METHOD IN SAVING
OF WOOD STRESSED
Strict Conservation Would
! Save Billions of Feet of
Timber, Is View.

Application of strict conservation
tries of the Nation, carrying elimina-
tion of waste all the way down the
line, from the loggers in the woods
to the manufacturers of the finished
product, ready for sale. would re-
suit i'll a saving of between six and
Seven billion cubic feet of wood every
year This would result in a net
saving of one-third of the wood cut
every year and would stretch the for
est resources of the United States
one-third longer at the present rate
of consumption.
Purpose of Conference.
Outlining the purposes of the Ma
tional Conference on Utilization of
Forest Products, Howard NJ. Gore,
Acting Secretary of Agriculture; Col.
w. b. Greeley, chief forester. and
Carlisle p. Winslow, director of the
forest products laboratory, declared
that manufacturers and operatives
all the way down the line engaged in
the handling of forest products Will
be urged to put into effect a practt-
cal scheme of conservation. The con-
ference Will be held November 10
and 90 at the New National Museum,
and it is hoped President Coolidge
Although conservation methods
have been applied in a somewhat
loose way to the lumber industry of
the United States. the net waste is
still enormous, aggregating about
two-thirdS of the wood cut in the for
eSts OF the Nation, Col. Greeley said
At least one-third Of this wasted
wood could be saved, he declared, by
strict application of proper conserva-
tjop methods from the source of the
raw product down to the finished
the Forest Service, if applied, would
result in a saving of timber equal to
what is being grown on all the forest
reserves of the United States.
Secretary Gore said conservation
steps must be taken. and taken soon,
if wood shortage is not to confront
the Nation. Mr.. Winslow said the
per capita consumption of timber
must be cut down, if demands are not
to run too far ahead of the possible
market. Col. Greeley said the coming
conference is to be asked to establish
a permanent organization which will
urge upon lumber manufacturers a
program of conservation that will
result in great savings. Intensive
action along the lines of promoting
forest growth and promoting forest
protection, especially from fire, is
necessary. he added if enough timber
and other forest products TO meet the
Nations needs are to be provided.

The order of the court is based on
a suit for injunction filed by Henry

occupants of AZ Rhode Island avenue,

Through Attorneys Henry Gilligan

WOMEN GO TO GAYETY;
HERE'S WHAT THEY SAW
Show Might Well Pass for Big
Spectacular Revue-ElkS We'll
come New Manager.

Burlesque. the theatrical apple, So
ong-forbidden fruit to womanfolk in
Washington, revealed some Of it's secrets
to perhaps a hundred pairs of feminine
eyes at the Gayety Theater last night
when local Elks, little brothers to the
world" took mother, the wife, or the
best girl to "see the show The feature
of the evening was the presentation of
a huge basket of varicolored chrysan-
themums to Manager John w. Lyons by
Exalted Ruler of Washington EllS James
A. Bowerson. The occasion was to well
come Brother Lyons as the new man
ager of the Gayety back to Washington.
He used to be manager of the old Acad-
emy of Music, formerly on the site now
occupid by the Strand.
1t is hard to say just exactly what
women who have never seen hurlesque
shows really expect to see and hear.
They know that father often mumbes
jokes to the man next door when coming
home to dinner the next night after
seeing a show. When questioned he
frequently, in the past at least, has
flushed and mumbled sheepisly that il
was something he heard at the bur-
lesque show last night
Last night at the Gayety the
women present saw what might well
be termed a good vaudeville show,
almost of the revue class. Many of
the chorus girls were pretty. They
danced well. wore their gay costumes
we'll, and sang as we'll as might be
expected of any musical comedy
chorus. OF the three comedians there
was one that surely has possibilities
of rising to an Eddie Cantor or Ed
