Thousands of Tons Wasted.

Chemicals used in paper making,
says F.. o. Merchant of the division,

Busy in Work Of Classifying.

This speed on the part of the rank
and file of the new est draft men has
enabled the local board officials to
get busily at work at once on the
classification work. so essential part
of the selective service program.
While the registration and the ma
tional drawing for order numbers
have occupied and will occupy large
share of the registrants' attention.
these steps are merely preliminary to
classification, as the latter is merely
preliminary to putting men into camp.
Simultaneously with the filing out
of questionnaires here until October

on the classification work, which viii
extend days beyond the date named,
which is the last day allowed for the
return Of any QUESTIONABLE here.

thereafter an equal number win have

the documents went out, the number
of cases for classification will mount
up on the local boards.
All claims for deferred classification
must be passed upon by the local
boards. even cases of claims for de-
ferred classification on occupational
grounds. These latter will be re-
ferred by the local boards for decision
by the district board Of the District.
This latter tribunal, on account of the
number OF claims for Industrial and
occupational exemption. will have the
busiest time Of its existence, from now
on. it is expected.
All the occupational cases will be in
addition to it's normal work Of de-
Gliding appeals made from the classi-
fications on dependency and other
grounds by the local boards.

What Figures Show.

Announcement made by the Federal
Trade Commission today bears out the
need of the order issued by Chairman
Baruch of the War Industries Board
with regard to conservation of paper.
Figures made public show that while
the nation shipped or used 292.735 tons
of paper in August, only 262,377 tons
were produced. leaving a deficit in ex-
cess of 10000 tons.
At this rate Of consumption, the
Federal Trade Commission fears lest
the sopply of paper will soon entirely
disappear.
The total amount of paper on hand
at the end of August was 16S,303 tons.
On the basis of consumption during
August this stock would last about
twenty days.
For these reasons the commission.
IN conjunction with the War Indus
tries Board, urges economy in the use
of paper. Rewrapping of goods is
declared by the commission to be
gross and inexcusable waste of the
much needed material The commits
sion urges that shoppers return to
the market basket. so that articles
can be carried without wrapping
paper.

Large Consumer of Fuel.

'The paper industry is large con-
sumner of fuel On the coarser grades
of paper one ton of coal is consumed
on the average to produce each ton of
paper, while on the finer grades two
and in some cases three tons of coal
are used for each ton of paper.
"Estimating the total production of
paper in 1918 at 100000 tons. the
consumption of coal would be from
100000 to 100000 tons. A 25 per
cent reduction of paper would release
for war purposes nearly 2,50O.000 tons
of coal and 6,O00,0O0 tons of freight
in and out of the mills These reduc-
tions would also necessarily mean the
saving of hundreds of thousands of
hours of labor"
