Modern Armies Can No More
Carry on War Without Wood
Than They Can Without Food

ave might as well be without food
as without wood"
This from the German socialist or
gan tells the story of how valuable
from all Its points of development the
tree is to the army Of nation Mt
war.
One of the mysteries of the present
war is the source from which Germany
obtains the nitrocellulose necessary In
the manufacture of smokeless powder
and ordinarily made from cotton. A
well defined belief exists in England
that ut least part of the nitrocellulose
needed by German powder factories Is
being made from wood, the Manufac-
turers' Record states.
Ordinary black powders contain
about 10 parts charcoal, with special
properties, and are made largely from
dogwood, willow and alder. In spite
of the advent of smokeless powder,
enormous quantities of black powder
are still used. 1t is employed in shrap-
mel, also to fill the rings of the time
fuses with which shells are equipped
for which purpose no satisfactory sub
stitute has yet been found. Further
more, 1t is used in most armor pierre
ing shells, which should attain great
penetration before they go off. and for
which the majority of high explosives
would be unsuitable because of their
explosiveness on contact. Another
product of the forest. rosin. is en-
ployed for filling the spaces between
bullets in shrapnel, so that on explo-
sion the missiles will be evenly distrlb-
uted in all directions.
Millions of gunstocks are made from
American walnut. A new rifle is re-
quired monthly for every man at the
front. The development Of trench war
fare. when vast armies of men dig
themselves In on fronts hundreds of
miles long, calls for an amount of tim
ber for trench walls, floors and braces
that 1t Is difficult to estimate.
Germany, fully prepared for Eng
lands embargo, makes soft. absorb
ent surgical cotton from wood cellu-
lose. Two factories in Sweden also
are making this substitute.
Methyl alcohol, the other product be-
sides acetic acid obtained from the de-
structive distillation of hardwoods, has
multitude of uses. 1t is essential
in the manufacture of many medical
preparations. 1t is employed in the
making of aniline dyes. 1t is also the
ground of formaldehyde, for the manu-
facture of which large quantities of
wood alcohol are exported to Europe.

FOUND GEM AFTER 30 YEARS
Diamond ls Discovered In Toe Of Old
Shoe Buried In the Back
Yard.

A diamond lost more than thirty
years ago in her former homestead in
Harwichport, Mass, was recently
found in the toe of an old shoe buried
in the yard, and returned to It's owner,
Mrs. William +. Wilson of Brockton,
says n dispatch from that city to the
Boston Post. The stone is today worth
twice as much as it was at the time 1t
disappeared, being now valued at 5000.
When Mrs. Wilson lost the diamond
all search was unavaillng and she gave
up hope of recovering 1t. She moved
from Harwichport to Brockton and
forgot about the diamond. Robert
Nash, who now occupies the home
stead formerly owned by Mrs. Wilson,
found in the garden an old shoe. In 1t
he found the diamond, whose loss had
been a mystery for more than gen
Grafton. He at once thought of the
former occupants of the house and
communicated with Mrs. Wilson, who
identified the gem.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after q
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw 1t
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect Is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softnesS and luXuriance.
Get % cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it If you will just try a Lit.

the belongings Of another but usual.
ly some unexpected mishap befalls the
borrowed article. This causes a rift
in friendships lutte.
Parents of girls should impress upon
them that they should be too proud to
borrow jewelry, even though they have
none of their own, and too wise to lend
it. It's foolish custom at the best.
The girl who Is jewelry borrower is
ofttimes the terror of her friends. Her
visits keep them in constant fear.
They are reticent about donning their
pretty things when she Is around. She
may not know it, but her companions
are 10th to invite her to affairs. If
one has pretty wrap and the other
a fetching Tam-O'-Shanter cap, u scarf
or a nfuff, they are certain she will
want to borrow while they are new
and fresh, getting the best wear out
of them. She has to be appealed to
many times ere she reluctantly re-
turns them to their owners.
The borrower has no wrongful IN
tent. She simply contracts the habit,
and it spreads from finger ring to
anything and everything that is port
able. There are girls who actually
borrow another girls home to hold u
dance in. Don't lend such girl your
beau unless you don't care whether or
not she keep him for all time.

Lot of Professor Is Hard,
College Survey DiscIoSes.

One of the more prominent eastern
colleges has been conducting survey
of itself. 1t finds the students living
In magnificent dormitories and palatial
fraternity houses, some of which are
heavily endowed, going to classes in
their own automobiles and possessing
more changes of raiment than Samson
lost by his ill-advised bet to the Phil
istine youths.
The survey was pleasant until 1t
looked into the homes of the professors.
There 1t found scholars of Greek and
Latin. profound teachers of physics,
cranking up clothes wringers and put
ting bluing in the family washtubs.
The average pay Of professors In
this particular college is considered
high, but 1t is less than n good bar
tender can command. The unctuous
head waiter at fashionable restau-
rant makes considerably more.
The professor is another "man with
white collar"

Evolution of Envelope.

There are many persons now living
who can remember the days when let
ters went through the mails in the
form of folded sheet of paper sealed
ut one edge, for envelopes were not in
common use until about 1855.
In that year n machine was patented
for producing these now indispensable
covers for epistolary correspondence
machine which, as compared with
hand labor, did the work of five girls.
A better machine was produced in
1862, which performed the work Of
seven girls. Three years later came
the machine with n device for gum
ming the flap Of the envelope, which
did the work of ten girls. Next came
another machine Of American device,
which did the work of 20 girls, and
still largely used. This has n rival In
an invention which gums, prints, folds
and counts the envelopes, and binds
them with paper band in packets Of
25. This machine supplants the Ia.
Dor of 30 girls.
