Use of Odd Lengths.

The investigation carried on last year
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, cooperating with lnmber manu-
facturers in the South, to determine
the saving that can be effected by using
odd lengths of lumber as well as even,
has begun to bear fruit. That investi-
cation showed that a material saving
was practicable, and at recent meet
ing of southern lumber manufacturer s
association the fact was brought out
that beginning has been made in put
ting the new plan into practice, and
that an increase in the sale of odd
lengths is anticipated for the near fu-
ture.
1t was formerly the custom, and gen.
orally is so still, to sell lumber in even
lengths only. Waste resulted from
cutting off the ends of odd lengths to
make them even. A considerable per-
centage of a sawmill's output is defec-
tive. That is, boards have had knots,
decayed spots, or split ends, and the
defective parts are cut out. To make
an even length of what remains, it is
often necessary to cut off foot of good
wood with the bad, and it is wasted.
The practice of marketing odd lengths
as well as even is meant to lessen this
waste. The sale of odd lengths of lum-
Der will frequently lessen waste in the
woods also; for example, a log may be
cut fifteen feet long which, following
the old custom, would be cut only four
teen, and the extra foot would be left
in the woods.
The introduction of odd lengths meets
with opposition from many builders
who are prejudiced in favor of even
lengths simply because they have never
used any other kind. Nevertheless,
there are many places in which odd
lengths are more economical than even
ones-for instance, where nine-foot
studding is used. Following former
custom, the ends must be cut from even
lengths to make the timbers fit. Some
manufacturers of flooring successfully
sell'odd and even lengths, thus lessen
ing waste in the woods, at the mill,
and in the construction of buildings.

Green Mountain Club Formed.

A meeting of those likely to be inter-
ested in the formation of a mountain
club was held at Brandon on Friday at
the home of A. G. Farr, summer resi-
dent. DR.. Louis j. Paris of Burling-
ton, chairman of the State membership
committee, gave an informal talk on
the purpose and prospects of the Green
Mountain club. He gave a review of
what has already been accomplished in
the way of new trails, of the increased
number who are climbing the mountains
and the general awakening throughout
the State to the value of this move
ment.
At the end Of this address, on the
question being presented, the 60 guests
announced themselves to be unanimous
ly in favor of proceeding at once to or
ganizng as a section of the Green Noun
tain club. Officers were elected and 43
were enrolled.
The Green Mountain club congratu-
lates itself on the accession of such a
strong section full of the desire to open
up the beautiful mountain region which
surrounds Brandon. The situation is
most effective, as at this point a stage
road crosses the main range to Goshen
and Rochester, affording a good means
: to get into the heart of things without
any trails of approach. Mt. Horrid,
famous for its rare ferns and other
botanical specimens, can be made easy
of access from this road A trail to
Mt. Moosalamoo via Lake Dunmore is
among the possibilities. Another trail
to the south to Sherburne Pass and Mt.
Pico is another opportunity both fitting
in to the long trail project.
Officers were elected as follows !:
President, w. P. Gardiner; vice presi-
dent, A. G. Farr; secretary and treas
urer, r. c. Flood
The life members are A. G. Farr,
Mrs A. G. Farr and Miss Shirley Farr.

Wood Using Industries in New
Hampshire.

The State of New Hampshire has en-
tered into a cooperative agreement with
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
under which an exhaustive study of the
wood-using industries of the State will
be made. The work will be in charge
of agents of the Forest Service, and
more than 700 New Hampshire manu-
facturers who use wood have been
asked to furnish information.
A major part of the timber cut in
New Hampshire is used for general
construction and for laths, railroad ties,
poles, mine props, bridge timbers, and
fence posts, but in addition large
quantity goes to meet the demands of
the wood-using factories which convert
material into commodities of many uses
and many kinds. 1t is these factories
which are to be studied in the New
Hampshire investigation Similar
studies have been completed for other
states Massachusetts, Kentucky, Hi
nois, Maryland, and others.
One point which will be brought out
by this study is the extent to which the
forests of New Hampshire produce the
woods used by the manufacturers, and
the extent that their requirements have
to be met from timber regions outside
the State. In 1909 New Hampshire
stood twenty-fourth among the lumber
producing states but among the New
England States it stood next to Maine
1t is probable that New Hampshire holds
more important rank as a user Of
wood than it does in production.

for woman a broader and fuller edu- cation. After a long and apparently quiet, but nevertheless, intensely se- rious struggle, women now have the opportunity for equal education with men. As a natural outgrowth of this broader and better education we now have woman's demand for equal fran chise, the advantages of which are manifold and may be divided into two classes: the advantages to the State, politically and socially; and the ad- vantages to the woman herself.
 In the search for such evidence as will determine exactly what the ad- vantages of equal franchise to the State would be, one turns naturally to those Western States where equal suffrage has existed for some years. Perhaps, more so than in any other of these States, the resultant condi- tions in Colorado may be considered typical of what the general results of the extension of suffrage would be in America; for Colorado is typically American in it's virtues and vices, in in it's commercialism and it's patriot ism
 Therefore, if in Colorado, the most serious evil in the United States to- day, namely, the continued debasement of moral standards in business and politics, and the equally great evil which has arisen from this other one, that is, the absorption by few of the popular wealth have in any de- gree been corrected, the efficiency of woman's suffrage is undeniably estab- lished
 Naturally, the first result of any such reform would be shown by the election to important offices of men who were not controlled by party ma ie r, tod hn case in Colorado, where the political bosses have found it more and more impossible to put candidates into of flee who did not have a clean bill of health morally; and, furthermore, it has become less possible for them to prevent the reelection of officials dis to them. There was a re- markable example of this recently at a recent election when, after both par ty machines had agreed to shelve him, Judge Lindsey received the hearty support of the women voters, and was re-elected by them-to the incalculable advantage of the juvenile court.
 The other evil, corporation greed, has also been boldly and successfully dealt with, notably at the last Denver election when, chiefly through the vot- ing women, the renewal of their fran chise was denied to the water mo- nopoly; and municipal ownership was secured to the city. Also at the pres ent time the women voters of Colorado are demanding an inquiry into street. car, gas, and telephone charges
 However, in Colorado, woman has been successful not only in dealing with those larger problems but also with those smaller but equally inn portant ones, in which her interest has been a direct outgrowth of her inter- est in her own household. Naturally, 2,
