specially Of handling them. II is esti-
mated that no less than fifteen car loads,
or about $50 tons, of old automobile
tires are handled in Chicago in a single
day. Figure this at cents a pound, and
you have the enormous sum of $4,000.
As some tires are worth a great deal
more than others, dealers have learnedto
sort out these tires, the best makes bring
ing about six and one-half cents pound
and the lower grades about four and one
half cents a pound. Tires sold in mixed
lots bring to the dealer only about 2sc
hundred in profits, but in thus sorting
them the profit is increased 10 about
cent a pound Thus one dealer alone
handling about 40 tons a day is making
in clear profits about $500.
The humble business of collecting junk,
"the trade of uneonsidered trihes" has
prospered in America more than in all
other countries. We have government
reports as authority that in 1912 the value
of secondary metals exclusive Of gold,
silver, platinum, iron and aluminium thus
recovered was ST, 39S, ,843.
In Boston there is a junk dealer who
has accumulated more than a million
dollars. He was once an immigrant, he
began in the smallest, sort of way, and
climbed rapidly to his present position Of
afluence and success. The leading dealer
in one of the large eastern cities, Provi-
dence, who handles nothing but scrap iron
is worth half million dollars, while there
arc two millionaires in Philadelphia whose
fortunes were made in the Junk business.

the part that is unprofessed.

To the Home.Going Student.

Editor the Missourian: Just few
hours ago and the seasons greetings
were repeated with the hearty fare
wells of the holidays. The students
have gone home for Christmas.
For the last week, we have observed
manifestations of joy in the happy
smile, in the bright eyes and in the
gestures of the hands as someone has
mentioned "going home"
Just think of it, said home-lov-
ing senior. Il am going home, and l
can hardly wait. can't get away un-
til 7:15, because have a class at
O'Clock. Isn't that mean? But | am
going home, going home" She circled
about on the walk as in childish glee
and then FASTENED away to pack her
trunk
The magnetism of the home and the
spirit Of Christmas are so related that
we think not of the one at this sea-
son of the year without thinking of
the other. They are one in our hearts
today, and happiness reigns because
there is brief period of time to spend
in renewing the associations of home
life; to look into trusting mothers
eye once more; to hear the fathers
greeting, "son" or daughter; per-
haps to hear our Christian name
called for the first time in months; to
roam about. unforbidden, from room
to room; to enjoy the confidence
which no others but the loved ones
understand.
Happy, indeed, should be the one

PERHAPS THEY'RE EXTINCT

What has become of the "Spugs"
who sprang into popularity and -four
ished nightly last December and the
one before?
Fathers and mothers and sisters and
brothers and cousins and aunts were
all represented in the great Society
for the Prevention of Useless Giving.
They declaimed loud and long on the
stupidity, not to mention the futility,
of sending a gross of assorted pen
wipers, book-marks, paper-cutters,
sachet bags, ash trays. calendars, pin
cushions, thimble-cases, hat-pins
holders, booklets, blotters and other
things, to your list of 100 best ac-
quaintances.
"Let us cut our list to ten, or even
a half a dozen," quoth they. "and let
the other ninety escape the obliga-
tion Of sending US back a pen-wiper
or hair-pin holder the following year.
Let us give fewer presents and make
them worth while or give the money
saved to the needy. The economic
waste of ordinary Christmas giving
is appalling" according to the
"Spugs."
But now they are gone. Nary a
"Spug" has raised his voice in We
hement protest. Perhaps they are too
busy helping the Armenians. Perhaps
they feel that their mission has been
accomplished. Perhaps-O horrors!

The Open Column
Spilled Milk and Charity.

Editor the Missourian: About 5
o'clock Friday afternoon, a little lad
about 10 or IL years old was hurrying
along on Broadway. hugging a bot
tie of milk in sack in his arms and
trying at the same time to shelter his
hands from the cold wind whipping
along the street. Just as he reached
the corner of Ninth at the Columbia
Drug Store, misery of miseries-the
sack slipped and splashed its contents
on the walk.
It's no use crying over spilled milk,
but the lad hand't seen enough of life
yet to realize it, perhaps; SO, with his
back to the wall, he stood wringing his
hands and crying bitterly, sobbing out
that he had no other dime to get more
milk.
About this time a gentleman who
was passing noticed the plight of the
yongster; then three or four other
men came up, and quicker than it
takes to tell 1t several dimes were in
the boys hand, the tears stopped and
as fine a smile overspread that young
ster's countenance as one would care
to see.
Other coins were offered him, but
the last his benefactors saw he was
racing away for more milk and pro-
testing that he needed no more funds
for its purchase.
The object we have in writing is not
to tell the story of "spilt milk" so
much as to praise the noble generosity
of those big-hearted men who helped
this little boy in his genuine distress.
1t Is noble thing to help a lad, and
this timely help may have far reach
ing effect in this chaps life.
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year to you, gentlemen.
