d AIMS come from clouds, clouds
IN come from water vapor, water
vapor comes from evaporating mois-
ture. Where no water evaporateS,
there will be no clouds, no rain.
A mature white oak tree thirty
feet in diameter and forty feet high
evaporates into the air seven bar
rels Of water every day it carries
leaves.
Does that answer in part your
question OF the source of summer
rains that we need to mature our
crops? Does Athat explain why a
treeless wilderness is so deficient in
rainfall that it supports only a
hydro-autogenous life.
First we must cover the barren
slopes with forest or grass and
forest. That creates ground litter
to hold back the water. When We
hold back ground water. we raise
the water table under the soil. Gre
ate new springs, furnish an unend-
ing supply of water for our streams.
hold back silt and the stream be-
comes clear, makes it better to live
by and fish in.
More water, a more rapid growing
forest; better forest, more evenly
supplied water and the life cycle
begins.
A LII too frequently of late years
L \ We hear of the cloud bursting
rains that desolate the Mississippi
valley. Such events do not occur
in forest-protected country. I am
witness to a 29-inch 24-hour rain
in Central America that did not
raise the water in the Byana river
more than ten inches. The Jungle
held it back, otherwise there would
have been the usual Mississippi
river parade, housetopS floating out
to sea.
An evenly distributed water sup
ply through the medium of forests
gives an evenly distributed rainfall.
That means prosperity.
An evenly distributed forest
means evenly distributed forest
products and that again spells pros
perity.
The measure Of any civilization is
found in its wood-consuming ca
pacity
The fellaheen of Egypt, the man
power slaves Of the world, consume
three and one-half cubic feet of
food man year.
The per capita consumption of
wood in the United States per an
mum is a cube of wood measuring
six feet or ZIG cubic feet. From
the day we are born on a wooden
bed to the day we pass out in a
wooden box, our lives are circum-
scribed by forest products. Our rise
as a civilization can be traced in
our wood-consuming capacity.
INDIANA within the memory of
4 our present older generation,
produced its own forest products.
In 1882, despite the depression, she
imported $27,OO0,OOO of wooden
products. That was one-half the
total of state taxes; that was the
additional burden we shouldered to
pay for our timber butchering pro-
gram since 1850.
And the end is not yet-not by a
long shot We will have this bill
to pay to some other -produc-
ing state for years to come. or UNI
til we grow our own timber supply
again.
Like stream pollution, like fish
and game destruction, like soil ero-
sion, the depletion of our own tim
Der supply adds that other dollar

ID sula Bloom, contrasts the re-
pressions and conventions which
surrounded Victorian woman with
the freedom of the modern age. and
concludes that modern freedom is
all to the good
It tells its story. and gets over its
neatly contrived moral lesson. by
examining the lives of a mother and
her daughter.
The mother was brought up in an
English middle-claSs home in the
ninetieS-which seem to have been
anything but gay. She was shell
tered carefully, thoroughly represSed
and taught to make what will peo-
pie say?' the guiding principle OF
her life.
AS result, she was guided
straight into a marriage with a
worthless rake whose only redeem
ing features were that he came from
an excellent family and held a COM
mission in the guards. When, in
middle age, she became a widow. she
found that she had wasted her life.
Her daughter, growing up in the
modern era, found things different.
Far from bowling the knee TO con-
vention. she went off to live with a
young artist without benefit of
clergy. and managed to achieve a
satisfying existence thereby; so sat-
isfying. indeed, that her mother
when an admirer of her youth final
" swan back into her ken, gave up
her scruples and went to do likewise
Toward the end of the book you
feel that the author is twisting
things TO point her moral; but the
beginning. with its horrible picture OF
Victorian middle class domesticity
is truly excellent. Published by
Dutton. the book is priced at 81.

