New Process Used

ise now process not only gives a

The principle innovation in the new
otbod is an endless chain which con-

os, therefore, subject to human
rors.
Tarts to be plated come from the
esses to the plating room where
py are first polished with foft em
r on a leather wheel. They are
wed in a cleansing solution, after
ick they are attached to automatic
nvpyors that carry them through
tank filled with copper plating so
(ion. This copper plating bath con-
iqics 15 minutes and the conveyor
regulated to make one complete
role of the tank in that time.
The parts are then buffed on a
th wheel, cleaned and given n
?ond copper plating to make sure

JS THE Willow pulled Uie trigger
of her rifle, Baree sprang into'
the air. lie felt the force of the
bullet before he heard the report of
the gun. It lifted him off Inn feet,
and then scut him rolling over and
over as if he had been struck a
hideous blow with a club. For a
flash he did not feel pain. Then it
ran through him like a knife of fire,
and with that pain the dog in him rose
above the wolf, and he let out a wild
outcry of puppyish yapping as he
rolled and twisted on the ground.
Pierrot and Nepeese hud stepped
from behind tbe biiisams, the Wil
low's beautiful eyes shining with pride
at the accuracy of her shot. Instantly
she caught her breath. Her browii
fingers clutched at the barrel of her
rifle. The chuckle of satisfaction died
on Pierrot's lips as Baree's cries of
pain filled the forest.
In this humor Buree came, an
hour Inter, out of the heavy timber
of the creek bottom into the more
open spaces of a small plain that
ran along the foot of a ridge. It
was in this plain that Oohooiniscw
hunted. Oohoomisew was a huge
snow owl. He was the patriarch
among all the owls of Pierrot's trap--ping
domain. He was so old that he
was almost blind, and therefore he
never hunted as other owls did. He
did not hide himself in tbe blnck cover
of spruce and balsam tops, or flat
softly through the night, ready in an
:n:-iiant to swoop down upon his prey.
His eyesight was so poor that form
a spruce top he could not have seej.
a rabbit at all, and he might have
mistaken a fox for a mouse.
Even if Baree could have seen
under the dark brush, and had dis
covered Ooohomiscw ready to dart
from his nmbush, it is not likely
that he would have gone very far
aside. His own fighting blood was
up. He, too, was ready for war.
Very distinctly Ooohomisew saw
him at last, coming across the little
open which he was watching. He
squatted down. His feather ruffled
up until he was like a ball. His
almost sightless eyes glowed like two
bluish pools of fire. Ten feet nway,
Baree stopped for a moment and
licked his wound. Ooohoomiscw
waited cautiously. Again Baree, ad
vanced, passing within six feet of the
bush. With a swift bop nnd a sudden
thunder of his powerful wings tiie
grrut owl was upon him.
In the stillness of night there roae
a still greater thunder of wings, and
for a few moments Baree closed his
eyes to keep from being blinded ty
Oohoomisew's furious blows. ' But
he hung on grimly, and aa his teeth
met through the flesh of the old night
pirate's leg, his angry snarl carried
defiance toOohoomisew's eara. Bare
good fortune had given him that grip
on the leg. and Baree knew that tri
umph or defeat depended on his ability
to hold it.
Suddenly Oohoomisew ceaaed his
beating and launched himself upward,
J.ike huge fans his powerful winga
churned the air, and Baree felt him
self lifted suddenly from the earth.
Still be held on and in a moment'
both bird and beast fell backward
with a thud.
Under those wings Bareo'a mind
worked with the swift instinct of the
killer. Suddenly he changed his hold,
burying his fangs into the under part
of Oohoomisew's. body. They sank
into three inches of feathers. Swift
us Baree bad been. Oohoomisew was
equally swift to take advantage of
his opportunity. In an instant he
had swooped upward. There was a
jerk, a rending of feathers from flesh
and Baree waa alone on the field
of battle.
Baree had not killed, but ht had
conquered.
Baree's fight with Oohoomisew was
good medicine for him. It not only
gave him great confidence in himself,
but it also cleared the fever of ugli
ness from his blood. He no longer
snapped and snarled at things as he
went on through the night.
He was still a wanderer pupa
moot no, the Indiana call it. It is
this "'wander spirit' 'that inspires for
a time nearly every creature of tho
wild as soon as it is able to care for
itself nature's scheme, perhaps, for
doing away with too close family
reiUtions and possibly dangerous in
terbreeding. Baree, like the young
wolf seeking new hunting grounds.
or the young fox discovering a new
world, had no reason or method In his
wandering. He was simply "travel
ing" going on. He wanted tome
thing which he could not find. The
wolfnote brought it to him.
The stars and the moon filled Faroe
with a yearning for this something.
The distant Bounds impinged upon
him his great aloneness. And instinct
told him that only by questing could
he find. It wns not so much Kazan
and Gray Wolf that he missed now
not so much motherhood and home
as it wns companionship.
Hare did not travel far that night.
The fact that his wound had come
with dusk, and his fight with Oohoo-
i misew still Inter, filled him with cau
tion. Experience had taught him tnat
the dark shadows and tbe black pits
in the forest were possible ambus-
afraid, as be had once bu, but he
had had fighting enough for a time,
and so he acceoted circumsoection as
the better part of valor and heid
himself aloof from the perils of dark
ness. It was a strange instinct that
made him seek his bed on the top of
a huge rock up which he had some
difficulty in climbing.
Baree's rock, instead of rising for
a Hundred teet or more straight up, '
was possibly as high as a man's head.
U was in the edge of the creek bot
tom, with the spruce forest close at
its back. For many hours be did not
sleep, but lay keenly alert, bis earn
tuned to catch every sound that came
out of the dark world about him.
There was more than curiosity in his
alertness tonight- His education had
broadened immensely in one way: he
had learned that he was a very small
part of this wonderful earth that lay
under the stars and the moon, and
be was keenly alive with the desire
to become better acquainted with it
without any more fighting or hurt.
Tonight he knew what it meant when
he saw now and then gray shadows
flost silently out of the forest inti
the moonlight the owns, monsters of
the breed which he had fought. He
heard the crackling of hoofed feet and
the smashing of heavy bodies in the
underbrush. He heard again the moo
ing of the moose. Voices came to hlra
that he had not heard before the
sharp yap-yap-yap of a fox, the un
earthly laughing cry of a great
northern loon on a lake a half mile
away, floating through miles of forest,
the low, soft croaks of the night
hawks between himself and the stars.
All theae sounds held their new
meaning for Baree. Swiftly he waft
coming into his knoweldge of the
wilderness. IBs eyes gleamed; his
blood thrilled. For many minutes at
a time he scarcely moved. But of all
the sounds that came to him, the
wolf-cry thrilled him most. Again
and again he listened to It. At times
it wns far away, so far that it wni
like a whisper, dying away almost
before It reached him; nnd then again
It would come to him full-throated,
hot with the breath of the ehnse, call
ing him to the red thrill of the hunt
to the wild orgy of torn flesh and
running blood calling, calling calling.

