LUMBERMEN PLAN
BIG ORGANIZATION

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Plans for the
formation of a big organization to
include all associations affiliated in
any way with the lumber industry
were discussed here today at the open
ing of two days conference of lum-
bermen and representatives of the af-
filiated organizations. The new or
ganization probably will be known as
the Forest Products Federation.
The object of the new organization,
lumbermen explained, will be to COM
pile statistics concerning fire losses in
various kinds of construction, TO push
the search for chemical combination
by which woods may be fire-proofed
and to organize an advertising cam
paign, calling the attention of the
public to the advantages Of wood over
other construction materials. The
meeting today was called at the in.
stance of the National Lumber Manu-.
facturers' association.

OHIO MAY PAY THE
FAMILIES OF DRUNK ARDS

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 21-Payment
of state compensation to the depend
ents of drunkards is the plan en-
bodied in a bill introduced during the
present session of the Ohio legisla-
ture by Representative Van S Dea-
ton, Miami county. Deaton would
have the liquor interests foot the bill
and the state make the awards un-
der system similar to the present
workmen's compensation act.
This is chief among the many
freak" measures introduced. Others
include: Prohibiting display of any
red or black flag or any emblems
hostile to the established govern
ment"; protection for skunks; and a
dill providing that no one, not even
the owner, may drive an automobile
without first having passed a state
examination.
The perennial anti-cigaret, anti-tip-
ping and abolition of capital punish
ment bills have bobbed up again. The
capital punishment measure embod-
les new idea. Its author would
have the governor fix the dates for
all electrocutions on the theory that
no chief executive would take the re-
sponsibility for ordering the execution
Of murderers.
Some of these measure already
have met the usual fate of "freak"
bills, having been smothered in com
mittee. Others are receiving consid-
GRAFTON and may be enacted into laws
