The new pro- ject ,is to block these three pates, with fireproof barriers.. The barriers are essentially earth - filled tunnels bored through the coal veins. The Plummer Hill barrier, 640 feet long, has been completed and is 'already holding back the subterran- ean fire.It will save more than 1,- 0o0,0,00 tons of coal, and will pay for the entire project several times over. The Lost Run barrier, ..three-fifths fin - relied, is a Mile long and in some places 200 feet underground. The Shawnee barrier, one-third completed, is 6,000 feet long and 175 feet below the surface. The fires are sufficient- ly far away to prevent their reaching the barriers before construction is fihiseed some two years hence. If you should visit the Lost Run barrier, for instance, yOU might think yore had happened upon another mine, For at this stage in its development the barrier is simply a: single tunnel, running from one side of the ridge to . the other, and cutting a 12 -foot gap -4' through a coal vein ,which is 4 to 12 feel thick and nearly a mile wide.

The Treforest Trading Estate is run with Government assistance and with- out profit by the "South Wales and Monanotitherhire Trading Estates, Lini- ited," Western Mail Clambers, Car- diff, a semi-official, semi-representa- tire body. It is one of the chief or- ganizations that have been brought into existence by the ^GOvernment for this purpose. The estate is a cleared' area, at present only 150 acres in extent, but capable of indefinite expansion. It. is located seven miles from Cardiff Docks, with which there is excellent road and reilwa,y communication. Raw materials can therefore be brought in and finished, manufactures can be ex- ported at very low cast.

The British Government has ap- proacted the situation from the point of view Of helping a singularly de- serving community upon which, from no fault of its own, the misfortune of prolonged unemployment has fallen. For the purnose of providing new employment upon the spot, the "Tre- forest Trading Estate" has been set up near to the seaport of Card•iff. offers facilities to suitable enterpr(s- es to induce them to start local in- dustries.

Rupert' Hughes, Henry Lanier, in their middle s'ilirties, Kathleen and Charles Norris, close to ,sitxy, Irvin Cpbb, sixty-three all are swinging a- long at a literary pace that leaves most of the younger crew breathless I oould name dozens' more, but the same thing is true of them all. They talk young. Their conversation, is es up to the minute as an: electnic clock. And so their minds, and, their work, stay young. You're as old as yon halk. Ten years ago Simon Bolivar, which is not Ids tame, was as big a name as any of those above. His tales were in the same magazines as theirs, his books sold as widely as theirs. He was fifty. Ten years ago at was Lan to talk to Simon. He was full ef new ideas for work, he was full of new wbiaasies, be had the newest jokes. But Simon., about that time, with- drew from the busy marts of trade to a small New England town. Some writers can do that and yet keep in the tide of things. But Simcn was not of these. And when he did come back, now and again, Whete the high tides were flowingo-he couldn't seem to ride them. To abandou the metaphor, Simon had gone dull. He had no new talk. He 'had no new jokes. More and more be chose as corapanione in his club the old fusty -wits -not always so old,'in years, either -who would join him in, singing old songs and dis- cussing old Plays, old time pugilists, old time beauties, old time football tea,mst. And so Simon talked himself older and older. He became e group-dis- Pelv.er, one of those prosy recollectors who cense any group @icy join to melt away. He "dated." And atis work began to date, too. But instead of trying to modernize his technique -he had been artist en- ough to do it -he barked back to the golden days when he was modern, and cursed tod.ay's editors and read- ers for not wanting what he had pur- veyed in the past Sinaon's name petered out of the magazines and off the bookseller's lists. He became a sad, pathetic 'fig- ure of failure -not so old in appear- ance, but old, old, old in mind, and ever older and more boreseme in speeoh. Simon is dead now -he died at 60. He might have di,e^d at sixty anyhow, but he need not have been mentally senile for eigiht of those last years. He talked himself into intellectual obsolescence because he spoke too much from memory. Watch your conversation. Have a young tongue. Take an inventory of your favorite stories. See how many of them you have been telling for the last five years. If more than half of them are that old, file them away until somebody asks for them, which won't be often and get a new static. Also -watch your phrases. Cut out the hackneyed cliches, the time -warn slang, the old loves. Learn what's going on in the world now -and talk about that. And don't let every event thane being discussed remindyou of One that happened in, 1917, '27, or even '33. If some one wonders if Beanie° Nagurski could have outplayed Willie Heston, give your views.

The deep -rooting habit ales, enables this crop to grow' vigorously and produce freely, in spite of prolong- ed periods of dry weather. The nutritious quality, of alfalfa hay is recognized and highly prized as a means of increasing prteluetion witui all kinds of live stock. In addition, it is one of the most productive of hay crops. in those ,parts of the country which enjoy a long enough growing period, the crop can. be cut two and three times a season, prOducing large tonnages per acre, and thus increased> production is obtained over plants that can be cut but once. Even the more northerly parte where the season is short and only' one cutting can be made, large yields - are obtained. For bastance in, North" ern Ontario, where it is not yet CO1D- sidered advisable to sow this crop alone, the addition of a few pomade per acre of alfalfa to the usual hay' mixture, has been found worthwhile, Fried Chicken For the' Picnic Cut young chicken in. pieces.. Wipe off with a clean cloth moistened in water, dip in very salty milk, coat 'quickly with flour. Cook 14 pound diced fat salt pork until crisp, add the chicken and fry until tender. Bring to the picnic either cold or keep it hot in a Dutch oven or vacuum container. Chicken should be kept either very cold or hot - it should never be allowed to remain in a lukewarm condition for a length of ,time. Gipsy Cookies Sandwiches For the Picnic Sandwiches are an important itern in most picnic lunches, and nothing makes a more attractive 'appearance than a tray of the tiny one -layer kind in tempting assortment. For them, use white bread, brown bread, whole- wheat, nut or chocolate bread, and slice it wafer thin. Whip the butter to a creamy froth so that it may be brushed lightly over the surface, then, cut into triangles, discs, ovals, fingers, hearts, leaves or any sthapes you de- sire. Use for the filling or toppingS mixtures that are savory, sweet or spicy -as yoe. wish. Use cheese, fruit or a mixture. An Appetizing Sandwich Filling Have eome slices of bread spread with butter.

In close association with the train- ing center are factories, for such light industries as can be worked without competing with the staple activities of the neighborhood, which are main- ly coel rainhig and the manufacture cf iron, steel, and tin Plate. Such light industries include a wbole range of enterprises, suph as chromium and electroplating, furni- erre making, leatber work, metal stamping, papertmaking, printing and ropemaking. Factories are on offer on varying terms to suit each industrial scheme. They may be built !specially to a manufacturer's individual require- ments. They may also be supplied on lease, fully equipped with standard of- fices, heating, lighting, power, water, sanitary arrangements, and reads and railway sidings, or with such,of these amenities as may be wanted.

It the immediate vicinity of the estate live 124,000 men and 112,000 women between the working ages of 20 and 64. This assures an abund- ance of intelligent and adaptable la - bo of al kinds.
