lem OF supplying our people with food
will become pressing. The possible
additions to our arabic area are not
great. and It will become necessary 10
obtain much larger crops from the
land. as Is now done in more denseiy
settled countries To do this we need
better farm practice and better strains
of wheat. corn and other crop plants,
with a reduction in losses from soil
erosion and from insects, animals and
other enemies of agriculture. The
United States department OF agricul-
ture IL doing excellent work I'm these
directions, and it should be literally
supported.
The remaining public lands should
be classified and the arabic lands
disposed Of to homemakers. In their
interest the timber and stone act ana
the Communication clause Of the home
stead act should be repealed, and the
desert land law should he modified In
accordance with tine recommendations
of the public lands commission.
The use Of the public grazing lands
should he regulated in such ways as
to improve and conserve their value.
Rights to the surface Of the public
land should be separated from rights
to forests upon It and to minerals be.
meath it, and these should be subject
to separate disposal
The coal, oil. gas and phosphate
rights still remaining with the govern.
meut should be withdrawn from entry
and leased under conditions favorabls
for economic development.
Minerals.
The accompanying reports show thai
the consumption Of nearly all Of our
mineral products is increasing more
rapidly than our population. Our min.
eral waste is about one-sixth Of our
product. or nearly S1OOO,OOO for each
working day in the year. The loss OF
structural materials through fire is
about another million a day The loss
of life in the mines is appalling. The
larger part Of these losses of life and
property can be avoided.
Our mineral resources are limited In
quantity and cannot be increased on
reproduced. With the rapidly increas-
ing rate Of consumption the supply will
be exhausted while yet the nation is in
its infancy unless better methods are
devised or substitutes are found. Fur
Their investigation is urgently needed
in order to improve methods and to de-
velop and apply substitutes.
II is of the utmost importance that a
bureau Of mines be established in ac-
cordance with the pending bill to re.
duce the loss Of life in mines and the
waste Of mineral resources and to in.
vestigate the methods and substitutes
for prolonging the duration Of our mn
eral supplies. Both the need and the
public demand for such a bureau are
rapidly becoming more urgent It
should cooperate with the states in
supplying data TO serve as a basis for
state mine regulations. The establish
ment Of this bureau wifi mean merely
the transfer from other bureaus Of
work which it is agreed should be
transferred and slightly enlarged and
reorganized for these purposes.
Conclusions.
The joint conference already mem
toned adopted two resolutions n
which I call your special attention.
The first was intended TO promote CO.
operation between the states and the
nation upon all OF the great questions
here discussed. It is rs follows:

Waters.
The report says:

Within recent months IL has been rec.
ognized and demanded by the people
through many thousand delegates from
all states assembled in convention in diff
ferent sections Of the country, that the
waterways should and must be improved
promptly and effectively as a means OF
maintaining national prosperity.
The first requisite for waterway i'm
provement is the control of the waters in
such manner as to reduce floods and reg
ulate the regimen of the navigable riv-
ers. The second requisite is development
of terminals and connections in such man.
ner as to regulate commerce.
Accordingly l urge that the broad
plan for the development of our water
ways, recommended by the inland wa
terways commission, be put in effect
without delay. 1t provides for a com
ptehensive system of waterway i'm
provement extending to all the uses of
the waters and benefits to be derived
from their control, including naviga-
ton, the development of power, the ex-
tension of irrigation, the drainage of
swamp and overflow lands, the pre-
vention of soil wash and the puritica-
ton of streams for water supply. 1t

GEE! BUT THERE'S AN

Revelations of Auction at the

Especial to the Evening star.

TEANECK, March 3.-This staid viii
lage was nevertso "het up before. No
body had suspected such a thing. And
what nave beer glasses got to do witt
fighting fires, anyway? Some folks are
asking the volunteer fremen thai en-
barrassing question, for the dreadful
secret is Out.
1t happened because the Blessing boys
and Pete Mcmahon got a court judg-
ment of $145 for work they'd done for
the hose company. Just now the Bless
ings' name is a misnomer-that is with
the vamps. But let that pass, here's
the facts: Constable Garry made out
a list of the volunteers possessions
to auction EN- off on March 10--and
this is the list:
One Dalmatian dog.
One American flag.
One thousand feet of regulation hose.
One wheel of fortune.
One hook and ladder truck.
One handsome and costly wax and
floral horseshoe presented to the com
pany the night the fire house was
opened.
Two hose trucks.
One wash bowl.
Twelve leather pals.
AND-114 beer glasses.
Is Teaneck shocked? You ought to
be one Of those volunteers-you'd hnd
out.

Decrease in tuberculosis VIC
fins, According to Health
Boards Report.

Deaths due to tuberculosis show a
decrease inihe State Board of Health's
report for Vebruary, although the per-
centage, compared to other diseases, is
still alarmingly large. For instance,
while malarial fever is credited with
only one death, tuberculosi is made
responsible for 3O4. Diseases of the
, respiratory system, excepting tubercu-
iosis and pneumonia, caused 27s deaths.
In the report it is stated that dis
eases of the respiratory system, when
constitute the leading causes of death
at this season of the year, show a
gratifying decrease in number, ana
s'this, in a measure, is probably to
the mild weather Of the past few
weeks. although 1t is believed that the
campaign against tuberculosis belng
waged throughout New Jersey 7 : : may
have contributed to this reduction OF
mortality"
