I The monument has taken the form of a protection for the trench as it originally stood, it was fell by Mr. Hand that the spot itself was sym? bolic of the heroism Of the French soldiers and that the most appro? priate form which the memorial could take would be a protection for all time of the trench. The story of how Mr. Hand gave the money for the memorial has\just been told in Paris. Shortly after his arrival in France in May. 191.?. Amir baasador YVullece went to Verdun and was deeply moved by the "Trench of Bayonets." Very soon afterward Mr. Rand visited the ambassador, who re luted to him the story of the world re? nowned trench. Mr. Fand then toured the battle? fields and among the things he saw was the "Trench of Bayonets." Re? turning to Purls Mr. Rand told tue ambassador that he was also pro? foundly Impressed with the trench and erpressed a desire to offer the French government 600.000 f runes for a suit? able memorial. The ambassador immediately took Mr. Hand to see M. tJlorpenceau, then premier, who approved the idea. The next day a crtmmittee was formed to arrunge the details and a few hours later Mr. Rand was killed in attempt? ing to fly to London. The ceremony of dedication will be made the occasion for an official French demonstration of gratitude for America's part in the war. Pres? ident Millerand will deliver the prin? cipal address and Ambassador Wal? lace also wll speak.

An innovation in federal government bureau meth? ods, involving- practical cooperative assistance to the mining, metallurgical and certain other Industries of the country in solving many of tho intri? cate and complex problem! in manu? facture, la outlined in'the annual re? port of Dr. i*\ (i. CnttreJI, Director of the bureau made public today. This new policy, is deaoiibed as a direct outgrowth of the world war. It is d< -dared that not only has the Bureau of Mines adopted this ad? vanced co-operation with the actual needl Ol the industries, hut that the Hading nations of the world are fol? lowing suit, determined not to be left behind in the coming race for supre? macy Id the Industrial trade of the world. Greet Britain, it is said. is es? pecially alive to this movement. For this new work the Bureau of Mines has thirteen well organized ex? periment stations located in the dif? ferent mining and metallurgical fields of the country, all fitted. Director Cottrell Beys, With the necessary chem? ical and labosator yappar&tus as to en? able It to take up with the industries peculiar to its districts where the sta? tions are located the most pressing problems that have baffled them, es? pecially those involving the treatment of low-grade ores, many of them here-' before useless, and turn them into commercial processes of value to na? tion. 80 successful have these methods Of solving commerical problems been, ac? cording to the Bureau Of Mines, that at present the bureau has agreements for experimental work with nineteen industrial concerns, twelve different universities, and with state agencies in eleven states. These cooperative agreements with tho bureau embrace many different activities. For instance, there Is nil experiment station at Bartlesvillo. Okla., devoted entirely to the work of the petroleum industry. Already in one of the oil fields of Oklahoma the investigations of t he engineers are said to have gone far enough to indicate that the production of this field may be materially increased because certuln of the productive sands had not been recognized by the operators. Seeking to find additional sources of motor fuel for the rapidly increas? ing number of automobiles, the bu? reau has entered into cooperative ugreements with the states of Ftah and Colorado to develop ihe oil shale industry. At Boulder, Colo., an ex? perimental oil shale retort has been installed and tests have been begun on shales of that district. At. Salt Lake City, l*tah. similar Investigations are being made. Cooperative oil shale work is also being conducted with the Southern Pacific Company at Elko. Nevada. ? (General investigations of the waste of gasoline through evaporation alone will result, the bureau says, in the saving of sufficient gasoline to run 1.200,000 additional automobiles each year. At the Oolden. Coin., station 0 fthe bureau, since removed to Reno. Ne vade, in cooperation with n company engaged In the manufacture of gaa mantles, the bureau has developed that a substance known as meso-thorium can be used as a substitute for radium in the manufacture of luminous paints thus saving the radium for its more important therapeutic uses, as in oases of cancer. At the Berkeley. Calif., station a co? operative agreement with he North? west Magnesite Company of Wash? ington has resulted in the solving of Certain problems In the manufacture of caustic magnesia that arc said to make American magnesite products compare favorably with those import? ed. At the Ceramic station of the bu? reau at Columbus. Ohio, the bureau says It has establshed that American bond clays can be used with as good effect lb the manufacture of crucibles is Imported clays. The lack ot this knowledge during the war was said to ha ye been a serious handicap to the industries manufacturing war mater? ials. ? In cooperation with the University of Minnesota, the station at Minnea? polis, is investigating the low-grade iron reserves of rhc state to obtain information necessary to the iron-ore OOSnpenles Of the state and the steel industry generally. To assist in the work an experimental blast furnace has been erected and a comprehensive record of fundamental data on blast ?furnace: methods is being made. One ? f the problems of far-reach? ing Importance to the metallurgical companies and to the nation is the development of commercial processes whereby the many complex and low grade oros Of the west may be turn? ed into profitable enterprise. The station of the bureau at S ilt Lake City Is engaged in such cooperative work With a number of large metallurgical concerns and with the metallurgical research department of the Utah BchOOl Oi Mines. a prediction \s to rlec tiucity by dh, sTF.i.NMirrz.

