five colored men are implicated
in a murder that Hutsol says
was a mercy killing of his semi
invalid wife. They were arrested
after police got a signed state

the way. On a previous attempt
to have his wife slain Hutsol was
fleeced out of eighty dollars by
Sonny Harrison who reported
the job done, although he had

EXTRA SKIN FOOD
By NINA TEMPLE

If your skin is beginning to
signs of wear and tear, it is
time for you to begin using an
extra good skin food, which, if
gently massaged into the face
each night will fill in all the
hollows as well as smooth out
wrinkles. Both ingredients in the
following food are good but
used together they are doubIy
good. Make 1t by mixing a half
portion each of mutton suet and
almond oilthen add few drops
of good perfume. Presto-youIl

panies, and 40 per cent by farm
ers. Since the beginning of the
Goth century, companies have not
been allowed to acquire forest
property in Norrland, not even for
the purpose of obtaining increased
efficiency rough combining
small lots into one unit. Neither
can a new company acquire its
own land. In order to do so, it
must purchase an existing COM
pany. In recent years the COM
panies have started selling land
to the farmers In this way an
attempt is made to guarantee a
supply of local labor for telling
and hauling, and at the same time
to increase foodstuff production
in the province.
The Golden Age of the Steam Saw
Came and Went
Towards the end of the 10th
century the quantities of timber
sawn probably amounted to 3-400
standards per annum, which cor
responds to less than one-tenth of
the output of a small export saw
mill nowadays. It was not until
the 18th century that larger and
better water-driven saws began
to be built, and this led to in
creased exports. Exports of tar
and pitch, however, were for
long time more important. During
the 10th century they reached a
larger volume than ever before
1t is estimated that during the pc
riod 1S36-1905 Norrland exported
annually an average of 10000 bar
rels of tar, representing a con-
sumption of 24O-3OO,OOO fully
grown pine trees.
The first steam saw was built
in 1S49, at Tunadal on the coast
north of Sundsvall, and thus start
ed tn revolution of Norrland.
During the latter part of the 10th
century saw after saw sprang up
around certain centers, the most
important being the Sundsvall
district. Near Sundsvall the great
rivers Indal and Ljungan dis
charge into the sea. After the
Franco-Prussian war, in 1901,
came the great rush, which lasted
for about 20 years. The demand
for sawn goods both within the
country and, above all, from
abroad rose enormously. Exports.
which totaled only 100000 stand
ards as late as the 1S5Os, now in
creased to about one million. The
great era of the saw mills lasted
until the turn of the century. 1t
was succeeded by a period of con-
tinuous, sometimes disastrous, de-
cline.
AT the same time however, the
first pulp plants were established:
the cellulose industry made it's en-
try. 1t soon proved necessary for
the saw mills not only to stream
line their operations, but to COM
bine them with the production of
cellulose. But this required a
large capital, and not all the old
saw mills could raise it. Those
who did not succeed, and failed to
rationalize, sooner or later died.
In later years even more modern
methods have been introduced, in
Guiding the use of transportable
circular saws at the Telling places.
Nevertheless, from 1929 to 1886
the volume of production in the
saw mill industry decreased by
about las per cent. More recent

have taken up new forms of pro-

There are many indications that
new era, in which research will
revolutioniZe the industrial eX-
ploitation of woo d, has started.
Since 1870 it has been possible to
use wood as a fiber material, but
the watchword for the future
seems to be: the use of wood as
a chemical raw material. The i'm
portance of scientific research to
the Swedish forest products in
dustry is now generally recog-
nized. In 1912 the leading forest
industry concerns established a
Foundation for wood-products re-
search, the function of which is
to allocate the funds contributed
for this purpose. The principal
beneficiaries will be the labora-
tories maintained by the concerns
themselves and the Swedish Wood
Research Institute, created and
administered jointly by the State
and the industry This Institute.
which is being built as part of
the Institute of Technology in

