this is not SO, because there are other
persons mentioned in the law who
may solemnize a marriage. Indeed, in
many of the states common-law mar

forest of the United States as
~ an addition to our group OF
national forests-not a play
forest or park" but the big Pisgah
tract of 10000 acres in North Caro-
lima, formerly owned by the late
George w. Vanderbilt, and during the
past 25 years transformed by him from
a wild and partly denuded area into
a highly productive, commercial forest,
writes Guy Elliott Mitchell in the Utica
Globe.
If scientific forestry, including prac-
teal numbering. timber reproduction,
fire fighting and prevention of denu-
dation and erosion were an entirely
new science in America, Uncle Sam
could have no better example of all
these things actually worked out than
In this magnificent Pisgah forest.
The area was purchased from Mrs.
Vanderbilt at the nominal figure of
S. an acre, which may be consid-
cred gift to the American people
from Mrs. Vanderbilt of 5000, 000-the
difference between the purchase price
and that at which the Pisgah forest
was offered to the government by Mr..
Vanderbilt. This is by far the finest
forest yet acquired under the Weeks
national forest act, yet the cost is less,
thanks to Mrs. Vanderbilts generosity,
than the average of all the other tracts
purchased by the government, which
aggregate nearly million acres.
Precipitous and Lofty Area.
The Pisgah forest area, which is an
outlying section of the famous Van
derbilt Biltmore estate, was critically
examined by the United States govern
ment in 1912 with view to possible
purchase, in conformity with the pro-
visions of the Weeks law, which re-
quires the United States geological
purchase, with respect to the effects
of their forest cover on the naviga-
bility of the streams, or their tribu-
taries flowing through. These inyes-
legations proved the value of the noun

waters that feed the French Broad
river. which unites with the Holston
river at Knoxville, to form the navig-
able Tennessee river.
Overlooking the valleys, this area is
one of the most precipitous and lofty
in the eastern United States, a dozen
or more SUBMITS of the great Pisgah
range rising above 5000 feet. The
rainfall is heavy and the creeks and
streams flow with swift currents which
erode and rapidly gully out the steep
unprotected slopes. carrying down into
the streams great quantities of soil
and sediment from such areas as have
been wastefully numbered. cleared or
burnt over. The protection of the
forest cover, therefore, becomes vital

rivers as we'll as in the preservation
of their valuable water powers.

1000 Girls Strike
at Corset Factory

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 16.-The
greatest corset factory in the world,
that of the Warner Brothers Company,
is likely TO be closed down in a few
days as the result of a strike this af-
ternoon. Two thousand bras ,cre
makers, cutters, fossers and box work
crs, all girls, went on strike for an
eight-hOur day
Several thousand more, including the
men, may strike tomorrow or the day
after and cripple the plant. Scarcity of
skilled labor will cause the plant to be
closed in that event.
When the girls in the brassiere de-
partment attempted TO quit this morn
ing they found they were locked in.
Guards were az the doors, and they
had to wait until noontime to get out.
More than 1000 went on strike at noon
and the rest came out during the
afternoon.
The strike follows close upon the
granting Of the ffty-hour week by d.
II. Warner, president of the company.
The girls rejected the offer.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Warner for meeting with a com
mittee from the strikers at II o'clock
tomorrow.
About one hundred metal workers at
the plant of the American and British
Company, mountain artillery makers,
quit this afternoon. They demand bet
ter pay The strike will interfere with
government contract work.

PRESIDENT ORDERS
SHIPPING INQUIRY
Commerce Commission Will In
vestigate Conditions of Trade
with South America.
[From Tic Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Aug. 16.-An investiga-
ton which will cover all phases of
American ocean commerce, with par
ticular reference to trade with South
and Central America and the principal
countries of Europe, will be begun by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in few days. at the request of Presi-
dent Wilson. 'ine investigation was
suggested TO the President by Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo as a
logical sequence to the discussion Of
the need of better steamship facilities
between the United States and South
and Central America at the recent
Pan-American Financial Conference.
The Treasury Department and the
Department Of Commerce will cooper
ate with the commission in making the
inquiry. which will furnish, it is
thought, arguments TO be used at the
next session of Congress in favor of
some form of governmental owned or
leased steamship lines. The commits
sion will ascertain, particularly, what
kind Of steamship service exists be-
tween our leading ports and those Of
South and Central America and those
of Europe. This will be compared
with the service as it existed before
the European war began. The rates
for passengers and cargoes prior to
the war and since and the effect of
present shipping conditions on Ameri-
can foreign commerce will be brought
out.
1t is hoped the commission will be
able TO make it's report before the CON
vening of Congress in December.
