cheated by the ragman and conse- quently dislike to deal with him-but that js largely our own fault; for we do@not take the trouble of finding out what our old newspapers and rags and scraps of metal ought to bring. Then. too, we hate to haggle, and feel 1t beneath our dignity to concern our selves with the sale of such things as worn out bicycle or automobile tires, oVershoes, old bottles, etc, and can not seem to view the question as the European views it.
 Yet, the European is right. Thrifty living IS right living. And especially in this day of high prices, we should not despise making the few pennies here and there which junk will bring.
 Do you realize that bones are used for fertilizer and glue; rubber in any form can he reclaimed: tin is turned back into the manufacturer's hands; cotton rags make paper, woelen rags are made into shoddy, and that old newspapers and magazines reappear in the form of pasteboard boxes? You should not throw away any of these things.
 If you do not need the money which the sale of these things will bring, you might form a community Waste Club" each member of which would save his junk to be sold every three months or Six months for some char itable purpose. If women clubbed to- gether in this way, it would be pos- sible to get fair prices from a reputa- ble junk dealer, and he would make an effort to hold the patronage of such an organization. The members would have the satisfaction of know ing that they were receiving fair prices for this waste matter and that the money was being turned back in- to useful circulation again. The club might be run for the support of a hospital bedz-a social settlement club etc. Boy Scouts could be of the greatest assistance in this matter; the waste might be kept by them in some convenient place and they would be useful in finding a junk dealer who paid fair prices, and in conducting the sale.
 The collection and disposal of waste matter is not question of the bene- fit to the individual or to the commu- nity; it is question of benefit to ths nation.
 Community clubs for civic better ment are splendid things, but 1t is my opinion that clubs which ar, formed for the purpose of helping tn, family pocketbook meet the high cos of living, are equally necessary to- | day. A waste club of this sort if rul only for the betterment of its mem bers, would be one well worth form ing.

Ito insure us AN army OF trained
officers and men in the event Of
war breaking out again"
The lining up Of belligerent
powers viii probably differ
greatly from that OF the last
war Prof. Hart declared. The
combination OF Germany. Japan