Police Decide to Let Judge Figure

The city of Indianapolis is IN
possession of an automobile valued
at approximately 50 and two per-
sons are under arrest as the re-
suit of an auto accident on Friday
night at Louisiana and East streets.
A light coupe driven by James
Nescell, 10, of 929 Daily street, hit a
utility pole. Nichols escaped in
jury, but the car was wrecked. Along
came Melvin Lifford. 81. Of SOL
Buchanan street, who offered So for
the remains.
James scratched his head dubious
ly and agreed. but didn't have a.
certificate of title. James told po-
lice he bought the car from another
man and the other man said he
didn't sell the car to James.
The police did a little head
scratching themselves and decided to
let the judge figure out the tangle.
They booked James for not having a
certificate of title or drivers Ii

SAVANTS MAKE
LIGHTNING BOLT
IN LABORATORY
Generate 5000, 900 Volts to
Create Flash From
Spheres.
BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripps- Howard Science Editor

1.-TWO shining metal spheres, each
Il fifteen feet in diameter. stand
upon the top of 24-foot posts in an
abandoned dirigible hangar at
Round Hill, Mass.
Periodically, an electric discharge,
to all intents and purposes a seq
ment of a lightning bolt, leaps be-
tween the two spheres with the
binding flash and reverberating
boom that one connects with a
lightning bolt.
When this happens, there are only
three safe places to be. One, OBJ
viously, is outside the hangar. The
other two, strange as it may seem,
are inside one or the other of the
two great spheres between which
the lightning leaps.
The layman, undoubtedly, would
prefer to be outside the hangar.
But scientists from the Massac hu-
sets institute of Technology have
demonstrated that it is perfectly all
I1Sllb w sway 1AlO1OC Vic 4lO11OM
spheres. They have fitted up the
interior of the spheres as laborato-
ries in which to make observations.
Develops 100000 Volts
The two great spheres are part of
the De CRAFT electrostatic genera
tor built upon the plans originated
by DR.. Robert j. Van De Graaff.
In preliminary tests, the device
has developed an electrical pressure
or potential of 100000 volts II
was expected that a pressure of 10,-
100000 volts would be developed, but
this figure was not reached.
DR.. Karl T. Compton, president OF
M. I. T, explains that this was due
to the leakage of the electrical
charge to the steel walls of the
hangar. These walls now are being
insulated, and it is expected that
the maximum figure will be reached
The laynan will be puzzled to I'M
derstand why, of all places, the in
teriors of the spheres between
which the lightning is leaping,
should be the safest places to be.
The answer is that electric charges
tend to stay upon the outside OF
metallic conductors.
Charge Outside of Spheres
All of the electric charges built
up by the De CRAFT generator are
on the outside of the two big
spheres. None of it gets through
to the inside.
The way in which the generator
works easily is understood, if we
keep in mind few facts about cleo
tricity.
One of the fundamental particles
out of which the atoms of matter
are composed is the electron, a par
ticle with a negative electrical
charge. An electric current is mere
ly a stream of electrons in motion.
In the De Graaff generator, NOV
ing silk belts against which brushes
press, are used to create the charges.
They are arranged so that one belt
creates an excess of electrons on one
sphere, while the other causes a
deficiency.

I PRESUME you often have heard

THAT fellow can tell every card you
hold after the second or third play
While that is not always true, lit
orally, the better player does try to
count a hand down.
When your partner makes a bid,
try to picture the hand. During the
play of the hand, don't count only
the trump-try to visualize the en-
tire hand, keeping track Of each
suit. You will be surprised, after
just a little practice, how easily this
can be accomplished.
I thought the following hand pre-
sented an interesting play due to the
fact that the declarer was able to
count the hand down.
South bid one heart. West made
a negative double, showing strength

two hearts. West passed, and
North went to four hearts, which
East wisely did not double.
At one table a club was opened
by West. The declarer won with the
queen and returned diamond.
West won with the ace and led a
small spade, This made it rather
simple for the declarer to make his
contract.
However, the interesting play came
up at the table which opened the
fourth best spade. East won with
the ace and returned the ten of
spades, which was won in dummy
