Three National Forests
Recently Added to the List
Complying With Weeks Law

The president has proclaimed the es-
tablishmert of three new forests, the
final step in carrying out the purpose
Of the Weeks law.
The first, observes writer in Out
look, Is the White Mountain National
forest. Its area Of nearly 100000
acres protects the watersheds of the
Androscoggin, Saco, Connecticut and
AmmonoOsuc rivers. This watershed
region has also long been famous as an
important recreation ground.
AS its name implies, the Shenandoah
National forest Is on the watershed Of
the Shenandoah river, but 1t also pro-
tects portion Of the. Potomac and
James river watersheds. It's area Is
about, 185. 900 acres. On this area, and
still intact, are the trench systems
constructed during the Civil war under
Stonewall Jackson's supervision.
The White Mountain National forest
lies mostly in New Hampshire, but laps
over into Maine; the Shenandoah for
est lies mostly in Virginia, but laps
over into West Virginia. The Natural
Bridge National forest, however, is
wholly In Virginia. Its area Is about
100000 acres. The forest protects q
part of the James river watershed. =

Platinum Mines of Russia
Said to Afford the Worlds
Most Profitable Dredging

The most profitable dredging in the
world can be done on the platinum
placers of Russia, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. The value of the
metal recovered is often equivalent
for considerable periods of operation
to S. a cubic yard. When one remem-
bers that the gravels of the California
gold-dredging fields yielded only about
10 cents to Is cents cubic yard on
an average, and nevertheless paid well,
the possible profits of platinum dredg-
ing become apparent. /.
Before the war there were about 25
dredges at work in the Urals, operat-
ing two-thirds Of the time of each
working season Of about $50 days, and
averaging 500 cubic yards a dredge a
day, thus working a total Of about
1,250,OOO cubic yards of material a
year, and recovering annually 10000
to 100000 ounces of platinum. There
is only one first-class dredge in opera
ton in the Urals. They are mostly Of
antiquated design and of poor con-
struction.
First-class dredges working in ma
terial of similar characteristics dig
several times as much gravel a day in
other countries with similar climate.
Working costs in the Ural regions are
twice those in Montana, which has q
similar climate, but where the aurifer-
GUS gravel is much harder to dredge.

SAVE PITS AND
SHELLS
Needed in Making Gas Masks
How Boys and Girls Can
Do Important War Work

BY the U. S. Department Of Agriculture.
The war department has requested
the boys and girls clubs Of the coun-
try to help collect fruit pits and nut
shells, the carbon in which Is used in
making gas masks. Contests have been
suggested among the million club mem
bers by the United States department
Of agriculture and the state depart
ment. colleges, which conduct the club
work, to see which member, which
club, which district, and which state
can deliver the largest amount Of ma
terial in the shortest time. Each men,
ber should try to furnish at least 200
peach pits, or seven pounds Of shells
enough material for one, mask.
Since more and better carbon is
secured from the pits Of peaches,
prunes and plums than from other
sources, boys and girls should make it
their special business to see that every
home in their communities saves the
pits of these fruits. They should also
visit community and commercial can
neries, hotels, restaurants and baker
les. In addition, seeds should be col
lected from dates and olives. and shell
and whole nuts be saved from hickory
nuts, butter nuts, English and native
walnuts and hazelnuts. The material
may, be delivered to the local Red
Cross headquarters, which are acting
as central stations for collecting and
shipping.

Uncle Sam Is to Conserve
Gold Only by Distributing
It For the Essential Uses
Need a new gold tooth?
Going to wed during the war?

4>SSo q hC" SOAo COOIhS
Going to wed during the war?
Better order that ring right away.
Expecting to invest in gold luxuries?
Better forget that-it can't be done
during this mans war.
For our Uncle Sam has decided to
keep a little red book on the gold sup
ply.
The gold administrator may not
come to rival the fuel administrator,
the food conservator and the gasoline
checker.
But gold-the ommodity-will here
after be distributed in bullion as the
wholesale manufacturing jeweler and
the dentist and other finer craftsmen
set forth their absolute requirements.
Use of gold, the commodity, will be
restricted to the essentials.
An officer Of the assay, Office ex-
plains as follows:
"As far as we know, first instruc-
tions to stop exchanging gold bullion
for gold coin or cash has been rescind-
ed. We have resumed the exchange in
modified or restricted way. The fu-
ture course will be governed by the
drain that is made on the supply. 1t
will work out as simply as the cam
paigns to conserve sugar, wheat, fuel
and gasoline. And in close way the
plan follows the same general pur-
pose. The government will keep track
of it's gold supply, see who needs it
and who gets it, and will stop any at
tempts to hoard it." f..

