'fOne hundred million pounds OF
garbage was wasted last year in this

could have easily been utilized. But
even In the last year and a half we
have cut down the rate OF waste in
the garbage at least 3 per cent and
the waste OF fats has gone down
practically 80 per cent. And yet we
have much to accomplish along these
lines"

pose of canning centers.

Gradually, however, l began to think
that taking the life Of such beautiful
creature was not so very creditable to
a woman-especiall when we were
recognized as the gentler sex-and so
It was that l resolved never to handle
gun again.
But-when one has the memories OF
pleasant days with the gun revived by
a visit TO an active gun club, and sees
there men and women engaged in
shooting at lifeless targets, the desire
to do likewise is quite irresistible.
Fascinated beyond expectation during
just such visit, how could one help
but be drawn to the sport. Frankly l

back at this experience and the many
