I Bossy's Brew Above Limit, Owner Finds Geneva, Ohio. ? Capt I. D. How art, North Geneva farmer, still hopes be will not find Molly, his favorite cow, wearing four gov- ' ernment padlocks some morning. Several days ago, Molly got hold of some damp wheat that had soured. "Molly Is a fool cow, like all mu> ley cows," said Captain Howard. "So, of course, she ate all the wheat she could hold. The next morning when I milked, the foam overran the bucket and soaked my knees. Molly had turned herself Into a brewery and far exceeded the lejjal 8.2 beer."

Articles ranging from telephone polea to clothespins are among the millions of objects made of wood which the present "metal civili sation" finds Indispensable. Even be fore the Institution of the President's forestry camps, lumbering, measured by the number of persons engaged In It, was one of the largest Industries In the United States, according to a bul letin from the National Geographic society. 1 "Lumbering and forestry, as they are at present practiced, vary widely In their aims although the cutting of wood Is a factor In both," says the bulletin. "Lumbering Is the term used for the cutting of timber for an Imme diate gain, while forestry carries the conception of long-time planning for continuous Income. If trees are stripped carelessly from land, It is frequently left open to alternate floods and droughts. Much of It be comes worthless for agriculture or recreation and can support little ani mal life. Many National Forests. "When white men came to America, It Is estimated that there were 1,004, 528 square miles of forest between the Atlantic ocean and the prairies. In what is now the West of the United States there were 220,002 square miles. This million and a quarter square miles of forests had been reduced to 733,554 square miles In 1928. Over half of this remainder had been selec tively cut over, leaving the smaller trees for future growth. Of the orig inal forests 120,875 square miles were cut so ruthlessly tlmt the land Is now practically useless. "To discourage further devastation of the country by thoughtless lumber ing methods, the government organized the forest service. The areas under the supervision of this service are the tree-covered public lands In the West which were not taken up by home steaders, and forests purchased from private owners In the East. At pres ent there are national forests In 81 states. Plans have been made for camps for the unemployed in the na tional forests of all these states. In states having no national forests, sim ilar camps will be established In state forests or on private land. "During the past quarter century, the government has emphasized the value of forests for the whole country. Homemade Money Builds Factory _____ Town in Kentucky Secures an Important Industry. Paducah, Ky. ? Construction of a fac tory to employ 1,000 to 1,500 persona Is being financed here with home-made money. Recently a large firm handling shirts previously made in the state peniten tiary, announced its products would be made outside the prison and that It was seeking location for a factory. Paducah business men got busy. They found the factory could be ' brought here if they financed a build ing costing $05,000. They gave cash and signed notes aggregating that amount Leading business men met with the Former "Goose King," 81, Says He Shod His Flock Ma?Bfleld, 111.? William H. Flrke, eighty-one years old, one-tlnio "goose king," whose name has grnced menu cards of some of the nation's beat hotels, is living quietly on his farm a half mile northwest of here. In 1017 Flrke gained his title when he fattened 50,000 geese and sold them to fancy poultry markets of the Knst. On one Sunday 8,000 visitors called at his farm to seo his arrny of geese. He la famous for his many stories of exploits, the best boing that about the time he provided a flock with shoes in order to march them overland from his farm In Tennessee to a railroad 07 miles away. To protect their feet, he conceived the Idea of "shoeing" them. Accordingly, he poured a quantity of pitch tar, heated into a scmi-llqutd state, onto the floor of his poultry houses. Then he drove his geese Into the houses, where they waddled about In the mixture for a few minutes, and then emerged properly "shod" for their long Journey. Hitching Posts, Blocks Ordered Out in Denver Denver.- ? A two-fold campaign di rected against carriage blocks and hitching posts Is announced by Police chief Albert T. Olark, Both blocks and posts are n nui sance to the present-day motorists, Chief Clark declared. In addition to damaging machine doors and fenders, th? carriage blocks have been the cause of several accidents to persons ?lighting from thetr cars, Chief Clark ,**14. The blocks and posts will he re moved without charge by city em ployees, Chief Olark told his officers. The patrolmen were Instructed to oh tslrt the permission for removal from the prworti' owners. ? mayor and decided to raise the funds through Issuance of scrip. Printers were set to work running off $25,000 In "Certificates of Paducah Industries Committee." The plan Is simple. The certificates are printed by the Paducah Industries, a body organized to supervise opera tion of the plan, They are distributed through a fiscal agent of the com mittee. An employer signing a contract to co-operate In the plan purchases a certain number of the certificates each week, paying $1 each for them. He then pny8 his employee half In scrip and half In legal tender. Here enter the stickers. Refore an employee can "spend" his certificates he must place a one cent sticker on each certificate. The stickers are printed and sold by the Paducah In dustries. The second person who receives the certificates uses a two cent sticker. The third person handling affixes an other one cent sticker. When these stickers total four cents the certificates mny be "cashed" for $1 at a bank. For the.. farmer ? and the 1930 census Bhowed over 60 per cent of the popu latlon living In rural areas ? there are two great problems that are affected by foqpstry practice. One Is. erosion, or the washing away of the valuable top soil; thu other is the distribution of rain water. If there are no trees or cover crops to sjow up the rain water as it runs down the slopes, ero sion is unavoidable. Thus water which should seep down to the valleys through a period of weeks, rushes in torrents down the stream beds, caus ing floods In the valleys followed by long periods of drought. "Aside from the protection ef farm lands and conservation of moisture, national forests bring the government a direct revenue In various ways. Full grown timber and cord wood are sold; grating 'lands are rented; water power concessions are leased; drinking water is furnished large cities; and Irrigat ing systems are provided. These projects have