GREAT WASTE IN AMERICA
Fortune Could Be Mase Each Year From Car Oil and Corn
 cohs Wasted.

or the list of materials most gross ly wasted in America each year car oil and corncobs are quite near the head of the column It is estimated that there are 10,249,4e2 car wheels in the United States, counting those on the freight and passenger cars and the locomotives. These require 3C gallons of oil year each on an aver age. making the grand total of 307.- 4s3,860 gallons used to keep running the wheels in this important branch of commerce.
 To soak up this vast amount of oil 51.247,310 pounds of cotton waste are used. In a demonstration of what goes to waste in this manner, SO pounds of oily refuse was subjected to pressure and over seven gallons of good oil was collected. An average of eight gallons of oil squeezed from each 100 pounds of waste means total value of $1.s66,59 in year. which is decidedly worth saving
 Discarded corncobs are another neg lected source of wealth. These can be converted into wood blocks in many forms, the moet valuable of which are lumber, railroad ties and the basis of many kinds Of furniture. The corn crop of last year produced approximately 1,650.000,000 bushels Of co5s. These pressed Into board would yield many million feet of lumber; into tie they would make enough in number 10 supply several thousand milss of railroad
