"orionn Type Of Stars.

The youngest stars of which we
have knowledge are the "Orion' type
Of stars. The constellation of Orion
is composed mainly Of them, as well
as parts Of Taurus, the Pleiades, and
parts Of Perseus. In color. they are
much like the Sirius type, blush white,
and brilliant, but a spectroscope at
once detects the difference between
them. Stars like Sirius and Vega
are surrounded by hydrogen gas, but
the Orion\stars have no hydrogen. and
are made of helium and nebula. They
often have great volumes of fine nehu-
la dust about them, showing that. they
are still in the process of cOndensing
out of the primitive star matter.

Our Limited Resources.

We should put out of our minds the
idea that we have stores of accumulat-
ed wealth upon which to draw for war
supplies. England had such stores, but
we have not. When England went into
the war she had great stores of out
standing legal claims upon the work
ing organization of the outside world.
She had also an established credit that
enabled her to gear into her own work.
ing system the industrial power of the
United States and many other neutral
countries. We are devoid of any COM
parable resources. We have no capt.
tai to throw at the enemy. We have
nothing to throw but our current in.

The match shortage in England is
used by the British press to recall
story of the well-known firm Of Bry-
ant & May, match manufacturers. One
day when they were in the heyday Of
their prosperity the senior partner.
Mr.. Bryant, dressed in the height of
fashion, drove a spanking team onto
the Ascot race course.

to the horses, "Bryant's got his match
there"

not. .~, .-.-.-. ..,.s.s ~ -
Either you shouldered your gun,
served in the trenches, or the Young

If you could not serve. you could
send your boys with a Godspeed, as
they marched out to the front. To
hold them back stamped them as slack

Either you strained your resources
to buy Liberty bonds or you forgot
your obligation to those who fought

Making total of 1897 articles and 1.048
pounds of refugee clothing.
AS the work allotted to us con-
sisted more of sewing, I deemed
it advisable during the summer
to purchase two additional sew
ing machines for the workroom,
making four that we own, and to
tighten the work of the women
| had them equipped with cleo
trio motors. These, however,
have scarcely been used, as the
workroOm was ordered closed in
the early part of October, and
Just about this time the motors
were installed. The workroom
hes only recently been permitted
to reopen.
In addition to the amount con-
tributed to Morgan City Branch,
$1,614.32, and to the wonderful
showing during the War Fund
Drive. when an amount in excess
of $4,000 was contributed here.
the people in the jurisdiction of
the branch have been paying
into the Chapter Maintenance
Fund the sum of $500 per month
or $2,700 since March, when this
fund was started.
I Considering the fact that our
workroom has been closed, as
result. of the influenza epidemic,
for almost sixty days, I consider
the work accomplished by the
women of Morgan City, as shown
in my report, fine indeed.

FROM THE WAR SAVINGS
COMMITTEE, NEW OR.
LEANS, LA.

Many Persons, puzzled at the per-
ennial problem of what to give"
will happily settle the problem this
year by giving War Savings Stamps
as Christmas gifts. The many ad-
vantages of War Savings Stamps as
gifts are pointed out as follows by
the Louisiana War Savings Commit
tie:
A war Savings Stamp purchased
in December costs $4.23, and onthe
day of its maturity, January 1, 1923,
it will be worth $500. Thus, not
only will the stamp last for four
years, but it will be worth more than
it is now, which can scarcely be said
of any present that could be pur-
chased for $423. The owner can
then purchase whatever he or she
may wish to get.
Besides the above financial advan-
tage, War Savings Stamp is pa
trlotlc present. as it represents mon
ey loaned to Uncle Sam to help fin
ish Americas great task.
Another inviting feature of W. S.
S. as Christmas gifts, is that they
are suitable as presents to men,
women, or children. They are prac-
teal, patriotic, and preferred.
War Savings and Thrift Stamps as
Christmas gifts, will be the popular
thing this year, and all persons who
have learned the true lesson of
thrift will give these stamps as pres
ents.
Yours very truly,
P. H. SAUNDERS,
State Director.

NEW GARBAGE CONTRACTS.

ACCEPTING the statement Of Mark II. Kesler, commits
. - sioner Of public safety, as to the approximate food
value of Oklahoma City's garbage, it Is apparent that this
city has been an easy mark, a good thing and a soft snap for
the garbage collectors. Waste which is worth $4,000 a
year. according to Mr.. Keslers conservative estimate, has
been bringing the city 1929 a year from the bcnciiciarieS
Of present contracts. Something more has been realized
from fees from householdcrs awaiting themselves Of the
garbage collecting system, but the total is insufficient to
operate the department.
Nothing is availed by weeping over spilled milk, aud
the public should be pleased that new contracts are con
templated, which may come somewhat nearer yielding a
fair return. Indeed, such a return should be insisted on,
and every effort made to secure as many bidders as pos
sible on the proposed new contracts. The waste food, which
has been proftably used in feeding hogs, doesn't repre-.
sent the total value Of garbage, by any means, as is shown
BY the profits made by the enterprislng oyersecr Of the
public dump, who sorts the trash there and sells his CLEAN
in2s to the Junk men for considerable sums.
1t has been evident for some time that the city, budget
is too small to provide for all the expenses which are a
proper part of running the city, and this opportunity to re-
plenish the treasury should be played to the limit BY
utilizing waste in y-products, many big business institu-
tons in this country have grown prosperous, and a public
corporation should be as careful in these matters as a pi-
vate concern. This is particularly true at a time when
city funds are low, and when waste Of any sort is some
thing OF a crime. Early offers, as that OF the Tulsa firm
which offers $1,000 for the garbage privilege, do not in
dictate that it will be possible to realize the full worth Of
the waste, or even near it, but there is no doubt that the
city will do better than it has done, and any increase is
that much gained,
Because the city isn't likely to get what it should, at
present indications of garbage value, and because there
must be a continued effort to save food, residents 'Nould
make renewed efforts to reduce the amount Of garbage
| times past, America has thrown into the garbage pals
enough food to support a nation of considerable size. The
wanton extravaganza of those days Of peace and plenty
has been greatly reduced. Hoover has made the clean
plate quite respectable, and potato parings aren't as thick
as they used to be. We have learned to use stale bread as
food for man instead of beast, and the sugar ration has
saved much which used to be wasted in the bottom OF cof-
fee cups. But we are still somewhat short of the frugality
