THE COST—OF WASTE An 2 n fest statistician has esti ,hated that .petrol to the value of $250 .000 is lost daily through chives leev' ing 'their' engines running while the cars are at. rest, We talk a goof ,deal about ,waste; we pat ourselves on the back because we liave'discovered netheds of deal- ing with city refuse by turning it in ;to'manure or cement, while the tech- nical journals are'; full of new inch -1 tions for making use of so-called waste preclude, . " Yet we—Moet of us, atany rate— completely disregard the ,apettleing waste that' goes on in our everyday life, and it is only when Some statisti- cian. reduces such waste to dollars and cents that it dawns upon tis that we are not quite the careful, economical male we foudl:y believe ourselves to be. Turn Out the Lights. A year ago, When wheat went up to an unusually high figure, it was point- ed out that in London alone 2,000,000 loaves are wasted every week. People have gone backo the old wasteful Pre-war habit of buying more bread than they actually need. Then look at the lass of light. In any form of artificial lightilig by far the greater part of the energy con- sumed is wasted in the form of heat. The electric light itself gives only 10 per cent. of its energy value in light. But, apart from this, the waste caused by leaving lights burning when not actually required is colossal. In the ,natter of paraffin alone, one estimate puts the loss from careless- ness at 20,000,000 gallons yearly. This is for the British Isles, and does not include the rest of the world. Speaking of light calls td mind coal. English folk burn some 20,000,000 tons of coal yearly in their grates and ranges, of which a very large propor- tion goes up the chimneys in the form of smoke. It is reckoned that, if all tho old-fashioned grates were scrapped in favor of the hest modern inven- tione, they could gel more warmth frons half the amount. Here alone would be a saving of neanly'one hun- dred milifou dollars yearly. We all remember the nmetard king, tv ho sale .that his great income came not front' the mustard people ate, but from what they left upon their plates. It is equally certain that,the big divid- ends paid by soap factories do not come front the poap used so much as from the soap wasted. In towner days the careful house- wife bought ber soap for a year at one time, and hung it in a net in the kit- ( then. Soap dried in this way lasts twice as long as soap fresh from the factory. Big Hardwood Project. t" The sale of about 1,500 square mile,: of hardwood to the Ontario IIardwoods Go,, Limited, is about to be completed by the Lands and Forests, Department of the Ontario Government. As origin- ally drawn up, the agreement pro- vided that the company is to spend one million dollars on plant construction, open in 1928, and employ a minimum of 1,000 ,hands, paying the Ontario Government a total of $3 per thousand foot, ban., for birch and maple used ib the manufacture of veneer products, flooring, furniture and other hardwood products,. Their operations will neces- sitate the cutting of :about 25,000,000 feet of wood annually, the revenue to the Government being about $75,000 per year. The business is being nuanced by United States capital, the parent com- pany being the owners and operators of a number of mills across the border.

The man who was listed on the records as Ben Kinney, was distinctly an in - Y dividual. "That's the queerest case we ever hadhere at.

Maybe you heard 11e` and Dago Frank were in the net of breaking into the Western -Danish, Bank.

There had been quite a northern migration lately,, these late spring days. The last of the waterfowl had passed by now, but the northern mi- gration was not yet 'done. Ben thought about them as birds ef.,•passage, and the thought amused hint. And at the sight of a small, stooped figure advancing toward him up the railroad right-of-way he paus- ed, leaning on his pick. Because Ben had paused, for the first time in an hour, his two guards looked up to see what had attracted his attention. They saw what - seemed to then: a white-haired old wanderer of sixty years or more; but at first they were wholly at a loss to explain Ben's fascinated look of growing in- terest. As he paused to scrutinize the con- vict gang neither insolence nor fear, qne of which was certainly to be ex- pected, became manifest in his face. Both guards were held and amazed by the apparent fact that at the first scrutiny of the man's outline, his car- riage and his droll, wrinkled face, the prisoner Kinney.was moved and stir- red as if confronted by the risen dead. The old man himself halted, returning Kinney's stare. Kinney's mind seem- ed to be reaching, groping for some astonishing truth that eluded ,him. The old 'man ran, in' great strides, toward him. "My God, aren't you Ben Darby," he demanded. The convict answered him as from a great distance,- his voice cool and calm and with an infinite certainty. "0f course," he -said, "Of course I'm Darby." For' the moment that chance meet- ing thrilled all the spectators with the sense of monumental drama. The eon., vice stared; Howard, the' second guard, started absurdly, rather guilt-. ily, when the old man whirled toward him. "What aro you doing with Ben Darby in a convict. gang?" the old wanderer demanded. "What am I doln'?!"Howard's as- tonishment'gave'way to righteous in- dignation. "I'nh guardin' convicts, that's what I'm a -doth'." The old than .had turp,ed his eyes again to the tall, trembling• figure of Ben. • "Ben, Ben!" he said, evidently Forest staked him quietly, indicating Ezra Melville. o Again Ben's eyes studied the • droll, struggling with deep emotion.

I should say he was a very good friend, to take the trouble and time he has, in your behalf." Ben nodded. The explanation was beyond him. Forest leaned forward. "You re- member the Saskatchewan River?" Ben straightened, but the dint im- ages in his ehind were not clear enough for him to answer in the af- firmative. "I'm afraid not," Melville leaned forward in his ehair. "Ask hint if he remembers winning the canoe race at Lodge Pole—or the time he shot the Athabaska Rapids." Ben turned brightly to him, but slowly shook his head. "I can't rem- ember ever hearing of them before." "I think you would, in time," For- est remarked. ""They must have' been interesting experiences. Now what do these mean to you ?—Thunder Lake —Abner Darby—Edith Darby—Mac- Lean's College—" Abner Darby, It was curious what a flood of tenderness swept through Ben as, whispering, he repeated the name. Since his own was Darby, Ab- ner Darby was, in all probability, his father; but his reasoning intelligence, rather than his memory, told him so. The name of Edith Darby conjured up in his ,hind a childhood playmate— a girl` with towzied yellow curls and chubby, confiding little hands But these dim memory -pictures went no further: there were no later vi- sions of Edith as a young woman, blossoming with virgin beauty. The third name of the three, MacLean's College, called up no memories what- ever, "They'll strengthen in time, 'I9n sure," Forest told him. "Put them out of your mind, for now. Let it be blank." .The alienist again leaned.to- ward him, his eyes searching. There ensued an instant's pause, possessing a certain quality of suspense. Then Forest spoke quickly, sharply. "Wolf Darby l" In response a curious tremor passed over Ben's frame, giving in some de- gree the effect of a violent start: "Wolf Darby," he repeated hesitantly., "Why do you call me that?" "The very factthat you know the name refers to you, not someone else, shows that that blunted memory of yours has begun to function in some degree. Now think. What• -do you know about 'Wolf' Darby?" Ben tried in vain to find an answer, A whole world.;vf meaning lingered just beyond the' teat of his .groping mind; but always it eluded him. Fo-r est suddenly spoke to old Ezra Mel- ville;;and the latterputa small, card- board box into his hands. "I want you to see - what I have here," Forest told Ben. "They were your own- possessions once—you sent them yourself' to Abner Darby, your late father=and I Want you to see if you remember them." Evidently this waa the climax in the examination. Forest opened the box, taking therefrom a roll of white cotton. This he slowly unrolled, re- vealing two small, ribboned, ornaments of goid,or• bronze. Ben's starting .eyes' fastened on thein. No doubt"he re co gnized the m. „The Victoria Grose, of course," he said slowly, brokenly. "I won it, didn't I --the day—that day at Ypres. —the day my men were trapped—". Hip words faltered then.
