new SOURCE Of TURPENTINE
Tree in Central India to Be Looked
To for Supply of Really
Good Quality.

Turpentine oil and rOsin are already
being produced on commercial scale
in India by the distillation of pine
rosin. A new source of supply which
though comparatively small. may be
valuable, especially for Indian use. has
now been found in frankincense OF
olibanum. This material is obtained
by the natives by making incisiOns in
the stems of Bosweilia serrata, tree
widely distributed throughout the dry
zone forests of Central India. The
resinous substance which eNudes from
the cuts contains kind of turpentine
a rOsin and gum.
Investigations of the methods Of sep
arating these constituents in a market
able form have been conducted since
1912 by the forest authorities in India
in cooperation with the Imperial in
stitute. and the results have been pub
lished recently in paper by K. 5
Pearson. forest economist, and Puran
Singh, chemical adviser, at the Forest
Research institute, Dehra Dun. The
general conclusion reached. based on
the results of numerous trials, is that
the turpentine oil is equal to good
quality American turDentine oil.

Abyssinian Likes American Styles.

81 would like to see AbySsinian Wom-
en- dress like American women" is a
remark credited to Prince Nadoa, the
head Of the Abyssinian mission in this
country. This may be merely a bit
of oriental flattery or it may be an
Indication of the princes bravery. It
should be remembered, first, that the
sovereign of Abyssinia is a woman, and
q descendant Of the queen whose ele-
gance and beauty of costume dazzled
King Solomon's court, and in the next
place that in Abyssinia style does not
change more than once every thou
sand years, and that for that length
of time the life Of a man is free from
all pecuniary worries incident to
changing fashions and new dresses.
Without. any intention Of forecasting
trouble for the prince, it might be
suggested that if this story should
precede him he will have some ex-
plantations to make either to the queen
or to the husbands and fathers of
Abyssinia.

HAS HIGH PLACE IN HISTORY
MAGELLAN Famed as Man Who Found
the Pacific and Completed the
Work of Columbus.

Four centuries ago Ferdinand Ma
gellan sailed from Seville, Spain. on
the voyage during which he discovered
the Pacific ocean, named the Straits OF
Magellan and opened the islands OF
the Pacific ocean to the people of Eu-
rope. His was the first circumnaviga-
ton of the earth. Had he not been
imbued with the desire to be the gov
ernor of new world, in keeping with
the promise accorded him by Charles
", the great geographer might have
attained even greater heights. In
stead he died, before the three years
cruise was completed, while in battle
with natives of a group of the Philip
pine islands. He had discovered them,
along with Ladrone and Guam islands.
and was intent on making them Span
fsh.
The discovery Of America by Co
lumbus had not completely convinced
Europeans that the earth was round.
but the findings of Magellan clinched
the argument. He started with crew
of 27O men and five vessels, but the
one ship that survived the cruise only
took back a remnant of that party.
Many died of scurvy, and some fell
during mutinies and battles with ma
tives. Magellan added much to the
worlds geography. He outlined the
entire eastern coast of South America.
His discoveries offered the Sraniards
new opportunity, and they started to
further explore the Pacific. Spaniards
found and named California, after a
character in a Spanish novel. Then
for some unaccountable reason they
rested on their laurelS.

Worlds Debt to Richard Burton.

Richard Burton, to whom the world
is indebted for a vast fund Of infor-
nation, gained while on his exploring
expeditions in the Far East, died Oc-
tober 20, 1890. Burton acquired a
familiar acquaintance with the Ian
guage of the Orient, and in this way
was equipped to make explorations in
Arabia in the gaise of an Afghan pill
grim. One Of his Journeys, in 1859,
led to the discovery Of Lake Tangan-
yika and the opening up of the east
ern part Of Africa. Burton left behind
numerous books which described his
Journeys and gave an insight to those
countries that had never before been
given.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Asserting
that the necessity of an immediate extra
session is imperative" and transcends
all party considerations. Representative
Good Of Iowa, who will be chairman OF
the Appropriations Committee in the next
House. issued to-day a statement outlln-
ing the tremendous legislative problems
which confront the coming Congress.
The statement follows:
"A huge task copfronts the Sixty
sixth Congress- The legislative pro-
granme for reconstruction embraces
measures of tremendous Importance.
Months will be required to enact legis-
lation necessary to unscramble the rail-
roads and provide for their organiza ton
on a solid and substantial basis. Legis-
lation Of a far reaching character to de-
terrnine a permanent national policy for
our merchant marine. which with recon-
struction has cost the Government more
than four billions OF dollars Is abso-
lutely necessary.
Legislation dealing with the problems
OF unemployment. the rehabilitation of
our troops and Of our returning soldiers
cannot with Justice be longer delayed.
II will take months to enact this legis-
lation alone. to say nothing of other
needed legislation TO which Congress
must give early attention. From the
point OF view therefore. of enacting
necessary legislation the President
should call Congress in extraordinary
session without delay.
when we consider the condition that
actually confronts the country reRa riding
the appropriation bills the necessity for
an extra session becomes imperative
The failure of the last Congress to pass
many OF the great supply bills and the
announced intention OF the President moi
to call Congress in extra session until
June Is cause for grave apprehension
Supply bills that failed to pass the last

Grafton they seek is a fair and reason
able opportunity TO do their work, and
to do II well. They would commence
that work in time to perform It In a
manner that will be creditable alike TO
themselves and to the Government.
''They cannot do this and pass intelli-
gently upon appropriations aggresatlng
over 1891. 900. 900 needed by the de-
partments by June 80, II Congress Is not
immediately called. The task is too
great and tho time too short. When
matters of such tremendous Importance
are at stake neither the Executive nor
Congress should be controlled by par
tisan considerations. but the very best
that is in both should be exerted for the
public good"

gress at least two weeks TO organize
and get down to business 1t would be
very difiicult for Congress to give the
consideration to these necessary appro-
prfation bills which is required and pass
them by June 80 II II were at present
in session and thoroughly organized.
Certainly the President has not been
fully advised as to these appropriation
bills or he would not postpone the con-
vening OF Congress for a single day. II
being informed as TO these conditions he
refuses to convene Congress In extra
session without delay. he assumes a ire
mendous responsibility.

