SIR Take "FnIFisiMe" .The MON flWf 1Ypc* Atter: away wei» of Wenas ftp- Idleness, the steelmakers of England are starting up again, although tim- idly, with au eye on the blast furnaces. They are giving the lroamastgrs a lead. It the blast furnaces get into swing, as they are begin:Hog to do. he steolwakere can go en. Other- wise, they meat very aeon come to a stop again. The great steel works have some half a dozen furnaces in operation out of about twenty-four, end' are what is known as "working off the floor." That is to say, they are using up all the scrap -Iron which is lying about tile yards, much of it consist- ing onsist ing of debris of the war. There are small mountains of shell cases, old and new; great gums sawn into sections like cheeses; boiler- plates; macbinery costings—In fact, any old reap iron. In the acres of this scrap, for example, in the neigh- borhood of Sheffield there was almost everything one could think of, rang- ing from locomotive axle, and Drank shetts to safety bicycle parts and tin' CARL They are .101 grist to the steel- makers. The ordinary tin can is, of course, a misnomer. I1 is not tin; it Is not ever iron uatially, but a very soft steel. Out of this heterogeneous collection the steelmakers will, with- in certain limits, make any sort of steel they wish, ranging from the softness and flexibility of lead to flint hard, such as they use for high-speed tools, which in working become red- hot and will go on cutting without losing their edge. It Is all much the same to the steelmaker, In practice certain ores yield better results than others, but, generally speaking, he will take any old rubbish out of the scrap -yard and make from it high-grade steel, such as to used for razor -blades and ball - bearings. It is all a ntattbr of refinement. In non-technical phrase It is boiled and re-bolled, heated and cooled, and kneaded while hot like a lump of dough in the hands of the baker— only in this case the hands consist of a hydraulic press which administers a "squeeze" of 1,500 tons force. The scrap -yard may look like a most awesome spectacle of disrupted human achievement; all mouldering with rust, and as depressing a wild- erness of rubbish as one could hope to see. But rust does not worry the steelmaker. Rust is iron, and 1s used again. The chief difficulty about it le that all this scrap has. to be broken uP small enough to go through the fur- nace doorways, and this is not so easy a job as the uninitiated may sup- pose. You will see gangs of men here and there engaged in reducing these mighty stacks of Iron and steel to ! workable size. One gang was dealing with big castings. They make a pile of these, and a crane raises a weight over the pile, and drops it from the top of the jib: The weights used vary from' a ton upwards. When one of these drops plumb on to a pile of coat - iron scrap, it it well not to be stand- ing too close. Wrought iron has to be treated differently. You will find a blue - goggled man working quite on his own in a corner with an oxy- acetylene outfit. He directs a flame no bigger than a match on to the boiler -plates of a battleship, and, cut- ting them up, not quite like cheese, but with a moat astonishing ease and quickness. Close by is a blasting pit. This is used for manses of iron too large to be broken up by the pleasant method of "dropping the weight." The pit 1s filled with great frag- ments. A lonel/man comes along with an extremely handy and port- able electric drill, and drills a hole in one of the larger fragments. He puts in a charge of dynamite, puts the ltd on the pit, and strolls a few yards away casually. Then there is an explosion) the man strolls cas- ually back; the pit is emptied and refilled. And so it goes on day and ntght- That is the sort of material the eteet works. are using now. They would much prefer to use the neat and handy "pigs" which come from the blast furnaces. But the blast furnaces have been cold for months, and there are no "pigs" available ex- cept the few they have in stock. Some of the blast furnaces have been started, and there are hopes that in a few weeks supplies will be- gin to come in. Meanwhile, the steelmakers are using up the debris of the war and clearing their yards. So when you ride your new safety bicycle, or shave with your new Shef- field razor, you may reflect that it has In ars time in all probability played many parts. It may have been, and very prob- ably was, a shell case which never reached Fritz, or It might have been a bit Of barbed wire behind which You sheltered in your own particular trench, and on which you were pos- sibly hung up when you participated in the delightful entertainment known as a night attack.

That tire may be inflated to 60 pounds or 80 pounds and if it i underinflated' a good vigorous kic stay indicate the feat, In the cos of a truck tire carrying a pressure of 160 pounds or over, the only way that the inflation can be tested is by means of an air gauge and the pres- sure reysure should be tested daily if it is de aired to get the most for every dopa invested is tires. Keep the inflation up and the life of the tire is very materially prolonged. The surface of the tire also need attention. Cute and bruises open u passages through the guter rubber to the facbric underneath. At first these cuts and bruises .may not ex - teed through the rubber but the pres- suke with which sand and water is forced into them as the truck is -driv- en ever the road will eventually wear them through. The moisture then rots the fabric and it is only a matter of time until a blowout occurs. Repair these cuts and bruises as soon as they appear, seal the sur - feces so that the fabric of the tire is protected and that fabric will wear very much -longer and blowouts will rarely if ever occur. 806 Clarraa Sr,, Mosnotar.

