WASHINGTON, June 2i.-The
house.ife's dollar has shrunk TO SO
eentsi
So says the United States bu.
reau OF labor statistics In an an
alysls OF the purchasing power OF
a dollar covering the years from
1880 TO date.
In 1890. for instance. the thrifty
housewife could get 81 pounds OF
round steak for her dollar. or one
pound for about IL cents. BY the
end OF 1915. however. her dollar
would buy less than IA pounds OF
round steak. which had gone up"
10 more than % cents a pound.
Il is the same with sirloln. rib
roast, pork chops, smoked bacon.
ham. lard. chickens. eggs. butter.
milk. flour. cornmeal and Irish po-
tatoes Some have not advanced
so sharply in price, but all show a
decided increase.
Back In 1890 dollar would
buy 90 pounds OF pork chops:
by the end Of 1915 the same
dollar would buy only 50 pounds
In 1890 8 pounds OF smoked
bacon could be had for a dol
lar: by 1915 the dollar would
secure only SO pounds.
This period of 26 years does
away with unusual fluctuations in
making comparisons. and enables
the bureau TO estimate the steady
rise in food prices which has taken
place.
One OF the most remarkable OF
these Is the Increases In the price
OF eggs. In 1890 the average retail
price per dozen OF eggs was a 1T.
tie more than 20 cents Thus 4 s
dozen eggs could be bought for a
dollar In 1915 the average price
had advanced to more than 80
cents, or three dozen for one dol.
lar. In December. 1918. eggs sold
at a6 cents.
Returns 20 the bureau from
represe ntatlve retail dealers in
the United States, covering the
principal staple articles OF
food, show that as a whole the
retail price OF food Increased
approximately I per cent be-
tween February IS, 1916, and
March IS, 1915.
Comparing March OF this year
with March five years ago-l9ll-
and all OF the articles OF food in
cluded nj that time were higher
this year than five years ago. with
one potatoes.
Comparing March this year with
March a year ago. rs articles, in
Guiding all meats. show an In
crease. five articles retain the
same average price. and three arti.
close only show decrease. these
latter being wheat flour. cornmeal
and nrunes.
Taking the 20 articles now In.
eluded In the bureaus tabula-

in conversation that she had for the
time forgotten the girls existence.
Charlotte was just trying to decide
whether she would rudely break
through the circle to her chaperon or
turn and fly when a young man who,
she mentally decided, was about as
plain as she was, came up and asked
her to dance. They swung out among
the swaying throng. Presently anOth-

TRUTHFUL CHARLOTTE

Charlotte stood watching the
dancers surge past her. 1t was, like
a kaleidoscope of glistening color,
and somehow she felt she didn't be-
long in the scheme of decorations.
She knew she was not what is called
pretty. Her cheekbones were too
high, and her mouth too large. No
one had ObtrUded the fact on her
that her hair and eyes were good to
look at, and her Smile particularly
fetching, for Charlotte was not con-
ceited, and her mother and elder sis
ter being of the Puritanic type, had
taken pains that she should not be.
AS Charlotte still stood alone look.
ing about the handsomely appointed
room in the home of the wealthy
hostess, the dresses of the guests,
and then back to her modest little
frock, which certainly could not be
called the last cry in modes, she felt
marOOned in a great ocean of gayety.
The girl in all her nineteen years
had never been to anything quite so
grand as this. The festivities of the
little schoolteacher had not extended
beyond the church socialS and small
dances among her few chums. But
Aunt Maude, who had been living in
California for six years, suddenly ap-
peared in their midst, and began re-
newing her acquaintance with many
whom her sister, CharlOtte's mother,
had dropped or been dropped by
when the change in her fortunes had
obliged her to earn her living by TAX
ing bOarders.
Aunt Maude was quite shocked to
find that Charlotte had no real So
ciety," as she called it, and she began
a reform in that direction by seclr-
ing for her niece an invitation to the
Purcell porty, the host being one of
the millionaire automobile manufac-

partner stepped on her foot. He
apologived most profusely, but the
remainder of the dance was some
thing like agony to the girl, though
she would not let him see how much
she was hurt.
When the music stopped she asked
him if he would take her to her aunt.
Let me find you another partner
who won't be-so clumsy as to step on
you, he suggested.

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 method
for using waste hemlock tanbark to
partially replace expensive rag stock
iE the manufacture of felt roofing. The
tanbark is now being used commercial
ly by cooperating miAs, 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 possi-
BILE to effect considerable saving in
the manufacture of felt roofing.
According to the census of 1909, over
sos, 900 tons of hemlock bark were pro-
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 so
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 manu-
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
culphite screenings in the manufa cture
of car liners. Studies already made
at the forest products laboratory in
dicate that it may be possible to use
waste hemlock and oak tanbark in
making sheathing paper, carpet liners,
bottle wrappers, deadening felt, and
the like.
