PRIVATE FORESTRY GAINING
GROUND, SAYS CHIEF
FORESTER

Private forest landowners are
becoming interested in the possibil-
tiles of forest management to a
greater degree than ever before,
says Col. William B. Greeley,
Chief Forester, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in his an
nual report, copies of which have
been received by District. Forester
C. NJ. Granger, Portland, Oregon.
Private forestry is the main sub
iect for discussion at the forthcom-
ing meeting, December 1917, of
the Society of American FOresters,
in San Francisco. The principle
of sustained yield of timber as a
working business policy is being
given increasingly wider consider
alton by the forest industries and
timberland owners, the Forester
finds. Under this principle only as
much timber is cut yearly from a
given unit of forest land as the
land is replacing through growth,
so that an industry dependent up
on the timber supply of this land
eau he permanently maintained.
Sustained yield", says Col.
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1927-12-16

Greeley, is, of course, the under
lying idea and essential aim of III
forestry. We shall not have solved
our national problem until the
country as a whole is on a sustain
ed-yield basis, with timber produc-
ton balancing current use. To the
individual lumber or paper OIL
other forest industry the sustained
yield conception offers the most
rational basis for stabilizing an en-
terprise throughout. If the forest
industries of the west, where large
quantities of virgin timber are still
available, could forthwith be plac-
ed on a sustained-yield basis, the
current output of forest products
would not be materially curtailed
but expansion would be held down
ovorproduction would be cured al
its source, and a rational stability
would be introduced into all phases
of industrial planning. There is
no question that such develop
ment would be in the public in
icrest through conserving and ex-
tending the period Of use of the re-
naming virgin timber"
To date, the net gains in private
forestry practice still fall far short
If providing for the future produc-
tivity of the 100000 acres Of

forest land in industrial ownership
The area of cut-oyer land left in
poor productive condition is still
enlarging, though probably at a
substantially lower rate than ten
years ago. The current growth of
timber probably is increasing in re-
spouse particularly to the expand
ing protection of cut-over lands
from forest fires, but still is far
short of replacing the current
train upon the forests.
Among the difficulties which
stand in the way of private for
estry practice, according to Col.
Greeley, are the current depression
in the lumber markets, the finan-
cial obligations imposed by exist
ing investments in plants or timber
lands, the uncertainty as to the
future course of taxation of mer-
charitable timber and Young
Growth, and the burden of raw
material wastes still carried by
most forest industries.

Shoppers Drive Into
Stores; Air Condi-
ton Controlled

Housewives in many cities may
now shop for everything from dry
goods to groceries and meats with
out leaving the steering wheel Of
the family car.
This has been made possible by
recent advices ia the science Of
made-to-order weather and the de-
velopment Of an ingenious new type
OF grocery and department store
known as the "Auromarket.- There
is no need to fear carbon monoxide
or poor air conditions, as powerful
v%entilatirg fans, similar to those
used in any efficiently managed
public school or theater, change the
air every minute. Initiated air Is me-
chanically exhausted ard a new sup
ply brought in and washed or fill
tered before il is distributed TO ali
parts Of the building.
When the shopper reaches the
Automarket, she drives through the
right door OF the store, circles
around at her pleasure on special
elsles lined on each side with coun-
tiers Of merchandise displayed on
revolving shelves. buys what she
wants and drives out through an
other door when she is through. Be-
sides solving the parking problem in
congested cities, the system has the
further advantage Of bringing pro-
Queer and u directly to-
gether, its proponents assert. And
cumbersome bundles thus may be
tossed directly into the car and TAX
en- home.
Enterprising merchants in many
cities, however, have introduced va
rious methods TO facilitate shopping.
Seine offer free parking service IN
large public garages near their
stores. Others employ special driv-
ers to park car for women shoppers.
Many other make shopping con-
ditions within their stores as at
tractive as possible to meet COM
petitive conditions.
Managers of important chain
store systems are emphasizing the
box office appeal Of comfortable and
healthful air conditions in stores
because American are con-
scious Of good air as never before.
They have found that there is a di-
relation between volume of
sales, efficiency Of employees, the
attitude OF the public and air con-
ditions. Initiated air with dis
agreeable odors must be carried out
and a new supply of clean, humidi-
fled air pumped in. That's why pro-
gressive merchants are using cool
ing systems as much as theatres for
the warm seasons. They have found
that the ventialting fan can be trans
llted into terms Of the sales slip and
the cash register, the merchandising
experts declare.

