The drys are defeated. Prohibi-

problem is to deal with the subject

states that want it, should have It.

World Easily Forgets '@
Those It Called Great

When Jane Austen was left in charge
Of her sisters garden, she wrote aft
er some weeks: II will not say your
mulberry trees are dead, but I am
afraid that they are not alive" Some
thing Of the same sort might be said
Of the contemporary reputation OF
George Sand, notes Elizabeth Drew in
her Letters Of George Sand" 1t is
the fate Of pioneers for freedom to be
forgotten when liberties have been
won; it is the fate Of "best sellers"
to be ephemeral; and 1t was as a pio-
neer in the cause Of the emancipation
of women and as writer Of some OF
the most popular novels Of her age,
that George Sand made her reputa-
ton. In her own day her ideas and
her work were as well known as her
affairs Of the heart. Nowadays no one
reads her novels or bothers about her
ideas, while her sole claim to popular
fame Is the number Of her lovers, and
the stories of her discussed liai-
sons with Alfred de Musset and with
Chopin.

Movement to Preserve
Forests Traced to 1873

Following the Civil war settlements
sprang up throughout the West. Wood
in greater and greater quantities was
needed and louder than before the
note of alarm was sounded. We were
using up and burning up our timber
with frightful rapidity. From Europe
scholars were returning, says Forest
and Mankind. They told how France,
Germany, and other countries were
able to have the penny and the cake
both; how they were able to cut tim
Der from their forests year after year
and still have increasing quantities.
In 1873 a committee Of forestry Of
the American Association for the Adj
vancement Of Science presented a re-
port to congress stressing the impor.
lance of preserving our forests and in
answer to this the first significant
step forward was made by the fed
eral government. 1t appointed for
est agent to investigate conditions.
Later this position expanded and
grew into the division Of forestry.
