REMOVED, BUT NOT sUBDUED
Police Officer Had to Confess He Had
Not Entirely Put an End to
Girls Racket. -

A pretty flower girl in a Midland
city screamed out her wares in such
a shrill, penetrating voice that the
occupants of the offices around found
it a great annoyance.
"Reminiscences had no effect on
her, and she was SO pretty that the
magistrates could not be induced to
fine hcr. So a certain professional
man, determined to end the nuisance,
offered a liberal reward to the police
officer who succeeded in stopping the
girls noise within a limited time.
A month went by, and then, quite
suddenly, the girl disappeared from
the streets.
Shortly afterward a handsome
young constable entered the profess
sional mans Office and claimed the
reward.
"Tou are quite sure you have per-
manertly rid us of the grip he was
asked.

BIG SEA THERE ONCE
Western Plains and Rocky Noun

Uncle Sans Biologists Re-create In
Imagination Even Forests That
Stood on Sandy Shores.

Uncle Sans biologists have recon-
structed in Imagination the great sea
which they say one covered all the
great western plains and a part if not
all of the Rocky Mountain region.
They have conjured up even a picture
of the forest which grew on the sandy
shore of this sea, naming the species of
trees which grew there.

USING WASTE PRODUCT
Uncle Sam Finds Way to Utilize
Discarded Tanbark
Great Quantity Of Material Formerly
Thrown Away May Replace Rags
In Felt Roofing Industry.

Uncle Sam abhOrs waste, and his ex.
perts are always busy trying to find
a use for materials that now have no
value.
One of the latest results of this
work has been the development in the
forest products laboratory of a method
for using waste hemlock tanbark to
partially replace expensive rag stock
in the manufacture of felt roofing. The
tanbark is 10Y being used commercial
ly by. cooperating minis, according to
an announcement made by the forest
service. 1t is stated that, in these
mills, from 20 to 80 per cent of the
rags is being replaced by waste bark,
and that the quality of the finished
product is equal to that manufactured
solely from rags. Members of the
forest service who have been conduct
ing the experiments say that the utili-
zation of the bark will make it posi-
BILE to effect a considerable saving in
the manufacture Of felt roofing.
According to the census of 1909, rel

duced each year in the United States.
After the tannin is extracted this bark
is used for fuel purposes. for which
it is said to have a value of 60 cents
per ton.
The extent of the savings rendered
possible by the new methods is pointed
out by the fact that the roofing mills
of the United States have a total es-
timated annual production of $4,000
tons Of finished roofing of all kinds.
In addition to the use of the bark for
roofing, papers made at the forest
products laboratory on the basis of 80
per cent of waste tanbark, have been
successfully printed on a commercial
twelve-color wallpaper printing ma
chine, and give promise of. being en-
tirely satisfactory. Other paper Of
the same makeup has been made into
fiber conduits by a commercial a
facturer.
Other possible uses Of waste bark
which suggest themselves, say the for
est service paper experts, are the use
of bark mixed with ground wood for
the production of wall board, or with
sulphite screenings in the manufacture
of car liners. Studies already made
at the forest products laboratory in
dictate that it may be possible to use
waste hemlock and oak tanbark in
making sheathing paper, carpet liners,
bottle dCadening felt. and
the like.

FIND POTASH IN LAKE MUDS
Uncle Sans Chemists Make Impor.
tant Discovery in the Salt
axe Desert

Lake Desert.
In the brines and muds of the Sal
DUO marsh. a sink in the Salt Lake
he>crt, about 60 miles west of the
southwest edge OF Great Salt lake,
Uncle Sans chemists have discovered
what it is believed will prove to be
a valuable supply Of potash.
Slngularly enough the salt crust
left at the surface of the desert
through the evaporation of the brincs
contains little more than a trace Of
potash, most Of the potash being con-
lined to the brines and to the muds I'M
deriving the salt crust. The success
1ul extraction of this potash is a
fascinating rs well as most pressing
problem for the chemical engineer. Ac-
cOrding to. the analyses made by the
geological survey, the brines and muds
from the Salduro marsh contain con-
siderable magnesium chloride, as well
ns chlOrides Of potassium and sodium,
and SO are somewhat similar in COM
position to the deposits from which
potash is manufactured in Germany.
Therefore. 1t appears that success in
methods Of manufacturing potash at
the sslduro marsh should prove COM
pc"ativcly easy. While no extensive
q laboratory work has been done by
the survey to show the ares Of the de-
post it is believed that the amount Of
potash present in the region, if it can
be extracted with commercial success,
u sufficient TO provide valuable
source OF supply to the country.

ground.

