U. S. WORKERS FORM UNION
One Object Of Organization, II Is Said,
ls to Prove That Government Jobs
Are No Sinecures.

Approximately 5000 workers In the
government service at Washington are
already enrolled In the newly formed
union Of federal employees, and
branches are already being formed In
other cities, according to II. NJ. Nc
Larin, president of the union.
Every cabinet department and every
independent bureau In Uncle Sans
establishment is represented In the new
union. Membership includes all ranks,
from laborers, messengers, and low
paid clerks to chiefs Of important d.
visions and highly trained experts In
scientific bureaus.
"The union is an organization Of
Uncle Sans Understanding en-
ployees for the benefit of the workers
and the service" declares McLarin.
"Above all, the union proposes to make
efficient service In the government rec
ognized by the general public; to
make clear to every citizen that gov
ernment positions are not sinecures,
but responsible opportunities for pub
lie service"

USING WASTE PRODUCT
Uncle Sam Finds Way to Utilize
Discarded Tanbark.
Great Quantity Of Material Formerly
Thrown Away May Replace Rags
In Felt Roofing Industry.

Uncle Sam abhors waste, and his ex.
perts are always busy trying to find
u use for materials that now have no
value.
One of the latest results of this
work has been the development In the
forest products laboratory OF a method
for using waste hemlock tanbark to
partially replace expensive rag stock
In the manufacture of felt roofing. The
tanbark Is now being used commercial
ly by cooperating miAs, according to
an announcement made by the forest
service. 1t Is stated that, In these
mills, from 20 to 80 per cent of the
rags is being replaced by waste bark,
and that the quality of the finished
product is equal to that manufactured
solely from rags. Members Of the
forest service who have been conduct
ing the experiments say that the utili-
zation Of the bark will make 1t possi-
BILE to effect considerable saving in
the manufacture Of felt roofing.
According to the census of 1909, over
Cos, 900 tons of hemlock bark were pro-
duced each year in the United States.
After the tannin is extracted this bark
is used for fuel purposes, for which
1t is said to have q value of 60 cents
per ton.
The extent of the savings rendered
possible by the new methods Is pointed
out by the fact that the roofing mills
Of the United States have total es-
timated annual production of $4,000
tons Of finished roofing of all kinds.
In addition to the use of the bark for
roofing. papers made at the forest
products laboratory on the basis of so
per cent Of waste tanbark, have been
successfully printed on commercial
twelye-color wallpaper printing ma
chine, and give promise Of being en-
tirely satisfactory. Other paper Of
the same makeup has been made into
fiber conduits by commercial manu-
facturer.
Other possible uses Of waste bark
which suggest themselves, say the for
est service paper experts, are the use
of bark mixed with ground wood for
the production Of wall board, or with
sulphite screenings in the manufacture
of car liners. Studies already made
Mt the forest products laboratory in
dicate that 1t may be possible to use
waste hemlock and oak tanbark in
making sheathing paper, carpet liners,
bottle wrappers, deadening felt, and
the like.

BIG SEA THERE ONCE
Western Plains and Rocky Noun
tains Under Water.
Uncle Sans Biologists Re.create In
Imagination Even Forests That
Stood on Sandy Shores.

Uncle Sans biologists have recon-
structed in Imagination the great sea
which they say once covered all the
great western plains and part II not
all of the Rocky Mountain region.
They have conjured up even picture
Of the forest which grew on the sandy
shore of this sea, naming the species Of
trees which grew there.
"A study of the rock beds upturned
along the eastern base Of the noun
tains and of well records and fossilif-
erous rocks farther out on the plains"
says bulletin Of the United States
Geological Survey, "shows that In Gre
taceous time the sea covered the
great plains and the larger part or all
of the Rocky Mountain area, and that
1t remained here so long that the muds
and sands deposited on its bottom
reached a thickness Of more than a
mile In the area now drained by South
Platte River.
"The latest deposits in this sea now
form the Fox Hills sandstone, which
is 800 to 1000 feet thick In northeast
ern Colorado and was evidently laid
down In shallow sea in which there
were strong currents. The Fox Hills
sandstone contains the remains Of ma
rine animals and plants, especially Of
certain seaweed or alga. but land
plants also are found In certain layers
near the top of this formation, though
beneath the highest beds containing
marine fossils. At two localities, 10
to IL miles southwest of Greeley, Colo,
leaves Of land plants are so plentiful
and so well preserved that they must
have grown near where they were
found, so that they indicate the char
acter Of the forest which grew on the
low, sandy shore of the Cretaceous
sea, as well as the approximate posi-
tion of the shore. The land plants
found here include two species Of Sc
quota, now represented by the big
trees and redwood of California, two
yewlike trees, fig, tree related to
the wax myrtle, and tree like the
buckthorn, relative of the black haw,
and also fern, securing rush, ano
other plants"

