, HARRY J. DINGEMAN.

' Among the candidates for - the Cir-
cuit bench, none is more spoken of
than Harry J. Dingeman, our present
Corporation Counsel. Mr. Dinge-
nian's rise has been rapid. He at-
tended the public schools of Detroit,
where he was born, and for a number
of 'years worked as a stenographer,
thereby earning money enough to at-
tend' law school. He soon rose • to
an enviable position and possessed a
large practice. His popularity won
hint the election as alderman of the
Seventeenth Ward. While serving in
the. Common Council, a vacancy oc-
curred in the Corporation Counsel's
office and Mayor Marx, quick to see
that Mr. Dingeman's experience fitted
him for the office, appointed him, in
which capacity he has served for
some years last past.
Mr. Dingeman has handled the
lawsuits for the city, involving thou-
sands of dollars, and has at various
times been opposed by the leaders of
the legal profession. Each day the
fight becomes more interesting and
closer, but friends of Mr. Dingcman
are confident of his victory.

RAILROAD EXECUTIVE IS IN
• SCHOOL BOARD RACE.
Mr. Frank H. Alfred, who is a can-
didate for the six-year term as school
• nsp.ector, in announcing his candi-
dacy, some time ago, made• it clear
that he has never been in politics, does
not intend to enter politics ; nor would
he be a candidate were a salary at-
tached to the office he seeks.

roubles for the Polish kitchens.

MOLYBDENUM IN ARIZONA.
Dripping Springs Copper Company,
a Detroit company, near Mammoth,
Arizona, have opened up a big body
of molybdenum at 100 feet in depth.
M olybdenum is a *rare metal used in
the manufacture of steel armor plate,
etc. Before the European war, Ger-
many controlled the world's output.
Since the war neutral countries have
been scoured for the metal. It was
located in the Province of Quebec,
where one mine is working on ore
running one-half of 1 per cent. It is
reported that the body located in Ari-
zona runs better than 5 per cent. The
metal is worth $2.50 per pound. In
the Canadian mine no other values in
metals are present, while in the Ari-
zona deposit the ore shows 10 per
cent copper and also runs high in
silver.

Insufferable Plight of Refugees in
Nijni Novgorod.
Petrograd.—"The Ranoye Utra" states
that the Petrograd Committee for the
relief of Jewish War Sufferers received
a telegram from Nijni Novgorod de-
scribing the terrible conditions prevail-
ing in the camps of refugees. Owing
to lack of accommodation refugees are

herded in the cold sheds of the public
markets, while more than a 1,000 persons
are crowded together in open sheds of
the railroad station.

The Work of the Soup Kitchen in
Warsaw:
The Hague.—Warsaw has now 24
soup kitchens, some of which give
out meals absolutely free of charge
to those needing it, while the remain-
der make a very moderate charge for
same. During October these kitch-
ens served close to 1,000,000 meals,
while in November 1,035,000 were
given out. Of these some 50 per cent
were given out free of charge, the
rest having been paid for at the 'rate
of 5 and 6 pfenig per meal. The city
administration contributes 50,000 rou-
bles a month toward the maintain-
ence of these_kitchens in addition to
paying for such meals as those kitch-
ens distribute through the city's dis,
tributing stations. . The rest of the
30,000 or 35,000 roubles has to be made
up by the Jewish relief commission.
The Polish kitchens give out about
90 per cent of their meals without any
pay, but their kitchens are kept up
by the city administration entirely.
The request of the Jewish kitchen sec-
tion that the city should make good
the difference of 30,000 roubles a
month, was turned down, although the
same session. of the city administra-
