WASTED

The National Association of Waste
Material Dealers estimates that Ameri-
cans throw away $700,O00,00O worth Of
food each year. If only one ounce of
food is wasted or spoiled in each Of the
20,O00,000 homes of America, the total
loss is 100000 pounds day. AS much
coal is wasted annually as all the mines
of the country could produce in two
weeks.
Thrift and saving are needed not
only in materials but in labor and
money. Each added individual effort
will tend toward the increase of pro-
duction and consequent fall in price of
necessities, but physical idleness is no
less an obstacle to the reduction of liy-
Ing costs than financial idleness. There
are millions of dollars idle in the
United States through lack Of proper
investment which should be working
for the common good. These sums if
put to work would constitute the new
capital so urgently needed to tide over
the period of reconstruction.

PORT FOR INLAND NATIONS
Project That Has Aroused Much In
tarest in Commercial Circles in
Switzerland and France.

a project to provide an Independent
Atlantic port for Switzerland, b.
temia and other inland European na-
tions in order to render them eco
nOmically independent of Germany af-
ter the war is receiving attention in
France and Switzerland, according to
a report to the department of COM
Iuerce from Consul General RavnGal
at Nantes, France.
This project, the consul states, has
81 OuSed much interest at Nantes,
whose municipal authorities are con-
ferring with commercial interests in
Switzerland with q view to combined
action The business men of Lyons
also are said to be watching the move
ment with deep interest, although they
have not yet joined it. The general
idea seems to be to construct suitable
rail connections between the inland
production centers and one of the
Loire pOrts-Nantes, st. Nazaire, La
Rochelle or Bordeaux It is also
thought possible the project may be
forwarded by the construction Of
cenals linking up the Rhine and Rhone
rivers with the navigabIe lake system
of Switzerland.
Existing railroads are available to
fOIm the backbone of such construc-
ton. Port facilities already have been
developed at several of the ports be-
cause of war demands and railroad
yards and warehouses ample for the
beginners Of such project are avail
able at Nantes and st. Nazaire.
1t is thought that after the war
American passenger and freight traffic
with central Europe as well as with
France will tend toward the Loire
ports in preference to the more distant
channel and North sea ports, which,
owing to their location and meteoro-
logical conditions, increase the cost of
navigation and insurance

IN ABE MARTINS COUNTRY
Where Wisdom Centers and "the
World Do Move" but in Decid-
eddy LeisureEy Manner.

All Brown county seemed to be wait
ing for US when late we reached the
picnic grounds Abe Martin types
hung round the roadway to the grove.
Ginger pop. orange cider, ice cream
cones were disappearing down warm
and thirsty Threats. All through the
grove there were grateful voices talk
ing gently of the saving of the corn
crop by the rains. Coats and collars
were not as numerous as on Fifth ave-
nue., but kind hearts and friendly visit
ing and exchange of condolences were
as evident as anywhere in all the
world. Veterans of 81 were linking
up their war with this. and one elab-
orately whiskered farmer earnestly
confided to me: 81 fought four years
to make good Lincoln's word. and I
guess our boys today will stand by
Woodrow"
Honest. homely, shrewd and wise,
they talked Abe Martins language:
ITS nice f live in a little town
where you don't have t give somebud-
~ dime to hold your overcoat."

HIS QUALIFICATIONS FOR BAR
Philadelphia Man Allowed to Practice
Law Because He Could Make
Excellent Chicken Salad.

There has been radical change in
the method of examining students for
admission to the bar in Philadelphia
from the practice of a generation or
two ago. Recently the state examin-
ers held an examination, and the stu
dents found that considerable knowl-
edge of both the theory and practice
Of the law was essential.
This, in theory, might always have
been the case, but in practice the ex-
animation was less thorough in the old
days.
There is a story of Edward D. In
graham, one of the leaders of the Phil
adelphia bar sixty years ago, who was
an examiner as well as a noted wit.
Indeed, his capacity for jokes was al
most as great as his capacity as law
yer and as a speaker.
In those days there were not
enough students to hold formal ex-
animation, and the appearance, man
ner and character of the student him.
self had a great deal to do with pass
ing him for admission.
On one occasion a young man, the
son of a wealthy Philadelphia and
known as a good liver and more or less
man about town, appeared before
the lawyer, who was acting as one of
the examiners.
Mr.. Ingraham knew perfectly well
that the applicant had no intention OF
practicing law. He merely desired to
acquire profession in a graceful, easy
manner.
Consequently, Ingraham asked him
only one question.
''Mr. Co." he said, after the appli-
cant had been shivering in apprehen-
sion of the result, chow do you make
chicken salad?''
Not realizing the purport of the ques-
ton, Mr.. G.. answered naturally and
with superior knowledge on the sub
ject.
Perfectly satisfactory" said Mr..
Ingraham, 81 will sign your certificate
with great pleasure"
But one can not pass so easily in
these times, or every cook could be-
come a member of the bar.
