Sawn7iU Waste
May Be Utilized
As Pulp Source

That long leaf pine treated by the
sulphate process and properly handled
will give excellent kraft pulps and
papers, especially the very strong and
very tough, lightweight brown wrap
ping papers. is the conclusion reached
by the department of agriculture after
a series of tests to determine the
woods possibilities as 4 source of
pulp. This conclusion is of signifi.
canoe at this time, because war has
cut off the German supply to this
country. The high specific gravity of
the wood and the resultant high yield
of pulp per cord, says the department
in recently issued bulletin, give long
leaf pine an advantage possessed by
few other commercially important
woods suitable for pulp making.
Tops and Defective Logs Used.

southern mills. Tops and defective
logs left in the woods and small logs
which at present are converted into
lumber with little or no profit would
furnish supply of raw material for
pulp making even greater than that
derived from the mill waste.
The tests were made at the forest
service laboratory and were of two
kinds, those to determine the effect of
varying the cooking conditions in the
sulphate process, and semi-commercial
tests carried on by both the sulphate
and the soda process. The sulphate
process was found to be superior to
the soda, at least so far as long leaf
pine is concerned. In the former
process the pulp can be very much
undercooked and still produce fair
quality of paper, while soda pulp
must be comparatively well cooked be.
fore a good paper can be made from
it. The best sulphate kraft pulps
were obtained with total duration
of cooking of only S.5 hours, against
6 hours for the best soda pulp.
High Grade Kraft Wrapping.
Sulphate kraft pulps of fairly good
strength and toughness can be OBJ
tanned from long leaf pine with yields
as high as 81 per cent or ALTO pounds
of absolutely dry pulp per 100 solid
cubic feet of wood. For the produc
ton Of high grades Of kraft wrappings
the yield of pulp could be approx

THROWS HER TWO SMALL
 SONS INTO RESERVOIR
Milford Woman Then Jumps in After Them But Is
 Rescued.

Milford. Dec. 28.-Mrs. Edward Krause today threw her two small sons into the Milford reservoir and then jumped in after them in an att tempt at suicide. The woman was rescued few moments afterwards but the boys were drowned. Their bodies have not been recovered. Mrs. Krause was arrested and will be examined as to her mental condition. The boys were Sidney, aged six, and Edward, aged five years.
 According to the story told by the woman's husband, she had frequently shown indications of being very jealous and today as she took the little ones from the house made threats of doing away with herself and the children, but he did not pay much attention to the threats.
 Later the woman was seen going down the road in the direction of the reservoir holding the boys close to her.
 On arriving at the reservoir she got over the fence surrounding it with the children, and then taking off their winter coats and hats threw them into the water. After taking her own coat off sheaiumped in after them.
 William H. wiclks rand Charles Embere, passing in wagon saw the i.odies floating in the water. They secured a boat and put out for them. They found Mrs. Krause alive and drew her into the boat. They at- tempted to reach the boys bodies but these sank before they could get to them.
 The water where the bodies sank is about fourteen feet deep.
 Mrs. Krause, who is about 27 years old, after being given medical atten- ton was taken to the New Haven hospital. 35 After her rescue she called hysterically for her children, caying: Where are my little boys?"
 The Krauses lived at one time in Philadelphia and later in Bridgeport. They have been living in Milford for about year.
 When asked the reason for her act she said that she had heard her hus- band had been killed by an automo- bile accident.
