The Importance Of
Tin In the War

Each day war necessities are educat-
ing the American people to new habits
of thrift. This was pointed out today
by the local manager of the the Stand
ard Oil Company Mr.. R. Fl. Campbell,
when he referred to economies being
made by his company to hely conserve
the supply of tin. Heretofore large guam
titles Of Pearl Oil (kerosene) have been
sold in one and five gallon tin cans, but
this practice is being discouraged to
save tin. The same Pearl Oil heretofore
sold extensively by dealers in tin is ear
ried in bulk and can be purchased from
them at a small money saving as well
as at a saving in tin for the nation s
needs. So important is this matter of tin
conservation that it is the patriotic du-
ty of every American to conserve the
supply as far as possible, and one way
of doing this is to buy kerosene and
like commodities in bulk instead of in
tin cans.

Margaret Mason Writes on

1.-THE GIRL WITHOUT A CHANGED

furniture shops.
1t seems bright lovely new copies of
old pieces are made up in jog lots at
Grand Rapids and then shipped to this
antique shop to go through the process
of ageing. The indignities that these per
fectly good bureaus and tables and high
boys are then subjected to are quite
Boschey in conception. Heavy chains are
dragged back and forth and ground
over their fair smooth surfaces. Scald-
ing water and bottles of ink are upset
on virgin vanished tops and allowed to
stay awhile. This ink treatment is par
tieularly popular with desks and sec
retaries> Blows with hammers and CHS
els are dealt impartially and then the
poor old high boys and low boys and
whatnots are taken out, lined up against
the wall and shot. Yes, peppered with
bird shot so it can be blamed on the
worms.
Thusly camoflaged, piece which cost
originally $50 in Grand Rapids may cas-
lily fetch $500 or a couple of thousand
in New York.
In the face of such prices they still
have the nerve to dub some of the pieces
lowboys. If they dealt exclusively in
highboys and high chairs it would be
more to the point.
Up to the moment of going to press l
have always endeavored to keep my
children from mauling unduly my meag-
re assortment of Grand Rapids best. At
ter hearing the cabinet makers story,
however, have decided to turn them
loose and soon hope to have collection
of antiques that will rivel the rieketest
treasures in the pround possession of
The Daughter of Thousand Earls.

al consumption. ] knew that if the ex-
pertinent was to be conducted properly
the question of cost of feeding must be
primarily determined so 1 made every
provision for the attainment of scienti-
fic and systematic data in that regard
The present high costs of all classes of
food make it very difficult to arrive at
permanent calculations and it will there
fore call for additional time to prove or
disprove the practicability Of the idea.
The theory is that the soil and eli
mate and an ample supply of fresh wa
ter will produce feed so cheaply, with
the birds attending to the harvesting,
tht ducks can be cheaply raised in large
quantities and sold to the general public
at very low prices.
AS soon as the data which has been
collected can be reduced to logical con-
clusions the information will be given
out in a report. If through this expert
ment new general source of economi-
cal food supply can be produced think
great good will be served.
One of Many Projects.
This is but one of the many projects
occupying Mr.. Schilling's mind. Most
of them are concerned with the econo-
mics of living, and call for important
changes in present economic systems.
His findings are always based on ex-
haustive experimentation and investi-
cation, and in this present venture he
is working along the same systematic
lines. The result of his present labor
may bring the succulent mallard and the
sprig to the table of the poor man, and
pull the birds of the sky down to earth
out of the luxury clasts.
