the motto of the meat packing in
dustry, and truer than ever be

to it, says the Institute of Amer

many unique and interesting uses
found for every part of the slaugh

The hides and bones long have
furnished important returns in
the shape of leathers und fertilise

important use also for medical
purposes. Blood is one of the
first important by-products, and
serum, for use in rcsea»~h work

puscles from the blood. In dry
forms the serum Is also used to
clear the composition used

Blood albumen is also used in
the manufacture of water-proof
glue for veneer work, aeroplane
wings and other .special uses.
Blood from which the fibrin has
been removed la employed to act

Old horses and mules In “active
service" today have an averago
age of 14 years, while in the nom
inal civil activities 11-year-old
animals are regarded a, beyond
the age of usefulness. And the
“oldsters" of the army herds,
whether In the cavalry, artillery
or transport amice, are still “go
ing strong.” In one case a 25-
year-old charger is still winning
blue ribbons for performances in
hl Thl a ««ret, the expert believes,
lies in regularity of diet, exer
cise, rest, grooming and all the
other cares with which the army
surrounds its animals in time of
peace. They estimate that a five
year average Increase In the use
ful life period of horses and
mules In the service has already
been proved, figuring that the 14-
year-olds of today will still be
fit for'active service two yean
from now. !

LONDON—London pan-handlers
are nothing If not article.
Tubes of blue grease-pain were
found in the pockets'of a robust
young man before the Westminister
police court a few days ago.
The policeman who arrested him
said that thla young artist had
smeared the grease over bis fay>,
taken a position outslda a tea-shop
and pleaded in piteous tones that he
was "blue with ,cold.*;
But perhaps the pavement artists
have developed their pr^feasion to
the highest efflolney. Every visitor
to London has eeett sketches in
yrtri-colored cbalk drawn on ,tha
sidewalks about the city. Besides
these sketches, a pitiable creature
stts Imploring: pasaerrby to "help
and ex-service man to live.”
But recent disclosures have loaf
these patrons of color much .of
their erstwhile popularity'/ Practi
cally all the sketches exhibited
come from one center ,and seldom
Is the mar. who sits beside them

The real author !■ a man with
some artistic gift, known as the
‘‘master.’' who draws several se
ries of sketches and lets them out
Jit a charge of $1 an evening. Tn
London, where the demand la
great .these "masters" have been
known to clear a profit of $18 and
$20 4n a single evening.
, But lessees can afford to pay
well for the M masterV product. In
Is estimated that they average
around $8 an evening.

No other equal area in the
