FOUND: FEDERAL BUREAU
THAT MAKES OWN PAPER

Washington, May 20.-Found-
one. government department which
goes to an extreme to save Uncle
Sam a tidy sum of money every
month.
The Commerce Departments Bu-
reau of Standards has a miniature
paper mill, with which it makes ex-
periments of value to the Bureau of
Printing and Engraving, various
other governmental agencies and the
American paper industry. For this
work certain amount of papar pulp
is required. This often is produced
from scrap or waste paper from the
Department of Commerce and the
Bureau of Standards itself. The pa
per produced as result of the per-
formance of some experimnts is
utilized by the bureau as mimeo-
graph and tabl;t paper. In other
words, the bureau uses waste by
products to produce by-product pa
per for its own use.

as interest and dividends on securities
owned which, added to the net rail-
way operating income, constitutes
what is known as gross income.
There are certain fixed charges, how
ever, which must be paid before the
net income is established, chief
among these being interest on the
bonds and the rental of leased lines. =
after making deductions for interest
and rentals, the railroads, instead Of
having a net income of 3.31 per cent
in 1921, had no net income at all.
The statement deals with the rail-
roads as a group, covering the entire
country. As matter of fact, and
this is pointed out in Mr.. Markham's
statement, some railroads Jared bet
ter than others, in the same way, Mr..
Markham says, that some business
men and farmers Jared better than
others" According to the Illinois
Central, foresighted management,
preferable location, superior machin-
cry with which to work and the like
are elements which have their influ-
tnce in the showing made by a rail-
road as they have in every other bu-
siness enterprise. ~
The case is summarized in these
words:
"The railroads cannot serve the
public adequately unless they are
able to enlarge and improve their
properties as the requiremnts of the
country for transportation service
develop. In order for the railroads
to grow, their securities must be at
tractive to investors, for the funds
they receive from the issuance of Sc
cdrities are used in improving their
operties.-Jackson Miss. News.)

the camp school is an auxiliary. The

Major F. l.. Beals, U. S. A., COM
manding the camp, is in personal
touch with all boys under his charge.
They respect and admire him as
leader of the highest calibre, a friend
and counsellor rather than a stern
unapproachable commander. His
long experience in boy education has
made him an ideal head for such
big, democratic American institution,
and he is never too busy to go thoro-

CAMP ROOSEVELT
SCHOOL FOR BOYS

Twenty-Five dollars for three weeks
is what it costs boy to attend Camp
Roosevelt, conducted under the aus
pices of the Chicago Board of Educa-
tion, near LaPorte, Indiana, and open
to boys during the summer from all
parts of the country. Enrollments
early in May indicate the national
reputation this camp has built up,
and applications and inquiries are
pouring into the Headquarters from
every state in the Union. The rea-
son is plain. II is open to any Am
erican boy of good character from
the age of IL years up. While
scores of private vacation camps ex-
list with the exclusive memberships
and tuition running into the hun
dreds of dollars, Camp Roosevelt con-
tinues to operate on the pre-war basis
of little over dollar day per ca
det. The balance necessary for the
maintenance of this large institu-
tion is supplied by public spirited Chi
cago citizens. who yearly contribute
the needed funds.
The camp is divided into three sec
tions, to meet the differing needs OF
the boys. The summer school divi-

which is in charge. of the program
for the annual convention of the AS

World, to be held here June IL to Is.
According to Homer j. Buckley, of

advertising succeeds must have:
A product that will SELL

be sold.
The finest kind of administration
obtainable.

Either in the case of the merchant
or the manufacturer, you can not
separate the essential qualities of the
service rendered from the advertising
any more than you could unscramble

coal, iron and steel. agricultural pro-
duets and other basic materials, ex-

order that the President might Sc
cure voluntary pledges from the rail-

President that the country was only
at the beginning of rising tide Of

greatly augmented revenue into the
Golfers of the railroads. Ths pres
ent high rates, the President said,
were the most important barriers to
