JUNK TURNED TO GOLD.
Waste Copper Saves Navy Depart
ment 100000,

Waste Copper Saves Navy Depart
ment 100000.
The means of effecting an economy Of
$4,000 at one whack was discovered at
the Navy Department yesterday by As
sistant Secretary Franklin ID. Roosevelt
and Paymaster General Cowie.
The saving will be made out of the
junk pile at the New York Navy Yard
Several months ago, the department de-
cided to sort out the scrap metal at the
various navy yards and save what was
valuable. instead Of giving 1t to junk
dealers at few cents a pound. A vast
amount of copper was found, and so it
was decided as an experiment, to in
stall a metal reducing plant at the
New York yard to melt up the copper.
Yesterday a reauisition came through
calling for 100000 pounds of copper, to
cost $50 900. The department was about
to spend the money, when Admiral
Cowie thought he. would see IL the New
York yard had not accumulated enough
copper to help out on this large order.
The yard officials replied over the phone
that they could deliver at once 100000
pounds Of the copper, and 100000 pounds
more If it was wanted.
The requisition for the purchase of
the order of copper in the market was
torn up, and it has been decided that a
similar reduction plant will be installed
at the Norfolk Navy Yard.

CONSUMERS HEAR TALK

That long hours play more impor-

| delinquencies of employed girls and
women, due to the fact that they have
no time for normal pleasure. was the
statement made yesterday at Rauscher's
by Miss Frances Perkins, of New York,
at the second annual meeting of the Con-
sumers' League of the District.
People have said that the economic
| situation is responsible for vice condi-
tons in this country said Miss Perkins.
"but they have forgotten that long
| hours play a large part in the situa-
ton. The minimum wage agitation has
started a movement for better condi-
tons. 1t, however, has lost sight of the
| fact that conditions are mainly due to
| long hours.
employment at monotonous work for
long hours results In an abnormal con-
dition, and causes moral weakening:
When girls employed at such work ana
under such conditions become worn out
and fatigued they are sometimes guilty.
of moral transgressions that they would
never sanction IL healthy and rested.
