ENLIGHTENING NEWS
Tobacco Substitutes.
The Leinziger Volkszeitung (Oct.
15) referring to the list of “fine herbs“
which are used for war tobacco,
states that, besides hops, the latest
addition to the list, rose, lime, sun
flower, artichoke, sour, sweet, and
mahaleb cherry leaf, are much-sought
after articles for the substitute tobac
co manufacture.
Fallen Leaves as Fodder.
The Vienna Zeit (Oct. 17) draws at
tention to a recommendation that fall
en leaves should be used as a sub
stitute for chaff in feeding horses and
cattle, to help out the great shortage
of straw and other fodders.
_
Expropriation and Declaration of
Nettles.
The Volksfreund (Oct. 3) says that,
as the question of the use of stinging
nettles in the textile industry may be!
i regarded as solved, the cultivation of
nettles has been placed on a new foot
| ing.
• An order published on October 2
, expropriates collected nettle stems,
I nettle fibers, and spun yarns, as well!
j as waste of these articles. An axcep
tion is made for supplies required for
, contracts for the army or navy. The
order also provides for the declaration
I of stocks of these articles.”
Collection of Peat Fiber.
The Munchner Neueste Nachrichten
(Oct. 7) appeals on the grounds of war
necessity, owing to the shortage of cot
ton, for the collecting of peat fiber,
particularly that of the cotton-grass
sheath. It states that this is easily
found, and gives the names of the dis
tricts where it occurs, suggesting that
it can quite well be collected by chil
dren. Mk. 25 will be paid for every
cubic meter of fiber.
Expropriation of Pewter Apparatus in
Austria.
The Vienna Neue Freie Presse (Oct.
9) reports that, according to an order
of the ministry of national defense, all
pewter tubes, connections, mountings,
and similar parts of beer pressing and
beer drawing apparatus in the possess
ion of manufacturers and dealers, and
also of industrial concerns, are appro
^rlatejJifor war purposes, whether they
are in use or not.
Shortage of Agricultural Machinery.
It is becoming more and more diffi
cult, says the Deutsche Tageszeitung
(Oct. 8), for the war economy offices,
whose task it is to promote agricul
tural production, to supply sufficient
machinery and implements. An offi
cial announcement attributes this to
1 the lack of sufficient skilled work
men, and blames the subordinate of
fices for not complying with the rules
for the release of such skilled work
men from the army.
“The Machinery Protection union
replies to this announcement that the
authorities are making the mistake of
supposing that amalgamation and cen
tralization of the manufacture of ma
chinery can secure a sufficient supply
of machinery for the farmers. All
company interference with the regula
tion of trade in these machines should'
be avoided. The requirements in dir
ferent districts vary so greatly that a
supply from one office only is out of
the question. Expert knowledge is j
needed, and acquaintance with local
agricultural conditions.
“A requisition and distribution of
the machines in existence would be
impracticable. One measure, however,
“vvvuoui j ( a. .| tu get \;ut i ctiuuiu
statistics for the production of agri
cultural machinery in Germany. This
would afford a sufficiently clear no
tion as to the kinds of machinery in
which production has advanced or de
clined. What kinds at the present
time are most urgently needed and
most difficult to be had are known,
and the manufacture of these must
take the first place. But such an im
portant task can not be carried out by
any office as a kind of secondary
work.” . (
Restricted Heating of Trains.
According to the Vienna Neue Freie
Presse (Oct. 11) increasing difficul
ties in coal supply will have the effect
of reducing the heating of railway car
riages during the winter months. Pas
sengers are therefore urged to provide ,
themselves with warm clothing for
railway journeys. ,

Delivery of Flax. <
The Deutsche Tageszeitung (Sept. |
19) points out that in order to get (
the full use out of the fibers, which in t
war-economic interests is so neces- |
sary, flax straw must not be thrashed. I
.
and that the prescribed prices can not
be paid for thrashed flax. The use of
rippling* coombs is strongly recom
mended. For flax straw, rippled and
packed according to regulations. 50
pfennig per ctr. over the fixed price,
according to quality, will be paid
Difficulty in Obtaining Saucepans.
To the list of articles recommended
ror use during the war, but of which
the stocks are unable to meet the de
mand, the Vossische Zeitung (Oct. 12)
adds the saucepan.
"In order to economize in gas, fire
less cookers have been strongly rec
ommended. It does not matter so
much that the boxes themselves are
bard to procure, as they are too dear
for most housewives, who prefer to
make them themselves. They can not,
however, make the saucepans to fit
Into them, which must be thickly en
ameled and without side handles. They
have surrendered their aluminum
saucepans, and the demand for substi
tutes for these is so great that they
are unobtainable. One lady was re
fused saucepans at the factory where
she had originally purchased her cook
ing box and aluminum saucepans on
the ground that they could not be sold
without the box. This behavior on the
part of a leading firm to an old cus
tomer deserves a public censure.”
Paper Piping as Substitutes for Lead
en and Copper Pipes.
