"This month is the first anniver-

Hossian described Ghandi as the
most remarkable person he had ever

"Ghandi believes the use Of vio-

Physical force he regards as the wea'
pom, not Of the strong, but Of the

The department Of geology at Mount
Holyoke college. in replacing collec-
tons lost by fire, has obtained q slab
Of Connecticut valley sandstone on
which are found fossilized mud cracks
and ripple marks Of bygone ages, and
with them seven footprints made by
giant dinosaurs. The slab is an un-
usually good specimen, as both sides
have marks Of geological interest. 1t
measures u by 6 feet.
The ripple marks were made in the
ooze millions Of years ago, when the
region Of the present Connecticut val.
ley was large river bottom, occa-
sionally flooded. They are unusually
distinct.
The footprints show that at least
two dinosaurs, one a big one, the 9TH
er apparently its young, roamed over
the mud flats on their hind legs. The
larger tracks are about inches long
and the indicated stride or feet.

4 Portland. Ore.-Forest lsods not

Ing allowed to lie idle.
This warning was guided by Col.
W.. B. Greeley, chief Of the forest
service, who stopped here en- route to
Washington, D. c., from Mather Field,
CAL, where he attended. the forest
FIRE conference.
If we are to remain a nation Of

the entire lumber cut Of the world,
and uses IS per cent Of the amount

=! Timber Running Out.
1.-The exhaustion Of our timber sup.
ply Is coming about" said the forest
service chief, mot because we have
used our forests freely, but because
we have failed to use our timber
growing land. The problem In nut
shell is the enormous area Of forest
land, which has been 80 logged and
burned that it is producing little or
nothing. We have more than SO,0OO,-
700 acres, an area greater than all the
forests Of France, Belgium. Holland,
Denmark, Germany. Switzerland.
Spain and Portugal, which have been
tlenuded to the point Of absolute idle
hess 50 far as the production Of any
Nmber Of commercial value is con-
terned.

cutover land now growing but a frac-
tlon Of the amount 81 timber which
they might produce. And we are add

Sees Trouble Ahead.
This situation cannot continue long
without grave consequences.
, "Where Americans need more for
ests Is largely on these 100000 TIM
ber-denuded acres which could be
mede productive again With proper at
tapsisn and proper profession e!e against
Ores" :.
Some Of the reasons why these for
ests are needed, according to Colonel
Greeley, are:
"Our manufacturing centers are
drawing at an enormous rate upon
bur timber supply-from two to four
times as fast per capita as the coun.
try at large.
"Orr railroads require 125,OOO.O 600
wooden crossties annually to main
tain their roadbeds in fit condition and
take care of new construction.
"Our average well-kept farms, using
the upper Mississippi valley as an in
stance. require 1000 board feet Of
lumber annually for repairs and i'm
provements."

Fur Bearers Vanish.

The muskrut, formerly held in small
esteem, is today recognized as 1he
most important OF American f'r-bcar-
ing animals. It's pelt, having become
fashionable, commands an everln-
creasing price.
Thereby the pursuit Of the little
beast has been stimulated, with the
result that its numbers nearly every
where are rapidly diminishing.
Trappers in the state OF Wisconsin
took more than 100000 muskrats in
1917. In 1918 they took fewer than
800, 900, aud in 1919 only about 10000.

In the homd OF Brown that the lat
ter began TO suspect that his wife

OF each others company and this
suspicion led TO him dismlssinR his

she was able 90 lead him on until

She Was "Backwoods Vamp."
Although Nancy Brown would not

him in such n snare that he became

After being dismissed by Brown,
Tidwell remained in the neighbor-
hood and previous to the killing was
said to have been seen lurking In the
vicinity of the Brown home, and on
the morning of the day when Brown
was killed was seen In the same To-
cality. riding an ass and wearing
upon the lapel OF his coat an ex-
ceedngly large bouquet of flowers.
After the killing a search through
the woodlands revealed where the
slayer had stood. The footprints
OF the ass were visible In the yielding
earth and nearby, trodden and fad
ed, n bouquet similar in size and
appearance TO the one which had
been 80 galy worn by Tidwell ~hen
seen ambling along the trail on the
ass. There were other circum-

picion upon young Tidwell and Mrs.
