tools, planing-mill products and the
like. About one-third of the total
capital invested in the wOod-manufac-
turing industries of the country and
about one-third Of the wage earners
in these industries are found in this
section. They use five and half bill
lion feet of lumber a year, or about
a quarter of the aggregate used in
this country for such enterprises.
To-day the home product does not
nearly meet the annual requirements,
but, further than that, the cutting
that is done far exceeds what is
grown each year. It is probable, from
the best estimates that I have been
able to secure, that the annual growth
Of material of potential value in the
three states is not over one-quarter Of
what Is cut each year. This means
that the forests are progressively los
ing ground with considerable rapidity
This deficit Is due only in part to
the clearing of land for agriculture
1t is due also to the failure to handle
the lands in way to secure good re-
production and properly to protect the
young trees that become established.
With better care and management the
forest lands of these states should
yield two Or three times the present
growth, and this would, l believe, be
possible without checking the extern
sion of cultivation over lands suited
to that purpose. There are many
convincing reasons why these states
should produce as much as possible in
the way of forest growth from land
that is best adapted to that purpose
and in the aggregate these areas
amount to a great DEAL"

France Was Originator of
Technology Identifying
Parts of a British Army

THE war has added many French
words to current English and Ameri-
can use, and the number of them con-
tinues a process that goes back to the
Norman French. The word war it
self, wrote DR.. Henry Bradley, in his
Making of English" is of Norman
French origin, and so also did a long
list of martial terms originate with the
French, come over into England, and
became anglicized, among them "bat-
tle," assault" siege" standard"
banner" "armor," "lance," fortress
and tower" From France came orig
inally the Technology that identifies
the separate parts of a British army,
the company" battalion" "regi-
ment," brigade" division and
"corps," as well as the officers, 'gen-
eral,'' colonel" major captain"
and lieutenant" France developed
the art, or, as we might now say, the
machinery Of war earlier than the Eng
lish, but it is rather surprising to real
ize how many centuries the termin-
ology has been in use. The words
passed naturally enough into English,
for during some of those centuries, as
Doctor. Bradley also suggests, the re-
iation between the two nations was SO
close that English writer's felt them
selves at liberty to introduce French
word whenever they pleased"

Charmed Names Featured
in Millions Poems Which
Appeal to Many Readers

Scarcely any passages in the poems
of Milton are more generally known,
or more frequently repeated, than
those which are little more than
muster-rolls of names. They are not
always more appropriate or more
melodious than other names. But they
are charmed names. Every one OF
them is the first link in long chain OF
associated ideas. Like the dwelling
place of our infancy revisited In man
hood, like the song of our country
heard In a strange land. they produce
upon us an effect wholly Independent
of their intrinsic value. One trans
ports us back to a remote period of
history. Another places us among the
novel scenes and manners of distant
region. A third ev0kes all the dear
classical recollections of childhood,
the schoolroom, the dog-eared Virgil,
the holiday, and the prize. A fourth
brings before us the splendid phantonls
of chivalrous romance, the trophied
lists. the embroidered housings, the
Quaint devices, the haunted forests,
the enchanted gardens, the achieve
ments of enamored knights. and the
smiles of rescued princesses.-Ma-

GET TOGETHER

1.-THE United States must decide up
on a national forest policy in order
to perpetuate its timber iupply," says
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the American Forestry association.
We are far behind France, Great Brit
ain. Germany, Japan and other ma
tons in this respect.
The United States has only about
one-fourth of its original forest and
this is now disappearing three times
faster than 1t is being reproduced.
We must, before 1t is all gone. pro-
vide for a timber supply for our fu-
tlre needs and we can do so If for

Winter Beauty That Is
Lost When Leaves Come

Ia beauty which is lost to us once the
leaves appear, but which suggests an
exquisite etching in winter when the
dark lines are silhouetted against the
sky, wries Flora Hickman, in "Be-
tween the Larch-Woods and the Weir"
The most graceful is the birch, with
its light tracery of fine filaments, often
with tassel-like catlSins dangling at
the end. The oak and beech give the
impression Of enormous strength In the
ease with which they fling outright
their massive arms with seldom any
tendency to droop. And each tree has
its special and distinct melody when
the wind signals the forest orchestra;
there is the sea surge of the beeches;
the swish of the heavily plumed frs,
the rain-sound of the twinkling aspen,
the soft whisper of the birches, the
aeolian hum of the pines. and the sibi-
liant rustic of the dry leaves clinging
to the winter oak.

VALUE OF FORESTS

$50 important are forests in the
find that France will insist upon Ger
many's paying in lumber for the casu-
alties of the French forests which
were destroyed during the war;" de-
clares P. S. Ridsdale, secretary of tho
American Forestry association, who
has made a tour of the allied coun-
tries. Mr.. Ridsdale went to Europe
to investigate forest losses In France,
Belgium, Italy and Great Britain, so
that &the American Forestry associa-
lion might determine how America
could help to replace the destroyed
forests of Europe by presenting for
est seed to the various governments.

smashed by SHE'LL shrapnel and rifle
fire. or so badly cut for trench tim

the contending armies that they have
been virtually destroyed. They can
be restored only by replanting.
"The agricultural land lying be-
tween the forests in various sectors
of the battle front have been so torn
to pieces by shell fire that it is no
longer serviceable for agriculture and,
like the devastated forests, will have
to be planted with forest tree seed

IL IS their business to do 1t and to
do it well.
Inc national and state governments
hold only some 3 per cent of merchants

Oh the owners of the timber must be

1t can be successful. You cannot COM

ate his timberland at a financial loss !;
If you wish him to reforest his land
you must make it pay him, as other
countries do.
One most important feature of a ma.
tional forest policy on which agree
ment is possible is fire protection.
Forest fires have this year caused
millions OF dollars of damage In the
northwest. The United States forest
service spent more than a million dol
lars fighting these fires In July alone
Private agencies spent lavishly in pro-
tecting their lands but the fire protec-
ton measures in neither national,
state or private forests are sufficient
TO properly protect them. Get to-
gether then on national. state
and private forest fire protection
program. 1t is the need Of the hour
and when this has been done the first
step toward a mutually satisfactory
national forest policy will have been
made. Other features of this policy
are certain to follow in due course.