The Centraalblad der Bouwbedrlj
ven (Oct. 13) reports that successful
experiments have been made recently
in Germany with piping manufactured
chiefly of paper. It has been proved
that paper pipes have three or four
times as much power of resistance
against interior pressure as leaden
piping, and weigh only about one-ninth
as much. They have only about one
sixth of the solidarity of copper pipes,
and one-seventh of their weight. Pa
per piping equal in weight to copper
pipes would be equal to them in sol
idarity also. If the paper pies are
well glued they should have sufficient
power of resistance to be used as gas
pipes.
Increased Petroleum Ration Impossible
The Vossische Zeitung (Oct. 1)
states that hopes of a more generous
supply of petroleum this winter will
not be fulfilled.
The requirements of the army and
navy in lubricating and fuel oils is
greater than ever before. The con
siderably augmented import of petro
leum, resulting from the working of
the Rumanian oil wells, will not, there
fore. allow of its use as lighting oil.
The price of lighting oil for the next
few months is still under considera
tion. A moderate increase in conse
quence of the decreased manufacture
is impossible.
Petroleum Shortage Complaints.
The Munchener Post (Oct. 13)
states that letters pointing out the
lack of petroleum are increasing, and
in publishing the following extract ex
horts those responsible to do their
duty:
“A workman’s wife describes the
state of affairs as follows: Things are
wretched with us. We have no gas
and no other kind of light. I have
been able to obtain 2 liters of petro
leum since September. Although 1
burn a light only in the kitchen, the
oil was used up on October 4. Now
we have no more light, and life is un
bearable. My husband comes home at
7:30 p. m., my daughter from business
at 8, and there is no light! It is the
same with all the inhabitants of our
house. Something *v-«st he ', -ne. Wc
can not continue to exist lik- this.”
Prohibition of Central Heating in
Dresden.
The Leipziwer Volkszeitung (Oct.
15) says that the Conservative depu
ties in the Saxon Landtag have sub
mitted the following interpellation on
the coal question:
"Is the state government aware that
the Dresden municipal council, by an
srder on October 11, has prohibited
:he use of central heating installations
In households until further notice?
SVhat does the government intend to
lo to counteract this measure, which
threatens to injure the health of many
>f the Dresden people?”
^0,000 Hamburg Families Unsupplied.
The Hamburger Fremdenblatt (Oct
L6) contains an article entitled “Traf
ice conveniences or unheated rooms?”
;o the following effect:
‘‘The stoppage of the Alster steam
ihipping has created dissatisfaction on
nany sides. We will not discuss the
eason why the Alster Steamship Co.
las not procured coke, if, as is stated
>n other sides, there is plenty of coke
o be had. We also do not fail to rec
ignlze the difficulties ensuing in a
own like Hamburg through the loss of
ransport facilities such as the Alster
Company offered, and the consequent
pressure on the already overburdened
tramway system In peace time.
"The supplying of households with
coal seems to us more important than
the providing of transport facilities.
Everyone would rather walk to busi
ness than ride and put up with un
warmed rooms in consequence.
“At present there are in Hamburg
70,000 households unprovided with
coal, among them households with cen
tral heating, requiring kitchen coal.
A reserve for the use of small con
sumers is absolutely necessary, even <
If the tramways and the overhead rail
way have to suffer It is to be hoped
that these concerns will not need to
be restricted, but should it happen
each one must tell himself that it Is
easier to dispense with traffic conven
iences, even with traffic necessities,
than to find oneself for weeks with an
unwarmed dwelling.”
Coal Distribution in Berlin.
The Vossische Zeitung (Sept. 30)
reports that the Greater Berlin Coal
Association hopes that the distribu
tion of coal in Berlin, further coupons
for which become valid from October
1, will be followed about January by
a new coal card guaranteeing equit
able distribution of the supplies then
available for the rest of the winter.
Meanwhile, strict economy being nec
essary, an order has been issued pro
hibiting the use of coal in Greater Ber
lin for heating purposes until October
15.
‘Thereafter the temperature of a
room may not be heated to exceed 80
degrees Celsius. For central heating
installations coal may be used only
from 11 a. m. on Fridays until midday
on Sundays. These conditions do not
apply to industrial kitchens, public
baths, schools, factories, baths, hospi
tals, and convalescent homes.
Churches will receive one-fourth of
the amount consumed by them be
tween March 31, 1916, and April 1,
1917. Pleasure resorts may receive no
coal at all without special permission
from the Greater Berlin coal office.
Special cards may be issued in cases
where exemption from the order ap
pears advisable to the coal associa
tion.”
Coal for Vienna Poor.
The Neue Freie Presse (Oct. 13)
points out that, while arrangements
have ben made to assure to everyone
the absolutely necessary quantity
fuel on production of the coal car .
there are thousands for whom the coal
question is not merely one of supply,
but of money.
“There are thousands upon thusands
in our midst,” says the paper, "who,
in spite of the cards, must freeze with
their children, because they have not
the means to pay for coal.
“The movement for providing free
bread to the Vienna poor is now in
cluding in its program the supply of
tickets for free coal.
“An appeal is made for public su j
I port in providing funds for this pur
pose.”
