past actions and to tell the United

NUMBERING INDUSTRIES
OF THE PHILIPPINES
NUMBERING INDUsTRY-INsIDE

NUMBERING INDUSTRY-INSIDE
Washington, D. c., July 9.-There
are some 10000 square miles of tim
Der standing in the Philippines, of
(which two-thirds is virgin forest, &C
Icording to a pamphlet LAUNDERING In
dustry of the Philippines" just issued
by the Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce, of the Department
of Commerce, as No. IS of its Special
Agents Series. The commercial output
of lumber has been steadily increasing
and has practically quadrupled in the
last seven years, amounting to over
l112,000O00 board feet in 1918.
Although the hardwood products of
the Philippine forests rank with the
best in the world for cabinet work,
construction and various uses in which
durability is an essential factor, very
little of the yearly output has reached
the outside world, as the home demand
is more than sufficient to absorb the
whole present supply. The industry is
capable of very great expansion, ac-
cording to those now engaged in the
business. The Director of Forestry
estimates the amount of timber that
could be removed annually without
diminishing the productivity of the for
ests at ten times the present output.
Capital is the principal factor nece5-
sary to develop the industry.
American sawmill and woodworking
machinery will find promising mar
ket as the numbering industry devel-
ops, according to the publication. In
general the American machinery SO
far used has been very we'll liked, and
nearly all sawmill and woodworking
machinery now imported comes from
the United States. About the same
kind of equipment for sawmills as is
used in the United States is in demand
but band-saws and solid-tooth circu-
lar saws, although more efficient, can
be used but little because of the class
of labor available and the difficulty OF
making repairs.
The publication is on sale by the Su-
perintendent of Documents, Govern.
ment Printing Office, Washington D
c., for five cents.

HERE'S A CHANGE To
SELL YOUR BRAIN

Atlanta, July 9.-Have you any
brains to spare? What do you think
they are worth?
Not your time-your brains? oYu
don't have to deliver it until after you
are dead, and then you'll have no
further use for it.
DR.. Auguste de Castellane Sewmore,
famous French specialist, is touring
the country and expects to reach At
lanta soon. He is seeking the secret
which makes great men.
I'm buying up brains" he told a
reporter. Science must have mater
ial with which to work out the great
problem of brain force. I pay we'll for
brains of extraordinary people.
when 1 hear of a man who is do
ing remarkable things, l go to him, l
say When you die, give science your
brain. viii your brain now to me and
l will pay for it. In time the brain
will reach the University of Poioters,
the scientists will assay it, they will
test the gray matter, and by such tests
we hope to tell why one man is a
ninny and another a genius"
DR.. Seymour already has closed con-
tracts for several extraordinary AM
erican brains. 1t is nothing new for
medical colleges and specialists to
buy bodies for dissection, and some
strange tales might be told by the
janitors of Atlanta medical schools ii
they would speak. But specialist il
brains is new.
