A large revenue was derived in system of organised collection and treat ment of camp waste for the prime purpose of recovering the valuable fats and glycerine.
Nearly every kind of industrial waste can be treated successfully from a commercial point of view.

With regard to coal, we require to go very carefully into the economy of fuel to find out how the greatest amount of heat can be extracted and to discover how its by-products can be utilised to the greatest and most useful ad- vantage. The open fire, with its flaming gaseous coal, in many millions of British homes. sends up the chimney an incalable amount of wealth in the form of wasted by-products.
THE ECONOMICAL WAY WITH

In a lecture on "Coal Conser- vation at the British Scientific Products Exhibition Professor Armstrong favoured the "
pro- duction of smokeless fuel to abol- ish the smoke nuisance and to- save the valuable volatile products, wasted in burning raw coal."

The mighty part played by the British Empire between August 4, 1914, and November 15, 1918. is made clear by the following

The output of artillery equip- ment was such that. in a few weeks. the heavy losses due to the German offensive in March had been made good and, at the end of that offensive, the Army in France had 700 more guns, include ing trench howitzers, than it had on the opening of the offensive in
March.
Dealing with the surrender of the German Navy, the report says it was but the culmination of a process of demoralisation which had been going on in the German Navy as a result of its impotenc". It is added:-
It began with a rising when the men realized carly in the of 191k that, having autumn experienced at the battle of Jet- land the power of the Grand Fleet, they were to be called upon as a forlorn hope to face another ordeal from which thes feared the High

It would, I think, be difficult to find a workshop or factory in the country where a considerable amount of waste does not take place daily, the greater part of which, given efficient supervision is preventable.
