Rothrock,Yice President of the Legion AuxIhary o f t he State, and Miss Kennedy, Superintendent of WeHarework at Hospital No. 49, Twentyfourth and Gray's Ferry .avenue,Philadelphia, Pa.Mrs. Rothrock gave some startling facts regarding the wonderfulwork t he Auxil iary has been ableto accompl ish, in spite of the limited finances available.They have gladdened th e hear tof many of the "boys" at Oteen,N. C., by their t ime ly g if ts ofc lo th ing and money .Last Christmas they sent everyboy there a box conta ining many

useful articles, supplied by t he v arious units of the Auxiliarythroughout the State.Mis s Donne ll y gave a clear,concise statement of facts as theyexist in the Government Hospitalstoday. Perhaps the most startlingfact was tha t the Government doeshospitalize all veterans of any war,but that it does not supply clothing for any of these veterans. Someof the men, of c our se , r ec ei vecompensation, but 111 the lastmonth 69 new mental cases havebeen admitted at Gray's Ferryavenue, none of whom have a nycompensa ti on wha teve r. Thispresents a very difficult problem,as the \VeHare workers tr y totreat all patients alike, as anypartiality shown causes discontentamong the patients.After listening to such stirringtalk everyone f el t a deeper responsibility to the disabled veterans.Inasmuch as th e Legion o f Nar ber th has pledged25 per cent. ofall i nc ome t o b e u se d in Vl/eHarework among the disabled veterans,the best way for the good peopleof Narberth t o s how their apprec ia t ion o f our efforts to help thedisabled is to suppo rt the Legions how on April 24 and 25.Le t our slogan in Narberth be,"Support the Legion Show."

REAL CONSERVATIONDuring the last 15 years practically all the larger chestnut t rees in,Southern Pennsylvania have beenkilled by the chestnut blight. Withthe utilization of all t he chestnuttrees of commercial size for staves,lath and lumber, there have resultedmanybig sawdust piles. These sawdust piles contain enormous quantities of wood substance that wereformerly burned of left to r ot .This enormous wastage o f woodsubstance was called to the attentiono f Professor T. T. Aut en , o f t heSta te Forest School, at Mt. Alto,who, with the s tudents in organic

chemistry, began to develop meansof using the sawdust. As a r esul tof their investigations they havemade a considerable number of commercial chemical products from thesawdust, The products that havealready been made are a sweepingcompound, tannin. nitro cellulose,artificial s ilk, celluloid, collodion,acetate acid, acetone, methyl alcohol,chloralhydrate and isopropyl alcohoL All these p ro du ct s a re n owon exhibition at-the State ForestSchool at r.11.
