JSZOW^-OK^ZAMP V By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN HE center of the lihnber Industry •^X^ithin Jhe lifetime of many persons now living, has moved from fiew England, to Pennsylvania, to, the Lake states, to the Gulf states. * The Southern Pine association now reports that within eight year* 3,000 big sawmills will be jtiufcfcd and that the output will be reduced 50 per cent. That leaves US the virgin, forests of the Pacific roust. Already the Pacific coast lunjber, with a 2,000 or 8.000 mile haul. Is to be found in thev larger cities of the East. So the lumber industry1 has made its last jump. The United States Bureau of Corporations .gives ns< sixty years to use' •*" up all the log lumber at the present rate of consumption. v ' When the Pacific coast lumber begins to rttn<» short, we can import lumber or we can do without it. If we don't like either of these alternatives; we can grow some more timber and pulp wood and cooperage and box stuff and trees to yield turpen- - tine and resin and tannic and acetic acid and woo# alcohol and airplane propellers and lend pencils; and clothes pins and ax handles and such things which come from the forests and nowhere else. ' Whenever we get ready we can grow all the [timber we want. Growing timber Is a simple affair-- If we go at it right. We can put It another way and say that originally there were 800,000,000 acre* of virgin for- ": ests in the United States. There are now only 200,000,000 acres, or 25 per cent of this. left. The 1 '600.0Q0.000 acres that are gone were depleted Hi „ the last seventy years. ( j ;. Unless something is done about It the United* - States will some time be a treeless land--its vast original forests laid low; those of its lndustri«t'„_ which depend upon timber-for their existence, crippled or broken. There are healthy signs that a good many pe»-' / pie are of the opinion that something should ha j; : done about it. And one of the things to be done about it would seem to be a practical and comprehensive policy oi reforestation. All interests seem to agree on the necessity of reforestation*. ' There are now two reforestation4 bills before congress. One of these Is the Capper bill an-1 the other is the Snell billy The fofiner dims at federal encouragement of state action. The latter provides federal regulation of forestry in the states and proposes for the next five years to i^jcrease the government's appropriation for forestry to $1<V* t>00,000 ft year. I Another indication of the general feeling that* something should be done about it is the hearing^ held in various parts of the country by a "national \ forestry policy committee" appointed by the United States Chamber of Commerce. This com?,, .tuittee began operations in New York. It their went In succession to Chicago, Minneapolis, Spa* kane, Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. Ibtvid L.

If exempt certain timber lands from taxation, as „ they have seen wisp to do in some of the older «- ^countries, It will encourage the seeding of that land to timber.- As it now stands millions of acres that might, and really should,'be yielding timber, "are sown to other products and bringing a niggardly return. " r' "This is dimply because this Is timber land and .timber should be on it. The farmers, however, consider that since it is taxed they must sow sometfcese four states enough forest land to supply la full the needs of these industries now stands Idle." Concerning the general situation he says,: •We are cutting our timber probably four times U; fast as tlmlter Is being grown. It Is useless to deerf the generous use which American Industry has made of our forests. It has contributed powerfully to the industrial development and commercial supremacy of the United States. The forestry problem does not result from the.liberal use of our forests, but from our fnllure Rv use our forest-growing land. There is an antpleStrai of land In this country, which Is not tillable, toSsmv port all of our timber requirements, all of ou wood manufactures, all of fair home building and agricultural use of lumber, indeed an even larger export trade than at present, if that land cau be lone. "We have in the United States 81,000,000 acres , f»f what is called denuded land, and more than 400.000,000 acres of what we call cytover landl ^ Denuded land is land on which forest fires have t>ecurred and where the fire has eaten Its way so deep into the soil as to destroy the seedlings that plight spring up. "Cutover land Is land from which timber has !/1»een taken and on which a second growth Is possible and often times springs up. Such laud will make forests in a period of some forty years if it Is taken care of. Taking care of such land is another phase of the forestry problem." The National Forests, created in 1905, now cOD-r „tain 155,000,000 acres of forest -and grazing land. • They are managed by the forest serylee. a bureau *>f the agriculture department. Col.'w. B. Greeley Is forester. Presumably he is well Informed on forestry conditions. Here are soiue figures he gives which show how the changed and changing "Conditions have affected n particular pant of the country. Says Colonel Greeley: "Chicago is the greatest lumber market In the world. Since 1890 an average of over 2,000,000,000 fee* of. lumber has come Into Chicago every year, tn 1920 the figure was nearly 2.500.000,000 feet, 60 „ per cent of which went into lo<$l construction and manufacturing industries. In 1900 the average freight paid on lumber coming into Chicago was less than $3.per thousand feet. Since that time the local sources of supply for this territory have been exhausted one aftef another, Lumber shipments have traversed greater and greater distances. and the average freight bill paid by the and treasurer American Paper & Pulp association, ;!|lhi0a*?o dlstrih"ter has steadily risen t# more New York city; Harvey N.

