SAVE WASTE PAPER
FOR FURTHER USE
Scraps of Paper May Be Means
of Staying Destruction of
Americas Forests

ATLANTA, July 12.-Scraps
of paper, in a real, and not in a d.
plomatic sense, may be the means
of staying the. destruction of Ameri-
cas- forests, provided they are saved
and used, and not destroyed, in the
opinion of Atlanta publishers.
Hundreds of thousands of acres
of forest lands are every year being
denuded to provide the American
people with all varieties of paper
and paper products. The wastepa-
per industry of America, it is point
ed out, is helping to save some OF
these trees by gathering the scraps
an cling them mack to paper
manu1~st urers. They are selling
S50,000,000 gorth of the waste a
year to paper n4a IS. This repre-
sents, it is pointed o. here, about
two million tons of paber, or the
equivalent of the pulp, from
100000 acres of timber lana.
Waste paper is made over into
new paper or paper products. Prob
ably all but small part of the pa
per made is thrown away after it
has served its temporary purpose as
printing, writing or wrapping ma
terial. Most of it could be saved
and used again thereby reducing the
drain upon the forests to MIN
mum.
"As a patriotic service we should
strive to have our waste paper
turned back into the channels Of
paper productions" said one Atlanta
publisher.

Kernochan or his daughter seem to

In fact, people told me that it was
Kernochan's habit to engage in a
match with any newcomer to the
hotel, and then praise the strang-
er's play to Vantine, who would
promptly badger him into a match

over on one side, burying my face
in the downy pillow, to hide from
the obseqious waiter the sudden
mirth that had overwhelmed me.
The lifting, ten minutes ago, of
the telephone that stood on a table
by my bed, had been enough to
wake into activity not merely this
man, but half dozen other, all of
whose energies and thoughts had
been directed toward the satisfac-
ton of my wants. Oh, tell you,
/ who have known direct poverty,
that luxurious ease is worth the
sacrifice if any principle.
And | should know! Had | not
followed the path of honor across
a bloody field in France, to learn
that honor Knocked me? Had l not
adhered to all those righteous rules
which the sttong have laid down
for the enslavement of the weak,
and seen that adherence lead me

from tenement to slum, and from
slum to the edge of the grave?
Honor had brought me starva-

And yet the lying world gave It's
