The colonel does not think it pos
sible that the government will ever
take over the spruce and fir industry, as
the government can depend upon the
lumbermen for maximum produc-
ton of airplane timber.

Swagqer Stick Betrayed.

A discussion, which began with ac-
 tual preparedness in America and
 which has continued now and again,
 here and there, pro and con, was re- vived, writes New York correspond- ent, with the arrest of fictitious army officer who, let 1t be known here, car ried a Swagger stick. The question, "Why, oh, why, do they carry them?" was intensified by the fact that one of the detectives asserted in English that had 1t not been for the Swagger stick he would never have suspected the camouflage captain. Luck was with the detectives, and when the prisoner was taken to police headQuarters he admitted he was not captain at all, but a bold, bad young man who had been telling naughty lies and stealing automobiles and other knick- -knacks ever since war was declared. However, he indignantly asserted that he was il- legally arrested to begin with, for the reason that army officers do not wear swagger sticks right now. He seemed to think that his arrest shouldn't count, inasmuch as the detectives were mis- taken in their first and most important clue.
