SIMPLE REASON FOR THRIFT Its Practice Necessary That There May-| Be Margin of Production Over Consumption. Is it not mere caddishness for one who can afford to buy and does buy silk skirts and silk stockings and automobiles, and who freely admits that he wastes money, but who justi- fles himself somewhat belligerently by saying that he can afford to waste | money, and that”it is nobody’s busi- ness, to object to other people doing the same sort of thing only because he thinks the other people .cannot afford the expenditures? Right down in our hearts we know that the con- cern is not all with the welfare of those other people who are wasting their money; it is really a matter of jealousy and of class distinction based on clothing—a feeling that these people have committed social misdemeanors, as when the cook du- plicated her mistress' hat. And any one who preaches thrift to people on the ground that they should not have what they lke for thelr money fs simply preaching nonsensical cant. He is really preaching revolution. 1f, then, thrift has no virtue in it- self, if every person within the limits of the iaw is entitled to spend what he can earn, and more than he can enrn if he can get away with it, 18 there any unmoral reason for thrift? The reason for thrift is plain, It s not necessary to talk about moral- ity. It is simply that if we do not have thrift we shall not mave & mar- gin of production over consumption— that Is, we shall not have capital. It we do not have capital we cannot have progress, for we shall have no means wherewith to make improvement in ex- isting facilities for production. There is thé ddnger of extravagance. And it 1s a very real danger.—Samuel Crow- ther, in the North American Review. 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- ucts laboratory sees considerable raw material suitable for the manufacture of high grades of paper. The cores of many 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 guw, yellow poplar, cotton- wood, birch, tupelo, basswood and beech. Many veneer factorles cutting these species are already within ship- ping distance of pulp mills. In certain other cases yeneer factories are so grouped that they might furnish pulp- wood enough to warrant the erection of a centrally located mill. Other economic fectors being favorable, such a mill could profitably operate on a dnily supply of veneer waste equiva- lent to 50 cords of ordinary pulp- ’ wood.—Sclentific American. “Roast” Handball Players. The execrations uttered by the in- dignant baseball fan against the un- lucky or awkward player in America are as gentle murmurs compared with the epithets hurled by the occupants of the gallery at the contestants in the game of handball in the playgrounds of Madrid, Spain. “Rogue!” “Thief!” “Convict!”- and “Idiot!” are some of the mild terms with which the play- ers are greeted when they miss a ball or send it back In an easy position for the opponent to play it. The reason for this excitement is the prevalent betting, in which the | women spectators participate as much ns the men. Professional bookmakers attend all matches, and their shouts of the odds for and against the play- ers are mixed with the cries of the gambling spectators, until the scenc resembles ;o bedlam.

With a season of metalic laces, gorgeous brocades, and Orien- tal knick-knacks, The ' Diamond B. W. Lakin returned this morning trom St. Paul where he conferred with the governor and other state of- ficials in regard to the Bemidji Park reservation matter. He was one of a committee sent there from the Civic and Commerce association. French Deputies Fear Plug Hat. ,An American legislature may be brought to. order and made to listen tp the chalr, as a rule, when the gavel 18 pounded loudly enough and continu- busly enough, but when the French chamber of deputies grows excited Horseshoe and even the balconies above it seem garbed a la masquer- ade fylly as much as the great stage itself. iy Far-fetched as it may seem, also, it is clearly noted that the garb of the audience changes according to the Opera, as it tries to be in harmony ~ith the style period and coloring apon the stage. . Thus, on the nights when capers about the vampish and 'gorgeous Carmen, the opera house glows with 1 bevy of gay scarlet and crimson -owns, brocaded mantles of rich red velvet, flecked with stripes of gold ind feather headpieces as brilliant as ever graced an Injun’s scalplock. The more mystic Wagnerian Op- sras call forth an audience clad in rather pastel ralment. Lavenders, cool greens and blues, and much white and black characterizes the Aress of the feminine audience. Few- er jewels are worn than on French or Italian Opera nights, and head nieces are fashioned of spun gold.or silver to resemble the Valkyries’ hel- met3. Never has there been a better year ! ‘or this society game of “keeping up with the stage.”” Fashion decrees that evening costume shall be as lux- uriant, bizarre, and colorful as pos- sible. The early autumn vogue for midnight velvets has been utterly Aouted by the midseason vogue for Aazzling color in brocades. satins, velvets and laces. . Most of the gowns dependef upon ‘re woven right into the fabrics. The clinging, princess type of gown is most in favor with both flapper and matron. Recent operas have brought forth an audience wearing a new veacock blue. Every box in the charmed circle contained at least one gown in this shade. Many of them were of heayy-napped velvets, but gold and Bilver-striped brocades were fn the lead. Debutantes shun the pretty pink, blue, yvellow, and green tulle crea- *fons of yester, opera year and choose white velvet, crystal cloths, or crys- tal embroidered nets. American beauty velvet cut a la princess with slinpers to match and silver hose is a favored combination of this season. This is the color that the debutante and young miss chooses most fre- auently for her evening wrap, also. 1f the wrap is of fur instead of a silk ar velvet, it is generally white chin- ~hilla or ermine lined, with shirred American bheauty satin. ° Wraps, by the way, are the big thing in evening costume this year. Many of the best-dressed women wear their gorgeous wraps thruout entire performances, and have their slippers and headpieces match the wrap, rather than the gown beneath. They are hardly, necessary for warmth, as might have been the case last year, for the “bare back™ dress is very passe, and this year it is only sleeves that are minus while a cov- ered throat is considered very chic, indeed. The carriage line draws as many nglers this year as the stage entrance. for the Oriental-colored wrapa of rich brocades and lustruous satins, the elittering tiaras and gorgeaous feather combs, jeweled slippers and priceless peltries make such a sight ab even the opera crowd has not pre- sented for some years back.

When the deputies have come to the state where they are pounding on desks with their canes and stand- ing-on chajrs to shout abuse at each other over intervening heads, and when blows. threaten and duels are in. the air, the president of the chamber opens the lower right hand corner of his desk—the deep drawer—and taKes out An anclept plug hat which must have been installed there shortly after the French revolution, to judge from its cut, and solemnly he rises to his feet, holding the hat out at arm's length. One by one the raging deputies notice the pose and the hat, and they fall silent before the threat, in fear that the hat In the president’s hand may be put on his head.
