tute the "big five" in producing the
country's lumber supply, whose valua-

Texas, Michigan, Oregon, Minnesota
and Pennsylvania rank after the first
five states and others follow in de.
creasing amounts down to Utah, the

North Dakota, having little timbered
area, not rated at all.
While the total valuation of the pro-
duction of lumber, lath and shingle
production reached $541 ,545, $40, this is
. decrease of 23 per cent under the pre-.

UNIVERSAL MOTOR PASSPORT.
italian Touring Club Plans to Abol-
ish Travelling Abroad Triptychs.

.
An International congress for the study
of the unification Of the rules Of the road
will meet in Paris in July. when one of
the most important questions to be dis
cussed will be that OF the international
circulation of automobiles.
At present. in order to avoid difficult
ties at frontier customs houses, the Eu
ropean touring federations and certain
automobile clubs deliver to their men,
bers travelling abroad triptychs which de-
note the identity of an auto and the
amount of the security deposited against
the customs due on it. The Italian
Touring Club now proposes to replace all
triptychs by universal document in the
shape of a booklet passport recognized
by all nations.
The Italian Touring Club urges that
the objection to the present system Is
that it necessitates the possession OF as
many triptychs as countries traversed
and the deposit of a corresponding num-
Der of heavy customs dues. Under the
proposed new system these incon
yeniences would disappear, for 1t would
suffice to deposit a security equal to the
highest tariff exacted in the countries
concerned.
1t is stated that France, Belgium Hol-
land. Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Spain
and Germany will adhere to the prop
oSition.