Chamber of Commerce of, the United States, Washington. D. C. This committee has gone into the subject in a broad way. seeking to get every viewpoint before making a report on which it Is hoped a policy can be formulated. The chairman appointed several founding It, represents a toll of $22,500,000 an- •ually. And while this has happened there have accumulated in the central and lake states nearly 2:5.000,000 acres of logged-off forest land which Is producing neither farm crops nor timber; $22,- 800,000 Is the yearly tax which the wood-using industries and home builders, supplied through Chieubcommittees of the original committee to deal" cago* ',n-v for the Idleness of a large part of the with specific subjects coming under, the general heading of forestry. Home of these subjects are government regulation, private holdings, individual versus public right, fire protection and ex-: penditures, acquisition of land, national forestt survey. taxes and taxation..utlllzatiifti of wood anif forest conservation, reforestation and national forests. - As an .example of how serious a problem our forestry problem Is, let me point to the well known fact that In seven years .TO per cent of the sawmills of the South will be out of business." says Mr. Goodwillie. "What this* means is better realised when We consider fhat the sawmills of the" South now produce 30 per cent of all the lumber used in the country.. * ' "These meetings are simply to get at all thf> facts, to give us a thorough grasp of the problem, "to inform us fully of its scope. When we have finished we wilt make a report and recommendations tn the bn»«! «f directors of the chamber a&d they will consider what action Is necessary. soil i' the surrounding states which should fur- Oisli t. e natural supply for this district. This sum mould plant every year 1,500,000 acres of land with forest trees. "This Illustration may be extended to cover the four states of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Slichigan. These states consume annually between 4,000,000,000 and 5,000,000.000 feet of timber iin furniture factories, sash and door mills, factories manufacturing agricultural Implements, mood-turning establishments and other wood-using industries. Sawmills are excluded from this estimate, also the requirements for general construction and bousing, and the consumption of lumber «n farms. ^ "The manufacturers referred to represent an "Invested capital of (760.000.000 and eiyoll 250,000 •killed employees. This great manufacturing industry was built up on the softwood forest of the ' lake states and the hardwood forests of the Ohio -Mnd upper, Mississippi valleys, Whose products jyere available at a low transportation cost. In the average business man In the United States. Reforestation has been looked npon as a fad quite removed from the practical interests of the manufacturer. as something more concerned with parks or shade trees or rose bushes. Nevertheless, reforestation has now become a commercial necessity of the United States." Here Is how a particular state Is *alfected says Prof. P. 8. Lovejoy of the Forestry faculty, University of Michigan: "A third of Michigan virtually Is bankrupt, unable to pay Its way with schools and roads, get- Ing poorer instead of richer from year to year, producing less and less of value. This third of Michigan takes 10.000,000 acres or so. the most of It being In the northern part of the Lower Peninsula, the rest in the Upper Peninsula. The hulk of tfeese bankrupt lands were originally in pine for- Jest. From 1870 to 1900 Michigan leSd the world In the quantity, quality and value of its timber experts. Today Michigan is k tremendous Importer of timber anti other forest products. This Is unusual but not iu Itself a proof that anything Is radically wrong. Ohio, also, was covered originally with timber and Is now a great importer andis, nevertheless, prosperous dpd thriving. ' "But in the case of Qhhvthe removal of the forests was followed promptly by Intensive agricultural developments; the land went from a lower to a higher kind of use. ' "Michigan-grown hemlock, shipped 200 miles, sells at the same price in Detroit as does fir grown on the Pacific coast and shipped 2,000 miles. The hickory for the wheels of Michigan automobiles is coming from Arkansas and Mississippi. The oak for Grand Rapids furniture Is being cut In Louisiana and Tennessee. Michigan does not even supply Itself with enough telephone poles and railroad ties, but imports poles from Idaho and ties from Virginia. Much of the paper on which our newspapers are being printed Is made from Canadian spruce. Box-boards are being shipped In from Pennsylvania and Arkansas and California. The state imports much more timber than It cuts and cuts much more timber than It grows, constantly grows and cuts less and constantly Imports more. "The freight bill on Imported lumber alone Is coating Michigan around $2,000,000 a year, and, each year the freight bill Is due to increase greatly as the sources of supply recede with the steady devastation of the "forests of the South and West. Meanwhile Michigan continues to support 10,000,- 000 acres or so of idle lands which a few years ago were producing the .most generally useful kinds of timber the world ever had. White pine lumber practically is out of the market. There is not a town o< 5,000 In the state which does not import yellow pine from the Gulf states." Forest fires In the United States annually destroy more than 2,000,000,000 feet of timber. More than 