tablishment for scientific research
in the country.
The Future of the Forest
When during the war imports
of coal and coke from abroad were
reduced to a fraction of their pre-
vious volume, finally ceasing al
together, the forest was a friend
in need. 1t gave warmth to homes.
and it provided fuel for the fac
tories. Gasoline also was unob-
tainable, but thanks to the forest
motor transport could be main
tanned with producer-gas. Under
such conditions it might very well
be asked if the Norrland forests
have been too heavily taxed. Are
the stocks still adequate?
The latest findings are not en-
tirely reassuring, but there is lit
tie ground for alarm It is main
ly the larger dimensions of trees,
those used by the saw mills. which
have been thinned. The heavy
Telling for fuel requirements OF
the war years has to great eX-
tent served the purpose of much
needed thinning, which is essen
tial for healthy new growth.

bag paper, many kinds of board
greaseproof, tissue. The bleached
sulphate pulp is used for the pro-
duction of writing paper, printing
paper, bag paper, blotting paper,
and nitrocellulose: the unbleached
sulphate for wrapping paper, pa
per sacks, bag paper, cable paper,
and cardboard boxes. Mechanical
pulp is used for producing news
print paper, wallpaper, pasteboard,
bag paper, and papier mache.
The high quality of Swedish eel
lulose is largely due to the con-
tinuous supervision exercised dur
ing the production, but in the first
place to the fact that the trees
have grown slowly, with close an
nual rings and long fibers. Norr-
land pines and spruces have a
long growing period-120, $50 or
200 years.
In round figures two-thirds of
the Swedish pulp output are eX-
ported, while a good quarter is
used in the domestic paper indus
try. This in it's turn exports APP
proXimately two-thirds of it's pa
per and cardboard production, one
third being retained for home use.
In 1887 Sweden exported no less
than 100000 tons of sulphite Gel
lulose and 1900 tons of sulphate
cellulose. The United States was
the largest purchaser, buying 81
per cent of the sulphite and So
per cent of the sulphate pulp pro-
duced. Great Britain was second,
with respectively 10 and IA per
cent. Of mechanical pulp $4,000
tons We're produced. Almost half
of this was exported, about two
thirds of these exports going to
Britain. Sweden, or rather Norr-
land, has long been the worlds
leading exporter of wood pulp.
Forest Products Account for As
Per Cent of Sweden's Exports
During the years before the
war Sweden supplied about II per
cent of the world requirements of
wood goods, or $4,000 standards.
Great Britain and Ireland, by far
the largest purchasers, took more
than half of these shipments Con-
siderable quantities went to Den
mark, Holland any and
France, and among the countries
outside Europe, South Africa and
Australia were the principal i'm
porters of Swedish wood goods.
Swedish wallboard has also won
reputation for good quality In
1889 production had increased to
100000 tons. Most of the mills
are olcated in Norrland, where the
waste from the saw mills, the
main raw material, is easily OBJ
tainable.
In 1887 Swedish exports of for
est products lumber, pulp, paper.
cardboard and wallboard, etc.
amounted to s35 million kronor
(S20s millions), or rs per cent of
the total value of Sweden's eX-
ports. Similar percentages for
forest products have been main
tanned ever since 1870.
Only about half of the log is at
present turned into paper prod
ucts. The other half goes into the
pulp cooking I've. which is used
to dissolve the wood into fiber.
This I've is not completely lost.

covered is liquid resin, within the

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, June 15.-(P-Cot-
ton futures were strong today. al
though dealings were quiet. De-
mand was generated by increasing
belief that price control curbs will
be greatly modified which in turn
will result in higher prices for raw
cotton. An additional stimulus, how
ever, was news from the cotton belt
that mills were bidding for spot
cotton and that offerings we're linn
tied. Prices for low quality cotton
also were advanced, tending to
emphasize spinners' interest to ac-
cumulate raw supplies to cover
forward commitments.
The market closed 40 to 80 cents
a bale higher after showing gains
OF as much as S1.00 a bale.
Thlnness of the market caused
rather widespread price swings be-
tween individual transactions which
at times amounted to so cents a
bale.
According to private advices,
domestic mill consumption Of all
cotton during may appears to have
oeea the largest than in any prev.
lous month since March, 1874. The
census bureau will issue a report
on the use of cotton during May on
