FOREST
BRINGS HIGH PRICES

Lumber production in the United
States has been steadily decreas-
ing for 10 years, and this in the
face Of a need unparalleled in the
history of the country. Accord
ing to a bulletin just published by
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, of 81 eastern and southern
lumber producing states, SO showed
a decreased cut and on'y one OF a
slight increase in 1920; while Pa
cific Slope states all report substan-
tial increases, showing that the
center of production is shifting to
the western states, the last of our
softwood reserves.
Thirty years ago after the deple-
ton of New York and Pennsylvania
white pine sections, the American
lumber market was drawing its sup
ply from the Great Lakes states.
When the source in those sections
became exhausted and the forests
no longer able to supply the diamond
or furnish enough to keep the mills
in operation, the industry moved to
the southern yellow-pine region,
and is rapidly duplicating the same
procedure there. The inevitable re-
suit follows that within the near fu-
ture we shall be wholly dependent
upon this reserve of all-purpose
softwoods, the Pacific slope. Not
only is the remaining domestic
source of softwoods, but a recent
survey Of the worlds supply of this
commodity d~iscloses the fact that
there are no foreign forests of this
character that we may draw upon
when our own are exhausted.
These figures and facts suggest
several questions that touch the
welfare of every individual in our
growing population. What will be
the effect when our timber is gone?
What will be the several stages ot
adjustment? What steps should be
taken to meet the national needs?
What is being done in this respect?
The average rate of decrease
owe the last IS years has beer
about 2 percent per year. The
figures for 1920 are about 27 per.
cent lower than the high produc.
ton peak that was reached in 1907
when we produced about 46 billion
feet. We have passed the high
point and the present tendency
downward is permanent. Since this
is the cas- there must be some ac-
tive steps taken to insure perma.
nent local sources of timber for the
future.
The bulletin just published dis
cusses this problem with great
c%learness and sets forth figures
based on facts. The material pre-
scented in this bulletin is of SUI
preme Importance in rendering
the attitude that shall be- taken to.
ward u remaining timber re-
sources. This attitude must be the
reflection of public opinion. For
this reason the bulletin is avail
able for general distribution, that
the public may have the opportunity
of familiarizing themselves with
the developments of the past dec
AIDE and may understand the vital
Importance of timber as an adjunct
to continued prosperity.

Bold Local Banditry.

Washington's banditti grow bolder
daily. They go about singly, or in
groups, without masks, most recently
with their faces painted with theatri-
cal makeup, armed, boldly entering
business establishments with orders to
the occupants to throw up their hands
and submit to the looting Of the prem.
ises. They are getting small sums, the
contents of cash drawers. sometimes
of the pockets of merchants and even
of customers. In some cases they
travel IN stolen cars, which they
abandon when they have finished their
nights work. Thus far no identified
tions have resulted in a thorough po-
lice search for those who have com
mitted the recent robberies.
What is to be done about this? OBJ
viously. it cannot be permitted to pro-
ceed without check. else the city will
be terrorized. The police cannot be
everywhere at once. They cannot
guard the small stores night after
night. The storekeepers cannot be ex-
pected to provide armed guards for
their establishments at all hours. The
problem is difficult.
In these cases the thieves spot their
places of operation, watch their
chances. enter quietly in the guise Of
customers and swiftly act. Whether
they would invariably fire if resisted
is not assured. In one recent case.
when fired upon. the thieves returned
shots, but nobody was wounded. There
is no difficulty about these highway
men and store bandits getting guns.
They can arm themselves, under the
lax laws in force here, without any
trouble at all. The chances are largely
in their favor, and they seem to be
acting with shrewdness.
These late thefts may be all the
work of a single gang. or they may
be undertaken by different individuals,
encouraged by the successes scored
already. In some cases identification
would be easy if the thieves were
caught, for there has been little at
tempt at disguise. The heaviest pos
sible sentences should be meted out
TO any Of these bandits who are caught
and convicted, to discourage imitators.

Pershing on Airplanes.

