CLAIMS NEW DISCOVERY IN STEELMAKING Robert McKnight Says Te Will Revolutionize Big Business. PITTSBURGH. Pa., Slay 16.—Robert discoverer of the “McKnight Process," promises to revolutionize the entire steel making industry. Laughed at by steel magnates, the 70j .ar old “radium expert” will build his own mills to prove that steel can be produced in one-third time and one-half cost by the McKnight method. t At leat two operations used in present steel making can be eliminated under the McKnight process, if it succeeds in practice. These are the open hearth and bessemer processes to obtain the proper amount of carbon and to purify the metal. Production of pig iron, essential to the Industry today, and the use of chemicals to separate impurities from ore, would be eliminated. In other words, according to McKnight when he mixes ore. coke, limestone and a catalitic agent, and allows it to burn four hours in a hot air heated blast furnace, be will haTe as good a grade of steel as now obtained by three or four operations requiring eleven to twelve hours. “Not only will there be a tremendous saving in time and money," said McKnight, "but the lives of thousands of steel workers will be safeguarded by doing away with dangerous occupations in the bessemer and open hearth operations. Steel men get old before their time." McKnight said the present method of producing steel pays too much attention to impurities in the ore and not enough to the metal itself. "My process,” said McKnight, “concerns the metal only and pertains to it directly. No blowing or purifying Is ics’essary and there is no secondary result after the first melting, as at present. “Here’s another fault.” When vanadium which is very expensive, is introduce.! into the metal only a trace le found result. Why Is tuls? There must because the law of chemistry teas us that we get everything cut ct the mixture we put in it. “In my process, however, we get back every ounce of vanadium and there Is no waste." McKnight has demonstrated h!s discovery. arrived at after thirty years study of steel making, to scores of prominent Iron and steel men. McKnight says: “They fear they would have to tear down their furnaces and disorganize their business, but that Isn’t so, "he said. “Blast furnaces could be used very satisfactory in making steel by my process, for a time at least. Steel is made in a furnace the walls become saturated with It.” Burglars Get Ham, Cigars and Tobacco Burglars entered C. J. Reeder’s grocery at 410 West McCarty street. Cigars ahd 'icco worth SOO were taken and a ham also was missing.

BOOKNOTES

Margot Asquith would have learned more about the essential American from a book of Irvin S. Cobb s stories than she did from her trip over here. All parte of the country, all types of American characters, the American attitude toward life, not only does be know them but he understands them with sympathy. •Sundry Accounts" is anew book of his rt stories. Jeff, body servant to Judge ! Priest, is here again, and the Judge him-j self of course. There are storks of New 1 York, of the Middle West, of the Southern Stares. Hugh Wiley is the only man who; can be compared with Cobb in his understanding of the colored race, and there are several good stories concerning the colored population of Paducah. Ky. “It Could Hapen Again Tomorrow” ought to give New York State something to think about. Each story has that combination i . -ma. pathos and humor that make up the great humanity of Cobb. “Sundry Acc< infs” is published .by George H. Doran Company, New York, at $2 net. Phyllis Bottoms is the author of "The Kingfisher." Her first novel, written at the age of 16 was accepted on the advice of Andrew Lang. She lives now in Vienna, although she is English. Her career as a writer was interrupted for ten years by illness, but she has recovered her health and taken up her work with renewed energy. Jim ” on. hero in "Kingfisher.” had an inconvenient way of seeing things quite simply, as they were. He could not gloss them over and he didn't try. Looked at simply, Jim’s world, the lowest slum of London, was unprepossessing and the simple principles he learned from It as a boy were the kind that put iron dust into his soul when he was a man. Jim’s career began unpromisingly enough at the age of 14 with a prison term .lie accepted it philosophically just tts he aeepted the books the desperately earnest young minister brought him. as I-.- accepted the long hard days of grinding work on a barge that followed his release. But these things alter one's point of view and when the young minister, recognizing remarkable ability in Jim, entered him In -class preparatory school he was as a being as a man from Mars would have bi-en. lie simply did not see the same world that fche- sons of prosperous England saw. At Oxford, too, his standards were as different frogi those of his issociates as they were from those of his sister Eliza, who hail become a very sucv cssful little thief The story of Jim Barton is the story of a man who bent his world to his will, a powerful and stirring presentation of the cause of lrbor in a moving love story. Published by George ’i. Doran Company, New Y’ork. at net $2. n-re is another novel by P. H. Wodebonse, “Three Men and a Maid.” the perfection of ridk-utonsness. amusing chatter and delightful foolishness. Not only is Mr Wodehouse funny without trying to be, ho actually cannot help It. From the moment when Sam Marlow is meditative'y bitten by Whilemina Bennett’s dog and notices that she is the third prettiest girl he ever saw the book is a series of chuckles, of lines that push to be read aloud. The Chicago -ibune says: “P. G. Wodehouse has tnat delicate Quality of Insouciance that was the charm of Oscar Wiliie .Added te that he has the genius far complicated situations in his plots And they are all so frittering and foolish ■ad wholly amusing. That same quickness of repartee that makes his musical comedies certain hits makes his stories beet sellers.” Mr. Wodehouse is an Englishman, but American made. That is he is an Englishman whom few people knew (he wrote boys' stories for a magazine called the Captain), until he happened to come to America to spend a week, sold eight stories and a musical comedy, became famous and sent for his trunk. Since then he has been amphibious, living partthis dry land and partly in England. recently become an enthusiastic gjlier and divides his spare time between playing golf himself and watching other men play cricket. It is so restful after baseball. One brings one's lunch and spends the day at the game. He has jusr made another hurried trip to this country and Is reported to be at work on anew musical comedy. He has an amazing number of musical comedies to his credit and several novels, among them “Indiscretions of Archie." “The Little Warrior” and “A Damsel in Dis‘ress." “Three Men and a Maid.” published at George H. Daran Compsry, New York, at net, $1.75.

