BRIER ROOTS FOR PIPE MAKING.

Brier pipes, made from the roots of the French white heath (Erica arbo- real, were first introduced into Eng lanu in 1859. The plant hourishes in all countries bordering upon the Med iterranean and grows to a height of 3S to 45 inches. In this district it is the custom to cut the long, tough, young shoots each year, bind them to- gether, and sell them for use in sweeping streets in cities and towns. Outside of this the plant is allowed to grow for three or four years, when the roots will have developed suhi- ciently to permit cutting them, enough of the plant being left to per init cuttings eXery three years.
 The roots most in demand for pipe making, acertain aroma and bright ness of wood being the test, are those obtained from the Tuscan Maremme in the neighborhood of Follonica, Ce- cina and GroSseto. They are pre- ferred by manufacturers to those from any other part of Italy, or from Algeria or the Orient Most of the land in the Tuscan Maremme growing these roots is owned by French and British concerns, who maintain ware houses and workshops on or near their lands where the roots are washed, boiled, and roughly shaped, after which they are sorted by size, color, and quality.
 They are shipped from these ware houses to France, Great Britain and, before the war, Germany, where they are made into the pipes known to commerce. From those countries ex- ports of the finished product were made to all parts of the world.

BELGIAN VETERAN MISSING
 FROM COMPANY NJ, HARRISON

Little Rock, July 7.-Company M, of Harrison, would like to know the whereabouts of Latresse, the Belgian veteran who enlisted with the company at Harrison. He left camp early in the week saying that he was going to the hospital But he did not report at the hospital, and he has not return ed to camp. It looks like a case of assertion. An example will probably be made of him, should he be fouod
 Latresse is said to be a most likable fellow. He was a great favorite with the boys. He sang in five languages, and gave most entertaining accounts of his experience on the firing line in Europe One finger was shot off, and he bears the sears of other wounds gotten at the front He was in the bloody battle about the Ypres salient, and judging from his wounds must have been in the thick of the fray

SIXTEEN MILLIONS IS
 AUTO FEES FOR ROADS
Continued from Page One.)


 -~>~>->->~>-~~>~>-~~~-~->~ for perennial registration. Most of the States, however, also levy annual taxes on motor vehicles and this adds importantly to the public rveenue con- tributed by the owners of motor-pro- pelled vehicles.
 In the use of fees, however, there seems to be a general policy of apply ing the major part of the money col lected from automobilists directly to road betterment. In 42 states of the Union all or the major portion of the motor-vehicle revenue must be eX- pended for the construction, improve ment or maintenance of the public roads, or for the maintenance of the State Highway Department. In 20 States, all or the major portion of the net motor-vehicle revenues are eX- pended by or under the supervision or direction of the State Highway De- partment. In seven States half to OH6-lOQIll OI tue 0ldlC iuOlOI ~ C- hicle revenues are expended through the State Highway Department, and the remainder by the local authori- ties. Many States, in addition to ap- plying license fees to road construc- tion eXpend for this purpose large part of the fines and penalties col lected from owners.
 California Leads in Fees Collected.
 In the number of registrations New York State led in 1915 with 255,242; Illinois was second with 1S0.S32; Cali fornia third with 163, ,797; and Penn sylvania fourth with l60,137. In gross revenues received from this source, however California led with $2,027,432; New York was second with $1,9911S1; Pennsylvania third with ST ,665.276, while Iowa. with l45,- GOO cars registered, came fourth in point of revenue with $1,533,O5I.

(From the Forest Service, U. S. De-
partment of AgricuIture.)
About 100 million feet of timber was
cut on the national forests in 1915.
Experiments with jack pine have
shown that it is well suited for making
kraft paper On some of the national
forests this tree is used to plant land
which is too poor to grow other timber.
A new fire-fghting tool has been in
vented by forest ranger in Cali

to be the best tool of the sort yet
devised.

raises oranges galOre-what about
selling Spanish oranges to Americas
teeming millions?
ThereupOn, as the story is whis-
pered about, Mr.. Veditz very tactfully
submitted that more and better or
anges are raised In the U. S. A. than
anywhere else In the world, and that
he was very regretfully forced to the
admission that, much as he desired
otherwise, there could be nothing do
ing in oranges. Just stretch your
imagination bit here, and without
violating official secrets, you may both
hear and see Mr.. Veditz warming to
his argument and driving home this
clinching fact "Your majesty, nations
may live without oranges, but show me
anywhere on the face of the globe the
modern nation which can live without
coal"
A few strokes of the kingly pen
wiped out the transportation tax-and
we are now selling coal to Spain to
beat the band.

RECORD COAL OUTPUT
Increased Consumption by Railroads
and Industries Cause Boom in
First Six Months Of Year.

Uncle Sans figures show that the
output of bituminous coal in the Unit
ed States during the first six months
of 1916 was the greatest ever recorded
in any half-year period.
Estimates by G. e. Lesher of the
geological survey, based on returns
from over hundred railroads origi-
mating coal and@eoke shipments, indi-
cate that the production during this
period was 261 100000 tons, an in
crease Of 80 per cent over the first six
months of 1915, and of 8 per cent
over the last six months of the same
year, and greater by several million
tons than the record established in
the last half of 1913.
Compared with the first half of 1915,
the exports from the Atlantic seabOard
during the first six months of 1915 in
creased about 10 per cent, and the
exports to Canada nearly doubled.
The movement of bituminouS coal
through the 500 canal on the Great
Lakes showed an increase of so per
cent, and the coal used in cooking has
increased nearly half.
Increased consumption by railroads
and by the iron and steel and nearly
all other industries has been a large
factor in establishing this record.
From April, 1915, to January of the
present year the production of bitumi-
nous coal increased at rapid rate,
with but temporary slackening in No
vember and December, due to car
shortage. The output in January, 1915,
was more than 60 per cent greater
than in April, 1915, and the production
in February and March, 1916, was
nearly as great.
There is every indication that the
production during the last six months
of 1916 will equal il not exceed the
first six months, and that the output
in the calendar year 1916 will exceed
500,0Oo,000 tons, establishing a new
record for bituminouS coal.

Some Good Camp Stories

The Sixth regiment lost $50 men
who failed to qualify in the federal
muster examinations On reaching
camp the Sixth was nearly 300 men
below war strength. There is a dix
vergence of opinion among officers
here as to the prospects of gaining any
time in obtaining the required number
of recruits.
Maj. Cunningham Of the Sixth was
official "booze confiscator" at the end
of the car line one night. The amount
removed by ''frisking" grows less
nightly. as the menkrealize the prohi-
bition order is to stand. It's "off to
the guard house" for those caught
with contraband liquor.
The camp humorist reports that
the chief Quartermaster's issue OF
tooth brushes has arrived and has
been distributed. He goes on to say
that each regiment gets twelve, one
for each company.
A score of guard house prisoners
were lined up by officers, and armed
with brooms instead of rifles, started
on hike around camp to de sanitary
squad duty. This is one Of the pen
alties for misdemeanora. The duties
Of the sanitary squad are menial in
the extreme. The scrubbing process
takes in every building in the regi-
mental camp and the work must be
done to the entire satisfaction Of the
officers of the sanitary corps, who. in
these days Of inspections and agita.
tions. are insistent upon the utmost
tidiness Of ell quarter"
