NORWAY IS MAKING
MILLIONAIRES FAST
A correspondent who spent fourteen
months in Christiania and returned
lately, gives a vivid description of the
abnormal conditions in the Norwegian
capital created by the war, in the
Richmond Virginian.
“The conditions in Christiania to
day are very much as they were in
Bucharest before Roumania entered
the war,” the correspondent says.
"Gold flows in streams and fortunes
beyond the dreams of avarice are
made in a few days. Men who six
months or a year ago did not own
the clothing on their backs and hard
ly knew where their next meal would
i come from, now roll in wealth. All
Norway is in the midst of an insane,
fantastic adventure and has but one
thought—to make money and still
more money.
“The ‘goulasch barons,’ as the spec
ulators furnishing foodstuffs and oth
er necessities to the belligerents are
called, are in evidence everywhere.
Their luxurious automobiles make the
streets of the capital unsafe and their
princely steam and motor yachts
cruise in the fjords and bays. Palaces
rivaling those of Paris, London, Ber
lin and Vienna are growing out of the
earth.
“The cafe of the Grand Hotel has
become a kind of annex to the stock
exchange. Day and night the place
is crowded with Norwegians, Danish
and Swedish speculators and agents of
foreign governments. Around the
little tables, loaded with champagne
bottles and delicacies from all parts
of the world, deals amounting to hun
dreds of millions are made daily. Ev
erybody talks in millions.
“That is one side of the medal, but
the other looks different. The cost of
living has become so high in Chris
tiania that not only the poor, but
also the middle classes suffer severe
ly. Money is too plentiful, and has
lost its buying power.
“The result is that the prices of all
foods and other necessaries have risen
so enormously that only the wealthy
can pay them. Rent, food, clothing
and fuel are much cheaper in ‘half
starved’ Germany than in Norway,
although the latter country is at peace
with all the world and piles gold upon
gold.”

NEW "HONOR GANG”
FORMED AT PRISON
Convinced that humane methods can
be employed at the penitentiary with
success, and that they will work for
the reformation of the prisoners, War
den Murphy, of the Oregon state pris
on, announced a few days ago.
Warden Murphy launched his honor
system December 28, with the approv
al of the parole board, and he says
that thus far it has been an absolute,
success. He abolished the armed
guard in the dining room Sunday, and
on that day the prisoners enjoyed their
meals for the first time in the history
of the institution without the pres
ence of a guard armed with a gun.
"I called the men together and ex
plained to them what I would try to
do and asked their help, explaining
to them that without their help as a
body I could do nothing along this
line,” said Warden Murphy today in
announcing his new system. "My idea
is to make the body of prisoners as a
whole responsible for the conduct of
the individuals; that is each man shall
consitute himself a guard over the
conduct of the others. The men as a
whole have organized and call them
selves the Thompson’s honor gang.
When new men are added to their
number, they have a regular initia
tion and go through a few stunts
which I think, will serve, outside of
the amusement feature, as a tie to
bind them together. It is my inten
tion, if the plan works, to enlarge up
on it so that with members of the old
er gang to bind them together, new
gangs can be established.”
Warden Murphy announced some
time ago that he desired to establish
a new cell house for incorrigibles, and
that he wanted to convert one of the
old cell houses into a dormitory for
trusties, and he will present this plan
to the ways and means committee.

COCKTAILS SERVED IN BOTTLES
WITH RUBBER ATTACHMENTS
St. Louis society recently enjoyed
its first “baby party,” with Mrs. Ju
lius S. Walsh, jr., as hostess, at the
St. Louis Country club. Cocktails were
served in small milk bottles, with the
usual rubber attachment which serves
real babies.
About 100 guests of the younger
married and debutante sets were there
iand every type of doll from the
“beautiful blue eyed baby doll” to
sailor boys and Riley’s barefoot boy.
Mrs. Arthur Stickney, known to her
intimates as “Sally” was the bare
foot boy, appearing in raggedy over
alls, braced over her shoulders with
one strap, and her bare feet stuck into
old shoes. Her husband wore a long
“nighty” and a night cap, and was
the pal of Ned Ewing, who wore one
of the foot warmer, pajama type of
night dresses affected by small boys
and girls.
Mrs. Walsh wore a long-waisted
white lace dress, knee length, and a
blue bow in her hair. Others were
rich little girls, or mere play girls in
rompers. Knee length costume was
worn by every one.
A room was fixed up as a bar, but
the “babies” to rdach it were com
pelled to climb a ladder and slide
down a board, and to get out they also
climbed a ladder and slid down a
board—St. Louis Star.
TUNGSTEN.
High-speed tool steel contains from
5 to 17 per cent of tungsten, accord
ing to its quality. If you put a shrap
nel round in a lathe and start to
work it down with a tool of ordinary
steel, you cannot exceed from eight to
ten feet a minute in your cutting
speed because the ordinary tool steel
will fail at high speeds. But if you
substitute a tool of high-speed tung
sten steel the work can be run 90 feet
per minute. The tool will get hot,
showing dull red in daylight, but it
will stand up and cut; and, as machine
shop output and costs are based on
such speeds, the enormous demand for
machine tools and'war material made
high-speed steel almost priceless.
Just when we needed tungsten
most, however, the supply from Ger
many was stopped, and there was a
scurry through the west to increase
our home production which had been
only a few hundred pounds of ore
a year. Today a carload of tungsten
ore—40 tons—is worth at least a hun
dred thousand dollars; and mines are
not only being developed but people
in some sections of the Rocky moun
tain country are scouring the hills,
picking up stray pieces of the ore.—
