They saw us, undoubtedly, and were possibly terrified of ghosts and visions. "But In mercy let them never know what we felt like."

Bier jewels, given her by her royal |0ver, are gone. Her clothes are In Hitters, and she is a living reminder Of the curse of the Hapsburgs. ; When the emperor died l» i916 he S" ft $250,000 to Katherina Schratt to ire for her in her declining years. But the ravages of war, and her many, gifts to those less fortunate, soon depleted this small fortune, until at last she was reduced to poverty. Once the beauty of the Austrian stage, petted and feted wherever she appeared, she now lives in a barren garret, dependent upon charity for her livelihood For 35 years, from the blooih of youth until middle age bent her shoulders, Katherina Schratt virtually ruled Austria through ber hold n Francis Joseph. For her he built a little villa right by the gatea of tlie royal palace, and there be spent much of his time, especially aft,er the events which tended to uphold the Hapsburg curse. The first manifestation of this curse came with the death of mad King Ludwlg of Bavaria, Francis Joseph's cousin, and of his brother, Maximilian, shot In Mexico. Then there was the case of Johann Orth, his nephew, who ran away to sea as a common sailor and was never heard from again. The death of the young daughter of Archduke Albrecht whose dress caught fire from a cigarette she was smoking, and that of the Duchess d'AIeneon in the charity ball fire In Paris, quickly followed. In 188$), Francis Joseph's son, Rudolph, committed suicide In Meyerllng, and nine years later his wife, Elizabeth, was assassinated at Geneva. Then, to crown his sorrows, came the tragic assassination of the heir to the throne, Archduke Ferdinand, at Sarajevo, the Incident that sturted the World war. Through all his troubles, the emperor clung to Katherina Schratt, but the Hapsburg curse has now descended upon her, and she has become a member of the bread Use In Vienna.

DWINDLING FORESTS ARE FORCING MUCH DECREASED USE OF LUMBER (Prepared by th* gtctee Seps.rts>«at of Agriculture.) If the iood consumed by each man, womui, and child were reduced by one-third, the pinch of hunger would soon be felt and the cry of famine undoubtedly raised. Yet substitute the word "wood" for "food" and you have exactly what has happened in the use of lumber. The per capita consumption has dropped from 500 board feet In 1900 to 316 board feet in 1900, says the forest service. United States Department of Agriculture. This decreasing' use of a fundamental commodity, according to forest experts, Is not a result of decreasing needs but a result of forest exhaustion. It is not being accomplished without Economic hardship or without curtailment of Industrial expansion. It is not ». temporary condition that will automatically adjust Itself, for even at this reduced rate of consumption we are still cutting our forests more than four times as fast as they grow. The situation proclaims, according to the forest service, that If we are to remain a nation of timber nsers, we roust become ft nation of timber growers. •« Reached Highest Point in 1906. . In 1906, when American lumber production reached its highest point, the average per capita consumption of lumber in the United States was approximately 500 board feet. Since that time the per capita consumption has is plentiful and the pvpu'fitipn is r^Iatlvely small. In Washington and Oregon the consumption appears to be between 900 and 1,000 board feet an* nually per person. Next come California, Montana, Ida* ho, and Wyoming, where the rate o< consumption is from 500 to 800 feet per person annually. In these states timber Is relatively plentiful as conn pared with the ders'fv of the popular tion, and a very considerable expansion has been taking place in the development of farma and other natural resources. The group next lower In per capita consumption Includes the Lake states, and sweeps southwesterly across the prairie states through Colorado, New Mexico, and Ariaona. In this group the annual consumption is between 800 and 600 feet, board measure. Use Less Than 300 Feet • Practically all the remaining states fall Into a class In which the annual consumption is 200 to 300 feet This group extends In a broad belt from Texas along the southern and eastern Atlantic coast to Cape Cod, Mass. It also ijftcludes North Dakota, Iowa, Utah, and Nevada. The lowest consumption of all Is In Rhode Island, the District of Columbia, South Carolina, and Georgia, In which the average consumption Is rated between 100 and 200 feet per year. In the District of Columbia there Is an extreme situation in density of popula- Tha Exhaustion of Our Timber Supply0is Coming About Because We Have Failed te Uae Our Timber*Growing Land. rapidly and consistently decreased until In 1920 the average citizen used approximately 316 board feet This Is a reduction of 37 per cent In 13 years, or nearly 3 per cent a year. Should this decrease continue at Its present rate, by 1940 the downward sweep of consumption would approach zero. 'This, of course, will not happen. The average consumption will ultimately reach a fairly stable level, which will depend mainly upon the extent to which our devastated forests are made again productive. The consumption of lumber Is not evenly distributed. Previous studies Indicated that the states of the Pacific -Northwest, now the last great stronghold of big lumbering operations, had a much higher per capita consumption than those of other regions, but the present figures are the first to give Information for all states upon the same basis. Naturally the greatest per capita consumption occurs where wood tion. No lumber Is produced, there la little farming or manufacturing, and the entire population consists of urban dwellers In the city of Washington who live mainly in houses of brick and stone and require relatively little lum. ber. All the lumber used In the District of Columbia Is Imported from other states, just as It is In some of the non-timbered prairie states. In general, the older and more dens^ ly settled states show the lowest aver* age consumption. The states chara<v terized by heavy agricultural opera* tions come next, and the greatest use per Individual Is indicated In those states where there is still considerable timber and where the extension of heme building is proceeding at a rapid rate, using the abundant material pro vided by the forests. The states are. going through an evolutionary process, building first of lumber and later of more costly materials as the forests recede before fire and axe. «*• I • • • • I Seed Corn Tips There should be a free circulation of air around the ears while they are drying. Corn should not be dried In the direct sunlight Poorly dried corn will be much lower in germination. Artificial heat or kiln drying quickly expels the excess moisture from the ears and prevents injury by freezing. Klln-drled seed corn has the greater vigor and vitality. Do not overheat the corn while It Is moist Partially dried corn should not be exposed to zero weather. After drying, corn should be stored In a dry room which Is free from rats and mice.--R. A.

There are numerous reasons why the first calf from a heifer may be more va.uable than succeeding calves, and one of these reasons Is that the sole duties of a heifer are to grow and nourish her first-born, while her duties o* future years include the production of milk and butterfat and these take toll from her and the food she receives in proportion to the magnitude gf hpr production. • PUREBRED MAKES BEST GWH MATERIAL FOR ROAD MAKING First Shipment of Surplus Army Equipment U«d in Germany Arrive* at Brooklyn.
