ing supplies of the lake states for the needs of
the middle West.
In addition to the principal pulp-supplying
from tests made by the government that at least
II other species are suitable for the manufacture
of pulp. Some of these new species are Engle-
mann spruce, ~lodgepole pine, white fir and other
cheap and plentiful coniferous woods of the West.
At least ten of these woods were found to be
good enough for newsprint, and paper made from
some of them was actually used in editions off
several metropolitan newspapers.
In looking to the West for our future supply of
wood pulp it IS gratifying to note that two other
elements that will make for the ready develop
ment of the wood-pulp industry are found in
proximity to the forests. These two elements
are waterpower and coal. Throughout the noun
famous states of the West are hundreds of
streams, the power from which, if conserved and
harnessed, would operate with the minimum Of
The same is true of our undeveloped coal fields
in Alaska and other states.
In carrying out the government policy of util-
izing the natural resources of the country With
out injuring them, the forest service last year
made sales of public timber amounting to Sl,195'-
600. These sales were made TO a great number
of widely scattered interests, including lumber
companies, railroads, mining companies and one
Western paper mill. To encourage the establish
ment of new mills and pulp plants in the West,
the government has announced that 1t Will enter
into long-term contracts for the supplying of tim
Der at moderate prices, and under such conditions
as are just, both to the purchaser and the public.

BOYS IN KHAKI AND SOME WHO ARE NOT
QUICK TO LEARN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE

Men have taken to the study Of French with
only q little less ~assiduity than women to knit
ting. They are a trifle more shy about 1t, to be
sure. One does not hear them 'parleying' to any
great extent in public places, but they are secretly
much pleased with their achievement OF a rev
phrases. and, make no doubt about it, they will
soon be able to make love to the French girls ana
keep up their end of the conversation with the
poilus.
Of course, 1t began with the soldiers and sailors,
this eagerness to learn French. They had good
reason, and, besides, there were invitations dis
PLAYED everywhere for them to enroll themselves
in French classes and be taught this delightful
language without charge. There aren't so many
things offered free, even to young men in UNIFORM
that they can afford to slight anything bearing
the gratis tag.
Then there are a great many attractive young
women who pucker their mouths up quite beWitch-
ingly in teaching the novice how to pronounce the
French "u.' A pretty American girl MS a teacher
of French is a temptation to those who would not
pursue learning for its own sake. Or course, there
are all kinds of teachers and some are stern
lust teachers. But most of them seem to have a
pretty good idea that the young men in uniform
are not wanting to read Corneille or Moliere at
present, but just to know the words that may help
them to find their way around in France when
they are off duty and ask for something to eat or
a few things like that, and If they go a little fur
Their will help them at least to start a conversation
with the French of both sexes.
Easy French" and other little books with sim
ilarly alluring titles are to be found in many a
khaki pocket and are pulled out for study on the
train or sewhe One young man with a single
bar on his shoulder covered the English part of
the menu with his hand In a restaurant and read
aloud every article on the French side to his own
great satisfaction. The only sad moment was
when he gave his order In his best French and
the waiter said, BEG pardon, sir"
Young men who are not in uniform are taking
I'D French, too. OF course, they never know when
they may be called.
Also, after the war every one will want to go
to France and won't want to leave all the talking
to the military chaps, who will be pulled up
enough, any way. French is going to be such a
popular language and the French such fine people
that 1t would be bad form for an American to be-
out Of It altogether.
Two young men were having a discussion as to
which it would be more advantageous to study,
French or Spanish, If an American wanted a Sec
ond language at his command. Spanish will be
the language of the most profitable business for
us, that of South America" one asserted.