THE FUTURE

What may we take into the vast forever?
That marble door
Admits no fruit of all our long endeavor,
No fame-wreathed crown we wore,
Nor garnered lore.
What can We bear beyond the unknown
portal I?
No gold, no gains
OF all our toiling life; in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains,
Nor gilds, nor stains. .....
Naked from out that far abyss behind US
We entered here;
No word came with our coming, to remind
us
What wondrous world was near,
No hope, no fear.
Into the silent. .starless night before us.
Naked we glide;
No hand has mapped the consultations
No comrade at our side, -
No chart, no guide.
Yet fearless toward that midnight, black
and hollow,
Our footsteps fare;
The beckoning Of a Fathers hand we
follow
His love alone is there,
No curse, no care.

How the German Laborer =
Is Chained to His Job

Control Of labor power in Germany
is absolute, according to information
obtained from that country. Just how
each workman is chained to his job
may be realized when it is known that
he cannot change positions without the
written consent either Of his employ
er or Of a board of seven members
appointed by the military authorities.
The boards Of seven include an army
officer as chairman, two government
officials, two employers, and two work.
ingmen. The workingmen, therefore,
not only have small representation on
the board, but are denied the opportu-
nifty Of choosing their own representa-
tives, for that Is undertaken by the
war Office.

War Has Given Women Chance
To Show What They Can Do In
Various Industrial Avenues

After many years spent In demand
ing access to various employments on
the same basis as men, women are now
being offered an unprecedented chance
to show'what they can do in industry.
states q writer in New!York Journal of
Commerce. Abroad they are the actu-
al operating force Of many businesses,
and it may be expected that like con-
dition will more and more come to
prevail in the United States. The
women Of Great Britain have made a
splendid record In the industrial world,
and there Is no doubt they will like
wise here If the emergency requires.
This state Of things is usually present
ed as an outgrowth Of the war, and
not few women are quite frankly
holding their present places as a patri-
Otic duty rather than as the result of
q personal desire. Very little study,
however, is required to reach the con-
clusion that In many cases there will
be tendency and disposition to broad
en- the scope Of women's employment
after the end Of the war. and, If de-
sired by the employers, to accept them
as permanent factors in places here
tofore held exclusively by men.
The final outcome with reference to
the industrial status Of women will,
however, depend primarily upon the
degree Of efficiency they are able 10
develop. If there are, as often alleged,
large and increasing classes Of women
who desire permanent industrial op-
portunity on the same basis with men,
their time to snake good" is now at
hand and will probably not soon come
again. That there are many who real
izeI the situation no one can doubt. 1t
is equally clear, however, that there
are many others who thus far are
showing traits which not only disquali-
fy them from competition with men,
but will render them unacceptable in
any capacity as soon as men are again
available as employees. OF these traits
the most serious probably are the lack
Of professional pride in work, the fail
ure to regard it as permanent occu-
patton, and as such to be studied and
perfected, and the tendency to lack Of
responsibility.
Time may correct these traits and
develop the women Of the country into
an efficient. well-disciplined body of
industrial workers. It will be neces-
sary that they train and educate them.

that retention Of the new place already
assigned them will be dependent en-
tirely on the merit they are able 70

Some Extraordinary Names
Are Occasionally Fastened
Upon the Innocent Babes

What extraordinary names somc
people are compelled to bear or choose
to assume! I hesitate to call them
"Christian names," because they aren't
Christian, very often. "Given names"
is perhaps the better way OF descriD-
ing them. Perhaps you have heard OF
the Irishman assisting at q baptism.
who, when he heard the godmother
answer Hazel" to the question as 10
the child's name, broke forth: FOR
the love av hiven; the whole calendar
is full Of the names Of blessed female
saints, and they do be callin' the baby
after a mutt"
I thought of that when looked
through the catalogue of a girls col
lege the other day and noted these
labels: Golde Mae, Eura, Arvilla.
Kathryn, Elva, Melba, 1zer, Neva, Re-
mona, Mabelle, Vida, Esta, Mills,
Mayme, Mable, Arthetta, Lilyan, Bu-
lah, Arbita, Narmie, Ara, JOnnie, Roxa,
Zurelle, Zuliene, Vanja, Mote, Corenna.
1t was a comfort to get back to Bridget
and Margaret! Names are not arbi'
trary combinations of vowels and con,
sonants; they have, or should have,
significance, a historic setting, a per-
sonal and family relationship, that dig
nifies them.
To invent fantastic labels for pet
dogs may be allowed; but human be-
ings ought not to be put on that level.
So, misspellings Of familiar names,
Christian or family, seem either undig-
nified or ignorant, now when fixed
spellings have been accepted. Can
some one explain Ga Nun and U'Rell,
both of which variants intrigue me?-
