A theater usher was baff1ed at per
Torrance, the other night, by woman
sitting in an orchestra row where her
head completely obscured the stage for
the people Immediately behind her,
says the Boston Herald. Three times
he sailed down the aisle to make the
usual request, and each time when he
looked at the head he saw it was no
obtruding hat but simply a stack of
puffs of hair, with jeweled ornament
pitched toward the left eyebrow. But
occupants Of the back seats, becoming
restless, enjoined the usher to 60 and
do his duty, and finally, as he couldn't,
one holder than the others addressed
the lady with will you kindly remove
your hair?" OF course, it had no effect
except to bring the whitening, and a
most unexpected, retort: This is my
own hair, and does not come off," That
settled it, and admiration succeeded
bitterness, if not despair 1t was indeed
something to look at and to covet No
matter II it was impossible to see
around or above the billowy, puffy

Manufacturing wood pulp, though n
potent cause Of forest destruction, is
by no means the only one. Notwith-
standing the enormous increase in the
use of metal, concrete and other ma
terials for building purposes, the pro-
duction. Of lumber is immense. The
census bureau at Washington esti-
mates that nearly $750,000,000 worth
of lumber lath and shingles was
turned out in the United States last
year With reports at hand from 2S,-
$50 mills. it is proved that $707 ,O95, 400
worth was SO produced. The details
are: Lumber, 1926 ,154 900 feet, val
ued at s666,641, 1867; lath, 1858, 6O2 900,
valued at S1O,342,705; shingles, 1924
475,000, valued at $30,111,337. Tsis
year is witnessing a great revival of
operations in which building material
plays a part, and the demand is likely
to be still larger.
