excellent for heavy investment of Amer ican capital in the development of the timber industry in South America, said that he was persuaded that speedily South America will secure a place in the timber and lumber industry which Will match that which was obtained by the United States 25 years ago.
 He went on to speak of something which had come within his personal knowledge within a few weeks. He said that representatives of Belgium had been for some weeks in the United States seek ing information which they would carry back to Belgium respecting prices which would be asked for certain kinds of man. ufactured wood commodities. These rep resentatives said that the war had almost completely depleted Belgium of doors Few doors had been left unharmed and many had been destroyed. It was esti- mated that Belgium would need immedi- ately after the end of the war from 250 GOO to 3O0,0O0 doors.
 In no other country than the United States could so large an order as this be accepted and speedily executed. Bel guim's representatives learned what the average price for doors would be and the chances are that there will come from Belguim an order involving the building. and shipping of as many doors as that. rms was assumed 10 be only one example of the demands which will be made upon the United States for manufactured ar tices of wood, like window sashes doors and perhaps floors, even building ma terials, from some of the bel,igerent countries
 The incident was also spoken of as making it clear that not only England and France are now preparing for the re- building of their devastated districts but also little Belgium. So 1t is believed that at last the lumber and timber industry of the United States is on the road which leads to prosperity.

To be perfectly candid, I may as well say at the beginning that I do not play second fiddle to anybody when it comes to an appreciation of Pauline Frederick S supreme art on the screen.
 To my simple movie mind, she is now the chef doeurve of filmland; she hasn't always occupied this position. not at all I've watched her closely; I've been tre- mendously interested in her evolution you might say, as a screen star; I've fol lowed and nourished and applauded her talent and her technique through many administrations.
 There was she in Sold" then came "Zaza;" then Bella Donna" and the movie critics clamored and howled that she had surpassed Mrs. Carter and Nazi- mova. Mrs. Bryant she is now. I be- lieve, but somehow I can't ever reconcile Mrs. Bryant to the exotic, tempera- mental, wiggly, slinky Nazimova any more thRn I could concede Mrs. Jones to the "Divine Sarah or Mrs. Smith to the adorable "Duse." Why do emo tional ladies insist upon marrying gentle men with such unemotonal names a: Bryant" and things like that, I won der?
 Anyway, as I said, people rhapsodizet over Pauline Frederick in her first photo plays: I even did so myself; but (and nov I feel obliged to clear my throat as per fectly good maiden ladies do when they are getting ready to say something eat fur') I claim that those first plays were merely amateur in comparison to wha Pauline Frederick has done in Tht Spider;;" she is simply wonderful: she ls an actress of the very highest order: sht has achieved tremendous heights.
 And how beautiful picture she is in al the lovely, enchanting gowns that sht wears. She made me think of the lovelies Infanta ever painted by Van Dyck. null tiplied by my favorite Romney, with hal the co-efficient of Sir Joshua Reynolds added to both sides of the equation: this is what Pauline Frederick seemed to me

In looking through the magazine index of the library to find if possible some thing about the personality of MT. Rogers Clinton Wooruff, the speaker for the Social Workers luncheon, today at the Hillman hotel, it was noted how pro- life he is as contributor to magazines. Almost every article dealing with some social subject, from labor legislation to the simplest municipal problem, was found from his pen.
 MT. Woodruff is identified with in numerable organizations of a civic nature and is an authority of commission gov- ernment. The Social Workers luncheon bids fair to be a great success. Many members of the association and other persons have signied their desire to be present.

that even though matters were hard and the path not an easy one to contemplate, the baby was very dear and welcome.
 Several months elapsed again and nothing was heard of the family. One day l one of the members of the club living al Fountain Heights, a real mother and by no means a goose. saw a slight, pale woman carrying a large fat baby up the hill. Some queer coincidence made her think of the little Kansas baby and she went down to meet the stranger, who she saw was on her way to the house. Imagine her real surprise and genuine
 pleasure to find the Kansas mother had

