VALUE OF FORESTRY

Dr.. Herbert Smith Addresses
Pupils Of Sidwell's Friends
School.
DETAILS FIVE ACTIVITIES
Says National Timber Requires
Federal Protection.

Or. Herbert Smith of the forestry
service. Department of Agriculture,
outlined five uses of the national for
ests In this country to pupils Of the
Sidwells' Friends School yesterday,
as follows:
AS a means Of conserving the wa
ter supply In the dry regions of the
west; as lumber supply; as grazing
land for cattle in the more open
spaces; as a protection for wild AMI
mails. and as public recreation spots.
The forestry service, he stated, has
been Of inestimable value in pro-
tccting sandy regions from floods by
planting trees on steep slopes SO that
the soil can soak up the heavy rains
like a SpongS instead OF forming gull
lies. Unlike the utilizat ton OF coal.

They may continue to yield immense

they are under the care Of the forestry

left to the destruction of individuals
and forest fires the time would not be
far distant when our great forests

ed out.
The service also stocks many streams
with young fish and provides camping
spots in the forests for people. who
are thus enabled TO get away from the
hot cities during the summer. he con-
tiuued
Probably the most spectacular work
of the service is the fighting of fires
in the woods, he said. Many of these
fires are caused by the carelessness
Of campers who leave their campfires
without proper attention or by smok-

match or cigarette, the speaker stated.

Leniin

And now that Lenin's in his grave,
I ask these questions quaint: Was
he a hero or a knave, a satyr or a
saint? The human puzzle lies
asleep; so strange is his renown, l
know not whether l should weep
or kick his headstone down. / read
one book with covers green which
proves that he was great, the great
est man the world has seen since
Caesar pulled his freight: he played
a high and noble part, with virtue
still in mind; he had a fond and
yearning heart that loved all hu-
mankind. ] read book with covers
rcd which claims he was a wretch /;
the one regret, since he is dead, is
that he lodged Jack ketoh. With
other sinful. heartless gents he
played the butchers game, and in
the blood Of innocents he wallowed
to his fame. I wonder should I
hang a wreath upon his headstone
brown, or undermine the dirt be-
meath. and let the blame thing down.
Oh. should | sing his praises now,
exalt the good and brave, or bring
along my bob tailed COW, and stake
her on his grave? Well have to
wait for many years before we can
decide If he deserves regretfui tears
or curses deep and wide. Ne:f have
to see dark Russia rise, Or sink to
lower deeps, before we call this
Lenin wise, or damn his name for

subject OF an address last night at

by DR.. Frederick Juchoff, professor

advocates OF the plan have advanced

JAPAN LIKES

Message May Not, However

Masses of People

Toxic, May 27.-(By the A. P.)
The statement Of President Coolidge
accompanying his signature of the
American immigration bill, with its
clause excluding Japanese from that
country, was described by foreign
office spokesman today as "a source
of great comfort to Japan"
This spokesman said it is believed
the statement would be effective in
lessening to some degree agitation
against America here.
From the same source it was learn
ed here that officials here under
stood Mr.. Cooldgc's position and
appreciated the stand he took. 9th
ers said they feared the public ef-
feet of the statement would be small
as the masses Of the japanese, not
comprchending the niceties Of the
situation, would see only the fact
that they are excluded from the
United States which they consider a
national insult.

WHITE WAY"
is DISCUSSED
Commissioners Seek Solution
to Troublesome Problem

City commissioners. last night dis
cussed the white Way" system
The question Of what to do with
the Bismarcks system has been Il
puzzler for sometime. Most cities
have discarded the five-cluster light
system as used here, for rather plain
poles with one top light, both as be-
ing more artistic and more economi-
cal.
The present system here is expen-
sive to maintain. Small boys and
wind combine to destroy globes fire.
quently, the wiring is poor on many
of the circuits and the commission
.ers do not like to spend much money
on system now held obsolete.
1t was decided that the commits
sion would avail itself of the free
service of the General Electric Gem
pany to have an illuminating en-
gineer come to the city and go over
the system.