The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1917-11-17

Experts report that it is entirely practical to
manufacture newsprint in Alaska and deliver it,
through the Panama canal, to New York, at a
cost of not more than $50 per ton. When it is
considered that current prices for similar paper
range from $50 a ton upward, it is evident that
a new industry could be built up in Alaska that
would be an exceedingly profitable one.
While no definite plans have been made to that
end, it is possible that before long Uncle Sam
may find it profitable to erect his own mill in
Alaska to produce print paper. Such a mill would
cost about S2,5O0,OOO and it would pay for itself
within a few years. The present attitude of the
government officials is that if private manufac-
turers of paper can be induced to meet the de-
mands of the country it would be unwise for the
government to enter the field, but if our present
threatened shortage of paper materializes, such
a plant will doubtless be constructed in Alaska.
Another phase of the wood-pulp industry that
is being considered by the government experts,
is to more fully utilize the vast quantities of
wood wasted annually by the sawmills of the
country. This waste aggregates something over
6O,OOO,OOO cords a year, Il large part of which
might be saved.
If we are to make our paper industry a perma,
ent one, it is necessary for us not only to con-
serve our present supply but to plant cut-over
lands, to insure a supply in the years to come
Denuded lands can be planted with 1000 young
trees per acre ut a cost of about $40 per acre
Some of the large paper companies are now do
ing this, and their efforts are being encouraged
by the government. In addition, the forest serv
ice Is carrying out n definite policy of reforest9
ton in various parts of the country.

WAKEFUL HOURS SEEM LONG
One Thinks He Has Slept Little If He
Is Aroused Several Times Dur
ing the Night.

1t is surprising what little sleep men
can get on with, and then, not a few
men who think they are getting only
an hour or two of sleep a night, are
really getting much more; but because
they awake or are awakened five or
six times during the night they think
they sleep very little in between, says
a writer in the American Magazine.
Nothing is so fallacious as our esti-
mate of how long we have been
asleep. Usually when we wake, feel
ing quite rested, we were scarcely
more than an hour or two asleep. If
we wake feeling sc tired that we hope
it is before midnight, it is probably
nearly time to get up. Only too often,
indeed, 1t is after the time.
Feeling rested is very largely a mat
ter OF how much our wills are
awakened, how firmly we have got
hold of ourselves and then how inter
esting is the work ahead of us and
how anxious we are to get up and get
at it, while feeling fatigued is very
much a matter Of not wanting to get
up. because the work ahead of US is
annoying and full of complications,
and is not promising at best, and has,
perhaps, been put off for three or four
days because we do not care to get
at 1t.

"No, French will be all right as an accomplish
ment and for social purposes, but I'll bet there will
be more dollars for the man who speaks Spanish"
"Spain's a foreign country to me, but France Is
my kin. Me for the French language"
Aside from the American volunteers who have
learned enough French at home or abroad to feel
qualified to pass 1t on there are many French per-
sons who are exceedingly glad to exchange the
knowledge of their mother tongue for the useful
American dollar.
To the taunt that Americans could never really
talk French a man, coming q book on French
idiOms, retorted, well, l bet we can beat the

Some amusing stories are coming out of the
draft exemption boards. In Chicago one of those

FINANCIERS SAY RAILROADS
MUST HAVE RATE INCREASE
Relief Imperative ii Disaster Is TO BE
Avoided, Say Experts Called by the
Government in Rate Increase Hear
ingS.

Frank A. Vanderlip, New York bank
er and chairman of the governments
war savings committee, and Paul NJ.
Warburg, vice-gOvernor of the feder-
al reserve board, called by the inter
state commerce commission as expert
witnesses in the Is per cent advance
rate case, testified that radical action
was necessary to remedy the railroad
financial situation.
Mr.. Vanderlip was of the opinion
that the proposed rate increases only
touched the surface of the situation
while Mr. Warburg declared that
should it be granted its effect from
psychological standpoint in restOr-
ing confidence among investors would
be a greater advantage than the i'm
mediate monetary gain it might mean
to the roads.
One of two things must be done to
meet the situation, either the gov
ernment must acquire ownership or
some action be taken to restore con-
fdence in their securities. and Mr..
Vanderbilt Granting the increase the
roads request, he insisted. would act
! only as a poultice and nor affect a
real cure.
In their argument for the increase
Mr.. Vanderlip said railroad men them
selves failed to see below the surface
and view what he believed to be fun
damentally wrong-effOrt to force the
two regulatory principles. prevention
of combinations and fixing Of rates
to work smoothly together.
Either one may be right but not
both together" he declared. AS
long as rates are regulated the rail
roads should have the right to form
combinations"
Mr.. Vanderlip added that the rail
roads faced expenditures of one bill
lion dollars annually to maintain thei'
property and this must come from the
investor. and. whatever we may
think. the investor must have con-
fdence."
Mr. Warburg maintained that rail
road stocks had reached such a stage
that the only method of obtaining
money was through bond issues, which
could not be made on q satisfactory
basis now.
II had been testified i'm the hearin.
that the railroads showed increased
earnings recently and the property
