Waste Bark RenIaces a.r.

A method Of using waste hemlock
tan bark to replace partially expensive
rag stock in the manufacture of felt
roofing has been developed at the for
est products laboratory at Madison.
WIS.,, and is now being used CONNER
cially by cooperating mills, according
to an announcement made by the for
est service. 1t is stated that in these
mills from 20 to 30 per cent Of the
rags is being replaced by waste bark
and that the quality of the finished
product is equal to that manufactured
solely from rags. Members Of the for
est service who have been conducting
the experiments say that the utiliza-
ton of the bark will make it possible
to effect a considerable saving in the
manufacture of felt roofing.

GOLD FROM FLOOR TO CEILING
Wonderful Accumulation of Yellow
Metal Stored in the Assay Office
at New York.

The New York assay office is now
the most important institution of the
kind in the world. There is more gold
stacked up in boxes and kegs, in bricks
and bars, in bins and bags, than ever
before in the history of the country.
The assay Office, says the New York
World, is the purchasing agent for the
government. Foreign gold, consigned
to banks and trust companies, is
"cashed in" through the assay office.
British SOverelgns, packed in boxes,
are piled as high as the ceiling. Dodg-
ing that golden bulwark, the visitor is
likely to bump into the cases full of
French twenty francs that are piled on
the other side. Turning to reach the
elevator, he skirts a row of gold bars,
packed five ten-thOusand-dOllar bars
to the keg, in sawdust, and stretching
along the wall twice the height of a
man.
All gold, of whatever nature, is melt
ed and refined to a fineness of 999.5.
or finer, and cast into bars of standard
sizes. The value of each bar is ex-
pressed in United States dollars and
cents. Every bar and coin has to stand
the acid test.
There are Is big melting pots at
work on gold exclusively. 1t seems al
most brutal to see the wOrkmen scoop
shoveifuls of gold pieces from metal
boxes and dump them, one after an
other, into a pot until it is full, and
then clap on the lid and wait for them
to stewl

AdmIrer Of "RuffaIn aIlln

Once 1 met Buffalo Bill" on boaro

Someone asked the tall, handsome

"Gen. George A. Custer" was Cody's
reply.

The Move to oct a State Hinbm.

The Move to get a State Highway
Commission for Delaware, which was
launched recently in Wilmington. says
the Milford Chronicle, "was conceived
in the right spirit, and it must be
horn to be a blessing to Delaware.
The strong point is the fact that it is
removed from county or district influ-
ence, and that the financing is pro-
vided for in way which pledges am
Pile and permanent support from the
source which needs we'll built roads
most, automobiles. auto trucks, trac-
tion engines and heavy traffic. There
must be a general understanding of
the problem by all the people. The
proposed act creates a State Highway
Commission to finance, build and to
maintain the State highways-which
may run in any and all directions in
Delaware. 1t will relieve the coun-
ties of maintenance of such roads or
parts of roads as may be taken over
for the State Highway system, and
the roads will be built to outlast the
bonds whi:h may be issued for their
construction. This is the first real
move to get permanent State roads in
Delaware, and those who are working
IN the front of Delaware's best citi-
zenship. in political, in buiness, in
financial and social affairs, and with
a real effort of all the people, a real
era for good roads will start with the
creation by the legislature of this
State Highway Commission. Every
Senator and every Representative
should vote for it. -

Question Of Sentence

After living happily with his wife
for 40 years a man on Long Island be-
gan to treat her with cruelty and when
he was taken into court was adjudged
guilty by the magistrate and sentenced
to attend at least one church service
every Sunday for the period of one
year. Some Of the preaching brethren
will probably want to know whether
or not this sentence is to be regarded
as surely punitive or merely re1orma-
