FREE USE PERMITS,

Washington, Jan. During
the last fiscal year ending June 81,
the United States Forest Service
issued to settlers in the neighbor-
hood of national forests in western
states over 80, 600 ''free use" per-
mits, under which the settlers re-
ceived free about 264 900 cords of
firewood, posts and sawlogs, worth
S169, 800, or about GA cents per
cord in the forest-a low valuation.
Besides this, the different states
received for school and road pur-
poses 25 per cent of the income from
the national forests amounting last
year to $447,064. The direct return
To the states in lieu of taxes on the
147 million acres, the estimated area
Of unpatented land in the National
Forests, amounted then in the last
year to $616, 384 in cash and ''free
use' timber.
In 1907, the total of "free use''
material and money paid oyer amour
ted to about $3.50, 400. The In
crease of the amount given to the
states from 10 per cent to 25 per
of course is largely responsible for
the large return In 1908, but even
had this percentage not been chang.
ed a good increase would have beer
shown, despite the decentralization
of the lumber busln IS caused by

well-known English surgeon
called attention, some time ago to the
inability of city children to see well
at great distance. caused, he said
by their restricted line of vision The
other side of the street is about as far
as they have an opportunity of using
their sight. 1t is different with coun-
try children. who have an expanse OF
landscape to look at, and can practice
their sight on a great variety of OBJ.
jects at a distance. He suggests that
city children should be given every
possible chance to do the same. and
