Col. w. b. Greeley, chief forester

the most universal of all materials
and has more to do with the stand

any other basic material. We are
now facing the necessity of having
to reduce to one-half or perhaps one
third. That is going to mean a COM

agriculture and industry. The whole
thing is interviewer in our national
life to point that makes the use
of wood in some sense the critical
thing in establishing our costs of
living and our commercial and indi-

AIR SERVICE TO AID
RED CROSS IN EMERGENCY
New Plan to Enable Quick Trans

plies to Scenes of Disaster.

The American Red Cross, in time
of emergency, will have at its disposal
the air services of the Army, Navy
and Post Office Department, 1t was
announced today at national head
quarters by Vice Chairman James
L. Fieser.
Secretary Of War Weeks some time
ago advised the Red Cross that in
case of emergency. the chief of air
service of the Army here would ar
range at once for the transportation
of disaster relief personnel in air.

telegraphic request from duly ac-
credited agents of the Red Cross.
Recently at the suggestion of
the National Aeronautic Association
Chairman John Barton Payne re-
quested similar cooperation by the
Navy and Post Office departments,
which was offered without hesita-
ton.
District managers of the Red Cross
have been instructed to exercise care
in originating requests for airplane
transportation, which will be used
only in cases of unquestioned ne
cessity. The use of the combined air
services is expected to be of a great
assistance to the. Red Cross in trans

TIMBER PR0BERS
To LEAVE SUNDAY
First Stop of Senatorial Com
mittee Will Be at Jack
sonviIIe, Fla.

The senatorial committee on refer
estation, which has begun an investi-
CATION for the purpose of recommend
ing a national policy for conserving
the timber supply of the country and
promoting its growth. is to leave
here Sunday to carry on it's investi-
CATION in the timber lands OF the
southern states.
The committee is headed by Sena-
tor McNary. Oregon, and the other
members are Senators COuZenS, Mich1-
gan; Moses. New Hampshire; Harrt-
son. Mississippi, and Fletcher, Florida.
The resolution providing for the In,

mittee was appointed was introduced
in the Senate by Senator Harrison.

pose of the committee to proceed

menace over which the government
has no control at this time, except

whereby the government can and will
cooperate in that regard.
A great deal of timber is wantonly
destroyed and products wasted in one
way or another, and 1t is the purpose
of the committee to inquire carefully
into these matters for the purpose
of recommending how such destruc-

Ice-PoWder

The Duke OF Mantua nearly
two centuries ago had pow
der which converted water
into ice. No chemicals, no
magic powders are used in
turning water into ice at
American plants. Nothing is
added to the pure filtered
water. The heat is simply
taken away from it by the
brine into which the contain
ers are lowered. Through the
brine run pipes through which
liquid ammonia passes slowly
and expands into gas. AS the
ammonia changes to a gas it
takes the heat from the brine,
making it very cold. No am
monia can touch the water.

FREEDOM FOR ALL OPPRESSED
Lafayette's Aim Was Establishment
of Government by the People
Throughout the World.

Gilbert Du Motier, Marquis De La
fayette, was a man who did good
things in the world. In France he
worked for human justice and democ-
racy, and was one of the leaders in
the overthrow of the wicked mon
archie system of privilege and in the
establishment of a government by the
people. In America he fought for the
freedom of the cOlonists, and in the
end he persuaded France to send the
men and the ships that made possible
the final victory at Yorktown.
France reveres the memory of La
fayette. Born a nobleman, he was
ever a noble man, man whose mo-
tives were unself1sh and whose life
was devoted to the betterment of the
lives Of others. America revereS the
memory Of Lafayette because In
America his unseldshness was most
aobly exemplihed. Not for the free

