Der OF purposes which require great
tough ness and great strength, and no
other wood occurring in considerable
quantlty combines these properties in
a greater degree than do some of the

hiekories.
Peculiar interest is given to the SIT

ours only in the eastern part of the
United States, and large quantities
Of hickory handles, spokes, wheels,

serviceable must be heavy, clear and

visaible but necessary, and now, the
National Hickory association OF Chic
ago has requested the United States
| Forest Service to cooperate with 1t in
the revision. of the grading rules for
vehicles and agricultural implement
stock. This association is composed
largely Of hickory and oak users, and
/ its members represent the wagon,

manufacturers, together with the ac-
cessory trades.
The grading rules for the classes

IL what they were twenty-five years
ago. The dissatisfaction constantly
arising from the inadequacy of the
present rules calls for a complete re-
vision to make them conform with

During the past two years the For

study of the vehicle industry, supple
mented by large number of tests to
determine the relative effects of var

DRY. The results of these studies
have been made the subject of for

WU TING FANG lNDISCREET7
Statement That Chinese Government
Is Considering His Recall.

Washington. Sept. 1.-Mr. WI Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister, when
shown the dispatch from Pekin say
ing that the government was consid'
ering the question of his recall and
mentioning the name of his probable
successor, declared that the Pekin
government had not in any way init
mated to him that it was diI.atisfied
with anything he had done, and that 1t
had not called him to account for any
thing he may have said.
He appeared rather amused and puz
zled over the statement that the gov
ernment had been embarrassed by bic
attitude "as a public character In
America and his disposition vas tc
smile in talking about it. The minis
ter added:
What few speeches | have made
since my return to America have beer
mainly to colleges and uniyersitiei
and have been educational in charac
ter and in the further effort to cement
the friendship between China and the
United States. | have scrupulously
avoided touching on politics.

which the Pekin dispatch says have
embarrassed the government relate to
the so-called American-Chinese ALI
ance, | wish to say that | have not
committed myself in any way on thai
subject more than to remark that IL
was interesting.

sible successor to Mr.. WI, heretofore
actually has been named for the posi-
tion of minister at Washington. This
occurred when he was customs taotai
of Tien Tsin and followed the retire.
ment OF Sir Chentung Liang Cheng,
Mr.. Wu's predecessor. Liang Tun
Yen went to Pekin for an audience
with the authorities and was kept
there, being appointed to the position
he now holds. Mr. WI was then again
appointed minister to Washington.
