ties of shoes and other articles
made of leather, and then more
and more. We are asked to econo-
mize in every possible way that
our boys may be well fed and
equipped to win this war.
/ wish to call attention to the
enormous quantity of material we
have and which is now wantonly
wasted.
We slaughtered about 67,OOO'OOO
pigs in 1916 and hardly 10 per
cent was used for leather. Ar
ticles made from this leather are
higher than other goods. Why
the skin from pigs is not removed
like beef or lamb is an unexplaln-
able absurdity.
The consumer who buys nam,
shoulder, or bacon pays for the
skin on same and then throws 1t
away. The producer would re-
ceive a better price for the raw
skin and the tanner a higher price
than for other feathers and then
have the bristles for brushes, etc.
As an illustration Of the economy
that could be had of the peoples
money under army and navy con-
tracts. say 20,O0O,000 pounds Of
bacon, at least 1000, 900 pounds,
roughly, would represent the skin.
A slab of bacon weighing ten
pounds has a skin large enough to
make the uppers for one pair Of
shoes.
The skin of pigs makes the very
best of leather, and to a very lim-
tied extent is now used for making
articles requiring the toughest and
hardest wearing qualities. Pig
skin gloves, pocketbooks. binding
for books, leggins. footballs, va
lises, uppers for shoes, etc, are
some Of the articles made from
this leather.
In the United States we pro-

duce about 100000 pigs or hogs
every year, and which could very
easily be increased to meet any
need. The average skin will make
more than five pairs Of uppers for
shoes. We now waste more than
enough Of this valuable material
to make over 800. .O00, 900 pairs Of
shoes. Without going into details
and rather to suggest a remedy
that will relieve the high cost Of
articles made from leather, this
nation now absolutely wastes this
vast amount Of material offered as
food when we have such great
needs for our feet.
The remedy can be found in a
plain law, which the Congress
should enact, amending the inter-
state commerce law "forbidding
the interstate shipment Of all pork
products with the skin on" The
States should forbid the sale Of all
intrastate pork products with the
skin on. The buying public would
very readily choose the hams and
bacon having no skin on, which
would have to be handled in a
more sanitary manner than is
usual with bacon.
Our Department Of Agriculture,
in a farmers bulletin, could tell
our farmers how to skin and cure
the leather for home use, and its
many uses, or the best way to
market the same; call attention to
the great waste Of fuel and labor
to scald and scrape a pig, the
value of the bristles and the great
er value Of the leather.
Let me beg of The Times to help
by all means possible to bring this
matter before the people and help
solve this great economical prob
lem, which is fraught with grave
danger to our whole national well
fare.

JAZZ ORCHESTRA
To GIVE BIG DANCE

The Navy Yard Jazz orchestra
composed of bluejackets from the
naval station will play for the first
time in Pensacola under the personal
supervision of Rayburn M. Rayland
at the Woodmen of the World hall
on Wednesday night, February 20.
The full orchestra was scheduled to
play at the Armory hall last Satur-
day night, but owing to the fact that
the hall was occupied by soldiers
from Camp Pike, the dance was post
poned indefinitely.
This will be a treat for all who
attend as it is very seldom that the
people of Pensacola have the oppor-
tunity to hear real Jazz orchestra,
especially by bluejackets. All new
music has arrived from New York
ard RcIllc's, Will Rossiter's ard

A few of the boys have played in

so much on the Victor talking ma
chine, so that gives due credit to the

in preparing for the dance by the
