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 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. 1t Is probable, from
the best estimates that | 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 10 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 I believe he
possible without checking the extern
sion of cultivation over lands suited
to that purpose. There are many
convincing reasons why these states
should produce az 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"

Charles Lathrop Pack, president Of

The United States has only about
one-fourth of its original forest and

CREDITS 100 YEARS TO BIBLE
Mrs. Katherine TibbaIl of New York
Has Read the Scriptures
Faithfully.

New York.-To faithful reading of
the Bible does Mrs. Katherine Tibball,
one hundred years old, attribute her
long life.
Fate has borne rather heavily on the
Tibballs. The centenarian's only
daughter, who keeps house for her, is
deaf and dumb, and her son, who has
just celebrated his golden wedding, is
stone blind. Still they are a cheerful
family and proud of their old mother,
whose faculties remain almost unim-
paired.
Mrs. Katherine Tibball was born In
Westchester county, New York. and
went to school in this city. She has
always been a quiet home woman and
"never bothered about woman suffrage
and such things" her son says.

VALUE OF FORESTS

alties of the French forests which
were destroyed during the war" de-
clares p. S. Ridsdale, secretary Of the
American Forestry association, who
has made n 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-
ton might determine how America
could help to replace the destroyed
forests of Europe by presenting for
est seed to the various governments.
'In northern France many Of the
forests" he says, have been so badly
smashed by shell, shrapnel and rife
fire, or so badly cut for trench tim
bers, fuel wood and other supplies for
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

Advances Rational Geography"
The inventor of the new map, who
worked on his drawings fifteen years,
said that IAN impartial and rational
world geography is essential to world
peace" He said that Mercator's pro-
! lection, which was originally devised
by the Belgian photographer as a
guide for navigators, distorted and
exaggerated the earth as ii re-
coded from the equator" This. for
instance, made it appear as If South
America were much smaller than
North America, when as a matter OF
fact, he said, they were about the
same area.

II IS their business to do II and to

The national and state governments

Forest fires have this year caused

"HARD WORDS"

M UGH light is thrown on the study and daily use of
w English words through the Investigations of Colonel
Leonard p Ayers, director of the division of education
of the Russell Sage Foundation.
Ayers wanted to find what were the words most f7e-

the hardest to SPELL He figured that It was much better
for pupils to know how to spell the words of ordinary use
than to spend so much time in drilling catch words or
words used once year.
So Ayers collected letters from different people, num-
bering about 100000 words. He made list of 900
of the most common ones.
Ayers took his thousand words and submitted them to
100000 spellinss by 10000 children in 81 cities He
found the hardest words to spell Yes, the hardest 1t
