NORTHWEST RICH IN TIMBER
Pacific coass hRs Enough Fir, Cedar Pine, Spruce and Aemlcek to
 Build hemes for AL

Tn the Pacific northwest stand l. 5OO,0O0. .OO0O 900 feet of timber. A Seat tie contractor tells me that this would build bungalow for every man, wom- sn and child in the nation, Edward Mott woOlley writes in McClure's. Up on the north Pacific coast are SO.O0OO,- GOO acres of forests. It is estimated that the state of Washington alone has sbouE 100000, 100000 feet of standing nr. cedar, pine, spruce and hemlocI. In Oregon and Idaho there are tOO.- OO0O00.OO0 feet. In 1916 the distribu- ton of Washington lumber by ocean carriers was nearly 9Oo,0OO.0O0 feet.
 I Icannot make a fair estimate of the money that lumber brings to the Puget sound country in a year. might guess 1t at several hundred million dollars.
 have seen it estimated that the Washington lumber and shingles shipped by rail alone are worth SoO,- o00,000. Lumber last year represent ed 56 per cent Of the tonnage TUT niShed Washington railroads. or the wage earners in Washington and Ore gon more than 60 per cent are en- gagged in numbering operations.

 The evolution of rhe Pacific coast lumber industry has been in keeping with the general development. Giant machinery now handles both the logs and lumber.

Prot9ctInu the Bank.

The public entrance doors of the Bank of England are so finely bal anced that a clerk, merely by pressing 8 knob under his desk. can close them instantly. This, of course, has been designed with a view to prevent rob bery by mobs. But inside the building ingenious machinery has also been set up to prevent robbery by persons who, by cunning, have gained access to the premises at night, or by dishonest of- fcials.
 The bullion departments are nightly submerged in several feet of water, and wherever the money is stored in- genious alarms have been fixed up. If during the day a dishonest persor should take even so much as one from 8 heap of thousand sovereigns in the safe the whole pile would Immediately sink, and a pool of water occupy its place, besides letting every person in the establishment know of the theft.

MEANING OF SHIP TCNHAcE
Several Different Uses of Term, Ap' piled as Occasion Demands, Are
 Cited by National Authority.

The different uses of tonnage terms when speaking of ships arc causes of confusion to the lay mind. Why ships cannot he really compared according to tonnage is explained by Capt. C. A.. McAI!ister. engineer in chief, tnItRd States coast guard. in an article in Popular Science Monthly. For eXAl1pie. he states. steamship companies. in or der to impress relative safety 0f their craft, will advertise the sailing of certain steamer of 20,("N tons, mean, ing, Of course gross tons. The com pany's agent, in entering it al the GUS tom house. will take pFecautinn 10 cer' tlfy that she is only 7,34O tons when paying tonnage taxes. He then is re ferring to her net tonnage. and in fFct that standard is used onLy when pay ing dues or taxes
 Displacement tonnage is almost ex- 'clusively applied to warShipE, aS they do not carry caTgoeS. Strange to say. the tonnage of t,attleship varies al- most hourly, as coal OF other Weighty objects are used or taken on hoard. The tonnage Of warships is, however. fixed; they are referred to in terms Of the fixed tonnage.
 A statement that a lO,OOO-ton battle ship sank q 10HO0-ton merchant ship does nor mean that the ships were of equal size. The merchant ship would be much larger, owing to the different meanings of the term ''ton. as applied to the two types of vessels. It is ahso- Iutey impossible to give rules for the relation of these terms. as the condi-1 tions vary too greatly. Generally speak ing, the gross tonnage of 9hip is from FO 10 100 per cent greater 1han inc net tonnage.

Better Clothes for Tommy

A long-standing grievance of the British soldier is to be remedied. On discharge he was served out with a suit of shoddy, described in the trade as 'reach me downs," a cheap tweed cap and muffier, the value being fixed at $4.2O.
 A newspaper man who witnessed the discharge of the men who fought at Mons described the returning heroes as looking like charity pensioners.
 The press dealt with the complaint and the war office amended the scheme by substituting for the muffler a collar and a tie and suggesting greater care in the fitting of individual suits. Henceforth these men are to be re leased for civilian life wearing suits of decent quality and cut, represenh Rng 91O. wholesale value.

