Evening star., 1916-11-17

With the fact established that tens of
thousands of dollars are annually spent
in Washington for wrapping paper and
that a large percentage of the big sum
can be saved by practical economy, the
buying public Of the District is max
ing plans whereby it can make known
it's desire that this big item in the
general bill of high cost be materially
reduced.
Merchants throughout the city reported
today that a considerable number of
their customers had already voiced their
desire for wrapping paper economy.
Public Must Decide.
The fact that it is the attitude of the
buying public which must decide the
question was reiterated.
Where the merchants OF the city
stand has not been difficult to establish
They admit frankly that wrapping pa
per is one of the biggest items on their
expense accounts. They point out that
a large amount of wrapping might be
dispensed with. Many of them have al
ready been forced by necessity to cut
the amount consumed materially, and,
in each of a dozen interviews the mat
ter is laid candidly before the public.

To paraphrase the context of their atti-
tude. they say to the buying public,
which they serve, Its up to you"
Economic Plan Adopted.
This status of the merchants of
Washington was summed up this morn
ing by A. Lisner of the Palais Royal
who said:
"Eere at the Palais Royal, We have
already put into practice such minor
wrapping economies as seemed possi
BILE, with the desires Of our customers
taken into account. | feel tnat the
matter is one which the public should
decide, and not the stores. We stand
ready to satisfy any popular demand
for wrapping economy
And that is where the matter rests
today That the merchants are ready
to answer the demand, when once it is
made, has been established.

country the day after Thanksgiving.
With the opening of the seal sale
every state and thousands of cities,
towns and villages will enter a COM
petition to see who will sell the most
seals per capita for the prevention of
tuberculosis in their communities More
than 300.000,000 seals have been dis
tributed for the sale.
The cities, towns and villages have
been divided into ten classes, accord
ing to population, ranging from 500
to 100000 and over. Pennants will
be awarded by the American Red Cross
and the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis

nants will be awarded to states selling

a total Of 29.04. In Rhode Island 229
seals per capita were purchased by the
people of the state, d record sale
In addition to the pennants. a special
honor certificate will be awarded to

Adequate System a Pressing Need.
Need for an adequate pension system
for teachers of the public schools who
have grown old in the service is q
pressing one, according to officials of
the schools. Under the present regu-
!ations teacher may continue in her
position in the schools until she be
hundred years old. unless she is forced
out on charges of inefficiency.
According to one closely in touch
with the school system. f1fty-five teach
ers in the school system today are more
than sixty-two years of age, at which
age under the proposed law. a teacher
may be retired.
All of these teachers are not regarded
as inefficient. but it is an open secret
that many of them are not up to the
mark"
Under present conditions to deprive
these teachers of their positions would
be to throw them out upon the charity
of the world in many cases. This, it
is admitted by those in close touch
with the situation, school officials and
members of the board of education are
reluctant to do. At the same time it
is pointed out, the schools and the tax
payers must suffer through this con-
dition.

MINING INDUSTRY BOOMING

The mining business is more active than for many
years and this is especially true of the industry here in
Oregon The high price of nearly all metals due to the
war the cause of it, for mines that too poor to pay
for operating under the befOrethewar prices can be
made profitable producers now Oregon contains vast
bodies of "copper" both in its eastern portion and along
the Sskiyous and Rogue river mountains.
The Cascades also show some valuable properties at
Bohemia and other points, and even here in Marion
county there are some fine shOwngs. Up the Santiam
and in the Gold Creek district there considerable actv
ity and some fine ore bodies have been uncovered.
Most of these are base carrying large per cenages OF
"copper" lead and zinc and fair value in gold In fact
is the baseness Of these that heretofore kept them
from being worked for the cost with heavy transpOrta
zion charges made their profitable working problem
The advanced price of "copper" lead and zinc gives them
additional values and will result in their being placed
some of them on the list of shippers of concentrates IN
the not very remote future Recently a fine body OF
carbonate has been discovered in one of these
mines and as this ore is worth $100 ton at the railroad
and the demand is unlimited there should be something
doing there sOOn
Coos and Curry counties are wonderfully rich IN base
ores but have never got in the meght because they are
remote from transportation 1t will not be long Until this
is changed and southern Oregon will come into its own
as one of the great permanent mining sections OF the
United States 1t has never been prOspected for any
thing but cold and this either in the pacerS or OF the
free milling class.
Base ores of all kinds have been turned down, as
worthless but this will be changed and prospect holes
now considered worthless will be the source OF many