Gen. Pershing has written in favor
of an air force adequate for our de-
fense. Here is certainly a man whom
all Americans will accept as an au
thority on matters pertaining to war.
It is not that Gen. PershinS urges
sufficient air force for land operations
that should make men heed his coun-
sci. All men now understand that the
airplane has tablished itself as an
auxiliary to other branches of the
Army in obtaining information as TO
the lay of the land and enemy troop
movements. observing and directing
gun fire and assisting in attack and
defense by bombing. by machine gun
fire and in other ways. The significant
part Of Gen. Pershings observations
and recommendations has to do with
the air force in coast defense. Ife says
that the bombing experiments off the
Virginia coast a year ago demonstrat-
ed to him that one of the major mis-
sions of the airplane will be in attack
ing hostile fleets. He is satisfied that
the experiments showed that airplanes
dropping bombs can put great war
ships out Of commission.

the sinking Of the ship was an act of
piracy, in violation Of all laws govern
ing civilized warfare at sea. About q
year later the same court rendered a
final decree to the same effect, holding
that the sinking Of the ship was a
German crime, and recommending
that the sufferers or their heirs should
seek redress from the German govern
ment through the State Department.
In an earlier case in the state courts
an insurance policy was collected upon,
although the insured had signed q
rider" to the policy releasing the COM
pany in the event that his death should
result from war. In that case, how
ever, the insurance company, it was
found, had failed to have the rider filed
and approved by the state authorities.
In the Vanderbilt case just decided the
policy itself covered acts Of war as
outside Of the scope Of liability.
If the federal decision should final
ly stand the state decision just rem
dered will have no effect as to claims.
The court at Albany defines the sink
ing Of the Lusitania in terms totally
differing from those employed in the
federal decision. If the sinking Of the
Lusitania was an act of war there can
be no claims save against the own
ing company. II it was an act Of
piracy the company is not liable, but
the German government may be. Con-
sidering the difficulty of larger debtors
in collecting from Germany these
claims are likely to become of relative
ly slight importance, save perhaps as
matter of history.

confused. He finds it hard to reach q
verdict as to whether this sparrow ID
vicious and worthless or whether he ia
an aid to man. AS long as there re.
mains 30 much doubt it might be the
humane thing to give 'he sparrow the
benefit Of that doubt. Not long ago
the charge was current that it was the
English sparrow that drove off, ma
tive birds, and the inference was
drawn that the sparrow was RESPONSE
BILE for the decrease in the number of
native birds. That decrease was clear
ly due to other causes. Bird-protec-
tion laws are bringing about notable
increase in the number Of native birds
as we'll as in the number of winter
and summer migrant birds. The Eng
lish sparrow in the back yards and
gardens Of the city seems to get along
with the northern junco or "snowbird"
about as well as one would look for
in the case Of two species Of birds. Any
one may see them eating from the
same crust Of bread, and each bird Is
probably duly thankful for the hand
out"
The English sparrows in the city
and in the country have somewhat
different habits. In the days of the
horse the city bird was street and
gutter forager. With so little food to
be had now in the streets the city
sparrows have declined in number
because of starvation and removal to
the country, but in the fields and
woods and along the roads the Eng
lish sparrow seems to behave very
much as the members Of the large
family of American sparrows. He
works hard for a living. and eats the
seeds Of weeds and other plants in
winter and insects in summer. He will
eat domestic grain when he can get it
by fair means or foul, but the English
sparrow is not alone in this weakness.

The English Sparrow.

Another man has come forward in
the newspapers to defend the English
sparrow. This man says that for
vegetables for market, and that during
that time he has never killed one of
these birds. which he calls his little
feathered friends" He says. with
other things, that, THE white grub so
destructive in newly planted straw
berry rows Is held in check whenever
the English sparrow shows up" and,
when the snow lies deep feed them

So much testimony is given against
and for the English sparrow that a

Learning to Work.

The sixteen-year-o daughter of a
busy and presumably rich and pros
porous publisher in New York is work
ing at a typewriter for s4 a week
among 200 other employees in her
fathers plant. So the story runs. She
works there only half day. but the
other half in spent in a business col
lege. 1t is employment de luxe. as the
young lady travels to and from the
office in her auto driven by chauf-
feur. The main point is that she is
learning to work, and that she may ac-
uuire the work habit. Such a habit
will make for her happiness and peace
Of mind in the years to come. Many
men and women know that there is no
such happiness and content as that
found in work. At times, and with too
little vacation, work becomes drab,
with a little too much vacation the
old job appears as a source OF COM
fort and ease. There is thrill in do
ing things which cannot come to those
who idle or indulge in so-called pleas
ures all the time. The father of this
young girl has said to reporters: I'm
glad she's out there working. Every
girl ought to learn something that will
make her self.supporting if she has TO
be. Then they wouldn't have to marry
some man to keep them in food and
clothes. as 80 many of them do"
There is a great deal Of truth in this.
Perhaps it is all truth. Every one
knows of mistakes made by parents in
rearing daughter with the single
thought that she will marry we'll