Don't Neglect the Home Orchard Clemson College. Dec. 4?"You can't afford to neglect the home orchard," is the burden of tlie fruit song now being sung by the chorus of Exten? sion Service horticulturists and county agents. The song, which is entitled, ' More and Fetter Fruit," has stanzas on planting, pruning, spraying, culti? vating, etc. In conjunction with the. county agents throughout the state the Ex? tension Service horticulturists are con? ducting an orchard campaign with emphasis upon pruning spraying and related orchard work. A schedule by which the specialists will spend one to three days with each county agent is now being carried out and all who are interested in growing more and better fruit on small or large scale should seek assistance from the county agents concerning orchard week, dur? ing which held demonstrations and lectures ami instructions will lie given in various orchards in eacii county. Even under normal conditions, says George P. Hoffttian, Extension Horti? culturist, importance of the home or? chard is too great and well known to need argument; and under normal conditions now existing, with high prices of food stuffs and with the boll weevil menace to the South's prin? cipal money crop, a good home or? chard is a necessity lor right coun? try living. Since fall and winter are the best months for orchard work, farmers and many others who have gvallable land are urged to begin at once either to plant a home orchard or to give better cure in pruning, spraying and cultivating such orchards as alreay exist.. Attention is called to the .shortage of good trees and vines, and conse? ntient high prices, but stress is laid UpOU the fact, that trees for a one .. fourth acre home orchard (approxi? mately SO trees and vines) is suffi? cient to supply the average family (with abundant fruits, and will cost not more than $10 or $l.r>, a sum which iK unimportant In comparison with the value ol the fruit to be derived fron* sUeh an ( rchard. xtt man ever plants a tree for him? self alone." PENNSYLVANIA'S COAL Bt'SINES* ?Washington, Dec.

The value of coal produced in the Pennsylvania field increased from $146,881,000 in 1909 to 6964,343^00 last year, while wages advanced from $92,169,000 In 1909 to $210,2t>2,000 In 1919. Mine operators had an invested capital of $246,113,00 ten years ago but the properties were estimated to be worttvOjIt32,391,000 In I9t9. An analysis ol the mine operators' ex? penses showed that while they paid taxes aggregating $7,969,000 In 1909, the taxes In 1919 were $11,762,000 and their rents and royalties grew during Ihe ner'od from 83,356,000 to $14, 066,000. Of the total value of coal produced In the Pennsylvania Held In 1919, the Wyoming-Bern Ice basin district re? ported an output of $212,316,060, the Sehuy Ikill. $100,968,000 and ihe Le htgh, $60,969.000.

Dec. 6.?Sir William No? ble, engineer in chief to the British Post Office, which also controls the telephones of the country, says the American telephone system is superior to that of Great Britain. Sir William, who has just returned from a visit to the United States, told the Society of Arts the general introduction of automatic telephones was probably the main feature in the American scheme, of progress. Dis? cussing this matter with telephone ex? perts in the cities he visited, he found practically a unanimous opinion that full automatic working was the only certain method of ensuring the qual? ity of service demanded by the public. The popularity of the telephone in America, was. he considered, due first Of all to the flat rate, secondly to monthly acounts, and thirdly to party line service and the policy of foster? ing residential lines.

