FOOD WASTE

FOOD WASTE-Iread in The Day
Book what Fred Saal had to say
about retrenching in kitchens. It is
ridiculous, funny, and sad at the
same time, for the rich to yell about
our wasting food. Prices are so high
that we are fortunate if only we can
get enough to keep in health.
In one day the food hog wastes
enough food for the poor to live on
for weeks. They throw and store
food away in order to boost prices,
never considering what it means to
the poor. Fred Saal, you said a whole
lot when you said that something
must happen if the price Of food does
not stop rising. Money hogs, take
care while there is timex. K

people who are already mOnOpolizing

folks don't mix we'll if it comes tO-

when all played together that the
young folks danced and played and
ran around the older people, who
seemed to be just good enough to
form a circle and then stand there
like fence posts until the others were
tired amusing themselves.
This is not to be understood as if
I want to criticize. 1t only is evil
dence that young folks and middle
age won't mix where the sole pur-
pose Of a gathering is to entertain.
One cannot blame the young folks
for acting thus. It is not even sell

drawn to their own kind. The mid

quieter recreation, and the idea to or

Candles vs.. Electricity.

The Society for Electrical Develop.
ment, anxious to encourage q wider
use Of electricity for lighting, has pre-
pared figures showing it is much cheap,
er than candles or kerosene.
A recent test of six candles showed
that for l cent only 2.68 candle-power
hours were obtained. If electricity for
lighting costs 9 cents for a kilowatt
hour 2O-watt lamp can be lighted for
80 hours for cents. The efficiency of
2O-watt incandescent is a candle
power for III watts. Thus a 2O-watt
lamp will provide about II candle
power. It will burn SO hours for g
cents, or $50 candle-power hours will
cost cents. One cent will buy 94.4
candle-power hours, or S5 times as
much light as can be obtained from a
candle for l cent.

New Tajkin0 MMovjes ~

Application has been made for a
patent on a very elaborate device
which would produce a combination of
the cfnematograph and the photograph
to give us moving pictures wherein the
characters not only move but speak.
The idea of such pictures is not new,
but the difficulties Of synchronizing
have hitherto proved insurmountable.
By synchronizing is meant the exact
coincidence of the motion picture, pro-
jected by one machine, with the speech
supposed to proceed from the char
acters which is produced by quite an
other. Unless the speech comes at
the right instant, the result is laugh
able rather than impressive. In the
proposed device the actual speech of
the character Is transmitted by wire
less telephone to phonograph whose
complex receiving mechanism is syn
chronized with the movements Of the
moving picture camera.

LAWNS NOW POTATO FIELDS
VeiVety Parks of the Show Places of
France Transformed to Meet
Economic Crisis.

The rare American tourists who visit
the chateau of Touraine in France
may find the velvety parks Of the
most interesting show places trans
formed into potato patches.
Aristocracy has taken up the 'tuber
campaign" and, beginning with the
Countess Of NOailles and the Duchess
d'Uzes, chatelaines all over the coun-
try have promised to dig up their
lawns and plant vegetables. Flower
gardens, also, will be consecrated to
the solution Of the economic crisis.
The rose, the vine and the orchard
are not to be touched, but all annual
flowers and all green sWards must
give way to the democratic potato in
the Interest Of the national defense
Since there is not enough labor for
the farm lands already under culti-
walton, the temporary release from the
army of a greater number Of farmers
and the Importation Of more Indo-Chi-
nese and North African labor is ex-
pected to count more effectively in
solving the agricultural problem than
the efforts to transform the chateau
parks into vegetable gardens.

CIGAR AS OPIUM SUBSTITUTE
Aiding in Redemption of China, Where
Natives Are Now Frequently Seen
Smoking Their Cheroots.

The cigar Is doing a large part In
the redemption Of China. 1t is no un-
common thing to see a native smoking
his cheroot, which promises to enjoy
the favor once bestowed on opium.
The import of cigars into various
Chinese ports has been greatly on the
increase in the last few years, and now
amounts to about $350,O00 annually.
Of this trade four-ffths normally is
through Hongkong. There has been
a marked increase in the quantity of
Dutch-made cigars used in South China
and other portions of the Far
East during the last year or more,
where, for various reasons, Philippine
cigars have been losing in favor.
Previous to the outbreak of the war
In Europe considerable quantities of
cheap cigars were sold in China and
the Far East through German firms in
HOngkOng, and German cigar fac
tory was operated in Hongkong for the
manufacture of cheap cigars for the
Chinese trade and also for export to
Europe. This factory is still operated
under Chinese control.

Diamonds to Remain hiQh.

The high cost of diamonds keeps up.
If you have any hidden away among
your potatoes and onions hold them,
for you may not get any more. This is
the prophecy made at a convention of

association at New York, which pre-
diets that the high price of diamonds
will hold for a good many years after
the war.
Benjamin Rees, a diamond importer,
In the role of prophet said he had
been abroad on diamond-buying ex.
cursions five times since the war be-
gan; that diamonds have advanced in
price 30 to 40 per cent in the past
year, and that the high prices will hold
because the 1900 cutters and polish
ers in Belgium are gone, the Kaftirs
who mined the rough diamonds are
making munitions and that England
probably will put tax on rough dia-
monds.
