TIMBER SUPPLY IN DANGER

Imperative Need Of a National

"One Of the most interesting things
TO come to my knowledge is the seem.
ing lack OF interest on the part of the
people of the United States to save
our forests" said Charles Lathrop
rack. president OF the American For
estry association. "Our new growth Of
timber Is not more than one-third Of
the amount being used or destroyed
every year. There is an end to all
things" continued Mr.. Pack, land the
umbermen. lumbermen and wood-using
industries must get together with the
roresters on national forest policy Of
some kind. We all know about locking
the stable door after the horse 10

and wonder what to do when the well
runs dry. but what are we going to do
when the forests give out? Place your

Whoever has journeyed to Cairo and
from there desires to go on to Jerusa-
lem may now buy his ticket In the
Cairo railway station and look out Of
the windows of the train at the seen
cry or the plain of Sharon as he makes
his trip. The rail connection has been
completed by new line from Judd
to Haifa, passing the ruins Of Athlit,
where the Templars long ago had
their last stronghold In Palestine. The
Journey from Egypt to the Holy land
Is greatly simplified: one need no
longer land at Jaffa. nor wonder how
much ones plans will he interfered
with by uncertain conditions of wind
and sea. More than that. Jerusalem
Is q much less dubious place for the
tourist to visit. and its points of in
terest may be much more conveniently
inspected than they used TO be. Good
order Is maintained. the city Is under
British discipline. the chance Of fall
ing among thieves" more or less an
accepted risk under the Turkish
regime, need hardly be considered.
One may visit the mosque of Omar
without the undesired companionship
of Turkish soldier. A good deal Of
regret has been heard that Europe

tourists to look at. but in some re-
spects at least 1t will be much changed
for the better.
