Food Waste in u. S.
Is $7OO,OOO,OOO a Year

Chicago of the United
States waste $700,000,000 In foodstuffs
annually, 1t was shown in survey
completed by A. J. Authenrleth Of the
Middle West Utilities company, which
was made public recently. Anthem
rieth is vice president in charge Of
the ice engineering for the company.
His figures showed that each fam
lily wasted about 10 cents worth Of
food daily by spollage, or an equiva-
lent of $35 annually. This waste was
not due to carelessness, but rather to
want of proper refrlgeratlng facili-
ties, he said.
"Only 55 per cent Of the 2S,750,O00
American homes have refrigerators,
and but 20 per cent of them use ice
the year round," Authenrieth found.
"Present-day diet Is composed chief
ly of highly perishabe foods-green
vegetables, fresh fruits, meat and
dairy products" he said. "These
foods contain high percentage of
moisture and are subject to quick
spoilage. Refrigeration has become n
necessity in the name of economy, be-
cause a constant temperature of 45
degrees or less Is required to delay
deterioration"

GREAT STONE FACE
IN PERIL, Is SAVED
Friends of Literary Land
mark Buy Tract.

Concord, N. H.-A threat of despoil-
ment has brought lovers of nature TO
the rescue of the great stone face
age-old sculpture of nature made IA
nous by Hawthorne, Lowell and WEEP
ster.
The movement Of lumbermen toward
the wooded slopes of Franconia notch,
above which the Old Man of the Noun
tain keeps his lone watch from lofty
bluff. and the possibility that quarry
men might come to blast granite from
the mountain walls near the land
mark have been checked by steps to
purchase and set aside for the public
5000 acres of forest land in the notch
surrounding the great stone face.
100000 In Two Gifts.
In the effort are allied the state OF
New Hampshire, the Society for Pro-
lection of New Hampshire Forests
the American Nature association and
numerous individuals. The state has
appropriated 100000 of the $5OO,0Oo
asked for the land; James ]. Storrow,
late Boston banker, left another $780,
600 for the fund, and nationwide
campaign Is in progress to obtain
100000 from private contributors,
each of whom is offered opportunity
to name forest tree In the region.
The other 100000 would be paid out
of revenue on concessions.
Acquisition of the region for pre-
serve will prevent the denuding of
its hillsides and will avert danger of
displacement of any part of the pro-
file of the great stone face from blasts
of quarrymen.
1t was in 1905 that workmen, build
ing the first rough road through
Franconia notch, discovered the great
stone face towering 1000 feet above
them.
Later Hawthorne in his story, "The
Great Stone Face" wrote: ut seems
as If an enormous giant or Titan had
sculptured his own likeness on the
precipice. Its fast lips, IL
they could have spoken, would have
rolled their thunder accents from one
end of the valley to the other"
Daniel Webster, native of the vicin-
ity, said: Cup in the mountains of
New Hampshire God Almighty has
hung out a sign to show that there
He makes men,"
Other Beauty Spots Near BY.
Close to the face are the tlume,
great chasm in the granite wall of the
notch; the pool, Echo lake and Pro
file lake, and, high on Mount Cannon,
Lonesome lake.
In the nationwide appeal for aid
in preserving the famous profile one of
the first to respond was Mrs. Ellen
e. Butterfield of Milwaukee, whose
families for several generations were
neighbors of the Old Man.
"My mother, Angelina Knapp Full
Ter, was born in Franconia, N. H., and
my grandfather, Clark Knapp, wls
one Of the early hotelkeepers in the
White mountain region" she relates
"He entertained such celebrities as
/ Jenny Lind, the Siamese twins, p. II

SMUGGLERS COST
u. S. MILLIONS
Secret Service Unable to Stop
Illicit Traffic.

Washington. Unset diamonds
worth at least $50,G0O,000 are being
struggled into the United States this
year by gang of international snug
glers. The government of this coun-
try will be swindled out Of $l0,0OOOO0
duty due on the gems. Skilled Ameri-
can secret service agents have been
sent to Antwerp, Belgium, headquar-
tiers of the gang, to try to capture the
smugglers.
The smuggler gang has been in OPP
Grafton for several years, 1t has just
been disclosed. Treasury officials In
Washington have obtained no clews
that would warrant arrests In the
course of their investigations.
The gang, 1t Is asserted, guarantees
to deliver smuggled diamonds to pur-
chasers in New York city. 1t even
posts forfelts equal to the value of
the gems to assure purchasers that
they will not lose their money should
the smugglers be captured and the
gems confiscated.
Government officials admit that the
manner in which the diamonds are
smuggled into this country is n mys-
terry they have been unable to solve.
Customs inspectors seize on an aver
age of $15O,OOO worth of struggled
gems a year, 1t is explained, but 1t Is
doubtful If any of these gems were
taken from agents Of the Antwerp
band. The directors of the interna-
tlonal gang are believed to be Ameri-
cans, and secret service agents are
working day and night in their anx'
iety to end the gangs operations.
