Forest Lands Put to Many Uses

Almost every conceivable use to
which land may be put is represented
in the permits reported by the forest
service for special projects on the
national forests. Some of the uses
shown range, alphabetically, from
apiary through brickyard, cannery,
cemetery. church, cranberry marsh.
fox ranch, marine railway, rifle
range and turpentine still to wharf
and whaling station.
There are 1900 permits in force
for such special uses, which are dis
tributed geographically from Alaska
to the Mexican line and east to Flor
ida. This figure does not include any
of the $1,000 permits in force for
grazing cattle and sheep on the for
ests, nor the 5000 transactions for
the sale of timber, and the more than
$4,000 permits issued last year for
the free use of timber by settlers,
miners and others in developing their
homesteads and claims; nor the near
" 300 permits for water power de-
velopment
California led all the national for
est States in the number of these
special use permits, followed by Ari-
IONA, Colorado, Montana and New
Mexico in the order named. The
largest single class of permits was
for special pastures, or corrals, to
be used for lambing grounds, shear

and fumes, practically all of these
being free. Various agricultural per-
mits come third, telephone lines
fourth, with more than a thousand
permits for 6,51J miles of line, and
drift fences for the control of grazing
animals, fifth. In both of these lat
ter classes, too, practically all of
the permits arc free. Reservoirs for
which more than 800 free permits
were issued for the occupation of
more than 100000 acres come sixth.

Der of apiaries, camps, summer
hotels and schools. The use of the
governments lands for schools is
given free; for hotels q charge is
made.
The principle which governs the
charge is based, according to the
forest service, on whether or not the
use of the land is sought by the per-
mittee for commercial purpose. IL
it is the intent of the user to make
money from a resource which belongs
to the whole people, the service holds
that he would give a reasonable re-
hand, farmers want to use govern
ment land for their own telephone
lines, irrigation works and schools,
the government gives them that use
without cost.

SKYSCRAPERS ON WANE

is declared on competent authority
that few buildings of more than
twenty-one stories in New York city
pay q creditable dividend.
One building of more than thirty
stories, that earned fourteen per cent.
for the first few years. hardly makes
expenses now. The same authority
relates that in another high build
ing it IS difficult to rent above the
fortieth story.
The conclusion of those who have
observed the diStaste of the renteF
fer upper floors is that the ideal sky
scraper will be from fifteen to twenty
stories high. In a very few districts
OF the most popular cities the effect
of a restrict on of tn s kind win be
to increase rents, or to reduce office
space and make quarters more COM
pact, or, on still another hand, to
perfect interior planning. so that
there will be much less unutilized
space than there Is today.
The economy of interior space in
modern buildings is interesting. Long
corridor vistas and much waste space
marked the older buildings before
the era of steel structures, and in
the earlier steel-framed lofts there
was an unnecessary devotion OF
srace to corridors. Today the dis
trlbution of elevators and the evo-
luton of wings m nimize the need of
corridors, either for passage or for
lighting. 1t is not improbable, how
ever, in view of the conclusion con-
corning the inutility of very tall
buildings, that further economies of
space will be obtained.

translating the English word he

then giving the French word a Ger
man form. And as often as not he
will hit the mark. There is a very
large class of German verbs which
form their ending in ''ieren," such as
"marschieren," ''parieren,'' "dictie-

rived from the French. Nor is it I'M

Germany French words which in

There are certain shops to be found

dresser is actually spoken of as a
"Friseur," because it Is impossible

BY MARI
The story of Princess Elizabeth or
Isabelle of Valois and Don Carlos of
Spain has been so often woven into
romance and story that 1t barely
needs to be repeated. Elizabeth was
born in Paris, April 10, 1545 Her
mother was Catherine de Medici and
her father was King Henry ii. Her
godfather was Henry VII. of England,
who Immediately proposed marriage
for the baby princess and his own
young son, Edward VI. Unfortunate
ly Edward died before this plan could
ne carried out al EnZaDeth was
again open to the proposals of royal
suitors. Among them was Philip Ill.
of Spain, who begged the hand of
Elizabeth for his son Carlos. Before
the arrangements were settled, how
ever, Philips wife-Queen Mary Tudor
of England-died and Philip deter
mined to sue for the princess as his
own bride rather than for his son
Carlos. This arrangement was per-
fectly satisfactory to the French king,
and so when Elizabeth was fourteen
she was married at the cathedral of
Notre Dame in Paris to Philips proxy,
who wrote back to the king that the
princess was extremely agreeable and
could easily make him forget his grief
for his former wife.
From Paris the little princess went
to Spain, asking all sorts of questions
as she went along, She wanted to
know what kind of houses the people
lived in, how they dressed, how they
talked and what they looked like.
When she first beheld her husband she
stared at him in open-eyed wonder.

