This is what is called intensive production, and the perfection of modern machin< ery and labor saving devices alone makes it possible. Regarding the wonderful riveting performances we are now daily hear- ing about, this work used to be done by hand with the hammers, but now it is done by a special tool driven by compressed air, and making 1,000 blows per minute, or 60,000 blows Sach hon kL this hammer, easily mani one man, rivets can be driven. home at the rate of eight every minute, What this means to shipbuilding any shipwright will tell you, for there are thousands of steel rivets in a ship's construction.

Here also the cloth is shrunk so that the finished mater- {al will not stretch or sag. The fab- ric is now dried by passing it over heated cylinders and is ready to coated with the dissolved cotton solu- tions that give it the appearance and surface of leather. No pains can be spared in the preparation of these solutions, for on them depend the final success of the surface, and conse- quently the value of the fabric. The cotton is carefully purified to remove all traces of impurities, and is then nitrated by being soaked in mixed ter many washings and careful the nitrated cotton is dissolved in chemicals of different kinds, carefully colored to produce the shade or tint desired. Different characteris- tics in the finished Fabrikoid are ob- tained by careful modifications of the solutions. The cloth is coated with varying amounts of the solutions by being passed through long machines that lay on films of even thickness and uniform quality. Some of the finished fabrics must be exceedingly thin and pliable, and require the use of light cloth and thin coating, while others must be thick and strong and require heavy cloth and thick coating. Proceeds of Embossing. The pyroxylin solution is applied in successive coats until a tough, wear resistant surface is built up. The fab- ric now resembles leather in feel, color and texture and is ready for the graining" which gives it the app ance of leather, This is done by an embossing" process which is the last step in the fabrication of this leather- like material. For the embossing the natural markings of genuine hides are trans- ferred to steel plates and rollers which reproduce them in the most minute detail. The 'plates or rollers are then heated, and by means of en- ormous pressure the natural markings of the hide are transferred to the pyroxylin surface of the fabric. 'The grain is embossed so effectively that it is as permanent as the material it- self. The making of the artificial leather--or Fabrikoid--is now com- pleted. The graining may be an actual duplication of the most elab- orate Moorish leather where two col- or effects are essential, or of the char- acteristic markings of pig skin, alli- ther expensive leather, or purely conventional de- no grain needed for that it is not possible is finished in different an § : i 8 d a final and most marks its last iy ; | t 1] & x els showing the women at their tasks.

Voluntary labor by women is to be honored in every pos- sible way. Belgian relief work, so very de- pendent upon voluntary workers \at first, must not be overlooked and other relief organizations which have ceas- ed to exist at the present time are too valuable a factor in this world strug- gle to be overlooked and are to have be a place in the museum. Women who have performed exceptional service for the Allies and have been decorated by them are to have a niche all to themselves, Even those of us who have become accustomed to women in unhéard-of occupations will . feel a thrill of pride on seeing the complete record in this museum of women in ship-yards, in skilled and unskilled la- bor, civic and government positions, places of trust and danger. Welfare work carried on in all these places will be an interesting comment on the dif- and | ference in the attitude of the Hun and the Allies towards their fellows. The adjustment of the machine to the worker and the various safeguards evolved for each profession will be a striking comment on the attitude of capital and labor, each towards the other. One of the most fascinating and gripping exhibits will be that relating teens and communal kitchens. - fan ° YES! MAGICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS 0° You say to the drug store man, "Give me a small bottle of freezone." This will cost very little but will posi- tively remove every hard or soft corn or-callus from one's feet. , A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness in- stantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be. lifted off with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet: of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin.

The population of France, our ally in this war, was about 89,000,000 when the war broke out. About 7,000,000 able-bodied men were conscripted, 1,- ,000 have since been killed and over 1,000,000 more put out of action. Agricultural production has drop- to nearly one-third. Women, children, old men and crippled sol- diers are struggling to till the fields of France. Horses were also con- scripted for military service and French women hitched themselves to the plows and harrows in place of draught animals. French men are fighting Germans, French women are fighting starvation. Deaths from starvation among the Allies in Europe since the war are estimated at 4,- 790,000, . » Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, Eto.
