National Waste.

Waste on the farm in the factory in stores
and shops and mines and wherever human &C
tiVites have scope, looms to q staggering mag
nitude in a country Of 10 600, 900 people. The
Institute of American Business, organized for
the impartial study and dissemination of eco
nomic facts bearing the relationship of
business to the public, in a bulletin from Wash
ington. states that fertilizers with a crop pro
ducing value of more than 500, oo0, 900 bushels
of wheat are annually being wasted the re-
suit of burning bituminous coal instead of
cooking it, according to figures presented to
the senate finance committee. A four-foot
seam Of coal contains enough ammonium sui
phate to fertilize the land above it for 500
years, declares Floyd W. Parsons. an expert
chemist By burning soft coal without cook
ing all of this ammonium sulphate is wasted
Prior to the war" says MI Parsons, "the
Germans were the leaders in the practice OF
extracting the by-products from coal through
cooking. When the World war commenced
Germany coking 100000 tons more coal
in by-product ovens than the rest of the world
combined. This policy of the Germans in ex-
tracing the highest possible value of their
coal supplies is largely responsible for that
country's supremacy in dye stuffs manu-
facture." And it came near winning the war
for the kaiser. Americans have many lessons
to learn from that war, more, far more, than
has been indicated by the example cited.
And even that has not been revealed in the
aggregate waste of fertilizer material Not
only agriculture is affected by our waste of
coal products. The manufacturers of paper.
printing inks, electro plating and photo en-
craving supplies, water proofing materials
glass, glue, leather paint, varnish and oil cloth
products, and rubber goods, as well as the
metal industries Of all kinds are dependent
upon chemicals that are coal tar derivatives.
All have been going to waste in the United
States. All require the employment of labor
in their production

Dime Novels Not So Bad.

The only thing about the dime novel that
was bad was the cover. Most of US remember
much pleasant about the old paper covers"
that 1ourished in the sos and COS. Under
Diamond Dick we gang-fought all sorts of
thugs and bad men, With old King Brady we
detected the bank robbers with detectors
hitting all six; we rode with Buffalo Bill
he put the Indian sign on Indians that were
at least supposed to be bat< Sometimes it was
rough stuff, but at that it was rarely that more
than one throat day cut or more than
pint of gore Ieft clinging to the deity re-
moved scalp.
We remember that in the end virtue always
triumphed, and that honesty, If not the best
policy, didn't do anybody any harm. The much
abused dime novel, it will have to be said,
tended the young shoots of the imagination In
many a creaky woodshed loft and in many a
sheltered spot behind the fence. AS we re-
member the dime novel are unable to re-
call one bedroom scene, one neglected wife,
one young heroine sobbing in her pink bou-
doir because she is not understood, one nasty
problem. Which may lead some of US to
think that the dime novel had nothing to fear
in comparison with the SO novel.

Tempting Youth.

Fifty slot machines, valued at $4,000. were
DESTROYED in Bettendorf the other day under di-
rection of the town authorities. The machines
. had been confscated in raid on bars. pool
halls and cigar stores.
The slot machine, standing on the counter
of place where young men congregate, may
appear innocent enough to the average indl-
vidual but the insidious influence is there
1t is a constant temptation to the youth un-
initiated in the art of gambling. He has heard
of others getting something for nothing. and
he tries his fortune the turn of the wheel
There is a lure in the game of chance that few
can resist once they are touched by the thrill
of winning.
There will be gambling just as long as the
world goes on. for it is impossible to entirely
eradicate the evil, but local authorities can do
a lot toward protecting youth in keeping away
from such temptation as the slot machines and
other games of chance found in cigar stores,
pool halls and bars afford. These places are
licensed to conduct a specified line of business.
and when they assume to turn their estab-
lishments into gambling holes they should be
promptly dealt with.
There are laws covering all forms of gam
bling, and they should be enforced, at least
in those instances where the violations are
so fragrant as they are in the case of the class
of stores mentioned

cism TO. be offered to the plan Of placing dis
abled soldiers in private institutions where
the government is satisfied as the character
OF those institutions and the qualifications of
those in charge to perform the service they
contract to perform. Where the government
has been lame has been in alloting these dis
abld men to institutions, taking into consid-
GRAFTON only the cost of maintenance. The
institution that offered the lowest figure to
care for an allotment of soldiers got the con-
tract Then it was up to the officers, of the
Institution to drive the best bargain possible.
The soldiers are the sufferers. Many of them
are mental cases and when they complained
their protests were dismissed with the ex-
PLANTATION that they were suffering decisions.
Another charge laid at the door of the gov
ernment is the practice of farming out SOL
diers under training to employers having no
interest in the welfare OF the men. No atten-
ton was paid, it seems. to the character of
the work the men were called upon to do. The
chief aim of the government agents seemingly
was to get rid of them in the easiest way pos
sible, not caring how much the men suffered.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the new expo
sureS will start something at Washington, and
that every crippled soldier be given the atten-
ton and consideration he is entitled to, not
alone as a humane proposition but as a mark
of gratitude on the part of people for whose
security he risked his life.

Exploiting the Disabled.

1t is alleged that 10000 American World
war soldiers, crippled while in the service of
their country, are being exploited in mush-
room vocational training institutions and
farmed out by the government to sweat shops
in virtual slavery Disclosures of conditions
is revealed In a report to President Harding
submitted by Colonel Charles R Forbes, di-
rector of the United States Veterans bureau
after thorough Investigation of the insti-
tuition in which crippled soldiers were being
cared for.
If the facts as they have been pre-
scented there should be prompt action by the
government to relieve a situation that ought
to bring blush of shame to the cheeks of
