LUMBER PRICE PROBED
Causes of Advance Discussed by
Maj. Mason of Internal
Revenue.

That it is generally believed to be
wrong to attribute present high
prices of lumber to the declining tim
ber supply. to combina tions in re-
straint of trade. or to profiteering, is
the statement of Mai. ID. T. Mason.
head of the timber section of the
bureau of internal revenue. in his
recent address before the second
American lumber congress in Chicago.
Mai. Mason goes on to say:
Greatly increased cost of produc-
tien and general credit imitation
would account for part of the in
creased price. but it appears to be
primarily a case of the action of the
laws Of supply and demand. supply
more or less reduced by shortage
and lowered efficiency of labor short
CT hours in many mills. bad weather
conditions in some parts of the coun-
try. coupled with unheard-of demand,
has prompted lumber buyers to vie
With one another in Offering higher
and higher prices"
These conclusions have followed an
exhaustive investigation by the gov
ernment of the lumber industry for
tax-valuation purposes. ,

NEEDED INFORMATION.

\ field of great usefulness awaits the
recently incorporated Association for the
Promotion and Protection of Savings in
Boston. 1t is not yet shown in what
manner it expects to secure an income
sufficient to carry on its work of teach
ing thrift, warning against get-rich-quick
schemes and cooperation with invest
ment institutions. One would naturally
think this a work for the banks and
trust companies but the new organiza-
ton apparently has beaten the banks to
it. OF equal Importance with teaching
people to save is education in the Iegiti-
mate earning power of money. Money
cannot earn such immense returns as
Ponzi promised to his victims and small
savers should be informed of what re
turns they may reasonably expect of
their savings.
There is need of such education in
other things than money, especially in
labor. The unions in the building trades
in Boston are demanding $3.50 an hour
for their labor. That is an unreasonable
demand and because no man can earn
such wages for his employer. This de
mand is as much frenzied wages as
POnzis scheme was frenzied finance. In
the reimbursement of industry intelligent
education in reasonable returns is much
needed. If this new corporation in Bos-
ton can furnish such information its
usefulness is assured.

TUE SERVICES OF SCIENCE.

| The development of chemistry has been
IF untold value to the human race but
there is reason to expect still further
service from it. At, the recent session
Of the American Chemical society in
Chicago papers were read telling of re
cent developments in that science. A
mixture of coal dust and the waste OF
petroleum mills has been made that fur
nishes fuel of great usefulness. Also
FIignite. a half formed coal, has been car
BOMBED and used as a substitute for
coal. There are extensive deposits OF
this in the Middle West that may be-
come available as fuel,
Plans have been completed for taking
gasoline direct from natural gas, which
promises a great increase in this fuel,
and chemists have also discovered that
about 30 per cent of all gasoline used
is wasted through incomplete combus-
ton in motor vehicles. a 30 per cent
saving in gasoline bills would mean
much to the country.
The bureau of chemistry of the de-
partment of agriculture has produced
syrup from sweet potatoes which con
tains a large amount of malt sugar and
SO is very desirable for use by bakers.
A method of making the extract of
vanilla from glycerine is also reported.
The extraction of a cellulose from saw
dust that gives a fattening food to
cows has previously been referred to.
This process has also thrown new light
on the manufacture of paper from wood
pulp, which next to cotton is the best
known form of celIulcse.
Not many centuries ago men dabbling
in alchemy were viewed with suspicion,
but they persisted in their investigations
until chemists evolved systems of sep
arating the elements from nearly all
forms of matter. Then they began to
effect new combinations of elements
that have given new combinations of
useful foods, power and illumination and
chemistry has become as productive as
labor with hands or machinery. With
its many methods of cheapening the
production of useful compounds chem
istry has become one of the most fas
cinating and useful sciences known by
man.

This has been designated Apple Week

change because the crop this year is the
'argest commercial crop ever known in
the United States and there is danger
that bandreds of thousands of bushels
# apples will never be gathered, or will
rot in the cellars and barns of the pro-
ducers, unless people buy more and
use more apples than ever before. 1t has
been those more and more prices that
have kept the people buying less and
less. \ reversal of conditions may help
to save the apple crop.

DISCOUNTED Daylight Saving Action.



Inc experiment with a partial daylight
saving system, which closes today. has
not been wholly successful. For seven
months New England has been Worrying
along as best it could while Massachu-
Setts and New York were travelling an
hour ahead as to official time. A few
cues and towns in various parts of New
England attempted to change their time
10 conform with Massachusetts and they
found themselves out of tune with the
remainder of the state; and several of
them reversed their action long before
the scheduled time for the closing of day
hight saving in Massachusetts. The rail
roads of Vermont and other New Eng
land states which are closely associated
with Massachusetts, and New York as
well, We're compelled to set their timeta-
bles one hour ahead so that there would
be proper train connections at junction
points. This interfered quite seriously
with the trend of events in the states
which were guided by standard time. To
be sure, some of the confusion incident
to the early stages of the daylight saw
ing system in Massachusetts,. has been
eliminated in Vermont and other states
not under the daylight saving system
but there nevertheless remains a lack of
cohesion, even under the adoption of the
latter states to the time of Massachu-
sets This lack of cohesion is so pro-
nounced as to make it seem inadvisable
tor any one state to attempt to engage
another year in a daylight saving system
unless all the states follow the same
course. At least, here in New England,
where we are so bound up together, no
move of this kind should be inaugurated
unless all the states of the geographical
DIVISION enter upon the arrangement.
