ductive again. and a view Of the situation
is obtained. New Jersey alone has about
1000 900 acres, or one-half Of its area,
capable Of producing timber, while the
people Of Michigan, according 10 James
Oliver Curwood, are losing S50,OOO,OOO
a year because that state has no conser-
vation policy.
Forests are needed to protect cultivated
lands, the products of which fill the lard
ers Of city folks and provide some Of the
essential raw materials for industries.
Cities built in riparian valleys, too, should
be insured against the rayages Of floods.
This insurance may be had by providing
more Federal reservations, more state
reservations, laws by both Federal and
state governments to supervise cuttings
on public as well as on private lands, and
the cooperation Of the public with state
and Federal governments to fight and pre-
vent forest fires.
The Federal government has provided
152 national forests with a total Of 1S0,-
-
1911, l,s41, ,943 acres Of Appalachian
spruce and hardwood forest, afording
protection to navigable streams, have
been acquired out Of a total of more than
50,OOO,O0O acres Of this class Of timber
land.
Outstanding features Of bills now be-
fore Congress are: () An appropriation
Of 81 100000 is proposed for the Fores1
Service TO study silvicultural conditions
in the various states; (2) the amount ex-
pended by the Federal government in any
state during one year shall not exceed the
sum expended by the state; CD appropri-
alton Of 100000 to purchase lands
valuable chiefly for timber growth is rec
ommended; (4) appropriation Of 81 ,0O0,-

entries authorized by the existing law.
An appropriation of 81 100000 is deemed
necessary to classify unappropriated land;
CD that a government forester, so far
as practicable, cause to be inspected trees
being cut on commercial forest lands, for
the purpose Of instructing operators or
their agents on the ground in the method
Of applying certain prescribed govern
ment regulations; CD that a tax Of >
cents a thousand board feet be levied on
all products passing the government re-
quirements, and that a tax Of s. a thou

a fine Of $4,000 or one year imprison-
ment or both be imposed on any one who
knowingly classifes any taxable product
untruly, or willfully refuses to pay or
truly account for and pay over any tax
imposed by the proposed act.
There are about lsO,OOO,OOO acres Of
Federal forest land to shield 100000
acres Of land in the United States from
the ravages Of floods and droughts and
to protect SOC ,9S2, 2,3OI acres Of improved
farm land from the destructive action Of
the elements.
All told, there are thirty-three states
that realize the value, of forests, that
have forestry departments, while only
twenty-four are cooperating with the
national government The states Of
Pennsylvania and New York, in regards
TO stase-owned forest lands, lead all other
states. Pennsylvania has acquired more
than 100000 acres, and appropriates
around $l,OOO,O0O annually for its for
ests. The New York reserve in the Cats
kills and Adirondack mountains totals
roughly about 100000 acres. Large
areas in New York have been acquired by
tax sales, while the state has invested
only S5,O07,2S in further forest aequi
sitions since 1894. Both states maintain

occasion, in January, 1880, for.
Webster's historic reply to Hayne. in
1880 the states and territories contained
approximately s22 million acres Of virgin
forest land and about $500 billion board
feet Of timber In 1880 there were just
twenty-three miles Of railroads, while the
Erie Canal and the Cumberland Turnpike
were commencing 20 be used by settlers,
who sought the wealth Of that great but
as yet undeyeloped Western empire.
Congress had power TO appropriate
large tracts of forest land, forever pro-
tecting sources Of streams and nayigable
rivers and providing the nation with q
continuous supply Of timber. Congress
could then have settled the forest problem
for all time But the political issues Of
that day overshadowed forest and con-
servation subjects, and fine woodland was
sold 10 settlers at S1.25 an acre. To-day
the nation is taking inventory, and it is
found that our remaining timber supply
at present rate Of consumption will be
consumed within twenty-five years.
To-day so per cent Of the timber in
this country is in three states on the
Pacific Coast, whereas the lumber indus
try seventy years ago centered about
New York and Pennsylvania. To-day
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and the
states Of the Mississippi Valley have lands
in crying need Of reforestation. In fact,
the Department Of Agriculture AYERS that
fve-sixths Of our original timber supply
is gone.
This story Of forest devastation is not
so simply told. Forest fires have played
an important role, and in the course of
the last five years these fires have burned
56,4SS,000 acres, representing a loss Of
more than Ss5 1000, 900. Add to this the
fact that over $4,000, 900 acres have been
so devastated, culled and burned that

"HeIiotropep at Strand Today

"Heliotrope" at Strand Today
Paramount sends "Heliotrope as
the feature attraction for the Strand
for today and tomorrow. Undoubt-
edly the greatest story of father love
ever written, "Heliotrope" is likewise
one of the most sublimely human
dramas to ever reach the screen. II
is the story of a fathers sacrifice
for the happiness of his daughter
the father a crook, the mother a
crook, but the daughter ignorant OF
her parentage believing herself an
orphan-and il is the fathers effort
to save the daughters happiness, TO
save her from the Vaccinations of
her unscrupulous mother that gives
the story it's tremendous human
punch, the climax marking one Of the
most exceptional sequences Of dra-
matte action.
''Heliotrope' gains its name from
the name given 'Heliotrope Harry"
clever crook who used that per-
fume. Always the faint odor of
heliotrope made the presence of
opening of the story, "Heliotrope1 is
doing a stretch" His wife, who
was responsible for his going to
prison, is in New York. The daugh-
ter, in a convent in New Orleans. be-
lieving herself and orphan. meets
and falls in love with the scion of
a wealthy society family. the brother
of the daughters dearest girl chum.
The announcement of the approach
ing wedding stirs society. and the
papers are filled with the story of
the romance. The mother of the girl
believing she can blackmail the fam
lily of wealth carefully lays her plans.
"HeIiotrope's" pal Spike" Foley
writes "Heliotroper the status of the
case, and "Heliorrope" secures a.
parole to take charge of the case.
He promises he will not harm the
woman; he promises he will in no
way injure her. that he only wants
to save his daughter.
Husband against wife, and the
daughters happiness the prize for
which they struggle. 'Heliotropes"

most original stories ever penned by
the gifted Richard Washburn Child.
and the presentation Paramount has
