new MATERIAL FOR ROOFING
Process Evolved by Which Waste
Bark Can Be Made to Take Place
Of Expensive Stock.

The forest products laboratory e1-
perts, in their efforts to reduce the
amount of waste in the lumber in
dustry, have long declared that they
have been able to utilize everything
but the bark, just as the pork packer
is said to market everything but the
squeal of the hog, according to
American Forestry.
Now they have even found a way
to use the bark. By a new process
waste bark can be used to partially
replace expensive rag stock in the
manufacture of felt roofing, and is
already being used commercially by
mills cooperating with the labora-
tory experts. The bark thus used is
that remaining after the extraction
of the tannin for leather work, and
the same waste bark has been used
successfully for the making of a
commercial wall paper. Expert
ments now in progress indicate that
the hemlock bark may be used for
sheathing paper, carpet lining, bottle
wrappers and deadening felt.

What 1t Means to Fail to
Appear

Governor manning has issued
the following statement with re-
gard to the penalty for failure or
refuse TO appear for examination
when called by a local beard:
Some people do not seem to
understand fully the provisions
of the selcctive draft act. If
any person, called to appear be-
fore local board for exami-
nation. fail or refuse to do so,
his name IS certified to the dis
trict board. If within the time
allowed he fails or refuses to
appear before the district board;
automatically certified to the
State authorities as one who
has been called for military serv-
ice, and has not been exempted
or d1SCharged.
when so certified, a man IS
in the military service of the
United States, and is subject to
orders from army officials. For
instance, if he is ordered to re.
port to mobilization camp, he
must do so; should he fail, he
will first be marked as absent
without leave, and should this
absence continue for 10 days,
he will be posted as deserter
and so treated. The penalty
for desertion from the army in
time of war is DEATH"

ARTIFICIAL MILK.

A process has been discovered in
England for the manufacture of arti-
fetal milk for human consumption.
1t Is claimed that a wholesale and
inexpensive substitute can be made
from peanuts, soy beans, sugar, wa
ter and the mineral salts found in
milk. The milk so produced, it is
stated, may be condensed and sold
IN tins in the usual way or dried to
a powder and sold in bottles. It NAV
be given a certain percentage of
cream by the addition of coconut or
one Of the other tasteless nut fats.
The residual meals, rejected after
the special factors required have
been taken from them, are mixed,
dried until they contain only 10 per
cent of water, and used as food for
cattle.
AS curiosity, the "milk" thus
produced would be interesting.
Though it is questionable whether it
would prove an acceptable substi-
tute.

NOT MEASURED. BY YEARS.
Foolish Idea That Life Is Made Real
and Full When Century Mark
ls Reached.

There is a certain fascination
about living century "a fascination
that easily leads to falsifcation). J..
The glory of the achievement sheds
luster on the remotest connections,
so that there is always someone to
boast of the feat, and it is one of the
few ways in which any old person
who can last out may bring fame to
posterity, Charles Henry JerEigo,
NJ. D., writes in the Outlook.
"It amt g much at she died,
doc" sobbed one old man at his
mothers bedside. "She was old an
didn't know nothin' no more, an
she had to 60 some time. But jes' to
think five weeks more would ha'
made her hundred Clos't as that,
an then to have all them years O
care 60 for nothin'w
Absurd, of course! As a matter
of fact, there is no special reason for
setting up the century post as a
goal. As Prof. Irving Fisher has
pointed out in his famous "Report
on National Vitality" the most i'm.
portant dimension of life is not
length but breadth. There is little
gain in the burdensome dragging Of
a life that is already spent.

BESTOWED PRAISE ON WOMEN
Distinguished Frenchman Referred In
Complimentary Terms to Their
Work In Military Bureaus.

Some days before leaving the
French ministry of war General
Roques gave out a circular on the
employment of women in the mill
tary bureaus. This has created much
comment in France, but up to this
time has received no notice in Amer
lean papers, even in those that are
favorably inclined to the recognition
of women in many employments
and also favor their right of suf-
frage.
The general says: cat divers times
l have called to your attention the in
terest that is attached to the replac-
ing by women in all employments
where it is possible, military men Ell
ther in the armed or auxiliary serv-
ice. In spite of the inexperience of
the debutantes, their complete igno-
rance of military terminology con-
stituting the chief obstacles to their
employment in the bureaus, the re-
suits, after some few months of trial,
are fully satisfactory. The good will
of these women is everywhere, or
nearly everywhere, praised. Their
application to the work, the fear of
meeting reproaches, their desire to
make good, all these are qualities
that one did not meet in the same
degree among many of the military
men whom they have replaced. In
conclusion, the trial has succeeded
beyond the predictions of the most
optimistic"