Mouth Organs Played
In School Orchestras

Berlin R)-Mouth organ orches-
tras conducted by accredited
teachers Of music are the latest
addition 10 the curricula Of Berlin
schools.
The Prussian ministry Of edu-
cation recently issued instructions
to school principals to encourage not
only singing but also instrumental
instruction. Accordingly, in many
public schools orchestras were
formed, varying from jazz bands to
juvenile symphony aggregations.
In the poorer Industrial sections Of
Berlin and other cities. the only in
struments which the working classes
could afford were the mouth organs.
One Of the city teachers Of music
with a social outlook decided TO

was at first laughed at by his col

music out of his first mouth organ

CAR SETS new
FOREIGN MARK
WHY'S Travels
Long Way Over
Mountain Trail

From fsr-off Sumatra comes the
details of one Of the NEST remark
able endurance and reliability tests
ever undergone by q motor car in
that mountainous section Of the
world. This test was made by q
Willys-Knight Great Six Roadster in
a 1000 mile journey, N portion of
which was over the famous Bilege
road, admittedly the most irregular
and difficult highway in the world.
for a given distance.
Because Of the nature OF the roads
travelled no attempt was made to
establish a speed record. the sole
purpose being to show the unusual
endurance OF the Willys-Knight
Great Six under the most severe
conditions. However, the car ira
versed the route in SO hours, "a
minutes, the starting point being
Koeta Radja with the finish al Pa
dang.
Not for an instant during the
gTuelling test was the knight sleeve
valve engine permitted 70 stop, this
being one Of the test the car was
subjected to.
During a portion Of the trip from
AO~NA0 4hG4k4 10 4CQaH a distance
Of 240 miles, a speed of "a. miles an
hour was maintained. This portion
OF the trip was covered in the fast
est time ever made by any motor car
between these two points.
From Medan the Great Six made
the start for the West Coast, $50
kilos away. From Mswan to Siansa-.
the Willys-knight established an
other time record.
Adverse conditions were
tered as the party left Siantar. The
roadster fought its way through q
heavy storm and eventually crossed
the border from the East Coast Res
idency into Tapanoeli Residency,
thence on to Balige and Ta~roetoeng.
On into the night the Willys-Knight
continued over the steep mountain
grades which rise abruptly from
table lands.
II was during the first as miles Of
the district from Balige that travel
ing became most perilous. This road,
it is estimated has no less than
1000 reverse hair-pin turns in that
distance, requiring unusual care to
avert an accident.
Entering the mountains the party
again met a terrific storm. But on
ward travelled the Willys-Knight
eve the slippery clay roadway. At
many points huge precipices close to
the edge Of the narrow highways al
ways held a threat Of death-points
where a sideslip would have meant
disaster.
During practically the entire por-
ton Of the night trip the drivers
were forced almost 20 pick their way

Yer travelling owe thousands Of miles
Of the ~trackless wilds Of Central
australia through a region seldom
visited by white men. the Reso expe-
dition that started out early this
summer has returned to civilization
with thrilling accounts Of a great
country almost as new to the world
as the icy wastes of the Antarctic
continent or the juugles Of the ANA
con region.
The Reso expedition was the larg-
est party to ever undertake 20 pene-
trate far into the interior Of the con
tinent and has been the subject Of
keen intererest for months. II was
composed of prominent scientists,
doctors, business men, lawyers, news
paper men and sheep ranchers. The
trip was made 70 stimulate interest
In the devopment of the hundreds
Of thousands Of square miles in the
Interior and was sponsored by the
Victorian Railways.
The expedition was unique II that
u was the first attempt by such a
large party TO explore a wild and I'M
marked country with automobiles
and trucks. The only other notable
instances Of extensive explorations
with motor cars are the trips Of DR..

erican Museum Of Natural History
into the interior Of the Mongolian
wilds. Oh each Of which he used
Dodge Brothers cars.
The Victorian Railways Commits
sion adopted DR.. Andrews method Of
travel and selected Dodge Brothers
cars and Graham Brothers trucks.
II. W. Knapp, chairman of the Rail
ways Commission, stated to news
paper men before starting hat eX-
tensive inquiries had been made from
experts on transport in the interior
TO ascertain the most suitable car
TO use. He said that in view of the
great responsibility Of taking so
large a party into an area where
there are known to be many hazards
In operating cars, the commissioners
felt il incumbent upon them TO util-
ize not only a car generally regard
cd as suited TO such transport, but
also n that had been used success
fully in the interior. These consid-
erations, he said. inspired the COM
missioners 10 use Dodge Brothers
cars and Graham Brothers trucks.
Eighteen Dodge Bothers ears were
used on the trip and throughout the
thousands Of miles Of ough, noun

leys between the mountain ranges
not one car developed any trouble.
Hundreds OF miles were travelled
over country never marked by roads
or trails.
This great area in Central Aus

report, will some day be transformed
into perhaps as great an agricultural
region as there is in the world today
although they agree that il will be
many years before the frontiers OF
