 The forest differs from every other crop in that it requires 35 to 100 years in which to mature. Other crops mature annually and furnish an in come to the owner. Tobacco, fruits, and corn and other grains on land indicate in a. measure is productivity and are guide in valuation for puF- poses of taxation. The crop may or may not be there when the valuation is made
 and the one crop are taxed each year during the growth and maturing of that crop. investigations have shown that, in the case of woodland, if the law Is fully compiled with and the present and actual value Of land and crop are taxed each year that as high as 85go of the yield of the forest Is taxed away during it's life time.
 In the past low valuations for the most have been the rule but in re cent years there has been a decided increase in the va, uing of forest lands and especially those who are seeking by forestry methods to renew and bui up their woodland or who are setting out waste land with trees to make new forests.
 The work of the State Forester is to experiment and to assist private own CTS to improve their woodland or plant new forests of suitable species. He can tell the approximate expenditures in care and management Of woodland the average cost of planting, thin nings, fire protection, etc. and the estimated returns based on actual measurements of forest stands. What he cannot tell is the amount to be ex- pended in taxes or how much of the yield is going to be taxed away un- der the present system of woodland taxation. Both in theory and practice the general property tax as applied to forest land is wrong. The fact that low valuations in the past have pre- vented great harm being done is no assurance as to the future practice The improver and rebuiIder of the forest must look at it from the prac- tical investors standpoint. Will he Invest under the prospect Of his final yield being largely taxed away?
 These subjects will be discussed at the first public hearing Of the special Commission on Taxation Of Wood and, created by the last General Assembly, and a good attendance is expected. judging from answer7 to invitations sent out by State Forester Spring, Secretary of the Commission. EX- Governor woodruff is Chairman of the Commission, and other members are State Tax Commissioner Corbin. Prof Chapman Of the Yale Forest School and F. H. StadmueIIer, Secretary Of the Connecticut Forestry Association.
 All interested in the subject before the Commission next Tuesday are cordially invited to be present and ex- press their opinions.

 Last year a collection of Los An geles bankers fixed their desiring eyes upon this new industry and sought 70 purchase the interests of the English and the Ostrich King was induced to return to America from his barOnfaI castle in England to listen to the vocies of these petitioners regarding the possession of part of his vast in- terests. Weary of the American Palestine he yielded to their solicita- uons and accepted a check for one million three hundred thousand doI- lars as his share of the swag, that is, In exchange for his interest in the business. As soon as he received the money he once more turned his back on this Holy Land, where he had spent so many weary years among the leather coIored Inhabitants, and meads of old England. His dreams even have been acquired by the Los Angeles bankers, for they have agreed to esta bIIsh ostrich feather stores in every city in the Union and pay pub fishers in every locality to exploit this new California product This will in erase the manufacture of American ostrich feathers and thus give eTn- ploylrient to thousands of worthy white women, many of whom are now Iaboring at the industry. in Cali fornia. This in a State cursed by Asiatic labor is indeed a god7end and places the Ostrich King among the benefactors of his race. Women and ostriches are multiplying in Califor- nis; the infancy of the industry has just been terminated; uncounted cap italists will be produced out of it and the time is certainly to be even in this generation when every American woman will wear the American os- trich feather or none at all.

The structure is of reinfOrc- ed concrete with hollow tile floor con struction and is also equipped with hollow tile outside walls and interior partitions. The almost entire absence of wood in the construction has been the cause of much comment The lines of the house are those of the old Spa anish missions. William g.

If Girl and Her Brother Disagree the Girl is Generally to Blame
 Says Anne NIcCaH.

