The Durability
of Wood
lBy J. E. jones'

Washington, July 1S.-At the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
a scientist is bred for every phase OF
plant, vegetable, and animal life. The
boil weevil has been licked in the
Cotton Belt, the shee tick soused to
his doom in the Southwest, and the
cattle tick drowned by the methods
devised in the Department. Soil ana
lysis, climate and the different crops,
have been so thoroughly adjusted in
this great Government institution,
ed from being called q mossback to
recognition as wise man. All of
which preliminary observation explain
quite another phase Of activity of the
department with reference to It's con
illusions regarding the theories advan-
ced regarding the dura bility Of wood
at the time Of cutting. The Forest
Service, which is a Bureau Of the De
partment. Of Agriculture, declares that
the time Of cutting has Very little
effect on the durability or other prop
critics if the timber is properly cared
for after it is cut. The important
,, feature Of preserving wood rests in
the method of handling logs at diff
! ferent times of the year.
Timber cut in late fall and winter
seasons more slowly and with less
lchecking than during the warmer
months, and when proper storage is
| impra cticable, winter cutting is best
Fungi and insects do not attack wood
out of doors III cold weather, and by
the time warm weather arrives the
wood is partly seasoned and sonlwhat
| less susceptible to attack. It is for
these reasons that winter cutting is
] advantageous, and not on account Of
smaller amount Of moisture or sap
III the wood in winter, as the popular
belief has been. There is practically
no difference in the moisture content
of green wood in winter and summer.

Cubans Again Ask U. S.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Further de-
mand for supervision by the United
States of the coming Cuban bye-elec-
tion, which will determine the Presi-
dency Of Cuba, in controversy since the
elections last November, was made to-
day by leaders Of the Cuban Liberal
party. They denied the statement at
tributed to the Cuban Minister, DR..
Cespedes, that enemies Of the island
republic are the only ones seeking

eral E. H. Crowder in 1919, is neces-

"This government must assure pro-

a statement issued to-day. "Inasmuch

Good to Quit
House After
Budget Passes
Resignation of Head of
Appropriations Commit
tee Is Expected to Start
Hot Fight for the Place
Leaders Boom Madden
Plan to Sidetrack Davis,
Who Would Get the Post
by Law of Seniority

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-James w
Good, of Iowa, chairman of the power
full Appropriations Committee of the
House of Representatives will resign
his seat in the House in the near fu-
ture and enter law firm in Chicago.
Mr.. Goods resignation would take
place, close friends said tonight, as
soon as the budget bill had been placed
on the statute books If that should
occur before March 4 Mr.. Good would
resign then and not serve a day Of the
two-year term for which he was re-
elected in November. If the budget
bill should fail at the present session
Mr.. Good would serve enough of the
next term to see that bill written into
law.
Mr.. Goods propo sed retirement from
the House has started one of the hot
test fights for committee chairman
ships since the Republicans regained
control Of the House in the 1918 cleo
tion. The ranking member of the com
mittee after Mr.. Good is Charles r.
Davis, of Minnesota, one of the vet
erans of the House.
Madden Urged for Place
The normal law of seniority, which is
sometimes, though not often, violated,
would give Mr.. Davis the chairman
ship, but some of the leaders of the
House would lik. to see Martin B.
of Illinois, made chairman.
Mr. Madden is newcomer on the Ap-
Committee. having been
transferred to it at the present session
from the Postoffice Committee, on
which he was ranking member after
the chairman. He was put in third
place-that is, just after Mr.. Davis

power. At this session there was for

Committee the right to handle all ap.
preparation bills, Including those for.
merly handled by the Naval, Military
Postoffice, Foreign Affairs and other
committees. which up to and including
last session dealt with the appropria-
tions bills affecting the departments of
the government in which they were
chiefly interested.
Plan to Sidetrack Davis
The plan to sidetrack Mr.. Davis pro-
vides for complete reorganization of
the committee without regard to length
of service on the committee itself. Now
that it has charge of all appropriations,
the argument is made that it should be
treated as new committee and organ
lied as such. 1t was impossible to ac-
compllsh this at the start of the present
session, when the committee was en-
larged, because Mr. Good was their
chairman, and there was not the slight
est desire on the part of any one to
remove him from it.
Not only is Mr.. Good regarded as g.
very able and capable man, but he is
prominent in the national councils of
the Republican party and held high
place in the executive direction of the
Western end of the campaign from Chi
cago headquarters last fall.