II am glad" observed Dalton, SWELL
Ing up.
1T Is your biographies that do the
work." proceeded the manager. "They
are fairly superb, MI. Dalton! In
fact, you are an expert in that line of
literary composition. We have re-
ceived some very handsome compli-
ments from the subjects themselves.
and, what is more practical, liberal
subscriptions for the books. We will
increase your salary twenty-five per
cent and give you a special list of Sc
lected m%illionaires, whom you seem so
capable of handling"
Did Dalton at once increase the pit
lance of Ruth, as duty bound? Not at
ALL The niggardly compensation con-
tinued as before. What was ever more
despicable, vas that Dalton took an.
other young lady twice a week to the
theater and never spent a penny IN
the willing but unsuspicious slave
whose hard labors enabled him to hold
his position.
Then came his Waterloo. He was
again called into the managers office.
In his new work, he was told, his biog-
raphies had scored even larger success.
The company had decided to double
his salary and engage him in writing
up biographies exclusively, the other
investigators to furnish the notes.
There was no evading the issue now
for Dalton. He could not for his life
have written a presentable biography.
He could not deceive his employers
any longer. The young lady Dalton
had been paying attention to had
some means He married her, resigned
his position and eve forgot to pay
Ruth n weeks pay he owed her.
Ruth was hurt at his treatment and
d%isillusioned. She needed that last
five dollars, but managed to get along
without it. Then n day the heavens
opened and she received her reward.
Il was strange how things came about
u n biography OF a prominent citi-
zen, deceased, had attracted the at
tention of his son, who had succeeded
to his business. The house issued con-
siderable literature of their own,
among the same a weekly trade organ.
So attracted was young Cecil Browne
by the construction Of the obituary
biography Of his father, that he asked
Dalton's former employer to send him
the writer.
But Dalton had gone to another city.
By the merest chance he had boosted
to a fellow employee of "the slick
game he was putting over" mention
ing Ruth as his innocent accomplice.
She was located, and acknowledged
her authorship of the biographies.
1t took Ruth some time to get over
the sorrow, the experience at discov-
ering the double dealing, unworthy
character of a man she liked.
There was compensation, however,
in her work, for her new position was
congenial and we'll paid, in the at
tentions of young Cecil Browne, who
recognized in her his true ideal, and
told her so, and Ruth found her hearts
real choice at last.

There's about twenty to do each week.
What's it worth?"

CURED Ruth %pointedly. :
"Well, you see, why, yes, it is-indi-
rectly," lied Dalton. II don't think he
will pay much-perhaps five dollars a
week." .
II would be glad to take the commits
sion," declared Ruth-'that is, if I can
suit him."
'"Oh, I'll vouch for that" said Dali
ton, and looked immensely pleased.
He might well say so! Here were
the facts: AS Dalton had said, someone
was getting up a biographical work,
and had hired him as one of a number
to visit those selected to figure in the
book, interview them and get the main
points in their business career. This
Dalton could do very we'll, but when it
came to writing up the biographies he
was all at sea. This he was required
to do, three to five a day, as part of
his duties as a salaried employee at
thirty dollars per week.
There was no objection to his doing
his writing at home, where he had a
typewriter and could think and take
time, as he put it, and deliver the COM
pleted sketches the next morning at
the Office.
I'm a lucky man, chuckled Dalton,
as he realized how nicely Ruth fitted
into the proposition-trustful loyal
Ruth, who was doing the bulk of the
work for a pittance, work which was
the sustaining feature of Dalton's en-
ployment.
Dalton brought the notes to Ruth
every evening and called for the TN
ished biographies in the morning.
Many Z time Ruth sat up half the
night to be sure to have them ready in
time. She was interested and consci-
entious in her work, but realized fully
that she was doing It cheap. It was a
help. to Dalton, though, she reasoned,
and this .good-hearted girl was salts
fed.
One morning the manager of the of
ace called in Dalton. The latter, fully
conscious Of putting in really little
time In his labors, expected an exl,io-
MON. He was agreeably surprised.

"Such a habit of thrift, generally

ties, but largely would stop crime and
other social conditions which are q
menace to government" he said.
"All social unrest is the result of

"Few persons realize what thrift
really MEANS" Mr.. Harrison said,
''They consider it miserliness. On tie
contrary it is generosity, for it means
cash and pay-as-you-go plans and true
economy.
Thrift contemplates that the family
may eat porterhouse steaks, which fur,

thrown away before It's full worth may
be realized in hash or soups.
thrift really calls for buying The

Mr.. Harrison also said the thrift
campaign would teach better invest
