nation collected by the forest ser vice, is the principal wood exported from this country. It is said to be the faVor1te wood among insuIar man ufacturers for flooring, ceiling, siding, cornice, shelving, finish, and boat work. Makers of furniture demand California redwood and sugar pine, southern quarter-sawed oak, eastern ash, sugar maple, and western white pine.
 Four woods, principally conifers and oaks go into the construction of boats; for framing parts, masts, spars in terfor trim, planking, boat crooks, and tller handles. Meat blocks are made from sugar maple, which with syca- more supplies the entire demand in the United States. Wagon fe1Ioes are made of white oak, and other parts of vehicles are manufactured from high grades of white ash and white oak.

 Her clothes had been drenched, of course, but she was otherwise unharm- ed and there was a strange light in her eyes.
 ''I am not hurt" answered. God has preserved me thus far.''
 For me- she said softly.
 "For your service,'' answered gravely, quite understanding that was what she meant

AMERICAN WOODS GO TO ORIENT
Recent statistics indicate a marke

Recent statistics indicate a marked increase in exports of lumber from the United States to the Orient. More than a quarter of a million feet of American woods are reported as being used in Samoa, Hawaii, and the Phil ippine Islands.
 Heretofore, it is said, raw mater ials have been made up into finished articles in the United States, almost without exception, and exported as such With the discovery by Amer ican manufacturers in the Philippines that they could import United States woods and make them up with profit there, wood using factories were built. Pacific coast woods, in consequence, are in many cases taking the place Of the native woods with such pictur- esque names as apitong, teak, nara, and yaca1.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Tea Gowns
BY BLANCHE BEACON

Have you noticed the revival we are having in pretty tea gowns? If you like this 1ang1id, comfortable fad, you may indulge your fancy without dread. Dame Fashion says they are quite au fait.
 Somebody-a poet, needless to say has described his lady love thusly:
 @It was a shinanery. silky thing
 Melissa wore.
 A-f1ame with ribbons red and white,
 Administrators.
 A cIinging gown bedeck ked-befriIled
 A dream to see-
 Melissa says twas made to grace
 A cup O tea-''
 But let me sound this note of warn ing. The tea gown can either add ma terial1y to your charm, or detract from it so greatly that the result is pitiful. In other words, if your tea-gown is not fragrantIy fresh and spotlessly clean, it is as ugly a robe as can be found. It converts the prettiest wo- man into a, sloppy old creature-un- tidy, mussy in appearance.
 On the other hand, if you keep your gown cleaned and pressed and do not abuse it by sprawling all over in it you will have added another quaint coquettery to your seVer-growing list.
 Fashion decrees that the tea gown be worn at little informal teas, where one has a few dear friends of the same sex in for a chat, or perhaps, when your husband or brother are taking time from business to spend an hoIr in your boudoir.

Wilmington High School lost its
annual football game to Norristown
High yesterday 2S to n. Two thou

cheered hard for the local team.
According to lots Of local dope
Wilmington was bound TO win by
virtue Of its victory over Chester

way about it and eased up in their

hrst quarter on straight rushes. A
few minutes later the visitors fol-

lNorrlstown.
In the second quarter both teams
played scoreloss football, but in the
third period Norristown broke up
the peaceful proceedings by running
the score up TO % to 0.
In the fourth period Wilmington
made their only score In a success
sion Of really brilliant plays the ball
was forced down the field toward the
Norristown goal Here one of the
pretuest plays OF the game was sue
cessfully made. Gibney heaved

received 1t standing back of the goal

Wilmington fans went wild at this
exhibition OF skillful playing on the
