T. Luther Cordray manager Of the

delivered an interesting address last

Company at Hotel Fairmont. At some
length Mr.. Manship told Of the series
OF strikes that had crippled Detroit
within the past few months. This
strike trouble affected body plants.

that the production was crippled, men
unacquainted with the work being I'M
able to make perfect castings and
this necessltated discarding the
greater portion that were produced.
He predicted, that deliveries in Chal-
mers would be made by July 15 and
the Maxwell would be produced at
the rate of from 20 to 80 per cent OF
normal production during July. He
stated that a district office would be
opened In Cleveland and that West
Virginia would come under the juris-
tichon of that Office.

Art Of Literature.

L'art de bien dire is but drawing
room accomplishment unless it is
pressed into the service of the truth.
The difficulty of literature is not to
Erite, but to write what you mean; not
to affect your reader, but to affect him
precisely as you wish. This is COM
monty understood in the case of books
or set orations; even in writ
ing an explicit letter, some difficulty
is admitted by the world. But one
thing you can never make Philistine
natures understand; one thing. which
YET lies on the surface, remains as un-
seizable to their wits as high flight
of metaphysics-namely, that the busl-
ress of life is mainly carried on by
means of this difficult art of literature,
and according to mans proficiency
in that art shall be the freedom ana
the fullness of his intercourse with
other men.-R. L. Stevenson.

Oldest Of American Reviews.

The North American Review. the
first Of the influential publications Of
its kind in A 1erica, was founded over
a century ago by William Tudor, who
was born in Boston 140 years ago. He
was educated at Harvard, and then
entered commercial life. In 1905, with
his brother Frederic, he visited the
West Indies, where they were the
first to introduce the ice trade in
tropical countries. In 1916 he found
ed the North American Review. the
oldest of American reviews, and was
its editor for several years. Later he
entered the diplomatic field, represent
ing the United States as charge DAFT
flares at Rio de Janeiro and consul at
Lima, Peru. He died in the Brazilian
capital in 1880. He was the author
of several volumes, and was also the
first to suggest the building of the
Bunker Hill monument.

MUST ACT QUICKLY
TO SAVE FORESTS
There Has Been Constant Telling
of Trees Without Replace
ment for Years.

Ever since the settlers along the At
lantic seaboard pushed westward
through North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky; ever since Daniel
Boone felled the trees that went into
the first log house In the Blue Grass
country the smack of the woodman's
ak and the crashing down OF mon
archs of the forest have made an al
most ceaseless refrain In these states,
endowed by nature with woodlands
of an expanse that seemed limitIess.
The woodmen, however, are nearing
the end Of the trail. The forests of
North Carolina, Tennessee and Ken
lucky. along with the forests of all
other states in the East, are rapidly
being exhausted. If the cutting out
Of the forests goes on as 1t las gone
on, and without any provision for the
preservation of part of them or for
the growing of new forests, in sur
prisingly few years there will be no
lumber-producing forests left in the
East. This is the statement of Off
Gals of the forest service of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
These three states are regarded by
forestry service officials as among the
most important forested states in the
East. They produce great quantities
of lumber and other forest products.
North Carolina, Tennessee and Kens
lucky still have great areas of forest
lands.
The exhaustion of forests in these
three states is Indicated by official
government figures of lumber produc-
ton for 1899 and 1917-the latest
year for which they are available.
Other reasons why the forests of
Kentucky. Tennessee and North Caro-
lima must be preserved are that the
streams traversing them have their
origin in the woodlands and depend
upon them for their regular flow.
