Four Hundred Tons Of Egg
Shells to Make Kid Gloves

Many people imagine when an arti-
Gle Is cast into the dustbin its days are
ended. This, however. is not SO, for
all the contents Of dust carts are care
fully sorted as they are emptied, any
thing Of value being put aside. Disre-
garding things such as scissors. knives,
ETC.. many corporations are making q
big profit out Of their dust" You
wouldn't think that there would be any
value in eggshells, yet every year as
many Ms 400 tons are required In the
manufacture Of so-called kid gloves,
and also In printed calico. observes the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Corks, too, are a valuable item, for
they sell to manufacturers at the rate
Of 8 cents a pound and in a year no
fewer than $4,000 worth are thrown
away.
Cycles suffer number Of hardships
before they reach an absolute end. Old
tires are bought at quite good price
by manufacturers for the rubber on
them-inner tubes are especially valu-
able and go to make rubber mats and
cheap rubber toys. The frame supplies
short lengths Of tube and the rest Of
the machine is melted down to make
fresh iron article.
