FRENCH ARE THRIFTY FOLK
Family, Can Live on the Food That 10
Wasted by One In United
States. !

"a French family can live of OF
what an American family wastes"
says Simon w. Straus, president of
the American Society for Thrift who
has just finished an inquiry on Eu-
ropean economy.
THE principal reason, of course, is
In habit of mind, in way of look
ing upon the relative values of efl-
cient living as compared with ineffl-
cient and wasteful living. One may
be as extravagant with a dollar as
with a million.
THE self-denial Of the French in
food and in other necessities Of living
often Is carried into what I should
consider excess, but there is never
theless thoughtful, intelligent thrift
in the French household which con-
tributes to the happiness and well
being of every member.
1T is that sort Of thrift which I
should like to see cultivated in Amer
lean families-a careful adjustment
according to thought-out plan Of
the domestic budget, so much for rent,

the daughter, the amusement of every
member Of the family, the provision
for emergencies and old age.
When a scheme of expenditure Is
adopted in the French home-and
every French home, it is said, is a
parliament-every item of expenditure
can be made with certain content
ment or even Joy because it is known
to be harmonious relation with the
whole. This makes French amuse-
ments so thoroughly enjoyed because
there is no feeling of extravaganza on
the part of those amusing themselves.
They take their amusements and what
might be to the observer indulgences
happily and without inward sense Of
discomfort and wrongdoing because
these expenses fit into the rational
scale Of living which has been wrought
out earnestly and nationally"

RESCUED FROM WASTE HEAPS
Culm Banks of Pennsylvania Have
Yielded 100000 Tons Of Coal
Since 1890.

An interesting feature Of the pro-
duction Of anthracite coal in Pennsyl-
vania Is the comparatively recent
utilization Of the smaller sizes Of coal
pea, buckwheat, rice and barley
grades-most of which is recovered by
washing, both from the coal as mined
and also from the old abandoned culm
banks.
Since the first washery was con-
structed in 1890 the total recovery OF
useful fuel from the waste heaps or
culm banks has amounted to 49,329.376
long tons. These figures include only
the coal shipped and do not embrace
the washery products sold locally or
used at the collieries.
OF the total production of anthracite
in 1918, 44,000,000 tons consisted Of the
domestic sizes and 100000 tons Of
pea, buckwheat, etc.
AS q matter of fact, pea coal during
the last few years has become an i'm
portant factor In domestic trade, Is
now used largely for household fur
naces, and probably should be includ-
ed among the prepared" sizes. 1t is
no longer sold below the cost Of pro-
duction, like the other smaller sizes.

When you buy an automobile you buy
two kinds of service. First:-T service
given and guaranteed by the Car itself.
Second:-The service given by the maker
and the dealer while the car is in use.
The service the Maxwell car gives is
known. $4,000 satisfied Maxwell owners
have given the car the rough and tumble acid
test of fully eighteen months service. The
Maxwell has shown that it is able to stand
up under the severest use. In cities, over
country roads, through mud and sand and up
the steepest mountains, the 1915 Maxwell
has made good for $4,000 owners.

Buried Alive
In Old Well

Chris Ulrich of Jacksonville, aged
66 years, a pioneer of the Rogue
River valley, was buried alive by a
cave-in of a we'll at his home at the
county seat Wednesday evening
about $50 o'clock, and rescued after
he had been entombed for two hours,
says the Medford Sun. The debris
completely covered the aged man,
and he was pinioned by rocks and
dirt, in ice cold water that reached
to his shoulders. The fact that the
first five feet of the we'll was bricked
saved him from certain death. His
escape was miraculous. Outside OF
the shock and minor bruises his suf-
fered no injury.
Ulrich went down into the well to
remove some buckets that had fallen
into the water. His wife with the
aid of a rope hauled up these arti-
eles. On the return trip he attempt
ed to crawl up by means of the rope
and failed. He then started to climb
up the sides, and thus loosened the

rocks which piled upon him. He
struck feet down, and the cave-in
completely covered him at first. His
wife called for help and a rescue
squad was formed at once.
While the work of extricating
Ulrich was under way, great care was
exercised to prevent second cave
in. The rocks and dirt were wind
lassed to the top. The rescue was
slow, as there was no speedy way to
remove the earth. Two men worked
at the bottom loading the buckets,
Doctors were at the surface to ad-
minister first aid, the extent of his
condition being unknown. Finally
after two hours in his perilous pre-
dicament he was lifted to the top.

