With Wednesday set as day in the city's waste paper salvage drive, the goal of 5,000,000 pounds set by the salvage for victory committee has already bpen exceeded through heavy collec tions the past two days. But every effort will be made to make Wednesday's collections surpass any previous day's effort.

"Although Minneapolis has gone over the top, every extra scrap of paper that can be collected is still vital to the war effort," Paul C. LaBlant, chairman of the salvage committee, asserted. "Everyone going to work Wednesday morning is reminded to clear out every desk, every filing cabinet, and every other place where waste paper may be stored, to add to the salvage collection." Aim of the committee is to win for Minneapolis the honor of having the highest per capita waste paper collection in the nation. Madison county, Montana, with a population of only 4,962, now leads the nation in per capita collection, with a contribution record of 30 pounds per person. This record was made despite handicaps of mountainous territory and transportation difficulties due to the fact collection centers are miles from a railroad.

DO IMPORTANT PEOPLE ALWAYS TA 1 OAi l-T- i i ON FACTORY OK Adverse Committee Report Hinted Request of Modern Box Makers, 5720 Cedar avenue, for a special permit to allow them to continue operation of their factory In a residential area until the war is over, met opposition from members of the city council roads and bridges committee late Tuesday. The committee withheld decision until the city planning commission acts on the same request Thursday, but members indicated they intended to oppose it. It was expected the committee would bring before the council Friday a report recommending denial of the firm's request. The box factory was found guil ty in municipal court some time ago of violating the zoning ordi nance by operating an industry in an area restricted to residential property, and on appeal to the supreme court the conviction was affirmed.

Arnold Guesmer, attorney who appeared for the factory, urged granting of the special permit on the ground the firm was engaged in essential war work, interruption of which would injure the war effort. The firm has been making boxes for military use. Guesmer said the factory was now engaged in making stay braces for airplanes and has been exclusively engaged in war work since the fall of 1912. Alderman William A. Hoppe said this was In error, asserting that up to March, 19U, the factory had manufactured beer shells for a St.

Paul brewery. He said the firm also has been engaged In civilian manufacture of wooden dust pans. Both Hoppe and Alderman J. W. Straiten, council representative of the Seventh ward.

In which the factory is located, opposed granting the special permit. which came before the committee on an appeal from a refusal by City Building Inspector John Nel son to grant such a permit. City Attorney Richard S. Wig- gin pointed out that the firm's manufacturing activity is not in conformity with the zoning ordinance. He said that more than a year ago he had suggested an arrangement by which the factory would agree to move at end of a year, but that nothing had come of this proposal.

He suggested to the committee that the factory be given no more time to move out. A score of residents of the neighborhood appeared to oppose granting the special permit. They complained of untight-lines about the noie from a fan and the smell of paint. Several nald paint odors set up eye Irritations. Among them were Olaf Jorgen- son.

Scouts in the Minneapolis area are fortunate in having two fine camps at nearby Lake Minnetonka which they can visit with a mini mum of travel time.

I've heard that if the black market were smashed completely we would have just about enough gas for our ordinary needs, and I certainly think we should all co-operate in trying to bring this about.

I For aside from other prerequr-sites, Miss Bregel, a bookkeeper, had the personal recommendation of a marine sergeant with 17 years service. Sgt. Arthur Rosett, Miss Breed's brother-in-law, enlisted in 1927 and ha served in Haiti, Nicaragua, China and the Aleutians, from which he recently returned.

First thing he did when he arrived in Benson, after greeting his wife and two-year-old daughter whom he had never seen, was to persuade his sister-in-law to join up with him. "It wasn't much of job," Rosett said. "All I had to do was tell her about the women I have seen serving in the marine corps, and hOiv iX she and other eligible women would join up, a lot of marines stationed against their will in this country would get a chance to fight." He also used glamor of the marine corps in his "sales talk," including a detailed account of how the marines managed to promote a fair election in Nicaragua. "It was a fairly common practice for natives to vote six or seven times in every election because records were so inadequate. But we solved that problem by dipping every person's hand in a bucket of mercurochrome after he voted." Sgt.

Rosett will have a chance to watch progress of his protege in boot camp at New River, for he expects to spend a short time there in advanced training.

HERE ARE THE ANSWERS: 1 Persons who look down on others always do so in the spirit of snobbishness and egotism. The well-adjusted, superior person does not look down on others. He takes his superiority naturally, just as the real leader takes his position naturally and without any personal flourish. The egotist and snob try to compensate lor their feelings of inferiority by looking down on others. One education is never completed.

Hosts of students do stop their education when they leave school, whether at the end of the eighth grade, of high school, or college, but they have failed to understand that school or college ca only start one on the road to education. I talked the other day to a highly educated business man and who said he ran away from home at the end of the fourth grade and "had never had a chance to get an education." If so, he had plainly discovered In childhood that school only starts your education, and he surely had kept going. The other day in a Chicago restaurant I heard two business men spend 30 minutes discussing the relative merits of baccardi and daiqueri cocktails. Lord Bacon said that when men meet to discuss an important question, they spend most of the time "talking about something else." I have found that both humble and great people like to talk about the things of everyday life clothes, babies, golf, husbands, wives, and the neighbor's demeanors and misdemeanors. Only on special occasions do they talk of poetry, art, philosophy, government, and things that are called "important.
