GOVERNMENT FACTORY
IS HIGHLY EFFICIENT
.MANCHESTER, England, Aug. 5.—
England's national shell factories act
as a barometer for regulating the
prices paid by the government for
shells turned out in private plants. It
is estimated that they have saved the
treasury many millions of pounds.
In this district there are seventeen
national shell factories. Patriotic en
gineers organized them and they are
operated so skillfully and efficiently
that, despite a steadily Increasing cost
of material and labor, the price first
paid for shells has been reduced by
one-half, and in some cases even
more.
The buildings of one plant cover
fifteen acres. The plant is arranged
for the manufacture throughout of
both high-explosive and shrapnel
shells of large caliber. Since begin
ning operations it has turned out to
date nearly l,ram,non shells. .Most of
the raw steel used in their inanufae
tore came from America, also many
of the factory's machines. Probably
at no factory in the district is muni
tions work carried on at such a high
and sustained rate of speed.
The number of employes exceeds
10,000, of whom a large number are
women, recruited from textile and
linoleum plants.

OF ANCIENTS
DENVER. Aug 5. .1 Walter
Fewkes of this city has issued a
pamphlet through the Smithsonian
Institute on tile various lorms ol
architecture found in the cliff ruins
ot southwestern Colorado and south
eastern Utah. He lias been connected
with tli(‘ development ot the cliff ruins
in these sections for many years He
linds in general that there are live
classes ot towers constructed by the
long forgotten race. Apparently the
cliff dwellers, like other races, devel
oped their buildings from the simple
to the complex, according to his in
y ligations. The plain towers found
in olten among the ruins are the sim
plest I'm ins. They vary both in size
height, some of them being three
: lories. The best examples, says Mr
Fewkes. are found ia the Hovenwee
district, where the buildings are in
a fine state of preservation.
In Yellow Jacket canyon, in south
western Colorado, is found a further
development of the tower. Here the
towers are divided into rooms by
means of stone partitions. They were
not used for habitation but for gath
ering places.
The second class of towers, de
scribed by Mr Fewkes, comprises the
circular buildings surrounded by rec
tangular rooms. This type is the nu
cleus of the pueblo or cliff city The
last type described by Mr. Fewkes Is
the highest form of architecture at
tained by the indtun In the United
States. It is a combination of the
pueblo units and the high tower.
These were falling Into disuse even
before Europeans set foot in the
country, says Mr. Fewkes.
