DIFFERENCES. NOT FRICTION

Those who are well informed respect ing the management of the United States Steel corporation are aware that it is rep resented by about seven men. As a group they reflect possibly. the ablest business statesmanship now occupied with great things in theS industries of the United States. Inevitably, where a body of strong men sits in consultation there may arise differences of opinion, and this is regarded as entirely healthful.'
 If there are differences expressed by members of this group they are thrashed out, and this is all there is to the reports that have been widely circulated that serious friction exists in the Steel cor poration management In the sense that friction means aggressiveness or entails personal feeling or is likely to lead to rupture nothing of this kind has hap pened since the United States Steel cor poration was organized. or at least for the past six or seven years. M
 Probably there is no group of men oc- cupied with large affairs or directly re- sponsfble for the management of large organization which on the whole is so free from speculation upon a large scale as is this group. Judge Gary never spec ulates and his ideal of his conduct as chairman of the board leads him to re- frain even from innocent amusements For instance, he never touches card, be- ing careful that there may be nothing in his conduct which will raise the slightest suspicion as to his judgment or his busi- ness integrity. There are reasons for be- lieving that the management of this cor poration now has some very important plans under consideration, all of them being based upon the necessity for high

SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT

If the lumber industry is a fair test and it is certainly the last of the tests to be made-of reviving business activi- ties, then there are some evidences that this test is at last being successfully made. Gradually--not very rapidly but encourag gingly-this business is beginning to show signs of improvement. There already have come to the yellow pine in terest of the south increased orders with indications that in the year 1916 these will be considerably increased Exports also of lumber from the northwest are growing.
 Probably the best reason for believing that the long-sleeping lumber industry is at last awakening is to be found in reports from all parts of the country that it looks as though there would be great activity this year in building of all kind. That will make d large demand for lum- Der. The relation of the railroads to the lumber industry was some years ago pointed out by James J. Hill, and, in fact, demonstrated by him to be of great inn portance. Railroad prosperity involves the buying of a good deal. of lumber, but in addition the improvement in the lumber market entails increas SC in rail- road earnings, especially those of the northwest.
 There seems to be no doubt that the last signal which is symbolic of revived in- dustry is now being made in the lumber markets and the lumber districts of the TTpita6 Statoc

New York January 16.=-(Speclal l--lhe latest report which tells of the untitled orders of the United States Steel corpora ton has been referred to as con vincing proof that business pros perity is here. But a little over year ago the late Norman B. Ream said that the best proof that business revlvai has come will be furnished by the lnmber trade of the United States. In the far west and in the northwest, one Of the tests of business activity is the condition of the lumber business There the barom- etef has been very low for several years. Anxiety prevailed lest the new tariff schedules in combination with the, open ing of the Panama canal would provide dangerous competition for the lumber man of the far west.
 At the beginning of the European war, when the first impulses created by war orders placed in the United States were being felt, there was no response in the far northwest to this stimulus. Now 1t is reported that the unfavorable business news which came from that part of the country represented in great measure the stagna tion of the lumber interests.

The combined area of Pan-America,

square miles, of which the Latin
American countries occupy approx
mately 100000 and the United States

America is better realized when it is
compared with that of Europe, which

Asia, which has 100000, a writer

Alaskan Timber.

In accordance with the recent act
of congress, the wood needed in build
ing the government railway in Alaska,
from Seward, on the Pacific, All miles
to Fairbanks, in the interior, will be
taken free of charge from the Chu-
zach national forest. The forest serv-
ice has issued a permit to the Alas
kan engineering commission to cut
85,000,000 feet of timber in designated
areas along the right of way of the
new railway, which will run for sew
eral miles through the Chugach ma
tional forest. Forest service EN-
ployees are now marking the timber
to be cut-only mature trees, the re-
moval of which will improve the for
est. That will be the largest quantity
of timber ever felled in the Alaskan
forests as part of one undertaking.
1t will be nearly twice as large as the
total quantity Of timber now cut in the
national forests and annually put to
local uses throughout Alaska, but only
a little more than one-tenth of the es-
timated annual growth of the Alaskan
forests. The two national forests of
Alaska contain about 100000, 600
feet of nerchantable timber, and the
forest service estimates that more
than SO0,00O000 feet could be cut ev-
cry year forever without lessening
their oductivity.-Youth's Compan-

The Pity of SeIf-Plty.