1917 & YEAR OF DISASTERS
Earth Never TrembIed So-sNiolently and So Generally as During the
 Past Twelve Months

An earthquake that destroyed the city of Guatemala has added to the record of disasters and horrors that nave marked the past year. quite apar: from the tragedies of the war, as one of the most dreadful in mOdcrn annals. Early in the year I917 nn earthquake occurred in central t'or- mosa, killing 300. Later in the same month 55O were killed hy m carth- quake on the Island of Ball, on the Malay archipelago.
 In April many were killed in Tus- cany and Umbria, in Italy, by an earth quake. Shocks occurred in different parts of the world throughout the spring, the most severe being in San Salvador, where fortunately no lives were lost, though serious damage was done. Heavy damage was done in July in the Samoan islands, with losses or life. In August an earthquake in New Zealand caused serious destrIc- uon. In September Colombia fell a series of shocks lasting for two weeks, with the destruction of hundreds of houses and some losses of life. A disaster of another character, but be- longing to the record of mlsfortunes of the year, occurred. in Halifax harhOr on the 9th of December, when muni- lions ship was destroyed by collision with another vessel and over 1.500 lives were lost, with property loss ot $50OOO,O0O.
 Now comes the Guatemala quake, the full effect of which is not known. but which has doubtless taken heavy toll of life and has rendered 125,OO0 people homeless, Rarely has the earth trembled so violently and so generally as during the past year.

ANYBODY CAN MAKE MISTAKES
Everybody Able to 5Iunder, But Few Are Willing to Frankly Admit
 They Have Made an Error.

Mistakes are things anybody can make successfully.
 l have known people, writes Strick- land Gillian, in Farm Life, who seemed to fail at every other kind of manu- featuring who could make as splendid specimens of mistakes ss one could wish to see.
 Yes and do it easyi
 1 have made mistakes.
 Yep, 1 have.
 I used to think 1 made none.
 Now list that think as one of the biggest mistakes ever made or knew about.
 These days find myself wondering If am not the fellow who invented them.
 Sometimes a fellow takes a miss that nobody else would take, and aft erward finds out it was a mistake.
 Anybody under twenty never admits that he has made a mistake.
 And he is usually honest about it.
 If anything goes wrong. blame 1t onto someone else.
 After twenty-five he begins to think of a few he made when he was eleven.
 By the time he is forty-five he will forget the mistakes he made in early youth because, in looking hack over the trail, the little ones of childhood are completely hid by the whoppery he has made since he was thirty-flve.
 I don't know why people have to make mistakes.
 But they are built that way.
 believe never made the same mis- take twice.
 This encourages me.
 For as I look back 1ver a mistake dotted career believe I have reached the point at which cannot make any mistakes without repeating.
 But that may be a mistake.

piseasa Met InherIted.

An entirely wrong doctrine of hered- ity has been the source of a, great deal of anxiety in the world, declares James J. Walsh, NJ. D., in the American Maga- zine, and has kept many people from living their lives as they ought to do, because they have been spending time and energy worrying over what would happen to them if certain feelings which they thought symptoms of ln- herited disease were to prove cor rect. Defects are inherited, but dis ease is not, because acquired charac- teristics are not transmitted. Appre- hension of heredity. has probably caused more suffering than heredity itself.

open the gates to that bawling heard
of sucking calves this week--no one
merciful enough to club the "whole
coop" to place them out Of their mis-
cry? We had a more prolonged dose
Of the heart-rending, nerve-straining
egregious nuisance this week than
usual-days and nights of bawling,
hungry, tortured valves. A thousand
hog pens would be a sublime blessing
to our town, compared with this aw-
full state of things.
**~&
"Billy Barlow" will rejoice over the
action Of our court house builders in
substituting wood for iron newell
posts at both flights of steps, 1t af-
fOrds an excellent opportunity for
the 'bone heads" to white while
loafing about the house of justice.
The average East Tennessean would
white on his grand-mother's coffin
if there was on public building with
soft wood in exposed places, and
doubtless the wood posts were used
as a token of respect for the biers of
our grannies. Joe Turney, once State
High Sheriff, carried grip full of
soft cedar whiting timber, on which
he executed all the def strokes
known as bone heads, while he await
ed the arrival of late trains with a
gang en- route to the State prison
from the various counties. We al
ways admired the pussy state sheriff
for his fOre-thought and respect for
public property.
When we were a boy our visits
with rural kinspeople and friends
were always marked by the old COB
bier strutting around the barn yard,
with his feathers all on end, his tail
spread out and wings drumming the
ground. He was vicious looking, ter
rible sight to behold--yet there was
no more harm in him than there is a
Greeneville policeman. But we didn't
know it. And now we become befud-
died and lose our equilibrium on be-
holding a shapely par of silk hose
coming down the street beneath a
frizzled, befrazzled, painted and pow
cred head-both made up and puffed
up to "corn-fed" perfection, and we
call the boys for dress parade inspec-
ton, when some wise guy, on behold
ing the shoulder blades and breast
bones and blue leaders in the stringy
neck, announces there's nothing In
lit--in either the hose or the bean"
But we didn't know it. Mothers,
mothers, mOthers-have you no sense
of decency, or have you been asleep
on the job until you have lost your
