Deaf Men Found to Be Best
Workers in Noisy Factory

The war is developing new labor
conditions and problems. Probably the
most unique instance which has come
to light is contained in request made
of the labor bureau of the Ohio branch
of the national defense council by an
Ohio manufacturer, says the Columbus
Dispatch.
81 want from twenty to thirty deaf
men. If they are deaf and dumb both,
1t won't make any difference" This
was the request made by a big Ohio
manufacturer. ~ will pay them from
$3.50 to $3.50 per day and give them
steady work. I want to put them to
work In one branch Of my factory
where the noise is so great that 1T is
impossible to keep hearing men on
the job. / tried a couple Of deaf men
and they have proved so successful
that want score or more of them"

HALF A CUP OF MILK
MANY Mickle Makes a
Muckle"

Half cup of milk-whole,
skinned or sOur-a seemingly trifiing
matter-hardly worth the trouble to
keep or use.
In many households quite a little
milk is wasted-left uncovered In
glasses-regarded as useless because
the cream has been skinned off-al-
lowed to sour-poured down the sink
or thrown out.
Now, If every home-there are TO-.
100000 of them-should waste ON the
average one-half cup daily. 1t would
mean a waste of 100000 quarts
daily-912, 100000 quarts a year-the
total product of more than 100000
cows.
1t takes lot of grass and grain to
make that much milk-and an army OF
people to produce and deliver II.
But every household doesn't waste
a half-cup Of milk a day7 Well, say
that one-half cup is wasted in only
one out of hundred homes. Still IN
tolerable, declare government experts
when milk is so nutritious-when skin
milk can be used In making nutritious
soups and cereal dishes-when soul
milk can be used In bread-making OF
for cottage cheese.

His Check Was Too Big.

Matthew White, Jr., cashier at the
Hotel Belvidere, in Baltimore, has had
many requests made of him and he
thought he was immune from surprise
until a guest from the far West
stepped up to his window and asked
him II he could cash check.
Certainly" said Mr.. White. that's
what / am here for. How will you
have 1t, fives, ten or small changer"
mot particular" said the guest lay
Ing down a United States treasury
check for $195,000.
When Mr.. White recovered he owned
up that he did not have quite that
much money in his cash drawer.
But" said Mr.. White, 'leave 1t with
me, and I will send IT to the subtreas-
ury and you can call for the money In
the morning"
The stranger explained that it was
just a little joke. The check was
good, and had been given to him In
Washington in payment for three ships
sold the government.

drawers suffer most. The greatest
damage Is done In the summer when
woolens and furs are not In use and
the moths are most active.
If such garments and materials that
are not 10 be used are carefully
brushed, beaten, summed and placed in
tight pasteboard boxes, the joints of
which are sealed with gummed paper,
they will go through the summer in
comparative safety. Such articles
may also be protected by inclosing In
paper bags and hanging free of the
fioor-in closet or in the attic. Cloth
ing put away In closet or wardrobe
should be brushed and summed before
storage and carefully examined at
least once a month throughout the
summer.
Trunks or boxes In which clothing
is to be stored should be cleaned and
treated with gasoline. The clothing
to be packed away In them should
first be beaten, brushed and summed.
In addition to this, garments should
be fumigated with carbon bisulphide
at least once a month.
