THE MATCH MAKERS

NY THE end of the brief minute
x taken to read these paragraphs
~ the nations of the civilized world
will have struck three million matches.
This is the average for every minute
of the twenty-four hours of the day.
Seven billion is the onerous number
for the entire year, and those living
under the American flag are said to
be responsible for the consumption OF
one-half of this amount.
The Importance of the industry which
turns out the little splinters of wood
tipped with sulphur or some OF er
material ignited by friction is only
recognized when the average smoker
tries to contemplate his pred cament
IL he had to go back to the time when
he had to coax a spark from tinder
box. OF course. the answer is he
would smoke a great deal less because
of the difficulty in getting light, or
else on the other hand, smoke continu-
ously in order to keep alive the fire at
the end of his stogie or Habana, pipe
or cigarette, as the case might be.
Small and insignificant as 1t is. the
match demands perhaps as much at
tention as anv other forest product.
Only the choicest portions of the best
trees are suitable. Sapwood, knotty
or cross-grained timber will not do,
Instead of being a by-product of other
articles of manufacture, the little
match is turned out at hundreds of
mills over the country where the by
products are bulky objects like doors,
sash, shingles, siding, posts and cord
wood The pines, linden. aspen, white
cedar, poplar. birch and willow are
the r,ost suitable match timbers.
The match makers-not the matri-
monial kind-are already finding that
the amount of choice timber available
is dwindling Forest conservation, If
applied to the holdings of the match
companies, like 1t is on Uncle Sans
national forests in the west, will do
much to make the supply sufficient
for a longer number of years than
would be the case If the old-time
methods of a few years ago should
continue. The rapid increase in stump
age prices is one Of the chief factors In
encouraging the wise use of the for
ests where suitable match timber is
available.

ABSENT-M lNDED

In the little western town where
Violet Dale, the featured player in
"The Flirting Princess at the La
Sale theater, in Chicago, spent such
of her childhood as was snatched from
the stage there was a small college
whose professor of mathematics was so
absent minded that it is a wonder he
could even remember his own occupa-
tion. He did forgel his name and one
Sunday his wife sent him to the post
office.
He stuck his head in the window
when his turn came, and the busy
clerk said, Name, please" but for the
time being that important detail had
slipped the mathematical mans BRAIN
Going outside, he started toward home
in a brown study, trying to recall
name known from one end of the
country to the other among mathe-
maticians. as he was author of wide
ly used book on trigonometry. AS he
rounded a corner he ran into dear
friend.
''Why, hello, Professor Simon"
That's the name." said the absent
minded man, and he spoke the name at
the mail window with as much pride us
though he had been called to the chair
of mathematics at Harvard.