long extending coastal plains to the
east The appearance is of one story
and entering the hall one is still de-
,ceived, for Jefferson disliked stair
cases to such an extent that he shut
them all UP in closets. The hall
shows only gallery on which the
bedrooms open. In the dome itself
Jefferson planned billiard room, but
law was passed by the state before
it was completed, forbidding the game
and so it was left in IN unfinished
state. The wings Of the house end in
octagonal projections; the northern
one containing the dining room, tea
room and two guest rooms, the south
ern forming Jefferson's private suite,
sitting room, library and bedroom.
Under the dome on the west is the
great drawing room, famous for its
parquette flooring Of native woods and
it's pillared portico. There were 553
acres in the estate.
More notable Of the architectural
features of the house Is the hiding
away of all signs of kitchen, laundry,
stable and the many workshops nec-
essary on a plantation Of that period
when almost every article in daily
use was manufactured on the estate
by servants and slaves. The sharp
declivity of the mountain made it pos
sible to have these offices all at
lower level than the house. A tunnel
from the basement leads right and
left to one-story pavilions, used by
the slaves By this contrivance dish
washers, cooks, buffers, maids, troops
of slaves with wood for fires, cans Of
ashes, pals of hot or cold water did
their work without disturbing the
tranquility Of the family and their
guests. An oddity contrived by Jeffer-
son is a dumb-waiter for hoisting
wine from the cellar, with a capacity
of but one bottle.

When Jefferson in 1909 completed
his second term as President, he has
tened to Monticello; there he hoped
to find privacy, freedom and leisure.
In a measure, perhaps, he realized
them. He enjoyed society, but he did
not relish the intrusion of idle, curl
Gus fellow countrymen who came to
stare and finger.
Capt. Edmund Baker, for 20 years
Jeffersen's overseer and man OF busi-
ness, said that Jefferson's visitors "ate

way, on Jefferson's death the estate
was so impoverished that hia heirs

MARKS BUNKER HILL

The Bunker Hill monument, of all
the monuments in America, commands
our greatest reverence. 1t stands upon
what is properly called Breeds hill,
in the Charleston section of Boston.
It's sides are absolutely parallel with
those of the redOubt that had been
erected there on the night before the
battle, and behind which the patriots
took refuge from the British advance.
Almost so years had elapsed from
the time of the battle before a move
ment was made to erect cOmmemO-
rative monument on Breeds hill. An
association for the purpose was
formed in 1924, and to give eclat to
the transaction, and to excite enthusi-
asm in favor of the work, General La
fayVtte was invited to lay the corner
stone, being at the time the nations
guest.
Accordingly, on the 18th of June,
1925, the f1ftieth anniversary of the
battle, that revered patriot performed
the interesting ceremony, and Hon.
Daniel Webster pronounced the ora

vast cOncOurse of people. Forty sur

location is about three miles from

TNE$(N3W difficulties that have
Y 0Z&NR 4 heretofore prevented the
ND Wy acquisition of Jefferson's
Virginia home as a per-
manent memorial have been overcome.
Jefferson M. Levy, present owner of
Monticello whose family has held title
to the property since his uncle, Com
mOdore Uriah P. Levy of the United
States navy, bought it in 1888, seven
years after Jeffersons death, has al
ways been an ardent admirer of the
author of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and was loath to part with Mon
ticello. Patriotic motives finally in
fuenced him to enter into an agree
ment with the Memorial Foundation.
Monticello was Jefferson's home
from ITO till his death, July 4, 1926,
and therefore famous But with it's
passage out of the possession of the
Jefferson family a little more than a
century ago, it was all but forgotten
by the public; not completely, how
ever, because in 1865 the legality of
the will of Commodore Uriah Phillips
Levy, leaving the estate to the federal
or to the state government for use as
an agricultural college, or to Hebrew
charity organizations, was contested
in the courts by his family. In 1912
bill was introduced in congress by
Representative Martin w. Littleton
providing for the purchase of Monti-
mo-
time was propitious because the Dem
ocratfc party had just returned to
power, the bill was not passed, nor
was 1t in 1917 when it was revived.
Jefferson, as every good American
knows or should know, was third Pres
ident Of the United States, 18O1-O9.
He was born in Virginia April 13, 1743.
He was graduated from William and
Mary college in 1852 and admitted to
the bar in 1867. He was member of
the Continental congress, 1775-1776;
member of the ommittee-Jefferson
