Big BUSINESS
|. IN WASTEPAPER

have recently made several appeals.
urging the saving of waste paper and
in this connection I wish to call to
the attention Of the public what one
city is doing along these lines, said
Secretary Of Commerce Alexander to-
day.
1.-THE collection and sale of waste
paper in the schools of ST. Louis is
rapidly assuming the aspects OF a
Big Business and 1t is expected that
over $15.00o.oo will be secured before
the close Of the schools in June" Is
statement have just read made by
Stephen NJ. Wagner, member OF the
board of education of St. Louis. Mo.
This movement in St. Louis had it's
inception in a resolution introduced
by Mr.. Wagner at a board meeting sew
eral years ago. Its purpose as out
lined at that time was to have the
pupils in the schools bring old papers.
books, and magazines to the school to
be turned over to firms dealing in
waste paper. The proceeds of all sales
were to go to the credit Of the Teach
ers' Benevolent Annuity Association.
voluntary organization of ST. Louis
teachers, formed for the purpose Of
paying annuities to those Of Its mem
bers who retire after long service and
for giving relief to members tempo
rarily in need.
This movement gradually gained i'm
petus as it's purpose became better
known. Increased interest was given
the movement because OF the growing
scarcity of white paper and the i'm
portance of aiding in the conservation
of the existing supply.
Over one hundred thousand pupils
in 1856 schools now participate in this
work. They save old newspapers and
magazines and once a week bring
them to school where they are de-
posted in proper receptacles. later to
be gathered up and carried away.
To stimulate interest on the part Of
the pupils some Of the schools have in
stituted contests with one room pitted
against another. Other contests have
been started from time to time, all
tending to arouse and keep the inter-
est of the pupils In some schools
a banner is awarded the room having
the largest collection for the week, tol
be retained until some other room
makes a better record.
That the schools are not only doing
very important work in raising
money for worthy cause. but are also
of material assistance in helping tol
conserve the constantly lessening sup |
ply OF white paper. is indicated byl
some of the figures submitted.
For the year of 1919 the schools col
lected a total of 901 tons Of paper.
For the past seven months or since
the schools opened last September they
collected SIS tons. of which 513 tons
consisted of newspapers and So tons
consisted to magazines. Prices in eff
feet at the present time are as follows:
s1.25 per hundred pounds for news

papers and s2.75 per hundred for mag
azines. Since the start OF the paper
saving movement. a grand total of s37,-
s13.34 has been realized from its sale.
An auto truck has been purchased
by the teachers association in order
to facilitate collections OF paper and
delivery to the firms buying waste
paper.
Saving paper has become a regular
part of well planned system of educa-
ton for thrift in the ST. Louis puo,ic
schools and the children are taught
that great many things can be made
use of and have a real value which
have heretofore been thrown away.
What st. Louis is doing can be done
by any other city. Think what it would
mean to the paper situation IL the ma
jority OF our cities would contribute

we were subjected to the barber. He
was nice, genial. hardboiled, deck

your face with light or dark oil, to
suit the complexion, then with a deft

you get a COB of black goo in your ear

Swede water tenders stepped slowly

bath further completed the costume
by adding a coat Of crude oil freckles
all over, covering any place missed by

in court to the king and queen as sons
Of the sea- We ret a certificate signed
by the captain that we were duly quail

an uproar and nearly all took it good
naturally. I was one of the first and
cleared up in time to see the finish.
Along toward the last the tank col

Neptune went back to the sea to wait

There have been q lot Of jokes writ

to which I have not paid much atten-
ton but from now on when I hear Of

Neptune and tho homage I paid to
him. He hangs around the Equator
with his bride and when a ship comes
along he boards her.
About o'clock Monday night as we
reached that vicinity Il didn't see any
ropes or camels) Old Nep and his
bride came up over the bow Of the
ship, asked its name and IL there were

The answer being given he came for

policemen and two water tenders to

There were twenty-five iandlubbers
to be made seamen and they were
dressed in all sorts OF attire-some
more, some less, and marshalled on
deck to await King Nep whose COM

Everyone had to go through be they

Shamrock Will Probably

Of6N Minutes.

New York, July s.-The work Of
measuring cup yachts Resoiute and

today.
The task involves so much detail
that IL is doubtful II Prof. Harold
Webb, OF Columbia. who has charse
OF the matter. will be able TO make
final report before Monday or
Tuesday OF next week.
1t was said by a man In q posi-
tion to know that the Shamrock Nv
will give the Resolute a handicap
of about So minutes.
In previous years 1t was a won
derful sight. to see the hunoreos
of excursion steamers and steam
yachts race out to Sandy Hook and
back again at night loaded to the
guards with enthusiastic spectators,
but this year things are different
and Il is doubtful IL over three or
four excursion boats go out to the
race.
The reason for this is that after
the General Slocum disaster in 1904
a law was passed requiring excur-
sion boats going outside OF Sandy
Hook to carry such large num-
Der of life RATS and life boats that
few excursion boats could comply
with the law and make a pront
without charging a prohibitive fee.
There will of course be fair
number OF steam yachts out. though
the number of big boats in COM
mission is very small compared to
The bulk OF those who see the
race will be passengers on motor
boats whose number will go weh
into the hundreds.
AS far as the general public is
concerned about all they will see
of the race will be in the motion

in the newspapers.