MARION, Ohio, Jan. AL
though Senator Harding made no
comment to-day upon the report
ed desire of some British states
men to form an Anglo-American
entente, this friendly attitude
was believed to augur we'll for
the Harding plan for an associa-
ton of nations in which the lead
ing Allied powers would take the
initiative in accordance with
hopes Of the President-elect.
England's lead, it was believed,
will be readily followed by
France and Italy, and, should
this development come to pass,
Japan will be inclined to join
with her associates Of the recent
war in forming a base for a con-
tinuation of the present align

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Further do

unemployment, accompanied the coun-

REIMBURSEMENT in December, according
to the monthly review of general husi-
ness and financial conditions issued to-
night by the Federal Reserve Board.
The price decline for the month was
placed at S1a per cent. The decrease.
the review says, was confined mainly
to commodities which had shown a de-.
cline previously rather than to an ex-
tension to other industries.
lhe decline was reported as most
marked in agricultural products, tex
tiles, hides, leather and iron and steel
products, while coal petroleum. gAso-
line paper brick and cement remained
largely unaffected. Some reductions
were reported in the open market in
the latter group of commodities. the
board said, but contract prices ap-
peared to be at the same level as in
earlier months.
Reduced business activity, the board
stated, cut operations in many lines

The shrinkage Of de-
mand, the board reported, also was re-
sponsible for wage cuts running as
high as 25 per cent in some lines.

the board found. Stronger banking
conditions were reported by the Boston
district where the liquidation in com
modities, while drastic, was said to
have been on the whole orderly.
Easier money rates were reported by
the New York district together with
the sharpest price declines of the
present movement, reduced manufac-
turing volume and export trade, but an

Astonished at Reports
Agreement Between Eng

Regarded as the Solution
By Ralph Courtney

Copyright. 921, New York Tribune Inc
PARIS, Jan. 2.-Le Temps tonight
invites Great Britain to inquire of her
ally Japan what she intends to do
about naval disarmament. The news
paper thinks that the whole disarma-
ment question has taken on new
aspect if it is true that Canada and
Australia would stand by America in
the event Of possible war with Japan.
The French public has always been
told that the way to world disarma-
ment lay through an agreement be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, under which those two nations
would decrease their building pro-
grams simultaneously. The public is
amazed to hear that, despite the ex-
istence Of an alliance between Great
Britain and Japan, Australia. New Zea-
land and Canada consider the Ameri-
can feet as protection for them
selves. Frenchmen also read with
astonishment reports that Canada
might even use American naval bases
for her warships.
In these circumstances, says lie
Temps, Great Britain no longer holds
the key to disarmament. and the world
can achieve no results through an
agreement between Great Britain and
the United States. Japan is the coun-
try which must be heard from. the
newspaper argues, since America
seems to be favorably disposed toward
disarmament.
lie Temps believes that Great
Britain, as Japan's ally, is in the best
position to ask Nippon regarding her
The newspaper continues:
at is often said that it would be
necessary for England and the United
States to agree upon simultaneous
reduction, but if we are to get results.
the problem must be approached in an

other manner. 1t is impossible to
pretend that Americas ornaments
threaten British interests when The
Canadians consider the American
feet protection for themselves. Nor
can the idea be upheld that the first
thing to do in order to avoid ruinous
competition is to persuade America to
stop the construction Of her great
cruisers. The first step in reality is
to find out whether Japan wants to
continue her naval armaments. Eng
land seems to be best situated to ask
this question as friend"
