A PRACTICAL WORK IN CON-
SERVATION.

| 1"eoouiSh oHiNcISity 10 u pidcticdl
institution in a very practical town
1t is devoting big fund to special
lines of scientific research work with
the purpose of determining how to
eliminate waste, how to make the
most of materials, how to get new
by-products from staples already ex.
tensively used.
The Pittsburgh University method OF
handling the work is almost unique
Different colleges and universities all
over the country have been induced to
assign scientific men to study of par
ticular problems. Industrial interests
that have large financial concern with
the outcome of special inquiries have
gladly endowed the work. Twenty
scientists are thus employed on these
investigations at this time, and about
as many more are working along gen.
orally similar lines at the University
of Kansas, the only other institution
that has a like department of in
dustrial research.
The problem of smoke in industrial
centers, for instance, is getting a great
deal of attention. This is not merely
a problem of doing away with the filth
and discomfort of smoke. 1t involves
the public health, and it has to do with
the perfection of combustion. If all
the heat value of fuel were utilized in
the actual production of power it
would not be thrown off in the waste
of gases and smoke. So on the one
hand the smoke nuisance would end,
and on the other the coal bills of the
nation would be vastly reduced. 1t is
declared by those in charge of this
inquiry that great progress is max.
ing, and that before long results of
the greatest value can be announced.
Two scientists are working on the
prosy problems of breadmaking, with
results, it is said, that justify promise
that ordinary bread may one day de-
serve to be called the staff of life; too
often, the scientists say, it would be
more accurately denoted as the staff
of death.
Several people are working on ce-
ment; first, to find more cement ma.
terials; second, to develop more uses
| for it as a substitute for more ex-
pensive building materials, especially
lumber. Petroleum is being studied
by several specialists, with purpose OF
cheapening the processes of refinement
and also of getting more valuable
products out of it, making the gaso.
lene engine more available for big
power plants, and generally increas-
ing the services of this product to the
world. Such subjects as soap making,
glass manufacture, the disposal of
fruit culls so as to get the largest
commercial product from them, are all
in the hands of scientific experimenters,
to whom all necessary means have
been provided.
This certainly seems to be con-
servation movement deserving of the
widest support. The Federal Govern
ment is doing more of this kind OF
work than any educational institution
but there is no danger that too much
effort will be devoted to these at.
tempts to increase wealth by con-
serving materials. 1t is worth while
to remember that good deal less
than 100 years ago anthracite in Penn
syRania was supposed to be worth,
less because it wouldn't barn; and
many years after that petroleum was
used exclusively for treatment OF
colds.

Seventeen Musical
Numbers in Piece.
There are seventeen musical numbers
In Peggy" three or four of which
are tuneful. The others are-well. Just
noise, sometimes noise that IL not even
tuneful enough to serve as an excuse
for its existence.
However, this Is not the fault of the
principals in the play. Dainty Ethel
Green in the role Of Peggy" captures
by reason Of her personality, and the
really delightful manner In which she
in whes Ts she as In the os Of %ns
must be to her a most disappointing
part. Farren Soutar in the part OF
Captain Bendoyle, is possessed of an
musical numbers that rescue him from
total oblivion. Charles Browne Is at
all times funny. possessing a fund Of
droll humor, a pair of nimble legs, and
funny face that ought to bring him
a fortune.
AS the real uncle, John w. Hansons
is excellent. Those who remember his
work In 1.-THE Prince of Pilsen" have
welcomed him warmly in his new role.
There are many feminine roles, in
fact the stage seems to be overcrowded
with pretty girls most Of the time. so
1t is difficult to choose from among
them any one who is better than her
worker: Miss Yorke has in her the
making of an excellent comedian, and
it seems a pity that 1t was deemed
necessary to give her such unattractive
songs as she is compelled to sing In
Peggy"
The piece, with it's color, it's noise, its
gorgeous raiment. its wealth Of waving
Paradise plumes, its lavish display. OF
hosiery, its well-drilled chorus, its i'm
possible plot, which never, by any
stretch Of the imagination could have
happened, probably has its appeal to
those whose tastes lie wholly in the
direction Of musical comedy.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF
ASS'NS is TO BE HELD.

One of the most important meetings
of building and loan association men Of
New Jersey eYer held in this State will
take place at 2 o'clock, Thursday aft
ernoon, In the rooms of the Builders
and Traders Exchange, in Clinton
street, this city.
The occasion will be a regular meet
ing of the executive committee of the
New Jersey State Building and Loan
League, but special efforts have been
put forth to have in attendance repre-
sentatives of cooperative building and
loan associations of every section of
the State. To thai end Invitations
have been sent by George Brown, jr.,
the league secretary, to every one of
the nearly six hundred associations in
New Jersey, asking that delegates be
sent to the gathering in this city just
the same as they would be sent to an
annual meeting of the league. Many
responses have been received and the
Indications are that a large percentage
of the one hundred and fifty associa-
tons of Newark and Essex county and
many of Hudson and other counties
will be represented when Joseph A.
McNamee, of Atlantic City, the league
president, calls the meeting to order.
Addresses on topics of interest and
Importance to building and loan men
generally will be delivered by John G..
Butterfeld, of Jersey City, and by Gill
bert Halves, a New York lawyer, both
of whom are students Of the problems
involved, and probably by Archibald
w. McEwan, secretary of the New
York State League and of the Metro
politan League, and one of the best
Informed building and oar men in the
country. There will also be open dis
cussions of many things of general in
terest, in which all present will be in
,vited to participate.