FOOCHOW, March 28. OP) The
Chinese year just closing being tbe ,
"year of the rat" when all evil in
fluences are most potent, recent
months have seen the greatest re
vival of the rites of "puo-do" within
the memory of any man in Foochow.
"Puo-do" are special and most elab-
orate prayers offered for the out
cast dead who are supposed to re
turn and plugue the living when
prayers and offerings are not pres
ented for them.
Every five or ten years villages and
cities in north Fukien observe these
rites for protection against angered
and Injured spirits, but this year, be
ing also the first of a Chinese, cycle
of 60 years, altars have been set up
in scores of places around Foochow
and priests are chanting their pray
era .
Usually from five to SO elaboatnly
decorated altars are erected in temple
or private houses, depending upon
the population of the village or towm

punishment In the hereafter ore giv
en, sometimes by use of puppets in
miniature, sometimes by life-size pa
picrmaehe imnges operated from be
neath tho stage. Huge mounds of
cakes are provided as offerings, us
ually accompanied by fensts for the
living.
The least ornate of then village
celebrations costs some $.riOO and fre
quently the cost mounts to ninny
thousands.
The "puo-do" is said to be a
Fukiennse rite, and the village of
Uong-dnng near Foochow, reputed
to be the original home of the an
cient custom, witnessed a celehrn
tlon lasting seven days. People from

