1.-The inhabitants of the devastated
regions are in urgent need Of shelter,

milk, etc, and domestic farm animals.
For the tilling of the soil, they need
most a good supply Of hand or small
motor-driven cultivatOrs and seed
drills, to be handled on community
basis and directed by practical agri-
culturists in the various localities. The
use of the tractors, which has already
proved Of great value, should be con-
tinued."

consists merely in laying alternately
as many sheets of thin veneer and
sheets of this glue tissue as may be
| required to build up the panel desired.
These sheets are then pressed in a
steam.heated press. The result is an
extremely thin panel in which the
moisture content has been changed not
more than l or = per cent. This sim
pie method eliminates the troubles re-
sulting from the use of wet glue
and makes the handling of the thin
material an easy matter

Oil Up And Speed Up. Christian Church Notes

The oil situation in the Unit
eu States is becoming serious.
Our production is far below
consumption, and when our re-
serve supply becomes exhaust

imports or go without.
England is wise. we are fool
ish. She is rapidly securing a
strong foothold in the oil fields
of other countries, and increaS-
ing her holdings from day to
day. When we are destitute
of oil she will have plenty.
There is no earthly reason
why the United States should
not be developing vast fields

That is, no reason except our

Besides the changing and adding of

of boxing commission in Philadelphia
also is to be taken up. In the event of

men, we'll acquainted with the sport,
but with no financial interest in the
game whatever, will be selected by the
director to form commission.
While Mr.. Cortelyou said today that
he had number Of his own ideas for
consideration he did not make public
any definite information as to what
would be done.
Announcing Of Purses
In speaking of the suggestion to an =
nounce the amount of money received by
contestants, President Edwards, of the
Olympia, said;
such information might be of in
tercst to the fans, but it would not
give the public the least idea whether
or not bout is equally matched. Often
there are times when one boxer gets
three or four times as much as his op-
ponent. still the latter may prove the
better boxer. and on a number OF occa
sions the lesser paid man has won by
a knockout.
The boxer who is the better draw
ing card is entitled to more money thar
the man who does not have so good q
reputation. Just because a boxer may
stand out as a better attraction, that
doesn't necessarily mean that he is
superior boxer.
IF young talent is not given chance
to box against men who already have
established regulations, then wha
chance will the newcomers in the game
have of developing?"
