BABIES HELP PAY FOR WAR Even Talcum Powder Has Been Levied Upon to Meet Expenditures Due The postbellum H. C. L. has bit the baliles ; = In the Home Sector William G. Shepherd says: “About $2.000,000 will go into Uncle Sam's cdffers from the pockets and purses of soda water drinkers in 1920, Folks who like bowling or billlards or pool will give about a million and a half to Uncle Sam. People who play cards will give him two and a quarter millions. Automobiles and motofeycies will bring him In 50 cents a head from the whole 108,000, 000 of us. We'll give hiln about 885 000000 for golug to theaters and mov-

“Every one of the 106,000,000 of us, ‘indeed, will give Uncle Sam an aver age of two cents a day, directly, for pleasure and convenlences, with bahy paying tribute for his talcum powder, mother and sister paying mtzute for their perfumes, fathér paying tribute Jor hls cigarettes and athletic club dues, all the kids paying tribute for the movies and their trips to the corner soda fountain, - ;

. “The war did it all, too. We're paying just ten times more to Uncle Sam in iofernal revenue this year than we did in 1914, We pald so little then—-one-ténth of 7% cents a day—and we paid 1t so Indirectly that few of us renlized that there really was such a person in -the world as Uncle Sam. At last the old party has found us. Since then a lot of us have fought and dled for him. And If he's worth dying for he's worth supporting.” : ol : :

MAY DEVELOP GUM MARKET Opening of Mesopotamia to . Civilization Likely to Add Largely to the . ‘- Worid’s Supply. As law and order come into the wild and unsettled mountains of Mesopotamia, especially when new roads and the eventual - rallway connect the northern Kurdish country around Mosul with the rest of the world, many A now useless tree and shrub will doubtless be put to service as a contributor of gum. The gums of Mesopotamia have many commercial uses, and the unsystematic tapping and trading that now brings the product on. pack- animals to Suleimanaya, where merchants: buy it from the Kurds and sell it again to other merchants in Bagdad, is a mere suggestion of the industry tfat may be developed by enterprising promoters who may have observed the extent of this natural resource in Mesopotamia and looked further afield than Aleppo and Bagdad for markets. Now that British oecupation has opened the land to western ideas, it would not be surprising If the gum industry grew to be a source of considerable national wealth, and an important factor In creating a new Mesopotamia.

Lengthening Life of Silk Stocking. “No economies are small,” says a French proverb, and the professional stocking mender's job is evidence of thrift as understood by the Parisienne, “Here,” sald one of the craft, “are 30 pairs of silk stockings which have been through my hands more times than I can count, and look at them.” They were patched and darned till there was little of the original left, but as Elise remarked, “with boots they still make an effect!” Before the war madame pald three half-pence per pair to her mender and provided the thread; now she gives fourpence or fivepenee and expects miracles of endurance from the fragile web. Where the mender formerly spent ten minutes she now must devote an hour to some of these stockings, and it is: difficult to see how she gets a lving. But madame’s motto is, “Throw nothing away,” and she lives up to it.

Plastic Dressing for Wounds. Industrial plants are now using the Ambrine treatment for burns, scalds, and all surface wounds which proved very successful for casualties Incurred In the world war. The dressing is a compound of wax and resins, and is solid when cold. It is heated to about 150 degrees Fahrenheit and applied by means of a speinl atomizer, or it can be generally daubed on with a soft brush. A plastic dressing: impervious to air, is thus formed, which does not adhere to the wound and which promotes the healing process without appreciable contrace tion. Disfigurement and scars are prevented to a greater extent than was possible under the old methods. -

Bold Chinese Bandits. Bands of kidnapers recently have caused much alarm in Tenchowfy, Shantung, China. Operating in groups of from 30 to 50 they have carried away and held for ransom wealthy Chinese for whom they have obtained as much ‘as $50,000 in some cases. Ten citizens were kidraped in October. Promises to pay ransoms have been exacted by torture. Troops have tried to capture the bandits, but have feiled. It is believed the kidnapers came from Dalny, crossing the Guilf of Pechili in -boats in which they escaped with their captives. ; W - Spanish Licorice Industry." ‘ The manufacture of licorice extract and paste is an important Spanish industry. This is a comparatively new industry, as formerly the root was. exported unmanufactured.