Europe hikI Help tmraetvrc W hat is more important in a broad sense than anything else in the 12.? 5o0.n00.0on loan to central Europe urged by the farmers tit rough their various organizations is their willing? ness to challenge the OSSertiOM that ISurope is ? bad business risk. In Europe alone to-day there aro 9.200,060 idle cotton spindles, and of this number 6,060,660 aro in Oermany and I zecho-Slovakia. The total -.o tlve Spindles in the last named coun? tries are only about 6.000,000. In Austria there are 1.300.000 spindbs. of which probably fewer than 1.000 are working. All Europe exclusive of Busia has 73.000,00a active spindles. Thq idle spindles, therefore, amount to more than 12 per cent, of present active spindles. Sind nearly all the. inactive -it v is in central Europe. Our exports of cotton to Europa amount roughly to |4J6.606,606 ? ye: r I at the present rate. If tho. 1? prr cent., additional capacity of European spindles were revived by a ered!t to central Europe we should be able to dispose of an additional IS7,660.666 of cotton. Before the war Germany imported about 600,000,006 pounds of American copper B year. She is now unable ta buy more than 166,660,669 pounds. Italy took an average ground #0.006. 000 pounds, but is buying scarcely any now. Total exports to Europe in 1913 were 026,000.000 pounds, but this year they will not be more than 600,666,* 000 pounds, if they reach that figure. There Is B surplus of copper in this country amounting to about 900.00o. 000 pounds. Europe could very likely use the whole surplus if it could bo obtained on reasonable terms aud conditions. In textiles, in the metal industries, in materials and manufactures gen? erally, as well as in agriculture, there are surpluses, larger in some cases than in others, and in nearly all coses these surpluses could lie used to great . advantage on the other side. Observers coming back from Europe do not believe the people over thero have any intention of casting off the restraints of civilization or their old habits of eating, living in dwell? ings, riding on railways. Bather are these returned travellers inclined to praise Europe for its strenuous ef? forts to reconstruct the damaged socp tions and to get back on a normal basis. What the foregoing figures on cot? ton spindles and copper show Is that on this country rests the resnonsi , bility for idleness of a great part ??? , Europe's vast industrial machine be? cause we have failed to furnish raw , materials even in pre-war quantities , when they should have been sent in . still larger bulk. The excuse has been > that we did not have enough capital . to lend to Europe. As capital is goods . and services* as well as gold, and we. . have plenty of these, we have the capital. It is well also to understand jest what is necessary to make Europe a . good risk. Bankers have pointful out 1 time and again that it would be fruit I less to keep sending food to Europe, for credit or for cash, in the hope that reconstruction could be carried i on with food alone. This is an im? portant point for the farmers to re? member. The job of reconstruction is slow and must be balanced with i nicety. Human beings must be fed, bitf general industry must have a lib? eral ration of raw material to give the workers employment to to pay for the food. What we need to do is to avoid en? tangling theories and go ahead on the principle that for Europe's good and in our own enlightened self-interest the best thing we can do is to givoj credit to the Continent. Out of this credit we can restore Europe's indus? trial machinery, and with industry going full speed the nations novr classed as a bad business risk will 1 have buying power enough to relievo US of our millions of Inishels of sur? plus wheat, corn and other products. And this will all be done on a business basis, Without making Europe tho object of charity.?X. T. Hernia. GAY SCENES IN MADRID. Madrid, Bee. 2.?More color is to bo seen in the palace1 yard of Madrid when K^ng Alfonso is in residence than is to be found In any other part of Spain. The military spectacle alone is brilliant, with the striking uniform? Of red and blue hussars, the dark blue of the artillery men and the red trousers and blue tunics of the infan? try as the old and new guards face each other at ten o'clock, with the Hags unfurled in the center and tho two regimental bands drawn up in Circles playing martial airs. The cus? tomary brilliant sunshine makes tho Used bayonets and unsheathed swords Hash In the air as the various Units carry out the smart military exercis? es. Thousands of civilians, mostly visi tors to Madrid, gather around the pre clncts of the palace to watch the spec tacle. Numbers of them are from th Spanish provinces and their bright shawls and scarves mixed with the more prosaic dress of the Madrllenos form a lit setting to the bright BSC ture. Further details are added by the itinerant vendors of peanuts and hot butter rollg and other delicacies loved by the c hildren, who under the* eye. of their nursemaids In their pic tUreeque costumes of varied hues run hither and thither. Sometimes the king himself comes out on to the balcony to salute his guard and then all is hushed while he fa?es the regimental Hags and after bowing his bead raises his hand to ills kepi. The picture is on view for about ari hour every morning. Heavy. "Whet knocked out that movi? comedian*' Hit by a pic." "Why, he is bombsrded by plea} every day." "1 "His bride threw this.
