World Federation to
 End Autocratic Rule,
 Editor Lippmann Says

Philadelphia, Pa., April 20.-The grand alliance" between the United States and the democracies of Europe against autocratic aggression as prac- ticed by Germany gives rise to the hope that the war will lead to a Fed. eration of the World. in the opinion of Walter Lippmann, of New York Associate Editor of the "New Repub- 1ic," expressed to-day in an address on Americas Relations to the World Conflict" before the American Acad- emy of Political and Social Science.
 "I know it sounds little old-fash- toned to use that phrase, the Fedora tion of the World" said MT. .Lipp- mann, because we have used it SC long in empty rhetoric. But no oth- CT idea is big enough to describe the alliance. It Is no longer an often

pitch harden and sweeten until they become f1inty Jumps of fragrance. In May and June the drops have a warty appearances; they are yellow and vis- cid, and have a disagreeable pungent taste, much like that of turpentine. A month later they are hardened on the surface, and the yellow color has given place to an amber-like transpa- rency. The masses are still sticky inside, and the turpentine taste has been succeeded by an intense bitter ness. tals of gum show pink and amber tints on the surface, and have vii trous 1ustre when broken open. Most of the sticky centre has hardened, but the pungent taste remains. In Sep tember and October the pink lines grow deeper and are streaked with brown; by December every particle of pitch has become hardened, while from New Years Day to March the frost and ice take out the bitter taste and leave in it's place that matchless aroma which gum chewers prize. Then the gum picker has his harvest time. Sometimes gum pickers travel in par ties of three or four, and often the boys of a family make a business of gum picking, earning more in March than they could by an entire winters labor in the logging camps.
 The test of good gum is first in the taste, then in the, color. If there is no trace of turpentine, not more than an agreeable bitterness as the lump is first crushed in the mouth, then it is good gum. If, after a few min utes' chewing, the cud shows a pink ish lavender shade, then it is perfect gum.

PICKING SPRUCE CUM STICKY JOB
 BUT PAYSWElL

Bangor, Me.,~ April 2O.-Time was when every woodsman returning from his winters work in the Maine for spruce gum, and the amber nuggets were dirt cheap in many a Bangor shop; but now the supply is so much less than the demand that half an ounce of second-rat gum sells for 10 cents, and there is not much offered at that.
 Like everything else the gum busi- ness has become systematized. The big concerns that need the essence of the spruce trees to flavor their ar tificial product hire professional gum pickers to gather their supply, ta- king all they can get. The whole sale price is $1 to $15O pound, &C., cording to quality, and a busy pick >er can make $6 day.
 Of the 900 pounds of spruce gum annually harvested in Maine, 12.000 pounds or more are gathered in March. The gum picker wears steel climbing spurs on his boots and in his belt he carries a light hatchet, while strapped to his waist is a bag, with a wide mouth. Climbing a tree, he proceeds from limb to limb chipping off the Jumps of gum as he finds them, until he reaches the top. Most of the gum is caught in the wide open bag as it falls, while all that goes to the ground stands out in such relief on the. snow that it is picked up easily. Having picked all the gum the picker hacks and sears the bark so that the tree may produce another crop.
 The best tasting and cleanest gum comes from the deep and narrow cuts made on the south side of a tree. Wounds made on the north side may exude sap, but, being away from the sun the sticky juices are filled with spills and bits of bark before they crystalline. By scoring the bark in March the sap is made to come out slowly and 1t forms a dam of pitch so that when the heat of summer comes and the sap runs freely the gum hangs in pendulous bags, which are glued to the bark in the matrix which formed as soon as the scar was made
 Spruce sap ceases to flow after July 15. From then until the picker comes in March, the bags of globules of
