DIVORCE SYMPTOM

port of Rev. John L. Sewall of Worces
ter. secretary of the National League
for the Protection of the Family, made
public at the headquarters of the
league mere today.
1T is more than ever evident" says
the report, that divorce is a symptom
rather than a disease. and that dag
nosis is not cure. The failure of many
marriages is due to causes and condi-
lions prior or connected with thei.
making. The last two years have wit
messed encoura ging progress toward
higher standards in the enactment OF
statutes on the subject OF marriage Ii
censes. The importance of full ard
reliable information is being increas-
ingly recognized. There is no dolot
that divorce is still increasing in vol
ume and in its damage to society"

UNITED STATES
CONDUCTS WOOD
WASTE EXCHANGE
Manufacturers Decrease Costs
and Increase Profits by Utiliz-
ing Each Others Scrap Mate
rial-A New Business-Aid
Government Service.

Washington, April 2S.-The latest
business-aid service instituted by the
government is a wood waste exchange.
1t enables lumbermen and manufac-
turers in the various wood-using in
dustries to utilize each others vast >
to mutual advantage. aiming to effect
large saving in forest material as
well as in money.
The wood-waste exchange is bein :
conducted by the forest service of the
department of agriculture. Nor :
than forty manufacturers of wooden
articles already have asked to be list
ed as having certain kinds of waste
wood for sale, or as desiring to obtain
their raw material in the rough or in
semi finished form from mill or fac
tory waste.
Twice month the exchange sends
out a circular headed. Opportunities
to Buy Waste" containing the names
and addresses of factories having
waste wood for sale, with exact in
formation as to species. sizes, forms
and quantities. Similarly, another
circular headed, Opportunities to Sell
Waste" gives the specific require
ments Of wood using plants which de-
sire to buy waste material
One Of the first waste problems
solved has been that of a furniture
maker in Michigan who wrote to the
forest service asking how to dispose Of
sugar maple blocks and sticks which
were cut off in the process of furni-
ture making and which he had to sell
merely as fuel. Samples were OBJ
tanned from him and the forest SER
vice then located a scrubbing- brush
manufacturer who used small maple
blocks for brush backs. The result
was that the furniture maker was en-
abled to sell his waste at mucn
higher price than it had brought as
f1rewood, while the brush maker was
enabled to buy brush back material In
suitable sizes at a much lower figure
than it had been costing him to buy
maple lumber and cut it up.
Firms which have been put into
touch with each other through the ex-
change are expected to notify the for
est service when their requirements
have been met; then their names are
removed from the lists. In this way
sveral concerns which early took ad-
vantage Of the plan have dropped off
the lists; but as more and more manu- :
facturers learn Of the wood waste ex :
change the lists are steadily growing.