proved so remunerative that even with the expense of seeding new sections, and pruning, thinning, and clearing underbrush in the older growths, many of the national forests have been put on a self-supporting basis. From their Income Rome na tional forests contribute to the treas uries of counties and states In which they are situated. Fire Prevention. "Perhaps the largest single expendi ture for forestry Is for fire prevention. The toll of life is not ordinarily great, deaths from forest fires rarely running over 50 persona a year; but the dam age to forests and the dependent wa ter districts has been found to amount to millions of dollars. To avoid this loss lookouts are placed on high points of national forests and constant watch Is kept for the telltale smoke. Forest rangers now frequently are successful In beating out fires before tliey have passed the possibility of control. Pub lic education has done much to limit the horror and waste of theRe fires ; but one unavoidable cause, lightning, accounts for more than 25 per cent of the fires. "The forest service has been quick to see the recreational possibilities of the forests, and roads have been built, hiking clubs encouraged, lake shores cleared, trails broken, and camping grounds established, so that tourists, climbing enthusiasts, fishermen, and hunters mny have an opportunity to Indulge In their favorite avocations. Summer home sites have been leased in a number of the forests for those who wish to live a more settled life in the woods. Botanists and zoologists have keenly supported the forestry movement, so that rare plants and animals might be preserved. "The forest service has taken with it roads, telephones, radio, and other instruments of civilization and has brought prospering occupations to for merly Isolated spots, many of them of striking scenic beauty. It has given a new vision to many lumbermen, per suading them that ultimate good for the country can be achieved and great harm averted by substituting the Ideal of forestry for that of lumbering." Transients Increasing Fast, Survey Reveals St. LouIb. ? America's transient pop ulation la increasing at an alarming rate, a survey by O. M.

Which Is a perfect ly good reason why the right choice of the right veil and headdress Is so vastly Important, for they can make or mar the pic ture. The fact that designers. when It comes to bridal veils, are In a particularly dare-to-be-orlglnal mood this season Is a good omen. It means that modern brides are being veiled to type rather than following prescribed rules. The group pictured shows how very versatile present-day brides are being veiled. The exquisite ensemble on the seated figure at the top bespeaks a recent gesture among designers toward crowning the bride with little beret fan tasies which depart from the regulation fitted lace or tulle cap versions. The circular flare of tulle about the face and at the back Is perfectly charming. The lace-bordered three-quarter veil with Its rounded silhouette Is an In novation. Not only are these beret arrange ments In vogue, but Borne of the most fashionable brides of the season are wearing the most ravishing little hats of tulle with visorlike brims, also of tulle, a wreathlet of orange blossoms encircling the shallow crown, the veil draped with consummate art to fall over the shoulders en train. Then, too, in tune with this new theme of tulle hats with a brim, little "setB" - are offered at smart shops, which cater to brides, which Include enchanting flower toques, either of roses and petals or of orange blos soms and buds, with muffs made of the same, the newest Idea bolng for the muff to be heart-shaped. The voluminous veil is worked to fall In graceful billowy mnsBes over this flow er headpiece and the long train of the gown. The Inspiring thought about these lovely tlower ensembles is that one need not take the responsibility and burden of working out these be guiling funtastles at home, (or they are available at most any milliner shop or stores which make a spe cialty of outfitting brides with veils and headdresses. Flower hats and muffs in different colors for the bridesmaids complete the picture. The alluring fitted lace cap and lace trimmed veil posed on the seated fig ure below In the picture Is ,1ust such as brides-to-be dream of when they plan their trousseaux. The distin guishing feature about this veil is that the rarely beautiful lace Is Inset, in stead of the usual border arrange ment. There Is something very Interesting to tell about the veil on the bride standing to the left. The veil Is made In two sections, so that after the cere mony the bride can remove the lace bordered long train. If she so desires, without Interfering with the youthful capelike portion which so becoming ly envelops her shoulders In a mist of tulle. Thus she can move among her guests after the ceremony with per feet freedom. The better shops are showing these duo-veils this season. For the bride who dotes on the un usual, the veil on the standing figure centered to the right should prove an attraction. It Is novel because of the high Medici pleated collar which so handsomely defines the neckline. C. 1?3S. Western newspaper Union. SLEEVELESS COATS, CHIC ENSEMBLES The coming summer Benson, as well as this spring, will see the success of ensembles composed of contrasting coats and dresses, whether the latter be In plain fabrics or In prints. How ever, this new type of ensemble will be entirely different from the comblna tlon which has been so much In evi dence this last season, and which usually consisted of a plain coat lined with print and matching the dress worn beneath. The new coat will not only be In a contrasting material and coUt from the dr<?98 but will be treat ed 1 s ft n entirely separate item. Paiuu has short pearl gray conts worn over raven-blue dresses. .Jenny hns a vivid green and carrot-red coat, which she places over black rayon lacquered satin dresses. Sleeveless coats are sponsored by leading dressmakers to give more Im portance to the full contrasting sleevos of the dress. Designers Now Arc Using Plain and Printed Linen There already has been discussion about the Importance of the printed crepe Jacket, worn with the monotone crepe dress, and of the printed crepe accent. Repeating this Idea, hut giv ing It n fresher appeal, designers are now using printed linen. The dress In solid color that Intro duces printed linen as a trimming Is also In summery mood, the linen light and bright, the dress In crepy or heavy sheer. These are practical as well as smart fashions, since the linen Is wash able and the trimmings are usually de tachable. Chicken Fool Weave Used in All Part* of Costume Of course you are, or ought to be, thoroughly familiar with that material hit of the season called Le Had de Poule, tn all of Its variations.

