available would be sufficient for 40 years supply. During that period the spruce would largely reproduce itself. so that by progressive and careful management of the forest an area of 100000 acres should afford perpetual supply to mill of the capacity given.
 The problem has also been studied by. Clifford Pinchot, the forestry ex- pert, and the valuable and elaborate experiments he has carried out on the subject of the growth of spruce are of special interest. A large area of for est land was carefully examined as to the nature of timber. its condition and It's growth. MT. Pinchot's experiments enabled him to figure the exact amount of timber which could be cut from the forest and the number of years which would elapse before an equal quantity of timber could be cut from the same area. This is best illus. trated as follows:
 The case studied was that of man owning 100000 acres, yielding an av- craze Of seven cords per acre of spruce ten inches or more in diameter,
  much the owner could cut annually if he wished to obtain sustained annual. yield. and how soon he could return to the portion cut over the first year and cut the same amount of timber of about the same diameter limit as at first, MT. Pinchot prepared tables showing the total amount of wood with diameter limit of ten inches to be 100000 cords, while the same yield of pulp wood could be obtained after 37 years. :: The area to be operated an nually would be the thirty-seventh part of 100000, or 2,700 acres, while the annual cut of wood would be the thirty-seventh part of FOG, ,00O, or 19,O0O cords.
 A brief examination of these figures and facts would indicate that there is no apparent danger of either the pulp or the paper industry being deprived of the sources of raw material
 The discovery of the art of making paper has been credited to many men of many nationalitaesl IL has. however, been establishsd beyond a doubt that it originated in the Orient.
 The Hindus and the Arabs learned it from the Chinese. The Arabs, in- vading Spain. brought the art with them and little by little Europe learned from Asia and from Africa how paper was made. Bailey Willis of the Uni ted States geological survey has. gath cred in his travels through China some interesting documents showing how paper was made there many cen turies ago.
 One of these documents is a photo graph taken by him of a double trip hammer used in many parts of the Celestial empire and which, is still tbeing used in some places for making paper from bamboo stalks. The Chi nese papermaker's outfit consisted of several tanks where the bamboo was rotted with water, trip hammer run fsby an undershot water wheel a tray on which the pulp was dried and dyed, resulting at length in strong wrapping paper.
 In the United States the history of papermaking does not cover more than two hundred years. The first paper mill was probably that established by James M. Wilcox, who flourished about 1730. The old mill still stands today in picturesque and fertile val ley of Pennsylvania. The interesting story of this pioneer of what is today

The Big Sister Movement

I'VE note in the Corner the inquiry as
to the organization in the United States
of a big sister movement. There is in
the United States in a few of the larger
cities a movement known as the big
brother and big sister movement. 1t is
based upon the fundamental idea that
many boys and girls reaching the adoles-
cent period, environed at that time by
discouraging and unsatisfactory cond1-
tions in their own homes or in their
places of living, become much disturbed
and discouraged, and if left without
wholesome influence will drift into the
juvenile court. In order to prevent de-
linquency among this class of boys and
girls the big brother and big sister
propose to do a precourt work. That is to
say, men and women in the community,
directed by some definite organization,
may be enlisted to take a personal inter-
est in some one case which is found to
need personal assistance and supervision.
Everyone knows there is an eleemnt in
a boy or girls makeup that is appealed
to by the noble and wholesome life of
men and women with whom they may be
intimately acquainted. Every man can
, remember sometime in his boyhood
when he admired ardently some man in
his community The big brothers and big
sisters are the older men and women
who are able, through this tie of admira-
tion to have a good, wholesome super
vision over these boys and girls, who
are inclined to be discouraged and drift
toward delinquency This plan requires
an organization with a director who is
able to enlist the voluntary services of
man and women willing to give some
time and attention to boys and girls who
may need assistance. 1t might be stated
that if this movement means anything to
the community it means that it should
enlist the interest of all organizations and
individuals desiring to assist in the prob
lem of preventing the downfall of boys
and girls. w. S. r.

Miss White made a study of the mod

dances and the new society dances as
a Fart of the curriclum. Though her
study gave her a mastery of the vari-

clares that outside of the cabarets and

follow the tango steps, they are little

establishing "A personal relationship
that is a tremendous power in safe
guarding the life of the girl in aiding
her to develop into true womanhood,
docs the movement mean that only
delinquents are sought?" / asked.
The movement. said Mrs. Blount,
does not as a rule deal with girls already
delinquent, bat with those that ex-
posed to hard conditions. or to especial
temptations, who need to be encouraged
and to feel that somebody cares whether
!, ols not they win out in the fight. There
are large numbers OF girls, some of them
from country homes, many of them in
their teens, who have no friends old
enough or wise enough to help them in
any real sense. Because of their loneli-
ness and need for sympathy, many of
them drift into follies that otherwise
they would escape. Then too, there are
evil, that have in them young girls that
could be saved from evil If they had the
right kind of help in time.
DO you recall" Mrs. Blount continued
"Gipsey Smith saying in one of his SER
mons that 1T is better to build fences at
the top of the precipice than to maintain
an ambulance corps at the bottom?' That
expresses the situation entirely. The big
sisters are fence builders. They believe
that where things are growing, forma-
ton means much more than reformation
The help they give does not necessarily
imply financial aid. but it is something
very much more valuable it is helping
by the giving of sympathy, of friendship,
in its best sense. Not every woman can
do it, but many grasp at the opportunity"
How do you get in touch with the
little sisters'-those who need help?' L
asked.
1.-The welfare department Of the city,
through Mrs Searight, provides the
names of girls who can be helped. was
the reply. There are other methods en-
ployed as we'll. The most significant
feature of the big sister movement is
the campaign of education which has
been started. In New York the big sis
ter movement has reached large proper
tions. 1t has been in existence for a
number of years. and makes fine show
ing of results accomplished. The plan is
spreading over the country, and Birming-
ham is the first southern city to under
take it community work. 1t has no
machinery of its own, but is promoted
by existing machinery. The big brother
movement was launched at the Bible
Training school last October as an ac-
tivity of the mems adult Bible class de-
partment in connection with the juvenile
court, and has been highly successful
in its outcome. We are hoping for great
results of our work, which is one of the
most vital activities we have ever under
taken"
