The Pennsylvania last® year took in $43,000 from selling 5,375,000 pounds of waste paper, which in other years would probably have been destroyed. Two year ago John L. Hanna was put in charge of collecting the "fly ing leaves" on the Pennsylvania lines from Pittsburgh to New York und from Washington to the Great Lakes. One doesn't usually think of a great railway system as finding something like a little gold mine in its own waste baskets. A central "baling plant" was es tablished In Philadelphia and an other near Pittsburgh. Electric machines are used, with three men to operate them, and 25,- 000 burlap sacks, filled with "rub bish," travel by the carload to these central points. The collection is made at least once a week. All wire fastenings and other metals and all heavy bindings are removed, so as to "cull out' any material not suitable for paper pulp. At Philadelphia alone 2,300,000 pounds of waste paper were taken in during 1918, and in June alone the intake came to 900,000 pounds. Jn ante-bellum days they made attar of roses from the garbage of Berlin. We don't need Germany any longer to tell us what to do i with things we used to throw away.
