PULP SHORTAGE
RELIEF. PLAN
EXPLAINED
American Users Handicapped
BY Canadian Embargo-Must
Plant New Forests.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE
nine million acres of idle land I'M
suited to agriculture in New York
State would, if properly forested,
relieve the present shortage of wood
pulp which now threatens the paper
making industry of the United
States, and would make it independ-
ent of foreign supply" DR.. Hugh p.
Baker, secretary treasurer of the
American Paper and Pulp Assocfa-
ton, today told members of the as
ISOLATION in convention here.
The United States faces a period
Of pulp shortage and attendant high
prices for fifty years, according to
DR.. Baker, who pointed out that
there Is no satisfactory substitute
for wood pulp in paper making and
that 95 per cent of the 1000, 900
tons of paper consumed annually is
made from pulp. American manu-
facturers are already handicapped,
DR.. Baker declared, by an embargo
on pulp from Canadian freehold
land.
ITO meet such a situation" said
DR.. Baker, "the paper industry of
the United States is conducting an
aggressive campaign for the devel-
opment of Federal and State fores.
try legislation which will encourage
timber land owners to reforest their
cut.overlands and to thus assure the
industry a continuous supply of the
raw material upon which it's mills
depend"

To RACE
DER|G|BLE At
ST.LOUIS
First Contest of Kind to Be
Staged at Aeronautic
Meet in Fall.

A unique aerial race, the first
OF its character to be staged, Will
pit a specially built dirigible bal
loon against an airplane at the ma
tionaI airplane race meet at st.
Louis. The dirigible is designed to
make a speed of eighty miles an
hour and the contending airplane
viii be a JIM, one of the most
popular training machines used in
this country.
Aeronautical sharps are looking
for close race with something OF
comedy element in it because OF
the fiat and lean" contrast between
the two aircraft. The event, how
ever, is planned as a serious test
of army equipment to bring out
features adaptable to the air de-
Tense of the country in time Of war.
Led by Acting Mayor Aloe, the
st. Louis airplane race committee
with the cooperation OF the St
Louis Flying Club, has all that
city's business interests united in
working together to make this the
greatest meet in the history OF
aviation. It was announced at
headquarters of the National Aero
nautic Association today that manu-
ldCIul cI6 u oil all d1lu dSCCSSOI tCS
are already offering special prizes
for particular performances by the
contestants and that the indications
are for the greatest collection OF
awards for contenders ever known
at an aviation exhibition.
st. Louis is making a special
campaign to enroll every man and
woman in the city in the National
F-AeFonautie Association in order
that, the race meeting days, October
1, 2 and 3, which fall in the week
of the annual carnival Of the Yelled
Prophet, with it's great parades,
ball and banquet, will add to the
alluring attractions Of that autumn
festival.
AS it is one Of the principal func-
tons of the National Aeronautic
Association to inform the people of
the attHtnmentS in the air that
benefit commerce, finance and agri-
culture, the endorsement of it's work
in Missouri is already shown con-
vincingly by the enthusiasm with
which it greeted the award Of the
national airplane races to st. Louis
in the keen competition with many
other cities. All Missouri is a unit
with every section of the country in
the purpose to work within the Ma
tional Association to maintain the
economic leadership of the country
and the national independence
through a wise provision for the
air defense of the United States
and it's possessions.

Mrs. Finch is not among the
twenty who are complaining to au-

She was married enough to him,
she declares, but she obtained a di.

Goethals Sees Need Of
New Canal in
30 Years

NEW YORK, April H.
Judging from the tonnage
using the canal today it would
seem that a new canal of equal
capacity across the Isthmus will
be needed within thirty years."
Gen. George w. Goethals, build
er Of the Panama Canal, said
today.
General Goethals said he was
not prepared to discuss the
probable cost of a new Panama
Canal, which some engineers
say will require from $780,
100000 to 81, O00,0OO,OO0.
Shipping passing through the
canal now amounts to more
than 100000 tons yearly. S.
B. Williamson, chief engineer
of the Pacific division Of the
canal, estimates that by build
ing an additional set of locks
and the proposed Athajuela
dam the canals capacity can be
increased by 1860 to care for
49,71O,OOO tons of shipping
yearly.

Lose Out With. Chauffeur After
Hard Luck at Swapping
President.

The Association of News Photog-
raphers for the Suppression of Poll
tics is now in process of formation.
Line forms away over on the right.
The organization was started late
yesterday on Connecticut avenue,
near Woodley road, with a warmly
profane charter membership of six.
AS the dust Of a purring limousine
rose distantly, the association came
into being, vociferously.
President Harding, Al Jolson and
a certain colored chauffeur were re-
sponsible for the new welfare group.
The camera champions, being de-
barred from The Times cherry BIOS
som picture contest because they
were professionals, found them
selves with nothing to do yesterday
afternoon except to take orders.
Sent to Chevy Chase.
Orders came, from half dozen
different directions, to go to the
Chevy Chase Club links, where the
President and Our Al were making
Gene Sarazen look like duffer.
The lens hounds were out to get
the pictures for the papers.
The flicker fraternity, converting
at the links, bore down on the dis
tinguished golfers and began order
ing the President about in the auto
cratic manner peculiar to their
clique.
The Chief Executive, however,
refused to be daunted by the curt
commands. While the star of
"Bombo" leaned on his midiron and
anticipated a powerful piece of pic
torial publicity, the star of Marion,
Ohio, voiced a diplomatic objection.
AS the President proved obdurate,
the committee on pictures slammed
shut it's cameras and prepared for
q long trek home and words with
the boss.
Taken Aboard Auto. !.
On the road outside, a shining
limousine, previously mentioned.
manned by q self-satisfied colored
chauffeur, driving slowly toward
the city, was hailed by the care
free crew of camera sharks. The
driver consented to drive the boys
into town.
The car was nearing Woodley
road, and it's white occupants were
saying evil things about their luck,
when the chauffeur craned his neck
in their direction.
"You-all fo-toggerfers?" asked he.
"Nothin' else but" replied the
destined president of the new asso-
citation.
''Wha' at you-all been?"
"Out at Chevy Chase, taking pic
lures of golfers.
