nlekory supply closoly wa.ehed.

&
Automobile and carriage manufac-
turers. along with the men of the
allied. vehicle industries, are giving
very serious consideration to the
question of the future supply OF
hickory timber. This wood, which
is one of the most important of all
woods, since no satisfactory substi-
tute for 1t has been found, plays a
more important part among the COM
mercial tbmbers than many people
realize.
For automobile and carriage
wheels, where strength, toughness,
and resiliency are essential qualities,
no other wood has been found in this
country that will take the place of
hickory. Manufacturers say that no
steel or wire spoke has yet been
found that win Withstand the wear
and tear Of. the hickory spoke and
for this reason the welfare of the ve-
hicle industry seems dependent upon
the conservation of the hickory sup
ply.
Three of the largest associations OF
hickory users in the country, the Ma
tional Wagon Manufacturers Associa-
ton. of America. the Carriage Build
ers National Association, and the Ma
tlonal Hickory Association have COM
pletedn a series of cooperative tests
with the United States Forest Ser
vice and the trade considers the re-
suits highly important. The tests
covered close study OF the proper
ties of different woods used in We
hicles and implements, supplement-
ed by mechanical tests to ascertain
THE relative strength of different
woods and different forms of con-
struction and to test the accuracy of
the present system of grading.
In report of the tests made by
H. B. Holroyd, forest assistant, and
H. S. Belts, engineer in timber tests,
of the Forest Service, the fact is
brought out that there is an error
of over so per cent. in the grading
of vehicle stock, due largely to the
prejudice OF the manufacturers
against the use of red hickory. 1t
is shown that In clear stock, weight
for weight, the red hickory is as
strong as the white. BY bringing
this fact to the attention OF the manu-
facturers, it is hoped that much of
he hickory which was formerly left
as waste in the woods will be utiliz-
ed by the trade and thus prolong the
rapidly disappearing supply of hick-
DRY.
Such practical results as are Civ
en- in the report, which letter to
the Forest Service at Washing ton
viii secure free for any one who
wishes 1t, show conclusively the value
of such studies in solving problems
connected with the grading Of stock,
the utilization OF new for old woods,
and the conserving of our future
SUPPLY of timber. The supply of
good hickory in the United States is
known to be very limited. The cut
last year for lumber was little less
than $50 million feet, and it is esti-
mated an even greater amount was
used for automobile and carriage
wheels, axle caps, gears, axles, poles,
single trees and neck Jokes. and 1t
is figured that at the present rate of

becomes essential.
"All my twenty little girls have per-
footIy normal, heelthy feet. II is the
feet and not merely the toes that arc
INTENDED 10 support the weight OF the
body; so what could be further away
from nature than pirouo:ting abouton one
terribly over,trained tos?
Miss Duncan spcs no place In the future
art OF the dance for the old school OF
ballet dancing.
-One OF the first principles set down in
my manual of dancing" she told the
reporter. "was that y child must not
DO taught to mike movements. but the
BODY must be taught to express itself
by the motions natural to 1t. We d. not
alIow q child in the school TO make q
single movement unless she knows why
she makes 1t.
Il don't mean by that to say that every
motion mus. be explained to tao child in
words, but that the motion must be Of
| such a nature hat the child feels the
reason for it in every fibre. In this way
n child receives its first training in the
simple language Of gestures.
sometimes the children at the school
take their dancing lesson in the woods.
and II has often been my sisters wish
that all their Lessons could be in the open
air. The children seem themselves TO
appreciate a difference between dancing
indoors and In the open air, and I always
try to make hem realize when they
are dancing within four walls that they
should try to feel and to show that thar
feel as IL they had only HEAVIER above
them and the trees and flowers about
them.
During some OF our lessons In the
woods the children delight in initiating
with their bodies the way the trees wave
in the wind, the huttering OF the butter
flies and the nodding OF the flowers. All
these things they represent In dancing
beautifully and gracefully. because they
have been taught to know the sgnif-
of every motion; but above all
they dance with perfect delight In what
they are doing
The dances in public have 90 far been
confined to the cities providing q branch
of the society for the maintenance Of the
school. They dance on a green carpet
before the same draperies designed by
Gordon Craig that Miss Duncan usea
here. Usually the piano alone is used.
although some Of the numbers are GOA
sionally danced to the orchestra.
mo woman should ever have under
taken to revise the dance OF antiquity
Miss Duncan concluded with almost Q
look Of encouragement. 1T is the work
Of a man.
Think how wonderfully Mounet Sully,
for instance, could nave taught the world
to-day how beautiful the old dancing
wasl He is the man who would have
recreated the dancing of old If he had
given it only a small part of the dignity
and beauty he reveals as Edipe.'

THE SENSE OF DISTANCE.
A Pleasure Mr. Gnmmerton Finds When
He Takes His vacation.

He Takes His vacation.
'One OF the things that ! go on my va
cation for, one Of the chief things said
Mr.. Glimmerton, lis distance; the refresh
ing, reviving, expanding power OF dis
tanoe. The change to new soenes, as any
change whatever Is always sure to be,
Ii helpful; but the broadening, uplifting,
clarifying effect, the effect In which we
find the greatest enjoyment and by which
we store up the greatest renewal OF
strength for the future, We get through
our sense OF distance.
We are 80 shut up in the city, our
range Of vision is 30 limited; live where
we will or 60 where we will here and our
sight stops short at walls. Then when we
60 away and leave the city behind us, as
we get out into the open country. where

can sit and look down a long, broad lake
with mountains rolling away on either
hand and beyond. The change, ! know,
from the city is great and delightful;
but the thing that gets me here and re-
leases me, Is the distance.
Daily, hourly, ! come back to this
view to expel what lingering traces may
be left in me Of the contraction Of the city
and to expand anew In this great spa
oiousness through the sense OF distance.
Space has no care nor confinement, but
only freedom. And what Joy and relief
to be where one can cast on all chains and
be free!
ANY change Is good for US; but the
greatest Joy In change that comes 10 me

TWenty HAttle Girls In Prince jerome

1T Is owing to Mrs. W. Z. Corey's desire
To- devote some Of her present fortune
TO- encouraging artists who need it that
the twenty little members Of 1sadora
Dpncan's school for dancing are just now
enjoying the delights Of residence 10 a
chateau at La Verrieres, about forty min
utes from Paris. Miss Dunoan's pupils,
under the care Of her sister Elizabeth, had
been since last spring at Neuilly in the
family of a Protestant clergyman. They
were taken away from their home in the
G%runewald outside Berlin because Miss
Duncan thought a change Of atmosphere
would prove stimulating.
Mrs. Corey. who wants to help not only
young dramatists but artists Of all kinds
as. well, heard from Miss Duncan Of her
splans and the struggle that 1t vas for her
TO maintain the school by her dancing,
Even in France to clothe. feed and edu-
cate twenty children is % a slight financial
undertaking, especially when they are
reared carefully.
It was necessary in a way for them to be
near Paris, as their teacher likes to take
them frequently TO the Louvre and other
galleries that they may make Themselves
familiar with the poses and motions OF
Greek art. 1t is not improbable that they
will ultimately make a stay near London,
since the Duchess of Connaught has told
Miss Duncan that Queen Alexandra 10
anxious to have them brought to England
and will assure her help and support to tho
school. Just nov the plan is that they are
TO remain for a year in France.
