Why the Cord of Wood Shrinks.

Ralph Faulkner and Henry Stern
berg, students in the College of For
eStry at the University of Washington,
have proved by experiment that a cord
of full-length wood when sawed and
replied in the ordinary stack shrinlIs
on an average 24.76 per cent. AS deal
ers buy wood in full lengths and usu-
ally measure it for delivery before saw
ing it, they are often accused of giving
short measure.
A cord" is the standard measure
ment of wood, and it is defined as 12S
cubic feet of wood, measured by pile
four feet high and eight feet wide of
logs four feet long.
The discrepancy between the cord
as bought by the dealer and as deliv-
cred to the customer, according to
Prof. Hugo Winkenwerder, dean of the
college, is not entirely explained by
the sawdust. When wood is piled up
in four-foot lengths there are many
spaces between sticks, caused by knots
and curvatures. These spaces are
eliminated when the wood is cut up
small.

VILLA MEETS DEFEAT
BANDIT SUFFERS BIG LOSSES IN
CHIHUAHUA BATTLE.
LARGE Numbers of Attacking Force
Left Dead on the Field,
Say Carranzistas.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 25.-Francisco
Villa withdrew his surviving forces
in defeat from Chihuahua City at 6:15
o'clock Thursday night, after battle
of seven hours, during which he made
fruitless attempts to carry General
Trevino's protecting works by assault.
General Trevino repulsed a fourth
mass attack by Villa forces, the ban
dts being driven from their temporary
intrenchments with heavy losses, it
was announced in JuareZ. The de
facto troops now are pursuing the
bandits toward the south, the same
report from Chihuahua City stated.
General Trevino has about 5000 men.
General Trevino's artillery, which
carried the brunt of the attack, did
heavy execution on the ranks of the
bandits, according to a message Cen
eral Gonzales said he had received
from the state capital. Many Villa
prisoners were taken by the Carranza
forces when detachment of infantry
and cavalry made a sally from the
city, he SAID.
At 80 p. m, two hours and half
after Villa began his attack, the noise
of bursting shells and discharging
field pieces was said to deafen.
General Trevino had 20 fieldpieces
stationed on the Santa Rosa and other
hills in the suburbs of Chihuahua City,
military men in Juarez say, and there
were several French 75s included in
this number.
Villa in person was leading his
forces against the Carranza troops,
according to the reports received at
the Juarez military headquarters
from Chihuahua City. The bandit
leader is said to be riding horseback
with his crutch strapped to his sad
die.
