IftON FOUNDRY IN WAR AREA
How Women of France Are "Doing
Their Bit" to Keep the Wheels
of Industry Moving.
An Interesting narration of opera
tion under unique and difficult condi
tions of an iron foundry in the war
area is given by the correspondent of
a British paper writing from the firing
line In France. He relates: One doea
not see much foundry work out here,
but a few weeks ago I was billeted in
a town near by, and actually saw a
cupola In full blast. I at once got per
mission to have a look aro.upd, and
was grsatly surprised at what I saw.
The foundry was a very primitive af
fair—Just a little jobbing shop—and
was mostly run by French women and
girls, superintended by a few men.
These women were making wofk up to
three or four hundred pounds in
weight, and In a little side shop some
half dozen women were making com
ponent parts of machinery by the
simple method of beddlng-ln. I after
ward saw some of the finished work,
and it would put to shame the work
done by many of our so-called molders
at home. The women work In ordi
nary dress, and work very clean and
exact in both Iron and brass, and also
under shell fire and air raids. In the
shop was a »creat hole where a Gor
man had dropped a bomb the night be
fore, but the women still worked on.—

Reservoir Dam* tn Tunis. _ .
Already the French are looking for
ward to the rapid development of the
province of Tunis In Africa. Accord
ing to a civil engineer who has been
Investigating the matter there are
about 35 localities In that country
where dams could be constructed, with
reserv.oir capacities ranging from, 3,-.
000,000 to 400.000,000 cubic meters, and
water power ranging from 30 to 0,000
horse power of continuous energy. The
engineering difficulties are stated to
he small In comparison with those of
dams already built in Europe and the
United States, and the utilization of
the water for irrigution, electrical
power, and In one case canal naviga
tion Is estimated to furnish a good
margin of profit. The numerous ruins
of Roman dams found In Tunis show
by what methods the country became
"the granary of Rome" under the em
pire antl the ruins of large cities, with
coliseums, bath and temples of great
size standing in what are now. liared
plains. are evidence <>f the success of I
the organized imtlK/ds of Irrigation of I
'hose ancient times.

REMINDER OF PAST DAYS
AuthcrY, Depiction of "Tourist" Printer
Will Be Recognized as Drawn
From Lifs.
Thrilling adventures of the old Jour
neyman printers are contained la
"These Shifting Scenes." by Charles
Rdward Itussell.. These wanderers
roomed from town to town, denounc
ing everything ou'slde of New York as
unlit for consideration, and returning
by way of freight trains once a year
for a visit to tha' Meecn of journalists.
Mr. IlusseC.- describes a typical mem
ber of the guild, oue: "Scotty." •
"This solid and sorry ragamuffin bad
so often escaped violent death that be
was convinced of a destiny to die of
disease and was far more fearful of
drinking contaminated water than of
riding on car trucks. Once as he clung
to the bumpers of a freight car a mad
or Intoxicated brakeman had. flret) five
revolver shots at him and every shot
had clipped or gone through Scotty'a
hat. Whereupon the brakeman. prob
ably convinced that he had seen a
ghost, leaped from the train and was
killed.
"Several times Scotty had been In
train wrecks. Once the car was on
Are and he was pinned down by a pile
of Joist, but two brakemen worked
with frenzied zeal until they freed
him and saved his life; and then pur
sued him down the track pelting hlrn
with coal for stealing a ride.
"His walking experiment was made
In 1874 when business wis depressed
and the country was full of tramps.
He Joined a colony of these and so
great was the terror they inspired that
the farmers used to come every morn
ing with presents of chicken and milk;
but as a matter of fact the tramps
were the most harmless of men. One
had been a clergyman and used to re
prove the others for swearing."
"Tell me some of the things you do
on shipboard." said the Impressionable
young woman.
"Well, ma'am," replied the matter-of
fact tar, "we scrub decks, we polishes
brass, we load coal and—"
"Dear iufc. You don't get,much ro
mance ont of that kind of work, do
you?" ' ' j
"N'o'om. What we gets out of It Is !
mostly our pay and our keep."—Blr- j
