new USE FOR WASTE
|. HEML0CK TANBARK
Forest Products Laboratory Makes
Important DiscOvery-Felt Roof
ing From Waste.

Washington, October 11.-A method
for using waste hemlock tanbark to
partially replace expensive rag stock
in the manufacture of felt roofing
has been developed at the Forest Pro
ducts Laboratory and is now being
used commercially by cooperating
mills, according to an announcement
made by the Forest Service. 1t is
stated that, in thse mills, from 20 tC
30 per cent of the rags is being re-
placed 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 conducting the experiments
say that the utilization of the bark will
make it possible to effect a consider
able saving in the manufacture of
felt roofing
According to the census of 1909,
over 69S,000 tons of hemlock bark
were produced 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
value of so 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 total es-
timated annual production of 237 900
tons of finished roofing of all kinds,
equal to about 100000 squares
By square" of roofing is meant 100
square feet The utilization of the
it is said, enable the mills to reduce
their manufacturing costs appreciably.
In addition to the use of bark for
roofing, papers made at the Forest
Products Laboratory on the basis o.
80 per cent of waste tanbark, have
mercial twelve-color wallpaper print
ing machine, and give promise of
being entirely satisfactory. Other
paper OF the same makeup has been
made into fiber conduits by a CONNER
cial manufacturer.
Other possible uses of waste bark
which suggest themselves, say the
Forest Service paper experts, are the
use of bark mixed with ground wood
for the production of wall board, or
with sulphite screenings in the manu-
facture of car liners Studies already
made at the Forest Products Labora-
tory indicate that it may be possible
to use waste hemIock and oak tanbark
in making sheathing paper, carpet
liners, bottle wrappers, deading felt
and the like

NORTHWESTERN BATTLES
BEL0IT TO 14-14 TIE
Varsity Elevens Break Even In Fast
Game Staged Here Saturday-Last
Half Ties Score.
HIGHS DEFEAT COLLEGE SECOND

An excellent exhibition of real foot
ball was witnessed by the gridiron
fans, when the Northwestern team
clashed with the Beloit eleven on the
college campus, Saturday afternoon.
Both aggregations are heavy and fast,
and it was a classy exhibition, clos
ing with IA to IA tie.
During the first half, straight foot
ball was the order, both elevens
pounding the line, varying the attack
with end runs. Little open football
was played until the second half,
when both sides opened up with a few
trick plays and the forward pass. The
local varsity boys puzzled the visitors
by the use of the lateral pass, which
they used successfully a number of
times. The regular forward was used
freely by both sides, but the home
eleven's efforts met with the greater
success, netting them their two touch
downs.
Beloit gained their first touchdown
in the first quarter by intercepting
forward, and gathered second tally
in the second quarter by long for
ward pass which left the runner an
open field.
High School VS.. Northwestern Seconds
The Watertown high school eleven
and the Northwestern second team
met in a preliminary engagement 10
the big game. The high school bunch
piled up a total of 19 against 6. The
final score, however, was l to in the
University favor. The high school
team claimed they were being unjust
ly penalized and walked off the field
in the last quarter, foIfeiting the game.
Good work was done by both sides
in every department, and the forward
pass was pulled off with success by
both teams The high school eleven
was the more successful over the
aerial route, having larger number
of players working it. The Univer-
sity depended to large extent on the
