THE SHORTAGE
OF PAPER

A conference Of paper manufacture
ers recently issued an appeal to the
public to save old paper, rags, and
other raw material of paper. They
call attention to the great amount
of such material wasted, and de
scribe feelingly the scramble of the
paper makers for the stock needed
to fill orders.
Comparatively few people save pa.
per as they once did. Formerly the
householders had thrifty little &C.
count with the junk man. and the
dickering with him was a part Of
the household routine. Many grown
ups recall how on rainy days as
children, they would be set to sort
ing out white rags from the colored,
one class bringing a better price than
the other. II mixed, they all went
at the low price, which the thrifty
housewife could not stand for. The
few coins gained would look trifiing
and prices kept down.
During recent years the collecting
OF old newspapers has been under.
taken as a money raising scheme in
be half OF churches and other soci.
cites. Many people can be interest.
ed to save paper for this purpose
who would not do II for their own
profit. 1t is popular in the country
where ready money is often scarce,
and church funds come slow.
II Is a very simple matter to file
away old papers in the attic and save
them for the Ladies' Aid Society.
The amount of paper and paper stock
that goes through the average home
is very considerable in these days,
when newspapers, magazines, circu-
lars, and packages come in. The pro.
ceeds may not be large. But to or
ganize such collections for a public
cause does not require any great
amont Of labor.
The net result is conservation
of resources and the removal of
lot Of dust collecting rubbish from
the homes. It Is economically profit.

be said OF all the papers and enter.

No Need For Higher
Tariff After The Val

III the April American Magazine is
an interview with Oscar w. Under.
wood, author Of the present tariff
law:
"The talk OF our needing a higher
tariff to meet after war conditions
has no merit beyond being a political
argument, declares Senator Under.
wood with smiling calmness.
Instead of lower wages in Europe
1t is possible that in many lines OF
industry wages will be higher. Obvl.
ously fewer men will return to their
jobs than left the Jobs to 60 to war
This will tend to boost wages, and
with wages higher there will be less
difference than heretofore in the la.
Dor cost of production here and also
abroad.
Moreover, there will not be the
facilities for manufacturing the goods
for export that there was before the
war. In Belgium, for example, many
factories are entirely destroyed. The
organization is destroyed also.
I'm all the belligerent countries the
great work of restoring thinss to nor
NAL conditions will doubtless require
their chief attention and energy for
a long time. The bulk Of their man.
ufactures will be required for their
own use supplemented by much that
they must obtain from us. The bal.
ance of trade will be in our favor"

Smoke In
Naval Battles
Germans May Use suIphurous vapo:
to Attack the British
Fleet

Two German torpedo beats ran a
British merchantmen into Swedish
territorial water recently and in or.
der to get 1t out again, went near
and enveloped it in sulphurous and
fuliginous cloud Of smoke.
II will be remembered that, in the
action of the Dogger bank, German
torpedo boats in the same way cast
out clouds Of smoke in order to
screen their battle cruisers from our
squadron. 1t appears that the Ger
mans have adopted the defensive de.
vice OF the cutie fish.
But it seems possible that there Is
deeper design in this smoke plan.
The Germans believe in their medium
batteries and If they ever fight a
fleet action would prefer TO fight 1t
at moderate or short range at which
their inferiority Of gun power would
be less detrimental to them. May
they not have devised this means Of
getting In to close quarters and may
It not also assist the approach Of
submarines? II this be the idea,
then 1t would seem that the lee gage
rather than the weather gage will
have to be sought in the battles Of
the future-London Observer.

PERSISTENCE OF THE
SHAkESPEAR PLAYS

The Booth anniversary of William
Shakespeare's death, variously plac.
ed by historians from February 70
to April 90, 1916. is being widely OBJ
served by literary clubs. But few
theaters are celebrating the event by
any Shakesperean revival.
While these plays deal with basic
passions of human nature. and are
as vital today as when written, the
average man likes to see things in a
modern setting He wants war plays,
crime plays, graft plays, political
plays, with 1916 slang and stage bust
ness. All else he classes under the
duh and dreadful word, History.
The great majority of people would
rather see fifteen cheap shows for 10
cents than one good one for 81. so =.
They double up with laughter over
the comedian who twists his face up
in crooked wrinkles, and perpetrates
jokes at least as ancient as the bard
of old Stratford. A real exploration
into the rccesses Of the human soul
seems like too deep water.
Nevertheless, when the college and
high school dramatic associations
search for popular plays, they are
very apt to select Shakespeare, L

OUR FACTORS
FOR DEFENSE

We have in this country all OF the
elements and factors necessary to
secure the national defense, but they
are disorganized. Whatever may he
said regarding the manufacture of
munitions for sale to belligerents It
must be remembered that wars now
and for some time to come are to be
determined chiefly by the use OF am
munition. II Germany should now
re thrown upon the defensive, as
likely, her reliance for one year or
fer FIVE years to come would be
largely upon the efficiency of certain
establishments, chief of which is that
OF the Krupps, at Essen. Our read
crs may be surprised to know that
Mr.. Schwabs immense steel works
al Bethlehem, Pa, have now attained
munitions capacity so per cent
greater than the Krupp works. It
would take the United States gov.
eminent number OF years with the
investment Of staggering sum, to
create munition plants that could ev-
en- begin to supply the need for ar.
tillery and shells in case OF a serious
war. We have scores Of thousands

and pursuits as that OF engineering.
who are ready in time of need to
lend their skill to the service of the
country. We have, then, great ca
pacities in men and industries.
We have large number of institu.
tions which, with some changes OF

best kind of reserve officers. The
states have an immense investment;

that the belt OF our skirt did not sag.
We had to see to 1t that the leather
belt we wore exactly conceded with
the skirt belt. We had to see to 1t
that the ribbon or muslin collar we
wore exactly made connections with
the blouse beneath 1t. Yes, those
were indeed difficult days.

NOISE ON THE
RAILROADS

A writer in the Outlook protests
against needless whistling by rail
road locomotives. He thinks most OF
the engineers are gentlemanly in
this respect. but finds some who ell
Joy celebrating with their big trum'
pet.
There are some persons who enjoy
rousing sleeping persons at night.
As boys they would go through sleep
ing towns yelling 1--WE won't go home
till morning" They regard persons
in their beds at midnight as stupid
and lethargic, who should wake up
and enjoy sporting life. Such youths
grown to manhood sometimes get
control OF a railroad locomotive.
They seem to enjoy rousing the ma
natives, and want the general public
TO perceive and admire their elation
OF spirits. In some towns property
near railroad yards becomes unrent-
able except at low rates.
One OF the discomforts OF night
travel is constant whistling In rail-
road yards. Many people have bad
nights on sleepers from this cause,
who sleep quietly while the train is
rumbling along between stations.
The better people can sleep on the
trains. the more they will take long
journeys. There are many people
who sleep lightly and are easily
aroused at night, after which they
stay awake.
The railroads complain because the
public sentiment often seems hostile.
II they are to make friends, they
must adjust themselves to public
comfort in a hundred ways. Triies
often arouse prejudices and opposi-
ton. Some men will become angry
