FORESTRY UNPRoFITABLE.
At Least the University of the South
Has Found 1t So.

Boston 1deas.-The direct and imme.
date advantages of careful numbering
when combined with the practice of
forestry, have seldom been so forcibly
shown as in the case of the University
of the South at Sewanee, Tenn, whose
timberlands have been managed since
1900 under the direction of the bureau
of forestry.
Although $4,000 for all of its timber
was considered fair offer by the uni
versity in 1899, the bureau, by its plan
of management, has already secured a
net profit for the university of $4,000.
Four more years of numbering remain
to be done, and for three years, at
least, there is an assured annual profit
of $1,000. In a word, timber formerly
valued at 1000 will have been made to
yield profit of over $1,000.
Sewanee is on the top of a spur of
the Cumberland plateau and is a noted
summer resort. Every summer, when
the university opens, hundreds of per
sons from all over the south take cot
tages in the town to enjoy for the sea-
son the fine climate and the beauties
of the woodland scenery. The work
of the bureau of forestry is thus
brought to the attention of a large
number of people, many of them own
ers of southern timber lands, who see
for themselves the great practical ad-
vantages of forestry and careful lum-
bering in the surprisingly large profits
and improved appearance of the forest.
A detailed account of how the results
lin the Sewanee forest have been
achieved has just been published by
the bureau of forestry in bulletin 80,
Sewanee," by John Foley. The bulle-
tin does not furnish such specific in
structions for the management of TIM
Der lands like those at Sewanee that
they may be applied to them without
expert assistance. 1t illustrates, how
ever, what may be done with such tim
Der lands, and especially does it en-
phasize that numbering and forestry
may be practiced in the south, as else
where, with profit.

THE NURSES OF THE ARMY.
Women Now Regularly Employed with
Marked Success,

American Medicine.-A brief account
by DR.. Niece of the nurse corps of the
army as it exists now has recently been
published in the journal of the Asso-
citation of Military Surgeons of the
United States. A previous article de.
scribed the conditions attending the
appointment of trained women nurses
for army duty, which began in May,
1898, and eliminated in September,
when about 1900 were employed Be-
tween then and the present time they
have served in the United States, Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii Japan, the Philip
pines and even in the Chinese cam
paign. The number is now fixed at
100 on active duty, with a small body of
reserves who have seen active serv-
ice and are ready to answer future
calls. Trained nurses are permanent
ly stationed at the army hospital at
San Francisco, at the one for tuberculo-
sis at Fort Bayard, N. NJ, and at the
largest hospitals in the Philippines.
They are temporarily sent to any post
where they may be needed. They
serve under a section of the army re-
organization law framed in 1900, which
provided that the medical department
should consist of specified medical Off
GERS, of the enlisted men of the hospital
corps and of ''the nurse corps (fe-
male)" A superintendent is stationed
in the surgeon generals Office and a
chief nurse is at each of the hospitals
where nurses are serving. Recent
regulations provide for an examination
in nursing, cooking and allied subjects
before the promotion from the grade
of nurse to that of chief nurse. Women
are employed with marked success as
teachers of nursing and cooking in the
two schools maintained to give brief
preliminary instructions to the hospital
corps recruits. DIR. MCGEE urges that
in future the nurse corps be more
largely utilized in giving systematic
ward training to fit the hospital corps
men for their duties in the smaller
hospitals where they have no trained
supervision. She also recommends
the gradual formation of large corps
of reserves who have received some
postgraduate military training.

the front of the skirt. Directly sashes
are tied in front, the day of them is at

THE NEW SHIRT WAIST.
The Materials Are to Be Found in End.
less Variety.

There is an endless variety of shirt
waist materials, but the heavy cotton
stuffs, such as pique, duck. cheviot and
madras are at present the most desir-
able purchases. Many of them are for
ty-fve cents yard, and so pretty that
they warrant the price. These waists
are so simple of manufacture that no
home woman could think of buying tho
tready-made ones offered all the way
above $3.50 each. A shirt waist of cot
ton goods is not an even days work.
The palmer it is, the smarter it is. One
clever woman makes point of having
waist cut to fit her, and then patterns
the others after it. For the usual fig
ure. however, the Pilgrim cut-paper
pattern will be found satisfactory. Or
there is usually in every woman's sum-
mer wardrobe some one waist which
she particularly likes. This, then, is
the one to rip up as soon as it is worn,
and then by making such changes in
the sleeve and cuff and stock as form
the hallmark of eyerv seasons waists,
/ the result is bound to be satisfactory
| The shirt waist which fits best, even
when made in silk. popltn, velours or
flannel, is no lined. After all, the ap-
pearance of a waist depends largely
upon the way in which it is put on.
First. it must be drawn down in front
and pinned. Likewise, at each side of
the front, just ahead of the arm seam.
Then it should have hooks on it at the
back, so that the skirt band may be
hooked to it. Before donning the skirt
over the waist. tape should be drawn
around the waist twice and tied firmly.
This is so that the waist will not slip.
| Really. there is often more in the
putting on of waist than in the cut
of ii. For no matter how well it is cut,
if it is not worn properly it viii not
give satisfaction.

Exercise Brings Beauty.

Every woman who wishes to retain
her health and beauty should walk at
least two miles day. AS soon as
breakfast is finished the woman who
knows the proper way to care for her
health rests for half an hour and then
starts out for long walk, the longer
the better. she chooses the sunny
side of the street and starts off at a
smas trot. If she is seeking for
siimness she covers five miles without
resting.

that she looked up in startled alarm,
he took off his hat and said:
Il trust that have not disturbed

Her face flushed crimson; she rose
with a frightened look he never for
got. She had been told so often never
to allow any visitors or strangers to
see her. and now here was a gentle.
man positively speaking to her. He
did not understand her alarm.

THE JAMESTOWN OF TODAY.
Cherries and Lonely, 1t Is Little
More Than Mass of Ruins.

So cherries and lonely is James
town island today and so complete
are the seven miles of Wilderness
which by road, little better than a.
cart-path, connects it with Williams
burg, that one finds it hard to realize
how important was the town that
stood there during the seventeenth
century. While the final decline of
jamestown as center of authority
and of commerce is usually attributed
to Bacon's rebellion, during which the
village was burned, that calamity did
not lead to its abandonment, for it's
population was considerable till very
near the end of the century. Here.
had assembled in 1919 the first legis-
lative body on this continent, consist
ing of thirty-two representatives, and
about here the stirring events of a.
hundred years of formative history
seem to cluster.
The ruins of jamestown, which are
within stones throw of the landing
place, look as the pictures in the
Biographies and school histories have
represented them for the last fifty
years. The crumbling tower of the
old church does not appear to have.