Howe About: Future Wisdom Greatest Americans Your Manners By ED HOWE OFTEN speak of Hie wisdom * ? of old men, to compare It with the recklessness of youth. But how much wiser Is the old world, with Its millions of years, than on old man, with his possible and piti ful s'eventy 1 Such education as the people finally accept Is forced on them by the slow grind of the ages. As selfish, cautious creatures always In danger, experience Is the master men finally learn to fear, I expect more wisdom In the future than we have In the present, because of the education of experience. I often wonder wtiat Is the most probable development of the future. 1 he present nge has been so bedeviled by folly that common sense may final ly be triumphant. The men of the future who read of the distress of 1933, most of It unnecessary, should 4k be greatly improved In caution and V behavior. ? ? ? A man lately asked me to name the fifteen greatest Americans of all time. It would take me a year to make such a list, and then my list would be of small consequence; hut I have been thinking the question over and writing names on pieces of paper I shall probably later use. One name on the list at present is that of Julius Itosenwald. I admire him because his concern once got Into trouble, and he worked It out with his own resources, intelligence and energy ; he did not un load on the public. Another name I considered was that of Thil Armour; his concern was very notable while he was alive. I thought of adding the name of Clem Studebuker of South Bend, Irid., but hesitated when the morning paper announced the com pany ho founded was in trouble. In fairness it should be added that the name Studebaker wos widely respect ed when old Clem, wagonmaker and blocksmith, was in control. Many great Americans have had their fame clouded by modern sons, sons-in-law, promoters, hankers and b- id sales men. I do not know exactly when It began, but fifteen or twenty years ago hundreds of the most prominent busi ness men In America began bonding their concerns, either from fear of present conditions, or because of greed. Many of these bonds, at first . paying enormous dividends, are now ^ worthless. When my list of the fif teen greatest Americans is completed, the name of no man who engaged In that movement will disgrace it. ? # ? In mingling with neighbors or strangers, I wish to conduct myself in accordance with the accepted rules of human association, to avol<l giving an impression I am a rude, foolish or un fair man. I am equally onxlous to make a good Impression in what I write for print. I have been terribly punished by the loose and dishonest manner In which I believe our government aflalrs have been conducted, and feel strongly that the politicians are largely to blame, but In my complaints do not wish to lead readers to believe I am a special ly poor loser, or unfair or fanatical In my charges; in all my appearances. In print or In social affair, at ticket window or counter, I try to remem ber nay manners. As a child, when I became noisy, rude or unreasonable, my gentle moth er said : "Remember your manners." This was the severest correction she ever Inflicted on me, and no other has Impressed me more. ? ? ? -1 One frequently reads thnt the thing men most constantly look for Is pleas ure. I have never thought so. The men I have known In a long life have been most active In looking for the com/ortable way ; the path with few est rough and disagreeable pl*cee. There are half a dozen roads from my home in the west of Florida, and I have traveled most of them ; never In expectation of finding pleasure, but In the hope of finding the easiest way. I never look for pleasure; few do, but we all look for relief from dull hours, or discomfort, or threatened danger. ? ? ? Sir Henry Deterding, director of a petroleum compnny, which under liis management has grown In thirty year* from n small corrcern producing cheap oil In Borneo to a position of world wide power and Importance, lately wrote: "All solutions are simple, The complicated or.es belong to poll tlcians, would-be economists, and the like, and are no solutions, but lend further Into the mire." I beg the reader to seriously consider this say ing by h noted and honest man* ft>r I have long believed, and often said, that all solutions are simple. When truth In difficult to get at, It Is ques tionable truth. ? ? ? I have heard bouse agents say they have little trouble with men renters (except In collections), but that wom en so constantly demand repairs and Improvements that such a Ihlng as a ^ profitable rented house Is almost un known. One agent says he has an old house In which he permitted .1 poor family to live rent free this win ter, nnd that the wife of the tenant kept after him so stendlly he made twenty ?even dollars' worth of repairs In three months to get rid of her call* snd complaints. Next spring the Agent nays he will nsk the family to move and burn the house. ?. lilt, n?ll R?nill?*t?,-WNU Hnrvle*
