NEW HAVEN, Conn, January ~
Two autographs of EIihu Yale, for
whom Yale College was named two
centuries ago, have just been received
at the university here. They are the
first to some into the possession of the

Billions Of Matches.
the Technical World Magazine.

From the Technical World Magazine.
The American people use up the cnor-
nous total OF 100000 600. 900 matches a
year. but a statement of the number of
cubic feet of wood actually converted into
matches conveys very indefinite idea of
the number Of trees required for the in
dustry 1t is the general belief that
matches arc the by-product of planning
mills and other woodworking factories.
but as a matter of fact the best grade of
twO-inch lumber is used for matches.
while sash. doors and blinds are TIE by
products of the match timber saw mills.
In a single year the manufacturers cut
22J 600. 600 feet tboard measurc) of pine
in the great lakes region: and one OF the
one hundred and fifty odd factories used
up 10000 feet of sugar or yellow pine
logs every day The deduction is that. in
common with other industries of the
United States depending upon existing
forests. the matchmakers are within sight
of a shortage in the wood supply. When
the present timber holdings have been de-
pleted they. of course, cannot be dupli
Gated in a generation. and the people of
this country may have to get along with
fewer than twenty-five or thirty matches
sistent way they will probably demand
that the practice of Germany and France
be followed. that foresters plant and grow
timber especially for matches. This could
readily be done if forests were placed
under management and were no longer
left to run wild. and produce cordwood
and brush to fall before the devastating
forest fires. instead Of growing merchant
able timber.

DENIES A BIG COMMISSION
JUSTICE CLABAUGH RULES IN
CASE INVOLVING $4,000.
Holds That Agency Can Be Ter
minated Any Time Before Pur-
chaser Is Found.

Chief Justice Clabaugh today directed
a verdict in favor of Herbert J. Brown
and Horace S. Cummings. who were sued
by Mai Erastus l.. Hawks for $16,gp'
claimed as commission on an attempted
sale of one-half interest in the Island
of Calapatch. off the south coast of Cuba.
on which, it is claimed, are located guano
and phosphate beds The case was on
trial for two weeks in Circuit Court No. :.
Maj. Hawks claimed to have interested
J. II. Cottman G. Co. of Baltimore in the
proposed sale, and that they had en-
pressed an opinion that if the property
was as represented a sale of the interest
in question could be effected for $JOO,ooo
He declared that the defendants mad
wrongfully terminated his agency before
the negotiations could be contaminated.
Chief Justice Clabaugh held that as
after of law the agency could be ter
minated at any time before purchaser
was actually found, and that therefore
the plaintiff could not recover.
Attorney A. s. Worthington represented
Mai. Hawks; Attorneys II. E. Davis ana
C. c. Tucker appeared for Mr.. Cummings
and Attorney Hayden Johnson for MI

Making Of Literature

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The good old books were written with
loving care and sage reflection and long
elaboration. They had no rule such as
that which obtained in dime novel fac
must happen in every
thousand words.'' They were as casual
and desultory as 1t pleased them to be,
and half Of their perennially charming
naivete Is due to the fact that the story
trotted ahead or browsed by the roadside
according entirely to the whim Of ,him
who told 1t.
Some of the good old books would not
be considered wildly exciting by those
who must have their fiction wade red
wat-shod through moving accidents by
flood and field, but this order of l:rera-
ture is a tranquilizing mental restorative
to those who are weary Of the tocsin of
wars wild alarums and the clash of arms
that dispute the field with the inane and
vapid doings of the smart set in a
large percentage of the newsstand liter
ature Of the day. There is a reason why,
through all these years. against upstart
| newcomers. the good old books have
steadfastly held their own.

of teaching him to walk alone. 1T means
the arrested development of his own pow

Attempt was made in the Senate yes.

The House resolution does not contain

February l.. 1909, the Tooth anniversary
of Lincolns birth, be special holiday in
