ONE RECRUIT ENLISTS AT BRITISH-CANADIAN RALLY Veterans of the Big War Tell Thrill- ing Tales of Modern Warfare. A PBritish-Canadian war and re- cruiting rally was, held at the state armory, Monday evening, with a good attendance, many of which were wWo- men.

The sergeant has taken part in many battles, and was wound- ed 43 places in his lower limbs at one time, so his account of experiences is not unfounded. Clerk F. P. Fenton presided at the rally.

AMERICAN NEEDS FOR ENGLISH CLAY Necessary To Depend Each Upan Large Imports. Year Most of ‘us think clay is something as common and abundant as sand or gravel. Consequently it comes as & surprise to be told by the shipping board committee on mineral imports and exports in Washington, that even in this day of great shortage of ocean going ships we have to import from England every year 200,000 to 250,000 long tons of clay. Last year we im- ported more than 250,000 tons over the ocean. Furlhermo'e a great part of this clay comes over in steamers loaded full and the rest in big stéamers load- ed with clay upto 50 peér cent. and more of their maximum carrying ca- pacity. These ships put into Fowey, England, for their freight. To get this clay on and off the boats re- quires ten days on each cargo. An insignificant percentage of the clay Is shipped as ballast. This represents small dots loaded into big ilners at Liverpool. But it will be seen that the importation of English clay con- sumes an important amount of ship tonnage measured in days time lost because of natural delays incident to the transport of this freight. Why do our manufacturers pay the high freight rates now necessary in order to obtain an article like clay from England? There is, as we all know, an abundance of clay in this country. A great deal of high grade clay is produced here, and of a char- acter suitablg for pottery, porcelains and other articles which require clays of special excellence in their manu- facture. But not much over half of clay of this grade that our industries is domestic. When war broke out in 1914 only a third of it was domestic. We have not been able to develop and equip our deposits fast enough to make these English clay imports un- necessary. In fact it is doubtful whether we will produce as much high grade clay in 1918 as we did in 1917. Our manufacturers want the clay but they can not get anywhere near as much as they want.The reduced out- put is due to railroad and operating conditions and is not related to the character or sale of the deposits whick are capable of large production. Domestic producers do not mine their clay quite as cleanly as their English competitors. Nor is the domestic clay as uniform in character. 1t will not bring the high prices paid for English clay. But more could be sold if it could be produced and carried to its market. Still more could be marketed if cleaner, more uniform clay were produced, for in that event the consumers would use a greater porcentage of domustic and (corre- B Fifty Years of Popularity In Norwich Is Their Record.

However, our own complete depend- ance upon English clay continues. We must rely on English clay as a chief ingredient of the dishes we eat from, the paper in our books and mag- azine, the porcelain in our electric light socket and half a dozen other articies of less general use. Fortunately it is a fact that far less English clay is necessary to proper manufacture of paper than is now useq. Besides domestic clay there are many other substances of do- mestic origin that could be used in the body, not the finish of this paper. Also over half of the English clay we use is consumed in making paper. So that if a shortage of English should develop it would not be highly serious until the shortage became very great, until there was only a half of the normal supply or less available. CONSUMPTION OF FUEL OIL BY RAILROADS IN 1917. Consumption of Fuel Oil by Railroads 1917. The immense increase in railroad traffic due to the active participation of the United States in the war in- creased correspondingly the quantity of petroleum and of petroleum dis- tillates consumed as locomotive fuel in 1917, despite their mounting cost and growing scarcity. Statistics compiled under the super- vision of J. D. Northrop, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, from reports submitted by all railroad companies that vpera- ted ofl-burning locomotives in the United States show that the quantity Twelve of fuel oil consumed by them in 1917 was 45,707,082 barrels a gain of 3- 580,665 barrels, or 8.5 per cent. over 1316 and a larger consumption than in any other year. The total distance covered by oil- burning engines in 1917 was 146,997,- 144 miles, and the average distance covered yer barrel of fuel consumed was 3.2 miles. Oil-burning locome- tives were operated in 1917 over. 32,- 431 miles of track in 21 States. Production of Platinum in the United States in 1917, According to figures compiled by J. M. Hill, of the United States Geologi- cal survey, Department of the Interior, only §05 ounces of crude platinum was sold by placer mines in 1917. This is less than the sales in 1916 by about 100 ounces. The imports of crude platinum amounted to 21,921 ouneces, not counting the 21,000 ounces of Rus- sian_crude platinum which was re- ceived by the-Government late in De- cember. During 1917 refiners made about 33,- 000 ounces of platlinum, 4,800 cunces of palladium, 833 ounces of esmiridium. which can be called “new -uun. Of this amount about 7,400 probobly originated from domme materials. The saving of scrap platinum of Ifl classes resulted in much coveries of secondary piatinum metals than in previous years, a total ot 1,- 000 ounces being recovered, as com- pared with 48,000 ounces in 1918, The Odds. - Senator Sherman praises former Secretary of War Garrison, but & is a thousand to one Sherman would not have voted for Garrison's Conti- nental Army plan.—Buffalo Enquirer. tobaccos drawn into one flavor By the Mecca still-blen passed through twelve the best of each into on: ding process, moist heat, different tobaccos, draws e full, rich flavor.
