WASTE OF CONTAINERS

As an instance of the scope for the utilization of waste we may mention such commodities as ink bottles and the tins and jars used by makers of toilet articles. Manufacturers have more than once emphasized the short age in these resptacles, and in many instances chip and cardboard boxes are now used instead of the formr more solid containers. Yet there is not one retailer in a hundred prepared to re- ceive his customers returned empties.

MISUSE OF BRITISH TITLES

Germans, like most foreigners, never understand our system of titles.

"GASLESS" SUNDAYS
ARE NEAR THEIR END

The period OF gasoline conservation
will be Of short duration, according to
The Lamp, published by the Standard
OIL Of New Jersey. Continuing it says
"The production OF either gasoline or
fuel oil-the two chief derivatives from
crude oil-depends on the consumption
OF both. The greater proportion Of the
crude oils produced in the United States
is unsuitable for use as fuel oil until
the lighter constituents have been re-
moved, and as the military and indus
trial necessities demand that there must
be no curtailment in the output OF the
vital liquid fuel Of the oil burning ships
and the multitude Of munitlOn plants.
IL follows that the period OF gasoline
conservation, barring extraordinary de-
velopments, will be OF brief duration,
and in order that neither the war pro-
gram nor business shall suffer through
a shortage OF fuel oil. it will then be
necessary for the consumption Of gaso-
line to continue on quite as large scale
as existed earlier in the year"
