COMMERCIAL De MAND LEssENINe.

Recently various governmental de
partments, cooperating in the study
of conditions in the lumber business
have been getting their data in hand
and some general features of the sub
ject will be discussed in a report
whose issuance is expected early in
the new year. 1t will be followed by
supplemental reports dealing with con-
ditions in various sections of the coun-
try.
The Federal Trade Commission.
Forest Service, and Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce have been
working together in the investigations.
On December II big conference of
representatives of the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association with
the trade commission will be held in
this city, which in some ways will be
unique. For the first time a great ma
tional industry has asked a Federal
agency to investigate it and tell it
what is the matter with it. A decade
ago such an investigation would have
of the Federal authorities. and with
the expectation of finding or making
trouble. Now, the industry asks for
investigation, and instead of placing
obstacles in the way, offered to place
all books, documents, and information
freely and fully at the disposal of the
Government agents.
In Bad Way
The lumber industry is in bad way,
and admits it. 1t touched high-water
mark of prosperity about 1907, and
has been in the doldrums ever since
the panic at the close of that year.
For twenty years before that time,
there had been an era of intense spec
ulation in timber lands Vast areas
had been traded in at persistently ris-
ing prices: millionaires and multi-mil-
lionaires had been made in incredibly
short times through the increase in
value of stumpage. The standing TIM
Der had been largel concentrated into
small number of gigantic combina-
lions. and the country saw nothing
ahead but the prospect Of paying in
creasing tribute to a timber trust
which was diligently muckraked in Of
fetal and unofficial discussion.
But things have not turned out as
was then expected. The big combina-
tions bought at high prices, issued
great amounts of securities, and then
failed to turn tSSeir holdings into prof
its quickly. Their lands had largely
been Government property; but as
soon as they passed into private own
ership they became subject to taxa
ton. Carrying not only the burden of
taxes, but also that of meeting inter-
est of heavy capitalization, they found |
the outlook anything but roseate To |
own half million acres Of the finest !

not Interfere with the Christmas out

was explained he declared he doesn't
know anything at al about it, There

many games and Just as many toys OF
all kinds as ever. In fact, there are
more Toys than ever and host OF

| Toy experts declare that while the
effect of the war on the toy trade
might be felt to a certain extent next
year it will be three or four years be-
fore it can be of any serious detri-
ment In the meantime the manufac-
turers Of American toys are becoming
more expert. They are turning out a
number of mechanical novelties this
year. The doll trade will be the first
to suffer from the war. And this will
be because essential parts Of dolls
come from countries that are at war
with each other. The most popular
material for hair for dolls comes from
England. and is shipped to Germany,
where the heads are made, and then
to France for the bodies Germany
makes practically all Of the bodies for
its own dolls, but the French dolls
must get their heads from Germany
that is, the best dolls.

come mostly from Germany, will not

material for the ornaments is 10 be

war is over the manufacturers can get

mechanical games that come from
England are on hand in larger quanti-
ties than ever In the mechanical

added this year, including electric
motors.
There are two great novelties this
year: The Tinker Toy" which is one
of those things that children make up
from spare parts. These spare parts
are furnished in all sorts and sizes,
and all kinds Of things can be made
from them. Then there is a rather
curious educational device called
"Chemcraft," which is nothing more
than a few elemental lessons in chem
istry with which to make number of
and mysterious expert
ments.
Thought Santa Claus doesn't know
it. the war has had an influence on the
toy makers because they have been
out all sorts of submarine
toys. One of the most popular with
those who have seen it is the game
by which contentants shoot wooden
torpedoes at toy battleship from
submarine and the contestant who
hits the battleship in certain culner-

Of course, the ship can readily be put

Liberty in Sleeves.

There is a delightful liberty in the realm Of arm covering To each arm it's sleeve is evidently the creed of the designers at the moment. If woman wishes to let an admiring public see that she has been given the rare gift of a lovely arm she may adopt the Grecian shoulder drapery which serves as a sleeve, but is careful not to hide q fraction of the arm.
