WOOD PULP SCARCE IN SPAIN
Supply of GaIcian Pine Has Been Cut
Off by the War-May Use
Native Wood

The shortage in the supply of wood
pulp for paper manufacture in Spain,
and the high prices now demanded for
this product is causing some anxiety
among paper manufacturers and pub
fishers. Attention has been given to
the ACCESSIBILITY of the governments
undertaking to stimulate the cultiva-
ton of the poplar tree, the wood Of
which is preferred for pulp in Spain.
Spain imports almost all the wood
pulp required for its paper industries
and exports to England much of the
pine grown in Galicia, which is highly
resinous and not so well suited for
paper manufacture as the less resnous
pine of Sweden and Norway. Expert
mentS, however, are to be made TO
ascertain if, by extracting the resin,
native Spanish pine. can be used. at
least as temporary substitute. Most
Of the local paper mills, it is stated,
cannot employ rag and jute wastes,
their plants being adapted to wood and
chemical pulpS. Nearly all the waste
material, such as fiber waste, rags and
bagging, are exported, the United
States having become, since the War,
the leading customer.

French in Caricature.

Why is it, wonder, that the French
man always has been-and still is
portrayed in British comic journals in
the traditional guise of a gay boule-
warbler, wearing a Van Dyke beard
and dressed in ridiculous velvet jack
ct such as the Montmartre artists
affect? Marcel BOulenger asks in
Cartoons Magazine.
Do you remember the legendary
MariuS of Marselle, whose droll sill
houette was one of the masterpieces of
poor Caran Caches delightful art?
Such, or nearly SUCH is the portrait &C
corded us-in the most friendly way,
of course-On the other side of the
Channel. In the naive imagery of
the British people it is thus we appear.
And no matter where this strange,
gaudy parsonage shows up, Tommy At
kins affectionately gives vent to
cheers, for he has recognized his COM
rade
But why under the sun should the
sympathetic Tommy picture us like
that? He should know better now. He
surely knows that the average French
man no more resembles Marius than
does the typical Englishman resemble
Lord Dundreary. But no matter. Con-
vention so orders.

Injuries From Poor Lighting.

Most people are guided in their or
binary actions and the precision of
their movements by the sense Of sight,
and many accidents result in spite of
safety devices and educational cam
paigns, because workers are uncertain
of or misjudge their relation to the
immediate environment for the reason
that they cannot see well enough.
Many more, however, occur because

Upon City's Mountain Tops.

Upon the top one of New York's
manmade mountains there is the same
peaceful quiet as on the mountain top,
says the National Geographic Maya
zine No sound from the street below
comes up this distance. Men on the
sidewalks are infinitesimal dots, dart
ing hither and yon. Looking down
upon them one is inclined to reflect
what puny beings humans are, and
from this lofty point of view almost
forgets his sympathy for their per-
sonal interests. Then comes the
realization that this mountain was
built by these puny beings from ma
terials dug out Of the earth in a
crude state, purified, shaped and fas-
tened together in a manner that will
make it stand practically for all time,
and then a feeling of reverence for
the human brain-that God-given
boon which has made these things pos
Sible.
