SHOULD LEAD WORLD IN PULP Vi/OOf) CHOP United States Capable of Producing Own Supply. > Washington,?As In the productlpu of corn crops, the United states can lend the world In the production of timber crops for pulp wood, declares the lure#I service, United States l)?: partineut of Agriculture, in its new publication on pulp wood supplies,. This report wus prepared in co-op eration With the American Paper and I'ulp association, and represents the most comprehensive survey of , pulp wood resources ever tnude in this country. It has been printed as a pub lic document and is available for kou era I distribution upon request to the forest service, Wushlngton, D. C. ?To understand the paper and pulp filiation now confronting the United States, the report says, It is necessary to realize that over 90 per cent of all paper consumed In the'Unlted States Is imide from wood, and that UK) per cent of news-print paper Is so made. The consumption of paper In the United States amounts to 8.000,000 tons a year. It takes over 9,000,000 cords of "wood to make this amount At the present time this nation im ports over half its paper supply in the form of finished paper, pulp and wood suitable for making pulp. Hut the forest service declares the raited States can become Independ ent of foreign countries for its paper supply by, first, growing larger tim ber crops on forest land; second, by better utilization of forest products; and third, by the erpanslOn of paper making processes so that more species of timber can be used for pulp wood. Farmer Biggest Timber Owner. At the present time, the newly pub lished report states, the United Statet contains 470,000,000 acres of forest iand not needed or taken by agricul ture. It Is upon these lands that larg er timber crops should be grown. Hie farmer Is the largest single class of Umber land owners, hating about 150, 000,000 acres, or one-third, In the form of small woodlots. The potential productivity of this timber land Is higher than thtt of any otix#c which Is nn Important paper-producing na tion. The principal species of timber now used in making paper are spruce, fir, hemlock and poplar. One reason why the United States is forced fro import over half its paper supply is because of the centralization of the paper making Industry in the northeast and lake states where large stands of spruce, fir, hemlock and poplar were once available in large quantities, nut as these timber stands were also ??a I led upon to furnish a large share of tho country's lumber supply, they have been drained to such an extent that they no longer can meet increas ing demands. New York ranks first as a paper* producing state, yet gets over half Its raw materials from outside. Penn sylvania ranks second, and also has to depend upon outside sources. Wis consin is the third largest paper-mak ing state, and it, too. Is forced to go outside Its boundaries for much of <ts raw materials. Tho optimistic note in the report Is furnished by the fact that Washing ton. Oregon. Caltf?rrrtfa and Alaska, to gether with the- pine timber in the South, still contain soft-wood forests which can be utilized for paper n/ak inL' if these forests are logged in a wise fashion and protected from the terrible devastation caused by forest fir os. Paper Supply Is Vi^al. "To show the vital necessity for this nation to have ample supplies of pa per for all time," says a statement 'roin f(>r(?Sf service, "it is only riccfssnry to point out the fact that ?Mir per capita consumption is twice th;it of Great Itritain, the next larg ,v( paper-consuming nation. Social ??nil oconornic questions would ho In volved if this onuntry's supply of pa per and paper products were to be mrtalled. "The public has an interest In thin problem which it can help solve by legislation looking' to the protection of forest land from fire and other forms! of devastation, and by continued re search into methods of timber growing *nd utilization. "The paper and pulp industry should, to safeguard Its own interest, assume the leadership In timber grow ing upon Its own forest land and those upon which It Is dependent for pulp wood supplies." Whistling Saves Wheat Crop Kphrsta, Wash.?George Creel, a farmer's son gifted with the faculty of falling birds by Imitating their whl? tllng, saved his father's wheat crop by enticing quail near the habitation Early in the spring George Imitated male quail calling their mates. He con 'inually was answered. Continuing, he Induced flocks of them to nest along the Irrigation ditches. Throughout the wason thus far quail are plentiful In the fields and orchard of this farmer It Is believed the presence of so many of them helped keep away the grass hoppers which have ravaged many I nearby section*.

