CO-OPERATION
BETWEEN U. S.
AND ITALIANS
ROME, Feb. 13 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—The Italo
American economic commission, just
established here, is the result of the
efforts of the late David Lubin, Amer
ican delegate to the International In
stitute of Agriculture, an organization
designed to promote a closer economic
union between Italy and the United
States. Mr. Lubin died in Rome in
January of this year.
This body, organized with the ap
proval and support of the Italian gov
ernment, has for its honorary presi
dents the ministers of commerce, food
and treasury; executive president,
Commendator Dante Ferraris; vice
president, Commendator Ernesto Na
than Guiseppe Paratore; while the ex
ecutive committee consists of a num
ber of leaders in the Italian maritime,
commercial, industrial and agricultural
associations.
The purpose of the new commission
is to further the development of Italy
uo u V/i/imiioi viui i ui uio «*vu»
terranean basin as its market; to pro
mote trade agreements between Italy
and the United States on the basis of
reciprocity; to regulate industrial com
petition between the two countries
and to introduce into Italy new indus- ,
tries financed by Italian and American
capital. The development of the nat
ural resources of Italy and the Italian
colonies, as well as the promotion of
Italian public utilities, will be a spe
cial feature of the work of the com
mission.
A committee of the commission will
shortly visit America to secure origi
nal knowledge on the new methods of
industrial production.

RECOGNITION
AS ENGINEERS

LONDON, Feb. 16 (by mail).— (
Women engineer®, one of the discov- .
eries of the war, have banded together
in the Woman’s Engineering Society,
a trade union, which has decided upon
what the women term a “forward”
movement.
The women, who are doing techni
cal work in government and controlled
factories, as well as In privately
owned institutions, want, among other
things:
Admission to the Amalgamated So
ciety of Engineers, to become mem
bers of institutes of civil engineers,
naval architects, iron and steel and
other bodies now closed to women, to
serve on the boards of universities, .
and to become eligible for technical
branches of the higher civil service.
“Women have no desire to take
men’s places,” is the way they put
their position, “but there will be need
for engineering products throughout
the world, and there will be work for
women as well as for men."
ICE DISAPPEARED
WHERE METEOR FELL
TOWANDA, Penn.,, Feb. 20 (by
mail).—A search for a missing me
teor, conducted by the United States |
Geological Survey, has ended in the
reservoir of the Towanda Water Com
pany. Incidentally it has enabled the
company to account for the sudden
disappearance of its ice crop on the
night of January 22.
On the afternoon of the meteor’s
flight local officials visited the reser- '
voir and decided to cut the eight-inch
crop of ice the next morning. During
the night the meteor landed in the res
ervoir. When workmen went to har
vest the ice it had dwindled to a scant
three inches, due, it is asserted, to
the heat of the meteor warming the
water in the reservoir.
The reservoir will be drained in an
Bifort to find the meteor.
BATHTUB IS
RARE ARTICLE
INARCHANGEL
ARCHANGEL, Jan. 15 (Covespon
dence of the Associated Press).—The
soldier of the American North Russian
expedition misses the American bath
tub and its simplicity and frequency.
He is annoyed at the ceremony and
difficulty one must undergo to obtain
a Russian bath. Only in the homes
of the wealthy, in the cities, and
rarely, if ever, in the villages, is it
possible to find a bath tub or a
shower.
The Russian bath is a steam bath,
in an air-tight room, where water is
thrown on a stove to make steam. The
bather then douses himself with buck
ets of water after perspiring.
Some of the Americans fortunate
enough to be in permanent billets or
barracks built by the engineers have
their own modern shower baths, but
those in the villages patronize the
Russian institution.
In Archangel there are two bath
houses-, each having accommodations
for a hundred or so customers in the
steam room, but there are only two
private rooms with tubs and showers
in the bath houses, and these are
hooked for days in advance by officers
ind soldiers.
One of these private rooms is really
a suite, as elaborate as if it were in
tended to accommodate a guest for a
week, instead of for the brief period
pf a bath.