WHAT FURTHER SACRIFICES IN STORE?

with Colombia by which to pay $25 900 600,
make abject apology for building the Panama
canal and surrender advantages which Colombia
had been willing to grant, these advantages being
disfavored by England.
Repeal at the dctation of Great Britain of a
national law made sacred by the almost universal
approval of the American people is bad enough
duty thrust upon Congress by the President but this
Colombian treaty which is supplement to the tolls
repeal law, makes the duty revolving. Has the ad-

when women had rather discuss

they should know that much of the

waste in food. The national society,

MARSHALL.
"Ah," said he bitterly, you are
looking at my white hairs" At about
the same time the new queen saw
Carlos, whom she might have mar
ried but for the kings interference.
He was a morbid young prince and
already fretted under his fathers
authority, and it was small wonder
that they were interested in each
other. Besides, the queen was beauti-
full. Her figure possessed an appear
ance of majesty, in spite of her youth,
such as had never been seen in Spain
before. Her clothes were magnificent.
She never wore one dress twice and
each one cost at least three hundred
ecus. The outcome of it all was that
Carlos and Elizabeth fell very much
in love with each other. The morbid
minded Carlos brooded over his I'M
happiness and refused to be COM
forted. In 1868, when Elizabeth was
twenty three, he was cast into prison
and died there-supposedly by foul
play. A few months later, Elizabeth
followed him to the grave. Some
historians say she died of grief and
others say that she was the victim
of tie same plot that carried off her
unfortunate lover. There are even
some matter of-fact historians who
say that romance had nothing to do
with the episode, that political rea-
sons, not jealousy, explain the sud-
den taking off of Don Carlos. But
in the meantime the story of Don
Carlos continues to be one of the
favorite subjects for the imagination
of story writer's.

Women Vote Much Like Men.
n the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Chicago's first election since wom-
en- could vote there will doubtless
receive much study and doubtless
excite much comment. Doubtlessly,
also, the comment will vary as wide
ly as do opinions regarding the pro-
priety and the eXpediency of woman
suffrage.
some people, of course. viii lay
much stress on the fact that, OF the
1000 women who registered, only
100000 were sufficiently interested in
the election, in spite of all the talk
there has been about 1t, to go to the
polls. The fact, however, that slight
ly less than 80 per cent. of the women
voters failed to do their duty-or to
exercise their privilege, If one chooses
to look at IL that Way-must be In
terpreted in the light of the other
fact, that only slightly more than 30
per cent. of the registered men took
the trouble to vote. This, in ordinary
circumstances, would be taken as
showing that popular concern about
the result of the election was not
keen; but the circumstances We're
not ordinary, and the suffragists will
find IL difficult to explain, and still
more difficult to excuse, the conduct
OF their stay-at-homes.
That all the woman candidates
were defeated, and with the biggest
majorities by their least reputable
rivals, is another mystery for which
many and various solutions will be
offered.
But what does stand clearly out of
these Inists of uncertainty Is that
Chicago has struck a heavy, perhaps
fatal, blow at the belief so confidently
expressed by every suffragist that the
woman voters in any community
would stand together and exert,
whether successfully or not, all their
influence in behalf of the causes that
especially interested them as a sex.
There is no evidence or even hint Of
such solidarity in these returns. The
woman vote was a divided one, and
evidently divided along just the lines,
good and bad with which men have
made us familiar.

1t is not known who invented, or

seems, been known since the dawn of

Chinese appear to have delighted their
palates with some sort of sugar for
more than 1900 years; and it was
known in India earlier than in Europe,
being made from juicy reed or cane.

Great is said to have carried sugar to
Greece in the year 1926 B. c., as Sir

one hectare of land yielding fourteen
tons of fibre, which produces about
eight tons of pulp. The cultivation

are two or three harvests a year. The
process of treatment is simple: The

Why Be Rich?

What's the of having money
To buy all that you crave?

And you don't have TO save
There's lots of joy in wanting things
And planning what you'd pay;
But you'd be robbed of planning thus
Ii riches came your way.
Cause you could have and you could go,
Now what's the use of so much dough?
With millions aid away you'd fret
And fuss and fume and scold.
You'd wonder how much more you'd get
You'd worry bout your gold
You couldn't own and boss it, too,
The money'd have hold on you.
There's lots of fun in laying way
Some money now and then
In planning for rainy day
You'd censure what you spend
1t makes you feel it's up to you.
You lose gain by what YOU do.
&c. in the long run, pleasure goes
To men with patched up britches,
How true the saying, you can't buy
Your happiness with riches"
