PAPER FROM VENEER WASTE
Possibilities in Material That Has
Hitherto Been Considered to Be
Without Value.

In the wood waste from veneer fac
tories the United States forest prod
iucts laboratory sees considerable raw
material suitable for the manufacture
Of high grndes of paper. The cores OF
mnny kinds of veneer logs, now used
In a large part for fuel. would make
excellent pulpwood. In addition. a
large part Of the clippings could be
turned Into pulp stock with profit.
Among the veneer woods whose
waste has paper-making possibilities
are red gum, yellow poplar. cotton.
wood, birch, tupelo. Eastwood and
beech. Many veneer factories cutting
these species are already within ship
ping distance Of pulp mills. In certain
other cases veneer factories are 40
grouped that they might furnish pulp
wood enough to warrant the erection
of centrally located mill. Other
economic factors being favorable, such
a mill could probably operate on n
daily supply Of veneer waste equ'va'
lent to 90 cords Of ordinary pulp
wood.-Scicntific American.

Is 1t not mere caddishness for one

that he wastes money. but who 1usti-
fies himself somewhat belligerently
by saying that he can afford to waste
money and that 1t is nobody's busi'

the same sort Of thing only because
he thinks the other people cannot
AFFORD the expenditures? Right down
