TELLS OF FOREST SAVING,

The work of the forest service in
reconstructing timber!ands after the
ravages of forest killing fire. and
saw mills was described to members
of the Kiwanis Club at the regular
weekly luncheon yesterday at the
Washington Hotel by Col. A. 3. Gree
ley Of the service.
Col. Greeley illustrated his talk
with stereopticon views. He stress
I'd the value Of the forests not only
for industrial timber uses but as re-
's;'eational camps and refugees for
city dwellers .ceking outdoor rec
reation and vacation sites.
He said that between fifty and
Iixty thousand forest fires occur an
nually. 1t is doubtful. he added. if
these fires had not Clused more de-
nuding Of forestland than the saw
mills which turned trees into boards.
The forest service has now 10000
acres under it's protection in twen
ty-:teven states, where timber is TAX
on out under a system that allows
young trees in twenty to forty
years to replace those taken out.
Franc E. Sherry was named chair

BISHOP FREEMAN SPEAKS.
Warns Against Pessimism at Fete
of Underwriters Association.

Speaking before the regular lunch
con of the District of Columbia I'm
derwriters' Association In the City
Club yesterday, Bishop Freeman ex-
horted an audience of prominent busi-
ness men. and women to drop the
cloak of pessimism and learn to un-
derStand that they are living in the
greatest age of history
IF l were given my choice of the
time in which / might live" said
Bishop Freeman, II should, without
hesitation, choose the present. And if
the same providence permitted me to
determine where l preferred to live, |
should say the United States Then, if
l were granted the right to more
closely define that, / should chose
the Capital of the greatest republic in
the world.
DO not become pessimistic just be-
cause one man in public office was
corrupt. Do not think all men in pub
lie office are dishonest. 1t takes an
unusual public to differentiate be-
tween testimony and evidence. Would
to God some of our men in public Of
fee knew the difference between tes-
timony uncorroborated and evidence
conclusive"
In his own time. the speaker said,
he could plainly trace steady move
ment of man to higher moral and in
tellectual levels. This. the bishop as
serted. was especially true of COM
mercial life. The successful business
man of today, he aid. must be clever.
but above all he must have a con-
science.

FIRST CT TEXAS RANGERS

The mounted police of Canada is the

MISTAKES MADE BY POETS
Diunders In Literature Are Not All
Confined to the Living
Authers.

The blunders in literature are not
all confined to living authors.
Nilton's lines. "Thick as autumnal
leaves that strew the brooks In VAL
lombrosa," are familiar to everyone.
but, as matter Of fact, the vallom.
brosa forests are all Of pine trees, Sc
that there are no leaves, and pine nee
dies do not fall in the autumn, but to-
wards spring.
In "Comus" he writes:
And IN the violet embroidered vale
Where the lovclorn nightingale
Nightly to thee her sad song mourneth
we'll.
Unfortunately for the poet. the male
nightingale alone sings and the female
is vOiceless.
Another classic writer who allowed
his meter to get the better of his sense
was Pope. who wrote:
When first young Marc. In his noble
mind,
A work t outlast immortal Rome de-
signed.
He had overlooked the fact that, II
Rome was immortal. nothing could
outlast II.
But neither OF these Is any worse
than the story OF Pharaoh's daughter
finding the infant Moses among the
bulrushes on the banks OF the Nile As
matter of fact. bulrushes do not
thrive in that part Of the world, and
there are none on the banks Of the
Nile.
In his youthfulness may be found
some excuse for Keats writing:
Like stout Cortez. when. with eager
eyes,
He gaxed at the Pacific.