SENT TO SOUTH AMERICA

This expert also made careful study of some of the forests in South America and the lesson he learned there was similar to that taught him by the Philippine for ests. Approximately 40 per cent of the timber grown in the South American for ests consists of ''softwood'
 This information, together with certain satisfactory propositions involving con- sessions which were made to American capitalists, justified them in sending one of the best authorities upon the timber industry, not only in this country, but in the world, to South America so that he could inspect a certain tract of some 5000 acres and then report upon it's commercial practicablity to these men of capital His investigation satisfied him that this South American forest grows about 40 per cent of soft wood, and presumably he so reported to those who sent him to South America. The result may be that there will be large investment of United States capital in the timber industry of South America. One reason for this view is based upon the belief of men of large affairs that we are to see speedily a very large revival of demand for lumber not only in the United States but in some of the belligerent nations

VOTES FOR MEN

The Roden hotel frame work has served but little purpose so far except as Blr- mingham Eiffel tower, unless it be of service as a frame work for the suffrage signboard.
 Several weeks ago the local association painted on a yellow background, on this board, the slogan of the cause: Votes for Women.' But southern chivalry, that much abused and overworked appel lation, got busy and erased the first two letters of the last word, making the sign read, Votes for Men,"
 To be sure, this really was intended for fun, but it wasn't such a joke after all, unless it be a joke on the men, for as to almost, and in many cases, posi- lively exclude the men:
 First-The poll tax.
 SecOnd-TWO-year residence for citizen ship.
 Third-Accumulted poll tax.
 Fourth-Literacy test.
 And some others and even if this was not so, some men wouldn't vote if the vote was given to them free and an auto came around to take them to the polls. They just arn't interested, but would rather knock and say what they'd do and let the other fellow do it.
 So, gentlemen of Birmingham, I hesi- tate to call you fellow citizens, whoever you were that tried to be smart with the sign, we suffragists don't resent it one bit. We rather like to see a reminder up for the men. Besides, it shows that the votes for men are not altogether won, anyhow. It also shows how some men are treated, and reminds others that they should use the privilege given them.

REAL APPRECIATION

The Mother Goose club gives baskets full of lovely handmade baby clothes to mothers whose little ones would not be cared for properly, and thus at least give the baby the dignity of being we'll dressed when it starts out, comfortable feeling no matter what age we may be- Some times these baskets get far away from the club, as one did short while back when it went all the way to Kansas to serve little one whose mother was too poor and too busy caring for three other little ones and tubercular husband to get any clothes together.
 The basket was received in good order and soon letter of gratitude followed. After few weeks another letter told of the arrival of the little one and with the real mother spirit came the assurance

New York; February 4-(Special )--Late in the fall reports reached New York from the northwest intimating that the lumber industry was beginning to per- ceive the promise of greatly improved conditions. Some of the leaders in the lumber industry of the northwest sent
 communications to John H. Rich, fed eral reserve agent in the Ninth reserve district at Minneapolis, in reply to re- quest made by him for information re- specting lumber, as well as other indus tries of the northwest. Almost all of these replies were encouraging, and they
 were supplemented by information from the Pacific coast that it seemed likely that there would soon be considerable eX- ports of lumber from ports upon the Pa
 cifc.
 In the financial district in New York this information was pleasing to receive
 since it has been the opinion commonly held that the lumber industry is one of the last to respond to the stimulus which leads to revived business prosperity.
 More has of late been under way. so far as renewed development of lumber in dustry is concerned, than has been real ized by the American people. The chances are excellent that there will be large investment of American capital in a tim Der industry in South America. This will reflect renewed activity not only in the northwest, but also in the south. where already there has been observed increased demand for yellow pine.
 INVESTIGATING THE FORESTS
 A group of American capitalists was
 brought into association through the re- port that there were some 300,00O acres of
 very high-grade timber awaiting develop
 ment in Brazil, about 50 miles from the coast. At first, this information did not cause any interest, chiefly because the
 impression has always been that the timber which grows in the tropics is all most exclusively hardwood timber, as. for instance, mahogany or rosewood. That impression. however. no longer prevails and the change in opinion is due to the exhaustive investigation of one of the best of the forestry experts of the United States. He was sent to the Philippines to study the timber forests there, and there he learned that in the Philippines at least 40 per cent of the forest timber is W hat is called ''softwood."
