The yenetian's strong-Box

w. D. HowellS, in Harpers Magazine
 I had proof that my friend was ready to serve me in a way where he was better fitted than in helping me house my eagle. had received my exequatur, but was one day counting up my resources and won dering whether they would last till 1 could draw my first quarters salary, when Pastorell mastered the situation from his imperfect English and then shouted with a sort of generous indigna- tion, q will give you all the money you want"'
 He meant that he would lend me the money, but he would not let me explain the difference. ''Lstenr' he hurried on to say. "Tell me how much, and will go to the Countess Ms and get it out of my strong box," and I cannot say now whether was more touched by his gen. erosity or charmed by the literary quality of the fact that he was keeping his money at the house of his friend in the fashion dear and sacred to how many tales of Latin life liked the fact all the better because there was a tang of miserly sus- picion in it, far from him personally, but proper to a race and age when the capi- talist would not trust his savings to a bank, even after there were banks to trust them to. I perceived that the usage must still have been commoner than I ha imagined and the fact was the more prec- ious to me because it was more a nation al than a personal effect with him. would have liked to ask him all about 1t, and make him feel my pleasure in 1t; but of course that was not feasible, and l only tried to disclaim any stress of anx. iety in owning that I would like to borrow 50 florins. He said nothing, as if he had not quite understood, but he did not let the day pass without coming to me again. Then, holding and withholding something in his left hand and waving his right forefinger before his face for the Italian emphasis of negation, he said, as before: Listen! Between friend } there is no interest," and he may have studied an English correctness in his phrasing. "Here are F Austrian sover- eigns, which I have taken out of my strong box at the Countess N-'s. When you wish to return the money do not bring it in florins. but go to a money changers and buy 12 Austrian soverigns and pay it back to me in them"

Lovers of bell music will be gald to hear that the famous Carillons at Nechlin and Bruges were not destroy ed by the Germans.

MAKE SURVEY
 OF PULP SUPPLY NOW AVAILABLE
Step Toward Conserving Decreasing Supply of
 Pulp Wood.
MOSTLY IMPORTED
 HERE FROM CANADA
Great Forests in Pacific Northwest Yet
 Untouched.

Washington, Aug. 23-As a step toward conserving the decreasing supply of American pulp wood used in the manufacture of newsprint paper, Senator Watson. Republican, Indiana, today introduced q resolu- tion authorizing the Secretary Of Az riculture, to make q survey and preliminary investigation of the ma tion's available pulp timber supply. The secretary also would be directed to make recommendations for pulp wood utilization. The sum os S1OO,- 900 is asked to carry on tine survey and investigation.
 Two thirds of the newsprint pa per used by American newspapers ' he said, "is imported or is manufac- tured from wood or pulp imported from Canada. One-third is made in the United States from wood grown in the United States. The former proposition is steadily increasing, the latter is steadily decreasing"
 Nearly all of the American news print manufacturing industry is locat- ed in the northeastern states - half of it in New York" he continued. ''But in the Pacific northwest Washington, Oregon and part Of Cal ifornia-and the inland empire of Northwestern Montana and northern Idaho are great forests that have been no more than touched by the few pulp mills in that section of the south.'
 He said that in Alaska are enor- mons areas of forests, the annual growth of which would supply puln for half of the newsprint paper used
 ETr~ mills are there.
 He warned that American news papers are being more and more de pendent upon foreign sources for the raw material from which newsprint paper is made; the raw material is being exhausted in the section where the domestic industry is con- centrated and mills are moving from this country to Canada, while at the time the United States contains for est resources in the northwest and in Alaska that promise abundant SUD- ply for many years, and indefinitely under property conservation. If the industry can be built up in these re- gions.
 To stimulate American production the following governmental policy should be carried out.
 An immediate and adequate gov ernmental survey of American re- sources in this field.
 Immediate steps to bring about the practice of forestry and the cOnsorva- ton of forests in the pulp producing regions, to the end that the annual inroads upon the forests will be les sened, and eventually will be no more than equal to the annual growth.
 Development as soon as practicable of the industry in the northwest and in Alaska.

GERMAN FOOD DEFICIT REACHES
 INTO MILLIONS

Berlin, Aug. 25.-(C -(CorrespOndence of The Associated Press) The Ger man deficit in food, the difference between the amount produced in Ger many and Germany's normal needs, amounts to 3.6O0,OO0 tons of wheat, one million tons of meat and one million. tons of fats, says the Impe- rial Food Ministry.
 Immediate payment fer these ne cessary foodstuffs with inlald re- sources is unthinkable, the Ministry asserts. Only long term credits can help and the acceptance of such credits is only possible if Germany works for only then can the creditors have confidence in paying ability of Germany.
 Germany. must make up its mind to do without coffee very largely in the future, says the Imperial Com sioner for colonial goods.
 Authorities say Germany must sharply restrict her imports of cho- colate becaus of the low value of the mark and must try to rely on her own chocolate, the first production of which is expected soon.

MOST DFPOSTTORS IN ONLY
 FLOATING BANK ARE SAILORS.

Detroit, Aug. 25.-The worlds only navigable bank, carried aboard the mail boat c. F. Bielman, Jr., operat- ing in the Detroit river, now has 100 depositors The cashiers statement submitted to William J. Nagel, Post master, reveals that the bank is rap idly becoming a popular institution with sailors despite the fact that it has been established only since May. The majority of the present depos- itors are passenger line sailors, but by next season administrative officials of the Detroit Postoffice hope to reach freight sailors who are on vessels passing Detroit.
 For years Duluth and Cleveland banks had monopolized the banking business transacted by lake sailors. When sailors wished to deposit money they usually gave it to the captain of their vessel to bank for them on reaching port. In time this became a regular duty imposed on ship officials. and in many instances the officials have tried to escape the responsibility of handling money for their employees. Recognizing that the government could give banking fla cilities fully as secure and efficient as private banking corporations, Post master Nagel decided at the opening of navigation to experiment with a bank aboard the mail boat, which serves every passing freighter.
 The mail bank is a branch in- stitution of the regular Detroit Pos tai Savings Bank. Literature descrip- tive of the banking methods in vogue under government banking regula- tions were delivered to every vessel that has passed Detroit this season. Masters were requested to post bank placards conspicuOusly for the bene- fit of seamen who wished to become depositors. The cooperation of the vessel officers and men has resulted in Postmaster NageI's decision 10 con- t3nue the innovation.

Honus Wagner, Pitcher Camniz and Out filder Campbell were the heroes of this memorable chapter. A double header was played on that day. and Wagner came mighty near breaking another record when he got seven safe hits in as many times at bat. Two of these were home runs, three were doubles and two were singles.
