Lumber Industry Transformation,


A few American citizens are still
living who were alive In the days
when the Indiana aud Ohio pioneers
were cutting great clear-grained
black walnut, white oak and hickory
logs, piling them and burning them
to ashes in order to be rid Of them.
Farmhouses are still standing in the
Ohio valley whose tenoned frames
are Of black walnut and whose roof
boards are Of wide, clear lumber,
such a. is now sought for to be made
into kings table tops. Black-walnut
lumber in American commerce is to-
day little more than a memory !;
white oak In the finer finishing
grades is worth half the price Of
mahogany, and the American vehi-
Gle industry is in distress for the lack
Of hickory. Even In sawmill cities
of the present day the lath from the
walls Of wrecked houses is carefully
cleaned and bundled for resale, while
half-decayed pine logs are sawed into
merchantable lumber. Thus In the
span of one life the American lum-
Der industry has passed from surfeit
to hunger. Such another span prom
ises to carry us from hunger to star

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm.
portance. Defiance Starch. being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen.
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

MR.. BABCOCK OPPOSED
THREAT WAS NECESSARY TO
HAVE GREENE BILL REFERRED.

The subcommittee on schools Of the House
District committee, Representative Morrell
chairman will hold a brief business meet
ing Monday, and will begin hearings Tues
day on the bill introduced in the House by
Representative Greene of Massachusetts,, a
member of the subcommittee, to define
the status of teachers in the public schools
of the District of Columbia. 1t was learned
today that for some reason or other Rep
resentative Babcock of Wisconsin, chairman
of the House District committee, was very
much opposed to consideration of the
Greene bill by the Morrell subcommittee,
and did not refer it to the subcommittee I'M
til Representative Greene had threatened to
take up the matter on the floor of the House
and demand the chairmans reason for his
course of action. Mr.. Greene would not
discuss this phase of the matter today, but
it is learned on excellent authority that
this was the only way Mr. Greene got ref
erence of the bill to the Morrelt subcommit-
tee so that hearings might be held.
The sessions Of the subcommittee are ex-
pected to be of unusual interest and to
develop considerable testimony of impor-
lance Dr. Chancellor will doubtless be
called, as will Assistant Superintendent
Hughes, former Superintendent Stuart and
probably members of the board of educa-
ton. Mr.. Greene considers these hearings
on the bill to be Of practically as much
importance as the actual passage of the
measure. He thinks that it will be pos
sible to find out a great deal from them
that will be of value In enabling Congress
to provide for carrying out in the future
the spirit and intent Of last years school
law, which many members of Congress
claim has been violated by the superinten-
dent of schools and the board of education
