Summers Extension.

Indian summer Is name applied
to q short season Of pleasant weather
which occurs in the Central and At.
lantic coast states usually during the
months of October and November, hut
more rarely in December. Indian sum.
mer is characterized by an almost
cloudless sky, calm or light air, hazy
atmosphere, and mild temperature
in the daytime although cool at night.
This period may last two or three
weeks and may occur two or three
times during a season. The theory has
been advanced that early settlers may
have given the bright warm days Of
autumn the name of Indian summer
because 1t was as gaudy as the In
dams in their war paints. Another
idea is THAT at this season the Indians
often went to war because the bright
autumn colors served as camouflage
for them. There Is no actual record
Of the use of the term until Eta.

out the Atlantic states.

The United States uses more wood
per capita than. any nation In the
world. More than two-thirds Of the
S22,OOOOOO acres contained In the
country's original forests have been
culled, cut over or destroyed by fire.
About 26,OOO,OOO,O00 cubic feet OF ma

every year for all purposes, while only
about e.OO0,OOO,000 feet are growing
anew in them. All kinds Of trees are

Since 1909 the United States has
used more wood pulp than it has pro-

supply is being imported from Canada.
