorist who, for any reason,
measurement of distance on the high
way.
The most surprising thing about the
'gadget," however, is that it's entire
development and manufacture, in the
Highway departments own shops, costs
only about $125.
Painting operations started last week
but the department said nothing about
the gadget until it had proved itself a
success

Other states which produced less than
100000 tons each include California,
Georgia, Missouri, South Dakota, Ten
nessee, Virginia and Washington. Iron
mines are also located in New York
state but they produced no ore last
year.
Compared with the Importation of
2,412,515 tons of ore last year, this
county exported 1,O57,3O4 tons valued
at 1887 ,O86 Eat 1888 per toni. Nearly
all of it went to Canada. Compared
with 1888, total exports increased ITO
per cent for 1889.
Chile supplied &c per cent of the
imported ore in 1889 and Cuba and
Sweden II per cent each. Cuba and
Sweden each shipped nearly 100000
tons. Next in line was Norway with
about 100000 tons. Small amounts
came from Algeria, Australia, Brazil,

q. S. Foreign Trade

Americas exports of finished
