WILSON PEACE MOVE
IS URGED BY BRYAN
Congress Asked TO Assure Presi-
dent Of It's Support in Any
Effort.

Congress has been urged by former
Secretary of state william Jennings
Bryan to assure the President Of It's
readiness to support him In any effort
he may make to bring about peace In
Europe. Returning from New YORK
after attending the departure Of the
Ford peace party. Mr.. Bryan has Is
sued \ statement setting forth his de-
sire to see Congress act Immediately.
He states that President Wilson offer-
cd his services as a mediator at the
beginning of the war. but that was six
teen months ago, and since that time
more than two million men have been
killed and more than I'VE million men
wounded, while more than $4,000, O00, 900
has been spent" An offer OF mediation
at this time, Mr.. Bryan continues, is
not only amply justified on the ground
OF humanity, but It sis demanded. IL
other reasons are desired, Mr.. Bryan
states, they can be found in the obliga-
ton OF the United States to neutral
nations
,'Our nation not only shares the suf-
feFings of other neutral nations" Mr..
iiryan concludes but the war Is being
nsed as a reason for demanding a
change In our national policy which
lowers our ideals and puts us into a
mad rivalry with Europe In the increase
~ military and naval expenditures. To
he the means Of bringing the war to an
era would not only add to our moral
influence. but " might save the country
billion or more In taxes, and Y would
! also put an end to the manufactured
scares which arc being used to frighten
the public. The other neutral nations
wait on us .......

Father KnIckerbocker's $50 Years.

New York city celebrated last
Thursday the 250th anniversary OF it's
municipal government under a mayor
and board of aldermen.
When Thomas Willett was sworn
in as mayor, with his five aldermen,
on June "a, 1665-the date appearing
as June IA, according to the old cal
endar form, in the early accounts
by the English governor, Richard
Nicolls, the last vestige of Dutch rule
was obliterated.
There was, indeed, one break, but OF
so short duration that it's influence
was negligible. In 1878, while England
and Holland were at war, Captain
Colve, with a small Dutch feet, ap-
peared in the harbor. The English
recognized that the fort was no more
able to resist an attack than 1t was
In the days of Stuyvesant nine years
before, and the Dutch again captured
New York. In less than year, when
the European war ended, 1t was re-
stored to the English.

Safety In Summer Drinks.

On the whole, then. we have reason
to be proud of the progress that has
been made in the production of sum-
mer drinks. Ingredients actually harm
full or even deleterious have been
mostly eliminated. The chief danger
that besets the habitues of the soda
fountain is lack of cleanliness on the
part of the dispenser, especially in the
rinsing of the glasses. With due re-
gard for this and for the tempera-
ture and condition OF his stomach the
thirsty one may face the fountain
without fear and pick out from the
fancy names upon the mirror what
ever seems most enticing at the time.

ALLOW NOTHING TO WASTE
Utilized by the Thrifty People
of France.

What becomes of old sardine boxes.
tomato cans, meat cans, fruit cans,
and cans of all kinds?
In this country they are usually tum-
bled into some waste lot or down by
the side of the road, where they are
left in unsightly heaps.
But the people do better in France.
where nothing is allowed to go to
waste. They gather them up, and
use them-to cut into tin soldiers.
The making of tin soldiers is not an
insignificant or unimportant business,
by any means. There was published
not long ago an item saying that
the manufacture had reached great
artistic excellence" and that "a GER
tain eminent German officer has found
1t possible to represent military OPP
erations on large scale by their
means" He has "thirty-five thousand
tin soldiers" foot soldiers, horsemen,
and artillerymen, with all necessary
equipments, and toy scenery; and with
them he goes through evolutions, and
works out interesting problems Of mil
itary tactics.
In France, too, the old boots and
shoes are collected. and every part is
used over again. The work is most
| ly done by convicts In prisons. They
take the boots and shoes to pieces and
soak them; then the uppers are cut
over into children's shoes; or, If they
are too far gone for that, peculiar
kind of pressed leather Is made by
some chemical action. The nails are
saved and sold, and the scraps go to
the farmers to fertilize the soil.
Who would have thought 1t posi-
BILE to make anything out of old saws?
Yet it is said that many Of the finest
surgical instruments, and some CT
those used by engineers. are manufac-
| tured from the steel that first did duty
In saws. The steel of saws is of the
very best quality and finest temper;
and since It is good in the first place,
1t is always good.
After that It is easy to believe that
there is place in Canada where they
make paper from sawdust. 1t is kind
VI PdROi pulp iOiiO0 Jul IA o. Oot
sheets, for the purpose of sheathing;
that is, for using on buildings before
the olapboards are put on. Wood pulp,
made of poplar and spruce, has long
been used, mixed with the rags in
the paper mills, in the process OF man
ufacture; but 1t is a new thing to
convert sawdust into paper.
Where the largest quantity of lead
pencils is made, the sawdust of the
cedar wood is saved and distilled. "A
valuable oil is extracted, every ounce
of which is sold at good figures"
So an old sardine box, a tomato can.
CASTOR shoe, and rusty pruning
saw may be made over into something
entirely new; and heap of sawdust
and the waste from lead-pencil man
ufactory may furnish employment and
be Of actual use in the world
