PINE STUMPS WORTH MONEY
Those Left In cut-over Lands Are in
Demand-YieId Many Valuable
Products.

Increased demand for naval stores
and slight falling off in the supply
have together called attention to the
value of the stumps left in the fields
in cut-Over lands of the south. A
Washington letter of July 6 told of
the result of investigation by Clement
s. ECKER, vice president of the south
ern settlement and development Or
ganization, in the South Atlantic
states, from which he learned that the
stumps left in the fields do not die
with the cutting down of the tree, but
on the contrary, continue to draw from
the soil sap rich with the elements of
naval stores.
From these old stumps may be dis
titled some twenty or twenty-five diff
ferent by-prOducts, including rosin,
turpentine. pine and other oils, acetate
tar pitch, alcohol and others. BY one
process rosin and paper pulp may be
procured. Other processes leave
residue of valuable charcoal 1t seems
that the destruction by fire Of these
stumps In the clearing up of the land
is uneconomical. They can be sold for
enough to pay for the clearing and
leave a surplus, so that we may yet
see manufacturers of naval stores bar
gaining with the owners of cut-over
land for the stumps upon it and ex-
tracing them themselves.

In the house by Representative VIM.
p. Mason, Republican, Of Illinois.
The resolution declares the house

dent hope that the savage war of
reprisal by which many innocent lives
are lost, may speedily come to !, an

full independence of the Republic

In the<war between the Republic
OF Ireland and the Kingdom of Great
Britain, y the resolution says, Great
Britain has determined upon. a saw
age warfare known as reprisal,
which means that the lives and the
property of innocent non-combatants
are destroyed because Of the inabili-
ty of Great Britain to discover and
punish those who, it claims, have Of
tended against British laws.
This wholesale destruction of the
innocent is conclusive evidence that
Great Britain has lost control of the

They lift their heads to heaven,

THOUGHT FOR CHRISTMAS

Time has healed most of the
| wounds of the ware In the United
States the scars have almost van
ished. But in central and eastern
Europe a great open war wound re-
mains. It's sufferers are little chill
dren-children Of war Allies and of
war enemies. Catholic and Protestant
Jew and Gentile-but all too young
to have had part in making the
circumstances of which they are now
the helpless victims.
In the eye of America they are
just hungry little children $780,
900 of them who will die or suffer
permanent injury through the stunt
ing of mind and body from the eff
fects of underfeeding unless America
continues its great self-imposed
charity Of providing them with sup
Elementary food and necessary medi-
cines
In order to save these children
eight great American organizations
have banded together as the Europ-
can Relief Council and have appealed
to the American people. The organi-
cations are the Federal Council of
the Churches Of Christ in America,
the American Red Cross, the Ameri-
can Relief Administration, the
knights of Columbus, the American
Friends Service Committee, the Jew
ish Joint Distribution Committee,
the Y. M. c. A. and the Y. w. G.. A.
Herbert Hoover is national chair
man. Former Secretary Of the Inter-
Tor Franklin K. Lane is treasurer.
The charity of the European Re-
Lief Council Is being administered on
a policy that prevents pauperization
and that develops self help. Every
dollar contributed to the |
starving children draws 50 from
European sources as cash, food, rent, |
light, heat and transportation. The |
three dollars is so expended that It
will give one child one full meal
day for one month. Ten American
dollars will carry a child until next
harvest time.
Ten American dollars will literally
give a child Christmas present Of
Its own life-the most magnificent
Christmas gift in tie world not mat
Ter what the price. Americas Christ
mas shopping in lives ,as in humber
things should be done early.
A check to Franklin X. Lane, AZ
Broadway, N. Y. is the life warrant
or a European child. They are not

ay that 1t is our obligation to feed
hem. Americas task is carried for

Every Building in
Finland Must Have
\ Its Safety Ladder

HELSINGFORDS, Finland.-This
is nation Of fire-escapes. Ladder
making for domestic use is one of
the country's most profitable indus
tries. From the most palatial to the
lowliest every home in the country
must have its ladder, reposing against
the wall on the outside or lying
along the ground within easy reach.
A Government regulation, which
makes it obligatory upon the owners
OF every building to provide it with
ladder, seeks to guard the lives of
its people against death by fire. The
regulation, which is an old one, but
still enforced, is an echo of the days
when the houses and towns of the
country were entirely of wood. Mod
ern building construction of stone
and brick has made no change in the
law.
The better the house, the better
the ladder, owners seeming to COM
pete with each other in the splendor
of their fire-escapes. In the home here
in which officers of the American
Red Cross were billeted the ladder
was of polished hardwood, iron rungs
and brass tips.
Hotels, public buildings and even
churches must have their ladder. it's
dimensions depending upon the
height of the building, the law re-
quiring that it reach above the caves.
Aside from the ladder from ground
to caves, the same regulation calls
for another rallied to the roof and
always in such position that it
leads directly to the chimney, for in
a land where wood is the principal
fuel, roof and chimney fires, due to
sparks, are not unknown. These lad
ders are also aids to the chimney
sweep.
Firef1ghting becomes a neighbor-
hood or village affair, depending up
on the size of the community. The
is brought forth, and
householders and firemen join forces
to battle against the common enemy.

LABOR LEADERS TANNING

Washington. Dec. 27.-The new labor committee charged with continuing the effort to organize the steel industry plans to hold it's first formal meeting here next month. Some of the members already here, express the opinion that the first meeting probably will be devot- ed largely to survey of the develop ments of the year which has passed since the last attempt and the laying of grounds to continue the fight at a time which the leaders may consider oppor- tune:>
 The chairman of the re-organized com mittee is M. F. Tighe, and the secretary now is William Hannon William H. Johnson, president of the International Association of Machinists, is member.