WOMEN OF IRELAND HELP THE SINN FEIN Women -God bless them!—have done their fair share to carry on the Sinn Fein agitation, and without them there could never have been the rebellion which seems now about to be settled. Miss MacSwiney, a als- ter' of the tate Mayor of Cork, whose hunger strike was a sensation a year ago, is only one of several elected ntentbers to the Dail Eireann, Her visit to the United States is still fresh in the public mind, and now she appears to be one of the bit- terest opponents of the peace terms whioh the Dail is discussing. An optimistic correspondent read into Miss MecSwiney's remarks a con- viction that the peace would ''have to be accepted, but -her words appear flatly to contradict any suggestion that she favors it. Miss MacSwiney, apart from being a fluent speaker, is a frequent writer to Sinn Fein ' papers and is probably .as well in- I formed as any male Sinn Feiner as, to Irish affairs, even though her judgment is obviously clouded by her bitter personal experience. Mrs. de Valera has proved a great support to her 'husband, and it is doubtful if, except for her, he would have become so important a factor in the Irish rebellion. Her Davie was Sinie O1Flanagan, and she was taught Gaelic from Arthur Griffith sit a time when the Sinn Fein move- ment seemed nothing more for- midablethan an attempt to per- petuate the Irish language, and old Irish customs and to make the Irish people more pelf -sufficing. It is said that Sinie ,taught the language to more people than did Griffith. Among her pupils was de Valera, then a professor of mathematics, and their first words of .mutual love were sastsiliered . in the strange tongue whichto this day de Valera speaks with little grace. The de Valetas have six children, and their care does not prevent Mre. de Valera front conducting a sort of salon at. Greysbones, near Dublin, where the Sinn Fein leaders ..have been in the custom of meeting and carrying on their campaign. Nearly all the Sinn Fenn leaders are -married, with the exception of Austin Stack, the Home Secretary, who is a middle-aged bachelor, and almost without exception, their wives are interested keenly in the Sinn Fein movement. Among the ladies there is only one who would be reckoned as of a county family. That is Mrs. Robert Barton, whose husband 4a Minister of Economics in the Dail Cabinet. The Bartons live 0 in a stately home, called Glen- m dalagh house, in the County of 1 Wicklow, and it •has long been one of the show places of Ireland. de Ernest Blythe, the Minister of Trade t and Commerce, is an Ulster Pro- e 'testant, who appears to have been oc made a Sinn Feiner by his wife, formerly Annie McHugh, a girl of t unusual beauty. Miss 'McHugh was a school t teacher in Dublin when she met d Blythe, who was rather a gawdy su youth. She is credited with having ed fired him with ambition, but she it refused to marry him until he bad A learned - the Gaelic language.

P When the war broke out the num- bee of automobiles in use in Canada was 87,415, but now says the monthly commercial letter of the Bank of Commerce, the number is 400,000, STORM MAKER Production of natural storms by artificial means is the objeot of a new rain -making machine which consists of four blowers ' of one twentieth horsepower each, which force air through a spiral pipe at 1,100 cubic feet a minute with a vele ocity of sixty miles an .hour. After considerable research, it is the inventor's belies that by forcing warm. air from the earth's surface up into 'high altitudes, and ascending chimney, or miniature tornado centre will be created which will eventually produce a area of low barometeric pressure with its accompanying fall of rain. By changing the position of air gates in the base of the ma- chine it is expected that a high -bar- ometric stoma may be produced whenever desired. - The machine will consist of high towers and motors of five hundred horsepower. While it is probably true that if an area of high or low pressure could be produced artifici- ally, rain would follow, .it is very doubtful if any human 'machine could stove the hundreds of millions of tons of air involved in a sufficiently short space of time. FILLING CRACKS IN FURNITURE A - crick in a mahogany piece of furniture may.be filled by using a mixture eoasisting of 8 parts bees- wax, 2 parts yellow ochre, 2 parts whiting and 2 parte Indian red. For mere serious cracks, a mixture of shellac, beeswax, and resin in vari- us .colors may be bought, or the fixture may be compounded by melt - ng in a tin or iron pot a cupful of common shellac, a .spoonful of pow - red resin and a piece of beeswax ire size of half a walnut. For gold - n oak, add a teaspoonful of yellow hie; far mahogany, the same a- mount of venetian red; for walnut, he same amount of brown umber. When the substances have been horoug'hly melted and mixed, the ignid should be poured on a clean rface to cool until it may be handl- . While it is still quite warm, roll date a stick between the hands. pply to the cracks with a hot (but. my black hot, not red hot) chisel. Blythe, who was deeply in love, had to do violence to hie Ulster instincts, throw up his position. and banish himself in- the Kerry wilds, where he worked on a farm for no wages and for no other reward than an opportunity to learn the language of the countryside. Then be re- turned and married Mise McHugh. Desmond FitzGerald, the ,Minister of Propaganda, married a rich Ulster girl, who is an effective speaker et public meetings, and whose money has helped .the Situs Fenn cause -bp a great extent . Another woman who has been prominent in the ,movement is Mrs. E. J. Duggan, whose husband holds an important post in the Sinn Fein army. Hun- dreds of rebels on the run she has hidden and helped to safety. Mrs- O'Kelly ran the Irish Mds- skm in Paris, unmindful of the snubs her husband received from the French officials, and Mrs. Folkard accompanied the Sinn Fein plenipotentaries to London to cook for them, fearing possibly, that the English ,might contrive to em, or that a diet of Sastt ells ch food might undermine their original patriotism.

The material used consists of a minute quantity of a radium salt mixed, with some phosphorescent sub- stance as sulphide of zinc or barium. Such a combination will glow more in the dark than would radinm,which in Its 'pure state, is not luminous. The reason'that watches with lumin- ous figures can still be seed at their present prices is due to the fact that only an infinitettimal quantity of radium salts is needed to impart un- usual huninosity to the inert salts of barium and rine. 'VALUE OF CANADIAN MOTOR • CARS. A large proportion of the .matierial used do the production of a Canadian automobile 1* imported. For parts alone the annual bill is 512,000,000, while the basic requirements of auto- mobile manufacturers entail an in- creased importation of glass, rubber, Iron and steel. The growing uof< se motor vehicle accounts in great measure also for the construction of garages, tpubhic and' private. For the 12 ontbe ending June 80 last, 51 907,000 gallons of oil were immport, as compared with 488,018,000 gallons for the preoedidng, 12 months.
