SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS

unless the cane was replaced the

So they Sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis-
tress of handicraft at the Industrial

Save the useless wastel That is
the new policy Of progressive metal

United States; and It is based on the
theory that what Is useless today may

Coal screenings, for instance must be

A Pennsylvania coal mining com

vast quantities Of coal have been

considered to be worthless, n coal
ashes and other refuse were dumped
on them. At the present time, how
ever, the very small sizes OF anthra-
cite, down to a sixteenth Of an inch
in diameter, can all be sold proftably;
SO the company is digging out the
culm piles and sitting the old waste
for salable coal.
The managers know It will not be
long before even the hue dust may do
good work under boilers and sell at a
fair figure; therefore the new culm
piles resulting from the present sitting
operations have been carefully
planned to be handy and in good shape
for selling whenever the inventors sue

expended in disposing Of it.
