makes itself Of the very simplest

good tall fellow, just now far from
happy. He had been struggling up
from the depths of a first rejection.
Molly Manners has thrown him there
hard. Now he blessed her as a mis-
ft patron saint. Suppose she had not
so thrown him, and this fairy goddess
had happened?
He had been tramping sturdily all
afternoon. Now, with the sur wester-
ing sharply, he had begun to think Of
supper and a bed. Camping was all
well with company and preparedness,
but sleeping on bare earth and an emp
ty stomach did not appeal to him.
Thus evidently his heartache was by
way of easing itself normally, even
without the magic. Plus the magic, 1t

trees a pair Of bluejays had been play

WAR On WOOD WASTE

Mhrounh Cooperation With Forest
Products Laboratory Methods Are

nous Waste OF Wood.

Washington.-aOnly 80, per cent OF
NE wood In q forest now gets into the
4Drm OF seasoned. unplaied lumber.
Of this an additional 10 to % per cent

ia extreme cases as little as three per
cent of the wood in the forest may
Teach the finished product"
This statement lis made in a booklet
Just issued by the Department Of Ag.
hculture. entitled Forest Products
Laboratory, describing the work and
aims Of the experimental laboratory
maintained by the forest service, in
cooperation with the University Of
Wisconsin, at Madison, Wis.
The booklet outlines how, through
iuyestigation and experiment, the
laboratory Is devising and broadcast
DC practical commercial methods by
which this enormous waste Of the
4Ountry's timber supply can be re-
0uced.. BY reducing this waste, it Is
painted out, the life Of our present for
44sts. will be prolonged and the prob
19m Of growing new forests made
bfmpler, because by preventing the
haste Of timber less timber will have
ID be grown.
Among the various methods studied
ut the laboratory for decreasing waste
M forest products is the treatment Of
woods with p~reservatives resisting de-
Day. Through such treatment an an
nual saving Of one and one-half billion
board feet is estimated to be possible
IN the case of railroad ties alone, and
the preservation Of other classes of
Timber would, in the aggregate, greatly
relieve the drain on our forests.
The forest products laboratory is a
government institution; it's advice and
suggestions are to be had for the ask
ng. It presents, according to the
booklet, an opportunity for many man
ufacturers, wood users, and timber
Srowers to supplement the information
