STATISTICS OF CENSUS
BUREAU SHOWS TIMBER
SUPPLY IS DW|NDuINC

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 81
That the nations forests on which so
many industries are dependent for
continued prosperity, are facing rapid
depletion, is again emphasized in sta
tistics compiled by the Census bureau.
The Census bureaus lumber pro-
duction statistics for 1924, showing an
output of 36 billion board feet, reveal
in part the extent to which Americas
virgin timber stands are being drained
to meet the nations requirements, /"
said w. B. Greeley, chief Of the For
est Service, United States Department
of Agriculture.
"The fact that nearly all important
industrial and agricultural regions are
consuming billions of feet Of virgin
timber from the south and far west
and growing but little on the forest
lands within their own boundaries is
far from reassuring to those interested
in forest conservation" continued
Greeley.
Figures compiled by the Forest
Service show that in 1928, when lum-
Der production reached its highest
point since the depression following
the World war, &c states produced less
lumber than they consumed. Prom
inent among these are the populous
states in the northern and eastern
sections of the country, where more
than 80 million acres, once heavily
timbered, now contribute but little to
th enation's lumber cut.
It is further pointed out that Cali
fornia, one Of the states still possess
sing large virgin forests, consumed
IN 1928 more than twice as much lum-
Der IS that state produced. Expressed
il figures, California imported nearly
three million board feet to meet rs
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-11-06

needs in 1923, the last year for which
lumber distribution figures are avail
able. Other states which imported
between one and two billion feet are
New York. Illinois, Michigan, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania. all Of which except
Illinois were once leading states in
lumber production.
%The drain in the nations timber
supply is a predominant domestic is
sue" said Mr.. Greedy, land the Amer
iean people must regard it as such
until the rate Of timber growth catches
up with the rate of consumption.
This drain is now believed to be four
times the regrowth. The solution is
plain--all forest land must grow tim
Der crops and further inroads upon
the country's virgin timber should not
result in icreasing the present vast
acreage Of idle forest land.

The Che7p
Tree
Where with eur Little Hatehet
we tell the truth about many
things. sometimes profoundly,
sometimes ilippantly.

Just across the street, through a
haze Of early snowfall, is an old
brick house, newly painted red. The
casual observer might look upon it
as a rather ordinary residence Of UNI
certain origin-built perhaps not SO
very long age, not 50 very interesting,
Of no particular moment.
But the building rests on 12-ihch
timbers. The door and window sills
are full six inches thick. The caves
are Of the type Of half century ago.
4 is an old house. Il stood during the
Civil War, and before. just Is Il Is
today.
There are stories told about this
house. From its basement down to a
.ravine = quarter Of e mile away there
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-11-06

This red brick house Is not pre-
tentious. Less than q mile away
from where it stands there is . great
mansion. II was built in the manner
of an English castle, by man who
has made much money. Il is pointed
out to visitors. It's magnificence is a
matter of town pride. Its well kept
grounds are admired. "There Is where
Colonel Blank lives" folks say. she
owns the Universal Steel Works"
In most places there is something
like this. We accept it,--all Of as. We
see what is easiest to see. We see
that which hurls itself at US. And
sometimes that which hurls itself ct
us, clamoring to be seen, has merit
and has a right to be seen.
But it is a good once in awhile to
have a look at the humber truths, the
humber verities, the humber beau
ties. The plain, red brick house, where
slaves found a helping hand and cour-
ageous hearts, is like something that
has run deeply and without noise
through the veins Of the nation since
the days of the Pilgrim Fathers. It
is a symbol of the faith and the pur-
pose at the roots of our American
life, always bringing us finally to
right determination. always holding
aloft the ideal of human freedom as,
above all, the Great American Pur-
pose.
1t is good, once in awhile, on 3
gray, reflective day, to have q look at
the old red brick house. with its great
timber foundations and its doorsills
that were built to last forever.

POSITIVELY, there's no understanding
i of woman. The case of Mrs. John Viii
hanson. at Sacramento, for illustration.
She gets n divorce because her John regis
tered at hotel and. under fictitious
name wrote notes asking for dates with
her.
Some women would have been outright
insulted by such notes. Others would have
been flattered by the evidence that they
were so good looking as TO promote such
desperate endeavor at closer acquaintance.
And Mrs. Williamson gets mad enough TO
take the broom to the household gods.
The case doesn't clear up understanding
of woman, not even when the woman is
fellows own wife.
So far as part understanding of woman
discloseS. it is fine policy to occasionally
tell wife how you worship her, even
when she has become plain and wrinkled
thru many years of welded life. and there
are women who would be just tickled most
to death TO discover that husband was
still so gay and enraptured as to want to
flirt at long range.

What You KnolC

ONE THOUSAND freshmen at the
" Pennsylvania State college this year
took a psychological test to determine
their general knowledge. They were re-
quired to answer $50 questions in 10
minutes.
Results were little surprising in view
of results college girls have been making
in scholarship competition with men.
The men students in this test made an
average score of 83.9 and women stu
dents 77.7.
Many men will seize this bit of infor-
nation as something that will give them
a good laugh. Let them-the laugh lately
has been so much on the side of the other
