CUT-OUTS AND HORNS

The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce has recommended that
in all cars built after January 1, muf-
fier cut-outs shall be eliminated. They
have no mechanical value, the ex-
perts say, and they only encourage
fool drivers to add unnecessarily to
the general din of American life.
It's a fine reform Now if tney'd
only eliminate the squawk- horns, the
public would enjoy comparative
peace.

LEANER GARBAGE

The food administrator has been
taking a garbage census covering SO
cities, with a combined population OF
21,000,000. His object was to discover
whether the recent national move
ment fer the curtailment 9f foo
waste mas been effective. The re-
suits were found highly encourag.n .ng.
So far as may be judged from an
alysis of garbage, household waste in
the United States has fallen off abou
one-third. The reports cover the
month of July, and compare it with
the same month last year. 1t was
found that in all but u of the 50 cit
les the waste had been lessened from
% to 43 per cent The most credit
able showing was maze by San Diego
Cal.
Many cities, like many families,
used to pride themselves on what a
garbage collector aptly terms swell
garbage They do so no more. There
is wholesome rivalry in utilizing, odds
and ends of edible food instead of
throwing them away There is a new
disposition to use up fats, due to the
lesson taught by the European fat
famine. There is developing a COM
mendable sense of shame at letting
food spoil. The clean plate, the eff
ficient ice-box, the warmed-over dish,
the lean garbage can, all have come
into honor.
But we've only started When we
save twice as much as we do now,
We may lay claim to real thrift.

MAYO COUNTRY
 ID THE FRONT

The activities of the Mayo camp again nave assumed their normal aspect, says the Dawson News of March 2. The late cold weather delayed the freighting of the dredge material considerably. However, the company has all the lumber for the hull on the creek, and now is engaged hauling the machinery and iron superstructure,
 The company anticipates no trouble in having everything on Ibe creek as soon as the weather permits Of construction work,
 A small crew of men is engaged on power plant construction.
 It is worthy of notice, and I have no doubt will surprise many of the News readers to konw, that all the lumber going into the con struction of the dredge has been supplied by our local sawmill plants As far as the writer Is aware, 1t Is the only dredge in the Yukon built entinrely of native lumber. The departure opens vast possibilities for the future.
 The Mayo Lake country Is at tractiug unusual attention from Orospectors this winter, caused no doubt by the successful operations of Mir. Cresfield now has formed a company to work his property this summer. He has just completed an elaborate aucomatic dam and new is engaged in other preparatory work incident to ground-slutcing operations. Cresfield's associates are: Colby, Fry and Hollenbeck.
 Joe McCaftery and partner are husily engaged prospecting Ander, son creek, another tributary oi Mayo lake, and 1t is stated they have encouraging prospects.
 Cushman and partner are taking out a winters dump on Ledge creek. After washing up their dump, they intend to continue work ground-sluicing the shallow groounc on the creek. While most of the Mayo Lake creeks were more or less worked by the old timers, still there was very little real pros pect!ng done, and it is believed that to anyone interested in prospecting, there is no ground in the Yukon of fers better opportunities than that in the Mayo Lake country.

FORMER SLAVES WANT
 BIG SUM FROM U. S.

Washington - The supreme coult has been asked to decide whether the federal government shall pay $6S,0OG,OOO to former slaves and their heirs for cotton picked in slavery times. Their claims are presented in an appeal by H. N. Johnson Of Muskogee, Okla, and other former slaves and their heirs and "aIl others similarly sit uated."
 The suit is directed against se- retary McAdoo as custodian of ehe government funds, and recites hat the slaves were held in in- Yolurtary serYitude and forced to sather the Southern states crops. They received no return for their labor, while the government col Iected the s6S,OOO,OOO in taxes on raw cotton
 An accounting for the labor per formed and a pro rata distribution O the money among those entiu- cd to pay for the labor is asked. The District of Columbia courts dismissed the suit.

First Of Printed Books.

Although neither CaXton nor other OF
early printers included any part of the
holy scriptures among their produc-
tons, it is u noteworthy fact that the
Bible was the first printed book in the
world, being, moreover, the master
piece of the illustriOus inventor Of the
art of printing, Johann Gensfeisch Won
Sulzebach, surnamed Zum Gutenberg,
having associated himself with Johann
Faust Of Mentz, produced with his as
sistance, in 1450-55 (the book Is I'M
dated) the famous folio Latin Bible
commonly known as the Mazarin Bible,
the first copy having been discovered
in the library of Cardinal Mazarin.
The expense of this production was so
great that Gutenberg was unable to re-
pay his partner the money that he had
advanced, and was Obliged to resign
to him the whole of his printing estab-
lishment and plant, with which Faust,
in partnership with Peter SchOeffer.
printed the equally famous Mentz Psal-
ter In 1457. By the testimony Of auc-
ton prices these are the two most val
liable books in the world. +

PUTTING ONE OVER ON cow
Japanese Solve Problem by Extensive
Use Of Artificial Milk Derived
From Soy Bean.

The milk problem Is by way of be-
ing solved in japan, where cows are
scarce, by an extensive use of arti-
fetal milk derived from the soy bean.
First, the Japanese soak the beans,
then boil them until the liquid turns
white, when they add sugar and phos-
plate Of potash. The boiling Is re-
sumed until q fluid results very similar
in consistency and appearance to ordi-
nary condensed milk. When water Is
added soy milk Is hardly to be dis
tinguished from fresh cows milk.
In composition also the artificial
milk Is almost like genuine milk. Its
proteins, fats and sugars are in very
nearly the same proportion, although.
of course, they are wholly vegetable in
origin.
Whether the substitute Is equal to
real cows milk as form Of nourish-
ment is not quite clear, for much of
the value of milk as food comes
from the engines or vitamines 1t con-
tains. The japanese, however, declsre
that it serves all the purposes of
cows milk, and that 1t has the advan-
tage of being less liable to infection
when properly and carefully manufac-
tured.-Youth's Companion.
