OUR TIMBER.

People fortunate enough to have some capital do not go ahead and spend 1t gradually without making some provision for more money by the time that capital is exhausted Farmers do not neglect to plant where planting is necessary to replace the crops they gather. Yet New England, according to R. C. Bryant, professor of numbering at Yale school of Forestry is doing just that in re- gard to it's trees Its forests will be cut in 32 years, according to this authority passing his statement on present stands and rate of growth and depletion. Gan New England afford to freeze out of its midst industries the value of whose manufactured products annually aggregates nearly one billion dollars and whose capital investment is $500, 100000 or more and which give employment to nearly 100000 people?" he asks.
 Renewing our forests is one of the matters that comes up often for aca- demic discussion. General remarks are made upon the subject-with lit- tie done. It is not an academic sub iect; it is vital matter the impor- tance of which may be seen when such statements as that here quoted are considered-the people employed, the capital invested, the value of the manufactured product. Those inter ested in New England will do well to cease considering this matter in the abstract and allow their imagina- tions to picture New England without these industries, without this raw material, to the end that systematized effort be made to preserve and renew our forests.

SAVINGS AND SUCH.

Amateur financiers-and newspa- per editors and editorial writers are quite amateurish usually about finan- cial matters-seem much worried be- cause Connecticut's finances are in such good shape. They fear the fact that the state has balance on the right side of the ledger may induce the state to enter into a period of wild spending. Some people seem to regret that the state is not facing a deficit-a thing which would en- courage economy.
 And now comes the distressing news that deposits in savings banks and trust companies have increased s27,s5O in the last year. This means, of course, that certain individuals have a balance on the right side Of the ledger, too. Reasoning along the same lines it is to be supposed that people who. are concerned about finances will now be worried for fear those savers will start in. spending lavishly.
 Let the worriers be assured, The recent hard times are too fresh in mems memories and the price of coal and other things is too high to allow anyone to forget, legislators or plain men and women-if there are any or the latter in this. state-that it is exceedingly uncomfortable to have nothing on hand to protect against the worry of the danger of another "spell" of hard -upness. There Will be no orgy of public spending; there will be no wild extravaganza on the part of individual savers. One who realizes that he is merely an amateur financier is inclined to rejoice that there is prospect of more money in circulation.

 It would be just and right were the state to give financial assistance, to this institution which New Britain has founded and fostered. Mayor Paonessa's request, inspired by the board Of health and his own desire to handle the affairs of the city eco- nomieally without giving up any for ward steps already taken, that bill be introduced calling for such aid, Is timely and right, Such aid. however, should not alter the local character of the institution. The request should be made reasonable one in order to gain recognition and to retain the institution as one calculated to relieve the state only as far as this city's tubercuar sufferers are concerned.

Y00D00 MYSTERY
Cuba Now Buzzing With Latest Sem .sation Wherein Little White Girl is Spirited Away From Her Parents.

Chamaguey, Cuba, Dec. 30.--Fail- ure to discover any trace of Cuca Lisea, the little white girl who was stolen by negro from the thatched hut of her parents on the Yama- queyes plantation, near Santa Cruz del Sur, early in November has given rise to another voodoo sensation.
 Nobody doubts but that the child has been sacrificed on a rude jungle altar to some gruesome African Mo- loch, and fantastic tales are being told of the secret practices of one of the three Haitien negroes who, with two Cuban blacks, are under arrest as suspects in the kidnapping mystery. The unrest has been increased by the publication of reports from Palmira that the ignorant population of that district is terrified by evidences of the power of negro sorcerers. These witch doctors are protected in their rites, 1t is charged, by political ele- ments who, in return, claim their support at the polls.

NEW BRITAIN "PREsENT."

This city was called upon to organ ize a company to stand ready TOT service to the country. The orders were to do the thing quickly. Twenty five men had to be secured within week. forty men eventually.
 Today the "top sergeant under First Lieutenant Walter O. Cook, promoted from Second Lieutenant, National Guard Reserve, and Second Lieutenant William H. Jackson, may answer "All present and accounted for" when the roll of Headquarters Company, First Battalion, 169th in- fantry Is called.
 Lieutenant Cook had charge of the recruiting. It is we'll that the men of New Britain responded and made his success possible. The people Of the city would have had reason to feel a bit humiliated had we fallen down when such call came. It Is well that New Britain again answers '.nresent" when a matter of duty is involved.

THE BOY SCOUTS.

