HIN WE CAN SAVE IN
OFFICE STATIONERY
Suggestions Which viii Assist
Government to Secure
Its Supply.

Chairman Baruch Of the war indus
tries board recently made public the
following suggestions TO business Of
fees for saving Office stationery and
stated that the general adoption az
these suggestions would result in tho
saving Of large tonnage Of high-grade
paper ana aid the government in Sc
curing it's requirements of paper and
chemical pulp needed for war pur-
poses:
1. Write single space, except be-
tween paragraphs.
.. Write Oh. b0tAs.sid~s in case OF
long letters.
3. Use half or two-third sheets for
short letters. II necessary eliminate
excessive advertising, long lists of ohl-
GERS and directors, etc, from lettcr
heads, especially where changes are
likely TO occur.
4. Use JIG lb. paper and the smallest
sized envelopes required by the inclos-
ures.
3. Use the backs Of letters that are
being answered as carbons.
6. Use postcards for acknowledge
ments.
Z. Watch your waste baskets and
use the spoiled sheets and backs Of
envelopes for scratch pads.
These suggestions are along the lines
of those recently adopted by govern
ment offices in Washington.
Various other suggestions for econ
ony in the use OF Office stationery have
been received. Some Offices are fol-
lowing the practice of writing replies
on the letters received and sending
them back. This can be done whore it
is not necessary to keep copies. Some
times n stamp is used On letters SO re-
turned, worded as follows: "We are
using this method of reply in response
to the governments appeal to save
paper"
A good suggestion for saving strong
manila envelopes is to have somo
labels printed which can be pasted on
the face of the envelopes, covering the
old address so that the envelope can
be used again. BY this means strong
manila envelope can be used several
times, and an envelope saved is an
envelope made.
One business office reports that i,
has gone over its discarded letter files
and has saved out all good full and
half sheets which have the backs
blank. These sheets are being used az
carbons for recent correspondence. BY
this means this particular Office has
reclaimed a two years supply Of car
bon sheets.
For interdepartmental communica-
tions many business offices are using
manila envelopes, each envelope being
used at least fifteen times by crossing
out each name when delivered and
writing the next one below it. Tho
names are written crosswise the enve-
lope.

VIM. S. HART
"THE BORDER
WIRELESS"
An Artcraft Picture.

With a thrill in every foot of
film, a smashing climax, and love
story that IS delightfully."- convincing,
"The Border Wireless the new
William S. Hart picture, shown at
the Sugg tonight, is one of the best
in which that virile western actor
has ever appeared, BY linking Mr.
Hart's western type of characterize
ton with a distinctly modern situa-
ton resultant from the war, involy-
ing a wireless plot on the border
engineered by German spies, and
bringing in a most exquisite little
telegraph operator, the authors have
succeeded in bringing the drama
up to the minute without sacrific-
ing any of that picturesqueness that
every admirer Of Mr. Hart demands.
The story is consistently developed,
is full of logical ii exciting action,
and is wonderfully well played.
Wanda Hawley is the leading wom-
an and a good cast supports the
star.
This is q different lind Of a Hart
picture, yet it retains enough Of the
familiar quality to make it pleas
ing to those who are insistent upon
the western film star remaining a
westerner The patriotic flavor the
splendid military scenes, tie rapid
fire action all render this picture
the most delightful and inspiring Ell

Gen.. aAL GOUPAt5l IS
WAR HERO or French
0aShing 0ne-Armed Soldier Has
Won immortal Fame by
His FeatS.

General Gouraud, whose greatest
work so far in this war has been the
holding of the Champagne front
against the German assault of July Is
and the plnching-out move astrlde the
Argonne in conjunction with the Amer
leans, Is one OF Frances war leaders
whose fame undoubtedly will be I'M
mortal.
Gouraud first came into prominence
as captain by capture of the blood
thirsty SOudanese chieftain Samory.
AS colonel Gouraud restored order
in less than year in Adrar and Maui
ritania, on the borders of the Sahara,
where trouble had been rampant for
years. A few years later he punished
the African tribes that had dared to
attack Fez.
Becoming brigadier in cooperation
with General Baumgarten, he laid siege
to Tara, the Berber fortress which
since its erection no enemy had dared
TO attack. The success of this opera
tion resulted in the establishment Of
eastern and western Morocco.
In 1914 Gouraud went TO GallipOll,
from whence he soon returned minus
an arm. lie previously had been
wounded many times. Ordinary gen
erals would have retired. But not
Gouraud. "A arm more or less didn't
interfere with his indomltability as a
leader Of men and as a military strate-
gist. He was the first TO utilize two
mile-decp outpost zone, the loss Of
which would not interfere With the
main battle position, which had been
withdrawn from The advanced trenches.

$4,000 HAS BEEN SUBSCRIBED
TO OTTAWA'S WAR RELIEF
FUND

The total subscriptions to the War
Fund at the close of business Wednes-
day was $4,000
Yesterday was not as productive in
subscriptions as anticipated but the
renewed activity Of those who worked
late into the evening and who are
on the job today determined to com
plete their labors They expect to
make a killing today and tomorrow
and when the final returns are sent
to the secretary's Office the people
may look for very much increased
subscription which will come pretty
near filling the chest to It's capacity.
The secretary asks and urges the
committees TO finish their work with
ont any further delay and to. turn in
their reports and supplies to the sec
ro'ary's Office. This will expedite
matters very much and assist great
lv in the checking process that will
keep the executive committee ana sec
retary very busy.
Everyone who is not already on the
roll of honor Is urged TO make a spe-
eial effort before Saturday night to
sign a subscription blank for their
contribution to the War Fund BY
this means they will be showing their
patriotism and helping the boys who
are giving their time and possibly
their lives
The War Chest Fund has proven
most popular in Ottawa and the man
ner in which the loyal people have
responded TO the call for war funds
Is indeed most gratifying TO the ex
ecutive committee and when the la
bor8 of the soliciting committees are
finished il will be found that Ottawa
will be as it always has been, 100

Kirby, winter habitual at the coun-
~ jail, was brought to Ottawa this
morning under a ninety day sentence
imposed upon him by Police Magis-
trate Fred Dauber, of Peru.
In former years during his regular
cold weather visits TO Ottawa Kirby
was registered as a palm yag. But
now he has the honor OF being a
federal law vioator 1t was because
he refused To work and was a com
mon idler without any visible means

Kirby broughtalong with him q
nicely blackened eye. He received
that smoked lamp in saloon mix'up.
When the court spotted the eye and
after he considered Kirby's propen
stiles for resting he decided Kirby
vas just the man Uncle Sam wanted
in jail.
It was not TO Kirby's liking. He pre-
