NEW YORK, December 1.-THE war
las sent the prices of waste material
soaring to such a height that the coun-

bcrs the process of reclamation here
is akin TO what apparently is being
done in Germany
THE demand for cotton for cxplo-
sivcs and for cotton batting and linters
has resulted In reclamation work in
cotton waste products. which has made
II possible to substitute many of these
FOR the standard products" said Mr..
l'irkcnstein. The rcclaiming OF wool.
jute and other hbcrs and materials for
uses not obtaining in the past is going
on steadily.
Certain grades of woollcn rags have
tr!plcd in price since the war began,
and other grades have advanced zoo
TO 800 per cent higher than 1914.
Colorcd wool rags arc actually bring
