WASTE BECOMES A HABIT
French Officials Save $4,000 a Year
by Tracing Army
Custom.

Paris.-A wedding out OF unneces-
sary governmental expenses takes
place in the chamber Of deputies every
year when the report of the audit Of
flee is distributed to parliament Usual
ly score or more Of conspicuous
cases in which the public money has
been wasted are selected by a COM
mittee which investigates them.
A member Of the committee on econ
omy spent several hours endeavoring
to find q reason why ammunition was
sent to the front IN zinc-lined cases.
The other members OF the committee
and the minister of munitions were
not able to solve the problem, so two
members Of the committee accom-
panied a box of cartridges from Vim
cennes to the front to ascertain the
reason for the zinc. None was forth
coming, but after numerous fruitless
interviews with army officers the gen.
eral in command of the Fifth army hit
upon the reason. The zinc had been
used for sixty years around ammunition
boxes and no one had ever thought to
take it of.
AS a result an order was issued do
ing away with the zinc lining. AS
the zinc in each box is worth nearly
81 the savings during the war amounts
to almost $l50,O00 year.
