All over the town are slender white minarets that look like funereal shafts against the gray mountains. Hither, thither and yon are Moslem cemeteries, pictures of abandonment and d?so!ation. The headstones are toppled over, broken, leaning in every direction. The Moslems apparently do not pay much attention to their dead. The abandoned cemeteries are typical of the spirit of indifference and neuiigence which dominates the town. There is a saying in Bosnia, applied especially to a homely woman, that She is as unattractive and uninteresting as a Turkish cemetery The id quarter of the city is dirty and full of odors, but withal Is extraordinarily picturesque and color-fu- L Everywhere are labyrinths of bazaars, displaying fine copperware. silver filigree work, delicately made linens and laces, rugs and other oriental wares.

Gayly clad Moslem girls, with bright woolen scarfs over their heads, slide deftly in and out through the crowd.

Sawdust Is no longer considered a waste product Its many nses range from the manufacture of dolls to dynamite, according to a statement made by Axel n. Oxholm. director of the national committee on wtxxl utilization. Department of Commerce. About 10 per cent of the average sawlog represents sawdust produced In converting the raw material into lumber, Mr. Oxholm states. Heretofore this sawdust ha?, been considered as a waste produce, bat industry has spent millions of dollars In developing profitable uses for it.- Sawdust should, therefore, be termed nonutilized wood and tot waste, because it has important potential uses, the department contends. The 03 sawmills operating in Illinois are big producers of sawdust Formerly the United States imported large quantities of porcelain dolls from Europe, but this trade has now been replaced by a new doll industry, using wood flour instead of porcelain. More than 13.000 tons of wood flour are used in the manufacture of linoleum. It is also utilized in making oatmeal wall paper, artificial wood and other molded products. Over 7,000 tons of wood flour are used in the manufacture of dynamite. Although the United States possesses a greater variety of raw material for the manufacturing of wood flour 'than any other country, it Is still importing from Europe over of the total requirements. one-ftft- h ' THE UIN- 4 TRADE room Los Angeles, FOR SALE OR modern bungalow in For particulars inquire Calif. or Roosevelt, write Geo.
