Whether Old Newspapers Can BE Used
Again for Printing

During the war the German Govern.
ment tried to conserve the available
supply Of paper by perfecting II process
whereby the impressions left by the ink
in printing newspaper or magazine
co"ld be removed by chemical process
which hlcachcd the ink out Of the paper
and made it white again.
They found this could he done il ink
made from coal black instead Of
gas black" was used. BY bleaching
printed newspapers in this way they
could b" used over again five or six
times. Recently the United States
forests products laboratory has sue.
cceded in developing a process along
this line. One mill has "de.inked"
more than 1900 tons OF old newspapers
and r"madc this bleachcd paper into
other paper OF the required strength
and tint So that newspaper publishers
have accepted i: as standard stock. A
clay like substance called Dantonite.
which Is made from volcanic ash and
found in quantity in Wyoming, is
the principal factor used in the bleach.
ing process and it IL now thought that
a great deal of the immense quantity
Of Old newspapers may be reclaimed in
this way.
The black coloring matter In print

black. Gas black is made from natural

L engaged 20 Charley.
Not only did Aline gain prestige be-
cause of the fact that she was engaged.
but il possible she had moro freedom.
This was due In largo part 20 the fact
that she could manage Charley so well.
He seemed 80 ready to acccde TO her
wishes. to allow her 70 have every
thing 70 say. and Aline took advantage
Of his love for her TO impress upon
him the fact that she had no intention
Of marrying just yet.
"Not for long time she had said

OF time ahead of us 70 assume re-

MS n chance to see how well suited we
are to each other. That's sensible,
isn't IT,
And Charley had agreed. although
II the truth be known he wasn't on
tirely satisfied. Aline made him feel
that he had no hold on her. Being
engaged to her was an empty kind OF
. thing, and as the days passed. this
fact was impressed upon him more and
more.
For one thing. she was so casual
about love- making OF any kind. When
tuey were H!oHe, ava Ep put MS arms
around her. she did not draw away.
but she remained perfectly still in lis
arms. There was no response IN her.
and her lips when he kissed them were
cool. Al times like these he wanted
to storm her with questions. He want
ed TO ask her if she really loved him.
and If she did, why she was So mat
ter Of fact about everything.
But he did none of these things. and
for very cool reason. He was afraid
Of losing her. the bond that held them
together seemed so fragile that he wns
afraid to take the chance ot sever!ng
IL altogether. and so he remained silent
and took what the gods were good
enough to give him.

WHEN the reporters sought inter.

asked her all sorts Of trivial, irrelevant
questions, such as whether or not she
approved Of cigarette smoking. and short
skirts for girls, to which she replied
that such things were Of no Importance
whatever.

The old idea was to prohibit every

Now this woman. still young and at.
