Sixty years ago the American wild

il is not likely that the ruthlessness
Of hunters is the only cause OF their

Woman Uses Less Force in
Speaking Is Reason She Can
Talk Longer Than Mere Man

woman can talk lorger than
man. says the san Francisco Chron-
idle. because she uses less force in
speaking than the man does. \ pro
fe~~or has proved by delicate meas
urement- that the barytone singer uses
far more energy than the tenor. and
that the bass singer uses more force
than either.
Tho difference between the force
used by the contralt0 and The soprano
singer Is marked. and the cOntralto
who sings in deep tones uses - least
Ten times the force Of the thrilling
soprano.
The explanation is 50 simple that
It is surprising that the Investigation
was NOT made before II has long
been known that the tenor or soprano
brings the vocal cords close together
ana keeps the edges only vibrating by

tralto leaves the space between the

pended.

 FOREST PRODUCTS
Exports for 1918 Were 104,- 3S9,0O0 Feet, Compared With 76,722,000 for
 Year Before
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, March 10.-The Flori- da district. exclusive of Pensacola, led all other southern districts in vol ume of exports of forest products for 1918, according to figures compiled by the Lumber Trade Journal of New Or leans and made public today. Exports for the Florida district were 104, 900 feet, compared with 76,- 722, 900 for 1917. The New orleans dis trict held second place with S4.002. 900 against 76,574,000 in 1917.
 The Galveston district shows an un- usual condition. explained by heavy shipments of fir and spruce lumber, practically all to allied countries for war purposes. The Galveston district. which formerly has been minor lum- Der exporting section, handled 51.927.- 900 feet, compared with 1S,790,000 in 1917.
 Pensacola's 1918 exports were 41,- 24S,000, against 6S,656 1000 the previous year. Gulfport exported 36,952 ,000, com pared with 55,260.00o in 1917. The Sa- bine district, including Port Arthur, Beaumont and Orange, showed S9.400.- 900. compared with the 1917 record of 4s, 232, ,000.
 Pitch pine lumber, the principal species moving through Gulfport increased through New Orleans as compared to the previous year from &, ,451 900 feet to 52,- 9O9, 900, and from the Florida district in- cluding Pensacola, from 10e, 463, GOO to 124,- 407, 900, but decreased in the Mobile dis trict, including Gulfport, from 1S6,067 ,000 to 7s. 725, ,000 while the minor changes from other districts made the total of this class of lumber 299, ,922, 900 compared with BPS, 600 in 1917. Other species of pine brought the totals of all pine up to 425,- 953, 900 compared with 447lSS0o0 in 1917 Gains were the rule with cypress and hardwoods. Shipments of railroad ties, slaves ana other items reported by quan- titles showed substantial decreases, but those reported by value only increased, Increases in value were common also to those items which decreased in quantity and in general the level of values in- creased materially in proportion to 19l7 The result was recorded as an increase in the aggregate value of all wood and its manufactures from $71,362, ,591 in 1917 to sS7.3o6.31 in 1918.
 Statistics covering naval stores show a beavy reduction in exports a small in- crease in shipments of turpentine to Can ada being the only exception. Resin ex- ports declined from ,493, ,392 barrels in 1917 to 77s,71 in 1918.

Montgomery, March 15.-(Special)- )-Bill Wilson, poor, uneducated Blount county farmer, may be made one of the most talked of men" in Alabama because he served more than three years of a life sentence for crime which he did not commit a crime which is classed by jur- murder.
 Agitation in favor of a bill which will take from the juries the power to ad- minister a death sentence when there IS no direct evidence of the commission of crime, when only circumstances connect the defendant or defendants with the crime, has been started, following sem sational disclosures which exonerated
