Manufacturers Are Now Taking
Greater Care of Their By-Products
And Are Utilizing Them.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The waste
wood heap continues to diminish and
pass away.
brushes recently made discovery in
Maine which supplied him with ma
terial exactly suited to his purpose.
He went to the Pine Tree state to buy
wood for the backs of hair brushes
and the handles of shaving brushes,
and CHANGED to visit the yards of a
spool maker who was using white
birch. The spool man took the white
part of the wood only, and was throw
of cords had been burned or dumped
in the lake to be rid, of it,
Were just What he Wanted.
The red hearts were exactly what
the brush maker wanted, and at little
more than the expense of freight he
supplied his factory.
This is typical of the trend of man
ufacturing. Waste of wood is still
great, but it is decreasing. What one
factory cannot use, another turns to
profit. Form erly mills threw away
half the forest-tops left in the woods,
sawdust dumped in streams to pollute
them and destroy fish, slabs burned in
perpetual bonfires, and defective logs
and low grade lumber abandoned as
not worth moving.
BY Products Are Used.
This policy does not generally pre-
vail now. Some mills have put in
machinery to work up their own by
products, others sell their waste to
manufacturers who can use it, as in
the case cited in Maine. The proper
ties and uses of woods are now sub
jects of careful investigation, and the
problem of turning to account the
odds and ends and the by-products is
brought more to the front now than
formerly.
Investigation of Woods.
The United States Forest service
has taken up this study in compre-
hensive and systematic way. Investi-
cations of the woods of particular
states are being conducted, usually IN
cooperation with the states concerned
The plan, when fully carried out, will
include every commercial wood in the
United States, not fewer than 200
species. The properties OF each Will
be investigated, its hardness, tough
ness, elasticity, durability weight, fuel
value, size of tree, regions where
grown, the common names by which it
is known in different localities, and
other matters of this kind. A history
of the woods uses in the past will be
given and an account of present uses;
together with suggestions for a wider
range OF usefulness in the future by
pointing out in what capacities it Will
serve best and be most valuable.

bonus of 500 a grade for each of four
grades taking such pupils.