FIND POTASH IN LAKE MUDS
Uncle Sans Chemists Make lmpor-
tant Discovery In the Salt
Lake Desert,


In the brines and muds of the Sal
duro marsh, a sink In the Salt Lake
desert, about 60 miles west Of the
southwest edge of Great Salt lake.
Uncle Sans chemists have discovered
what 1t is believed will prove to be
a valuable supply Of potash.
Singularly enough the salt crust
left at the surface OF the desert
through the evaporation of the brlnes
contains little more than n trace OF
potash, most Of the potash being con-
fined to the brines and to the muds un-
derlying the salt crust. The success
full extraction Of this potash is a
fascinating as well as most pressing
problem for the chemical engineer. Ac-
cording to the analyses made by the
geological survey, the brines and muds
from the Salduro marsh contain con-
siderable magnesium chloride, as well
as chlorides Of potassium and sodium.
and so are somewhat similar in COM
position to the deposits from which
potash is manufactured In Germany.
Therefore. 1t appears that success In
methods Of manufacturing potash at
the Salduro marsh should prove com.
paratlvely easy. While no extensive
exploratory work has been done by
the survey TO show the area Of the de.
poslt It In believed that the amount Of
potash present In the region, II 1t car
be extracted with commercial success
Ii sufficient to provide q valuable
source Of sulpiy to the country.

TINKHAM'S SIGNATURE

George Holden Tinkham is
bachelor congressman from Boston,
noted for having the most horrible
signature in congress.
When he signs his name 1t sug-
gests the signature Of a careless hen
dashed off hastily in a radish bed.
Only once In his life has Tinkham
written his name In way that made
1t even half legible. That was when
he prepared a sample signature for
the purpose of having a facsimile
made to go on his official envelope.
Tinkham worked for more than an
hour on that. And when he got
through 1t was no more like his regu-
lar handwriting than II he had hired
q stranger to do 1t for him.
Aside from his chirography, Tink-
ham seems to be all, right. There are
persons who claim to be able to read
character from handwriting. Such a
person would put Tinkham down for a

Women are just learning how many
pretty things for the house can be
made Of paper rope. They are weav-
ing baskets and trays, vases, lamps
and lamp shades, jardeniers, and
other things of this easily handled
and inexpensive material. 1t Is sold
at the paper dealers and is nearly al
ways chosen In brown or green or
white. The white can be painted any
color to match decorations or wood
work.
All these things that are fashioned
from paper rope are made over wire
foundations. After a basket or any
other object has been finished, 1t Is
vanished with shellac. This gives 1t
a good finish and adds to Its durabil-
ity.
The basket for toilette articles
(which might be used for almost any
other purpose) which Is shown in the
picture, is made Of white paper rope
and is woven with a proper space on
the foundation left uncovered.
This space Is meant to accommo-
date the narrow satin ribbon In rose
color that is strung through 1t. After

The combination of cloth and fur in
suits never grows tiresome, and this
accounts for the fact, In part, that
furs are soaring In price. Certainly
they are much higher than they were.
and furriers appear to enjoy imparting
to us the bitter truth, when they assure
us that they will never be cheaper. If
you are going to consider fur as a
trimming you must reconcile yourself
to paying d stiff price.
But it Is not so difficult to pay the
price for suit as attractive as that
shown In the picture. Besides, the
skunk fur used on it is one of those
which furriers describe as "hard" and
is very durable. 1t will outlast several
seasons wear. and the likelihood Is
that each year 1t will be worth more
than 1t was the year before.

Care OF Cream.

During the hot days Of spring and
summer the farmer who Is selling
cream to the creamery finds 1t a prob
lem to keep his cream In the proper
condition. However. there are but q
few simple rules which should be fol-
lowed. and which will result in better
cream. First Of all these IL cleanli-
ness. Dirt. remember. carries bad
havors. II the barn or It's surround
ings and cows are dirty, 1t will result
In poor milk; poor milk results in
poor cream; poor cream results in
poor butter. ~.
Immediately after separating, the
cream should be cooled down to- at
lsast SO degrees Fahrenheit. Warm
cream should never be poured upon
cold. an the temperature Of the lot u
raised and bad fiavors may result. 1t
Is essential that the cream be stirred
frequently to insure uniform ripening.
II the cream is left undisturbed, the
tat rises the same way as IL does In
milk. AS q result the cream Is full
OF curd particles, or 1t becomes
"lumpy."
Never put cream in rusty or bat