forty years. Ulrich is one of the

WahIIChung Has
Chinese Garden

Wah Chung, Ashland's Chinese
merchant, has a nice little garden
patch, where he grows both vegeta-
bles of native variety and vegetables
of Oriental variety.
The other day one of the employees
of the Tidings office was shown over
the patch. Chinese cucumbers grew
in abundance, and some Chinese
string beans. The cucumbers were
found to be of superior flavor than
the ones grown usually here, as the
writer found when he tested some
out at home that evening, Mrs. Wah
Chung having given him several.
The Chinese string beans are va
riety that grow on trellises and are
all the way from one to two and
half feet long, and are free from the
so-called strings, which make the pre-
pairing of the usual bean so hard.
Mrs. Wah Chung says the Chinese
prepare them much the same as we
do. Other Chinese vegetables are
grown in the patch, the names of
which are impossible to tell.

This Years
Fires Greater

1t is thought that this year the
loss by forest fires will probably be
greater than last, owing to the long
period of dry weather and the favor
able conditions for fire. The follow
ing article issued by the forest serv-
ice tells of losses for 1914. The
1915 losses will not be compiled un-
til the first of 1916:
The district forester at Portland
reports that for the season of 1914
there were 1900 fires of all classes
on the national forests of Oregon,
Washington and Alaska. OF this
number 972 we're extinguished by
rangers or guards before any appre-
ciable damage had been done. Each
of the ramaining 39S burned over
ten or more acres.
According to the district forester,
the 1914 weather conditions were
the most favorable to the spread OF
fire since 1910. Had the strong
north and east winds OF 1910 again
prevailed, the season would have
been worse, since the forest cover
was drer. In spite of the extreme
dryness which rendered the forests
like tinder, only about one-fifth as
much timber was killed as in 1910.
The success in keeping the timber
loss to comparatively low figure is
largely due, says the district forester,
to the fact that the service has six
times as much telephone line as in
1910, nearly two and one-half times
as much trail, and many more high
peak lookout stations. In 1910 the
service had but few men who had
ever fought fire to any extent. In
1914 it had veteran fire fighters in
every locality, with well-thought-out
and recorded plans for any fire that
might occur. When fire was re-
ported there was no loss OF time.
Men and supplies were rushing to-
ward it within a few minutes. For
instance, on the Fremont forest last
summer the ranger at Silver Lake
received a telephone message OF a
fire twelve miles away. In accord
ance with a prepared plan, he went
on horseback three-eights of a mile
to Silver Lake, where he collected a
crew of ten men and took them to
the fire in hired automobiles, arriv-
ing there AZ minutes after the fire
was reported to him. This would
have been impossible in 1910.
An analysis of causes shows that
$50 fires were started by railroads or
by others along their rights Of way,
327 by lightning, SO by incendiaries,
1927 by brush burners, 319 by camp
ers, 8 by sawmills, and 275 are
charged to miscellaneous causes.
The report calls attention to the fact
that only the lightning fires are un-
preventable. Every one of the others
is due to thoughtlessness, lack OF
judgment or maliciousness of man.
Many men through city habit uncon-
sciously throw away burning matches
or tobacco, and forest fire often
results. Emphasis is placed on the
fact that the community loses six to
eight dollars in wages on every thou
sand feet of timber destroyed. BY
this fact over one million dollars is
forever lost this district by the
thoughtless acts of its citizens dur
ing the summer of 1914.