The rojnanoe and mystery surround ing the statue were heightened by Mr. Meeker's declaration that he had uot posed for the piece, did not know It was in existence and could not offer an explanation for its presence so far away from the Old West In which he spent his early days. "There are my oxon," said the plo> neer as he examined the baso of the miniature statue with <t magnifying glass. "Look how that horn turns down; how well I remember that." He found that even the Improvised cloth feed bin, used In Rolng over the pioneer trails, was depicted true to life. The statue Itself Is Mr. Meeker in miniature. The broad-brimmed hat, the headed Indian vest, even the gauntlets, the pioneer recognized at a glance. Mr. Well was unable to satisfy Mr. Meeker's curiosity regarding the orig inal of the statue. The method of casting bronze In Austria is familiar to Mr. Well, he said, and could not be duplicated easily outside of the country. Mr. Weil Is sure It was pro duced In Vienna. The sculptor's name, Inscribed on the base, Is C. Curtz, but the name does not offer any clew to the origin of the piece. ? j Stock for Indian Arrow Required to Be Perfect Every plains teepee had hanging In It a bunch of slender sticks seasoning ' for arrows. If particular in the materials for his bow fflie brave was even more so where arrow stock was concerned. Any available hardwood, If straight and free from knots, served.- When seasoned, the shaft was meticulously scraped and smoothed and feathered with various pinions. The Arapahoes and Cheyenne nsually used those of the wild turkey, softened In tepid water, split and glued with a glue made from a large muscle at the back of the neck of the buffalo, writes Frank H. Huston In "Adventure." The glue was less susceptible to cli matic variations than any other used by the tribes. The final touch was given by placing an Individual mark upon the shaft to identify the person who made the kill, whether of human or brute game. Heads were made from flint, obsi dian, odd bits of iron and even old barrel hoops, until, toward the last of the bow and arrow days, traders carried In Iron ones made in easterri and English manufacturing towns, shipped In barrels. Spain's Gift to Britain I Spain has recently made England a I present of a model of ' the Santa Maria, the ship In which Columbus sailed to America, and the gift recalls others given at various times by one country to another. Everybody has heard of the famous Liberty statue In New York. This was presented to America by Prance In 1884. Some years ago the French govern ment presented a Sevres vase to th^ British museum. It Is a magnificent specimen and very valuable. Ancient weapons, such as guns, swords and so on, are fairly common gifts from one country to another. That which is knowi? as "Queen Eliza beth's pocket pistol" was a gift to Great Britain from the Netherlands. It was cast as long ago ns 1544.? London Tit Bits. Detecting the Bogus I French chemists have perfected now methods of identifying pictures, ao cording to the American Cheiniral i society. They use groups* of red, blue, green or white light to Mglit the pic ture, and they examine the suspected canvas with the spectrometer. This puts in relief the retouchings, scrapings and changed signatures which constitute a false picture. By employing the ultra-violet ray they make the zinc white and certain var- j nishes stand out by fluorescence. By scraping off ermall amounts of paint they have made spectrograph!* analyses and hare been able to de termine, for example, Jn a false Re noir, the presence of a cadmium yel low, when Renoir only used chroms yellow. 1 Keyhole in Demand Peter was no different from other hoys.

