Washington, May 1f.-Women are
slowly and surely advancing on the
goal of public Office.
Since 1925 women Office holders
have increased about 124 per cent.
in the United States.
These figures are estimated from
survey made by the National
League Of Women Voters in Mime

Washington, Kansas and Wisconsin.
The figures show that women are
invading the field of county and
municipal Office most rapidly.
And they are not being content
with the more logical careers of
school superintendent, county clerk,

 While on my trip down the Yukon I found many prospects worthy of in- vestigation. There is much tin in the Ruby district as we'll as on Seward peninsula. I am sure the day is not very far off when tin from Alaska will supply the market in the States.

Our soldiers in France, a few years
ago, were astounded to see the French
grandmothers bent wearily under the
burden Of great bundles of twigs and
branches, gathered carefully from
nearby timber stands. We Americans
would scorn to use these for fuel; yet,
if we go on as we have been doing,
that is about what we shall come to.
In the near east, practically no forests
exist today; the famed Cedars of
Lebanon are no more. Cut and burned,
devastated by wars, no provision was
made for replacing them. China, with
population of uncounted millions, is
practically Nforestless. Without the
protection of interlacing tree roots,
its hillsides are eroding and washing
away, leaving thousands of acres of
once-valuable land barren waste.
While Americans would doubtless
never permit things to reach such a
pass, we are faced with the necessity
of thinking of the future. Forests
should be considered crop, the same
as wheat or cotton, and provision
should. be made for an annual harvest
of this crop. Our 81,000,000 acres OF
waste forest land should be put to
work growing our great-grandchild-
ren's timber crop, before it is too late.

cans definitely aim at goal, they al
