AMERICAN TIMBERs.
Tests of Strength in Progress at Washington, D. C., and Elsewhere.

Tests of Strength in Progress at Washington, D. C., and Elsewhere.
 TimCer tests which shall determine the strength of the principal American tim bors used for construction purposes are now in progress at Washington, D. C., at Yale University, New Haven, Conn.,, at Purdue University. Lafayette, Ind. and at the University of California, Berkeley. Cal These tests are made under the direction of the Bureau of Forestry, and are for the benefit of lumbermen, con struction engineers. and scientific men who are interested in the strength Of dlf" ferent wood fibers. The Bureau of For estry plans from the results of its tests to make tables of the strength of different American woods to which the engineer may refer when he wishes to know what timbers to use for certain purposes. The tests will be in cross bending and break ing, compression with and against the grain, and shearing.
 No complete and satisfactory series of tests on large sticks of timber has ever been made in this country. Lumber manufacturers in the South and the Fa- ciflc Coast States are especially interested in this work, since they wish to know
 more about their product They have | contributed gratis much of the material 1 used in the tests.
 The chief timbers now being tested art
 the Southern pines and the red fir of the Pacific Coast. In the laboratories al Washington tests are now in progress or

New Y"rk's Latest Fsshion Decree
 Calls for Rosy Cheeks.
 New York Special.
 Local fashion has decreed that the days of interesting pallor for the com plexion are over. Faces must now have roseate flush. The horse show of 1903 has lighted flame in the cheeks and lips of women. and that flame Is fash- ions latest word to the women of New York. A flame for each cheek, a bright- ." 0"-"" For the lips, and a faint flame for the chin.
 ->ot within the memory of this genera uon-perhaps not since the days of wigs and patches-have women of irreproach- able character permitted themselves 70 dip quite so deeply and with quite so ob- Vious an effect into the pigments of commerce. It was the horse shows first public message to the sex mesdames.
 The beauty of the horse show in the social developments is that it presented evidence for all 1t was worth. There they were, the familiar faces in the fa- millar boxes and then 1t was seen that beauty's face had taken on a deeper car mine all around the great glittering ring and there was no getting away from the fact that fashion had spoken.
 Ihere are two ways oe using coSmet- les. You stain and polish a piece of mahogany to bring out its interior beau- ty That's one way. You paint a fence to disguise the wood That's the other way. The fashionable woman of former years treated her face as if 1t was a piece of mahogany. The fashionable wo- man of 1908 treats hers as a fence. It's great pity. too, for many of the faces under their fiorid disgui~e are pretty, some are dignified, a few almost patri- clan in a vivacious way. and nearly all intelligent. and stripped of conceal ment. would eclipse the faces of women gathered by chance anywhere In the world.
 By way of exception to prove the rule, the pale. indefinite face of Miss Alice Roosevelt shone from conspicuous box and offered unadorned the work of na- ture as contrast to the results of reck- less art. It is singular that among wom- en of society Miss Roosevelt Is as inno- cent of make up" as the palm of ones hand. Miss Roosevelt's indefinite pallor makes her an extreme type of the una dorned, just as her form, her features.

the strength was found to decrease 50 la 60 per cent. after the dry wood had be sn soaked several days in water. The fact, however. is not yet established and will have to be proved by further experiments. The timmbers tested are of the usual grades purchased in the market and are not selected pieces.

TURPENTINE INDUSTRY
OPERATIONS IN SOUTH ADOPT. ING NEW METHOD or E&-
 TRACTTNG Tv APEMTINE.
EAlvty-six Per Cent r --sase in the Product Through Use of Cup and Gutter hystem--Oid System of Boxing Trees Passing
 Out of Use.

The discovery of . .asw way of ex- xraettng turpeutine. made two years ago by Ds. Charles H. Herty. working under fbe direction of the Bureau of Forestry. is resulting in complete change of meth- ods by turpentine operators all over the South.
 ID Q bulletin published last spring by the Bureau of Forestry the claim was made that the experiments with the new cup and gutter system of turpentining had resulted In an increase over the old boxing system of % per cent in the amount of the product extracted. This figure has now been raised to more than 6 per cent. In other words, DF. HertyS system. when universally adopted in the South. as # Is bound to be sooner or later. win have raised the turpentine pro- auction of this country py more than a third. provided the same number of trees are used. Two years ISo when pr. Herty first made known his discoveries he put 20oo0 cups into operation Last year this figure was increased to about 400.000 This year a conservative esti- mate places the number of cups to be used at S.0O0,o The figures give some indication Of the rapidity with which tur- psntine operators are adopting the new system. The change of methods has been so rapid that the pottery company which undertook to supply operators with earth
 
 with It's orders and has been obliged to refuse contracts for over two million eups. It ig safe to say that the majority of the large turpentine operators In this country have given up the boxing sys- tenn and will extract their turpentine by means of cups and gutters
 The economic saving of this new dis covery is enormous. 1t not only causes great increase in the amount of tur- pantlno produced, but 1t Ia a most fua- portant factor in saving the pine forests of the South. Every one knows that trees from which turpentine has been extract sd by the old method boxed" timber 1t ts called--soon die from the wounds fYl- ficted on them. The cup and gutter sys- laEn. on the other hand. is not fatal to the life of the tree. and does very little Samage to the timber.
 IAe Bureau of Forestry has arranged Eo give the personal assistance of Dr. Herty to turpentine operators who de- sire to install the new system.

 The horse show has now progressed suf- nciently to enable some idea to be ob- tained of it's social atmosphere.

 The Thaws of Pittsburg. the spreckles of San Francisco, the Leeds of Chicago. and other westerners. have been taken up and promise to soon be prominent In the social life of the metropolis. The Vanderbilt clan, and especially the Alfred and Reginald Vanderbilts, and the Whit neys are forming almost little set of their own. and are entertaining each other and each others friends informally all the time.

THE MILITARY BOARD
OFFICERS DISC STATE
 GUARD AT CASAIoL.
Resignation of Captain Kennedy 3i the Third Starts Report That He is a Candidate for
 Colonel,

The Military Advisory Board of the State held a meeting yesterday morning at the Capitol at which questions relat- ing to the National Guard were discussed
 It was announced that. no action had been taken on any matters which might have come before the board.
 No orders were issued yesterday from the AdJutant Generals once as a result of the meeting. The Advisory Board Is composed of General W. W. Brandon. General R. Y. Ligon and General B. L. Holt
 An interesting piece of military news of the day was the announcement from Birmingham that Captain Hughes B. Kennedy of that city had resigned as ad- jutant of the Third Infantry. The resig- nation was sent direct to Lieutenant Col onel F. P. Mcconnell, commanding the Srd Infantry at Talladega. The Adjutant Generals oftice has not as yet been ad- vised of the resignation. It Is believed that Captain Kennedy resigned prepara. tory to entering the contest for the colo- nelcy of the 3rd. although he has de- clined to discuss his reason for resign ing.
 Some time ago when Captain Kenne- dys name was mentioned in connection with the colonelcy. he said it was un- authorized and that @ contest for the place. while he was chief of Colonel Mo- Councils stan would be improper. In the light of this statement. 1t Is believed that he may now be a candidate for Col onel of the Srd.
 CT tain Kennedy. in point of service. was one of the oldest members of the Alabama National Guard. having enlist ed In the Warrior Guards of Tuscaloosa in 1886. since when he has been a contin- uous member of the Guard. He has heen several times commander of the Jeffer- son Volunteers of Birmingham. and he has served as adjutant upon the staff of every colonel of the 3rd since 1897.
