THREE OUT OF EVERY
FOUR TREES BEING CUT
Future Generations viii Find II Hard
to obtain Timber Enough for
Their Needs.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The
United States forestry commission es-
Inmates that the amount OF wood an
nually consumed in the United States
at the present time Is twenty-three bill
lion cubic feet. while the growth OF
the forests Is only seven billion feet.
In other words, Americans all over the
country are using more than three
times as much wood as the 'ores.s
are producing. The figures are based
upon a large number OF state and 10.
cal reports collected by the govern
ment and upon actual measurements.
The States Forester OF Connecticut
In recent report has given figui - on
growth and use for New Haven coun
ty which give many more valuable de-
tails than are generally TO be obtained,
and well illustrate how the foiesI Is
being reduced by overcutting. In
that county very careful study was
made In eacn township OF the amounc
OF forest, rate OF growth and the
amount OF timber used.
For the year 1907 the timber used
was 10000 cords. In the form OF cord
wood. lumber. ties, poles and piles.
The annual growth on all types or for
est land. including the trees standing
on abandoned fields. for the year
reached a total Of 10000 cords. This
the amount cut yearly exceeds tie
growth by $4,000 cords
The amount of standing timber con-
sidered as mcrchantable and available
for cutting within the next few years
was found To be 100000 cords. Each
year the annual growth increases the
supply on hand by 10000 cords. while
the use decreases II by 100000. The
net reduction Is therefore $4,000 cords
year. IL the cut and the growth re-
main at the present figures. the sup
ply of msrcnantabie timber win be
exhausted in about twenty years: Al
the end OF that time there will be
large amount of forest standing in the
county. but Il will be In tracts under
40 years Of age, containing wood be-
low the most profitable size for cut
ting. Cordwood could still be cut.
but supplies of the most profitable
products. like ties and lumber. would
be practically exhausted.

VERANDA HER BEDROOM
ALL THE YEAR ROUND
Physical Culture Teacher Rarely
Visits, Because She Then Has
to Sleep Indoors.


KANSAS CITY, April 2O.--With the
exception Of one night last winter
when the wind blew hard gale. Miss
Charlotte A. Blatchiey, director OF
the physical culture department for
girls at the Central High school, has
for three years used the veranda o!
her home, No. 220 Assist, Argentine,
as an open air bedroom
Her father. Dr. Oscar p. Blatchley
"a retired physician of Argentine. said
that his daughter Is in the bsst OF
health since she began sleeping out
of doors thre eyears ago last Februa-
airy
The room at the high school where
Miss Blatchley conducted her classes
was next to furnaces. She inhaled SO
much carbon dioxide while at work
she was unable to sleep well al night
DR. Blatchley suggested tent as
sleeping apartment. This idea was
abandoned and the veranda was
equipped for the purpose. Miss
Blatchley complains now when she
is visiting because she has to sleel
indoors.
Miss Blatchley has been the direc
tor of the girls physical culture de-
partment at the Central for the last
four years. Prior to that time she was
an instructor at Gloucester, Mass, for
three years. Miss Blatchley Is q