W) ltetter prepared teachers is the
fundamental problem iu present day
education, Pean W. F. Barr of the
college of education. of Drake Uni
versity, declared here recently In urg
ing that the National Education as
sociation take atop to place the pro
icssion on a nigher plane.-
"During the last 25 years there has
been much talk about better prepara
tion ot teachers. Dean Barr said,
"but all the agitation has ended in
talk, juet as many of our great moral
issues bring forth nothing better than
talk.
"The fact la that school people, as
a whole, are afraid to take hold of the
problem of securing legislation defin
ing minimum educational qualifica
tions of teachers.
"To be a lawyer or a doctor, or a
minister In the older churches, one
must have preparation far beyond
anything required fo the certifica
tion of school teachers. Qualifica
tions now involved in our legal re
quirements for getting a certificate
to teach should be written up by some
person with a sense of humor, for
they would be screamingly humorous
if they were not so tragic.
"Iu spite of the fact that we do
not require anything of our teachers
gaily, we have educational organisa
tions talking about minimum salary
laws, the poorly paid teacher, and the
necessity of htiviug a secretary of
education in the president's cabinet
All of which indicates that we are
merely trying to cover up our own
weaknesses.
"Whenever we get down to bed
rock aud demand that we have legis
lation on teachers' qualifications, as
lawyers and doctors have demanded,
and when we, as a group ot educat
ors, can bring ourselves to organise
protests against low qualifications,
aa the medical fraternity has done
in recent years, we shall begin to
gain for oureelvea a respect that we
caunot otherwise hope to have."

By THE NEA PLAY JUIt
JJEW YORK. March SIS. A week
in which only one new play ap
pears ou Broadway and that one
distressingly poor allows space to
talk about the drama in the rest of
the country.
The trouble with drama on the
road, according to the latest of pro'
ducer diagnosticians, is not high
railroad fare, nor the movies, nor the
radio. None of those so much as the
dance erase. Amusement seekers
would rather go to the dance halls
than pay the difference and aee a
play.
But to start on the trouble with
the drama in New York! The new
play is "The Devil Within." It is
one of the few detective, mystery i
plays of the season. A disagreeable
rich man dies before the eyea of the
audience In peculiar fashion at the
end of the first act. Suspicion is
distributed around, and in the end an
unsuspected criminal is revealed.
If this observer had left the thea
ter at any time before the last 15
minutes, however, he could have gone
home without the, slightest curiosity
as to the outcome. This play is
vague, lacking in snap and sparkle,
crudely mechanical. William Inger
soll does the most convincing acting.
The Irish comedy of Dorothy Walters
is a matter for your taste, either
very good or terrible.
e
Following the clean play agitation,
Sam Harris has bought an interest
in the Cherry Lane players' "Logger
heads" and moved it to the Gaiety.
This sugared and sanitary little drama
la an Irish romance In which the per
plexed heroine at last decides to be
come the bride of the church. Gall
Kane, .1 on una Boos, Whit ford Kane
and Barry Macollum handle the prin
cipal roles acceptably.
Clean plays are not so much dis
cussed since the citixens' play jury
plan of the Actors' Kquity got to
operating. Their first verdicts seem
Just. If censorship in any form is
necessary, this plan appears the
most sensible yet proposed,
e
Blame for tbe theater's financial
troubles la placed on the dance hall
by John Cort, the veteran producer
who is InteroHted now principally in
the musical show, "Shina Itnsu." He
estimates that at least 20 per cent
of the crowds at dances would bo pny
Ing money at the box offices If the
cheaper, jnrnler entertainment wero
not the vogue. The dance, he thinks,
has corrnled the young crowd away
from the theater.
"Musical comedy production has he
come the most hnsnrdous gamble In
business," says Cort. Out of every
100. S5 are doomed to failure. Theii
Insurance For All
A bill in the Delaware legislature
seeks to require every auto owner
in the state to provide some form of
Indemnity Insurance for himself,
either through straight Insurance,
bond or some other way.
' Many Cars Stolen
I Throughout the United States more
thnn 100.000 cars are stolen annu
ally. This is more automobiles thnn
owned in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria
nnd Turkey.

loss Is from $75,000 to $100,000
each. Not so long ago if a musical
show failed In New York it could go
on the road and turn In a handsome
profit. Now the glory of the one-
night stand has faded. The big musl-1

eventually to New York, Chicago,
Philadflpliia and Boston, with a few
one-week stands in the larger cities
In between. Traveling attractions
are 75 per cent fewer than five yearn

It Is easy to cite facts on cost of
production which decrease the
strength of musical comedies to com
pete with the local attraction of the
danco halls.
When seats were selling for $2, a
fine production could bo , made for
&10.04K), while today the same pro
duction toiild not be duplicated for
$75,04)0. Then a show could be
routed over the country for as many
as five seasons.' Now It Is hard to
hold iin i5 weeks.
It costs ns much to move from New
York to Buffalo now ns It did to Chi
cago ten years ago. Hauling of
scenery costs $20 a load where it used
to cost $S. Chorus girls get a min
imum of S'15 a week now, as against
a former $1H.