COASTAL CRAFT ADDED TO NAVY Newest Vessels Small, but Very Powerful as Destroyers. WASHINGTON, May 16—The American Navy has just acquired two little war craft which fur concentrated damaging ability are known as the “Davids" in a world of battleship "Goliaths.” Their official designation, however, is coastal motor boats. Developed by the British ns "mystery boats" in the late war they proved th.-oi-seives such venomous little sea fighters that the American Navy has decided to try them out. In appearance they are simply shelllike speed-boats such as thrill devotees of motorboat races every summer. They are built in forty uad fifty-five-foot lengths, the Navy having acquired one of each type. They travel at speeds from thirty to ftiore than forty sea miles an hour. LITTLE BOATS ARE DIFFERENT. These little boats differ from the ordiuary racer, however, in that for general destructiveness under difficult conditions (hey are hard to equal. Their ordinary method of fighting is to dash at their prey in a cloud of spray and when within ! range unleash a torpi d*. This missile Is carried in a trough in the stern and is launched from this position, the boat depending on its own speed to carry it ahead of the torpedo until it ran veer to one side. Usually they only carry one torped*. but can carry several when only slow speed is required. For submarines they can carry depth bombs, which are Himply rolled over the side of the boat as it skims along the surface. In addition to this, they were also used to lay mines in enemy waters during the war, their shallow draft carrying, them safely over the enemy's mine fields. BROUGHT DOWN TWO BATTLE CKUSIERS. During t’ ■ British naval attack on the Bolshevik strongholds in the Baltic in 11*19 the motorboats accounted for at least two Bolshevik battle cruisers and a number of destroyers. This tool: place during the British attack on Cronstadt, when the British motor boats dashed Into the Russian harbor undi r fire, torpedoed the enemy crusiers at anchor and whirled out to sea again. Outside they encountered enemy destroyers, one of which shot up one of the motor boats. Another of the little boats, damaged while In the harbor, was blown up by her commander when he got outside. They did heroic service during the British attack on the German submarine bases at Zeebrugge, where they bombarded the enemy ba'tcries with mortars. Their most deadly enemies were aircraft, which being more speedy wi-re able to cause them some trouble. The launches carri and an assortment of -tna. hine guns for this foe and even beat off attacks from the air. The Navy will try them out as soon ns the fuel allowance permits. STEAL FISHING RODS. Carl Day, 2".07 Northwestern avenue, told the police a thief took four fishing rods from his home. The fishing rods were valued at $5. MURDER BY WHOLESALE.

PREMIER’S WIFE IS ELECTED TO TOWN COUNCIL Mrs. Lloyd George Will Serve Three Years in Political Office. LONDON, May 16.—Dame Margaret Lloyd George, wife of the Premier, baa gone Into politics. At the elections for Lhe Criceleth town council she easily headed the poll. Her brother-in-law, William George, town clerk of Criceleth, superintended the voting and was In charge of the count. For three years now Mrs. Lloyd George will help to make the ward assessments: she will have a voice In the ap pointment of all local officials; she will be expected to attend regularly the meetings of the hospital fire brigade and asylum committees. Such matters as the condition of the local pigsties and the condition of the seashore all will come under her notice. All these matters she will perform thoroughly whenever she is able to leave London. Although she never pretends to be a society woman and never poses as any thing, but what she really is, she remembers, when she gets to her native home, that she Is a Welsh farmer's daughter and throws herself Into the life Criccieth and Its 1,500 people with the greatest zest. The proceeding of the Council are, of course, all carried on in Welsh. No other language Is ever spoken In Criccieth, except to foreigners from England. Mrs. Lloyed George speaks equally well either in Welsh or English. Like her husband, she is bilingual, and Is happy in either language. EIGHTS FOR HUSBAND. It Is only during the past four or five years that she has attempted to speak In public. At the beginning she only attempted to address small semi-social gatherings and she was halting and nervous. But confidence quickly came and at the last election for Parliament she (ought her husband's constituency for him tingle-handed and now addresses audiences of thousands with the ease of a practised orator. She has the pleasing clear musical Welsh speaking voice and ;t carries to all parts of big buildings. Since her husband became chained down to the seat of Government, Mrs. Lyold Seorge has become the most sought-after ipeaker in Wales. In most of her excursions around Criccieth she is accompanied by a tiny Jark-haired girl of seven who haunts the premier’s house and treats him and his slfe hs though they were her grandparents. Actually they are no relation at all. but when the little girl was between two and three she was taken ill ind an immediate operation became neces ary. Mrs. Lloyd George wired to the turnons surgeon. Sir Arbuthnot Lane, to mine from London by special train and operate. The little girl recovered and promptly idopted Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd George. The hree are insepa rutiles and are frequently to lie seen hand-in-hand trudging along the seashore. SPRY AT 67. LINTON.
