PROFIT IN RUBBISH.
"There is no such thing ais rubbish" was the motto of tho Salvage Exhibition opened at the Savoy Hotel, London.
The startling, transformations which "waste" material may undergo was shown in:—Gramophone records made from "waste" cotton clippings; Treasury notes from scraps of'flannelette; paper from sawdust, couch-grass, and pea-pods; fertiliser from old boots; bicycle parts from tubing of "crashed" aeroplanes; gas-mask eye-pieces from old negatives. Then there was the "golden dustbin," with its v&luable contents, including cinders'/of which 3,300,000,t0ns are wasted annually in domestic refuse. The history of.old Army clothing, too, was traced from the tattered khaki garments to their regeneratiqn in the form of new, cloth.