160,000 forest fires, haye occurred In the United States during the past five years, 89 per cent of which were due to human agencies and therefore preventable. These conflagrations burned over 50,488.000 acres--an area greater than that includes! within the states of Ohio sin! Fenusyiva nia--and destroyed $$5,700,000 worth of and property. w*.. $s Fall ears /• Despite the mushroom success of new tailors and di*essmakers in Paris who have brought out certain simple types and popularized them to an almost unheard of extent, many women, writes a Paris fashion correspondent, ttpw are ordering their clothes from houses tliat have held to their own definite types through all these changes In fashion. ^ Madeleine Vlonnet.'who only a short time ago might have been termed an outsider in the great dressmaking circies. has Impressed both France and America very deeply with her simple floating panel styles and handkerchief drapery, Ijut as women continuallv deextent of the dull finish aid the crapy weave in sllka. Lanvin g I ways has been an originator of most interesting embroideries. Recently she has been working out some extraordinary effects through entirely new means. For instance. she uses tinsel tinted in lovely color tones and applies it tb the frock to give the effect of embroidered panels. 6ome New Trimming Effects. In a charging suit this effect has been achieved through the use of the white braid and, blue beads. One cannot imagine this maker departing entirely from embroideries or em-. r/T Try!n/ ^peS the °PP?rtunlty 18! broidered effects, as work of this sort j-rtRX; not lacking ^or the success of a variety of styles. This gives a house like Jeanne Lanvin an opportunity to keep her definite types. One model Is a hoS coat suit in blue serge marked off In little squares with white braid and blue beads. It has the high frilled collar and jabot which continue to find favor. Lanvin has for some time been a strong advocate of these short, youthful-lookinc jackets, as well as all sorts of frilled high collars and fluffy jabot effects. Designer's Mark Always Present. It is a very good thing for clothes In general that the great makers hold definitely to ideas that are distinctly their own. The destgnlng and making of dress is a great deal of a gamble, the past two years have shown very plainly that there is no teeing when a very simple thing may meet with an almost over-night success. If pll the dressmakers In Paris nad followed Vlonnet's lead and made her type of dress because It was the best seller for the time being, they would have lost their cachet completely and would have been practically nowhere when the wave of enthnslasm over this., particular style had died down, as It certainly must. Of course, they cannot always hold to a definite type, No designer can do this and.be a success. New themfs or variations of successful old ones must he continually worked out. : Flowing Sleeve and High Collar. The same holds true of those who do not design /tlothes, but Import to America the/works of the various great French makers. They must permit theirt own taste to prevail in making their choice. For Instance, it was all very, well to bring over those unique models from Madeleine et Madeleine which had the waistline placed at the knees, If one desired to show great novelty, but It was not reasonable to suppose that the women of this country or any other, no matter caprlciou^they might be, were such a fantastic style. Thennrrt' two outstanding features Of the Lanvin clothes which are noticeable In dress at the present time--the flowing sleeve of greater length than those used heretofore and the high collar. The former might be termed a fashion Which Is thoroughly crystallised and the latter a strong fashion tendency. Sleeves open at the top to reveal almost the entire arm are featured In one frock. It was created by Lanvin for a well-known French actress to wear hi a recent production. DISCUSSES '"t HIS WIFE'S TROUBLES ~ Ifcv. A. H.

HINTS TO THE NEEDLE-WOMAN 8up*r«titlons That Are Believed to %ring Both Good ahd Bad •nV- Luok. According to old books' and beliefs, the needlewoman can do a great deal to bring down good or bad luck on heijself by the way she works. Here are some points to remember: If you are handing a needle to a friend, be sure to hand it with the eye towards her. If the point Is in her directions ourfriendship with her will be severed. Superstition cannot say enough about the extreme bad luck of having your clothes mended on you, or mending someone else's while they are being worn. Some authorities say that each stitch taken under these conditions means a tear; others, that each stitch means an enemy: hut all agree that misfortune will follow. The breaking of a needle brings no such dire fate, but Indicates that the person for whom the garment is being made will marry within the next 12 months. It is also fortunate to be a' person whose stockings always need darning on the ball of the foot Don't cross your stitches when seeing on a button. If you work around from hole to hole, instead of across, your luck will be far better. For some strange reason it Is not considered fortunate for a girl to stitch her trousseau herself; though a widow remarrying Is sure to be happy in her choice If she mends a pair of trousers on her second wedding day. Making baby-wear for the seventh child of a seventh child Is sure to bring prosperity to the needle-woman. Bolter Than P i l l s _ For Liver I l l s NR Ton igh t _ Tomorrow A l r i g h t Changeable.
