CANE MADE OF PAPER.

The Star for Walking Stick.

Raymond Choate, an inmate of the
state prison at Charlestown, Mass. in a
letter to The Star today. advances a new
argument for the conservation of old
newspapers, subject Of general interest
at this time because OF the scarcity of
wood pulp for the manufacture of paper
The convict manufactured from old copies
of The Star a walking stick, which he
forwarded by express, as a proof that
old newspap pers have distinct CONNER
cial value. He says he got the idea of
making the cane from old copies of The
Star after reading an article that rail-
road car wheels have been successfully
manufactured from paper.
Choate, who is to be released in three
months. has made seven or eight canes
from old newspapers, and is selling them
to get enough money to give him a new
start when he leaves prison. The walk
ing stick has a small steel rod inside of
the paper. to retain its shape. the paper
around the rod being cut into discs by a
die, and made solid by high pressure ap-
piled by screws at the ends Of the rod