In a talk to girls. in the February Woman's Home Companion, Anne Bryan Mccall makes the following re- marks on a girl and her brother:
 There are three things essential to happy relationship between brother and sister; sympathy or understand ing; confidence or faith; honor or re- spect- Now I make bold to say that where these things fail, it is very nearly always the fault of the girl. I go so far as to tell you that if you told me that you and your brother were not Congenial would even, without hearing the case through, be- rieve myself to be right in saying that the fault was. ninety-nine chances out of a hundred yours, not his. The thing is easily reducible. That at mosphere and surrounding which fos- rers and preserves the integrity of this relationship between you and him and brings it to a happy issue is primarily the atmosphere and sur rounding of home. Home is essential ly your province. If the relationship rails of fineness, that failure is due most probably to a failure in the ideals of home. and you, more than he, are likely to be responsible.
 ''-The world of men and affairs is his world, but this fireside world is yours. In this world of yours he is, in a sense always a guest. It is for ever you who must offer him comfort happiness and cheer. Similarly the outside world, for which he is so sure ly destined, should be admitted to be his world Here you are ms guest here it is his affair. his privilege, to offer you that consideration which men of gentleness and breeding in stinctively offer to woman. We see the distinction between these two worlds clearly enough in the general social custom of entertainment that prevails amongst us. Tn the home It is you who play hostess. who enter tafns his friends he too being, as it were a guest; in the outside world it is he who plays host. who entertains your friends. and you along with them

 YOUNG GIRLS DEATH
Oispateh to Philadelphia Press1

Dispatch to Philadelphia Press.)
 Chester, Pa.,-Tetanus, resulting g from vaccination, caused the death of Mabel De aney, tweIve-year- 0 daugh- ter of Patrick Delaney, of Upland, to- day. The parents of the child place the responsibility upon the Upland Board of Health.
 Mabel was of a nervous tempera- ment and her mother objected to her being vaccinated. The girl attended the borough schools and MT. and Mrs. Delaney were informed of the compul- sorry feature of the education act Con- cerning vaccination. Finally they consented.
 Dr. Edwin c. Bullock, the Upland Board of Health's physician, contends that the girl would have come around all right had not the mother attempt ed to treat the girls arm, which be- came inhamed, by applying a salve.

FASHION AND BUSINESS.
Popularity of HobbIe Skirt Has De- stroyed Market For Feminine
 WeaFabIeS.

French textile-makers complain bit terly that unless the hobble skirt can be retired by a conclusive dictate of Dame Fashion, they are. undone,' says the February Munsey editorially. 'It takes ever so much less c,oth to make dress in hobble style. Worse yet, the hobble, in its properest-Or improp- erestzdevelopment, must be so closely fitted to the figure of the wearer that petticoats become taboo with the true devotees of fashion, thus destroying the market for other goods.''

The election at Los Angeles was a living proof of all the arguments for woman's suffrage and a living denial | of all that has been said against wo- | mans suffrage.
 l The women in a body stood for the 1 Good Government forces. Peace and | serenity prevailed Leaders of both sides were chfvalrous and did not for get that women although voters, were still women. In fact they were treat ed with the utmost courtesy, and it
 is possible that chivalry will take on a new meaning. Mothers went to the
 polls pushing baby carriages and hold ing children by the hand.
 It was sight that will be long re-
 which the world of women will long recall
 The women voted quickly. intelIi- gently and without harangue. It is a victory not only for Califor-
 mia but for women in every State in the country.

 From Salem,- the Salem Women's Club sends the fo lowing report of an | interesting feature of their work; | '"The Salem Women's Club has main tained for ten years the only free bath | house in Salem. The first building
 was burned in 1909, but through the 1 efforts of the club was rebuilt in the year 1910 and opened with great sue | cess. With the new year of 1912, the entire debt will have been paid. This | bath house is maintained by our Club | for girls and women and no charity l carried on by the club has reached so
 many votal needs among the women and chi dren of our city.
 That it has been largely patron | ized and appreciated is shown by the 1 cact that during three months of the present summer, 8,s40 baths have been | taken-an average of over one hundred a day. As the patrons are served but four hours daily, this meant a vr'-y | busy time for the matrons, attendants and cOmmittees.''
