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."

Wood It Indispensable in
"Metal Civilization/'
Washington. ? 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.

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

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."

Bridal Veils in Versatile Mood
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
F COURSE every bride
Is supposed to look her
loveliest at her own wed
ding. 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.

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.

Of course you are, or ought to be,
thoroughly familiar with that material

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*

wide power and Importance, lately

The complicated or.es belong to poll

reader to seriously consider this say

I have heard bouse agents say they
have little trouble with men renters
(except In collections), but that wom

Improvements that such a Ihlng as a ^

old house In which he permitted .1
poor family to live rent free this win

kept after him so stendlly he made
twenty ?even dollars' worth of repairs
In three months to get rid of her call*
