 The Dispatchers went to town in a big way hauling down the colorS of Howard HumphrieS' Construction A for four points, putting them in 8 tie for first place. The "BomberS" [, however, were not push-overS and if Fred Drummond got better breaks the story might have been differ ent.
 The Service Appliance ran into a tartar in the shape of Bob Nelson's Statesmen and were knocked of for three points which tossed the s. A. out of the lead into tie with Sales B. Both teams were hitting them high. wide and handsome but Jack Murphy's anchorman .(?) was still punch drunk from bucking the night before on the trip home from Long Island with the K. of L. bas- ketball team. His car numbers are H. H. 99.
 Bus Wallace evidently took to heart what we said last week for he came across with 370 for three strings. What match this was be- tweeen the District Engineers and Meter Readers who rolled 1916 and 1644 respectively. The only man un- der 300 was our old pal Wimpy Beardslee. Guess we'll have to have his old pal of bachelor days Art Bray talk to him.

Gravely Weeks shook hands
with TAFT and Feeley, bowed low
and walked across the afternoon
Of the Golden Bowl.
The two stood looking after him
until ne had gone out the wide
doors which led 70 the lobby,
Feeley took a step forward, and
TAFT restrained him. "I'll take the
Job Of following him, Dannie. Is

Feeley nodded Sure. But don't

glimpsed Weeks going through
ono Of the swinging doors Of a

him and then, sporting him among
the sidewalk crowd, slowed down.
He followed Weeks for blocks,
grew increasingly astonished to
find that the man was heading
not for the poorer part Of town
but for the section where we're

that ne was in the block which

TAFT waited on the sidewalk
until Weeks should have time to

GERMAN GARBAGE CANS

In her desperate effort to prevent
waste of any materials which can possibly
be used. over again, Germany prohibits in
discriminate dumping of refuse into gar
bage cans A definite national plan has
been adopted for retaining waste ma
terials, ranging from rags and tinfoil to
human hair.
The whole country is divided into
collection districts. The salvaged ma
terials include such small items as bottle
tops and toothpaste tubes for conversion
into light metals. Human hair is con-
verted into felt and cardboard, and is also
used in carpet weaving.
Every bone, scrap of paper and bit of
iron is saved, and even coffee grounds are
treated for the extraction of the small
amounts of fat, wax and resin they con-
tain. Ordinarily garbage is scrupulously
saved to be sterilized and converted into
stock feed. sometimes mixed with fish
meal or small quantities of crushed bar
ley.
In short. Germany's need for raw ma
terials is so great as to make necessary
the salvage of everything possible With
all this frugality, the living conditions of
the mass of the German people are said to
be far below those of most other European
countries.
Considering that this situation exists
in time of peace, it is hard to believe that
Germany could long carry on a war with
strong nations which have far better
means of obtaining supplies from the out
side.