Congress realize that n monumental

payers will feel the heavy burden Of In
creased taxes and will take more
lively interest In the work Of Congress.
From them will come a timely demand
for retrenchment and economy. In order
to make possible reductions In taxation
strictest economy must be practised.
Appropriations of Government funds
raised by taxation should be made only
after careful study OF the actual need
for such appropriations and should only
be made after thorough consideration
OF all the information obtainable.
This cannot be accomplished In a
day To carry out such a programme
necessitates the Immediate converting

ROME, March 8.-Premier Orlando in

day that he must return to Paris, as
the Peace Conference was entering upon

the chamber to adjourn until April 8.
Referring to the League of Nations. the
Premier said that an ideal could be OBJ
tanned only when hard realities were
taken into account, They must not be

herents OF President Wilson on condition
that President wilson's principles were
applied to others. Fortunately there
was perfect coincidence between abso-
lutte justice and the satisfaction OF Ital-
ian aspirations.
This evoked cheers, and the Premier
concluded by expressing the conviction
that Italy was strong enough to sur
mount the last difficulties.

Congress must be enacted into law be-
tore June 80, when present appropria-
lions cease to be available.
ut was perfectly evident when Com
gress met last December that II could
not pass all of the supply bills before
March and that an extra session or
Congress would be necessary. Bills that
passed the House carrying the following
sums failed of passage by Congress
military, 1890 500, 066 naval. 1884,
70S.121: third deficiency, $s4s,096.913;

Task Was Too Great.
"In order that the Departments may
function after June 80 Congress must
appropriate the necessary money. No
money Is available for their use after
that date. 1t was futile to attempt
to pass all these enormous bills at the
short session of Congress and to enact
the other necessary legislation which
the emergency Required.
This is perfectly apparent when one
considers what was done in the second
session OF the Sixty-fourth Congress.
During that session nine OF the supply
bills--rivers and harbors, naval. Dis
trict of Columbia, army, sundry civil,
fortiflcations, post Office and post roads,
legislative and agricultural-failed to
pass Congress until after June 30. and
the agricultural bill did not finally pass
until October !. Hence 1t is not strange
that the session of Congress just
brought to an end failed to accomplish
In three short months what 1t took
the previous session ten months to do.
THE fact remains. therefore, that the
work Of the Sixty-ffth Congress Ia I'M
finished Appropriations for the army,
navy. Indian affairs. District OF Column
bia. agriculture, sundry civil expenses
and to supply deficiencies in several
Departments aggregating over $3,S21,-
600 900 failed to pass and appropria-
lions for these services must be made
before June 30. II the Departments of
the Government are to function.
The practice OF passing continuing
resolutions to meet such eXigencies
should not be encouraged for 1t invites
the greatest waste and extravaganza,
especially at this time when we should
begin to resume normal conditions and
to practice the strictest economy. The
appropriations made for the present IFS
cal year were made at Q time when we
were at war and are not applicable to
the conditions confronting the next ifs
cal year.
Conditions Now Changed.
: "If continuing resolutions are relied
on to supply funds after June 80 such
resolutions will certainly containa great
many exceptions and notifications
otherwise the extravaganza and waste
now prevailing In many of the depart
ments will be continued. Appropriations
made TO carry on the war cannot be
made TO apply TO present conditions.
Why should a situation be created re-
quiring It?

BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
 BONDS AND STAMPS
Ready to Protect Securities of Small Investor Free or for
 Nominal Charge.

In buying Liberty Bonds, Victory Liberty Loan Notes, Thrift and War Savings Stamps the people of the United States have done more than perform a patriotic duty-they have invested in the soundest security in the world, gold obligations of the United States of America.
 But the safeguarding of these secu- rites has become a problem for many folk Only a few persons, relatively, have either safe in their house or office, or a safe-deposit box in the vaults of the bank Far too many of our patriotic citizens are keeping Bonds and Notes and Stamps about the house, in the bureau drawer. under the mattress, or on the shelf. And even if the treasure is thus hidden from thieves, there is the ever-present danger of fire, and the total loss of the money invested.
 There will be no further call for the people at large to subscribe to huge Bond issues, but the Government must have the little daily and weekly sums which come in from the sale of Stamps if taxes are to be kept down. And the danger of loss has deterred some peo- pie from buying as many Stamps as they might otherwise buy. Hence the question of safety will be a future question as we'll as a present one.
 Steps have been taken, however, to meet this situation.
 First, every Bond. Note or Stamp Certificate may be registered with the Treasury Department or with the Post Office Department. Registration means that the owners name, and the num- Der which is on his security. have been "registered' by the Government. and that nobody but himself Cor herselD can possibly get the money which the Bond, Note or Stamp Certificate calls for. Certificates may be registered
