An Appeal For The Blind.

They need your help-wont you help
the blind by sending some contribution
to the MARYLAND School for the blind:
Overlea, Maryland? This school since
1853 has been caring for, educating and
making useful the Blind.
To help the blind must appeal to eve
ry-one who is blest with sight-wheth-
err his contribution be small or large.
The needs of the school is imperative
and we wish to reach everone who is
willing to assist the blind. When one
considers the helplessness of those who
have been so unfortunate as to loose
their sight and can be made to realize
how much they are benefited by
the kind of work this school is doing
would seem that no better field for
charitable investment could be found.
Booklet showing what is being done
for the blind will be sent to anyone
writing the Maryland School for the
Blind, Overlea. Met; and visit to the
school is requetesd.

THE BLIND?

New Uses For Old Wood

Asked to comment on the State Wood
Waste Exchange being established by
the Board of Forestry, the State Fores-
ter announced the following plan:
According to Mr.. Besley, one of the
States Assistant Foresters was detail
ed about year ago to make close
and thorough study of conditions af-
fecting all woodusing industries in the
State, and the investigation had not
proceeded far before it was very evil
dent, that the plan, if carried drought
would have large field in which to
work and a task of considerable useful
ness to perform. 1t looked as if the
investigation were particularly timely,
as the lumber business about that time
was at the low ebb caused by the war,
with consequent shutting off of exports
and much curtailment of local trade.
Greater efficiency was being talked
about for many industries, and it SEEM
ed to the Board of Forestry that here
was chance to give real assistance to
the lumber and wood-manufacturi
trades in obtaining it. For waste in
wood was disclosed in practically all OF
the thirty and .smore industrie and
more than three hundred plants inves-
tigated and reported upon.
Some of it was necessary, and much
of it was not, and the Forester made it
the business of his investigation to de-
eide between them, and provide some
| means for better utilization.
Waste in one plant may be raw ma
terial in the next. With full data on
hand, showing the requirements, uses,
and wastes of each, it is intended to
bring the manufactures together in a
mutually beneficial way. The investi
cation has disclosed that ultimately
unused raw material handled annually
in these plants amounts to from 10 to
80 per cent of the entire consumption
of wood in a rough state. Much of
| this waste is more or less necessary
and somewhat of a constant factor but
there is much more which may be sub
stantially reduced through more eff
Gent utilization of raw material. 1t is
with this item of waste, which is now
occurring and which probably always
will occur to certain extent, tina
the Board of Forestry's investigation
has so far principally concerned itself
Waste in the furniture plant may wei
represent merchantable material in the
, brush factory, and it is with such pos
sibilities as these that the investigator

of now wasted material in a majorit.

Mayor House Is Annoyed by Item in
Paper That Employs Him.

Mayor House was plainly "peeTed"
this morning for, according to his YER
sion of the article which appeared in
the paper for which he works. Ibis
confidence was violated by a cub re-
porter"
The mayor is credited with saying
I'VE are going to break the backho
of bootlegging in this city. We will
go the limit. We have our thumbs on
a number of ringleaders, and we will
not leave anything undone to get rid
of the whole bunch. 1t will be the
most thorough cleanup this city has
seen for some time"
When asked regarding the above
statement this morning he said: "All
| have to say at this time is that there
has been entirely too much talking.
We intend to act, then talk"
Regarding the premature publica-
ton of his intentions regarding the
war to be waged on boot leggers he
said: IT simply wanted to tell the
boy what we intended to do so that he
would be informed and could. when
the time came, handle the subject in
tell1gently. I did not think he would
publish an interview at this time for
we dld not want to warn the offenders
in advance"
Just why this spasmotic wave of
reform has swept over city hall at
this time, could not be learned. but

mayor and city attorney, the guns

MAKE PARK OUT OF II
Sentiment in Topeka for Transforms
ton of Fair Grounds.

Transforming the state fair grounds
into public park was discussed to-
day noon at a meeting of the parks
and Fairgrounds committee of the
Commercial club. Members of the
committee described the fair grounds
in its present form as a disgrace to
the heart of n city and a menace to
health.
Letters from Commercial club Sec
retaries and fair association secre-
taries in other cities were read show
ing that fair grounds in most places
are transformed into something useful
during the months they are not used
for fair purposes. 1t was pointed out
that the fair grounds represent $780,
900 or $500, 600 worth of property,
practically useless during most of the
year.
In fact W. w. Webb, president of
the Commercial club, declared that on
account of the condition of the build
ings, which are empty a majority of
the months out of a year, it would
be impossible to insure them if water
hydrantS were not near.
A committee comprising D. o. Coe,
chairman; the Rev. E. W. Spencer
and William Macferran was appointed
to call upon the board of directors of
the state fair and urge that they con-
sent to entering into a contract which
will permit the city to use the grounds
as a park during the time they are
not needed for fair purposes

ISSUE AN ULTIMATUM
Mine Operators Declare Wage Agree
ment Must Be Reached.

Kansas City, May ia virtual ul-
umatum, setting forth that labor diff
fculties in the Kansas and Oklahoma
coal fields must be settled, has been
given by the Southwestern Interstate
Coal Operators association to the rep
resentative of the United Mine Work
ers of America of the states of Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas
and Texas who are here endeaYoring
to formulate a two year wage con-
tract.
An announcement to that effect was
made today by Harry n. Taylor, rep
resenting the operators who declared
the ultimatum meant that the wage
contract conferences with the miners
would not be resumed until the de-
mand had been complied with.
Kansas Is Trouble Seat.
However. the tentative GATE of May
20 has been set for a resumption of
the conference. The labor trouble is
principally in district No. IA. which in
cludeS Kansas. 1t is stated about
$500 men are on a strike in this dis
trict- The Oklahoma difficulty affects
only four entrymen on strike at Hen
ryetta.
The conference between union mem
bers so far, it is understood. has failed
to agree on the demands to be made
upon the operators.
