This years figure of $27, $50 in
cludes the following funds: bonds
and interest $4,910; library $4,000;
firemen $500; sewer 5000; park
$1,000; road and bridge $4,000
and common $4,000. The usual
one mill tax for the city band was
levied.
The rise in the bond and inter-
est fund is due to the fact that
liquor store profits, usually used
for bond retirement, were ear
marked for the coming water
works improvements.
Sewage appropriations have
been raised $3.50 because of an in
crease in salary of an employee
of the department and the park
fund was raised $500, as part of
the funds are earmarked for the
athletic field.
Resealing of black-top road
surfacing made road and bridge
funds a little short last year so
this year they were raised 81 900.
The common fund remains the
same.

1t is sort Of Congress Of trees

all the National Forests and there
fore not all of the citizens lot Is
covered with trees. There is some
brush land, called chaparral in the
West, on it. 1t may not seem to be
Of value but it is. It holds the soil
on hillsides and keeps it from wash
ing away. There is only grass on
certain portions of some of the Ma
tional Forests and so part Of the lot
should have this sort of covering.
Again there are bare rocks cropping
out here and there. And there are
streams babbling merrily and the
CLINT of a wooded lake. All Of which
make up that typical bit Of the United
States National Forest which belongs

But the timber-bearing land that
Is in the National Forests and there
fore belongs to the general public, it
should be borne in mind is hut n
small proportion Of the area of the
Nation which is given over to the
growing of trees. For every such
acre that is in the ownership Of the
Government there are four or five
acres outside that are the property
Of lumber companies or private in

the day. produces IS per cent Of all
accidents.
In 1886 $4,000 people were killed in
traffic accidents after dark. Four
times as many cars killed only $4,000
during daylight hours, which leads to
the conclusion that night driving is
six to ten times as dangerous as day
driving.
A slight recession exists in the au-
tomobile industry today, figures OF the
Department Of Commerce show. The
manufacturers, however, are hoping
that this will be of short duration.
Factory sales of automobiles manu-
factured in the United States (in-
cluding foreign assemblies from parts
made in the United States and re-
ported as complete units or vehicles)
for November, 1887, consisted of $780,
063 vehicles. of which 295,32s were
passenger cars and 64,735 were trucks,
as compared with 329,876 vehicles in
October, 1897; 394,987 vehicles in No.
vember, 1896, and 395,O59 vehicles
IN November, 1885. These statistics,
comprising data for the entire indus
try, were released by Director William
L. Austin, Bureau of the Census, De-
partment of Commerce.
Sales executives of the various mo-
tor car manufacturing companies are
no longer specializing on the possi-
bility of curtailment of consumer
demand in February or March, accord
ing to an Associated Press dispatch
from Detroit. Most of them are con-
vinced that whatever lag might other
wise have been looked for is being alb
sorbed in the current recession.
The conjecture was based princi-
pally upon the fact that new models
were brought out again this year ear
lier than had been the industrys GUS
tom up until 1885. When the makers
OF motor vehicles decided to introduce
their new models in the fall instead
of in January. many producers looked
upon the practice with some misgiv-
ings. They claimed that whatever de-
mand was developed in November
would be borrowed from February and

THE next tree personality to apply

predicted consumer curtailment failed
to materialize because Of the far
reaching strikes that cut factory out

schedules. Now, with the current
slowing down, the coming spring
months again will not offer an oppor-
tunity for a test on the question Of
whether November new models borrow
anything from the heretofore active
spring market.
Executives of the motor car industry,
both in the production and distribu-
ton division. believe the streets and
highways Of the Nation have space
for many more millions of automo-
biles, the Associated Press dispatch
continues. The answer to the problem
of safety they believe, emphatically is
not in fewer vehicles, but in more
common sense in their operation.
The problem of reducing traffic ia
talities is being given as much atten-
ton by the motor car industry itself
as it is by non-affiliated safety Or
CARNATIONS, local, State and Federal
agencies.
Aside from the matter of driver
qualifications. the industry's safety Or
ganization also favors more definite
and full enforcement of traffic laws.
1t has numerous other points in its
safety program, but these two appear
basic and the industry's manufacture
ers and distributors do not believe the
volume of cars on the highway is a
major factor in the number of acci-
dents, fatal or otherwise, that occur
each year.
Figures compiled by the Automobile
Manufacturers Association indicate
the present total of cars and trucks
under registration in the various States
is close to 28,500,000. Without mate

struction and Repair.
In 1908 Marks, already q dominant
figure in the rubber industry because
Of his scientific contributions to manu-
featuring processes, had said yes to
that other British proposal, and by his
answer gave America the cord tire
which had been pioneered in Eng

British brainchild into . boon for the
American people. Now in the winter

Another decision.
WITH an expert from the Bureau Of
Mines and another from the
Navy Department Marks weighed the
representations of the British ENJOYS,
pored over dusty reports from the
Government files and within 48 hours
had recommended the intensive devel-
opment Of the helium resources by our
Government. Also, in this short time
the sum Of $750000 was obtained and
the task Of helium recovery was turned
over to the Bureau of Mines.
Although no helium was produced
in time for use in the World War, to-
day the Government operates the huge
helium- producing plant at Amarillo,
capable Of turning out ~ 900, 900 cubic
feet Of helium q year. It Is estimated
that the Amarillo field has enough
helium to last 5000 years at the pres
ent rate Of consumption.
Graded in war setting, helium first
commanded attention for its useful
ness to aviation, rs q means of pre-
venting such tragedies Is the Hinden-
burg explosion. Other uses have since
been demonstrated. Recent research
has shown it Is invaluable In the treat

Napoleon Napoleon IT'D. He became
general Of the federal army in l847
and dealt skillfully with the revolt
Of the Catholic cantons. Later, in the
fight with the Prussians over Neu-
chatel, he headed the republican
army and was sent to Paris to ask
Napoleon III to mediate. He wrote
several books on military science.

Swiss history was that Of mediator at

bring both sides to reason, and the
compact Of Stans resulted.
"Dufour's portrait appears on the