It is an easy matter to utter pleas ing platitudes about what fine thing the Boy Scout movement is. It is quite natural for the good citizen to smile sweetly, nod his head benevo- lently and remark, when the move ment is mentioned, that he thor oughly approves of it and trusts it will continue to mould the youth of our land in the proper way.
 But the Boy Scout movement needs more than that. The pleasing plati- tudes won't make it grow. The sickly smile of the sentimentalist won't in duce boys to join and work and see the splendor in the ideals the move ment emphasizes. Boys hate that sort of business-the sweet, lovely re- marks, the paternal pats on the back accompanied by obvious remarks that mean nothing to them.
 The Boy Scout movement is a great movement. It trains boys to be men, strong mentally, spiritually and physl- cally. It needs men to push it. It has real men behind it. It needs every man in the city and every woman to encourage it. It is two-fisted move ment which emphasizes that manhood requires not only the ability to use the fists but the knowledge when they should be used--and when the fists should be unclenched and turned into hands not ashamed to help. It would be a great pity to have the work die out because of lack of interest in it. A lot of boys are growing up to be the sort of men that we want in this country at the head of affairs. The Boy Scout movement is doing this thing. Push it; look into it; encour- age it. The country needs those boys who will soon be men.

OUT OF THE BAG.

As suggested yesterday in these columns Senator Borah's proposed amendment to the naval appropria- tions bill, calling for an economic conference of nations at the request of the President of the United States has hurried things up-has let the cat out of the bag. in the vernacular' It was an eager cat, but those who opened the bag seemed bit sorry to be compelled to give the animal llb- erty just at this moment.
 So the administration has let 1t be known, through probably authorized spokesmen, that it hopes, of course, that the conference of allied Premiers in Paris will not come to an abrupt end-which is probably merely airy persifiage on the part of the govern ment-but if it should not bring re- suits the governments, including the United States if we are wanted, should name experts to confer us to how much Germany should pay, and how Germany may be financed so that France shall not have to wait for her money. It appears, also, that the administration does not want this conference of experts to be held in America as it is the affair of Europe, and desires it to be understood that the debt to the United States shall not be considered at all in the repa- rations discussion of these experts.
 Incidentally it is to be noted that Secretary Hughes while giving the same general spirit in his talk at New Haven, emphasized the fact that these economic problems could not be brushed away by the people of this country by calling them European nroblems." They are world prob-

ROCKY HILL sANAToRIUN.

The Herald has been much inter- ested in Rocky Hill sanatorium where local sufferers from tuberculosis arc cared for. It was something of a struggle to get those afflicted by the disease to go to this place at first. They did not want to leave their homes. It would have been prac- tically impossible to persuade them to leave the city and submit them- selves to treatment elsewhere. Many have been benefited by the local in- stitution who would otherwise have received no treatment The commu- nity has been benefited. It's work has been good. There was time, in the administration of Mayor Curtis, when the patients there were so few that there was talk of discontinuing treatment at the hospital and closing it. It was urged in these columns that the good work, begun, should not be allowed to fail
 Great institutions rise from small beginnings. Today the sanatorium is filled to capacity. This by no means indicates that tuberculosis is on the increase here. It means, on the other hand, that the sufferers are being educated to the wisdom of treatment; that the improvements which have been made in the institution have

 One of the things which the Cham ber directors have in view for next summer is an automobile tourists camp in the Belvidere section.
 Another project desired is an H. luminated sign board along the rail road tracks. Both of these projects were held over from the present year because of lack of funds.
 The finances for the past four years of the organization have run from 1O4 to 115 per cent of the in- come.
 It is understood, unofficially, that as soon as the Chamber is put on to a sound financial and business basis large corporations not at present CO., operating, will join.
 The Observer has just had 1t for cibly impressed upon hm how abso- lutely times have changed. The day after Christmas he was sitting in his luxurious library contemplating the deep thoughts to which he would try to give expression in this column, when an old acquaintance entered the room. The O. A. seated himself des- pondently in a velvet upholstered easy chair and placed his feet gracefully upon the Observers priceless library table.
 Say, Observ'," began the O. A. mournfully, lis all the traditions uv the past all shot to pieces? Can't a feller rely on the habitual custom O the centuries?"
 The Observer assured his Old Ac- quaintance that such appeared to be the present situation-that tradition and old customs seemed to be falling into the discard. But why do you ask?'' he questioned.
 Wall" responded the Q. A., Hong bout last August I wanted somethin', an wanted it bad. But I was sort O hard up an I didn't get to buy it. Then long came the fall, an then the winter. When December come had a inspiration. I wanted the thing bad, but O course, says to myself, don't have to buy it-Chritsmas is comin' an I'll get it then--some- body'll give it to me, sure"
 There was pathos in his eyes. The Observer felt for his Old Acquaint- ance. And" said the Observer sym pathetically, didn't you get the thing you longed for-the thing which you expected. because of tra- dition and the habit of centuries would come to you?"
 Nary 8 get" responded the Old Acsuaintance sadly. T guess this ol' world is goin' to the dogs"
 And what" inquired the Observer, what was it you wanted and expect ed for Christmas present."
