NEWSPRINT USED IN
3 MONTHS IS RECORD

Washington, Jan. 2.-Consumption
of newsprint paper in the United
States during the last three months
reached record breaking point,
along with prices, the federal trade
commission reported in a summary
Thursday The average cost of news
print at mills at the beginning of De-
cember was $3.90 a hundred, the
commission reported, against 1915 u
year ago. In 1916 the price was $1.SS,
the lowest in several years.
High prices failed to cut down con-
sumption, however, and the commits
sion estimated that in 1919 fourteen
percent more newsprint was used
than in 1918. During the fourth quar-
ter of 1919 particularly newsprint
consumption was running up and the
commission said that the increase
then over the similar period in 1918
would be between 25 and 80 percent.
In November, 1919. the 727 publish
ers reporting to the commission used
| 161 ,602 tons of newsprint, compared
with 123.S74 tons in November, 1918.

sentative, James o'Grady told the

Russia will regenerate herself by
her own resources. l believe she will
become the America of another new
world, The soviet government today
is far more humane, far saner and
far more statesmanlike than the so
Wet government of year ago. Afro
cities, of course, are being commit
ted but 1 know that when the perpe-
traitors are adjudged guilty they arC
exterminated"
| Mr.. O'Grady strongly opposed arm
