Uio problem, it is declared, will noon

Importation of rags and paper pulp
in hIiiiI off by tho war and chcmionls
that enter into paper nro already
kyhiffh in price. Ulenchcs nro
practically out of the market, there
is on acuta pulp shortage and dyes
lined in paper-making hnvo ribon 1500
to 2000 per cent in rosl, with further
noroplaning in sight.
It is being predicted now that it

if tho war continues until tho itnmno

ored writing paper, innocent of
blench, takes its place. Newspaper,
too. if tho present mtuntion lasts
much longor, threatens to become- vol
low and take on n faded look duo to
tho lack of chcmionla used in its
manufacture.
Itnw Mnteriflln Out Off
I.inon, ootton nnd other rngn so
imperative in papormukinir of tho
best class, can no longer bo import
cd. This is the Hourco of n largo
part of the normal supply. The con
dition that exists at present is
unique since 1S01, with the exception
of two months, ten yonrs ngo, when
tho impoit of rags was shut off by
the government because of tho fear
of spreading bubonic plnguo. Kuril
rtn outnry wan raisud at that time
that tho embargo wns soon lifted.
Not only is thn supply of import
rags cut off, but the domestic prod
not is being snapped up by munition
makers, who nro nblo in this way, it
h said, to add to siipplieH of guncot
ton and other high cxploshes. This
makes it doubly difficult for the pn
pnrmnkoni and, indeed, impossible
for them to procure n supply. In
fact, the American Writing 1'npot
r-nmpnny, perlinp tho biggest cuu
ecru in the oountrv in the manufac
ture of fine papers, has been com
Veiled to shut down ten of its millfl
nt different points because of the im
poMsibility to procure mg nnd othor
essentials for ivspermnking.

was incorporated bore today, the

cording to its incoriioratoro, in to ap
dy the tost of efficient beincMs meth
od to administrative and go em-
mental activities and to co-operate
with public officers in promoting cf-
fioiency.
Announcement of the new undertaking-
was made by Dr. Frank J.
Goodnuw, president of Johns Hopkins
university, who will head the insti
tute's bontd of trustees, to consist
of lending busmen men nnd educat
ors. Tho organization, it in staled, will
be supported by voluntary contribu
tions and administrative exports will

non-pnrtisnn nnd businesslike point
of view tho prouoflses of government
nnd mnko constructive suggestions
for their improvement.
Tho first work will be in connection
with tho fcdornl government, but it
in hoped to e.xtond to Mate and local
governments, Dr. Goodnow Maid.
"Neither public officials nor the
mnss of citirens generally feel from
day to day a direct nnd immediate
concern in the saving of public mon
eys," Dr. (loodnow asvrted. "Just
because public business is not con
ducted for profit, there is inovitnbly
less constant nttention to the avoid-1
ance of waste than in a private con-
corn."