Self-pity is INDUCED in by most men.
Some more, some less. The human
mind is so constituted that under
certain conditions of stress, it turns
upon itself and says: You poor,
abused thing" The ruination which
is wrought by 1t appears in the fact
that when man pities himself he
does SO for the very reason that ought
to lead him to self-condemnation He
pities his weaknesses, rather than
reforming them. He coddles his in
firmities, when they need to have the
punishment which pugilists give each
other. No man ever pitied himself
when he is doing the hard things-we
mean, really doing them. While man
Is being brave the thoughts Of being
abused or i'll treated are impossible
thoughts to him. The business man

"ALARM" THAT is NOlSELESS
Upon to Awaken Even the
: Soundest Sleeper.

Alarm watches that signal the time
for which they are set by shrill ring
ing are common, but "noiseless"
alarm watch which accomplishes the
same result is entirely new.
The story has been told of married
man who possessed a ringing alarm
watch and who, with his wife, was
awakened every morning by the silvery
tinkle Of the watch under his pillow.
1t took this mans wife five years, SO
the story goes, to discover that the
alarm watch and not the neighbours
alarm clock was really awakening her
every morning. Tho noiseless alarm
watch, however, performs its early
morning task differently. The noise
less alarm consists of cord which
tightens about the wrist, the pressure
gradually increasing until released by
the wearer Of the watch. This is ac-
complished by pushing small slide
and twisting the. stem of the watch a
half turn.-World's Advance.

The Armenian Pompeii.
Ami is a remarkable ruined Ar
menian city in the heart of the eau
casus battefields. Its thick, crum-
bling walls and the ragged foundations
of it's ancient buildings, mayhap, have
served, since the outbreak of the great
war, as defenses for the Russian or
Turkish soldiers. Ami is the Ar
nenian Pompeii.
The ruins lie in a rolling, parched,
upland country, almost deserted. They
are HcdI Tic
way, little more than thirty miles
south of Alexandropol, and some thir-
ty-five miles from the Russo Ottoman
boundary. There is a steep hill to
the south and east of the stored cap
ital of the old Armenian kingdom,
and through a tortuous gorge beside
the dead city flows the Arpa Chat, a
weird, bright-green river This is the
site of the last great city of free
Armenian people. -
Ami was once a famous, splendid
capital, the "city with the 1901

throughout the Caucasus, and as far
as England in the West. All that re.

men or engines. and the people have
cause to be alarmed when a fire
breaks out
Thomas and William lived on a
farm. Thomas was fourteen and Will
liam twelve, but they were sturdy lads
and knew how to work.
one morning their father and
mother went to the city to be gone
all day, and after the boys finished
their work they went into the woods
for berries.
They had filled their pals and were
returning home when William said:
Father and mother must have come
back early. l can see the smoke from
the chimney"
Thomas did not answer for a min
ute, and then he said: THAT. smoke
Is not coming from the chimney; it
looks as though one of the buildings
Is on fire."
Both boys ran as fast as they could.
and then when they were nearer Will
liam said: ITS the barn, and we must
get the horses OUT
The poor animals were kicking
about In their stalls and frantically
tugging at their halters.
I'VE must wet our handkerchiefs
and tie them over our mouths" said
William, running to the pump. 1t takes
more time to tell about it than it took
the boys to do this. Then they ran
into the barn and united the two
horses and led them out.
Thinking that they would look out
for themselves, the boys began pump
ing water to pour on the flames.
They wet their heads again and
went into the barn with pals of water,
when the horses came running in and
acting In the most frantic manner
One of them knocked William to the
floor, and in the smoke Thomas did
not see him, and supposing that he
would catch one of the horses, Thorn
as caught the other, and led him out
and tied him to a tree.
When William did not appear he
began to be frightened, for the flames
were coming up through the floor, but
Thomas did not stop to think Of that.
He knew William was in the burning
barn.
Wetting his face and head again, he
ran into the barn. His feet struck
something, and he felt to see what it