Moscow.?Sables or oil? That la tht question which the Soviet govern* meat's planning commission must de cide. i Far off in the northern/Pacific the peninsula of Kamchatka protrude* from the mainland like a dagger blade separating the Bering and H\jnter ?eaa. For decades Kamchatka has been Russia's best happy hunting ground for sables, Kvery year 5,000 of the Mttle blue-black animals, whosp skins -re vtllued at approximately 3500,000, were hunted down on the peninsula. ' * Now' an expedition led by P. L Polevov, a geologist of the Soviet geo logical survey, lias discovered ell on Kamchatka. The oil Is of an extra fine quality and yields 75 to 78 per cent of kerosene, whereas the best crude product of the Baku Held yields only 40 per cent. The find Is of paramouut Impor tance to the economic development of Siberia. Russia's unfathomable petro leufn resources In the Caucasus are too far from this vast domain, while the oil fields In northern Sakhallen, which have been granted as a conces sion to the Sinclair company, are atlU occupied by- .Tupaneso troops. Consid erable pressure la therefore being put on the Moscow authorities to appropri ate a sum of money fof the opening of the Kamchatka field. But here the sablee Interfere. The' oil deposits which Professor Polevov has discovered are situated Just below the trapping grounds for sables. The sables from the entire peninsula rush Into this trapping space during a certain season of the year when the three rivers of the dis trict, overflow their banks. The small fur-bearing animals seek refuge In the high open preserve especially set aside for this purpose by the govern ment. A decree prohibits any man ner of Industrial or mining activities in the area. And the soft sables, seeking refuge, find* death. Experi enced hunters have no difficulty in trapping the creatures wholesale. Kamchatka supplies one-fourth of, Russia's sable*. Will madame be able to step into one of those brilliant shops on Fifth avenue next summer and buy herself a cape made of Kamchatka sable? It depends on the decision of the bol sheviks In Moscow. Will they annul the decree and permit the sinking of wells, thus to drive the sables away, or will they be kind to the sables and help them reach Paris and New York?

' Ten Thousand Pay Final Tribute To j ? ?- Noted Chicago Criminal. Chicago, November M.?Thousands of persons filed past tfoo ornate, flow er' bedecked casket of Dion (Dean) O'Banion all night and this morning in final tribute to the florist, gunman, rum runner and hijacker, slain Mon day morning in his flower shop by three gunmen who called ?him from his task of trimming chrysanthe mum stems. The funeral was looked forward to as the greatest in Chicago's territory oven passing that yesterday of Mich ael Milo, friend of O'Banion and 1,000 automobiles, twenty-five of them car rying only flowers formed the cor tege from St. Clements church where 10,000 persons had gathered for the last rites. O'Banion's funeral today was with out the blessing of the church al though burial in consecrated ground was permitted. Organized by the great amount of publicity and open threats of O'Ban ion followers to "shoot it out" with adherants of other groups of gunmen, Mayor Dower directed that every known pistol toter be searched On sus picion as frequently as encountered. He has planned a conference today with Chief of Police Collins to de cide on measures to eliminating pis tol carrying or force them to leave Chicago. "It is time to determine whether or ganized outlaws shall continue to shoot and rob with impunity or whether decency and order will pre vail," the mayor said. Until the hoUr of the funeral, the line of men and wpmen representing all conditions of life continued to stream past O'Banion's silver and bronze casket. One gray haired and bent old wo ndan shuffled by. She spoke of the dead gangster's friendship. "He put my boy on the right track at the right minute," she said..?"Got him a good job in an office and gave him a suit of clothes to fit the job. If his enemies had known him the way I did, he'd be alive today." "Gee, he was a swell fellow," was a ragged newsboy's tribute. "Ho bought all my papers one awful cold night last winter and paid $6 for them, and then took me to a restau rant to eat.'* Sustains the Chief. At a regular meeting of city coun cil Monday night, that body sus tained J. M. Youngblood, chief of police, in the "knickers" controversy brought before that body by Miss Willie Trammell, the Ogden mer chant, who made the claim that the chief was offensive in his mariner and speech as to her appearing in "knickers" on the streets of Rock Hill. Dr. J. R. Miller was the star wit ness for the defense, he testifying that he witnessed the affair and that he thought the chief's admonition was a remonstrance rather than a threat."

At the meeting Monday night, the following resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote: "Resolved, by city council in coun cil assembled, that after hearing the statement made by Miss Trammell and also that of Mr. Youngblood, which' later was corroborated by Dr. J.

As sh? rcachcd the place tohere the two stood the officer stepped up to her he testified, and said, "See here, I don't think you are dressed becom ingly," or words to that effect. "Who are you talking to?" he quoted Miss Trammell as answering. The chief in turn told her that she knew and added that "we might (or we could) put you in jail," the phy sician added. The conversation was more of a remonstrance on the part of the chief than a threat, Dr. Miller believed. He could find nothing offensive in it. ?Rock Hill Record.
