War Lessons For Peace Times

The editor of System sees some good in the
era of destruction that is marking our day. Gen
eral destruction of life and property in Europe
he believes, has developed the latent talents OF
many men and women, who, as menials. were con-
tent to live out mediocre career.
He believes that thousands have accepted a
fresh point of view and have re-entered the bat
tie of life with new vigor and purpose.
Out of the chaos and turmoil will come a gen
Grafton of men and women, dissatisfied with old
limitations and boundaries, and imbued with a
fighting spirit and decision to conquer despite
every obstacle.
His editorial is worth while reading and
thinking about:
With all that the war has to answer for on the
destructive side, it has had good many construc-
tive effects, too.
1t has shown, for example, that men of middle
age and more can be mighty satisfactory new en-
ployees
1t has shown that women are good workers in
many fields that formerly were barred to them.
It has shown in numberless cases that suppos-
eddy confirmed clerks and subordinates of other
sorts needed only touch of larger responsibility
to develop larger talent.
It has shown that restrictions on output can
be removed without damage to any one, that in
divduals and concerns of all sorts have larger
pacity than was ever suspected, by themselves or
others, and that a world without unemployment
is practical possibility.
Now, cannot believe that there is any vir-
tue in which makes these advantages exclu-
sively it's own. We prefer to believe that when
all the things that need to be done in time of
peace are done, when business takes full advan-
tage of it's peace-time opportunities, there will be
quite as much assurance of steady employment,
quite as much room for Individual development,
as now. 1t is, no doubt, too much to hope that
the will be followed directly by any such per-
lection of peace. But at least it will be harder
for business men, and workers everywhere to be
content within the old limitations And in that
there is promise

The City Judge

Public opinion sometimes is slow in asserting
itself.
1t took several weeks before the citizens Of
Richmond understood what the city judgeship in
volved Now voices are being heard from all
parts of the community demanding the defeat of
a measure that will add 81 200 to municipal ex-
penses without giving the citizens fair return
for the outlay
The Eighth ward has spoken with emphasis.
The concerted action of that political division of
the city made even the warmest supporters of the
measure take notice.
The city council merely advanced the ordin-
ance to third reading at its meeting Monday.
The statement of the president of the board
of public works indicates that he believes the
councilmen might profit tremendously by inter-

New Uses For Paper

Paper is entering into the manufacture of so
many things that few are surprised when they
read of any new application Of it.
The use of paper for the manufacture of car
wheels washtubs, buckets, doorknobs and the in
terror finish of houses is we'll known. The Kan
sas City Times. after an inquiry into the use of
paper, sets out the following articles that are
made of the product many of them surprise to
most of u.s.
The making of paper rugs and carpets is be-
coming big industry in the East. We have long
been familiar with the paper napkin, and the pa
per drinking cup, of which the American people
use 500,000,0O0 q year. five for each person in
this country. The newest article of paper is the
spoon. A new factory in Lynn, Mass. is making
$500 900 paper spoons day. They coming
into use at soda fountains and in ice cream par
Iors, being used once and thrown away.
We have known of paper shoe soles, too, but
now they are talking of paper clothing, and seri-
ously too. At convention OF ITO manufacture
ers of clothing, assembled the other day in Chi
cago from all parts of the country, communica-
ton was read from Joseph Tyrell, President Of
the National Sheep and Wool Bureau, saying it
might be necessary to begin wearing clothing
made partly of paper next year. Wooden cloth
that cost 81 last year costs So and So this year,
and will be S4 and S. next year. Mr.. Tyrell pro-
posed cloth composed of 40 percent paper, some
cotton and little wool. This sort of cloth has
been made as an experiment. and is said to be
soft, durable and good looking. The paper is
spun into thread and mixed with the cotton and
wool.
Paper hats may come next and maybe the
old-fashioned paper collar will come back.
